Hi ruby - few people here - no lickety again :)
2:43 am

Smile at you, not at no lickety
2:43 am

There's a list in hurshy's profile
2:43 am
rubyfoo
hi, I just tried to answer your mail but the computer quit someplace in the middle of my (I think) typo-rixdern mess of a ltter.
2:44 am
rubyfoo
the pix were beautiful, thank you
2:44 am
Lizlin
No problems! Computers are great until they don't work!
2:44 am
rubyfoo
'm going a little bit crazy, not having heard from Spain since she received the money. Since I am relying on friends to take me to pick up Raffie, I need a little notice
2:45 am
Lizlin
yw - frustrated that I can't find a really nice beach picture. I guess
2:45 am
Lizlin
YIkes! I hope you know the people you sent the money to.
2:45 am
rubyfoo
a beach is a beach is a beach....hahah
2:46 am
Lizlin
Beaches here are a mess at the moment. We've had so much rain and so many high tides since the end of January. Loads of erosion.
2:46 am
rubyfoo
do you find great shells?
2:47 am
rubyfoo
and bottles with messages?
2:47 am
Lizlin
Yes, there's a special beach we go to when we collect shells, though sometimes find them elsewhere too. Didn't realise until this year how seasonal shells are!
2:47 am
Lizlin
No bottles :(
2:48 am
rubyfoo
after storms in Miami, there were sometimes wonderful shells which I collected for years
2:48 am
Lizlin
Have to be careful collecting shells - some of the inhabitants are deadly! We pick them up very carefully and only take empty ones!
2:48 am
rubyfoo
that is funny and nice about the Israeli community. Are they orthodox or reasonable?
2:48 am
Lizlin
If only the rain would stop ...
2:49 am
rubyfoo
there are virtually no jews in this agglomeration of about 125,000 people - no synagogue and we can't even be buried in the local cemetery
2:50 am
Lizlin
Not orthodox at all though there is a Chabad community there too but they're not over the top. I think that there's a lot of farmland around there and the Israelis from kibbutzim found it similar in climate.
2:51 am
Lizlin
It was weird the first time we went to that restaurant - heard so much Ivrit being spoken - felt like being in Israel.
2:51 am
Lizlin
Modern Hebrew
2:51 am

