(((ruby))) how are you?
4:08 am
rubyfoo
doing much better. new pup is partly paid for, just awaiting where and when she'll be flying in....
4:11 am
rbud
Ruffi (sp?) can't be too old yet, right? will it be like having two pups, almost?
4:11 am
rubyfoo
Rufie is one (since Dec) and Raffie will be about 9 wks when she arrives. It should be a circus arounds here
4:12 am
rubyfoo
we really need some smiles!
4:13 am
rbud
yes, it should be lots of fun, they'll liven things up playing together!
4:14 am
rubyfoo
and I am hoping Rufie will not be too rough. I think she's fairly tough, has been playing outside (!!) with her brothers
4:14 am
rubyfoo
we've never gotten a puppy younger than 3 months before
4:16 am
rbud
she'll probably whip him into line as soon as she's big enough.
4:16 am
rubyfoo
we'll see.... just smiling, thinking about it
4:18 am
rubyfoo
not close to half but nbt and nbs
4:20 am
rbud
I won't get far, going back to bed. just dropped in for a bit. 97 so far, nbt but no 8's or 9's - not trying too hard, lol
4:20 am
rubyfoo
{{rbus}} I hope you get more sleep
4:21 am
rubyfoo
or even rbud*
4:21 am
rbud
oh, I will, I'm sure. about two pages of my book and I'll be out like a light. :)
4:22 am
rubyfoo
nothing like a dull book!
4:24 am
rbud
haha, got the in 8 and 9, how appropriate! so, with nbs, I think I'll go off to bed. will be looking forward to new puppy stories.
4:25 am

hopefully, puppy stories very soon!

Hi ruby, guess I just caught you on the way out
4:34 am
rubyfoo
out to lunch, as usual
4:34 am
rubyfoo
every day, a little bit of the snow melts. It's been a horrible winter
4:34 am
ChrissieDee
Cold but no snow. Actually had sunshine yesterday
4:35 am
rubyfoo
we get a little bit of sunshine in the afternoons, but it's wan and doesn't get above 40F for more than an hour
4:36 am

Bye ruby, enjoy lunch

bonjour, une. Yes, Ruby's death was devastating so I called my "chow friend" in Italy, and Rafaella is coming to us from Barcelona next week
5:54 am

5:54 am
Uneaixoise
I'm so happy for you and Rafaella!!
5:55 am
Lizlin
Do you know arrival details yet - it's so exciting!
5:55 am
rubyfoo
she looks exactly like my very first chow, Rosie
5:55 am
rubyfoo
No, we're on pins and needles, not knowing which day or even which airport
5:55 am
Uneaixoise
can't wait for pics :-)
5:56 am
rubyfoo
I'll send you the tiny pic I have but Haven't received any others
5:56 am
rubyfoo
I wish I knew how to put it in my profile.....it came in an e-mail
5:56 am
ivesy3
ruby , have all your dogs names started with r? i just love their names
5:57 am
rubyfoo
she is still very pale but with a black face and VERY study legs. The owner says she wags her tail all the time
5:57 am
Uneaixoise
how precious!
5:57 am
Lizlin
That's so cute!
5:58 am
Lizlin
Will her colouring darken - I don't know much about chows!
5:58 am
rubyfoo
Rosie, Rufue, Cleo (the black queen of Veyrier), Ruby, Max (another black one), Ruffino (Rufie) and now Raffie. What's funny is they characterize them as red, but not one of them has been red
5:59 am
rubyfoo
they start out pale and, except for the black ones, wind up shaded blonde with tiny bits of red and not all of them
5:59 am
rubyfoo
Rufie is blondish with a very white tail and bands of other shades of blonde and brown
6:00 am
Lizlin
Just googled some chow images - pretty dogs :)
6:00 am
rubyfoo
they also have totally different kinds of fure: some are silky and curly, others silky and straight and Rufie is sort of bristlely
6:00 am
rubyfoo
<-- can't type today
6:01 am
Lizlin
Do they all have similar personalities - i.e. loving or excitable etc?
6:02 am
rubyfoo
they are lovely dogs, very independent. Rosie was playful but protective, Rufus was a reserved gentleman, Cleo was a dream, Max was autistic, Rufie is a bumper but timid with stranger, Ruby owned my heart but was only affectionate with me
6:02 am
rubyfoo
and they have all been good watch dogs, even Max
6:03 am
Lizlin
I think that's great - every one different!
6:03 am
Uneaixoise
must leave you ladies for now, but great seeing you and hearing happy news! Byeee *poof*
6:03 am
rubyfoo
but you have to be willing to have a breed which doesn't necessarily conform to "tricks" or commands. They are well-behaved, but can't be forced
6:04 am
Lizlin
Have a good day une :)
6:04 am
Anniebrook
((ruby)) how exciting. You should be getting Raffie soon.
6:04 am
Lizlin
Not a problem - I guess they treat you as you treat them!
6:04 am
rubyfoo
{{annie}}
6:04 am
Lizlin
Hi Annie :)
6:05 am
rubyfoo
we are waiting to leqarn which day next week
6:05 am
rubyfoo
yes, and they are very gentle
6:05 am
Lizlin
That's so important :)
6:07 am
rubyfoo
it took 2 adults to carry Ruby down to the garden for her burial; they weight about 75 lbs but I think Rufie will be bigger
6:07 am
Lizlin
Wow! Bigger than I thought!
6:08 am
rubyfoo
and their heavy fur makes them look even larger
6:08 am
Lizlin
Do they moult a lot in the summer - I'd've thought they'd be very hot!
6:09 am
rubyfoo
I spend a lot of time combing them, but they find shady places and it's not that hot here
6:09 am
rubyfoo
they shed all year, so dog fur is a way of life in the Hunter household!
6:09 am
Lizlin
Bet that's relaxing for them and you!
6:10 am
rubyfoo
I used to spend mor than an hour a night grooming and massaging Ruby, good for both of us
6:10 am
Lizlin
Are chows prone to arthritis?
6:11 am
smores
Good morning/evening all :)
6:11 am
Lizlin
Hi smores :)
6:11 am
Anniebrook
morning, smores
6:11 am
rubyfoo
Rufus had it his last year and ultimately had to be put down because he couldn't walk. With Ruby, it was her heart and I think the deep massages may have forestalled (or even prevented) arthritis
6:11 am
smores
{group hug} :)
6:12 am

