Glantarell

1:09 am

jwr

Bon jour to you, too. I'm usually pretty good with languages but I heard a new one the other day - couldn't even place the continent: turned out to be Mongol.

1:11 am

Glantarell

it has some similarities but is more meaty and uses different flavourings

1:11 am

Glantarell

night melon

1:11 am

hurshy

hurshy's uneducated guess at mongolian food: boiled yak, roasted yak, baked yak, yak tips in sauce...

1:12 am

Glantarell

i did say more meaty LOL but as yak is hard to find in the Uk I think they substituted lamb in the recipes

1:12 am

jwr

that's all talk, hurshy - yakyakyak - what do you really know?

1:12 am

1:15 am

m9f9l

1:15 am

Glantarell

i have the el5 but it's not from there

1:15 am

hurshy

it's like ante and etna

1:15 am

jwr

I've always enjoyed a good yak myself - the pun isn't the same with lamb substitute. ... okay, I'm retiring that part of my brain! Back to the grid.

1:15 am

hurshy

rururocks

1:22 am

hurshy

1:22 am

jwr

In Jeeves??? good grief! ... was it s BBC production?

1:22 am

m9f9l

What about Wodehouse Playhouse?

1:23 am

Glantarell

i think i like the sound of 47 ginger sailors

1:23 am

m9f9l

Got me reading Wodehouse when I was little.

1:23 am

rururocks

did wodehouse take a crack at it?

1:23 am

Glantarell

only ru...

1:24 am

rururocks

:D <---- can't help himself

1:24 am

m9f9l

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXr4N51\nRsHA

1:25 am

Glantarell

part of your charm ru

1:25 am

jwr

hursh: copied from Wikipedia; "Minnie the Moocher" is a jazz song first recorded in 1931 by Cab Calloway and ... The character "Smokey" is described as "cokey", meaning a user of cocaine

1:26 am

Glantarell

m9 just went to your link - and probably because i'm in uk - it immediately just took me to YouTube but not the video

1:26 am

hurshy

ok, opinions please. i am looking at a nice inexpensive sweater on ebay. the seller had positive reviews for 3 years and then in january 2 people posted negative ones that he didn't send the item but kept and relished. then in february, gets a couple more positive reviews. then no sales since. to buy or not to buy?

1:26 am

rururocks

wow jwr.. that's nothing to sneeze at

1:27 am

Glantarell

don't buy, you don't have the same paypal protection as we do

1:27 am

rururocks

don't buy hursh

1:27 am

jwr

SO. NOW we know why we never had any grownup stories about Heidi. ....Hi Ru - I promised hurshy I was going to stop punning ... it's your gig.

1:28 am

hurshy

well i know the cab calloway part but yeah i didn't really realize the cokey cocaine thing - however - i know that cocaine wasn't taken as seriously for a long time - coca cola orignally had it - in fact at first people thought it was a great side-effect free drug! i thought the realization of its badness had set in sooner than the 30s though.

1:28 am

m9f9l

Oh. Bummer.

1:29 am

rururocks

they had a rip snorting time back them

1:29 am

Glantarell

and now i'm getting pop up ads...

1:30 am

m9f9l

Stooopid youtube!

1:31 am

rururocks

oooh .. got the z

1:31 am

hurshy

of course i don't think i listened carefully enough to even notice the word cokey in the song in the first place... i remember she loved smokey even though he was HOKEY...

1:32 am

rururocks

it's the hidey hidey HO that always got to me

1:32 am

jwr

hursh: on sweater, Glant is probably right but sometimes people post negative things just for the hell of it - look at the two bad posts and see if they look like they might be from the same person. ... and yes on the coke. Speaking of the brand -- they substituted caffeine. Several studies have shown that caffeine is just as bad and just as addictive (doesn't have the sex oomph though)

1:32 am

hurshy

3 bad posts, 2 diff people - seller didn't comment on them, which they can do, i know.

1:33 am

hurshy

oooh la6/39 love love love!

1:33 am

jwr

Mairzy Doats?

1:34 am

m9f9l

Straight from the news of the last few days: "The latest version of the mental-health bible, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, now includes both caffeine intoxication and withdrawal. "

1:35 am

jwr

Really!

1:35 am

Glantarell

wow, wonder if my 2 cups of fresh coffee (OK, mugs) makes me an addict

1:35 am

hurshy

i do not do caffeine. i despise coffee, drink decaf teas, cocoa sometimes but that doesn't have nearly as much.