MollyL
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.
6:05 am
Lizlin
Shhhh! Be very quiet! Don't want to disturb people thinking :)
6:05 am
MollyL
Oh, I thought they were all sleeping it off.
6:06 am
Lizlin
Quiet night here - just watched episode 3 of David Attenborough's Africa - he's amazing.
6:06 am
rubyfoo
making mouse souns, wueek!
6:06 am
Lizlin
Don't set all the cats off, Ruby :)
6:07 am
MollyL
Liz, you party girl you.
6:07 am
rubyfoo
we have a local cat who hangs out on the tree above the feeder, waiting to pick off our \"tamed" birds
6:07 am
Lizlin
You saw through my excuse.
6:07 am
rubyfoo
hello molly
6:08 am
Lizlin
I hope he's a hopeless hunter!
6:08 am
MollyL
I am a bird lover, ergo, not fond of cats who kill them.
6:08 am
rubyfoo
more of our dead birds kills themselves by hitting the windows
6:09 am
Lizlin
We've lost a couple that way. The only thing you can say is "bird brains!"
6:09 am
rubyfoo
husband feeds them at least 3X/day
6:09 am
Lizlin
So do we. i still find the range of birds here so exotic!
6:10 am
rubyfoo
ours are little and defintely not exotic, but at least, different from the ones I "listed" in the US
6:11 am
Lizlin
We've counted around 35 different species that visit our garden or we've seen above our house! I don't think the local sea eagles will come to our feeder!
6:12 am
Lizlin
Sulphur crested cockatoos are the largest birds we actually feed.
6:12 am
rubyfoo
it is great fun seeing new birds here, but the best one was the (large ) hawk who came into the house
6:12 am
MollyL
I think they dine on sea critters.
6:12 am
rubyfoo
molly knows about my hawk
6:13 am
Lizlin
How did it get out?
6:13 am
MollyL
I still think that was a spirit guide visiting you.
6:13 am
Lizlin
Cool thought!
6:14 am
rubyfoo
I hope so as I need "spirit guides" to get me through
6:14 am
rubyfoo
I caried him out, he weighed about 5 lb
6:14 am
rubyfoo
he was beautiful
6:14 am
Lizlin
I'm surprised he let you!
6:15 am
rubyfoo
I was very calm and I think he knew that
6:16 am
MollyL
I watched some red-tail hawks hatch last spring via web cam. It was amazing.
6:16 am
Lizlin
We had a pied cormorant pretty much come knocking at our front door, asking to be taken to the vet. We did this - vet thought he'd probably been hit by a passing car or van but he was only bruised and later released.
6:16 am
rubyfoo
how big was he?
6:17 am
rubyfoo
we used to see cormorants in the Everglades, hanging out in the trees, drying their wings
6:17 am
Lizlin
Wing span of about a metre - probably about 40 cm tall (18 inches perhaps)
6:17 am
rubyfoo
bigger than "my" hawk
6:18 am
MollyL
Oh I see, it's a "mine is bigger" contest. I thought only guys had those. : P
6:18 am
Lizlin
Big beak! Hubby threw a towel over him, to calm him and we put him in a plastic storage box to take him to the vet. He was obviously injured and very upset.
6:19 am
Lizlin
Girls only do in girly company!
6:19 am
rubyfoo
no no, molly, hers was definaitely bigger than mine - <--'t have a size problem
6:19 am
Glantarell
oh, if we're having a 'mine is bigger' contest, my bid is the heron which was wrapped up in a farm fence :-)
6:19 am
Glantarell
afternoon all, back for the last 10
6:19 am
rubyfoo
glanta wins!
6:19 am
Lizlin
Was it OK? And btw, how are you today?
6:20 am
rubyfoo
<-- hasn't even reached half
6:20 am
Glantarell
it was fine - I used to work for the RSPCA and observed a number of bird rescues and bird washings to remive oil
6:20 am
rubyfoo
<-- loves birds
6:20 am
Glantarell
i am much better today, the hen's egg is now a robin egg, and I look forward (sort of) to losing two teeth Mondya
6:20 am
MollyL
*Waits for someone to chime in with an 80 pound penguin*
6:20 am
rubyfoo
I "passive bird watch"
6:21 am
rubyfoo
that would be BR!
6:21 am
Glantarell
LOL Molly
6:21 am
Lizlin
44 left here - just highlighting what I've got on the list that hurshy provided, so I know what to look for. Boring job - perhaps lickety will list later on or tomorrow.
6:21 am
Lizlin
Waiting for you to do that, Molly!
6:21 am
Glantarell
all my last 10 are RA
6:21 am
rubyfoo
my hawk was beautiful (grey and white) and was very calm in my hands
6:22 am
Lizlin
You were very lucky :)
6:22 am
MollyL
Ha! The biggest birds I see are crows, and they are too vain to pick at bird seed.
6:22 am
Lizlin
I've actually got the ra words!
6:22 am
rubyfoo
pensuins are life dwarfs (and I only avoid being one by 2 inches!)
6:23 am
rubyfoo
I never thought about safety, but he pooped all over the lving room
6:23 am
rubyfoo
that was supposed to be |" penguins are like drawfs")
6:23 am
rubyfoo
dwarfs -- grappa is taking its toll
6:24 am
Lizlin
The funniest thing here is watching the ravens feed their "adopted" cuckoo youngster! It's a channel billed cuckoo - it cries like a baby and is much bigger than its parents. It'll only be here for another week or two before it migrates to Papua New Guinea!
6:24 am
MollyL
Ruby, they were talking about grappa on a show I watch. I thought about you.
6:24 am
Glantarell
Nw there's a place for bird watchers, perhaps only rivalled by costa rica
6:25 am
rubyfoo
we have a resident cuckoo, but I'VEonly see her onceI
6:26 am
rubyfoo
uh oh, Ruby and i have a bad rep....
6:26 am
rubyfoo
mostly I hear her at night in Spring
6:28 am
Glantarell
*fireflies*
6:28 am
Lizlin
Something to look forward to, then Ruby - hopefully spring is around the corner for you.
6:28 am

