How's Rafaella?
3:26 am
Dachef
morning. New word in the grid for Enable: sidechog. Meaning to avidly type words into the grid whilst keeping one careful eye on the chat log just in case someone you like turns up.
3:27 am
Lizlin
Like the sidechog word!
3:28 am
rubyfoo
rafaella is a magic dog! I even thought she was housebroken, besides being adorable, sart and affectionate. But one accident so far and, surprisingly, not during the night but while we were all together.
3:28 am
rubyfoo
Now if it would only stop raining because the amount of mud the twodogs bring in is astonishing!
3:28 am
Lizlin
that's wonderful. How's Rufie with her and how's she with Rufie? And how's your DH with her?
3:29 am
rubyfoo
and hugs to you, lzlin
3:29 am
Lizlin
Have you got any pics of her?
3:29 am
rubyfoo
Rufie is a little bit strange with her but they chase each other back and forth and the only time he barked was when she got briefly stuck down a hill in the garden, and that was so I would come to help
3:30 am
Lizlin
That's so caring of him - I'm sure they'll become friends.
3:30 am
rubyfoo
my camera went dead yesterday, but I'll take more today and, if I can figure out how to get them into computer, they'll be on the way.
3:31 am
Lizlin
I'd love to see them, so I hope you do get it to all work. You must be feeling pretty relieved that she's here safely.
3:31 am
grannyrose
{{ruby}} and welcome to rafella
3:31 am
rubyfoo
DH is only slightly diverted, mostly he likes to talk about how cute and wonderful she is, but then lapses into his nastiness with me. Tant pis!
3:31 am
grannyrose
grrrr, * rafaella *
3:31 am
rubyfoo
she is a delicious little dog, bold and very "licky"
3:32 am
Lizlin
Tant pis indeed! Just change the conversation back to the dogs!!! Not so easy, I do realise!
3:32 am
rubyfoo
rode 2 1/2 hrs back from lyon on my lap, alternately sleeping and licking me
3:32 am
grannyrose
i do so like a dog who is demonstrative with their love.
3:32 am
rubyfoo
close enough; half the time I call her puppy girl
3:32 am
Lizlin
Ah that's so cute. How heavy is she?
3:33 am
Lizlin
At least Rufie won't get confused if you call her puppy girl. Their names are pretty similar.
3:33 am
rubyfoo
VERY she looks small but probably weighs 15-20 bs
3:33 am
Lizlin
Your poor legs!!!!
3:34 am
rubyfoo
she'll be anothher moose and she immediately did her biz in the garden but eat and drinks prodigiously and we have to keep the door open (hence the "accident this AM)
3:34 am
grannyrose
liz, if you have seen pics of ruby, you would realise just how true your words are. ruby is so tiny ( compared to me ).
3:34 am
Lizlin
She'll learn. It's all very new for her too.
3:35 am
rubyfoo
I am really crippled up today and DH is only concerned with cleaning out the garage (he has 4 mowers - who knew)m 2 edger (ditto), 800 lbs of bird seed (exaggerating) and lots of wood. I think he's preparing for a war
3:35 am
Lizlin
Are you working over the holiday weekend Rose or have you got some time to relax?
3:36 am
Lizlin
You poor thing, Ruby! 4 mowers!!!! Very odd!
3:36 am
rubyfoo
They make a big deal about \'Easter Monday" here, but nobody goes to Church!
3:36 am
rubyfoo
ya think that's odd? And he doesn't even do the mowing
3:37 am
Lizlin
I find it odd how everything shuts on Good Friday! In the UK everything was open - considered a boom day especially for the garden centres etc.
3:37 am
Lizlin
Easter seems to be party time for many of our neighbours!
3:37 am
rubyfoo
uh oh, she just peed next to DH's desk, so Ms. Clean must go to the rescue
3:38 am
rubyfoo
it's like that here, too. In NY, Good Friday was a big deal.
3:38 am
rubyfoo
it's like that here, too. In NY, Good Friday was a big deal.
3:38 am

Did you know that the Russian and Germanand Polish pogroms almost always started on Good Friday?

