crosshair
good morning everyone:)) i got caught up in a interesting old film that was being streamed on crackle.it is the original 1937 production of lost horizons directed by frank copra.was very interesting in an early sort of gone with the wind type way:)
6:36 am
crosshair
nice unusual aj 4/9:)
6:36 am
Kazzer99
hi all - that is a brill film Crossy
6:36 am
crosshair
i quite enjoyed it:)
6:39 am
crosshair
and the history behind the film is even more interesting.how they came this close to losing the entire film due to time and degredation.how it was edited many times for length at first then not to offend in ww2 then not to offend asians in certain times and places,then the frantic search for other copies than the master.they found a replacement for the entire audio reel but came up 7 minutes short when restoring the video
6:41 am
crosshair
it is not so bad.the 7 minutes is spread throughout the entire restored film and they use studio photo stills of the actors in question for the few seconds here and there that are needed
6:41 am
crosshair
((ruby))
6:43 am
rubyfoo
hi kazzer and {{crossy}}
6:44 am
rubyfoo
bbble junior; that is very funny Molly
6:44 am
rubyfoo
hello hello lizlin
6:44 am
Lizlin
Ruby - how're things?
6:44 am
rubyfoo
53 words but no 6's or 7
6:45 am
Lizlin
ho 7 - most religious
6:45 am
rubyfoo
there is evidently a gas leak in the kitchen We use propane in tanks and it seems that it's actually the stove that is leaking. It's great when tuff like that happens on Sundays NOT!
6:45 am
Lizlin
pa 6 - most lacking in colour
6:45 am
crosshair
ty,liz.now that has everything but the 73 remaining babblets:))
6:45 am
Lizlin
Of course, you may not've wanted clues!!!
6:46 am
rubyfoo
ty for the pa6
6:46 am
Lizlin
OMG! To use current terminology! What are you doing about that?
6:46 am
rubyfoo
we shsut off the valve but can't get anybody until tomorrow. Just keepig the kitchen door open
6:47 am
Lizlin
You poor things! Is the window open too?
6:47 am
crosshair
be careful with that ruby.i was in the hydrocaron gas business for many years.a leak is nothing to mess with.remember propane gass will pool in low still air areas till it reaches combustion levels
6:47 am
Kazzer99
take care ruby - that sounds dangerous
6:48 am
Lizlin
Is there no emergency service?
6:48 am
rubyfoo
I've been breathing it for 3 days but nobody else could smell it until just now
6:48 am
crosshair
i KNOW it is dangerous.crossy was caught in a propane cloud flashover once
6:49 am
rubyfoo
since it is not gas from the town, I don't know if there is emergency serice for your own tanks.
6:49 am
crosshair
i am glad you shut the main valve off
6:49 am
rubyfoo
how dangerous is inhaling it?
6:49 am
Kazzer99
does propane creep as well Crossy - i know that some of it does
6:49 am
Lizlin
Can you suggest anything else Ruby can do, Crossy?
6:50 am
crosshair
you can call any furnace repair shoppe or the like and they can help or direct you
6:50 am
rubyfoo
I'm looking in the yelow pages
6:50 am
crosshair
it MUST stay off till repaired
6:50 am
crosshair
do not even"just start it long enough for a tea"
6:51 am
crosshair
if the furnace shop does not know,they will know who does
6:52 am
crosshair
or any place where tanks are refilled will have info
6:52 am
Lizlin
Is there an emergency contact number on the tanks?
6:52 am
crosshair
good nes is,that if it is just line damage and not a worn out stove,then repairs are not expensive
6:54 am
crosshair
however depending on the age of the copper lines,they may choose to replumb it al
6:55 am
crosshair
