Ruru, we were in the US last month, visited our old home in Marin county for a couple of days and spent a very rainy day in Napa county, including the Hass winery and its art collection.

1:00 am

rururocks

oh.. it's not been raining much lately.. I wish I knew you were here I'd have loved to have met you

1:00 am

rururocks

we've had the mildest winter ever here

1:01 am

rururocks

the art collection at the Hess collection is amazing

1:02 am

ARB

So we heard -- the only rain was the few days we were in N.Cal.

1:03 am

rururocks

oh. I'm sorry it's been gorgeous since September.. just a few days of rain

1:03 am

ARB

The whole complex is amazing. We remember sleepy Napa from 45 years ago before we moved to Israel.

1:03 am

rururocks

Napa is booming.. it's a fun town nowadays

1:03 am

ARB

More grape vines than cows, now

1:09 am

1:10 am

ARB

The homeowners assn passed a bond issue in 1972 to buy up the hill and ridge behind all the existing homes -- so they have grazing cows instead of hundreds of homes on the hills above the homes.

1:10 am

gortmold

hey babblers, is there a smart way to use someone's list so it's easy to match the words without going blind and mad?

1:12 am

ARB

You can try to copy it into Excel and play with it there

1:12 am

gortmold

that's a thought, thx arb

1:13 am

ARB

It works -- just did it.

1:14 am

gortmold

do you then copy your word list into excel?

1:15 am

mrpresident

Clues are up

1:16 am

rbud

i usually just copy it into notepad, divide it into the appropriate sections with a doublespace, shove the borders of the note around until it's a little narrow list, then move it up next to the word list in here and match away. But excel sounds interesting.

1:16 am

gortmold

praise be! that'll save much faffing about, thanks a million mrp, you are a peach

1:16 am

rbud

thanks, mrp! and hi! :)

1:16 am

mrpresident

1:22 am

gortmold

1:22 am

ursh

lol gort - i am thinking tuna salad (tinned tuna)

1:24 am

gortmold

1:41 am

mrpresident

ahh - I thought it may have been your annual getaway with your girlfriends - are you still doing that?

5:03 am

sprite

no, alas. Two of them didn't want to go anymore. They were too busy, they said.

5:04 am

lynxxx

oh well - their loss. Hope you can find some-one(s) to replace them and get it going again

5:05 am

sprite

yes, I hope so too. It was really something special. Some people don't realise the worth of what they have... and don't have their priorities right. Both of them are kind of burned out right now.

5:07 am

lynxxx

I can understand it though - you get so involved in your work/life - it is hard to see what it is doing to you. Took me 20 years to see it!

5:08 am

sprite

yeah it is not one of our easiest lessons in life, is it :)

5:09 am

lynxxx

True. And somewhat harder for women I think. All the equality/freedom/advantages are hard to live up to. You can burn yourself out being the superwoman/mum

5:11 am

sprite

oh that is so very true. It is a bit like the freedom to vote... once you have it, you feel kind of obliged to always use it too.

5:11 am

lynxxx

My husbands favorite (not!) bird is in the grid - my4.7

5:12 am

sprite

must look it up to know what kind of bird it is, hold on

5:13 am

sprite

why doesn't he like it? Because of the fruit eating?

5:13 am

lynxxx

No, because they are very territorial and are bullies

5:14 am

lynxxx

giving the other birds a hard time

5:14 am

sprite

ah! Wiki says it is an invasive species.

5:15 am

sprite

bullies like magpies?

5:15 am

lynxxx

We get the common Myna(h)

5:15 am

sprite

uhoh...

5:16 am

lynxxx

Magpies are OK actually, just during nesting time they are aggressive

5:16 am

lynxxx

aggressive = protective of their nests

5:16 am

sprite

Yeah, just read: "Several species have been introduced to areas like North America, Australia, South Africa and New Zealand, especially the Common My4 which is often regarded as an invasive species."

