that he7 must be to do with that saying "when he** freezes over"

8:21 am

kje

I call this babble brain... where you can see the odd nonwords like el4/5, but not the obvious ones like el4/4

8:21 am

smores, omit the L re: your footwear

8:30 am

Anniebrook

lynxxx, still wanting to get something to Lickety w/o using paypal, any ideas?

8:30 am

lynxxx

TY Annie - I had the croutons - was just trying for more but failed

8:32 am

lynxxx

Can only suggest you get a friend or relative to do the Paypal for you Annie. Sending him any sort of check will cost a heap in Bank Charges at his end.

8:33 am

MollyL

Annie, you can wire money via Money Gram or Western Union, but you would have to get information from Lickety for that (where to send it)

8:33 am

Anniebrook

I will "talk to Mom"

8:33 am

lynxxx

good idea Annie

8:35 am

kje

he6/24?

8:36 am

nearly typed it in here!

hint for the he 7/36, pls

8:44 am

hurshy

it's the plural of the shape of DNA, double -----

8:45 am

bichon

ty hurshy and hi

8:45 am

hurshy

hi :)

8:45 am

bichon

cold this morning hurshy

8:45 am

hurshy

yes

8:45 am

hurshy

but this may be the coldest day for a long time, according to the forecast - the last high lower than 50

8:46 am

bichon

I saw that there was a sexual assault in NH, a woman walking to the train station

8:47 am

hurshy

at 4:40 AM

8:47 am

hurshy

bad time to walk alone in that part of town - or most places

8:48 am

bichon

I would never walk there at that time of day. Always drive to daughter in West Haven and have her drop me off

8:48 am

hurshy

yeah i mean, of course the yale people, they want you to call for an escort, but this wasn't a yale person, so i don't know if they have anyone to call.

8:49 am

hurshy

if you have little money, and no family, it's probably harder, i guess.

8:49 am

bichon

all true hurshy

8:53 am

hurshy

i worry about my friend who works an early shift (opens the place) sometimes at starbucks downtown.

8:54 am

bichon

I remember, decades ago, when I lived in NYC and I had to go to visit my child welfare clients in their homes. I don't know how I did it.

8:56 am

hurshy

yeah my sister had to go some scary places as a social worker out in a rural part of missouri, years ago

9:01 am

Judi

Good morning, all!

9:02 am

bichon

hi Judi

9:05 am

MollyL

So wait, I'm confused. The escort service is only for Yale people?

9:05 am

hurshy

well it's the yale security or yale police that provides it

9:05 am

hurshy

so... i think so

9:07 am

crosshair

think of the people who live there day in and day out bichon:((

9:07 am

bichon

Yes, they have that at Wesleyan too. Public Safety will excort students places

9:08 am

hurshy

are there any EX words?

9:08 am

bichon

The problem is that the New Haven train station is in a bad part of town. The parking pacility gets filled up and you have to park in an outer lot and walk from there :((

9:08 am

bichon

yes hurshy

9:08 am

bichon

*facility

9:09 am

hurshy

yeah it's better to get dropped off, either family, friend, or cab.

9:09 am

bichon

bbl

9:10 am

hurshy

i might need help with ex words...

9:12 am

hurshy

i guess only one ex word...

9:12 am

Erda

There's only one, hurshy, but it's a doozy

9:12 am

hurshy

but it's not excise or extol

9:12 am

hurshy

clue please? :)

9:13 am

Judi

Ex + UK neighbor.

9:13 am

Erda

EX + Christ had several dis*****s

9:15 am

hurshy

thank you!

9:15 am

Erda

YW hurshy

9:15 am

hurshy

let's see, that leaves... 2 C, 2 P, 4 H, 7 S

9:15 am

crosshair

had to use morewords,never heard of that uk neighbour

9:16 am

Judi

Should have said one who wears a kilt.

9:16 am

Anniebrook

fireworks

9:17 am

crosshair

yaaa for annie!

9:17 am

Anniebrook

any clues wanted before I leave?

9:17 am

Judi

That's a clue for the es5/6, tho.

9:17 am

MollyL

Isn't a sc4 a UK neighbor?

9:18 am

Judi

Yes.

9:19 am

Erda

But it has nothing to do with the ex7 word...

9:19 am

hurshy

yes erda's clue is the one that worked for ex

9:19 am

crosshair

yes,but ciple is not,but as i say,whatever gets us to the finish line

9:19 am

Anniebrook

bye

9:25 am

hurshy

so let's see, the 7's are ex, he, is, and... ?

