1:57 am

1:58 am

jillibus

bad indeed, flosey!

1:58 am

westford

hi jilli..I thought everyone had gone to bed

1:58 am

flosey

apparently their only day hmmmm, seems too many are saying that

1:59 am

westford

how many are you expecting?

1:59 am

flosey

so I bought, no home baking - have to tidy up a bit

1:59 am

jillibus

I'm so glad I'm not bothered with AH any more, flosey -- a real pain in the neck

2:00 am

flosey

it's just one table west - the ladies league, we take turns playing at different homes

2:00 am

flosey

can be, but also can be fun - seeing some old friends I wouldn't see otherewise

2:01 am

jillibus

to each her own, flosey

2:01 am

westford

been so long since I played not sure I'd remember how

2:01 am

westford

2:01 am

westford

and get together with friends

2:01 am

jillibus

west, the game has changed a LOT -- more fun now

2:01 am

flosey

Liz asked if I'd consider coming back - we've lost the "old time stick-in-the muds'

2:02 am

westford

only played contract

2:02 am

flosey

much better - the ladies league is contract bridge, west

2:02 am

jillibus

Liz? Come back to AH with her? Is that who you're playing with?

2:03 am

jillibus

I think you mean rubber bridge. All of them are contract now.

2:03 am

westford

put me in as a sub then flosey

2:03 am

flosey

yes, actually, Liz asked if I'd consider coming back to AH and play with her

2:03 am

westford

yes, rubber

2:03 am

flosey

I'd love to west, would be fun

2:03 am

westford

I'll start walking lol

2:03 am

jillibus

That should be a winning combo -- but it does depend on the cards you get to a greater degree than duplicate.

2:04 am

flosey

have dropped out twice now, only last for 1 before I go back

2:04 am

flosey

yes, no cards, no comparison, dumb luck

2:04 am

westford

flosey don't you play on line as well?

2:05 am

flosey

yes I do west, my regeular partner is from NJ - hasn't been on for a while - may have taken a holiday after the storm

2:06 am

flosey

he's retired but wife still working

2:06 am

westford

I hope he didn't have too much damage

2:06 am

jillibus

2:06 am

Scrabs, Watson, our foster dog, is going to be on TV next week. Fox and Friends

8:10 am

Judi

*waves to the masses* Good morning, all.

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bichon, Marco, Polo and foster pup.

8:11 am

bichon

Hi Judi

8:11 am

Scrabbler

When, Bichon?

8:11 am

car.eeyore

Hello Judi!

8:11 am

bichon

Tues 12/11. The show is on from 6-9 AM

8:11 am

car.eeyore

No way, Bichon! Cool!

8:11 am

Scrabbler

Hi Judi

8:12 am

car.eeyore

I have a question...what happens to service dogs when they are no longer needed or their owner passes away?

8:12 am

bichon

I'm really excited. He's been taken to NYC by Limo early in the morning

8:12 am

car.eeyore

I know police dogs often retire with their handlers.

8:12 am

Judi

Ooh. Celebrity do. Can I have Watson's "pawtograph"?

8:13 am

car.eeyore

:)

8:13 am

Scrabbler

I would guess that they become a pet or are transferred to a new person

8:13 am

bichon

They probably go to a rescue organization who places them in a good home

8:13 am

Scrabbler

A limo ride? Wow!

8:13 am

bichon

Watson only does autographs after being given treats

8:13 am

bichon

They're hoping to raise money for his surgery

8:14 am

Scrabbler

What are his preferred treats?

8:14 am

Scrabbler

What surgery?

8:14 am

car.eeyore

when will he be on, Bichon?

8:14 am

hurshy

what's the POINT of a limo for a dog? i doubt the dog finds it more comfortable.

8:14 am

car.eeyore

But its FANCY!!!!!

8:14 am

car.eeyore

Hi hurshy!

8:14 am

hurshy

but a dog has no CONCEPT of fancy!!!!

8:14 am

bichon

His Achilles Tendon is severed. I don't think they're going to be able to reattach it. Might have to amputate the leg

8:14 am

hurshy

hi all :)

8:14 am

car.eeyore

Ouch.

8:14 am

Scrabbler

Hi Hurshy

8:15 am

hurshy

oh poor doggie :(

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Oh, no. Poor Watson.