puglet
hello room-hope you dont mind me nosing in on your conversation about the new puppy.I love dogs(got 3 rescue dogs myself)--may I ask what breed she is
3:38 am
grannyrose
liz, have done on-call for easter for the last 10 years. this year i have taken the time off.
3:39 am
rubyfoo
she is our 7th chow chow. We love the aestherics and particular personalities of the breed. They are like enormous cats
3:39 am
Lizlin
That's great Rose. I'm glad you can have some time off.
3:39 am
Lizlin
Yes, Ruby - what was the rationale for that?
3:39 am
rubyfoo
hello puglet; I know it's better to get rescue dogs, but we both love chows
3:40 am
Lizlin
Oh I guess to catch Jews killing children over Easter.
3:40 am
Lizlin
Hi puglet.
3:40 am
rubyfoo
because they assumed tht the Jews were responsible for Jesus' death!
3:40 am
grannyrose
tomorrow, my whole family gets together for a picnic lunch, to celebrate easter, and my nephew's and my birthday. should be a great day.
3:40 am

That sounds like fun. Hope the weather's kind to you.
3:41 am

3:41 am
Lizlin
We've got guests tomorrow night and Monday night for Passover meals, so busy day tomorrow.
3:41 am
Dachef
Easter celebrations are based around a bloke who went out with his mates for a 'supper', changed water into wine and then woke up 3 days later in a cave. Don't see the big thing about that. Happens to me all the time.
3:42 am
Lizlin
Especially the wine part! - Although I guess my wine changes into water. lol!
3:43 am
grannyrose
wow, puglet. just how big is the pug/great dane. and how on earth did they get together?* pictures great dane on 'knees*...lol
3:43 am
Lizlin
That's quite an image!
3:44 am
puglet
I got a pug and got a great dane mix
3:44 am

You've assumed the Dane was the male!!!!
3:44 am

3:45 am
Lizlin
Seriously, that's lovely. I love dogs and hope that one day we might have one but we fundamentally disagree about whether dogs are outside or inside pets!!!
3:45 am
puglet
but believe it or not the pug is the boss over them all--shes got the bluff on them
3:45 am

Bon appetite Rose.

g/son has been soooo fantastic, since he has been 'sugar free', his teacher even asked his Mum if he could have a small choccie egg, Mum said YES cos he was going to his dad's. wrong, I know, BUT.
4:30 am
Kazzer99
hello lovely babblers. Hope you enjoy the easter break. it appears to be slightly sunny today which is quite nice. We are going out for lunch to a lovely restaurant and then tomorrow I might try to salvage our poor garden
4:31 am
grannyrose
lol....stand in line, hun. we have the same (almost ) problem with mother mac. she is a prednisolone induced diabetic, so not insulin dependent. but if her blood sugar levels go up, the bugs in her blood-stream go beresk. and she ends up very sick, requiring hospitalisation. here at home we keep her intake to an absolute minim um. she goes to her daughter's for the weekend/night and SHE fills her up with all sorts of food containing sugar. then hands her back to us, to clean up the mess.
4:31 am

Trifioso

5:48 am
Trifioso
i discovered an absolutely fabulous word the other day .... quincunx. haven't had a chance to use it in a game yet, but imagine THAT beauty on a triple word space!
5:49 am
grannyrose
*drooling* would LOVE to use it....
5:49 am
godthaab
There is an absolutely fantastic book by Charles Palliser called the "Quincunx"
5:50 am
grannyrose
um, yes, godthaab.....did you wish to say something? lol
5:50 am
Trifioso
thanks godthaab! noted....
5:50 am
godthaab
I hit the return button by mistake. I am here in the dark.
5:50 am
Trifioso
nah, I get it granny - godthaab was excited to talk about a book - I get like that ALL the time
5:52 am
grannyrose
godthaab, how can you be in the dark when you play babble? it's such an enlightening game...lol
5:52 am
Trifioso
im in the semi darkness as well, granny
5:52 am
worzel
goooooooooooood morning fellow babblers xxx could someone tell me how many words today please? xxx