9:25 am

windingwake

There's an si7, hurshy

9:25 am

Erda

9:25 am

Mary

9:26 am

hurshy

ooh thanks, mary, got the ho

9:26 am

hurshy

thanks erda and winding too, looking ...

9:27 am

windingwake

Thanks to you too, I only had the si and ex so far =)

9:27 am

hurshy

it must not be too weird then ?

9:27 am

windingwake

it's... not a word I know, but its letters are very monkey-able.

9:29 am

hurshy

not having any luck... may i have a clue?

9:29 am

Erda

Of all the EX words they could've chosen, they went for "a rim around the hymenium of various lichens." I ask you...

9:29 am

hurshy

lol erda, you know nobody's CHOOSING the words!

9:30 am

windingwake

Same ending as a skinny dog

9:30 am

hurshy

weimaraner?

9:30 am

hurshy

greyhound?

9:30 am

Erda

borzoi?

9:30 am

hurshy

chihuahua?

9:31 am

hurshy

oooh i know!

9:31 am

windingwake

Like a greyhound, heh.

9:31 am

hurshy

thanks i got it

9:31 am

hurshy

9:31 am

Michnick

I am soooo confused.

9:32 am

Michnick

I am soooo confused.

9:32 am

Judi

Like a miniature greyhound.

9:33 am

Michnick

I am just not a dog person, that doesn't help me much, or...at all.

9:33 am

Michnick

Oops, I mean he4! Off to the PB, maybe there is wiseom hiding there.

9:33 am

hurshy

don't guzzle your drink down, just gently si_____

9:33 am

Michnick

Ahhh

9:33 am

hurshy

(this is not a word, it is a play on words)

9:33 am

windingwake

Lol, even better than what I was writing, hursh =)

9:33 am

hurshy

i mean it's a word, but i don't know what the word means, so i used that instead

9:34 am

Judi

Like the Devo song ... "whip** good. Different ending.

9:34 am

Michnick

Got it. Even recognized the doggy

9:34 am

Michnick

Thank you

Way to go Judi. I am still far away and people expect me to stop babbling and make supper. Hmphh.

9:45 am

Judi

How presumptuous of them, Mich.

9:45 am

Michnick

Exzactly!

9:45 am

Judi

Toss them some olives. That will hold them over.

9:46 am

Michnick

Would be a good idea except my DH hates olives- and we live among olive trees!

9:46 am

Judi

Dates. Toss them dates!

9:47 am

Michnick

I'll try it, but somehow I think they are expecting chicken. Maybe chicken flavored dates?

9:47 am

Judi

There you go.

9:48 am

Judi

I'm off to do real work (how boring). See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

9:48 am

11:29 am

11:49 am

11:51 am

Michnick

Oy, sounds awful. I am glad she has regained her will to live. How old is she?

11:51 am

sammysmom

so i sang her "soft kitty" and told her that we love her and to stay the hell away from us for a few more days

11:51 am

sammysmom

she is in her 40's mich

11:52 am

Michnick

Ohh, I miss my mom. She is gone from us just 13 months, and I had no one to call when I had the flu this winter. Just my sisters, which is nice but not a Mommy.

11:53 am

Michnick

I am 52 and not the baby.

11:54 am

sammysmom

i understand mich

11:54 am

Dispatch

Mich...I'm not using a list yet...but I have he5/12 x 2 and he6/21 that was pl of the second of my he5/12. Not sure where a 7 fits into this???

11:55 am

Michnick

Speaking of.... My little sister is on the phone from the US

11:55 am

MollyL

Here is a song from Mom, we love you, stay the hell away from us...that is hysterical SMom : D

11:56 am

uusue2

morning all!

12:00 pm

sammysmom

lol molly... hubby is 86 and copd and emphysema and is on o2 so we are very protective of him ... she would never come here when she even thinks she may have been exposed to anything tho,,,,,,

12:02 pm

sammysmom

some folks think we are nuts.. we ask people to wash their hands when they come and not to come when they are sick and we wash common areas and utensils with a solution of vinegar and water ( like the phone.. doorknobs.. etc) and if they don't like it.. oh well...............

12:03 pm

MollyL

Oh well indeed. You have to do the best you can to keep germs away from Mr. SMom.

12:04 pm

uusue2

good for you, sammysmom!

12:04 pm

sammysmom

yup. and if that is being bitchy ( as i have been accused ) thats ok,,,,,,,, i'll BE the bithc..lol

12:06 pm

uusue2

it's not being bitchy if you're protecting someone's health, seems to me!