and now it is time for crossy's quote of the day!!
11:10 am
crosshair
“If you take a book with you on a journey," Mo had said when he put the first one in her box, "an odd thing happens: The book begins collecting your memories. And forever after you have only to open that book to be back where you first read it. It will all come into your mind with the very first words: the sights you saw in that place, what it smelled like, the ice cream you ate while you were reading it... yes, books are like flypaper—memories cling to the printed page better than anything else.â€
― Cornelia Funke, Inkheart
11:13 am
MollyL
It's frustrating when this word list allows words like fo6 and then gives no definition. Words that, had I used them in an English paper, I KNOW would have a big RED CIRCLE around them.
11:16 am
tabbycat
Can I have a hint for that one, Molly? If it's that weird, I know I'll never find it on my own :-)

when I lived in NY, I used to listen to baseball on the radio. How weird is that?

No weird at all Ruby. Lots of people listen to baseball on the radio.

11:54 am

hopefully, the snow will be gone by then
12:22 pm
Aloyisius
male or female, ruby?
12:22 pm
rubyfoo
she is a lone female in a litter of boys. I would be afraid to have two males at the same time as Rufie is such an alpha
12:23 pm
rubyfoo
they are saying she's red, but in her photo, she's beige with a very black face
12:23 pm
ChrissieDee
How is Rufie, is he moping?
12:23 pm
rubyfoo
she looks like my very first chow, Rosie
12:24 pm
MollyL
ra7...more lecherous
12:24 pm
rubyfoo
he is a little more clingy than usual, but I think he is enjoying the extra attention. He just picked up Ruby's scent one night and went a little crazy looking for her
12:25 pm

So sad ruby, if only we could talk with our pets. Mind you I think my yorkie would never shut up!

I just realized that our baseball discussion should have put me in the PB -- bad nel
12:26 pm
MollyL
Oh, me too. Bring the grappa.
12:26 pm
rubyfoo
I think Yorkies are probably very opinionated!
12:28 pm
rubyfoo
I think they're very smart. Ruby was friends with a tiny one in the village
12:28 pm
rubyfoo
and brave
12:29 pm
ChrissieDee
Yes, my Rosie is bright and very friendly
12:29 pm
rubyfoo
my first chow was Rosie
12:29 pm
rubyfoo
a great beauty!
12:30 pm
rubyfoo
I wouldn't call any of my chows particularly friendly unless they choose a person
12:30 pm
ChrissieDee
How many have you had, we're on our 4th yorkie
12:31 pm
rubyfoo
Rafaella will be our 7th
12:31 pm
rubyfoo
we've had bad luck with a couple of them
12:31 pm
rubyfoo
how long do they live?
12:31 pm
ChrissieDee
Doggies get a rough deal on their lifespan :(
12:32 pm
rubyfoo
Rosie was left in a hot car by my husband's driver, Cleo had a congenital heart problem, Max drowned in the fishpond. All awful
12:33 pm
rubyfoo
Rufus was almost ten and Ruby made it through 10
12:35 pm
ChrissieDee
Dixie was 13. We nearly lost him when he was 10, so got Lucy as an advance replacement. She gave him a new lease of life! When dixie left we got Candy for company for Lucy as she just took to her bed. Lucy only lived to age 10. Rosie was adopted as company for Candy. Candy has been gone for 2 years but Rosie is doing fine on her own.
12:35 pm
rubyfoo
wonderful names, Chrissie!
12:36 pm
ChrissieDee
How awful about your Rosie
12:36 pm
rubyfoo
she was 4 and was magnifient;, nursed me through my cancer
12:37 pm
rubyfoo
we need to have two all the time now, after going through the untimely losses
12:37 pm
ChrissieDee
You must have been devastates ruby
12:37 pm
ChrissieDee
*devastated
12:37 pm
rubyfoo
each one leaves a hole in your heart but, on the other hand, our hearts get bigger with each new one
12:38 pm
rubyfoo
So it becomes a large, holey heart
12:38 pm
ChrissieDee
i totally agree. Did you see the poem Crossy posted a few days ago about losing a dog. It was lovely
12:39 pm
rubyfoo
yes, I think he posted it while I was grieving
12:39 pm
rubyfoo
I am always surprised when people who lose dogs say "never again!"
12:41 pm
rubyfoo
speaking of which, I know a buster who needs his tummy rubber!
12:41 pm
rubyfoo
good night, everybody
12:41 pm

