looks like the skill is coming back fast though, moonwoof :)
3:54 am
moonwoof
Oh I dunno... Yesterday's "geneses" word had me giggling for half an hour. Only clue I could think of was smeagol saying a plural of "genes"
3:55 am
sprite
lololllll nice one. I was tempted to say it was the bible part christians believe there's only one of, but plural.
3:56 am
moonwoof
yea. I dont recall who salvaged that clue into something similar, but I still couldnt stop giggling
3:57 am
sprite
I believe giggles are a great help when healing ;)
3:57 am
moonwoof
a bit yea. I had to ice after that anyway ^^
3:58 am
sprite
giggles can be hard on the body, but work wonders for the spirit.
4:00 am
sprite
at least today has the plural of my favorite word, lol
4:00 am
moonwoof
agreed. Its been nice to be back and see so many familiar people, even if they dont remember me
4:00 am
moonwoof
or only vaguely so
4:01 am
sprite
maybe some won't, but on the other hand, there are lots of nice new people to meet as well
4:01 am
moonwoof
also so. Its been very nice including all of that ^^
4:02 am

yesterday morning, I found two more people in the phoenix area, so Im hoping tea or coffee can happen once it cools off
4:02 am

should work
4:04 am

you living on your own now?
4:04 am
moonwoof
no. I was for a while. But Ive worked a lot out with mike and that is all much better than it was.
4:05 am
moonwoof
Very pardon me.
4:05 am
moonwoof
oh cool. Its not in there xD
4:06 am
sprite
I remember the cheating part. Great you worked through that... most people can't.
4:06 am
moonwoof
Definately wasnt easy.
4:07 am
moonwoof
But we hashed that out along with a bunch of other things that needed tending to.
4:07 am
moonwoof
But still stayed apart for a while, after that. And just stayed friends before we decided to try again.
4:08 am
sprite
great you made it work between you two.
4:08 am
moonwoof
Well, that's always an ongoing process. And he knows that now. So we're always working on it =)
4:09 am
moonwoof
How's the family doing and did you ever get moved?
4:09 am
sprite
in my experience, it's the relationships that are not worked on that break in the end
4:10 am
sprite
my family is doing great. But you may be mixing me up with someone else, since I haven't been in the process of moving for a long time, thank God.
4:11 am
moonwoof
Oh. maybe, but I thought you were looking at something, and hadnt decided. I'll make sure to reread my mails tho and make sure.
4:11 am
moonwoof
It *has* been far too long and my memory can be evil.
4:12 am
sprite
no matter. We're here to stay, I truly hope.
4:13 am
moonwoof
agreed. Should be *much* easier now that Im back to more settled.
4:13 am
sprite
my email addy is in my profile, it is different from back then.
4:14 am
moonwoof
Yup. I got that email last week or the week before. Just hadnt gotten my own new email, yet, to reply.
4:14 am
moonwoof
Im working on it tho! Slow but sure
4:14 am
sprite
ok :) No hurry.
4:15 am
moonwoof
yahoo is changing their privacy policies, which is abhorrent, so moving it is.
4:16 am
sprite
how irritating
4:17 am
moonwoof
yea. I cant abide the thought of them reading my (or anyone else's) email.
4:17 am
sprite
they have no right to do that. I'd move too.
4:20 am
moonwoof
It was an unhappy thing to come back to after being offline for a cpl of years.
4:20 am
sprite
it would piss me off big time, tbh
4:21 am

this will take sn4 and not afro? Gah!
4:21 am

yeah. That's enable for you.

7:25 am
grannyrose
hmmm, not me roundbarn. maybe rbud? i'm just not that clever. wish i was!!!lol
7:28 am
RoundBarn
well, now I wonder. I guess there's a way of seeing back chat--it was yesterday or the day before--a girl quite erotic, who people thought was neurotic--the two shorter lines, ending in her doctor being despotic. She earlier said the grid looked like a limerick, then came up with one. The first two -otics were in the grid. Anybody remember who?

I saw them. He is gorgeous
7:33 am
Haz1558
I'm keeping well and enjoying lots of walks.
7:33 am
RoundBarn
thanks, Haz--the names are similar in feel--they could go in a poem--grannyrose and rubyfoo decide to have a battle for grannyrose said rubyfoo had spoiled her nice new rattle--etc
7:33 am
Mom
so glad to hear that and so glad you popped on
7:33 am
Haz1558
He's very handsome and quite a character already.