12:08 pm

sammysmom

we have been married 56 years and it took me 40 years to grow him up so i do tend to be protective of my trophy..lol

12:09 pm

uusue2

wow, good for you!! that is great that you have been together so long.

12:09 pm

bichon

hi folks, good afternoon. Back with 19 ;eft

12:09 pm

uusue2

hi bichon!

12:09 pm

sammysmom

hey bichon

12:10 pm

bichon

what's new and exciting in Babbleville?

12:10 pm

jmcnrick

me i is new and exciting! *bounce bounce bounce*

12:11 pm

uusue2

I can't find any words from the bottom e, but that is probably neither new nor exciting

12:11 pm

uusue2

hi jmc! You are indeed new and exciting!

12:11 pm

sammysmom

well, my maple trees have big fat red buds on them and that makes me feel good..... hows's thinks with you?

12:11 pm

bichon

did you get the ex 7?

12:11 pm

uusue2

nope

12:12 pm

bichon

the forsythias are make the right moves

12:12 pm

uusue2

I did, however, check to make sure that excite wasn't in the grid...

12:13 pm

sammysmom

love it when spring bursts forth

12:13 pm

bichon

no, it's a weirdo word, want a clue?

12:13 pm

uusue2

sure!

12:13 pm

MollyL

Oh God SMom, 40 years to grow him up? I don't have that kind of patience. Good for you!

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

the construction killed all of my forsynthias :-(

12:14 pm

bichon

ex + Mark, John, Luke were dis*****s of Jesus

12:14 pm

uusue2

bummer, jmc

12:15 pm

uusue2

thanks, bichon! nbs and nbt!

12:15 pm

jmcnrick

my sister thinks she can root me some from hers this spring. . .

12:15 pm

bichon

rooting forsythias is not hard

12:15 pm

bichon

yw sue

12:16 pm

jmcnrick

i am also going to try to get another cutting from the laurel bush from the house were my hubby spent his childhood. . .

12:16 pm

jmcnrick

they killed that too. . . .*sigh*

12:17 pm

bichon

that I've never done

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

that one i started from a cutting 28 years ago so i think it is doable. . .

12:19 pm

bichon

I've tried to root an Exbury Azaelea before with no luck

12:19 pm

jmcnrick

there is rooting material which he**s. . but i have never used it

12:20 pm

bichon

Rootenone? I've tried it, but it didn't work on the Azelea. With the forsythia, all you have to do is push down a branch and let it root

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

okay what word am i trying to spell. . .a flat circle and elipse?

12:21 pm

uusue2

ugh, Frank needs extra fluids and magnesium today, we will be here for a while (at the cancer center for what was supposed to be a short treatment)

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

oh too bad. . .

12:22 pm

bichon

That's a bummer sue

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

perhaps he will be cheered to know that chocolate is relatively high in magnesium so in the future he can self medicate!

12:23 pm

bichon

Can it be sweetened chocolate?

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

the sugar wouldn't take away the magnesium. . . .:-)

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

nuts and whole grains are relatively high in it too

TraderKate

good day to you all, hope you are all doing well.
how's the grid today?

12:41 pm

Riverdance

not too bad but I have now hit the wall with 24 to go

12:43 pm

TraderKate

oh boy... if you have hit a wall, i'm doomed ;)
will probably have to list with 100 to go, lol
i got fooled by yesterday's small puzzle and almost didn't finish... madly begging for clues at the last minute!

12:44 pm

Riverdance

I dont list anymore - just get what I can get and call it a day

12:45 pm

TraderKate

with the smaller grids we have had lately, i've been trying to go listless, just to make it last longer - sometimes i greatly misjudge how long it will take..

12:50 pm

Riverdance

16 left - back to work for me - have fun

12:51 pm

TraderKate

bye river

12:56 pm

TraderKate

Book Doctor Gwen

1:06 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

but i monkeyed an si6/7 combo, so i'm pleased with myself 8-)

1:07 pm

TraderKate

it's that kind of a day, very tired myself. too many gray skies for my liking. this is the winter that just won't quit!

1:08 pm

TraderKate

that's some monkey you've got there gwen. make sure to give him/her a special treat for the effort :)

1:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

hmm, we got bright shiny blue sky, but i'm still feeling listless (no pun intended)

1:09 pm

CiociaJudy

Howdy Gwen and Kate! Still missing 2 7's. Do either of you have them all?

1:10 pm

TraderKate

lol, good one! a nap cures almost everything... i think i will take 5 and make a warm bevvie, brb
hiya judy! looooong time no see!hope you are well.
i only have 3/5 of the 7's

1:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

CiociaJudy

{{Kate}} we missed you!