i was very lucky with my propane flashover.i lost my hair,my entire beard and one eyebrow and singed my chin and counted myself lucky
6:56 am
rubyfoo
I think the problem is in the stove. I can't find an emergency nume, but I a ccaling the plumber
6:56 am
crosshair
good start
6:56 am
rubyfoo
(and maybe he can teachd me to type while he's here, lol)
6:56 am
crosshair
you will find the right people i am sure
6:57 am
crosshair
do not worry ruby,i just read right through it and did not notice till you called my attention to it
6:57 am
crosshair
i am not nor ever will be a grammar/spelling nazi
6:58 am
rubyfoo
how dangerous is it that I've been breathing the fumes for a couple of days?
6:58 am
crosshair
not too dangerous unless the fumes are laying heavy
6:58 am
rubyfoo
the room has been open all the time
6:59 am
crosshair
what propane does is lay low,since it is heavier than air.and what it does is replaces oxygen in an enclosed room with its own gas,so you have it off and have ventilated,so you are fine
6:59 am
crosshair
there will be no residual effect
6:59 am
Lizlin
Good luck with the plumber, Ruby
7:00 am
crosshair
though in an enclosed area ,people can have have died for want of oxygen,so i am glad you did all the right things
7:01 am
Lizlin
10 left for tomorrow. I'm off to my book. (Hugs) to you both and keep safe, please, Ruby :)
7:01 am
crosshair
1 cubic cm of propane expands 240 times its volume on contact with air and the ignition point is 1 part propane to 9 parts oxygen
7:03 am
crosshair
the odor which is made with a chemical additive called mercaptain is added afterwards as an alert to leakage issues just like this
7:03 am
rubyfoo
I just spoke to the plumber and he'll be here tomorrow morning
7:03 am
rubyfoo
God bless France!
7:04 am
crosshair
ok.but please make sure he is propane certified and not just any plumber that usually just does water lines
7:05 am
crosshair
do not want my ruby blowing up!
7:05 am
rubyfoo
no, this guy is a jack of all trades. He is certified for plumbing and electricity and, best of all, I trust him!
7:05 am
rubyfoo
my eyes have been hurting and I thought it was from pollen.....
7:06 am
crosshair
it can make the eyes sting if concentrated
7:06 am
crosshair
did you turn it off at the tanks outside or just a inside valve????
7:06 am
crosshair
this is important
7:06 am
rubyfoo
Ruby on the ceiling, Ruby on the floor, Ruby in the couscous pot, and soon out the door
7:06 am
rubyfoo
Inside valve
7:07 am
crosshair
ok.please turn it off at the tanks.now
7:07 am
rubyfoo
between the gas line to the tanks and the kitchen
7:07 am
crosshair
the valve should be on top of the tanks
7:07 am
rubyfoo
is off clockwise or counter?
7:08 am
rubyfoo
husband is napping!
7:08 am
crosshair
clockwise to turn off
7:08 am
rubyfoo
didn't smell anything
7:08 am
crosshair
i would feel much better if it was off at the tanks
7:08 am
crosshair
you can do it no problem
7:08 am
rubyfoo
I just have to wait 'til plumber calls back
7:09 am
crosshair
just like turning off your garden hose tap
7:10 am
crosshair
well,now you have crossy worried.a leak can not only be between the inner valve and the stove,it can be between the inner valve and the tanks...
7:11 am
crosshair
lines can run from that valve,under the floor,between walls.i have no idea how much line there is from inner valce to main outside tank
7:12 am
crosshair
it differs with each installation
7:13 am
crosshair
in one of our cottages for example,we had over 20 feet of line just from the inner shut off to the main tanks
7:14 am
crosshair
the shut off valve inside itself could be faulty
7:14 am
crosshair
ok.i will quit nagging now

