well, I see I arrived at an opportune moment, thanks, mrp! :)

3:09 am

rubyfoo

3:09 am

Haz1558

Good morning, ruby, rbud.

3:09 am

rbud

hi, ruby, vash, g'rose, and anyone else...

3:09 am

rubyfoo

rose, are yu stil here?

3:09 am

rubyfoo

gm, haz

3:11 am

Haz1558

ruby, I saw in the chat log yesterday that you had found Max's body.

3:12 am

rubyfoo

yes, he drowned in the fishpond from which he has been drinking for several years

3:12 am

rubyfoo

he is buried in the garden next to Cleo and Rufus

3:12 am

rubyfoo

I haven't stold my husband, as he is too fragile to handle it

3:12 am

grannyrose

yes, ruby, so sad about max

3:12 am

rbud

oh, my! I missed that, my sympathies, ruby! - and you were right all along about him having passed on.

3:13 am

Haz1558

It gives you some kind of relief to know what happened, I hope?

3:13 am

rubyfoo

thank you all

3:13 am

Haz1558

Will your husband not notice the grave?

3:13 am

rubyfoo

yes, it is surely better than if he had been hit by a car and died alone in the bushes somewhere

3:13 am

rubyfoo

no, he doesn't notice much and it is off to the side of the garden, under the pines

3:14 am

rbud

how is the new little fellow doing?

3:14 am

rubyfoo

the handyman and I put pine needles and cones over it, so it isn't noticeable

3:14 am

rubyfoo

the scary thing is that he drinks from the pond, too.

3:14 am

rubyfoo

(not the handyman, Rufie)

3:15 am

rbud

maybe time to fence the pond?

3:16 am

rubyfoo

yes, we are trying to figure out how as the ground around it is sloped (hence the low, drinkable spot)

3:18 am

Haz1558

I take it the pond is still stocked with fish?

3:18 am

rubyfoo

they have not been very visible yet as it is still cold at night

3:19 am

rubyfoo

but there are some huge ones in there

3:20 am

Haz1558

So you've got to figure out a way of keeping the pond with the fish off-limits to the pup without letting your husband know why.

3:20 am

rubyfoo

exactly

3:20 am

rubyfoo

and, for the moment, he can just barely reach it

3:20 am

rbud

call it a decorative whim, maybe?

3:20 am

rubyfoo

whatever we do must be sturdy because he's a strong and stubborn little fellow

3:21 am

rbud

but then you'd need a pretty fence, lol

3:21 am

rubyfoo

it is hard to imagine how Max fell in as he only put his front paws and big head over the edge to drink

3:21 am

grannyrose

ruby, would explaining that you were afraid that ruffino might fall in help. then present the netting as a fait accompli

3:22 am

Haz1558

Stage an incident in which the pup apparently falls in. Your husband doesn't need to know that the pup is wet because you've doused him with a watering can.

3:22 am

rubyfoo

yes, I've already raaised that issue, before I knew about Max, but husband didn't even want to hear it

3:22 am

rubyfoo

that's a funny idea haz, thanks for making me smile!

3:22 am

grannyrose

good one, haz

3:23 am

Haz1558

I'd love to know if it works!

3:24 am

Haz1558

And it would be in the pup's best interests as well because you would never forgive yourself if anything really did happen to him.

3:24 am

rubyfoo

I tried to scare him away from the pone yesterday, but he stubbornly practically knocked me down to get at it!

3:26 am

Haz1558

It's going to be a case of tough love all round. Or could you pretend to fall in the pond as well?

3:27 am

rbud

well, there are those electric barriers you bury, but the dog has to have the matching collar, and I hear it doesn't work on some.

3:27 am

rbud

once they get past it once, they know it only lasts for a second

3:28 am

rubyfoo

<-- can't swim either

3:28 am

Haz1558

Watering can and strategic bits of pondweed....

3:29 am

rubyfoo

Rufie loves the pond weed, must smell delicious

3:29 am

rubyfoo

aired

3:29 am

rbud

haha, tell him the dog caught a fish? ;p

3:30 am

rubyfoo

no more chat for me! is there coffee in the PB?