1:11 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

keep looking for the last three words from column two, and finding everything but

1:11 pm

CiociaJudy

Gwen, I'm exhausted anymore doing FarmVille. They keep adding more and more stuff

1:11 pm

CiociaJudy

oooo TY Molly

1:12 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ty molly, found the ex7 already 8-)

1:12 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all...

1:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the secret of farmville is to ignore most of the new stuff, pick something you like and just do that. i like chickens, dinosaurs, and making recipes, to name a few

1:13 pm

TraderKate

hi jill and molly :)
{{{(((judy))}}} miss you guys too, just no time to get dragged back into facebook atm.

1:13 pm

CiociaJudy

brb gotta do some work LOL

1:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and i promise i will not fill up the chog with farmville chat (!)

1:13 pm

TraderKate

they have dinosaurs now???? i may have to make my return ;)

1:15 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, yes, a whole slew of dinowaurs, and a whole slew of unicorns, too

1:16 pm

Jillyjill

<----gave up FB games years ago....too much of a time consumer

1:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

jilly, you are smarter than i am LOL

1:17 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...or maybe it's just that I'm slower at Babble and need the time...

1:18 pm

Jillyjill

Wow...grid great for me today...words just tumbling at me..nbt/nbs...Maybe I will have time for Farmville ;-)

1:18 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i stopped FV for 3 months and it feld good to take a break, but then i relapsed LOL

1:19 pm

MollyL

Relapsed is a good word. It must be very addictive. I know of a relationship that ended over his addiction to Farmville.

1:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well it's designed to be addictive, IMO

1:19 pm

Jillyjill

Everything in life is about priorities....

1:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and on that note, my priority is a nap. later, buds

1:23 pm

Jillyjill

See you later Gwen!

1:24 pm

CiociaJudy

1:26 pm

CiociaJudy

1:29 pm

TraderKate

well done judy. got a coffee, so now will read back in the chog and seek out my missing 7's as well :-)

1:31 pm

TraderKate

are the ho 7 and he 7 "normal words"?

1:32 pm

CiociaJudy

ho is; not so much with the he

1:32 pm

CiociaJudy

he is a plural

1:32 pm

Jillyjill

Don't have them yet....let me look

1:32 pm

CiociaJudy

but there is no he6 to go with the he7

1:32 pm

CiociaJudy

Hi Jilly

1:33 pm

TraderKate

hmmm, perhaps i will leave them for now and go fishing instead ;)

1:34 pm

MollyL

ho7 is very twisty

1:35 pm

Jillyjill

answer TK...no they are not "normal"

1:36 pm

MollyL

I think ho7 is a commonly known word

1:37 pm

TraderKate

thanks guys, the neighbours here at the internet cafe are doing something with fiberglass, nasty heady odour... that's my excuse for not seeing the words ;) can you give me the stats for the ho7 and he 7 please?

1:37 pm

CiociaJudy

he 7/36 and ho 7/40

1:39 pm

TraderKate

got the ho, thanks! think palliative care maybe?

1:39 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...found the ho7 very quickly...I used to work as a ho7/40 nurse

1:40 pm

MollyL

But you don't think that is a normal word?

1:40 pm

TraderKate

just monkeyed the he 7! wooot!

1:40 pm

Jillyjill

I do stand corrected...had just finished the he's

1:42 pm

Jillyjill

okay, stopping for lunch...bbl today for the last 55

1:42 pm

Jillyjill

Yay TK!!

1:42 pm

TraderKate

the plural of mice is mices...
so if the greek sun god got little pests in his hair it might be the he 7/36 ;)

1:42 pm

TraderKate

thanks jill, see you later/friday

1:46 pm

MollyL

he7 is a plural for a DNA strand

1:47 pm

TraderKate

it is too! are you finished molly?

1:47 pm

MollyL

And mice is the plural of mouse. There is no plural for mice.

1:47 pm

TraderKate

swoosh and swish do NOT exist in the grid... so stop trying to enter them kate....

1:48 pm

Michnick

It's ok, they exist in my reality too

1:48 pm

TraderKate

lol, i do know that molly, mice is the plural
did you know the plural of moose is meece? lololol

1:49 pm

TraderKate

hi michnick, how's the grid treating you today?

1:49 pm

Michnick

Not bad, but I still have 39 left and I really should go make a vegetable/lentil soup for my vegetarian daughter.

1:50 pm

Michnick

Does anyone have the lone "s" in the second column?

1:50 pm

TraderKate

oh, stay and babble with us! is she not old enough to make her own soup?