5:53 am
Trifioso
yes, godthaab. have not turned on lights as yet, gloomy grey morning, so quite dark here
5:54 am
godthaab
I think it might be the same here. I am looking for a nice warm day, but I hear rumors of snow!
5:55 am
grannyrose
it's nearly 11pm here....trying to stay up another hour, as daylight saving ends tonight....hate waking up at 5am and unable to go back to sleep.
5:55 am
Trifioso
where are you, godthaab?
5:55 am
Trifioso
ah. I am a bit south of you - boston :)
5:55 am
godthaab
Where did you get that staircase. Is it a Yabu Pushelberg (sic)
5:56 am
Trifioso
I have no idea. it showed up on a fb site I like called Beautiful Design. they would have credited it, of course
5:57 am
Trifioso
I am mad for mosaics, of all kinds.
5:57 am
godthaab
Very cool
5:58 am
godthaab
Very Cool
5:58 am
godthaab
I'm still in the dark.....
5:58 am
Trifioso
my personal best so far is my kitchen backsplash. it took ages, but I am really proud of it....
5:59 am
godthaab
Yes, I imagine that ceramics are not easy to work with, especially if there is a lot of cutting involved.
6:00 am
Trifioso
cutting, sometimes....to be honest, I am more of a hammer type girl
6:00 am
grannyrose
i am very impressed by anyone who works in mosaics. personally, i have all the talent of a toilet seat.
6:00 am
Trifioso
it pretty much free therapy, at that point :)
6:01 am
Trifioso
there are some photos of my backsplash in my flickr feed, on page 11, should you care to gander
6:03 am
Trifioso
gasp! how can enable not accept "CHOG"????
6:04 am
zoozzoom
Teehee..i tried that also, Trif..so annoying.
6:05 am
zoozzoom
Enable does not except the word 'Internet' either...when it is in the grid.
6:05 am
godthaab
Wow! That is great. I bet it did take you forever! Are the ceramics "broken" or cut?
6:06 am
MollyL
Trif! Hi stranger. Easter blessings to you and yours.
6:06 am
Trifioso
hello molly! easter greetings to you as well! laptop is FINALLY fixed! Valentine arranged it --- love that guy!
6:08 am
MollyL
Clearly, he has your best interests at heart. : )
6:08 am
Trifioso
clearly. he's coming to easter dinner at kadresa's house with me, and he is TERRIFIED. its charming
6:09 am
MollyL
Well he obviously has some sense. "The Sisters" are a force to be reckoned with.
6:09 am
Trifioso
hahaha. what could be less scary than a coven? hahaha
6:10 am
MollyL
He is probably saying a Novena as we type this.
6:10 am
Trifioso
well, he was raised catholic....
6:11 am
Trifioso
so, here I am in the quiet house, with a to-do list as long as my arm. I do like making lists, but I am not even remotely realistic about how much I can get done in a day....
6:12 am
MollyL
That seems to be a "woman" thing.
6:12 am
Trifioso
really? that makes me feel better. mostly I think it's just a brain muffler. Somehow, if I get it all down on paper, it's not rattling around in there anymore.
6:13 am
Trifioso
at least I wont forget anything
6:13 am
MollyL
It also makes you "feel" productive to write down your "intentions". As long as you don't wallow in guilt if you don't get it all done, you're okay.
6:14 am
Trifioso
yes. paving the road to hell every day, that's me
6:14 am
MollyL
: D That should be a t-shirt.

Hello, Sprite :-)
6:28 am
sprite
hi zooz :)
6:31 am
sprite
any fun things planned for Easter, zooz?
6:33 am
zoozzoom
Not for me, Sprite..the only thing planned is giving my sisters children their easter eggs. Thats about it....how about you?
6:34 am
sprite
aw sweet :)
My daughter insisted we kept the tradition alive, even though she is 15 now. So we will hide chocolate eggs and have them search for them... a special egg for each of the kids as well... and an easter breakfast together. My girl is having a friend staying over to share in the fun.
6:36 am
zoozzoom
That sounds great, Sprite..nice to keep traditions going ...i think you are never too old to do a chocolate egg hunt. :-)
6:37 am
sprite
*grin* I guess I agree! I love it that the kids still think it is fun, at their age. Am planning on making some cute bunny breads and chicklet eggs.
6:40 am
zoozzoom
It is nice to hear you want to do that for them...You are enjoying that also i can tell...and i am sure it will be a great day..I hope when they get older they will continue to do the same for their children :-)
6:41 am
sprite
yeah that would be great. And yes, you are right, I am enjoying it.

xeiluj
I couldn;t go away with my sister this weekend, my fingers are still numb and where she is is very cold indeed!!
6:47 am
mael
indeed! I'm just hoping we get a wet spring, though. Last year was brutal here on the east coast, dry as a bone until late may.
6:48 am
zoozzoom
I have a couple of water butts..and last year i did not need them once..it was such a wet summer.
6:49 am
mael
it was feast or famine over here
6:49 am
MollyL
Water butts...oh the comments I could make

Hoping for a nice hot summer this year..not too long..maybe last untill end of december :-)
6:50 am
sprite
sounds good to me
6:51 am
zoozzoom
I like the high speed photography icon you have, Sprite..but my eyes cannot see what the writing says though.
6:53 am
MollyL
If an egg is broken by outside force, life ends.
If broken by inside force, life begins.
Great things always begin from inside.
6:53 am
sprite
it says: If an egg is broken by outside force, life ends. If broken by inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from inside. (Jim Kwik)
6:54 am
zoozzoom
Ahh thank you..i need to get my eyes tested.
6:54 am
mael
nice quote :)
6:55 am
sprite
nah, it is very small font for the size of the icon.