5:17 am

sprite

magpies also eat baby birds from other species, I believe

5:18 am

lynxxx

mmm - not that I know of - sounds like cuckoos though (none of those here)

5:20 am

sprite

looked it up. "The Magpie will eat any animal food. These foods include young birds and eggs, insects, scraps and carrion."

5:21 am

sprite

fun Magpie fact:
The Eurasian Magpie is one of the most intelligent birds, and it is believed to be one of the most intelligent of all animals. the European Magpie is one of the few animal species known to be able to recognize itself in a mirror test."

5:22 am

sprite

cuckoos are even worse. They are too lazy to make a nest or raise their own young... they lay their eggs in the nests of other birds. The cuckoo young is usually bigger and stronger than its fake siblings and it pushes them out of the nest, tiring out his foster parents by demanding loads and loads of food.

5:22 am

lynxxx

Interesting...although look up Australian Magpie

5:23 am

sprite

indeed! Also omnivoric, but does not eat young birds.

5:24 am

lynxxx

Cuckoos are revolting but very interesting - saw a lengthy program on them about a year ago

5:25 am

sprite

it is amazing, all that bevaviour, isn't it. So many variations through nature, and all so smart.

5:25 am

lynxxx

what are your common birds?

5:27 am

debjed

good morning lynxxx and sprite :)

5:27 am

lynxxx

hi Deb

5:27 am

debjed

robins, cardinals, blue jays :)

5:27 am

sprite

sparrows, seagulls, small crows (kestrels?), ducks and geese, all kinds of finches and tits, doves...

5:28 am

sprite

hi deb!

5:28 am

DTins

How many words today please

5:28 am

lynxxx

all beautiful - esp those Blue Jays

5:28 am

debjed

I saw a nuthatch the other day. and we have a lot of red tailed hawks

5:28 am

lynxxx

149 Dtins

5:28 am

DTins

TY Lynxxx

5:28 am

lynxxx

The geese are wild Sprite?

5:28 am

sprite

also small raptor birds, like hawks and owls

5:29 am

sprite

yes, quite a few of them, lyn.

5:29 am

sprite

hi Dtins

5:29 am

sprite

oh and swans!

5:29 am

debjed

we have tons of Canadian Geese. messy creatures. I love owls!!!

5:29 am

lynxxx

Is hunting allowed for the ducks and geese?

5:30 am

debjed

I'm not sure about the hunting. probably....

5:30 am

sprite

not much hunting in the netherlands, lyn. Not much areas where you can safely hunt, lol.

5:32 am

lynxxx

We have just gone thru duck season again - the protestors outnumber the shooters it seems. So many accidents over the years - they should just ban it - so stupid

5:32 am

debjed

I used to work at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine. We had a wildlife clinic with some resident raptors. I got to let a red tailed hawk sit on my arm and we had a great horned owl

5:33 am

sprite

must be a weird idea for people from Australia and US... we don't have much areas without habitation. People live everywhere here.

5:33 am

sprite

oh deb, how awesome! I love owls. Amazing creatures.

5:33 am

lynxxx

wow - how wonderful. Now those birds should be able to hunt - not [people!

5:34 am

sprite

I think hunting is fine when some animals will become a pest otherwise. For the rest... hunting for food, that is fine too. But not for fun. Yuck.

5:34 am

debjed

i agree lynxxx. The residents they have are there because they were injured and cannot be released back to the wild.

5:34 am

sprite

Side note: tell my children 'doh' is not a word.

5:35 am

debjed

:) doh!

5:35 am

sprite

I hear many dohs on a daily base here ;)

5:35 am

lynxxx

Oh dear Sprite, you seem to be getting a lot of teenage angst

5:36 am

sprite

*grin* I don't mind. Teenagers through the ages have had their own words. It is part of them feeling different from us oldies. I think it is creattive.

5:37 am

sprite

(minus one T)

5:38 am

sprite

brb... must sniff out the shed. Husband says it smells of marihuana. If that is the case, my teenager boy will find out exactly where my patience en4. Grrrrrr.