1:35 am

m9f9l

Same here hursh

1:35 am

jwr

I always knew those kids behind the Starbucks counters were bad news.

1:36 am

rururocks

uh.. caffeine lover here

1:36 am

Glantarell

i just have the two cups first thing daily then switch to water and fruit infusions - i think carbonated drinks are the work of the devil LOL

1:36 am

rururocks

*holds coffee cup* "from my cold dead hands"

1:36 am

jwr

Glant - try going "cold turkey" with the coffee and see if you have withdrawal symptoms

1:36 am

hurshy

honestly, you know it must be addictive because it's the same way as alcohol - it doesn't taste good (at least when you first try it in life) and yet VIRTUALLY EVERYONE IN SOCIETY DRINKS IT!

1:37 am

jwr

Yeah, sure Ru -- I tried that with my cigarettes in 1989.

1:37 am

hurshy

if it's not illegal, that is the logical thing to happen with something addictive.

1:38 am

rururocks

sex isn't good the first time either.. doesn't stop anyone either

1:38 am

Glantarell

i never get withdrawl - if there's no fresh coffee (a much more common occurrence here in theUK than you might think) then I don;t have any. Most people here drink instant coffee

1:38 am

hurshy

speak for yourself ru!

1:38 am

jwr

And sex withdrawal is a doozy

1:38 am

Glantarell

poor ru. bad first sex experience.

1:38 am

rururocks

i was young glant :D

1:39 am

Glantarell

so was i :-D

1:39 am

Glantarell

guess it depends on the care and attention of the other person

1:39 am

jwr

in one of my past lives . . . .

1:40 am

Glantarell

flip. there are 8 MEs

1:41 am

m9f9l

And not a foolproof method either.....

1:41 am

jwr

glant, I was the same way about smoking for the first 30 years --- then BOOM -- had to go through horrors to quit, and know I can never have another puff.

1:42 am

Glantarell

i gave up smoking in 1982. after 12 years of 30 a day.

1:42 am

rururocks

I gave up sex

1:42 am

jwr

OK - got lost in four threads - back to grid, and back to work. Calls coming in.

1:42 am

Glantarell

tried many times and failed (because deep down i didn't see why i should have to quit) then one morning woke up and thought - this is it. never had one since

1:43 am

Glantarell

i gave up sex too, but not by choice! darn it.

1:43 am

rururocks

me neither

1:43 am

rururocks

:D

1:43 am

rururocks

I feel like a preist

1:43 am

hurshy

*is feeling awkward now*

1:43 am

Glantarell

sorry hursh

1:44 am

rururocks

i'm just kidding hursh

1:44 am

jwr

32 years/2 packs (20) a day. Sex gave me up. but then I FOUND BABBLE, praise be!

1:44 am

Glantarell

*whistles* so, how's the weather today? raining here - british summer standard

1:44 am

hurshy

lol sok

1:44 am

Glantarell

LOL jwr

1:45 am

hurshy

weather here is - dark

1:45 am

m9f9l

I guess none of you are going to get the la4 then...

1:45 am

rururocks

dark here too

1:45 am

Glantarell

i already had it m9 :-)

1:45 am

m9f9l

Dark here.

1:46 am

Glantarell

gloomy here

1:46 am

m9f9l

:-P

1:46 am

jwr

going poof - got a call and a "live chat" Later all, thanks for the pfun

1:46 am

Glantarell

bye jwr

1:46 am

hurshy

that reminds me of 5th grade when we had the weather rock. it was a rock on a rope hanging from a tripod of sticks, and we had a sign in the classroom that said, "if rock is wet, it's raining. if rock is white, it's snowing. if rock is on the ground, hurricane." something like that.

1:47 am

m9f9l

Sure hope it was outside..

1:47 am

Glantarell

:-) sometimes it feels like that rock would have a permanenet waterfall coming off it. We did have about 5 days sunshine last week, think that was summer

1:47 am

m9f9l

or you guys REALLY needed more school funding!

1:47 am

hurshy

yes the rock was outside

1:47 am

hurshy

he was just a fun teacher :)

1:48 am

hurshy

he always referred to the bathroom as "tinkle towers"

1:48 am

m9f9l

I recently heard of rain chains...and then I saw that they have these two really large ones at my son's work. Trendy yes. GOod here in the VERY WINDY Gorge.. not so much.