I just read an article that they're using "petfuel" in Nova Scotia, shipping it fro refineries in Detroit |(where they're processing shale gas). Are they insane?
7:31 am
crosshair
all i hd to do was scream:))
7:31 am
crosshair
do not know this "petfuel"
7:31 am
crosshair
i have been out of the loop for year or so now
7:33 am
rubyfoo
there are evidently huge piles of black slimy stuff which burns even dirtier than coal and it's cheap
7:33 am
rubyfoo
maybe it's "petgas". I'll have to re-read the article; it was in the NYT
7:34 am
crosshair
well,i am not for dirtier
7:34 am
rubyfoo
do you happen to have the stats or even a clue for the 7 and/or the singleton e?
7:35 am

here,we are going with biofuels in a big way,but there are problems with it as well.yes it is clean but many say it uses up crop and food resources

7:39 am
crosshair
no,i do not know that movie
7:40 am
rubyfoo
you will love it
7:40 am
crosshair
actually since it is lefover corn and such and used oil from fast food places,the entire thing smells a bit like french fries in the deep fryer or a basket of fish and chips
7:41 am
crosshair
much better than clouds of deisel fumes at any rate
7:42 am

I wonder if Jehovah Witnesses don't celebrate birthdays.. I'm guessing they never get older?
2:22 pm
MollyL
It certainly can't be much fun to "not celebrate" anything.
2:23 pm
rururocks
maybe celebrate is too close to inebriate in JW language?
2:24 pm
stidmama
as a person who does not observe birthdays or "holy" days I think it's absurd to think that it means I don't have any fun
2:25 pm
rururocks
why don't you observe birthdays Stid?
2:25 pm
rururocks
I don't observe "holy" days either
2:25 pm
stidmama
I think that it's just another date on a calendar.
2:26 pm
stidmama
I prefer to let people know they are important year-round.
2:26 pm
rururocks
oh... but what about the cake?
2:26 pm
stidmama
cake is good any time!
2:27 pm
rururocks
..well...that certainly is true
2:27 pm
stidmama
My family of origin observes birthdays. My personal practices developed over time as I witnessed the hypocrisy inherent in setting aside specific days to practice kindness.
2:28 pm
rururocks
what does that mean?
2:29 pm
stidmama
that means that too many people I know are nasty to others except on their birthdays and "special occasions" at which time the recipient of "kindness" is supposed to be grateful. It's hypocritical.
2:29 pm
stidmama
Not just in my family of origin, but in the culture at large.
2:29 pm
stidmama
So I don't observe "days" -- I honor people.
2:29 pm

Thanks so much, stidmama. It was nice yesterday but today it just stopped pouring rain.
2:32 pm
stidmama
and ruru, is of course the ho 7 of us all! He must be, he was in the grid yesterday! :-D

oh dear, Florida rain is just drenching. Hope you didn't have to go out in it!

No, we are just hanging out here remembering what fun we had when we were young.
2:34 pm
stidmama
oh, so last month peach? *innocent mama look*
2:34 pm
rururocks
Not making fun.. I just don't understand the not celebrating of birthdays if that is a JW thing... holy days I get.. there are a lot of Atheists out there
2:35 pm
stidmama
last time I saw my brother we reminisced about going into caves and rivers when we were little...
2:37 pm
rururocks
actually Stid.. I make fun of all religions equally :D
2:37 pm
stidmama
oh, that I can answer -- it's an idolatry issue, ruru. To bring gifts and celebrate an individual is to take the glory off their god. On the other hand, the people I have known of that faith are kind and loving to their families year-round. Children have what they need, food is healthy and tasty, homes are comfortable and well kept. Instead of being pulled together for just a day or a season, the emphasis is on living properly all the time.
2:38 pm
stidmama
that you do, ruru -- and I appreciate your lack of prejudice. :-P
2:39 pm
rururocks
..you're talking to a guy who got kicked out of Sunday school :D
2:39 pm
stidmama
I have been stuck at 4 to go for AGES. I am feeling as if I should list...
2:40 pm
stidmama
wow ruru! I don't think I even want to know how you managed that...
2:40 pm
rururocks
...something about my smart mouth I think :D
2:41 pm
stidmama
hm. you started young, did you? *stern mama look*
2:41 pm
rururocks
..can you imagine that? :D
2:41 pm
stidmama
you're home now? was Montana everything you hoped it would be? Did you see a lot of sheep?
2:42 pm
stidmama
That's what impressed me the most when I first went to Montana (I was about 10)... miles and miles and miles of sheep.
2:43 pm
rururocks
not too much sheep.. lots of Bison though
2:43 pm
stidmama
oh, that's way better than sheep! there is a little farm out in Mason county that has Bison. Those critters are BIG!
2:43 pm
rururocks
Montana is gorgeous country. I had a great time
2:44 pm
stidmama
glad you enjoyed it, ruru -- I think the mountain side is my favorite, but it's all pretty and interesting.
2:44 pm
rururocks
we saw a bison bigger than our car
2:44 pm
stidmama
yep. still at 4... listing.
2:44 pm
rururocks
2,000 lbs.. huge
2:45 pm
stidmama
oh man -- that's even bigger than my Odyssey, I think!
2:46 pm
rururocks
saw some bear, and lots of elk.. no moose though
2:46 pm
rururocks
did some catch and release fishing.. a little hiking.. and did a wine presentation for my friends guests
2:47 pm
rururocks
and had the best brunch I've ever had
2:47 pm
stidmama
good deal, ruru -- sounds relaxing!
2:47 pm
stidmama
my dad used to fly fish, some of those rivers in Montana are good for that
2:47 pm
rururocks
it was.. just a few days...lots of flying.. but so worth it
2:48 pm
stidmama
did you eat bison? what sort of wine? a really deep red, I suppose...
2:49 pm
rururocks
I didn't eat bison actually.. we had pheasant though
2:49 pm
rururocks
I do like pheasant
2:49 pm
stidmama
I have never eaten pheasant
2:49 pm
stidmama
more like turkey than chicken or duck, I imagine
2:50 pm
rururocks
served with a rhubarb tangy chutney.. yum
2:50 pm
stidmama
oh yum indeed!
2:50 pm
rururocks
nope.. doesn't taste like chicken
2:50 pm
stidmama
peach -- do you need or want any other clues?
2:50 pm
rururocks
good going stid.. not too bad a grid
2:50 pm
stidmama
no, not bad and the of the four I listed to get, three were fishy
2:52 pm