3:30 am

Haz1558

Nobody saw it, ruby, we're too busy hatching schemes.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

that is kind, haz!

3:37 am

Haz1558

I must take a break and get some chores done. I'll see you later, bye for now!

3:37 am

rubyfoo

bye, haz

3:37 am

rbud

bye, Haz!

7:10 am

crosshair

indeed

7:10 am

crosshair

crossy has a bacon one of them

7:11 am

doseffing

... I'll bet that it really sizzles ...

7:11 am

crosshair

it,s a cooker:)

7:25 am

rubyfoo

hello again

7:25 am

doseffing

... morning

7:26 am

rubyfoo

cooker? sizzles? snoopy? what planet am I on?

7:26 am

doseffing

... the top line

7:27 am

Trifioso

good morning friends

7:27 am

bichon

hi ruby, what's ruffie up to now?

7:27 am

rubyfoo

big hug for trif, crossy, dose, etc.

7:27 am

bichon

Hi Trif, dose, crossy

7:28 am

rubyfoo

{{bichon}} he's splendid

7:28 am

doseffing

... g'day

7:29 am

rubyfoo

and Max's sodden body was buried (quietly) yesterday afternoon, next to the two other dead pups

7:29 am

Trifioso

oh, ruby, how sad! you will see them all, over the rainbow bridge, honey

7:29 am

bichon

you found Max, how? He's gone?

7:30 am

rubyfoo

the handyman found him at the bottom of the fishpond where he always had his late-night drink

7:30 am

rubyfoo

he'd been doing it for years

7:30 am

rubyfoo

can't imagine how he fell in

7:31 am

bichon

Alas. So sorry

7:31 am

doseffing

... heart attack?

7:31 am

rubyfoo

he was so big, though, that he only had his front paws and snout in the water; I can't imagine how he could have gone over

7:31 am

rubyfoo

I'm hoping it was his heart

7:32 am

Trifioso

I am glad you found him, though. We had a BELOVED cat who did the "go off iinto the wood' thing at the end of his life, and it was torture, the not knowing

7:32 am

rubyfoo

that's what I was afraid of; at least he was home

7:33 am

Trifioso

exactly. do you know the rainbow bridge poem, ruby ? it's pretty hokey, but I love the concept

7:34 am

rubyfoo

I don't know the poem, but I knew what you meant. There is surely a special place in heaven for our lost animals

7:34 am

Trifioso

hang on, I will find the link for you....herin is wearing off on me, as you can see!

7:34 am

rubyfoo

could you send it to my e-mail, trif? hokey would feel good right now

7:36 am

lbdawger

gm, everyone, clue for the lone E second row?

7:39 am

rubyfoo

thank you, river, it is very sad

7:39 am

rubyfoo

I'm not telling my husband

7:40 am

Riverdance

Yes I know only too well - I lost my old girl this week

7:40 am

rubyfoo

how old was she?

7:41 am

Riverdance

just shy of 14

7:41 am

rubyfoo

that she had a long, good life, doesn't make it any easier for you I'm sure. We invest so much of our hearts into our animals

7:41 am

Riverdance

she is also buried in our back yard next to our first dog

7:42 am

rubyfoo

I'm going to plant lilies of the valley on all 3 graves now

7:42 am

Riverdance

we sure do - they are like our children

7:42 am

rubyfoo

but much less critical -- she said, smiling ruefully

7:46 am

rubyfoo

see you later, folks {{river}}

7:46 am

Mom

Good morning / afternoon .... I can't stay but wanted to stop in and say hello

7:46 am

Mom

(((Ruby)))) my heart aches for you.

7:47 am

Mom

(((River))) and you as well

7:49 am

doseffing

... oh well ... there's two thirds done ... must go something which others consider useful ... barkeep! a good day for everyone! ... ... bye for now ...

7:49 am

Trifioso

what a wonderful community babble is! I know I am stating the wicked obvious, but sometime it just needs saying

7:50 am

There are over 40 ships buried underneath the city blocks of the financial district of San Francisco. The abandoned gold rush ships and the wharves were buried when landfill was used to fill in Yerba Buena cove and create more land for the residents of San Francisco.