1:49 am

rururocks

*guessing he was gay*

1:49 am

m9f9l

Ha ha.. tinkle towers.. I'm going to remember that.

1:49 am

rururocks

or liberace

1:50 am

hurshy

and sometimes he would leave the room and tell us not to talk while he was gone, and then when he came back he would ask whoever had talked to stand up and people would do it, even though you knew he would make you write 100 times "i will not talk" or whatever. i never understood how that worked.

1:50 am

m9f9l

Well THAT doesn't sound fun...

1:50 am

m9f9l

Training you young ones to lie. Awesome!

1:51 am

hurshy

well it's sort of inspiring - that you would respect someone enough to be honest even when you didn't have to be

1:51 am

hurshy

that's the thing people DIDN'T lie, that's what impressed me

1:51 am

m9f9l

Wild.

1:52 am

m9f9l

I have 59 left..and pretty much stuck.

1:52 am

rururocks

i'm stuck at 69

1:53 am

Glantarell

1:53 am

hurshy

been chatting too much, not really even half way through my first pass yet

1:53 am

rururocks

1:53 am

m9f9l

no comment

1:53 am

rururocks

68 ... whew

1:53 am

Glantarell

1:53 am

m9f9l

except that we moved on...

1:53 am

Glantarell

and we all ignored ru

1:54 am

m9f9l

Oh thanks! I forget about the yl

1:54 am

rururocks

4:36 am

sprite

awwwww... that is kind of cute though. Perhaps you could tell him it helps the canary go to bed when the curtains are drawn? Very glad the pain is less.

4:36 am

ouch Dianne... that is sad :(

4:46 am

Dianne

it was for the bird. The cat thought it was pretty good.

4:46 am

grannyrose

poor little bird, and the cat?

4:47 am

zoozzoom

This grid is not being friendly..i am having to wrestle with it to get the words.

4:47 am

sprite

snack time, indeed.

4:47 am

sprite

same here, zooz!

4:47 am

zoozzoom

The cats version of a KFC :-)

4:47 am

Dianne

I know I am missing a de7. I have the shortage of funds one but can't find the other. any hints?

4:47 am

sprite

kentucky flying canary

4:48 am

grannyrose

*splutter*

4:48 am

sprite

I have neither, but will help look

4:48 am

zoozzoom

DE7 having a frenzy..or losing the plot.

4:48 am

grannyrose

were there fries with that?

4:48 am

Dianne

zooz - you are right - Kitchen Floor Canary

4:48 am

sprite

lol!

4:49 am

grannyrose

de7, plural of the d in DT's, what alcoholics go through

4:49 am

sprite

thanks for the tremens. Now for the other one.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

LOL, Dianne

4:50 am

Dianne

Got it - thanks

4:50 am

grannyrose

de7, lacking funds in account, or in himself's case, grey matter

4:50 am

zoozzoom

haha..you have got it in for him tonight, Rose...lol

4:51 am

sprite

I am below himself though... still looking, grin

4:51 am

grannyrose

ah well, they say making up is half the fun, right?

4:52 am

zoozzoom

DE7 in debt..minus ...shortfall.

4:52 am

grannyrose

de + ***tion, not fact + not him or her, but **, a thing

4:52 am

sprite

I am happy my love and I don't fight often. I hate it. Making up is better, but I prefer being cuddly and/or corny without the fight.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

the sound of the word is like someone who cannot hear.

4:53 am

sprite

ah, great, of course. Thanks rose and zooz.

4:53 am

grannyrose

right with you, hun. i geuss the discomfort is getting to me. i rarely have angry words with him.

4:53 am

zoozzoom

Cuddly is nice, Sprite..i am a cuddly type person too.

4:54 am

sprite

my love and I are horribly... together for 20 years and still holding hands and cuddling all the time. Wouldn't change it for the world, grin.

4:55 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Of course, sweetie. Angry words are unpleasant. You'll make up soon, I know.

4:55 am

sprite

horrible*

4:55 am

zoozzoom

Horribly = fondly...right?

4:55 am

zoozzoom

Ahh ok.

4:55 am

sprite

yes, very fondly :)

4:57 am

grannyrose

perhaps incorrigible would be a better word, sprite. himself and i still hold hands, and smooch. people observe us, and wonder at how much in love we are.

4:57 am

zoozzoom

oooh i love TR****s...one of my fav desserts.