1:51 pm

TraderKate

i do, but i will have to figure out which word it is in the list...

1:51 pm

Michnick

She is but her best friend is getting engaged tomorrow night and she has been baking non-stop at her friend's house. She is going to come home starving after her dance class.

1:52 pm

TraderKate

it may be so 4/4 --- the black stuff in chimneys

1:52 pm

Michnick

No, that is from the s in the top row, third column.

1:52 pm

CiociaJudy

it could also be the s4/4 - drunks

1:52 pm

TraderKate

busy girl, your daughter... nice of you to "be the mom" a little tlc is always good

1:53 pm

Michnick

She is busy, and I try so hard to let her have her fun, being the mom will come soon enough in her life.

1:53 pm

BzznBea

Try so4/8 to plant

1:53 pm

TraderKate

that's probably it judy it's definitely an so word

1:54 pm

Michnick

What is the second letter, an "O"?

1:54 pm

CiociaJudy

1:54 pm

Michnick

Yay Judi, that was it!

2:15 pm

Jillyjill

I eat 3 sm meals and 3 snacks/day usually...try to keep tummy satisfied so I don't 'munch'

2:16 pm

TraderKate

well, you've got it covered pretty well, a bit of protein, a bit of fat, some fibre and tons of vitamin c

2:17 pm

Jillyjill

My friend let me know of a great smart phone app (free-Droid or iPhone) that really helps manage and healthily balance diet/exercise....it's called My Fitness Pal

2:18 pm

TraderKate

alas, no fancy phone here. sounds good though - and free is always good :)

2:19 pm

Jillyjill

Yes...I hate counting calories..it has one downside-doesn't note 'good' sugar (fruit) from 'bad' sugar (white)

2:20 pm

cybernan

2:32 pm

windingwake

Hi TK--no, I've been flipping over to this tab all day. I'm down to 26, but it's pretty slow when I keep having to hide it behind work email to talk to people =)

2:32 pm

TraderKate

..and it's all about challenging yourself ;-)

2:32 pm

crosshair

howdy david,there is no average,many words can often be had quickly in the early going but hours can pass for the last ten without aid

2:37 pm

windingwake

There's es 5 and 6, an et 5, and an ex7 down there

2:38 pm

TraderKate

2:38 pm

TraderKate

thank you winding, it's the et 5 that i'm missing.. hunting

3:08 pm

smores

3:08 pm

windingwake

ah, ty, got it

3:09 pm

TraderKate

isn't it a bit chilly for camping????
what are you, a canuck??? lol ;)

3:09 pm

TraderKate

crossy would commiserate -down to 2 now - both c words!

3:10 pm

smores

lol...a little bit

3:10 pm

smores

go TK go :)

3:10 pm

smores

woohoo..found my last P

3:11 pm

TraderKate

wtg smores :)

3:15 pm

Michnick

I'm back, soup is on the fire - onions, garlic, celery, carrots, potato, kholrabi, spinach and lentils! Lucky daughter!! ;-)

3:15 pm

smores

sounds yummy Mich

3:16 pm

Michnick

I just hope it's finished before she gets home.

3:19 pm

windingwake

I gave in to the list. But finished my C's!

3:19 pm

MollyL

Some people like camping...some people like camping in the cold...me...I like hotel rooms by the beach : D

3:20 pm

TraderKate

fireworks, thanks lickety!

3:20 pm

smores

WTG TK !!! woohoo :)

3:20 pm

Michnick

I'm with you Molly, but even more my DH. He always suggests vacations with us (the mom & dad) taking a hotel room and the kids camping nearby on the beach. The funny thing is that they would probably love it (and come to us to use the toilet and the shower)

3:21 pm

TraderKate

i have 40 minutes to clue/hint before closing... and of course salivate over mich's soup ;)

3:21 pm

Michnick

Alll right Kate!!

3:21 pm

Michnick

Awww. (Michnick being humble)

3:22 pm

TraderKate

no shame in using the list - it is merely a tool to accomplish our objective... trouncing the t's etc.

3:23 pm

windingwake

I know, I've just been trying to wean, heh.

3:23 pm

MollyL

The list, getting clues from chat, it's all the same. No shame in any of it if you need help.

3:24 pm

smores

nope...not at all winding :)

3:24 pm

TraderKate

me too, with the small ones anyway. i cut it far too close yesterday though, and by thre time i grabbed up all the clues floating around got fw, there wasn't any time left to pay back the favour...

3:24 pm

Michnick

I still think finishing is a major accomplishment. I won't go to the list unless I'm more than halfway because I figure at that point it's just too much grunt work.