{{smores}}
6:12 am
rubyfoo
as usualy, I'm dog-dominating the chog :(
6:12 am
smores
:) quite alright ruby
6:12 am
rubyfoo
I'll stop; you all must be sick of hearing about dogs dogs dogs
6:12 am
smores
It's a chow chog...tehe
6:12 am
Lizlin
Love dogs - would love to have one but our life style just wouldn't be fair on a pet of any type right now.
6:13 am
Lizlin
Love chatting Ruby
6:13 am
smores
not at all ruby
6:13 am
rubyfoo
as we're retired and have a good-sized, totally-enclosed garden, dogs are perfect. When we lived in Miami and I was still working, I used to bring the dog the the office
6:14 am
smores
Did you have chows then as well?
6:14 am
Lizlin
I grew up with a dog but haven't had one as an adult - there are loads of dog beaches here.
6:14 am
rubyfoo
I think I will need a video camera for the two puppies when Raffie comes
6:14 am
rubyfoo
yes, I've had chows since 1990, never had any other breed
6:15 am
smores
Lol...yes, their meeting should be fun :)
6:15 am
rubyfoo
do the dogs go in the ocean?
6:15 am
Lizlin
Some do, some don't. Some owners try to encourage the dogs to go in - some oblige, some don't!
6:15 am
rubyfoo
I guess it gets rid of fleas
6:16 am
rubyfoo
I don't think chows can swim, too much fur and undercoat
6:16 am
Lizlin
We've talked to some lovely dogs and their owners on the beach.
6:16 am
smores
My wolf hybrid loved to swim
6:16 am
Lizlin
I think tics are more of a problem here - some are fatal to the dogs.
6:16 am
rubyfoo
I love the idea of letting dogs run on the beach
6:17 am
rubyfoo
in season, I check the dogs for ticks every day
6:17 am
Lizlin
One of our favourite walking beaches is a dog beach! it's also our closest beach!
6:17 am
rubyfoo
they're disgusting, but I've learned to grit my teeth and remove them
6:17 am
smores
ugh...ticks are terrible
6:17 am
rubyfoo
do you have any photos of the beach?
6:18 am
lynxxx
There are some very cute Utube clips of chows swimming. Hello everyone
6:18 am
Lizlin
Some I guess, but not with dogs!
6:18 am
smores
BRB...gotta get some coffee
6:18 am
rubyfoo
my friend's boxer got a tick and they didn't remove it in time and she was left with arthritis from it
6:18 am
rubyfoo
{{lynxx}}
6:18 am
rubyfoo
I'll have to look for those videos
6:19 am
Lizlin
I tend to photograph the wild surf in storms - it's more interesting!
6:20 am
rubyfoo
are you any good?
6:20 am
Lizlin
Photography - yes but I only use a point and shoot but I can usually frame a shot pretty well.
6:21 am
Lizlin
Hubby uses an SLR and has great fun processing and playing with his shots. A hobby I introduced him to! He "plays" photos on his computer while I babble!
6:22 am
rubyfoo
I have a good camara but only "point and shoot", can't get involved with anything more
6:22 am
rubyfoo
my photo file is in dire need of editing, but I am too lazy and preoccupied to invest the needed time
6:23 am
Lizlin
I don't want a more complex camera - I like mine. It fits in my pocket! it also takes good shots!
6:24 am
rubyfoo
lizlin if you write to me (e-mail's in the profile), I can send you some photos
6:25 am
rubyfoo
and now, off for a haircut
6:25 am
rubyfoo
{{group hug}}
6:25 am
Lizlin
Doing that now. Enjoy your day. I'll send you some surf and beach pics!

