Lizlin

Me too - won't accept words

2:18 am

puglet

2:18 am

Glantarell

and 3 hours later it usualy throws a tantrum and refuses to play ay all for a few minutes.

2:19 am

puglet

2:32 am

Glantarell

ah

2:33 am

Lizlin

It might have another meaning but that's how I recognise it!

2:33 am

Glantarell

re6/18 - odd one - sounds like to give yourself guns again but with an extra e as 2/3 letter and a different consonant at the end

2:34 am

Lizlin

That is a weird word - I worked it from your clue, very easily. Thanks.

2:34 am

Glantarell

ri6 - sounds like more ribs but only one b

2:38 am

Glantarell

2:38 am

Glantarell

fever?

2:38 am

Lizlin

I just keep seeing it but I know it's not there! My phantom I guess.

2:39 am

Glantarell

i had a couple pf phantoms but when i typed them in - just in case - they were actually there LOL

2:39 am

Glantarell

i just couldn;t see the routes they were taking through the grid

2:39 am

Lizlin

A bit like I'd like Brer to be a word, as in Brer Rabbit!

2:40 am

Glantarell

i tried that one

2:40 am

Lizlin

Good thing you checked out the phantoms!

2:40 am

Glantarell

tr5 - to go wandering or on a jourey, minus the last letter

7:34 am

Riverdance

Mom was not careful

7:34 am

Mom

Ah, yes.

7:34 am

Mom

And that was my first word

7:34 am

carleekat

mum just dove in without looking

7:34 am

Riverdance

mine too...lol!

7:35 am

Mom

I should pay better attention

7:35 am

Riverdance

Mom you are whooping my butt in slingo

7:36 am

Anniebrook

I almost fell for it. Hi ((Mom and Rdance))

7:36 am

carleekat

is there strategy to slingo?..i played a bit and lost interest

7:36 am

Riverdance

Hi Annie

7:37 am

Mom

I didn't think so, I will have to check it out. I wish it would not take so long to load. If it loads at all

7:37 am

Anniebrook

When I got my first computer Slingo was about the only game on line. I didnt think it was still around. That was about 15 years ago.

7:37 am

Riverdance

I love slingo.....I dont know about strategy when playing against someone ....there are some tricks to get through the levels on your own

7:37 am

Mom

(((((Annie))))))) good morning.

7:38 am

Riverdance

I know last night was another problem night with loading. I wonder if it has something to do with the levels we are now on

7:38 am

Mom

Carlee, like most things I just jump right in.

7:38 am

Riverdance

Maybe need to clean out my internest history and cookies

7:38 am

Mom

I am not playing levels. I am just playing against you Nd Peri

7:38 am

Riverdance

*internet

7:39 am

Mom

I think they need to update their end of it. The more people on it the slower it is

7:39 am

Mom

Anddddddddd it will mot work on the ipad.

7:39 am

Riverdance

oh, I play all my points out each night...and up to stage 4 in level 34.....I get 165 points a day plus whatever I win

7:40 am

Anniebrook

Doesn't sounds like the old Slingo I know

7:40 am

Riverdance

I do the challenges from you and Peri first and then go to the levels

7:40 am

Mom

When I started there were only a few thousand playing now it is in the millions

7:40 am

Riverdance

I dont think so Annie - this game just came on Zinga about 2 years ago or even less

7:41 am

Mom

I use to play like that but I was burning up hours

7:41 am

Riverdance

has anyone found that 4th column E yet?

7:41 am

carleekat

You tube is my friend for things like that.

7:57 am

lynxxx

I bought the Berocco Babies and Toddlers and half the patterns are crochet...and though I generally don't like crochet (bad 70s memories!) some of the patterns are very cute

7:58 am

hurshy

well well how is everyone on this babble-icious morning

7:58 am

lynxxx

My daughter learned to knit on UTube - couldn't learn from me

7:58 am

hurshy

or afternoon or evening as the case may be

7:58 am

Mom

:-( lynxxx

7:58 am

Mom

Morning Hurshy

7:58 am

BzznBea

You Tube is a great resource. You could also search amazon for a good crochet term book to help.