5:39 am

debjed

oh dear :)

5:39 am

lynxxx

gah!

5:40 am

lynxxx

that's funny doh is in this grid

5:47 am

lynxxx

BBS

5:48 am

sprite

that is why I said that 'dohs' was SO a word

5:48 am

sprite

and that son of mine is so de4. When he comes home, I predict most of you will be able to hear me.

5:49 am

sprite

very clear smell of the stuff in the shed. Haven't been able to find it yet. I guess I will let him show me. Husband isn't too worried. I am.

5:50 am

debjed

when does he get home? I will listen for you :)

5:51 am

sprite

let's see... vrijday today... in 4 hours.

5:51 am

sprite

am gonna ground him till his 33th.

5:52 am

sprite

33rd. Whatever. God I am mad!

5:53 am

sprite

I swear, this child seems to have to try everything God (and more importantly I) have forbidden him. Why can't he learn at least SOME things from others! Jeezz!

5:53 am

sprite

(sorry... ok, rant over. Here on babble anyway)

5:54 am

debjed

I have a niece who was a bit of trouble in high school and she turned out wonderfully. But, it's ok, let it out :)

5:54 am

lynxxx

How old is he now Sprite?

5:54 am

sprite

he will be 16 next month.

5:55 am

sprite

he tried stealing, smoking, throwing away the papers he had to deliver, and now this.

5:56 am

sprite

I hope the same for him, deb! Did her parents ignore it or did they spend a lot of time and energy putting her right?

5:57 am

debjed

her father ignored, my sister spent a lot of energy!!!

5:57 am

sprite

ah! :D Ok, my role is clear then!

5:58 am

debjed

yes, it is :) I hope all will be ok

5:59 am

NonoNanette

Good morning, Sprite, Lyn and Deb!

5:59 am

sprite

me too! Very worried, to tell you the truth. My love says it is all part of being a teenager. Well I never smoked marihuana ever. And I was a teenager too, once!

5:59 am

sprite

hi Nanette :)

5:59 am

lynxxx

hi Nono

5:59 am

debjed

good morning Nono

5:59 am

NonoNanette

Sprite stick with it, I'm sure he'll turn out ok if you keep after him.

6:00 am

sprite

thanks Nanette! Will do!

6:00 am

debjed

Take care everyone. I must go start the day :)

6:00 am

sprite

have a grand day, deb!

6:01 am

lynxxx

I think they need to know when they overstep the boundaries though. I am sure we are all guilty of trying our parents when we were teenagers.

6:01 am

lynxxx

Bye Deb

6:01 am

NonoNanette

bye Deb have a good one

6:01 am

NonoNanette

absolutely Lyn

6:01 am

sprite

I can promise you this, lyn... he will know he overstepped the boundaries as soon as he is home :)

6:02 am

NonoNanette

neither of my boys got into that sort of trouble but there were other things they did that tried my patients

6:03 am

sprite

my son has this amazing talent for knowing what will enrage me the most.

6:03 am

NonoNanette

that is a talent that many youth have

6:04 am

sprite

lol yes. Well, he is early. Guess some lesson didn't go through today. Back later. Keep your ears pealed.

6:04 am

lynxxx

My kids were terrific. HOWEVER as I worked pretty long hours during all their school years I guess they got up to stuff I wasn't aware of. They are both pretty nice adults though

6:05 am

lynxxx

deep breath Sprite

6:07 am

NonoNanette

My youngest was fasinated by flame and tried various things along that line until he got burnt. Thankfully not a major burn but enough to set him right

6:08 am

My brother had the same fascination as a child too

I was given the day off today but would rather be working

Glantarell

Mountain of stuff to do

6:59 am

I am going to try to fast today, so I thought it would be better to be at home

CAR!!!!

7:02 am

sprite

hi car, good job! I upped you one... I even cleared out the i.

7:03 am

sprite

you gotta be kidding, for littering? He must have been really bored. I once was ticketed for walking through a red light. In a deserted street.