Yes, you're not replacing them(even though I did use that expression earlier), you've just got more love to give

there is a brand called makers mark,speaking of booze mistake and they has cost increases and had to pass things along to the consumer.well someone in the company decided to try and alter the recipie which in turn dropped the alcohol content by 5%.there followed afterwards such a hue and outcry and and letters pouring in that the company had to take out an ad and apologize and return the whiskey back to its own original recipie.the company later added a few cents to the cost of each bottle and the public were happy with that.

yes and i did the things they suggested and it has not done the trick
5:44 pm

i am buying a cover because i figure putting a cover on is easier than bailing water and scrapping ice on the inside
5:44 pm
welki
says that if you leave climate control on auto, it might stop
5:45 pm
jmcnrick
climate control? not sure that i have that. . .
5:45 pm
welki
hmmmm - a cover might help, but not when you're driving down the highway (unless you cut out eye-holes)
5:45 pm
jmcnrick
sometimes with the frost inside the car i feel like i am driving with eyeholes. . .
5:45 pm
welki
you have climate control, probably dual climate control - if i'm in your car, can i set my own side's temperature?
5:46 pm
welki
<-- wishes she could have just given you my saabs
5:46 pm

when i am driving it is less of a problem because the wind blows the ra** over the windsheild . . . somewhere over the windsheild. .. .

the mkx has auto w/paddle shifters

which i think is ridiculous, but some people like it

and he probably does have the better deal, but my car's a nice ride and has seats big enough for my fat behind :)
5:59 pm

i think an audi R8 is what i would go for if i had to buy a car tomorrow
5:59 pm

do you remember a long time ago, there was a discussion on mustang seats? lolol - it just came back to me - someone was saying they'd need a crowbar
6:00 pm

and now it is time for something new!! it is time for crossy's book recommendation of the day!!! today's book is The Lottery and Other Stories by Shirley Jackson. When this brilliant, nasty tale of a small town’s annual ritual of randomly stoning one of its citizens to death was published in the New Yorker in 1947, it generated more letters than anything the magazine had ever published. Many wanted to cancel their subscriptions, others wanted to know what happened after the story's end. A terrifying few asked whether 'The Lottery" was real and, if so, where could they go see one enacted. :))

The laryngitis while teaching has been "challenging" Nef -- didn't add zinc (probably can find some in the cupboard), but did use salt water one morning.

I hope you aren't going to have too dry a year then. We had really cold weather in December that froze the ground; then got the snow. I heard on the ra5/12 the other day that Fargo <ND has a 80% chance of flooding again this year; even if we are in a drought.

I have very low tolerance for families who refer to the youngest as "the baby" when the kid is over one.
9:06 pm
jmcnrick
hi min and nonnie
9:06 pm
Lizlin
Hi again. un 9 - another idea - if you don't look at books much you might be called un 6 / 24. The 9 is a comparative form of this!

Hello, Minveryork
10:04 pm
Minveryork
Was en6/21 in grid for many hours today.It took me ae 4/4s to find 140 words. I wasn't ad 5/14 with this grid.Fireworks are not an5/10 so here is a story for my de 4/5 Babble friends whom I ado 4/5 greatly and I am fo4/8 of. I ea 4/4 a living as an ESL teacher. My parents thought it was an in5/10 id 4/5 to become a teacher.They went on a tir5/12 about how teachers don't make lots of money.My Mother said her mother was a teacher & she got pa4/6 very little money. My Mom suggested that I become a doctor or a lawyer.I thought that was an in 6/18 suggestion. I said to my Mom,"pa4/6on me,but you can't tell me which career to choose". I love teaching. I wouldn't tr 5/12 it for any other job.I ad5/12 some of my students. Da4/5! Hubby is ne4/4by making sni4/5 remarks because he wants computer so my story has en5/14. How da4/5 he take the computer from me! He is such a pa4/5 in the butt! I usually do not give a di4/5 if hubby wants computer, but I don't feel like finishing anyway so I'll surre4/5er this laptop to him. Now that I've ai 5/14 with a story I'm going to da 4/5 on into the bedroom and watch the Jack Nicholson film "The De 6/24ed". I hope you found more words after re4/5ing my story I did not ed4/5 my story so there might be mistakes.