Sorry, stiddie, had a phone call. Not right now but thanks so much anyway. bbl
2:53 pm

Well, I should head out. It's a rest day for me, I overdid it last week and having trouble walking today. But I still have to do some laundry and basic organizing for the week ahead. Hope you-all will have a lovely day today!

being dead is a tad worse
3:18 pm

worms chew on you,ya know
3:19 pm
MimiCat
Won't be anything for them to chew on with me....being cremated and having half my ashes spread over Ouray, Colorado and the other half over the 17-mile drive in Carmel, CA. That way, if the kids want to visit Mom they get a nice vacation!
3:19 pm

back i a sec.downloaded a mark knopfler/chet atkins record.wish to see how it all turned out
3:22 pm

what exchange?
3:22 pm

((ruru)) Crossy advised ruby to turn off a valve since there was some issue with a gas leak.
3:23 pm

i am getting my ashes put into a nice elaborate hourglass for the mrs....that way i will always be on time
3:23 pm

i'm thinking about all the Pebble Beach Gardeners that will be blowing you around
3:24 pm
MimiCat
LOL, ruru...!
3:24 pm
crosshair
though in my case there may be enough ashes to count off a whole week!
3:25 pm

I'm asking that the majority be dumped by the Lone Cypress so it can serve as a kind of monument to me....what an ego!

MimiCat
Yeah, I know....so I'll have company!
3:25 pm
Minveryork
Hello to my fellow babblers!How is everybody doing today?
3:25 pm
Minveryork
By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! Way to go!
3:26 pm
rururocks
I haven't decided how I'm going to be spread around yet
3:26 pm