8:04 am

bichon

chilly morning here

8:04 am

Trifioso

very chilly here too, but I cannot BEAR to hear one more new englander b*tching about it. It's MARCH, it's supposed to be cold - duh!

8:05 am

car.eeyore

TY! AMEN!!!!

8:05 am

Trifioso

sorry, that probably sounded way harsh - maybe I am just weary of bostonians and their whining

8:05 am

bichon

last week we had glorious spring weather

8:05 am

bichon

everyone whines

8:05 am

hurshy

8:05 am

pabtrek

I agree Trif, 80 degree weather is not normal for this time of year, it is supposed to be cold

8:05 am

Trifioso

us too, but that was a complete anomoly

8:05 am

crosshair

remember,at that time,anyone near the water had a ship and when they had finished their usefull life they were hard to git rid of,here in collingwood,many were towed out to deep water and scuttled,but in areas where shore front land was scarce they were often just used as fill

8:06 am

car.eeyore

We did too! And now everyone is pissed off it is cold again! Welcome to New England! If you don't like it, move!

8:06 am

Trifioso

I adore the word scuttle....

8:06 am

car.eeyore

I never thought about that Crossy. I figured people would just have used them for fires. How interesting! Very good tidbit today!

8:07 am

crosshair

the timbers were often coated with pitch,and not good for fires

8:07 am

bichon

We were talking with a young couple who are moving from Westchester [suburb of NYC] to Moscow, Idaho. We are so jealous

8:07 am

car.eeyore

Oh. I guess that would be true.

8:07 am

Trifioso

I know they still sink old metal ships, to help create reefs

8:07 am

car.eeyore

Idaho is GORGEOUS!!!!!

8:07 am

crosshair

too much work to take the innards apart as well,when you have all that first growth forest right handy

8:08 am

they don't give antibiotics to SICK animals, they mix it in with the feed and give it to all animals. result: overuse leads to superbugs that we get sick on and antibiotics are not effective to treat.

Aren't the stats clues?

11:09 am

hootowl

It's been a feeding frenzy seeing who would put up a list first!

11:09 am

bichon

yes, but they go so fast. They're onto another one and you're still trying to get the grey cells moving

11:09 am

they are but not lie we clue then here sometimes with descriptives

11:10 am

i often clue with descriptives here,but never at the flip

11:12 am

This gentleman in Australia developed a computer program that appears either on a separate page where you can paste in your words in a bulk add or to the left of the Babble Expert page

11:13 am

I think she's been doing it about 2-3am our time. It's never up before I give up.

11:13 am

1 AM here is 1 PM there

11:13 am

lol viajes,there are 56 five letter words,i am sure you will find a few

11:13 am

viajes

so it's just a person who sets it up?

11:14 am

bichon

yes, Lickety used to do it, but now his wife does it when she has time

11:14 am

yeah crossy but the da5/14 is really hidden in this one

ahh,yes,no babble affiliation

11:14 am

just one person I meant!!!! not like a game company or something

11:15 am

bichon

I don't think MrsP is affiliated at all with Babble. It's Dr.God? No, yes?

11:15 am

viajes

so is Babble "just" a person too?

11:16 am

doseffing

... Correct ... Dr. god is in Chicago ... MrP is or was in Perth Australia (I think)

11:16 am

crosshair

babble is a software program created by our esteemed DR_god

11:16 am

Erda

Babble is Dr.God; Lickety is 100% separate

11:16 am

bichon

I'm not too sure of the history and set up of Babble

11:16 am

bichon

Does the grid get chosen automatically every day by computer or does Dr. G have to start it?

11:17 am

viajes

ah, Chicago... I knew it was central time, since the flip happens at my midnight

11:17 am

12:47 pm

doseffing

... Yeah ... there are a number of farmer's organizations ... typically one in each province ... names like egg marketing board or egg producers association ... as I recall the situation from a long time ago ... there was a surplus particularly in Ontario and they were limiting farmers licenses to produce eggs and chickens and I'll bet the this contributed to making it next to impossible to sell American eggs or chickens in some provinces ... likely Ontario and Quebec which are the largest

12:48 pm

doseffing

... the American farmers ... which likely means large American food corporations ... are unable to get a license to sell in various provinces ... ... at least that's what I'll bet

poll: do you like to meet famous people, given the opportunity, even if you don't really like them? or would you only take the opportunity if you did like them?

