hello everyone :)

12:28 am

melonheadjujube

hi, nan. hi, ruru.

12:29 am

negativeneil

Oh very good, melon... I recorded a strange little piano composition once, while "under the influence". Here's the evidence:

12:30 am

negativeneil

All totally ad-libbed of course. And sounds like it I'm sure, haha. :P

12:30 am

melonheadjujube

tried the link got a not found, Neil.

12:30 am

negativeneil

Huh? Works fine for me... that's strange.

12:30 am

negativeneil

Oh, I know why!

12:31 am

negativeneil

The chog put that \ in the URL.

12:31 am

negativeneil

Remove that, then try.

12:31 am

melonheadjujube

Anyway, that is a pic of my dream come true. As I call it, the impiulse purchase that was decades in the making.

12:31 am

rururocks

trying new words...like pugel.. a cross between a dog and a horn instrument

12:31 am

stidmama

okay GR, pics posted.

12:31 am

negativeneil

I tried that one, ru! And actually admit it.

12:32 am

negativeneil

Oh wow melon... nice.

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

still no luck >:/

12:32 am

negativeneil

I'd love to have a Steinway.

12:32 am

melonheadjujube

chog sounds like recklessly consumed chocolate milk "he totally chogged it."

12:32 am

negativeneil

Huh melon? I'll email the link.

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

They are all they are cracked up to be. Mine is a 1975 Model L, about 6 feet.

12:33 am

melonheadjujube

OK, thanks!

12:35 am

negativeneil

Ok melon... check email.

12:35 am

negativeneil

But I warn you... it's pretty bad.

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

No worse than the silent film accompaniments on TCM. It's a bit Glassyâ€”as in Philip.

12:37 am

negativeneil

Oh? I think it's worse. Way worse. :P

12:37 am

rururocks

i don't see the wa 9.. what's it related to?

12:38 am

melonheadjujube

tailoring, ruru. Or anatomy.

12:38 am

negativeneil

It's something a woman watches when she's on a diet, ru.

12:38 am

cybernan

nbt, nbs

Haha, ursh.

12:38 am

rururocks

thanks everyone .. I'm an dummy

12:38 am

cybernan

or just a larger one than we'd like, ursh

12:39 am

melonheadjujube

LOL ursh. Most of us used to, at least (;

12:39 am

melonheadjujube

OK, around 3 1/2 minutes it sounds like an oncoming train...can I stop listening now?

12:41 am

negativeneil

I'm surprised you've listened that far. :P

12:41 am

negativeneil

Like I said... it's BAD.

12:41 am

melonheadjujube

Oh, here comes the part where our heroine wonders what has happened to her beau, who is out capturing the bad guys who threatened their frontier town. She's pacing in cirlces...

12:41 am

negativeneil

Haha.

12:41 am

melonheadjujube

I'm a good sport Neil. Ah, they're on horseback, come to a spring. I can hear the water bubbling.

12:42 am

negativeneil

Horse? No... elephant. :P

12:42 am

melonheadjujube

Have you ever watched the silent flicks on TCM around 2 am on Saturday nights?

12:42 am

negativeneil

I've seen them, yeah.

12:43 am

melonheadjujube

Yep, here are the elephants. They are about to stampede. And have come to an abrupt halt. No, the video is stalled.

12:43 am

negativeneil

And I say elephant, because:

melonheadjujube

OK, I gotta clear my cache, which usually means retarting firefox. brb

12:46 am

melonheadjujube

Whoa, that's you on an elephant and it doesn't look photochopped!

12:47 am

negativeneil

Well yeah, I rode an elephant in Chiang Mai. I'll send you the full size copy.

12:48 am

negativeneil

Unfortunately Picasa resizes large photos and makes them much smaller... very annoying.

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

cool.

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

That had to be a thrill.

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

I prefer flickr

12:52 am

negativeneil

Actually here... it's better on photobucket:

Yep. It was HOT.

12:57 am

melonheadjujube

1:46 am

puglet

I dont know what happen to our Rose---not too good of news yesterday for her Sprite

1:46 am

sprite

oh dear :(

1:47 am

puglet

I will let her tell you cause I dont know how to spell all the medical words

1:48 am

puglet

so how are you Sprite?

1:48 am

sprite

that's fine, I think she will be back with us soon

1:49 am

sprite

very sleepy and tired, had to start on double dose of meds yesterday. But otherwise I am fine. And you?

1:49 am

puglet

Iam here--lol--okay really

1:49 am

puglet

meds for your sugar?