hi minver
3:26 pm
MimiCat
Hi, Min! Just spent the morning trying not to die...and succeeded so all is well!
3:27 pm
Minveryork
Oh no MimiCat!That sounds dramatic! Glad to see you here
3:27 pm
MimiCat
I get bouts of atrial fibrillation since the heart attack but I'm good at managing it....mostly.
3:28 pm
rururocks
what does that feel like mimi?
3:28 pm
MimiCat
Since your trip, ruru, maybe half there in Napa and the other half in Montana?
3:29 pm
MimiCat
I can feel my heart racing but skipping beats...it's very weird. And I must lie down and try to relax. Felt like I was going to pass out this morning, but I'm tough...stayed conscious.
3:29 pm
rururocks
sounds scary and disorienting
3:30 pm
MimiCat
It is, ruru. This is why I can't work full-time but, of course, Social Security doesn't think I'm sick enough for benefits....lawsuit settling early next year.
3:31 pm
Minveryork
The healthcare system and the Social Security System suck!
3:32 pm
MimiCat
BIG time, Min...I spent all of last year filing and getting turned down. Now we're going to court and if I win I get all that back money in a lump. They're turning down EVERYONE now. Even turned down a guy I knew who had terminal cancer...and he did die. Very sad. And it takes 15-18 months just to get a court date!
3:33 pm
MimiCat
I really think they're hoping a lot of us will die before they have to pay us!
3:34 pm
MimiCat
The survivors can still sue, however, for the back money.
3:35 pm
MimiCat
I need all kinds of additional tests that I can't afford because I have no insurance and in our state of Arizona I can't even get Medicaid because I'm not supporting small children....how STUPID is THAT?!
3:36 pm
crosshair
i have the mark knopfler/chet atkins album all set up in a playable mp3 full playback filefor a babbler who requested it.anyone else who wishes a copy,just email me
3:36 pm
MimiCat
But I'm gonna keep on living just to spite them!
3:36 pm
Minveryork
That's the right attitude MimiCat! Good for you!
3:37 pm
MimiCat
Besides, I've almost died 3 times already but I don't think God wants me up there criticizing how he's running things. I can almost hear him saying "Leave her down there, I don't need the grief!"
3:38 pm
Minveryork
LOL MimiCat!
3:40 pm
MimiCat
OK...going to have my bacon sammie now...salute to crossy while eating! Enjoy the rest of your day and hugs all around.
3:40 pm
crosshair
i heard from a unnamed odsp worker here that they turn down everyone at the start as a lazy filtering process,just to see who is not really serious or those who cannot stay in it for the long haul.i said that was the most evil thing i have ever heard of
3:41 pm
MimiCat
Absolutely, crossy. And with me they only needed to carry me until next month when I get early retirement. At the beginning is when you REALLY need the help...trying to get better.
3:42 pm
MimiCat
Not only was I very ill, I had to worry about getting my rent and other bills paid every month. It was absolute torture.
3:42 pm
crosshair
i mean i do not know about mimi,but our doctors have a fine filter in place ty!! they bounce those disability forms back and forth amongst themselves for months or years like it is a bloody tennis ball before you finally get something with enough correct infor to send to disability
3:43 pm
Minveryork
I've found most of the words with the ti5/10 in this grid Now here is a story of clues for my Babble pa 4/5. Every year at the on5/10 of Spring, I get bad allergies. All the pollen le 5/12 into my body & makes me miserable and then it just li4/4 there in my nose and it drips non-stop. Allergies prevent me from sleeping.I toss and turn in my bed sh5/12s. My allergies get so bad that I get sick with bronchial problems and can't breathe. One day, I was so pa4/5 that my Principal sent me home.She told me that I was the pa6/21 she had ever seen me & that I needed to go see my doctor.So I left work and saw my doctor. I also bought Allegra that was on sa4/4.Allergies seem to run in my family. My mom's so 4/4 grew up w/allergies, but then they went away.I never got my allergies te4/4 I was in my 30s. I took an allergy te 4/4 and I found out I was allergic to anything living that is not human.Oh sh 4/5! Husband is being an assho4/5 and demanding the computer. I'm going to go do something el4/4 like cook so4/4 francais for dinner. I will be back later on to clue
3:43 pm
MimiCat
Here it's the system itself that is at fault....the doctors are very quick to provide the necessary information...at least in my case. My cardiologist really went to bat for me.
3:43 pm
crosshair
took us a FULL ten year ,mimi
3:43 pm
crosshair
ty for clue story,min
3:44 pm
crosshair
i was opposite,mimi.once i got all the doctors organized,they only did one quick refusal before i laid the hammer down
3:45 pm
MimiCat
That's disgusting, crossy. I've done everything I can think of to voice my opinion about the situation. I've written my congressmen, senators, AARP, the governor of Arizona...you name it, they've heard from me. But doubt it will do any good. Makes me feel more in control, though, to at least try.
3:46 pm
MimiCat
Min...you're an absolute genius with these clue stories!
3:46 pm
crosshair
even then when they tried the one refusal,i had a worker actually say to me" your wife can still work when she is totally blind" we have a worker here with a braille typewriter".. and i sad "oh yea.those type of govt minorty/disabled 10% quota jobs come up ALLLLL the time!"
3:46 pm
MimiCat
It's healthier for me to get angry rather than depressed.
3:46 pm
Minveryork
Thanks MimiCat!I hope it help those not finished with grid.
3:47 pm
crosshair