7:03 am

Trifioso

I felt like asking him "did you dream it would be this glamourous, when you were in the academy?"

7:04 am

sprite

roflolllllll! Smart you for not saying it... but great line!

7:04 am

Trifioso

He thought he was SO generous, as he let me off with just a warning. must have been a SLOW crime day here in the hamlet

7:05 am

Glantarell

having regular contact with C12th English is definitely an advantage with this grid - more examples in the wy

7:06 am

MollyL

Damn, I had no idea they let hardened criminals from Massachusetts play this game. : P

7:06 am

Trifioso

yup, molly, that's me, the banana scofflaw!

7:06 am

Glantarell

Perhaps we should put them in the PB Molly?

7:06 am

sprite

I bet, Glant :)

7:06 am

sprite

yeah... how to rehabilitate Triffles...

7:07 am

MollyL

Well there should at least be a stockade or something.
: )

7:07 am

Glantarell

lots of words where I expect an I have a Y

7:08 am

sprite

btw, Glant, my son denied any knowledge of the stuff and I believe him. He was too relaxed about it, not like he is when he lies.

7:08 am

Trifioso

please, I gave the cop a lecture on the benefits of composting and the importance of potassium in the soil, and at that point he was so embarrassed he basically slunk back to his cruiser and continued on....he was just a pup, probably only been a cop a year

7:08 am

Glantarell

Good news

7:08 am

sprite

lol Trif, good one!

7:08 am

MollyL

It's hard to remain respectful when they look like they just started shaving last week.

7:09 am

Glantarell

just found th5 - a garden herb with a different sometimes vowel ending

7:09 am

sprite

yes, am very relieved. We share a shed wall with our neighbour's shed. So it is quite possible it does not even origine in our shed.

7:10 am

NonoNanette

good morning Eva, quite an entry there

7:10 am

sprite

that cop that ticketed me for walking through red asked, as they always do here: would you explain why you did this?
I looked up at the sky (was raining hard), at the deserted street, then at him and told him that if I really had to explain, no explaining would suffice.

7:10 am

Glantarell

thanks Eva - didn;t have the doggy one LOL - and good morning

7:10 am

sprite

hi EvaN, nice entree :D

7:10 am

Trifioso

7:14 am

7:14 am

Trifioso

I really have to, sprite. don't get many opportunities like this

7:15 am

Glantarell

7:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

Hi again

lbdawger

hi molly, kap and eva

7:19 am

Kaplan the Magne

I have to at least block off which areas of the kitchen will be Passover-ready. I don't have the will to remove everything, so I will just pretend it all isn't there.

7:19 am

Glantarell

stupid ending on my4

7:19 am

Trifioso

7:19 am

Trifioso

7:19 am

Kaplan the Magne

But now I want to get ready for the gym because I havent been since Monday, and I get unhappy when I miss my regular classes

weight watcher up here is $$$$$ about 350 a month per person

7:51 am

EvaNadine

molly, he was QUITE surprised to step on the scale the other day and realize that he has lost some weight.
i gave myself a little pat on the back for that one. ;)

7:51 am

Glantarell

and there are silly plurals in the grid too - le5/10 plurals - really???

7:51 am

EvaNadine

$350 a month?? are you SURE, crossy??

Nice job Eva!

7:53 am

Bye everyone!!!! {{hugs}}

7:53 am

Glantarell

so, what to do woth the rest of the day?

7:53 am

crosshair

plus molly remember there is no milk,eggs,margerine and all the other dairy that still must be bought

7:53 am

sprite

that is the same as here, EvaN. About 10 euro a week.

7:53 am

crosshair

my nemisis is the bakery section

7:54 am

crosshair

if i can stay away from the fresh bread and rolls

7:54 am

sprite

crossy, you don't have to buy any food from WW here. And you can follow the system without weekly meetings and then it is free.

7:54 am

Glantarell

$64 a month online here weightwatchers

7:55 am

crosshair

mm re checking...