4:57 am

sprite

I love that, rose. You guys rock together.

4:58 am

zoozzoom

That is lovely, Rose.

4:58 am

grannyrose

hey zooz, did you hear about the man who was going around with custard in one ear, and jelly in the other?

4:58 am

grannyrose

5:03 am

zoozzoom

No...sory..Sprite..i meant done as in the PT of the TR7 word.

5:03 am

sprite

ah ok! Good job, anyway.

5:04 am

zoozzoom

5:06 am

sprite

oh, btw zooz, I took your advice and my love and I have made up completely!

5:07 am

zoozzoom

That is good to hear, Sprite..glad i could help..even if just to listen...i do not mind :-)

5:10 am

zoozzoom

testing

5:11 am

sprite

the listening helped and your advice to defuse the tension before talking it out helped too.

5:11 am

zoozzoom

Babble keeps freezing on me.

5:12 am

zoozzoom

I am pleased you both have sorted it out.

5:12 am

sprite

5:12 am

zoozzoom

Nothing worse than having a heavy atmosphere around the house.

grannyrose

sorry, zooz. watching an episode of Heartbeat.

5:13 am

zoozzoom

why do you miss when my baby kisses me..doo de doo do.

5:13 am

sprite

I hear ya! I hate it. I hate it so much I used to give in all the time just to avoid it. Now that I have learned to stand up for myself, I have to learn to bear a bit of tension for a little while, I guess ;)

5:13 am

zoozzoom

I like the theme tune to that series.

5:13 am

grannyrose

I hate doing that bichon, let the seeds fall where they may

of course, then I get extra double weeding duty the following year

3:21 pm

bichon

I have Peach leafed Bellflower blooming now. I love the blue color. If I take off the spent blossoms, it will bloom at least once more

3:22 pm

mael

the upside is that I have a lot of penstemon, which I love, because they spread and flower within a season or two

3:22 pm

mael

yeah, they are very much worth the effort!

3:22 pm

bichon

I had Penstemon once and it took over everything else

3:23 pm

mael

it is very, very aggressive with the self seeding

3:23 pm

bichon

I've got a large number of Foxglove this year. When they're done, I spread the seed

3:23 pm

mael

I rip out the ones that don't grow true to seed, I like mine with the dark leaves and they tend to revert to green within a generation or two

3:24 pm

mael

I wish foxglove liked it here.... I plant it often and it never, ever self seeds

3:24 pm

bichon

Where are you mael?

3:25 pm

We just got back from England, wow do they have gardens there.

One may be able to quibble about the quality of a single experiment, or about the veracity of a given experimenter, but, taking all the supportive experiments together, the weight of evidence is so strong as readily to merit a wise man's reflection. - Professor William Tiller, parapsychologist, Standford University, commenting on psi research

Any visitor to this part of the world MUST see Trim Castle. Another Must-See is Newgrange. (Older than the Pyramids of Egypt). To get to Newgrange from Trim, you have to go through Slane!

brewpoem #1 for June 13 sent

here are the brews we drank in england /
piddle from the nearby village of piddle /
thereâ€™s a cluster of piddles including /
piddle in the hole we drank hobgoblin /
dark ale from the wychwood brewery in /
witney. heligan honey, roosters elderflower /
recommended in the spit or swallow beer /
review. crop circle from hopback brewery /
about those circles our farmer host says /
I could make one myself the only puzzle /
is how the fellows keep from being caught /
it takes a little time maybe the fieldâ€™s owner /
is in on the sport this did not diminish our /
pleasure in the ale we also quaffed magpie /
magic though real magpies on the lawn /
were being lured into live traps (another /
magpie needed for bait) and transported /
they kill valued fledglings like swallows also /
what is happening to cuckoos notorious for /
usurping nests for their own eggs and leaving /
the hapless wee owners to bring up a ravenous /
foster child we heard nary a cuckoo during /
our stay michael says he hasnâ€™t heard one in /
three years Iâ€™m off the subject arenâ€™t I well /
to finish how about a dumb joke from my /
childhood when the lord passed out ears I /
thought he said beers so I says gimme big ones /

a number 3 could be when you have an upset stomach and don't know wheter to put your butt or head on the loo

8:25 pm

a #3 is a involuntary personal protein spill

Happy Farters Day is appropriate.

8:30 pm

No, no, that is not what I thought it meant either. Focus on involuntary.