7:06 am
mael
I miss those awesome eggs. About a foot high, present inside, chocolate for WEEKS
7:07 am
zoozzoom
I love those too, Mael..but the thought of having to break them..lol
7:07 am
sprite
I have flirted with one... about that size and all filled with pralines. But too expensive. Left it at flirting ;)
7:07 am
zoozzoom
Although once broken..i could not care less what it had looked like before.
7:07 am
mael
when we were kids we used to throw them down the stairs still in their wrapping
7:08 am
mael
then you had itty bitty chocolate pieces and you could get to the toy faster
7:09 am

now I want chocolate

Godiva makes some pretty Easter candy. Too pricey for my budget though.

There is a theory that er5 cause the behavior that caused the Salem witch trials. I don't buy it though, because it seems odd that it would have affected only teenage girls when the whole community ate the rye crop.

1:25 pm
lilliann
pl,pt and more of ruby
1:25 pm
rubyfoo
our new puppy, Rafaella, arrived yesterday and although she is wonderful, I am exhausted. I feel like a new mother and I'm much too old to be one!
1:25 pm
lilliann
41 left and i would like to finish it before 5am.saying that sometimes i don't start until 9/10pm
1:26 pm
lilliann
aww.i bet you are.they are alot of work and ruffino is still young, but you'll fall in love with her very quickly :)
1:27 pm
rubyfoo
she'll never replace my Ruby, though
1:28 pm
lilliann
i was thinking of getting a kitten as one of my cats died weeks ago but i'm not upto clearing out cat litter trays until it can go outside, so i've decided to enjoy my cat that i have left :)
1:28 pm
rubyfoo
we have had endless rain so the amount of mud in the house is scary
1:29 pm
rubyfoo
I was in a rush to get this pup because husband was such a mess after Ruby died, but he's barely a participant
1:29 pm
lilliann
ofcourse she won't.all our pets have their own personalities and will be loved for them
1:31 pm
lilliann
oh no.that doesn't good ruby.we've had alot of snow on and off and then rain and then floods, but we've been quite lucky where i live and no damage.only to the roads with great big potholes
1:32 pm
lilliann
it's a shame that you have to do all the work and puppies do need alot of time and care
1:32 pm
rubyfoo
she's pretty easy and the two dogs play a lot, ut I have been washing floors and towels all day
1:32 pm
lilliann
is there not a younger person who could take them out for walks for you?
1:33 pm
rubyfoo
the baby goes in the garden and husband walks Ruffino but that's all he does
1:33 pm
rubyfoo
I'll start walking Raffie if the rain ever stops
1:34 pm
lilliann
well, i suppose it gives you a break for a while and it's good for bert.just a shame he doesn't do anymore
1:35 pm
lilliann
well it start of british summertime here tomorrow, so hopefully we'll get better weather
1:35 pm
rubyfoo
usully if it's sunny in the UK (or rainy, for that matter), we get it 2 or 3 days later
1:36 pm
lilliann
you'll have to take a picture of raffie and put it on here so we can see her :)
1:37 pm
rubyfoo
she never stops moving when she's outside; so fAR ALL THE PIX HAVE BEEN BLURRY
1:37 pm
lilliann
well, aparently, we're not in for bad weather in the next few days and beginning to get warmer....we'll see
1:37 pm

lilliann
i haven't seen any TO and i have the lambs cam up.but i've not had it on all day. i think maybe one or two were born withing the hour as all the sheep were stood up which means that the farmers have been in the pen.they might have had to remove the ewe?