7:56 am

Glantarell

and $35 if you go to the meetings

7:56 am

EvaNadine

i do that @work version. i believe that is the same price as the go-to-regular-meetings version.
my coworker does the online-only version, which is slightly cheaper.
once you KNOW the plan, sure, you could stop paying + just do it on your own. but i like going to my meetings.

7:56 am

EvaNadine

but yes, you are not obligated to buy anything -- are you sure youre not thinking of nutri-system or jenny craig?

7:56 am

Glantarell

the online has a big signup fee up front

7:56 am

sprite

it is only S7 a week for you, crossy, you silly!

7:57 am

sprite

yeah, a sign up fee, true. Still, nowhere near 350 a month!

7:58 am

Glantarell

no, only $15 a month after the sign up fee

7:58 am

crosshair

i am sorry,they have changed things over the years it seems,61 dollars a month plus tax.the one i remember used to send you an etire month of meals all at once

7:58 am

Glantarell

not sure if I have the will power without going to the meetinhgs

7:58 am

Glantarell

but I hate going to the meetings

7:59 am

sprite

it says for canada:
C $39.95
First 3 months
(Monthly fee C $21.95)

7:59 am

crosshair

entire

7:59 am

MollyL

Wait, Weight Watchers provides meals?

7:59 am

sprite

or:
Sign-up fee C $39.95
Monthly fee
C $21.95

Total C $61.90

7:59 am

crosshair

like i say,i remember a different set up years ago sprite

7:59 am

EvaNadine

my understanding is that WW never did pre-packaged meals. my mom did it 30 years ago + that was the case then...
the whole thing about WW is that they teach you about food, they dont make it for you.

7:59 am

crosshair

you used to get delivered and portioned meals

8:00 am

crosshair

mm..i must be losing it then..i best look at the grid a bit

8:00 am

sprite

yeah, it is not that bad now, crossy :)
I can recommend it. It is a marvelous way to go about losing weight. Healthy and applicable to any kind of diet. Leaves room for lots of freedom without ruining your work too.

8:01 am

sprite

no meals as far as I know. Just stuff like low count snacks etc.

8:01 am

uusue2

hi again all!

8:01 am

EvaNadine

i love WW because i have still been eating burgers, pizza, fast food. but i am still losing weight because now i know about portions, balance, and better control.

8:01 am

sprite

hi uusue :)

8:01 am

crosshair

howdy suze:)

8:01 am

sprite

exactly, EvaN

8:02 am

crosshair

i am damn sure there was a weight plan out there that did meal portioning and delivery...gonna drive me nuts now

8:02 am

uusue2

*sigh* my problem isn't knowing what to do (I do ), my problem is actually doing it!

8:02 am

EvaNadine

nutri-system, crossy. and jenny craig.

8:02 am

EvaNadine

medifast too, methinks?

8:02 am

crosshair

ty eva...it was nutri-system i was thinking of

8:03 am

sprite

that was not WW then, crossy. They never did that. They only have some helpful stuff you can buy or not buy, just as you wish. Like a film you can put in your pans and make each pan errrr... what is the english word... that you don't need fat to cook anything.

8:03 am

EvaNadine

nonstick, sprite?

8:03 am

sprite

that's it! Make it non-stick.

8:03 am

crosshair

see those new green pans ladies?

8:04 am

uusue2

I keep getting spam in my inbox about them, crossy...

8:04 am

EvaNadine

i just use cooking spray.
the only stuff i have bought from WW (other than a few cookbooks/tools) are some of the sweeter snacks. sometimes i like having something around that i know the point value of and the serving size without having to do the calculations.

8:04 am

sprite

and spam certainly isn't good for any di4.

8:04 am

wvteach

the local tv station showed a testing of those green pans - they didn't work - things were sdtill sticking

8:05 am

sprite

stuck at 14 left, grrrr.

8:05 am

crosshair

well congrats are in order eva...now crossy needs to see some hawt glamour pics of the new slim eva;)))

8:06 am

sprite

don't know green pans. But I know those films work perfectly. Reuseable lots and lots of times (like 100s of times) and easily cleanable as well. We use them a lot.