4:41 pm

uusue2

well, I think I would have to find them interesting in some way (other than just being "famous"), hurshy

4:42 pm

hurshy

well let's say it's a former long-time senator. and like most such, engaged in cronyism and things like that.

4:43 pm

uusue2

would you have time to talk to him/her, or just shake hands?

4:43 pm

hurshy

potentially to talk.

4:44 pm

hurshy

at a reception.

4:44 pm

hurshy

a small reception.

4:45 pm

uusue2

well, that could be interesting - I'd be inclined to pick a topic that I'm interested in, and one which they might have some experience, and ask what they thought about it

4:45 pm

hurshy

1 in favor. i guess maybe there aren't enough people around for a poll...

4:46 pm

hurshy

woot! i got all the R's!

4:47 pm

4:49 pm

the free food alone is enough of a reason for me.

5:23 pm

5:25 pm

Good Enough

5:29 pm

Good Enough

5:30 pm

crosshair

i love to research stuff thasaves money and enhances my computer enjoyment

5:36 pm

rbud

I only play Babble in Opera on my PC, too, I love it. I only switched to Chrome for FB games because Opera has some flash limitations. Not many, fine for small point-and-click games (my first loves).

5:38 pm

rbud

but I have no mobile devices for internet access and probably won't. I don't even have a camera on my cellphone, just want basic call and answer. Have a computer and a camera, don't need to take them with me everywhere. :)

5:38 pm

rbud

guess I'm an old fogey, lol!

5:44 pm

MollyL

I will join you in Fogeyville Rbud. I don't need a computer with me everywhere either.

5:48 pm

rbud

I don't anticipate evr wanting a Kindle or anything like that, either, I like books. Always worked for me. But what can I say, I'm a library director, haha! :)

5:48 pm

cosdem

5:48 pm

rbud

*ever - darn sticky keys

5:48 pm

MollyL

I have a Kindle and all I do is play Scrabble on it, in places where I have to wait. I prefer "real" books.

5:49 pm

cosdem

my old lady neighbors came out and helped me lol

5:49 pm

MollyL

And the only reason I have a Kindle is because my kids gave it to me. : ) Love clothes dried on the line Cos.

5:49 pm

rbud

awww, cos is domestic! did the neighbors give you pointers? I have a clothesline, too, like to use it in good weather, just because.

5:49 pm

cosdem

lol yes they did.. then they took over and told me to sit down and watch

5:50 pm

cosdem

i think they enjoyed it!

5:50 pm

rbud

rofl!!!

5:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never wanted a cell phone either. Will I end up with a Kindle years from now because it's dominant?

5:50 pm

MollyL

<-- Wishes she had kind, old lady neighbors.

5:51 pm

cosdem

i dont have a car. one of the neighbors let me use hers whenever i want. i really lucked out with my neighbors.

5:51 pm

rbud

no neighbors here, unless you count the ones a block away across the street. we like it!

5:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Would I have disdained television, or seen it for the wondrous invention that it is?

5:51 pm

MollyL

Consider yourself blessed Cos. Nice neighbors are hard to come by.

5:52 pm

rbud

but I do have a lovely old-fashioned clothespin bag that hangs on my line.

5:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did I want my whole life to be on a laptop?

5:53 pm

cosdem

they gave me a spare clothesline today to keep so it was nice

5:53 pm

cosdem

ge7 please?

5:53 pm

rbud

I hear ya, Kap. I only got my cell in the first place back in '99 when I drove a taxi, it was just too handy. still have the same number.

5:53 pm

Kaplan the Magne

5:54 pm

MollyL

Cos, you bring out the "Mom" in all of us. : )

5:54 pm

cosdem

ooh its on the tip of my fingers hmmm

5:54 pm

cosdem

5:54 pm

rbud

you'll have to go out and hang clothes often, then, cos, or they'll be dissapointed.