I am wondering if any one here is Jewish? I am going to a synagogue tonight and I have some questions.
7:12 am
Anniebrook
car., I a Jewish, what do you want to know?
7:14 am
car.eeyore
I guess it is a pretty progressive group, but I want to make sure I am dressed appropriately. I have friends who have stopped by after temple and they were in linens of certain colors and such. I don't this this synagogue has those restrictions, but I want to make sure I am not offending anyone.
7:15 am
Anniebrook
car. You can wear whatever you want that is respectful. No bikinis. LOL. You can wear whatever color you want.
7:16 am
car.eeyore
I was going to wear black pants and a light lavender top. should that be OK? Also, any other protocol issues I need to know BEFORE entering the synagogue?
7:17 am
mkg
car, best not to go in pants or jeans. best to have a sleeve of some kind. no color code.
7:17 am
Anniebrook
car. That is fine.
7:17 am
mkg
i would say if you have a skirt it is better. people do dress up to go.
7:17 am
mkg
no other protocol
7:17 am
Anniebrook
If it is a Reform service, why cant car. wear pants?
7:17 am
JBV
good morning, ladies -
7:17 am
car.eeyore
I don't know that I do...but I will check.
7:17 am

Hello jbv!
7:18 am
car.eeyore
thank you both very much for your input.
7:18 am
JBV
hi car - I think you're doing the very best thing - ask a lot of questions in advance :)
7:18 am
Kaplan the Magne
That's fine. Some places will give you a light hair covering. Orthodox places don't do pabnts for women, otherwise nice pants are fine. It kind of depends more on the community style than the religion. Where I live people dress down. In suburbs they dress up more.
7:18 am
mkg
if not, pants are ok. but just know people do dress up. no jeans or sloppy stuff. no jogging clothes.
7:18 am
lbdawger
hi jbv and mkg. 94 remaining, must get ready for work.
7:18 am
mkg
yes she can wear pants. if reform you are right.
7:19 am
Anniebrook
Pants are fine. I am sure it is a Reform synagogue.
7:19 am
bichon
I am Jewish
7:19 am
Anniebrook
mkg, How is your grandson?
7:19 am
mkg
gee there are a lot of us jewish guys on the grid.
7:19 am

But, I don't go to synagogue
7:19 am

We're everywhere
7:19 am
JBV
I had to attend a Muslim funeral once - they were very clear about head coverings, long sleeves, etc. so I decided to dress up and wore a dress (which I never ever do) and was chagrined to find out that legs are supposed to covered, too - all the women were wearing pants or long dresses(not sure what they're called)
7:20 am
Anniebrook
Then pants are fine.
7:20 am

he suppposedly fell to his death on a movie set in new zealand
7:55 am
pabtrek
Tony Danza has not fallen to his death off a cliff in New Zealand, contrary to rumours spreading on the internet.
Twitter lit up today with rumours of the 1980s TV star's death, which are fake.
The rumour was sparked by an article 'Tony Danza Dies In Car Crash' on a fake news site calling itself 'Global Associated News'.
The website fakeawish.com generates fake news reports about celebrity deaths, and Danza is not the first to allegedly fall from a cliff in New Zealand. Jeff Goldblum, Tom Cruise, George Clooney, house music producer David Guetta and Will Smith have all allegedly 'fallen off a cliff in New Zealand' at some point.