1:50 am

sprite

yeah, the sugar ones

1:50 am

sprite

glad to hear you are ok :) Must be a good feeling to see gradyn like this. And knowing you are partly responsible for his perking up and feeling safer.

1:51 am

puglet

I dont know about you but when my sister's sugar is high it makes her tired and sluggish

1:51 am

sprite

same goes for me, probably. I don't know yet. Sugar hasn't been down since diagnosed, we are still working on getting the dose right.

1:51 am

puglet

yes it does Sprite

1:56 am

puglet

I seen something sad on tv last night and I cant get the images out of my head. Its making me kind of down and sad---Dedroit MI went bankrupt and lots of people have left the city leaving behind their dogs.So they got thousands of homeless dogs wondering the streets. Some are still staying about their homes or in the homes waitiing for their owners. Its such a sad thing. Them wondering where their owners are. I would never just pack up and leave my animals like that.

1:57 am

sprite

me neither. Animals are people too. And more vulnerable than most humans and therefore more entitled to our care... not less. *hugs pug*

1:58 am

puglet

thanks Sprite--makes me cry now--those faces they showed

1:59 am

gapeach

Maybe Unea could have suggestions for the homeless little ones. I won't say Animal Control, but there are probable people who would "foster" them until they find a home.

1:59 am

sprite

one of the reasons I really don't watch the ne4. I can't handle it. I will hold you while you cry, hun. Sorry it made you so sad.

2:01 am

sprite

I know I would, peach. Must be lots of people willing.

2:01 am

puglet

Peach I guess the problem is so huge with so many left they cant handle it all. People are taking bags of food and dumping it here and there. You would never think a city as big as that would go bankrupt

2:03 am

gapeach

I do hope it was on TV, that is always a place to start.....and newspapers also.

2:04 am

puglet

Yes it was on last night on the world news

2:06 am

gapeach

Good. Usually, air time helps. I would think a city that big would have volunteers and shelters where they are well kept.

2:07 am

gapeach

Hey, how about contacting the ASPCA?

2:07 am

sprite

back in a minute, time for meds

2:09 am

puglet

I dont know Peach. The news said they had only four people working on it due to no funds in the city. It must have had be going on for some time because now some of the dogs has formed packs.

2:10 am

puglet

I hope now that it has been aired that help will come

2:12 am

gapeach

Oh, dear! One of my neighbors rescues cats. She has a friend near Atlanta who rescues dogs and I believe horses. I will talk to my neighbor and see if she has any ideas.

2:12 am

sprite

back

2:12 am

puglet

thats so nice of you Peach

2:12 am

puglet

good Sprite

2:13 am

sprite

oh wow peach, awesome

2:14 am

puglet

I love Charles Standly the tv preacher from Alanta

2:15 am

puglet

Have you ever gotten to see him Peach

2:17 am

puglet

need more coffee brb

2:17 am

gapeach

The volunteers need to keep in the forefront of news. Some people who would help but got sidetracked. They may make fliers and have them taken, perhaps, to all the shops and restaurants. Teenagers, who have the stamina, would be helpful if asked.

2:18 am

sprite

good ideas, all

2:19 am

gapeach

Oh, pug, I don't know Rev. Standly.

2:19 am

joso

hi peach, pug, sprite, and likely lurking gran. nice of you to say you were missing me, makes me feel all toasty and gooey inside, ewuuuuw. Pug sorry, can't find any antivirus that will run on your box so best to keep what you have.

2:20 am

hiya joso :) Glad to see you.

2:20 am

Hi Joso!

2:21 am

gapeach

Hey there, joso.

2:21 am

joso

2:22 am

puglet

thanks Peach for reaching out----dont know what you are speaking of Joso

2:22 am

joso

Pug sorry, can't find any antivirus that will run on your box so best to keep what you have.

2:23 am

puglet

2:23 am

puglet

2:24 am

joso

2:24 am

puglet

I got a darn cricket inside the house and its singing is getting on my nerves-lol

2:25 am

joso

what city is it that is nearly bankrupt pug

2:26 am

puglet

as long as I can babble this will do until I can find me a better computer.

2:26 am

puglet

It did bankrupt Joso--detroit MI

2:28 am

joso

I always think of crickets as playing itsy bitsy fiddles ever since a cartoon I saw as a kid, and the rubbing hind legs thing is kind of like fiddleing

2:28 am

puglet

well this does not sound like a fiddle--lol

2:28 am

joso

oh yea, have heard of that one, thought there might be another, are you near detroit?