5:54 pm

cosdem

lol molly i guess thats good? :)

5:55 pm

cosdem

yes i plan to do that rbud... it was just cute how they saw me hanging clothes and both cameout of their apartments and took voer

5:55 pm

rbud

something they're experts at, lol! :)

5:55 pm

blueheron

Hope you Babblers don't mind me chatting about what has been going on with my life as of late.

5:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The blossoms in Arboretum bloomed earlier than any year on memory, and I read that the hard frost will put stress on the trees, making them have to bloom twice this season. Which would be weird to see.

5:56 pm

No, people chat here all the time

Also, the bees came are here too early, and the hard frost may kill many.

Aw Blue, what's going on?

5:59 pm

crosshair

6:00 pm

rbud

you have a good point there, crossy. I might feel differently in your shoes.

6:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I never used to think that books were a thing you could have too much of, but the paradigm is shifting.

6:01 pm

crosshair

with the readers i can customize the font size

6:01 pm

crosshair

there is no such ting as too many books,i can fit 10,000 on my ereader:))))

6:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

We were always taught in school that books required care and should never be mistreated

6:02 pm

crosshair

10,0000 books will allow me a min of 2 per week..if i live that long:))

6:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It was always sort of a crime t do bad things to books, like hurt the spines or dog-ear the pages- remember that?

6:03 pm

crosshair

never kaplan,i "treat" all my new hardcovers before first read

6:03 pm

MollyL

Blue, are you still there? Go ahead and talk if you need to.

6:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Now they're things that get thrown in the Goodwill bin

6:03 pm

crosshair

drives me mental when the mrs bends a softcover back on its own spine

6:03 pm

cosdem

molly... eileen's crush on smash looks kind of like anjelica huston's deceased husband i thought that was interesting. and yes blue go on

6:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, Blue, didn't mean to talk over you.

6:03 pm

blueheron

my brother and his wife have been living with us for the last 8 months. I had a couple of meltdowns because I felt we needed space. This week my brother who is my closest relative tool a fall in our shower and broke his ankle and is in an acute rehab center until he comes home. I just feel like hell for asking them to move back downstairs. I'm just sad, that's all.

6:03 pm

mab

i think the bees will be ok, kap. a friend in Minnesota has at least one hive complex going. They can take the cold for a relatively short period of time.

6:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Do you remember having a Library Teacher in elementary school

6:04 pm

cosdem

kap: i worked in a school 3 years ago and there was a library teacher there.

6:04 pm

MollyL

Blue, be easy with yourself. It was very nice of you to take in family and that is a hard thing to accommodate.

6:04 pm

crosshair

lol,i spent my lunches in the library in elementary school cap

6:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Blue- that is awful

6:04 pm

cosdem

blue: im very sorry to hear ur going thru a hard time. family is always important but space is needed too ur a good person

6:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did you ever see "The Man Who came to Dinner?" Maybe you could watch it for comic relief.

6:05 pm

crosshair

i am sorry to hear about your troubles blue:) having family stay even for a short term is always disruptive

6:05 pm

crosshair

they must honor your need for space as well

6:06 pm

crosshair

and 8 months is a very long streach

6:06 pm

blueheron

thanks everyone:)

6:06 pm

mab

aw, blue. that is too bad, but i don't see how you could have really anticipated such an event.

6:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's a Moss Hart script about a character based on Alexander Woollcott who stays with a family in the midwest, breaks his leg and turns their household into a living hell. It's a comedy.

6:06 pm

crosshair

8 months,even my smile would be wearing thin if my brother and his wife and kids were crashing with me

6:06 pm

mab

i know that play well. blue should read it.

6:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's a fun movie.

6:07 pm

MollyL

Cos, I can only find older pictures of Robert Graham and they don't look anything like Thorsten Kaye.

6:07 pm

blueheron

Now it will be a much longer stretch, we had a friend come over today to build a ramp into our home for Lee to get into.