7:58 am

lynxxx

hi Hursh - cold and wet here - not sure what you are talking about

7:59 am

hurshy

oh well it is supposed to be a beautiful day here

7:59 am

Mom

My mom couldn't teach me to crochet as I am keft handed

7:59 am

hurshy

yeah those kefts will get you every time...

7:59 am

Mom

I had a great crochet book, currently on loan to a friend.

8:00 am

lynxxx

so do you crochet from right to left?

8:00 am

BzznBea

My mom taught me to sew and she is left handed. Now my pins go in all directions.

8:00 am

Mom

Having trouble typing this morning :-)

8:00 am

bichon

I cannot be taught any sewing, knitting or crocheting. Hopeless

8:01 am

Mom

Starting out I crochet left to right

8:02 am

Mom

never Bichon! You need to come to our library where there is a group of ladies that can teach you anything you want to learn

8:02 am

lynxxx

I am sure you have other talents Bichon. I just find knitting relaxing

8:02 am

hurshy

top i help?

8:02 am

bichon

Yes, I do. Just very uncoordinated

8:02 am

Mom

I have learned hand quilting, crochet and knitting from them

8:02 am

bichon

8:05 am

hurshy

oh duh thanks lynxxx

8:05 am

BzznBea

We took the cat in the wall to the vet yesterday. Was hoping we would find out that it was a female as I do not want a male cat.

8:06 am

lynxxx

mmm you had a surprise cat stuck in the wall?

8:06 am

bichon

Isn't it obvious in a mammal?

8:06 am

BzznBea

Not obvious in a small feline, bichon.

8:06 am

Judi

Good morning,all.

8:07 am

hurshy

male cats can be so lovey, when neutered.

8:07 am

lynxxx

hi Judi

8:07 am

Judi

So, was the vet able to determine the sex of the cat?

8:07 am

wvteach

good morning all

8:07 am

bichon

guess I'm not too up on cats. It's really obvious in dogs

8:07 am

BzznBea

Yes, lyn, it was a kitten that fell behind the siding on our house. Had to tear off the siding to rescue him.

8:07 am

hurshy

i was surprised, my marty is the loviest kitty ever.

8:08 am

BzznBea

Wally is a male.

8:08 am

lynxxx

hi wv

8:08 am

bichon

Did that story make the newspapers Bea

8:08 am

Judi

Hee hee. "Wally". As long as you have him neutered, he won't spray or do other unsociable things.

8:09 am

BzznBea

My thought was that if it was a he we would give him to a rescue.

8:09 am

hurshy

seriously, why you not want a male?

8:09 am

BzznBea

It did not make the newspaper, bichon. That was just a small slice of what happened in my neigborhood that day.

8:09 am

hurshy

do you have these misperceptions?

8:09 am

lynxxx

and your decision now...or has he already fouind a place in your heart?

8:10 am

BzznBea

Wally will not be leaving. Now way can I give him up.

8:10 am

hurshy

oh good. if you have him neutered i am sure you will not be sorry!

8:10 am

lynxxx

lol...I should have guessed that because you gave him a name

8:10 am

mixi6

good.

8:10 am

bichon

I've found, with dogs, that neutering didn't always stop the marking. It's a dominance issue

8:11 am

Judi

Lucky Wally. Good on you, Bzzn.

8:11 am

BzznBea

I guess so, hurshy. I've always had females and they are wonderful.

8:11 am

mixi6

I have a neutered male cat. he does not spray.

8:12 am

mixi6

nbt

8:12 am

BzznBea

Our male dog thinks the kitten is his baby.