3:25 pm

smores

We originally were tent camping, but since it's still chilly we're staying in a small cabin

3:25 pm

MollyL

Finishing is a major accomplishment. No question about that.

3:26 pm

windingwake

Heh, in which case... anyone have a clue for the first ho?

3:26 pm

TraderKate

most of us would be bald from tearing our hair out in frustration if lickety, more words etc. wasn't there for help.. and of course the thorobreds at the flip that can do these grids at lightening speed.. ;)

3:26 pm

smores

Jezebel maybe...not sure if she was the 1st winding

3:27 pm

Michnick

think of german home, or socks with an extra vowel, wake

3:27 pm

TraderKate

ho 5/12
insert the seeing vowel into the rubber water delivery tube

3:27 pm

windingwake

Ah! ty everyone

3:28 pm

smores

:D...sorry, couldn't help it

3:28 pm

TraderKate

rhymes with an "adult diaper" brand

3:28 pm

smores

lol

3:28 pm

Michnick

Hmm, interesting association, kate.

3:28 pm

windingwake

Heh. Now all I'm missing is a T and about 82 S's.

3:28 pm

TraderKate

lol @ smores - very clever ;)

3:29 pm

smores

:)

3:29 pm

TraderKate

et 6/18 minus the first vowel

3:30 pm

TraderKate

i will to 4/4 a few more clues... lob them like hand grenades ;)

3:30 pm

Michnick

Thanks Kate, now I have 3 ss's left

5:43 pm

Nef

Good Evening, Everyone. How are you all on this sun-shiney (but cold) day?

5:45 pm

Nef

I had to take DH somewhere about noon today and there were some high school-aged kids walking somewhere wearing short sleeves and shorts; and it was just 40 degrees (F) outside at the time.

5:46 pm

Nef

(Crazy Minnesota teens!)

5:46 pm

stidgmere

Can't blame teenness on Minnesota.

5:47 pm

Nef

very true, stidg. But I'd think they would have some Common Sense!

5:47 pm

stidgmere

We are comfortable in the the gray/green of the great Nothwest.

5:48 pm

stidgmere

I bought castantets yesterday. What do I know about common sense?

5:48 pm

Nef

is it that cold there?

5:48 pm

MollyL

Common sense...oh how I miss common sense.

5:48 pm

Nef

LOL! They sound like fun! (I have a set of zills myself)

5:49 pm

stidgmere

What are zills? Mine or Ludwig castanets. What do Germans know about flamenco?

5:49 pm

MollyL

Ooo, Gran Mere is a secret Spanish dancer. : D

5:50 pm

stidgmere

I actually did try a few steps, Molly (In the privacy of my own living room). Pretty pitiful but the actual castanent playing improved 100% since my first try yesterday.

5:50 pm

Nef

zills are the small finger cymbals used in Eastern Mediterranian music (often used by belly dancers, but I'm not a belly dancer)

5:51 pm

MollyL

So you have a flair for percussion Gran Mere. Good for you.

5:52 pm

Nef

Flamingo dancing sounds interesting....

5:52 pm

stidgmere

Oh, I saw the finger cymbals on the same rack but focused on the castanets as there are two measures in the Baccanale that call for a bit of rhythm.

5:53 pm

stidgmere

Molly, I am not fantastic but just willing to try.

5:53 pm

MollyL

It's all about being willing to try. The rest comes later.

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

*tap tap tap tappity tap tap tap* *clap clap clap clappity clap clap clap*

5:54 pm

Nef

are you going to use them in your concert, stidg?

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

i is willing to try most anything!

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

5:54 pm

Nef

hi jmc! Lovely dance there on entering!

5:54 pm

Nef

:-)

5:54 pm

MollyL

JMC joins in on the spoons. : P

5:55 pm

stidgmere

Oh jmc. Yes, you've got it. Righty, righty, lefty, lefty. (Did you know the right castanent is slightly higher in pitch than the left one?)

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

ty ty i remembers well the flamenco party over my head in Buenos Aires

5:55 pm

stidgmere

Swirling, tapping, dipping, laughing. I think we've got it.

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

i did not know that buy i did always think i heard a difference

5:55 pm

Nef

really,stidg? So you have to put them on the correct hands even? Wow;

5:56 pm

jmcnrick

the spoons are a great instrument. . .where my saw?

5:56 pm

MollyL

*Takes deep breaths and joins in on the jug*

5:56 pm

Nef

I used to play spoons; haven't tried in a long time

5:56 pm

stidgmere

Yes. Who would have thought left and right castanets? Not me until yesterday. Oh how I love learning new things.