beautiful sunny day here in upper 50s - sat out in the sun this afternoon
4:41 pm
smores
nice teach :)
4:42 pm
lilliann
hi glant :)
4:42 pm
Glantarell
*sat out in the sun* - gasps - it has hardly been above freezing point for weeks here
4:42 pm
Glantarell
I sually turn the heating off at the beginning of March and it's still on this eyar.
4:42 pm
lilliann
sounds lovely teach, but it was sunny where i live today and 9 degrees :)
4:42 pm
Glantarell
Hi llliann
4:42 pm
wvteach
we have a "chance of snow" back in forecast for Monday - rain tomorrow
4:43 pm
Glantarell
it was sunny until 9 this morniong and 4 degrees
4:43 pm
wvteach
thnx Glant - got it
4:43 pm
lilliann
so do i glant and i've even had my gas fire on in the lounge so, god knows what the bill's going to be like
4:43 pm
smores
currently 59F...mid 50's tomorrow then back to the 30's with a chance of flurries on Monday
4:43 pm
Glantarell
it turns out my gas fire doesn't work...
4:43 pm
Nef
Bzzn, do you ever get up there to see him?
4:44 pm
Glantarell
i need to find an engineer to sort it otu
4:44 pm
BzznBea
Not very often.
4:44 pm
lilliann
the problem with that glant, is that it costs a fortune
4:44 pm
BzznBea
We usually meet up at Mom's in KS
4:45 pm
Glantarell
yes, i know and I am worried that if he finds soething wrong he might shut all the gas off...
4:45 pm
Nef
It's 55 degrees (F) here right now. The snow is melting; but not near fast enough for the Easter egg hunt for tomorrow
4:46 pm
lilliann
that wouldn't be good. i take it you have a boiler for the hot water and radiators glant?
4:47 pm
lilliann
actually, stupid question, as you must have :0
4:47 pm
Nef
oh, darn, Bzzn <visions of a meet up bursting now>
4:48 pm
smores
that's too bad Nef....
4:48 pm
Nef
Chisago is a pretty area though
4:48 pm
MollyL
Why not have an Easter egg hunt inside?
4:49 pm
lilliann
you must have gas as you have a gas fire.if you're radiators are working i would try and carry on until it gets warmer and you don't need the fire or radiators on so much
4:50 pm
Glantarell
gas boiler, yes. I am waiting until the heating doesn;t need to be on before I call the gas fitter.
4:50 pm
lilliann
nef, an indoor hunt is good. i couldn't always get out when the bairn was little so i always had an indoor easter hunt and wrote cryptic clues as she got older
4:50 pm
Glantarell
at present the gas fire tap on the gas pipe is swithced off so I know it's not dnagerous but when I turn it on it won;t light
4:50 pm
Nef
We probably will, Molly. It's for the grandson; I know that mykids used to do egg hunts in the snow when they were that age (but we didn't have a dog in the yardback then. It's pretty messy out there...
4:51 pm
Glantarell
Hi weki
4:51 pm
Glantarell
*welki
4:51 pm
lilliann
perhaps the ignition button isn't working glant?
4:51 pm
smores
hey welki :)
4:51 pm
welki
Nef, I agree - would be dicey to hold an easter egg hunt in the backyard this time of year (if you have dogs)!
4:51 pm
lilliann
hi welki :)
4:52 pm
smores
was it working before Giant?
4:52 pm
Glantarell
the ignition button works, and once it went *poof* rather suddenly but now it does nothing so I think some ikind of safety cut out is operating
4:52 pm
Glantarell
can't get the pilot light to ignite
4:53 pm
Nef
that sounds safe at least glant
4:53 pm
lilliann
aye, then you're right about not using it until you can get it checked out properly
4:53 pm
welki
might just need to have the the line blown out - sometimes stuff gets clogged up in there. (please make sure there's no gas escaping)
4:53 pm
Glantarell
it is a flueless gas fire - who knew there was such a thing
4:54 pm
smores
ah....yeah, probably right about a safty switch
4:54 pm
welki
call the gas man. better safe than sorry
4:54 pm
Glantarell
I hate the way it looks, and the fireplace surrounding it - but a quick look around tells me I'd be looking at £1000 - £1500 to rpelace fire and fireplace
4:55 pm
lbdawger
sounds like it might be a thermo-coupler. fairly easy to replace.
4:55 pm
Glantarell
yes, i thought it might be the thermo couple
4:55 pm
lilliann
do you have a carbon monoxide detector glant? you can get them from b&Q i think and then you'll no t have to worry about the gas
4:56 pm
Glantarell
yes i have a carbon monoxide monitor and it is OK
4:56 pm
Nef
that's good news then
4:56 pm
Glantarell
I just have to decide what I am saving up for - a shower cubicle or a new fire and fireplace LOL
4:56 pm
lilliann
yes, it is expensive to replace both unfortunately
4:56 pm
lilliann
that's good then glant
4:57 pm
Glantarell
might go for the shower for now and work up to the fire & fireplace for next wnter LOL
4:57 pm
MollyL
Xnay on an Easter egg hunt in a dog poop yard. Ew.
4:57 pm
welki
clean and warm - or clean or warm - decisions, decisions :)
4:57 pm