it is,she backed off in a hurry when i unloaded on her for saying that
3:47 pm
crosshair
you are almost there,mimi
3:49 pm
MimiCat
I was seriously considering suicide for quite some time simply because I didn't have any money and was afraid of being sick and homeless. My family and friends and a few agencies came through for me, though, and now I'm home free as of next month. I thought I was strong before, but after all this, hey, there's very little I can't deal with.
3:49 pm
crosshair
leave in your will that if you pass before the money comes,when your decendants get it,they are to hire a hit man with the money to take as many of the disability ceos out as they can :)...mm perhaps i should not say that.see in the news again people are roaming around again with semi auto weapons on killing sprees again
3:50 pm
crosshair
it tempers you,mimi,like iron in a forge
3:50 pm
MimiCat
And actually, my ex-husband has been the one who was the most supportive financially and emotionally. That's rare and I'm lucky.
3:50 pm
crosshair
well,definatly kudos to ex-hubby
3:51 pm
MimiCat
It's sad that I just couldn't stay married to him. I was the love of his life but he wasn't mine....not sure I've had one this time around...maybe next.
3:52 pm
MimiCat
Thinking about leaving any money to my cats.
3:52 pm
crosshair
yes,the cats or the local shelter
3:53 pm
MimiCat
But I'm planning on spending it all before I go...actually, that won't take long.
3:54 pm
crosshair
i now have all the money i need to last the rest of my life...as long as i kick off by august first
3:54 pm
MimiCat
LOL, crossy.
3:55 pm
crosshair
back in a sec.i best look through min,s story as these last 7 are being a pain..semi-poink
3:56 pm
MimiCat
I'm gone for real....later, all.
4:00 pm
crosshair
:(( not a single one did i get from the story:(( my last seven must be babblets of the purest kind!
4:19 pm
stidgmere
Hi crossy. Hope you can float a loan so you can last through the month of august at least!
4:21 pm
crosshair
how is stidmere today?
4:22 pm
stidgmere
I am just starting and have already 12 words. But we both know small grids have few possibilities.
4:23 pm
crosshair
yup,the first 65 go fast but the last few can be stinkers
4:23 pm
crosshair
i got down to 7 without to many issues but have been working on those last 7 for two hours now
4:26 pm
stidgmere
No really long words here either. Sometimes those compound words are really a stretch.
4:29 pm
crosshair
my 3 left are all 5 letter words
4:30 pm
crosshair
yup.pure babblets.just found a le 5/12 that is babblet extrodinare
4:31 pm
crosshair
down to a pair of t/5,s
4:32 pm
crosshair
and a te 5/10 that is babblet
4:32 pm
crosshair
i am just mashing every combination there is to get them
4:33 pm
stidgmere
I am leaving the le 5 for now and moving on to the on combo.
4:33 pm
stidgmere
moving to the pa words.
4:34 pm
crosshair
those are all pretty normal
4:34 pm
stidgmere
the pa words lacked vigor for the most part.
4:36 pm
crosshair
fw for crossy:)) last word te 5/10
4:36 pm
stidgmere
Congrats crossy!!
4:37 pm
crosshair
ty,ty:))
4:37 pm
crosshair
last bit was not a word puzzle,just letter mashing
4:37 pm
crosshair
managed it listless however and for that i am happy
4:38 pm
stidgmere
Right, given the many tries without penalties, it can be done.
4:39 pm
crosshair
heaven forbid that babble ever starts giving out penalties fro trying more than a few attempts!
4:40 pm
stidgmere
I for one would vote against penalizing those who try!
4:40 pm
crosshair
can you imagine if you only had three guesses at a word then it removed 10 points from your total for each extra guess?? all babblers would have a binder full of blank paper on the desk to test fire words first before typing them in
4:42 pm
Kaplan the Magne
who said anything about penalties
4:42 pm
stidgmere
You are right, Babbler can game a game pretty well.
4:42 pm
stidgmere
We never said anything pro penalty, Magne.
4:43 pm
crosshair
i see you have your old account back kap:))
4:43 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Oh, hm, I wonder why?
4:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
It must be the browser
4:44 pm
crosshair
well,could be elves,but i am guessing drg finally sorted it out for you
4:44 pm
Kaplan the Magne
No, I think it's IE. Let me check
4:44 pm
crosshair
we went over browsers ad nauseum when you first mentioned this problem
4:46 pm
stidgmere
down to two more te words. Tapping furiously on keyboard.
4:46 pm
crosshair
well,i have not used IE in 6 years.IE is basically the best browser to load other browsers with,imho
4:47 pm
crosshair
and yes,i get the irony that babble in of itself is IE based
4:47 pm
Kaplan the Magne
no, it's chrome that is working- the only one I have now
4:47 pm
crosshair
but as long as it will run on chrome,i am happy
4:48 pm
stidgmere
Oh my two math type words I think. So fireworks for me, too.
4:48 pm
crosshair
well,you still have IE it cannot be removed from windows,it is is disabled.i reccomend opera as a nice scondary browse
4:48 pm
crosshair
yaa for stidmere!'
4:48 pm
stidgmere
I'm using chrome also since firefox got weirded out with one of the Acrobat thingies.
4:49 pm
crosshair
ff,is not what it once was.i still hold a place for it in my heart for allowing me to jump the IE ship 6 years ago,but chrome is the king now
4:49 pm
stidgmere
Nice spending time with you today crossy and magne. Hope the rest of your Sunday is lovely.
4:49 pm
Kaplan the Magne
Whio knows as long as I'm here.
4:50 pm
crosshair
it is nice spending time with you as well,stidmere;))
4:54 pm
crosshair
and now it is time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!