5:57 pm

jmcnrick

*where is. . . i would hate to be caught in a grammatical error! heaven forfend!

5:57 pm

stidgmere

Empty the jug first, molly. Oh my. Maybe not.

5:57 pm

MollyL

Now we need a washboard player. Come on down!

5:57 pm

jmcnrick

*twang twang twangady twang*

5:58 pm

jmcnrick

saws is just a slow instrument no matter what!

5:59 pm

MollyL

Twang twang twangady twang are the three repeating chords in every country western song.

5:59 pm

jmcnrick

that's because really country music started with saws. . .

6:00 pm

MollyL

Along with lyrics about an old hound dog or a cheatin' heart.

6:00 pm

stidgmere

Western flamenco (or not).

6:00 pm

Nef

what happens when you play a country western song backwards?

6:00 pm

jmcnrick

hey watch it i is a hank williams fan

6:01 pm

MollyL

Ever since someone said that Murphy's forearms make a heart, that is all I see when I look at his picture.
: D

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

i'll bite nef. . . what?

6:01 pm

Nef

the guy gets his truck, the girl and his dog back! <bows deep>

6:01 pm

jmcnrick

haha

6:02 pm

Nef

(that was my one and only Country western joke

6:02 pm

stidgmere

Oh, yes. Murphy is our Valentine.

6:02 pm

stidgmere

Did you know that when you can play a song backwards, you can play it forwards much more proficiently. I didn't know that until recently. Try it, it works.

6:02 pm

jmcnrick

i have several but they are too long for even me to tell in the chog. . .

6:03 pm

jmcnrick

well it was a nice break. . . i will bbl. . . .

6:03 pm

Nef

6:03 pm

stidgmere

By jmc Always nice seeing you.

8:57 pm

CSS = cascading style sheet, which controls how the information is displayed, the information is the HTML

reading youricon info,jes,good to see you guys and gals are fostering pets now.we have done that for years with a no kill policy till forever homes can be found for the fur babies.only problem is the local animal shelter has to have a vet pretty well chained up in the basement full time when the foster load is heavy:)

9:08 pm

jesdraggon

i've been fostering pets since before you knew me, cross... all the kitties i've tried to pawn off on you were fosters :)

9:09 pm

MollyL

Yes Jes, we Americans actually do nice things for pets and people. Who knew? : D

9:10 pm

jesdraggon

i'm limited by space to one or two at a time... if i had more moneys, i'd build a small shelter, but sooo many issues with that.

9:11 pm

crosshair

stange things can happen,molly

9:11 pm

CrackersNTea

hello all

9:11 pm

jesdraggon

fireworks! last word was st5/10

9:11 pm

jesdraggon

i deserve a cookie for that, brb :)

9:11 pm

crosshair

think there are about 100 out on foster atm.my son volunteers there from time to time

9:12 pm

jesdraggon

ok, i'm back and available for cluing :)

9:13 pm

crosshair

so,your shelters do fostering,jess or just you?

9:13 pm

jesdraggon

we have 2 fosters right now, crossy, the horse that I still haven't offloaded from over a year ago, and now the mastiff

9:13 pm

jesdraggon

i am my own non-profit, crossy

9:13 pm

MollyL

*Passes a plate of cookies to Jes*

9:13 pm

Inge2

i have a question for you folks who foster...(and you are wonderful)...who do find to take care of the fosters when you go on vacation?

9:14 pm

crosshair

what i mean are the large ponds/shelters.are they set up for fostering?

9:14 pm

jesdraggon

I was spending enough time and money on random injured animals that i decided i should be able to write it off of my taxes

9:14 pm

crosshair

pounds

9:14 pm

jesdraggon

vacation, inge? is that an English word? I'm not familiar with it...

9:14 pm

jesdraggon

there are no large shelters in this county, crossy.

9:14 pm

crosshair

in most caseswe pop them back in the shelter for a week.sometimes they even get adopted while we are away

9:14 pm

Inge2

ah, i guess that answers that, jes

9:15 pm

CrackersNTea

I think it depends, crossy. Our local shelter fosters, but not all do.

9:15 pm

jesdraggon

there are a few small rescues that periodically work together and periodically feud...

9:15 pm

Inge2

interesting, crosshair. it's something that keeps me from fostering

9:15 pm

crosshair

thta is what i was trying to get at,jess.we have regional shelters.ours has a capacity of around 200 cats and 100 dogs or so

9:16 pm

jesdraggon

actually, that's more to do with my real job and the permanent animals than the fosters, inge... i own a veterinary clinic, which eats all of my time, and have a plethora of animals in addition to the fosters.