8:12 am

hurshy

marty is SO DOMESTICATED

8:13 am

lynxxx

thats so cute Bzzn

8:13 am

hurshy

i can't even explain how unimaginable it is that he would misbehave

8:16 am

bichon

Today I pick up my foster dog, Ben from the Animal Hospital. He had bladder stones removed and most of his teeth removed. I can't imagine how miserable he's going to be.

8:17 am

hurshy

:(

8:17 am

BzznBea

Poor Ben.

8:17 am

Judi

Oh, poor Ben! Looks like mushy food in his future.

8:17 am

bichon

I have to keep him quiet for at least a week. I just can't imagine

8:17 am

lynxxx

oh dear poor Ben

8:17 am

bichon

I've been giving him mushy food cause his teeth were so bad

8:18 am

BzznBea

Our Emilio had a lot of his gums cut back. He wasn't as miserable as we thought.

8:18 am

bichon

I also have to keep Marco and Polo from goading him into action

8:18 am

lynxxx

ZIs he an inside dog Bichon...he probably won't want to run around for a few days anyway

8:19 am

Judi

They are amazingly resiliant. Assume he has some pain meds for a little while.

8:21 am

bichon

No, Ben likes to walk with us.

Congrats, UU! Have a blessed day!

8:28 am

uusue2

hahaha, don't worry about it, hurshy, I posted a lot about my son a year or so ago

8:28 am

bichon

Somebody thought Ben was my son and when I was talking about him having stones in his penis, they were shocked that I would reveal such personal information

8:28 am

uusue2

thanks judi and aloy!

8:28 am

lynxxx

lol Bichon

8:28 am

hurshy

so your son was the one who was sick a year ago, right sue?

8:28 am

lynxxx

hi Aloy

8:28 am

hurshy

no bichon, i was just glad it was NOT your son :)

8:29 am

uusue2

he wasn't sick but he had a lot of girlfriend trouble. Frank's been sick since last fall.

8:29 am

hurshy

oh, ok, son gf trouble. frank sick, marrying. still sick?

8:29 am

bichon

If I gave that information out about my son on the internet and he found out, he'd never talk to me again

8:29 am

Judi

*facepalm* for Bichon's story. I don't even think it's possible to get stones "in there".

8:29 am

uusue2

yes, he has cancer, hurshy, and has been in chemo since just before Christmas

8:30 am

hurshy

is the prognosis good or...?

8:30 am

crosshair

there is,judi,if they make you try and pass them naturally and they get stuck.i was whizzing blood with my stones

8:30 am

lynxxx

TMI Cross!

8:30 am

Judi

Ahg! Ahg! TMI!

8:31 am

uusue2

it's ok, hurshy, they got everything in surgery but it had started to spread, hence the chemo.

8:31 am

hurshy

quote from Psych: "I know, I know, TMI, 'tell more information'"

8:31 am

crosshair

one the bright side it gives you an entirely new respect for the amount of fluid intake you have to prevent this again

8:31 am

BzznBea

Just what I wanted to know, Mr. Hair.

8:31 am

lynxxx

Ahg - is that like an asian agh?

8:31 am

bichon

My daughter had kidney stones when she was pregnant. No future pregnancies for her

8:32 am

8:33 am

crosshair

lol,poor delicate judi

8:34 am

Judi

Nah. I'm really not that delicate. I'm actually more worried about the pending invasion of 17 year cicadas. *shudder*

8:35 am

BzznBea

Did anyone see Molly yesterday?

8:35 am

crosshair

ew,,nevermind cancer or stones.ewwww,bugs!

8:35 am

Judi

lol. I know. My perspective is so skewed.

8:36 am

crosshair

lol,with my beloved it is spider and bats

8:37 am

Judi

And now there is a whole bunch of people talking about how smart it would be if we all ate bugs. Yerrrgh.