Haz - you have an English Cocker? He is gorgeous!! I love, love, love English Cockers!!
7:35 am
Mom
I'm sure he is a lot of company to you
7:35 am
Haz1558
I've never had such a cuddly dog.
7:36 am
trentsnana
What is his name?
7:37 am
Haz1558
He's called Dempsey. That was the name given by the breeder - not sure if it's after the actor Patrick Dempsey or not.
7:37 am
Mom
I'm so happy for you
7:37 am
Haz1558
He's pretty easy on the eye as well.
7:37 am

7:41 am

as much as i would LOVE to have another dog...will have to wait until i retire. himself and i are planning on doing some major travelling soon, including europe , canada and, of course north america. once the itchy feet syndrome is satisfied, i will finally allow myself to have another pet.
7:42 am

Haz1558
Hello, bichon.
7:42 am
lbdawger
morning, Bichon, hi rbarn.
7:42 am
Judi
Good morning, all. Your english cocker is a handsome fellow, Haz. We actually have two police officers here with the last name "Dempsey". Yes, I'm surrounded by Irish cops. How cliche.
7:42 am
Mom
(((LBD))) good morning
7:43 am
lbdawger
Haz, I love Dempsey!! what a loving face!! I bet he's a great snuggler!
7:43 am
grannyrose
haz, what everyone is saying...cockers have a special place in my heart....but then again so do all dogs, i just love 'em.
7:44 am
Haz1558
He gets the most determined look on his face when he decides that nothing but my lap will do.
7:44 am
lbdawger
i'm with granny on that. love love love dogs. haven't really met one I didn't like. although hairless are kinda different.
7:44 am
grannyrose
oh, dear, haz...and is there enough lap for him?
7:44 am
Haz1558
I tend to sit at the table doing babble with my breakfast (using laptop). This head appears and begins the maneouvres.
7:45 am
Mom
sorry to scoot off so soon but lots to do today. (((Hugs))) to all of you.
7:45 am

*giggle* i can imagine, haz
7:45 am
bichon
Haz, same thing with my Marco. He thinks he can move the table top to get into my lap
7:46 am
Haz1558
It's quite funny, just the sheer force of will to get himself climbed up.
7:46 am
lbdawger
must go get ready for work. see you all tomorrow. hagd/n everyone
7:47 am
bichon
How old is Dempsey Haz?
7:47 am
Haz1558
He's nearly 13 months now.
7:48 am
bichon
Still some puppy left
7:48 am
grannyrose
you two remind me of my beautiful jonah. he was a groenendahl( black shepherd). he never did get the idea that he was a BIG( read huge) dog. until the day he died, he still used to try and crawl onto my lap.
7:48 am
Haz1558
Yes, especially when a tennis ball appears. That dog can move!
7:48 am
grannyrose
have a lovely day, ibd.
7:49 am
bichon
What breed is he Haz?
7:49 am
Haz1558
He's a blue roan cocker spaniel.
7:50 am
Uneaixoise
he's gorgeous, haz! :-)
7:51 am
Haz1558
He hadn't been well socialised as a puppy so we're having to play catch-up. He's making progress!
7:51 am
Haz1558
Hello, Une.
7:51 am
bichon
Beautiful Haz
7:51 am
Uneaixoise
howdy :-)
7:51 am
bichon
Was he a rescue or owner surrender
7:52 am
Uneaixoise
morning, bichon :-)
7:52 am
Haz1558
He was supposedly going to be used as a show dog but the breeder felt that he was too small. He had been left with his mother too long and wasn't as good with people as he should have been.
7:53 am
bichon
I see you fostered a dog. I've been doing that for a Bichon rescue group
7:53 am
Haz1558
However, we're going to training classes and doing a lot of visiting etc and he's improving. It just takes time.
7:53 am
bichon
I'm sure you'll turn him into a people dog real soon Haz
7:55 am
Judi
He'll be pouring the tea in no time.
7:55 am
Haz1558

any hints on making mint tea? I just put a bunch of mint leaves into a teapot with boiling water =- anything else?
8:18 am
RoundBarn
hi ruby--I was telling the chat abt your limerick but thought it was granny rose--haz corrected me--I mostly quoted it--then said the two names were similar in feel and put you into Lewis carroll--grannyrose and rubyfoo agreed to have a battle--
8:18 am
Judi
Ruby - you might want to mix in some actual tea with that.
8:18 am
RoundBarn
that's the way my daughter made mint tea. Sshe'd dry mint leaves, too, for later teas.
8:19 am
rubyfoo
I have so much mint growing, two different types, that it's attempting to take over a corner of the garden
8:19 am
BzznBea
That was my thought too, Judi.
8:19 am
rubyfoo
that's funny about the limerick; I thought nobody noticed
8:20 am

Mint is such an evasive plant.

it's planted in a dry, unwelcoming spot, so as long as I cut it occasionlly, it is doing a good job
8:21 am

mint will take over... grows like a weed ; )
8:21 am
rubyfoo
I wish I could show you all my garden! The weird winter/spring made it much better than usual
8:21 am
RoundBarn
I coomented on it, but maybe you'd left the chat--I told Nef and uusue--the two of you I know a little--about it and told them to look at back chat that day, for it
8:21 am
BzznBea
You might want to thin it out too, ruby.
8:22 am

how do you make mojitos?
8:23 am
RoundBarn
now I can see my confusion--look at those hugs between you. No battle there, rattle or not. I have a saying by the tweedles in my bathroom--"let's fight until six and then have supper."
8:23 am

lime, mint, simple syrup, rum, club soda
8:23 am

rubyfoo
which day, I'll try to find it
8:26 am
grannyrose
the limerick??? earlier today, ruby.
8:27 am
RoundBarn
it's right here--the thing abt chat is responses get so separated unless you're very quick. I attributed the limerick to grannyrose and has corrected me. I then said the names were similar in FEEL and quoted Lewis Caroll's Tweedles, who agreed to have a battle--so that is the back story. Then I saw all those multiple hugs--probably another reason I confused you two
8:27 am

I just killed a couple of mosquitos in here though
12:15 pm

We've had so much rain here and it's been such a cold year that now that it's hot, the bugs are out full force. Of course, I'm a mosquito magnet and I get bit even with bug repellent on.