9:16 pm

Inge2

you are a vet, jes?

9:16 pm

jesdraggon

closest shelter we have approaching that size is next county down, about 55 miles away. I have never worked with them, but think they have foster homes.

9:16 pm

crosshair

sadly a lot of cat dumping still goes on here,hence the large numbers

9:17 pm

jesdraggon

yes, inge. at least in this state, you have to be a veterinarian to own a veterinary clinic. i don't know if that's the case in other states.

9:17 pm

crosshair

but all are getting microchipped now,so this should ease.no one wants a dumped cat traced back to their door

9:20 pm

crosshair

good deal actually 175 for a cat 225 for a kitten ,all shots,flea treated if needed ,microchipped collar,tags kitty bed,i 5 pound bag of good vet dry food and a kitty blanked knitted by volunteers

9:20 pm

jesdraggon

desexed, too, i assume?

9:21 pm

cgypsy

hi all

9:21 pm

crosshair

yup,cetificate for when age is right for it to be done for kittens

9:21 pm

crosshair

cats are done before pick up

9:22 pm

jesdraggon

hi cgypsy :)

9:22 pm

crosshair

dogs are less of an issue it seems.last i checked there were 4 in house

9:22 pm

cgypsy

:) hi jes

9:23 pm

jesdraggon

i could send them some if they're short, crossy :)

9:23 pm

crosshair

lol,only if you take 30 or 40 cats

9:24 pm

jesdraggon

hmm. i'm not sure i'd win that deal; see above re: limited space/no kennels!

9:24 pm

jesdraggon

also the hubby would object somewhat

9:25 pm

crosshair

we had to raise donations for this new shelter.town supplied the land.the local builders did the construction and the town matched donations dollar for dollar.tokk most of a year or so

9:25 pm

penquis

one word left....can i get a clue for the first sp 5/12 word please?

9:26 pm

jesdraggon

a canned speech

9:27 pm

crosshair

before that we had a local resident donate the use of an entire house that still had water and heat but was put on hold for demolition till the new shelter was done

9:50 pm

MollyL

Who wants streusel topping on a sandwich?

9:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

apparently SOMEONE thinks someone does :/

9:52 pm

MollyL

That is just gross. This combining sweet and savory thing has gone too far.

9:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

Molly it was the baker's error. overpriced sandwich anyway. they gave me the wrong side to boot. That will kill that craving probably for good. N more bacon turkey bravo.

jess, was just reading a story about a cat rescued from great falls in Paterson nj on Monday. I am wodnering if it was before or after I was there. he wither fell or was thrown (more likely since it is hard to believe that a cat would be nosing around noisy spraying water). They named him lucky

10:24 pm

jesdraggon

any injuries/hypothermia?

10:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

no but pretty thin, probably trapped a while. very sweet, did not even fight the rescuers. is this a sign? is it time for a cat for me again? they probably wont' do an interstate adoption

10:28 pm

jesdraggon

most of the high-profile rescues have dozens of folks signing up to adopt them... but if reading about him makes you want to look into another cat, you could take it as a sign that it's time to visit your local rescues :)

10:33 pm

jesdraggon

you can do it, sandy!

10:34 pm

sandyloo

Lol doesnt matter I have to go somewhere soon

10:34 pm

jesdraggon

heh, no, his breed is Fila Brasiliero. Hellhound is my affectionate name for him because he is a huge, blundering menace

10:34 pm

jesdraggon

he almost took my leg out today, just by accidentally shouldering me while playing

10:35 pm

sandyloo

that is a breed I have never heard of. My son in law has a rottweiler which is very large and heavy so i can relate to that

10:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh, jess! there are lambs on the lamb-cam! the one Lilian told us about

10:36 pm

jesdraggon

Little John is 7 months old, and 115 pounds. and not fat.

10:37 pm

jesdraggon

he's on the large end for the breed, but they're not really known for being compact...

10:37 pm

i don't know what lamb-cam that is, TO, sorry.

10:37 pm

do you have a link?

Hubby is going to love this when he sees it. (He's napping on the couch right now.) We were watching a kitten cam a few months ago. These things are VERY distracting! ;-)

We don't have a lot of that here. (Suburb of Los Angeles). However, a distant neighbor has recently gotten some chickens, and we hear the rooster crow every day. He loves it. I keep telling him that's only because they're far enough away so the noise is "cute."

it's pricey, for sure. they got sold two arlington va properties when they married & moved.

Also, you don't get a lot of land for your $$. We're both from NY and it was shocking to me how little space you get here.