8:38 am

crosshair

witht the bats it started with her as a teen.she had and still has beautiful ong hair down to her waist and one day she was at a outdoor fire pit party and right at dusk a bat flew too low and got stuck in here hair,she freaked out so badly she ended up hitting the bat with her fist and killing it in her hair.her parents hauled her into the house and had to cut this dead,bleeding bat out

8:38 am

uusue2

well, sorry to leave this tasty discussion but I have a 9:00 meeting and must run - see you all later!

8:38 am

Judi

Ewwww! That does sound traumatic - especially for the bat.

8:39 am

crosshair

well,yes,but the bat only had to experience it once...

8:39 am

Uneaixoise

judi, during a bout of 17yr cicadas here in Nashville back in the 80s, my dog gained 5 pounds!! LOL

8:45 am

crosshair

i am glad we do not have these cicadas here

8:45 am

crosshair

too busy eating bugs eh?

8:45 am

Uneaixoise

they don't hurt anything -- they're just creepy!

8:45 am

crosshair

still,do not need plagues of anything!

8:45 am

Judi

LOL, Une. Yuck. But, animals do find them delicious. Recently, I have heard cicadas referred to as "land shrimp". Yeah. Right.

8:46 am

mixi6

I heard the cicadas when I lived in Cincinnati. They drown out the car engine noises.

8:46 am

Judi

That's probably why dogs eat them - just to shut them up.

8:47 am

Uneaixoise

it's a nightmare for brides with outdoor weddings, house painters, lawnmowing guys, etc.

8:48 am

mixi6

They were serving them fried in the city center.

8:48 am

Uneaixoise

some lawnmowing guys refuse to cut grass till they're gone -- the sound of the ride mower attracts them big time!!

8:49 am

Judi

Love your picture of Mabel, Une. She looks adorable.

8:49 am

Uneaixoise

she was soooo sweet

8:51 am

Judi

Off to do some real work. BBL. *POOF*

8:51 am

Uneaixoise

she was rescued from a breeder -- had 8 litters in 8 yrs :-(

8:52 am

crosshair

no rest? a breeder or a mill?

8:55 am

Uneaixoise

I was just told "used as breeder" -- and vet said she'd had possibly 100 puppies . . .

8:55 am

Uneaixoise

at least she'll have a few years of love and good care

8:56 am

crosshair

we have what we hope are some good laws in place now to prevent this.ontario pet stores can no longer sell cats or dogs.they instead refer you to a shelter or a govt inspected registered breeder that must undergo all the inspections and have the proper permits

8:57 am

Uneaixoise

unfortunately we have laws but crappy enforcement

8:57 am

crosshair

:((

8:58 am

Uneaixoise

asd you know, it's all about greed . . .

8:58 am

crosshair

indeed:(

8:59 am

mixi6

won't happen here. They seem to want less government. less regulations.

8:59 am

crosshair

our adoption rate is coming along nicely thanks to help from local vets who give of their time and the fact that all adopted pets now come fixed,all shots.flea treatments for one year if needed and microchipped all fo under 150 dollars in most cases,with raised money going back to caring for those still in the shelter

9:02 am

Uneaixoise

yes, the rescued dogs I transport have been neutered (unless puppies, which will be neutered when old enough), given shots, usually microchipped, treated for heartworm if needed, etc.

9:03 am

Uneaixoise

yes, bless the vets who give of their services ( or for a nominal fee)!

9:04 am

crosshair

vets are the best!

9:04 am

Uneaixoise

9:12 am

11:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

I wanted to buy all the kitch

11:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

kitsch.

11:11 am

crosshair

because people laughed at the napolean statues?

11:11 am

Kaplan the Magne

There were rows and rows of bobblehead figurines. they were hysterical.

11:12 am

crosshair

can you get a bobblehead pope?

11:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

I think they were bobble-head. My family dragged me past all the garbage, and I was most interested in the garbage.