6:08 pm

crosshair

and downstairs will be safer for his recovery i am sure

6:08 pm

cosdem

well kinda... same built... both have same hair (robert was darker)

6:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have a breakdown if relatives stay here longer than two nights.

6:08 pm

mab

it all sounds exhausting, blue.

6:08 pm

cosdem

blue: my brother in law lived with us for a year so i can relate kind of but he didnt have a spouse

6:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You have done your duty.

6:08 pm

crosshair

if there is a totally seperate living area or apt downstaris then thats where they should be

6:09 pm

crosshair

set the rules early and all must abide by them or you will go mental

6:09 pm

MollyL

Just take it one step at a time Blue. And don't beat yourself up for getting exasperated. It's a natural thing to do when your space is crowded.

6:09 pm

crosshair

i had my father with me for 6 months and can relate

6:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I wonder why the Library teachers were always named Mrs. Fine, every one of them. I had three library teachers with that name.

6:09 pm

blueheron

don't get me wrong everyone, I grew up taking care of my brother..due to life circumstances..I was his second and perhaps only Mom.

6:10 pm

mab

The Man Who Came For Dinner was made into a movie? who knew...

6:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Is it because of the book charge when you return it late? Seriously, this is true.

6:10 pm

rbud

my nutball sister has stayed with us on several occasions, and has driven us all crazy every time. Has had to be practically kicked out every time, after far too long a stay, and is now hinting around about wanting to do it again. we are ready to scream.

6:10 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It's a great movie, with Monty Woolley, Bette Davis and Jimmy Durante.

6:10 pm

I usually end up contemplating poisening the soup.

6:11 pm

MollyL

Blue, sometimes it's hard to feel like you are always the "caretaker". Nothing wrong with that.

6:11 pm

rbud

I even have to hide from her on facebook. she's a stalker personality, and goes on for hours about boring, stupid pointless BS constantly. plus tries to convert us to Muslim, which she pretends to be, but really knows very little about.

6:12 pm

there is a reason portable "granny flats" sell like crazy at the motor home places...

6:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Definitely try arsenic. Works wonders.

whenever the jehova witness are coming up the drive(you can always tell as they all dress like twins) i pour out a tray of vodka shooters,put them on the coffee table and fire up a porno before answering the door..they stay exactly 30 seconds:)

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What did she convert from?

6:14 pm

rbud

has married multiple Egyptians and been treeated badly every time, and still chases after more of them. obsessed.

6:14 pm

MollyL

I found that people who have very little of their own identity tend to latch onto the identities of others.

6:14 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Multiple Egyptians? You mean like octuplets, or Siamese?

6:15 pm

divorce like and egyptian..lalala...nope does not work

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, like serial Egyptians, you mean.

6:16 pm

that might be her next goal, wouldn't surprise me at all.

6:16 pm

SeaSpray

8:45 pm

welki

(((mkg)))

8:46 pm

Jacula

I'm with MPittore on the positive thinking, hard though it may be to do.xxx

8:46 pm

mkg

do go to caringbridge and put in your e mail and password and click to get updates. caringbridge.org/visit/zakkai. and write in the guest book as they look at it and love seeing names they dont know! and send donations if you can to chai lifeline or their synagogue that is providing food and lots of help to them, as is chai lifeline. they provide social workers for the siblings as well. it is all so difficult.

8:47 pm

mkg

ty mpittore. we dont lose hope but it is hard when the news is bad.

8:47 pm

MollyL

I believe there is as much power in positive thought as there is in prayer. I'm sending both out for your wee one Mkg.

8:47 pm

mkg

mpittore, i live near you. i see you are in SS md. wow. i live in potomac on edge of rockville. we must meet.

mkg you must be strong for your daughter...I do my crying in the shower so my husband won't know...we got devastaing news on 3/14 as cancer is back now on second line chemo...small cell lung extensive with liver mets and SIADH for a man over 60 hits all the worse things that can be but I pray he has quality and without pain and hope for anything positive for him and I spend time in good thoughts and love...there is no time to think why him...that is unproductive...I think thank god for him in my life for whatever time we have...think of the joy that baby has brought to so many...