8:06 am

sprite

I bought the calculator, EvaN. I love to be able to calculate the value of anything at all.

8:06 am

EvaNadine

those films are probably something like silpat. you can buy them for cookie trays and other shapes of baking sheets.

8:07 am

EvaNadine

sprite, i have it on my phone. and the app + the scanner. :)

8:07 am

MollyL

I can't use cooking spray. It smells awful and leaves a sticky build up on non-stick pans.

8:07 am

sprite

I don't know, EvaN. WW sells them online here. Baklappen, they are called here. Cooking mats, would be a translation, I think.

8:08 am

uusue2

I bought a spray bottle and put my own oil in it. Works fine.

8:09 am

MollyL

Now that is a good idea Sue. The aerosol stuff is what I meant.

8:09 am

crosshair

virgin olive oil for cooking is a staple in my kitchen and always handy

8:09 am

Trifioso

have you all seen these? I think I laughed so hard I WHEEZED -- gotta love the weight watchers of the 70s!~ http://www.candyboots.com/wwcards.html

8:10 am

EvaNadine

thats what i love about WW -- everyone has their own tricks to tailor the plan to what works for them. some rely more on the foods and tools they sell, others do it all on their own.
i do EVERYTHING online, but some of the other members in my meeting do it all on paper.
whatever works for you!

8:10 am

uusue2

right, I used to use that, molly, until I read about doing it myself - was a "duh" moment - no chemicals and very cheap! (just the cost of the oil)

8:11 am

MollyL

Chicken liver bake? Fish balls? Ewwww!

8:11 am

EvaNadine

trif, one of our members has belonged for like 50 years. she has literally every cookbook they have ever put out and was telling us about one recipe for "pot roast" using hot dogs that you boiled for like an hour to get all the fat out.
yes, pot roast with hot dogs.

8:12 am

sprite

eeewwwwww

8:12 am

8:13 am

maybe from the actual mountain range called Caucasus, EvaN?

8:13 am

Trifioso

its the comments the author wrote that made me laugh so hard....

8:14 am

MollyL

The Frankfurter Spectacular has to be the best. A pineapple wrapped in hot dogs? Seriously?

8:14 am

uusue2

Ha, now, I have had actual shashlik in the Russian forest, marinated 24 hours, absolutely wonderful! and did not fit into WW in any way whatsoever :-)

we were still drinking whole milk at the time, and she brought home skim milk.
seriously, my brother + i thought she had poured water in our milk.

8:15 am

i was thinking about those chicken feet and agree with bichon that they're more than you'd expect a typical north american child to eat - BUT i think if, as an adult it was served to me, I'd be obliged to try out of respect for my host/hostess

3:43 pm

3:43 pm

4:00 pm

crosshair

crossy is scared

4:01 pm

4:02 pm

4:02 pm

4:02 pm

4:03 pm

mab

4:04 pm

mab

4:05 pm

crosshair

4:05 pm

4:10 pm

8:11 pm

jesdraggon

doing well-new pic in profile, much less rack-of-bones :)

8:11 pm

mab

an no sign of being lame?

8:11 pm

jesdraggon

still lame

8:12 pm

jesdraggon

but the sole still has big gaps and holes in it, especially the right foot

8:12 pm

mab

oh dear, that's no good.

8:12 pm

mab

he does look much better, poor thing

8:14 pm

jesdraggon

it's growing out--the sole was pretty much all nasty when he came in.

8:14 pm

mab

I don't know how you do it. I can't even watch animals suffer in movies or shows. thank goodness for people like you.

8:15 pm

jesdraggon

i'm a cold, hard-hearted wretch, just ask my employees :D

8:16 pm

mab

oh. well, that's ok then.

8:16 pm

jesdraggon

heheh

8:17 pm

mab

my vet is doing his annual good deed next weekend - he gives free rabies shots for dogs and cats of low income people.