11:14 am

crosshair

can you get soap carved in the shape of the new fella? put it on a string and you can have pope on a rope for your shower because as they say clenliness is next to glodliness:)

11:31 am

puglet

Iam not being hurtful towards you Kaplan,but I dont know what you are babbling about.Sorry for my shortness of your way of talking

11:33 am

Kaplan the Magne

in old babble culture we could not say ra4 hat because it is a word in the grid. SO there is something called a penalty box where one is sent and where there is lots of food.

11:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

but maybe these things are no longer operative.

11:34 am

crosshair

i just go with the flow

11:35 am

crosshair

if i want a nice tight game with little or no cluing(or just stats only) i play the grid at the flip

11:35 am

They are still operative, Kaplan!

11:35 am

I flow with the romans.

12:42 pm

jmcnrick

hi mimi

12:42 pm

crosshair

((mimi))

12:43 pm

jmcnrick

i am afraid i think there is something fundamentally wrong with burning books. . . if i have books i can't give away i take them to be recycled. . . but i guess burning them is sorta recycling if you use them to cook or keep warm. . .

12:44 pm

crosshair

if i had a boiler i could make steam and generate electricity

12:44 pm

crosshair

not to worry.will not burn them.will set up freetable by sidewalk tomorrow

12:44 pm

jmcnrick

yeah. . . even if they make electricity it leaves kinda a bad taste. . .

12:45 pm

crosshair

lol

12:45 pm

Jillyjill

Any book worth burning is a book worth reading. I am totally opposed to the usual reason for book burning...

12:45 pm

crosshair

like i say.they will not be burnt. i am sure they will go fast

12:45 pm

cybernan

haven't read any Danielle Steele books - are they really that bad?

12:46 pm

crosshair

some say danielle steele is stephen king with breasts,but i read part of one and just do not see it

12:50 pm

MimiCat

{{crossy}} I agree....never understood how Danielle Steele got to be so popular. But then, many people like lots of sugar in their food, too. Never underestimate the human capacity for bad taste.

12:50 pm

12:55 pm

Jillyjill

Ok, how about Ken Follett?

12:56 pm

MimiCat

But my favorite author for the past few years is Janet Evanovich and her Stephanie Plum series...am on #19 now. It's the most fun you can have reading. I also really like James Patterson.

12:56 pm

jmcnrick

i am found of a romance writer named Julia Quinn. . . her early books are the usual tripe but her later ones are funny and touching and well written. . .

12:57 pm

MimiCat

My favorite book of the last few years was "The Lovely Bones." Very compelling. They made a movie out of it but it just didn't ring true to me---except for Stanley Tucci who was chilling.

12:58 pm

crosshair

anyone know the author of the fantasy "liveship" series? i surprisingly had great fun and much enjoyment reading that

12:58 pm

jmcnrick

good attitude pug!

12:58 pm

Jillyjill

I'm reading Copper Beach by Maeve Binchy right now

12:59 pm

jmcnrick

besides baseball books which you would probably really ha** to like baseball for my favorite is A Guide to the Birds of East Africa by Nicholas Drayson.

12:59 pm

MimiCat

JMC, you might like Elizabeth Lowell's books. Extremely well done combination of romance and intrigue.

12:59 pm

My favorite historical romance writer is Amanda Quick (aka Jayne Ann Krentz). Her book "Surrender" is fantastic. Can't find at usual book stores but can order any of these from alibris.com for about 99 cents....great resource for books, CD's, DVD's.

1:01 pm

1:02 pm

jmcnrick

i like amanda quick some of the time. . .i will look for surrender. . . i buy from better world books where they donate books to others. . .the books tend to cost me about 2 to 3 dollars. . .

1:03 pm

Jillyjill

Jillyjill

Molly ribs me about being a good catholic girl...

4:37 pm

Nef

Oh, well; if it's only in jest....

4:39 pm

Nef

Oh darn. DH says we need to go to the hardware store to buy some rabbit fencing; and we need to go now to plant some more strawberry plants this evening. BBL I guess (at least I made it past half way!