I even have two kids, and I don't remember that. But when my kids were small it was all about Elmo. Bert & Ernie kinda were put on the backburner. A SS tape makes more sense.

I LOVE it when someone calls the police dept. (where I work) and gets mad at ME because their husband/brother/son got locked up the night before and I don't have any information to give them.
9:43 am
Scrabbler
Hello all. Oh, Judi, how dare you maintain confidentiality?
9:46 am
Judi
I would have given her the information about her scuzz ball husband, but he was no longer in custody and none of the officers were here either. She was a bee-yatch. I told her he husband would probably call her when he sobered up enough to be arraigned.
9:46 am
Scrabbler
People have no shame anymore.
9:47 am
Judi
Eh. Happens all the time. My skin is thick enough that that stuff just slides right off.
9:48 am
Scrabbler
Not you, I mean aren't people ashamed/embarrassed to talk to you about their law-breaking family members?
9:49 am
Judi
Oh, no! The Police get blamed for everything. The cops are all racists now and just like to harass people.
9:49 am
Judi
God forbid anyone should take personal responsibility for their own stupidity and/or crimes.

1:42 pm

milass works for me :D

Although Canadian bacon, at least in America, looks exactly like ham. Tastes the same, too
1:57 pm
cybernan

1:57 pm

Nan was right. What Americans refer to as "Canadian bacon" is back bacon. Just a different cut of the pig, but not ham.

7:33 pm
herinfernallady
That would be the walking you did Rose:P
7:33 pm
lilliann
he'd lost weight but was still bright and eating loads as normal but drinking more, it started after we came home with the bairn from the hospital, and when we took her away on holiday he looked like he had lost more but we were told he was eating loads as normal, it ended up being his intestines and his kidneys were hard and he' was in a very serious condition and even with test and maybe treatment he wouldn't pull through
7:34 pm
lilliann
hi mere :)
7:34 pm
herinfernallady

8:03 pm
uusue2
it was fun dressing up, except for the shoes
8:04 pm
uusue2
I agree, lynxxx! you can see some of the tiredness around his eyes, but maybe I notice it more because I know him so well
8:05 pm
lilliann
i agree with lyn, even if he is tired, that is a nice picture to frame sue
8:05 pm
lynxxx
I can see that too but the fact that he is up to getting all dolled up with you and feels like socializing is huge progress
8:06 pm
uusue2
it is indeed, lynxxx, and we had a great time! They had a gluten free dinner for him too, which was nice
8:07 pm
lynxxx
so he will need to avoid gluten from now on?
8:08 pm
uusue2
he always did have to, lynxxx, he has celiac disease
8:08 pm
lynxxx
that is so common nowadays - like so many other things
8:09 pm
uusue2
he didn't realize he had it until he was in his mid-50s, spent most of his life being sick without knowing why
8:11 pm

10:29 pm
Lizlin
Sleep well smores :)
10:29 pm
lilliann
that's the problem here and why people fall out because we have different words and saying even though we all speak english
10:29 pm
Lizlin
Very true :)
10:30 pm
Lizlin
Phew! Down to 20!
10:30 pm