Lizlin
Good morning / good evening all :)
8:02 pm
Lizlin
Cool, damp day today! Oh yes! It's a public holiday - that explains it!
8:04 pm
MollyL
Most things Ru. : P Liz, what are you celebrating (I love celebrating)
8:04 pm
Lizlin
Fireworks - those final 10 went quickly!
8:05 pm
Lizlin
Now here's a funny thing! We're celebrating the queen's birthday (though her birthday's really April 21) but that's not celebrated in England!
8:05 pm
MollyL
Oh, it's Queenie's birthday.
8:06 pm
MollyL
That is hysterical. It's in April but Australia celebrates it now?
8:06 pm
Lizlin
Love the icon - though as an ex-teacher, I might reverse the sentiments!
8:06 pm
Lizlin
Well, queenie has an official birthday in June in England - but it's not a public holiday! I guess she needs an official birthday when the weather might be warmer!
8:07 pm
Lizlin
Aussies take any excuse for a long weekend! Gotta love that!
8:08 pm
rururocks
Any self respecting Queen in SF would celebrate on their birthday :D
8:08 pm
MollyL
So her birthday is April 21 but her official birthday is in June? Does she have an unofficial birthday too?
8:08 pm
Lizlin
Probably every other day
8:10 pm
MollyL
Any excuse for a long weekend sounds good to me. Life is about celebrations. : D
8:13 pm
Lizlin
I'm in agreement there
8:13 pm
Lizlin
Every day is a day to celebrate something
8:15 pm
MollyL
I have this children's book called "I'm In Charge Of Celebrations". It's all about finding a reason to celebrate every day.
8:18 pm
rururocks
We need a new book ..."I'm in charge of Crossy's postings" ... ;D
8:19 pm
Lizlin
I don't know that book Molly, but like the sound of it.
8:20 pm
MollyL
*Passes the buck on being in charge of that*
8:21 pm
MollyL
One of my boys woke up on his third birthday and said "Today is the day we celebrate me" It was so cute.
8:22 pm
rururocks
Funny.. that's what Tom Cruise says everyday too ..
8:23 pm
MollyL
Oh THAT'S what all the couch jumping was about.
8:26 pm
MollyL
Only on Broadway..."Cyndi Lauper won the Tony Award for Best Original Score for composing the music to "Kinky Boots," the story of a shoe factory making fetish-wear for drag queens." : D
8:31 pm
rururocks
I love her rendition of Time after Time.. she has a great voice
8:35 pm
MollyL
It's quite an undertaking for a musician to write a score for a musical.
8:35 pm

8:37 pm
MollyL
Ah, we don't have it yet as it's still yesterday here. Thanks for the heads up.
8:38 pm
MollyL
Well Min, you could be like my neighbor and yell GO POTTY at him. But it won't make him go any faster.
: D
8:38 pm
Minveryork
Oh, was wondering why I hadn't seen the new google page
8:41 pm

8:55 pm

Oh damn, I didn't know he had a fever too. Good thing he didn't get dehydrated. That happens quick when you can't keep anything down. Glad he's feeling better.
8:56 pm
Minveryork
Even though he's feeling better, he should NOT go to work