8:15 am

bichon

Hi hurshy. I don't know why, but he is a star. I made a video of him licking out a bowl and it's a big hit

8:15 am

Scrabbler

Can the leg remain even if nonfunctional?

8:15 am

bichon

Watson has enough spunk and doesn't know he's disable

8:16 am

bichon

Probably not Scrabs. The weight of it might keep him off balance

8:16 am

hurshy

well i don't mind him being a star :) just the limo seems a bit silly

8:16 am

bichon

*disabled

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Where can we see this video?

8:16 am

Judi

I hope his humans get to go with him in the limo. Does seem a bit frivolous otherwise.

8:16 am

bichon

Watson had the limo written into his contract. His agent fought for it

8:17 am

bichon

Yes, there will be a human with him

8:17 am

hurshy

lol

8:17 am

bichon

I send you a link on Facebook crabs

8:17 am

bichon

*Scrabs, sorry

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Watson is going to return home and demand improved living and eating conditions.

8:18 am

bichon

He already has that Scrabs. We've spoiled him terribly

8:18 am

bichon

Later this month he's going to fly to Tulsa where his operation will be done.

8:18 am

Scrabbler

I think pets should be spoiled, within reason, so they have a wonderful life. Stories of animal neglect and abuse sicken me.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

Private jet?

8:19 am

Judi

Ditto, Scrabbs.

8:19 am

bichon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BXpxq0J\nJLtg&feature=g-crec

8:20 am

bichon

If you had seen him when he was first found you'd be horrified.

8:20 am

bichon

That's the link to the YouTube video

8:20 am

bichon

He's very easy to spoil.

8:20 am

bichon

Marco and Polo have their noses out of joint

8:21 am

hurshy

sounds painful.

8:21 am

hurshy

well, i'm having trouble with G's and P's.

8:27 am

bichon

That should work

8:27 am

hurshy

oh he is a cutie! i love scruffy looking dogs

8:28 am

bichon

I wonder what he will look like when his coat finally grows in

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Cute Watson! Was he even skinnier when you got him?

8:29 am

Scrabbler

Academic people, Hurshy? Ivory tower folks?

8:31 am

bichon

If you are really curious about what he looked like when he was first found I can send a link. But, it's awful

8:31 am

Scrabbler

No, no, Bichon.

8:32 am

hurshy

yes scrabbler.

8:32 am

I think we need some lobster tails and caviar for Watson...kept on dry ice... delivered by limo.

8:43 am

Scrabbler

Do dogs like seafood?

8:44 am

Judi

I think dogs like everything. Our dog loves fish. She gets a salmon based food.

8:44 am

crosshair

mm bacon wrapped lobster tails...

8:44 am

bichon

My dogs love salmon

8:47 am

Scrabbler

Hi Bacon Boy!

8:47 am

Judi

Doesn't Crossy wrap everything in bacon. Like, bacon wrapped bacon?

8:48 am

hurshy

my childhood dog liked everything but lettuce.

8:48 am

crosshair

yes,lean pealmeal bacon wrapped in sliced streaky bacon

8:49 am

Judi

I think most dogs draw the line at fruits and veggies.

8:49 am

crosshair

but you cannot laugh too much when you guys invented such a thing as a turdurken

8:50 am

crosshair

i almost fell out of my chair when i read about it the other day

8:51 am

Judi

lol, Crossy. I'm surprised they stopped at turduken. I mean, we could keep going up in size. We could add Emu and Ostrich. Of course, oven size gets to be a problem at that point.

8:51 am

crosshair

start with a ostrich and go right down to a quail

8:51 am

Judi

Truthfully, I would love to try it, but they are expensive as hell.

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Never heard of it til now on Wikipedia.

9:05 am

car.eeyore

9:05 am

car.eeyore

We had chipmunks too, but they wised up to the cat.

9:05 am

crosshair

where they getting in?

9:06 am

car.eeyore

I believe in the barn end of the house where no one goes very much.

9:07 am

car.eeyore

It just isn't Christmas until a flying squirrel runs through my house!

9:07 am

car.eeyore

I just watched "Christmas Vacation" last night too! LOL!

9:07 am

crosshair

crossy loves that movie,the toboggan that goes mach2 and the house lights

9:08 am

car.eeyore

We let it live, so it needs to go spread the word to his friends that we have a cat!