10:31 pm
lilliann
i must admit liz it will always be a bucks fizz to me too
10:31 pm
lilliann
but i don't like champagne so...
10:31 pm
smores
Agree Molly :)
10:31 pm
Lizlin
Just have to be careful to avoid spoonerisms!
10:31 pm
lilliann
yay liz...17 here
10:32 pm
Lizlin
True Molly! But I only like expensive champagne - not that I've had that very often!
10:33 pm
smores
I think I'll ask for a bucks fizz next time I am out for brunch :)
10:34 pm
MollyL
Ask for bangers and mash too Smores. Your wait staff will be talking about you for weeks.
10:34 pm
Lizlin
Try it! Just be careful to avoid spoonerisms!
10:34 pm
Lizlin
Oops - sa4 that before!
10:34 pm
lilliann
bangers and mash and bucks fizz...well what more could you ask for?? :)
10:34 pm
smores
what the heck is spoonerisms Liz?
10:35 pm
smores
No telling what they'd bring me though :)
10:35 pm
lilliann
everyone in beverly hills will want it :)
10:35 pm
Lizlin
reversal of letters or consonants! After the Rev. Spooner. So a bucks fizz would be a *ucks buzz!
10:36 pm
MollyL
No telling Smores, but you might get a few of the male wait staff asking for your number. : D
10:36 pm
Lizlin
Auto correct to spoil the effect of that!! *cks bizz
10:36 pm
lilliann
we could sell cheap plonk and cook bangers and mash on the pavement/sidewalk and make a fortune :) or maybe not
10:36 pm
smores
LOL Liz...
10:37 pm
smores
hmmm....maybe I should :)
10:37 pm
Lizlin
If you google spoonerisms, you'll probably find some good ones!
10:38 pm
lilliann
i've never heard of a spoonerism and the ucks buzz?
10:39 pm
lilliann
ucks buzz sounds naughty!
10:39 pm
MollyL
It's a lot naughtier the way it's "supposed" to be.
10:39 pm
Lizlin
"Three cheers for our queer old dean!" (dear old queen, referring to Queen Victoria)
"Is it kisstomary to cuss the bride?" (customary to kiss)
"The Lord is a shoving leopard." (a loving shepherd)

Lizlin
Copied from Wikipedia
10:40 pm
Lizlin
But people get more upset at use of f***!
10:40 pm
lilliann
i'v e never heard of any of these liz. i know apples and pears, is that the same thing?
10:41 pm
Lizlin
That's cockney rhyming slang
10:41 pm
lilliann
dog and bone
10:41 pm
MollyL
We love our dirty cockney girl : D
10:41 pm
lilliann
i've never heard of those
10:41 pm
Lizlin
William Archibald Spooner (22 July 1844 – 29 August 1930) was a famous Oxford don whose name is given to the linguistic phenomenon of spoonerisms
10:41 pm
Lizlin
Again wickipedia
10:42 pm
smores
:D thanks liz...needed a laugh before bed
10:42 pm
lilliann
well, i forget how to speak normally and that gets me into trouble so i won't remember spoonerisms :)
10:42 pm
Lizlin
It used to be fun getting kids to make up spoonerisms - before the days of the national curriculum!!! Sigh!
10:43 pm
smores
Well, I am really going this time....night all :)
10:44 pm
Lizlin
Night smores :)
10:44 pm
lilliann
i want to learn spoonerisms and then i can teach my daughter to say it and then the bairns won't swear at school anymore....wishful thinking!!
10:45 pm
Lizlin
lol and good luck!!!
10:45 pm
lilliann
night smores, great speaking to you as normal.take care hin :)
10:46 pm
lilliann
don't i know it liz! :)
10:46 pm
lilliann
were you callihng me a cockney molly?
10:46 pm
lilliann
*calling
10:46 pm
Lizlin
I def am by the definition of being born within the sound of Bow Bells!
10:47 pm
Lizlin
:) And proud of it!
10:47 pm
lilliann
oh ok :0 i was going to say i was a southerner once
10:48 pm
Lizlin
You wouldn't know it to hear me speak though! North London or accentless as I was once described!
10:48 pm
lilliann
really.i thought you had to be atleast 100 and over now to be a proper cockney as in the peel of the bow bells?
10:49 pm
Lizlin
OK - so perhaps they weren't peeling when I was born!
10:49 pm
MollyL
Liz has found the fountain of youth.
10:49 pm
lilliann
because the bells haven't rung for about 60 years now atleast :0
10:49 pm
lilliann
lol liz
10:49 pm
Lizlin
Oh well - not that old til later in the year!
10:49 pm
lilliann
well, they might have been peeling :)
10:50 pm
Lizlin
As long as it's not me peeling!
10:50 pm
lilliann
so we would be like the jets and sharks liz as i was from the south of london
10:51 pm
Lizlin
Ooooh! A fight!
10:52 pm
lilliann
oh no not another one tonight! i've already upset one person :(
10:53 pm
Lizlin
You didn't say anything to upset deliberately! People have to understand that words don't always reflect the way things are said!
10:53 pm
Lizlin
Have you got a clue for ta 6 please?
10:54 pm
lilliann
yes thanks :)
10:54 pm
Lizlin
nm! so obvious!
10:54 pm
lilliann
a colourful person
10:55 pm
Lizlin
Missing the sun so didn't see that word :)
10:55 pm
lilliann
it wasn't to me at the time!lol
10:55 pm
lilliann
me too, after mexico and coming back to the snow
10:55 pm
MollyL
Pish Lilliann. People here are so ultra sensitive. It's ridiculous.
10:55 pm
lilliann
i didn't mean to upset anyone.i'm not that sort of person
10:56 pm
Lizlin
Me neither but I also did the same thing once!
10:56 pm
lilliann
i upset people by my icon :)
10:57 pm
lilliann
oh really liz?
10:57 pm
Lizlin
But it's funny :)
10:57 pm
lilliann
you're right molly.we can't do right for wrong
10:58 pm
Lizlin
Apparently I gave a clue that was too obvious!
10:58 pm
lilliann
well i thought so, it shows my sense of humour and who i am but some people on here took offence
10:59 pm
Lizlin
We are who we are and you can choose to chat or not. We should just ignore what we don't like, after all it's a game and a friendly place to be. Well that's what I think.
10:59 pm
lilliann
yes if you spell it out then you can get bitched about but then if you don't not all people get it, so either way, you are going to lose here :)
11:00 pm
Lizlin
Sometimes it's difficult to know what people want and I know that sometimes people give clues when stats are asked for and vice versa. Some people want cryptic, others don't!
11:01 pm
lilliann
that's exactly what i say liz. i am who i am and i can't and won't change myself.over the years i've had enough of people walking all over me and i now stand up for myself
11:01 pm
Lizlin
Good for you!
11:02 pm
lilliann
it's true, about the clues, some like cryptic and others need more help but what do you do when you ahve both on?
11:02 pm
lilliann
you're going to upset one or the other
11:03 pm
Lizlin
Sigh! Hope that people understand each other's needs. You can see fairly quickly if a clue is given and not stats, so don't read it!
11:03 pm