12:24 pm
Nef
I wonder about that sometimes. "They" (whoever "They" are!) say don't wear bright colors, don't eat bananas use bug repellent, etc. and DH seems to break every one of those rules I faithfully follow and he doesn't get bit up.
12:24 pm
hego
yes, ty for that one.
12:24 pm
Nef
YAY, Aloyisius!!! WTG!!!
12:26 pm
Aloyisius
have been playing Scrabble with the same friend for over 20 some years.. we know each other well.. so if we try to bluff, we both burst out laughing. She doesn't Babble, so this is the edge I have, since we have basically the same skill level
12:27 pm
hego
I'll bet she knows etui by now.
12:27 pm
Aloyisius
oh yes, that one doesn't stump her.. but some of the babblets.. lol, her eyes will get wide and she will say, "where did you learn THAT one?" ... by now she knows the answe4r

answer, i.e.
12:28 pm
Aloyisius
am playing her tomorrow and so hope I get the chance to use qu6, fun fun

Haven't you told her about Babble yet? Are you keeping this as a secret weapon?
12:29 pm
hego
do i hear an evil laugh?
12:29 pm
Aloyisius
Actually, Nef... I tried to get her to join Babble.. she tried it.. didn't like the big grids..

She can just do the smaller ones.

Oh, it's addictive okay.

I was working and neglecting my DH and home for Babble: work, Babble, work. Not good. But if it isn't interfering with the rest of your life, then it's okay

Intellect is not the point.

Soodle
Aaarrrgh. I've just had a thought. What if all 3 of you guys are the one person??? A face like Kap, wearing Stid shoes & smelling of Obsession?
4:28 pm
MollyL
That would be frightening on so many levels. Although I think Yetta would go for those shoes.

5:00 pm
lilliann

5:00 pm
Soodle
Yup. We get midges too. Frequently referred to as midgets, throwing Soodles imagination into overdrive,. "Jaze, I was et alive by the midgets last night'..,,

MollyL

5:07 pm
lilliann

5:08 pm
lilliann

((nef))
8:49 pm
Jillyjill
MMMMMM....best pizza ever!
8:51 pm
Nef
I'll bet! (I'm just jealous as all out because of them.) Are they normally that small for you though?
8:51 pm
Nef
Ours are usually bigger
8:52 pm
Jillyjill
There are two kinds, these ones are smaller, don't get much bigger than your palm. Then there are grayer ones later on.
8:53 pm
Jillyjill
the ones in my pic were the smaller ones that I had found
8:54 pm
Nef
okay. I was wondering when I saw them. Ours come out "when the oak leaves are the size of a squirrels ears" and most are larger
8:56 pm
Jillyjill
The ones I remember as a child were bigger than a hand. But that was over in the Gallatin...
8:56 pm
Jillyjill
oops...phone....brb
9:14 pm
Nef
I'm feeling a special kind of dumb tonight; trying to download my pictures in my Samsung phone into my Apple computer and I can't figure out how to do it. Any ideas anyone?
9:16 pm
penquis
sorry...don't have an apple...
9:18 pm
Nef
thanks anyway, penquis. I love my Macs; it's the android stuff that confuses me
9:19 pm
penquis
don't have an android phone either...
9:21 pm
Nef
:-) you should feel lucky then, penquis. I sometimes feel I'm being dragged into this new age and I'm kicking, screaming, and protesting the whole way.
9:21 pm
Jillyjill
Android and Mac do not play nicely together...
9:22 pm
Jillyjill
<----nerd
9:22 pm
Nef
I was told by my kids that I had to get a better phone so that we could text more to communicate better. They don't ever check their voice mails.
9:23 pm
Nef
Jilly, does that mean you can help me do this?
9:23 pm
Jillyjill
<----Mac illiterate
9:23 pm
Nef
Or does it mean you just know that they don't play well together?
9:24 pm
Jillyjill
Yup.... competing techmologies. Most folks that have Macs have iPhones
9:27 pm
Nef
I've now messaged my son for help. Reading through stuff I should be able to up load the pictures to the iCloud and they will automatically download to the mac; but I can't find the "talk to each other" button
9:27 pm
MollyL
It's also proprietary on the part of Macintosh. Mac computers seem to only do well with iPhone images. Windows computers work fine with any images.
9:28 pm
IndiaJan
Go to Settings/Wireless & Network/USB Utilities
Tap on the icon for connection. THEN only connect the USB cable. Tap on the icon and follow on screen instruction. The phone memory will act like a thumbdrive (mass storage) device, and like any thumbdrive, you can browse, move, copy, cut, paste... files and folders... etc.