5:14 pm
dizgrannie
same meaning here, Nef
5:14 pm
lilliann
late 20's, that is an unusual name now for a person so young, but saying that, alot of the older names are coming back, like phoebe, ruby alice etc
5:14 pm
Glantarell
there was a book called Memoirs of a Woman od Pleasure, and the main character was called Fanny - I wonder of that;s the connection?
5:14 pm
crosshair
a name change would be in order if residing in those areas i am thinking
5:15 pm
Glantarell
or it might be a shortening of Frances?
5:15 pm
crosshair
it says that as well
5:15 pm
lilliann
i knew a frances and she was called fran not fan :)
5:16 pm
Nef
I just went to a dinner theater production of "Ring of Fire with my Aunt the other day. It was a musical all about Johnny Cash, and they sang "A Boy Named Sue." I wonder why Fanny's parents would give her that name now?

my dad's parents gave him ahis 1st and 2nd name and had him batised with the names and registered on his birth certificate but all his life, they called him by his middle name.why didn't they just name him that in the first place?
5:53 pm
Nef
Java, I know a nurse friend in England who is from Australia (we discussed this a while ago). Her name is Fanny and she's in her late 20's, just had a baby last year. I can't understand why her parents would have named her that when it isn't a nice word there.

5:55 pm
Nef
lilli, my DH and son are named the same; but I'd never call my son Junior. We've always used his middle name too; just as DH's family always called him his middle name too. If we had to do it again, I'd reverse the 2 names (knowing what I now know)
5:55 pm
java2
And then there's George Foreman who named all his sons with the first name "George". I'm sure they are all addressed by their middle names.

Nef, my Dads the eldest of 15. Mom's the eldest of 11. I have over 100 first cousins. Many of whom I've never even met !
6:05 pm
Soodle
What can I say? No TV in Ireland until the sixties.....
6:05 pm
Nef
I have 58 on my Mom's side; we were all very close growing up (while my Grandma was still alive) We still get together every few years (trying to do it more than just at a wedding or funeral)
6:06 pm
lilliann
my mam's mam's name is mary
6:06 pm
Nef
there were 9 in my Mom's family
6:06 pm
lilliann
that is alot of cousins soodle
6:07 pm
Nef
I'm still thinking about growing up with 8 sets of aunts and uncles; trying to imagine having 25 sets of them! Yikes!
6:08 pm
lilliann
there were about 9 in my nan and grandad's families.but i think, in late 1800s and early to mid 19oo's families were big
6:08 pm
lilliann
now, we don't tend to have so many children per family
6:09 pm
Nef
they were, lilli. Because so many didn't survive to adulthood and they needed help on the farms I guess
6:09 pm
BzznBea
Big families were needed to take care of the famrs.
6:09 pm
lilliann
and yet if you think, our families had it alot tougher than us
6:10 pm
Soodle
My Dad was brought up in a two bedroomed cottage. No running water, & 14 siblings. No washing machine. No dishwasher. My Grandma married my Granda when they were both 17. And she cared for him for 10 years after he had a stroke.
6:10 pm
lilliann
yes, but even in this country alot of families were big and they weren't farmers. my dad's side who are welsh worked down the pits
6:10 pm
Nef
I remember in grade school I had a lot of classmates with more that 6-8 siblings; even 14 kids in some families. One kid I knew ended upwith 20 siblings though (and a very nice family too)
6:11 pm
lilliann
that is a tough life soodle and the kids today complain if the tv isn't working!!
6:11 pm
lilliann
20 siblings!
6:12 pm
lilliann
my mam's mam had a big family and as she was the eldest, she had to look after the others
6:12 pm
Nef
LOL! there was no such thing as saying you were bored! The adults would find some hard work for you to do if you so much as *thought* you were bored!
6:13 pm
lilliann
exactly soodle, there were no electric appliances.tin baths and a netty
6:13 pm
Nef
yes, lilli; 21 kids and I believe they all ended up with college degrees! As each reached 16; they went out and got jobs and helped the others through school
6:13 pm
Soodle
I have the happiest memories of going to my Grandma's house, for the month of August each year. God be with the days…
6:14 pm
Nef
did they ever have electricity and running water, Soodle?
6:15 pm
lilliann
how great nef.that is a well brought up family
6:15 pm
Nef
they were indeed. lil. It was a pleasure to know them.
6:17 pm
lilliann
i have the same great memories soodle when i use to go to wales for 6 weeks with my brother.apart from the mushy peas,runny jelly and having to eat raw carrots so i could see my way to the toilet.it was great. i use to go to the grotto with my grandad .he was a very tall but quiet man
6:18 pm
Soodle
They have it now Nef, but back in the day, we used to go to the well, about 10 minutes away, several times a day. I have drank many different types of bottled water, but to this day, water from the well at my Dads is the best water EVER!!!
6:19 pm
Nef
what wonderful memories! :-)
6:19 pm
lilliann