it's the north and my family genes as they are from up here has changed me plus lot of what i've been throught hte last 15 years.i've toughened up but i'm still aware of other peoples feelings and don't like to upset people
11:04 pm
lilliann
yes rose
11:04 pm
Lizlin
I don't think many people like to hurt feelings
11:04 pm
grannyrose
generally, i find that if i guve a clue as in the meaning of the word, and someone says ' i don't get' i then move onto a more understandable clue.
11:05 pm
Lizlin
I think that's good practice - and good advice :)
11:05 pm
grannyrose
then i know some people only like stats, and others prefer a more detailed clue.
11:05 pm
lilliann
good advice rose
11:05 pm
Lizlin
Sadly, it still doesn't stop some people becoming upset
11:06 pm
lilliann
i also think, you get to know certain people on here and what sort of clues they want
11:06 pm
grannyrose
tue liz, but as was commented, you cannot please all the peeps all the time.
11:06 pm
MollyL
Some people live for drama. You just have to work around it or ignore it.
11:06 pm
lilliann
you're right liz
11:07 pm
Lizlin
I've said it before - but I really like this site and generally like the people who chat
11:07 pm
lilliann
at the end of the day, we are who we are and if people like us then ok but if they don't then as my bairn says 'whatever'
11:08 pm
Lizlin
Such a wonderful word - drives my hubby mad when i use it. Whatever!

As a friend of mi4 says, if someone chooses to get their knickers in a knot, it's best not to try and untie them.
: D
11:09 pm
lilliann
me too liz. i've made some good friends on here and having the life i have that means alot to me, but at the same time i'm now not going to bow down to people and feel guilty for what i have said! i have enough going on in my life without having to please other people
11:09 pm
Lizlin

Lizlin
Your clue was good - def sent me in the right direction!
11:20 pm
Lizlin
I forget loads to but I've been babbling now since the end of last August and some are beginning to stick!
11:21 pm
lilliann

11:22 pm
Lizlin
That's what dictionaries are for - or that's what I used to tell the kids
11:22 pm
lilliann