8:18 pm

jesdraggon

We just finished a month of 1/2 price rabies--state made it mandatory to have every dog, cat, and ferret vaccinated as of jan 1

8:18 pm

mab

or low cost or something

8:20 pm

mab

i'm not sure ferrets are suitable pets. they are beautiful in a rodenty kind of way, but still creepy. i guess not suitable for me

8:21 pm

jesdraggon

they aren't rodents, they eat rodents.

8:22 pm

jesdraggon

they are not suitable pets for a lot of people, which is why there are so many of them in rescues.

8:22 pm

mab

really.... well I had no idea.

8:23 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, there's a doctor in Seattle that runs a ferret rescue. Last time I talked to her, she had 218 ferrets.

8:23 pm

mab

thought they were rodents all of my life.

8:24 pm

jesdraggon

oh, no. They're predators. Obligate carnivores, even. They'll eat pretty much anything smaller than themselves. They were bred to hunt "varmints"

8:24 pm

jesdraggon

Put them down rabbit holes to chase all the rabbits out, that kind of thing. Same family as weasels, otters, and skunks.

8:25 pm

mab

that's terrible! i hate how some people treat animals as if they were disposable. some have legitimate reasons for having to give up a pet, but 218?

8:26 pm

jesdraggon

Well, Seattle's a big area... but yeah. They are, I think, the 4th most released small animal. Top 3 are dog, cat, and rabbit.

8:28 pm

mab

one more thing to be terrified of - a ferret in one's bed.

8:28 pm

jesdraggon

heh. actually, there's a "sport" called Ferreting.

8:29 pm

jesdraggon

tie off the bottom of your pant legs, stick a ferret in the pants, and tighten the belt. The guy who can stand it the longest is the winner

8:30 pm

mab

or those snakes and other creatures that are released in the wild. the ones that are not native. in florida they've eaten almost all, literally all deer and smaller animals in some regions.

8:30 pm

mab

is that an olympic sport yet?

8:31 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, pythons are a pretty big everglades issue. Not good for local bird populations...

8:31 pm

jesdraggon

i don't think it's made the olympics. PeTA'd probably have a melt-down.

8:32 pm

mab

as if global warming were not enough, we have to have eco systems destroyed by people who thought they wanted a pet snake.

8:33 pm

jesdraggon

same argument can be made about cats and horses though.

8:33 pm

mab

well, it happens everywhere to some degree. hawaii is not at all what it started out being, etc.

8:34 pm

mab

oh yes. i can see that. it's just more shocking when something that can swallow your dlamatian whole is on the loose

8:36 pm

jesdraggon

heh. it's not like the alligators couldn't eat your dog... except that the snakes are eating the alligators...

8:36 pm

stidmama

hey all

8:37 pm

mab

hi stid. nice to see you.

8:37 pm

jesdraggon

hi stid :)

8:38 pm

stidmama

I think we should resurrect titanoboa and let it hug all the mean people... the olympics of running away from big snakes.

8:39 pm

jesdraggon

hehehe

8:39 pm

mab

sounds like a reality show

8:41 pm

stidmama

;-) no animals were harmed in the making of this drama... (no mention of humans)

8:41 pm

jesdraggon

humans are animals

8:42 pm

stidmama

hm. "all non-hominids in this drama were kept safe"

8:42 pm

jesdraggon

my6/27 clue?

8:43 pm

stidmama

jes: a legend about gods, the my6 that surrounds mount olympus. ends with greek word for mouth

8:43 pm

stidmama

or is it a latin word for mouth?

8:43 pm

stidmama

oh, sorry, that is for the 6/30

8:44 pm

mab

oh i haven't got that one either

8:45 pm

stidmama

my 6/27 is my + anglicized plural for the mouth word

8:45 pm

mab

brilliant. thanks

8:46 pm

stidmama

8:51 pm

jesdraggon

8:52 pm

stidmama

YAY jes!

8:52 pm

mab

8:54 pm

stidmama

8:54 pm

jesdraggon

stidmama