6:21 pm
Nef

6:25 pm
Soodle
An uncle of mine was a photo enthusiast back in the day. I know of a photo of me, slurping out of a bottle ( so whats new?), and my brother, my mam & dad & my uncle Lou, (now departed) Its in black & white, but the composition, and the ambience of the picture is astonishing. I will post as soon as I find the darn album its in........
6:26 pm
Nef
58 left; should I go clean my bathroom (I did one now a while ago); or should I list?
6:26 pm
lilliann
they were nef.it's just a shame i can't remember alot more.i remember walking upto the pub with my grandad every day and then i'd walk home nad play for a couple of hours and then my grandad and his 2 friends would be sat on a bench outside the school near my grandparent's house and i would be stood opposit them every day waiting for him to cross the road and then when he crossed we would hold hands and walk a couple of minutes to teh house
6:27 pm
Nef
sweet, swet memories.... :-)
6:28 pm
lilliann
that sounds great soodle and would love to see a pic.i must admit i love looking at my families old photos.i think they look good even in black and white.maybe because it was more family orientated?

6:42 pm
BzznBea
I love asparagus.
6:42 pm
lilliann
sounds good cos, but i 've never heard of hash brown casserole :)
6:42 pm
Lizlin

6:43 pm
lilliann

6:43 pm
Lizlin
But they are nice people :)
6:43 pm
Lizlin
Glad you said that lilli - I was wondering!
6:43 pm
Nef
oh, dear, Liz. Nothing like a bunch of serious people to squelch a good meal
6:43 pm
BzznBea
I didn't want to cook for a crowd so we did not invite the kids up for dinner.
6:44 pm
Lizlin
They'll be fine - we've got a lot in common but there are some things that they take very seriously!
6:44 pm
BzznBea
I haven't wanted to go or see any one lately. Old grump.
6:44 pm
Lizlin
Esp to do with religion!!!!
6:45 pm
Nef
oh my, Liz. Just keep the conversation off the wrong topics then
6:45 pm
Lizlin
Certainly will!
6:46 pm
Lizlin
Sometimes a good debate is fun - but you've got to be in the mood for it!
6:46 pm
Nef
and it can't ever be about THEIR religion I bet!
6:47 pm
Lizlin
We share the same religion but they're much more literal in their interpretation.
6:48 pm
Lizlin
But as I said, we do really like these people.
6:48 pm

Hi nef. Just spending a little quite time. I colored my Easter eggs this evening and hubby helped. He really enjoys mixing colors but I said quite firmly that the brown mixture was not to be used!
10:27 pm
Nef
LOL! I have brown (onion skins gave it the color) dyed eggs. A Latvian friend taught me how to dye them; but she uses leaves and tiny flowers to tied tight to them to decorate them.
10:28 pm
Nef
They're from several years ago and have totally dried out
10:28 pm
stidgmere
I forgot to put out my fancy eggs! I think I'll do that in the morning.

Ooh, jes..I'm supposed to be getting a puppy tonight or tomorrow...

how exciting, jellen! :-)
11:33 pm
Jellen
Not really young, but still less than a year old...
11:33 pm
jesdraggon
a little older isn't bad - hopefully that means he'll already be house trained
11:34 pm
Jellen
Unfortunately, he is not completely house trained...
11:35 pm
Nef
oh-oh. That's a pain (to me at least)
11:35 pm
Nef
I don't know anymore if our 14 y/o schiz-poo is trained or if we are....
11:35 pm
Jellen
His previous owner isn't too disciplined...
11:36 pm
jesdraggon
that's frustrating. but shouldn't be too bad to teach him
11:36 pm
Jellen
I was going to try crate training him...
11:36 pm
Nef
Good Luck, Jellen. I hope he's a great dog for you!
11:37 pm
Jellen
Thanks, Nef...I hope so, too!