11:23 pm
lilliann

11:23 pm
lilliann

Lizlin
Well I know I like you
11:24 pm
lilliann
yes, you're right...who are you?? lol
11:24 pm
lilliann
sorry hin :)
11:25 pm
Lizlin
I often don't remember things I'm told and then I don't comment on things because I might say something which is to do with someone else - by mistake. Know what I mean?
11:25 pm
Lizlin
That's the sort of thing I'd say - lol
11:25 pm
lilliann
my sense of humour probably winds people up
11:26 pm
Lizlin
Then those people can choose to ignore it!
11:26 pm
Lizlin
Profound statement of the day: - life is about choice!
11:26 pm
lilliann
aye i do, but i also forget when someone phones and says something and hubby says who is that a minute later and i can't remember, but that's to do with all my dissabilities
11:27 pm
Lizlin
As you said, we take people as we find them - or not!
11:27 pm
lilliann
i like that statement liz :)
11:27 pm
MollyL
It must be a very dry life not to be able to laugh at oneself.
11:28 pm
Lizlin
It must be hard not to have a sense of humour of any kind
11:29 pm
Lizlin
But perhaps if you don't have one you don't miss it - but you certainly must miss out on a lot of stuff.
11:29 pm
flosey
FW, last word in6/21
11:29 pm
Lizlin
Congrats flosey :)
11:29 pm
flosey
how does a person get through life without a sense of humour
11:29 pm
flosey
thanks Liz
11:30 pm
Lizlin
Can't imagine it.
11:30 pm
MollyL
Not having a sense of humor is a disorder. It's called "flat affect"
11:30 pm
lilliann
i can take the mick out of myself and am happy for others too.i might not always like what they are saying but i will take it with a pinch of salt
11:30 pm

MollyL
Yes Liz, but I know what your Cockney mind was thinking : D
11:33 pm
Lizlin
Of course! Mix cockney with Aussie and then you're really talking!
11:34 pm
lilliann

11:34 pm
rururocks

11:34 pm
MollyL
Oh my God, I never thought of that lethal combination.
11:35 pm
Lizlin
lethal indeed
11:35 pm
MollyL
*Bows to Liz* I am not worthy.
11:36 pm
maggiej

lilliann

11:41 pm
lilliann

11:41 pm
Bugsaw
I don't think so ruru. Some days he is easily slighted.
11:43 pm
Bugsaw
hope your days is better tomorrow lilliann
11:43 pm
rururocks
too bad..
11:43 pm
rururocks
I hope so too lillian
11:43 pm
lilliann
but i must admit, i don't know what i said that was so bad?
11:43 pm
rururocks
apparently not much
11:43 pm
lilliann
thank you both :)
11:44 pm
lilliann
i didn't mean anything nasty.it's obviously my sense of humour and englishmn
11:45 pm
rururocks
it's off the board now.. let it go..
11:46 pm
lilliann
i will here but i'll still stew over it.
11:46 pm
lilliann
i have 8 left and need to finish
11:47 pm
MollyL
Totally not worth stewing over Lilliann
11:47 pm
Bugsaw
don't stew lilliann. BR is a war vet. some days are better than others. He does give great clues tho
11:48 pm
lilliann
i just don't like falling out with people molly
11:48 pm
rururocks
trust me lillian.. it's no big deal
11:48 pm
Bugsaw
nothing is permanent.
11:49 pm
lilliann
he does give great clues, that's what i was saying.i don't get them but i wish that sometimes i could clue like that...that's what i meant
11:49 pm
MollyL
You meant no harm and offense was taken. Happens here all the time.
11:49 pm
lilliann
to some people it is bugs
11:51 pm
lilliann
i know molly but i then get hurt that i've offended someone. even though i'm tough i also feel for others and hate hurting people, probably the gemini in me :)
11:51 pm
Bugsaw
BR has forgiven me when I made the same kind of slip once. Don't worry. Just send him some peace
11:51 pm
lilliann
can i have aclue for the na5 please so i can finish
11:52 pm
MollyL
All you are responsible for is your intention. Other people are responsible for how they react.
11:52 pm
Bugsaw
a person who is not kind is na***
11:53 pm
Bugsaw
good night all. finally done
11:53 pm
rururocks
*lights several incense stations around Bugs house*
11:55 pm
grannyrose
oh, lord, lilliann. just read back. you are at the back of a very long line of peeps who have offended BR. i'm one of them. lol
11:57 pm
grannyrose
i just apologise and move on. for goodness sake, i let my mouth and mind go all the time. ask molly!!
11:57 pm
torgone
Some people are just cranky ..
11:58 pm
o-o
I did not say I was offended. You all don't care for me. Fine with me. Cowards talk about people and not to them. No need for apology. I laugh at you.
11:58 pm
lilliann
ty bugs, i still needed another 5 words and have fireworks!! :)
11:59 pm
lilliann
i am apologising if i have offended you Br, as i didn't mean too.i don't want to fall out
11:59 pm
o-o
I was not offended.