9:08 am

car.eeyore

Honestly, the squirrel scene is my favorite! I can't stop laughing!

9:08 am

car.eeyore

That and the cat in the wrapped box.

9:09 am

crosshair

catch the next one in a net and spray it with cat nip..will keep kitty running and jumping for hours till you let the squirrel back out

9:09 am

car.eeyore

NO!!! Those things climb the walls like nobody's business! I want it out of here ASAP!

9:09 am

crosshair

hehe

9:09 am

car.eeyore

9:10 am

car.eeyore

He is pacing in front of the door.

9:11 am

car.eeyore

OK...I need to try to lower my blood pressure now and get my work done. Never a dull moment!

9:15 am

rubyfoo

he is driving me crazy, obsessing about Christmas cards while I take care of all the things that need repairing, the bank, the tax3es, etc.

9:15 am

car.eeyore

So have him fill out the damn cards.

9:15 am

rubyfoo

trip on the 14th if I don't wind up in jail LOL

9:16 am

rubyfoo

his writing is poor and illegible so I offered to do his envelopes and now he wants me to do them RIGHT AWAY!

9:16 am

crosshair

give him a case of cards,and enthrone him in a room as far away from your part of the house as you can

9:16 am

mael

hilariously enough, my husband is also driving me insane about christmas cards

9:16 am

mael

we apparently need to write them out RIGHT. NOW.

9:16 am

car.eeyore

Hi mael!

9:16 am

rubyfoo

every Christmas I realize I should have made the cards but never think of it until there's snow on the ground

9:16 am

car.eeyore

So what! Have him do them anyway!

9:17 am

rubyfoo

mael, it sounds like we're married to the same guy!

9:17 am

crosshair

crossy thinks the christmas cards can go pound sand till i am ready to do them

9:17 am

car.eeyore

Yup. same here.

9:18 am

rubyfoo

9:18 am

9:18 am

car.eeyore

9:18 am

mael

9:18 am

rubyfoo

9:19 am

car.eeyore

OK...I really need to go. {{more hugs}}

crosshair

9they were snowbirds and left for FLA in Dec)

What browser are you using Champ?

12:28 pm

ChampFit

Firefox

12:28 pm

Oh, I just realized this is a Facebook issue. They make their money off of advertising. No clue how you can get rid of the ads, sorry.

yes champ go to google app and load ad block

12:29 pm

You're right...I'm sure it's FB.

i have 3 browers going atm.ff,google and opera for video streaming

12:32 pm

opera is great for streaming because it uses file compression for its video streaing and realy saves on hitting your month data allowance too hard

12:33 pm

crosshair

it is so so for most other things

12:34 pm

ChampFit

I don't stream. I do a lot on the internet for work, and of course play, as you know. ;) Thanks Molly...will give that a go. Have to run to a meeting. BBL. Thanks to you both!

12:35 pm

and of course i only ever used explorer once,when i finished building this computer and needed to load google lol.explorer has the distinction of being the browser that loads more browsers than any other browser lol

12:53 pm

Chrome is best for flash games, Firefox handles tabs better so is best for general surfing. I didn't however know that about Opera, I'll have to look into it, I always find anything multimedia, especially flash, very sluggish in Opera.

Finally called a few minutes ago and they show the ticket closed and that the technician did fix the problem. Wouldn't it have been nice for someone to TELL ME so I wouldn't have still been waiting for him?!!! Called a supervisor and plan to also send an email....ridiculous. And, ooooh, Liz, sounds delightful to me!

em 8 - person who leaves a country to live somewhere else

6:52 pm

Lizlin

pr 8 / 50 x 2 - pr ** and proper + a flower

6:53 pm

Lizlin

si 7 and 8 - to do with the body

6:54 pm

Lizlin

pr 8 /50 2nd one - pr + p*** + vowel + Mr Gore

6:55 pm

Lizlin

pr 8 /55 - someone who has a mentor

7:02 pm

eieios

I got the em, the first pr, the one who has the mentor (isn't that a 7?), but the second pr and the si's are escaping me.... I am still monkeying.

7:04 pm

Lizlin

si 8 - think freud - similar to his first name but part of the body - add another vowel to make feminine version of the first pr.

7:05 pm

Lizlin

Have you got pr 6 / 24 - the 8 comes from that.

7:05 pm

Kenny Chuck

Can't find the em 8. What am I missing?