i think kennel training is one of the best things you can do for a dog
11:38 pm
Jellen
What are the best kind of treats for training?
11:39 pm
Nef
It seems to work for a lot of dogs, doesn't it? (Our dog goes crazy though when he's locked in a kennel here at home. He does go in the kennel at the groomers though
11:39 pm
jesdraggon
depends on the dog. i'm mostly just using praise with Little John, because he is so responsive to it.
11:39 pm
jesdraggon
some dogs are food motivated enough that you can just measure out the food you would give during the day, and feed it out a kibble at a time as rewards through the day, then give whatever you haven't fed out to them before bed.
11:40 pm
Uneaixoise
2 of my 3 dogs go to the crate on their own -- seems to feel cozy and comforting (w/ door open)
11:40 pm
Uneaixoise
my dogs are VERY food motivated LOL!
11:40 pm
jesdraggon
i'm fond of low-calorie treats, especially for small dogs, because they are so easy to get fat; carrot sticks, ice cubes, apple slices. if you use hot dogs or cheese or something, cut it into really really small pieces
11:42 pm
Nef
Our dog loves carrots and apple slices and oranges.
11:42 pm
jesdraggon
when you kennel train, make sure that the kennel is his happy place - don't use it as a punishment. Put his bed in the kennel, feed him in the kennel, keep his toys in the kennel... when he's not locked in, it should always be open so he can go get a toy and bring it out, and he should get a treat or there should be something good in the kennel when you put him in
11:43 pm
jesdraggon
and don't ever let him out when he's crying!! that just teaches him to cry in the kennel. even if it means you have to hide around the corner and jump into the room to open the door when he pauses for breath, wait until he's quiet to open the kennel
11:44 pm
Jellen
Where should I locate it? I was thinking the living room or my computer room...

really, jes? Our dog actually bites at the wire door and throws himself against it til his mouth bleeds. I don't know why or what it is that makes him do that; but I'm afraid he will really hurt himself badly at that point --and I let him out.
11:45 pm
jesdraggon
Wherever you want him to sleep at night - sometimes that means having multiple kennels. Little John's is in the living room.
11:46 pm
jesdraggon
Really Nef- once they learn that crying or barking causes the door to open, it will just get worse; if you ignore it, they bark louder and longer, or start doing exactly what your dog is doing, and escalating to pawing and scratching and flailing at the door.
11:47 pm
jesdraggon
Rewarding calm behavior is way more effective than trying to punish the frantic behavior.
11:47 pm
Uneaixoise
my crate works well in the room adjacent to the living room -- can hear what's going on but still quieter than being in the middle of things
11:47 pm
jesdraggon
Once they're too the point you describe, it's a lot harder to train them to be calm than it is if they are neutral/just starting
11:48 pm
jesdraggon
if you dog is shy or you want to use the kennel as a retreat away from kids or company, i'd put it in the bedroom or a utility room instead of the living room.
11:48 pm
Jellen
Thanks for the link!
11:48 pm
Nef
well, we haven't tried kenneling him for years til this past 6 months when he started peeing on the carpet after he was so ill last fall. His previous owner had kennelled him at one time; but he ended up injuring himself
11:49 pm
jesdraggon
if you want to work on yours, nef, i'd start with taking the door off of your kennel and leaving it where the dog can get to it any time, and only feed in the kennel - if he wants dinner, he goes in. he's not trapped, he's not stuck, nothing bad happens.
11:49 pm
jesdraggon
tell him to kennel, give him a treat when he goes in, let him immediately back out before he has time to get frantic
11:49 pm
jesdraggon
find a really high-value treat that he ONLY gets in the kennel; rawhide or a favorite toy, or whatever
11:50 pm
Nef
good idea, Jes. I'll give that a try next week
11:50 pm
jesdraggon
when he's comfortable eating in the kennel and then coming back out, (and this may take days or a couple weeks) put the door back on, and keep feeding him in it with the door open.
11:51 pm
jesdraggon
when he's comfortable with that, start shutting the door, but staying close by, and when he finishes eating but BEFORE he starts pawing or whining, open the door.
11:51 pm
Nef
8 words to find! I want to finish (I'm going to shut up for a minute, okay?
11:51 pm
jesdraggon
then step it up to waiting until he's done eating and ask him to sit (i assume he knows sit and will do so reliably outside the kennel? if not, work on that too)
11:53 pm
jesdraggon
when he sits, immediately open the door of the kennel. very gradually, extend the amount of time he remains in the kennel before you let him out. expect it to take weeks or months before he is comfortable hanging out in the kennel without crying - you're trying to unlearn a pretty pronounced behavior, and that's not going to go quickly or simply.
11:53 pm
Nef
he does follow some commands; but only from me and my grandson; he doesn't follow commands from DH
11:53 pm
jesdraggon
finish the grid?! hahhaha. though if someone could clue the upper left e, that'd give me no blank tiles.