2:29 am

sprite

the chinese believe it brings luck and prosperity if a cricket wants to live in your house, pug

2:29 am

puglet

Lizlin

Hi again.

2:37 am

sprite

it is a lake in Arkansas, if I am not mistaken

2:37 am

puglet

welcome back Liz

2:37 am

joso

hi liz

2:37 am

sprite

lol Ouwachita :D

2:37 am

grannyrose

am going to try to work in between, pugs. ankle fine. drove the car today, no probs.

2:38 am

sprite

please take care, rose? Not sure if work is such a great idea?

2:39 am

Lizlin

Hey Rose - hugs from me too. Sounds like you need them :)

2:39 am

grannyrose

strange that...all of a sudden they have found heaps for me to do, all sitting down.

2:39 am

puglet

you know that being up on your feet is not good on your ligs. Yes Rose please take care

2:39 am

grannyrose

i'm okay, now, really i am. resigned to it.

2:39 am

sprite

how interesting. Please note in the diary that very observation!

2:40 am

grannyrose

lolol, tongue in cheek, of course

2:40 am

sprite

cheeky tongue!

2:41 am

sprite

joso and rose, thanks for the cold vino

2:41 am

grannyrose

we have accreditation happening at the end of the year. there is so much to do, paperwork-wise.

2:41 am

grannyrose

np's sprite

2:42 am

puglet

Rose I dont know if you caught it before you left while ago but Sprite helped me get Gradyn's picture on my profile

2:42 am

sprite

as long as you remember to take very good care of yourself, rose...

2:43 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs dear. i saw it. what a cute little fellow he is. no wonder you are besotted with him. looks like butter wouldn't melt in his mouth.

2:43 am

sprite

lol I get much of the credit, but all I did was giving the guide. Puglet is becoming computer-savvy so quickly!

2:43 am

puglet

you might invest in a seatbelt too at work just to make sure you dont fall out of it--lol

2:43 am

joso

don't know what you are talking about sprite, but of course the troublesome twosome can always find booze

2:43 am

Lizlin

Yikes! Accreditation! Poor thing!

2:43 am

sprite

lol pug

2:43 am

grannyrose

sprite, this time i can take all the time i need, and i am going to do just that

2:43 am

sprite

joso: the ei7 is the cold vino.

2:44 am

joso

ah, i never knew

2:44 am

sprite

ok rose. Forgive me for worrying :) I know you know what you are doing.

2:45 am

grannyrose

s'okay, sprite. i am learning to let others express themselves without being judgmental.

2:46 am

puglet

If we worry about others we got little time to worry about ourselves

2:46 am

sprite

:D

2:46 am

joso

I'd think babble would give you lots of practice at that gran

2:46 am

grannyrose

lol, yeah, liz...the word that makes hospital managers cringe.

2:48 am

grannyrose

joso, i do so hope i do not give the impression of being judgmental. please, please pull me up, and tell me if it is so.

2:48 am

sprite

you never struck me as such, rose. Not at all.

2:49 am

puglet

Me either nor Sprite

2:49 am

Lizlin

I'm sure you'll be fine but it really p*s me off that there's so much focus on paper in teaching and medicine! Wrong focus!

2:49 am

joso

i never got that impression, a woman that knows her mind and with a strong spirit, but not judgy or preachy

2:50 am

grannyrose

lol, liz, exactly. and there are so many committees, and sub-committees. for goodness sake....look after the patients.

2:51 am

Lizlin

Will they ever realise that we can do our jobs effectively without hot air and trees!

2:52 am

Lizlin

Well, my ex-job!

2:52 am

sprite

our family doctor told us she used to run the practice by herself, doing deliveries too, and acupuncture, and still worked less hours than nowadays... with all the red tape she makes longer days but spends less time with her patients.

2:52 am

grannyrose

nope, never. and EVERYTHING has to be audited. *sigh*

2:52 am

Lizlin

Big , no huge sigh

2:52 am

puglet

are you a nurse too Liz

2:53 am

Lizlin

No, I used to teach, when I lived in London.

2:53 am

joso

seems to be something that just grows as organisations age. older orgs should get a regular bureaucracy pruning

2:53 am

puglet

taught nursing?

2:54 am

Lizlin

But the focus there became more on meetings and paperwork rather than the kids.

2:54 am

Lizlin

Primary school.

2:54 am

grannyrose

lol, yeah, joso. or just shake a bit, and watch the rotten apples roll away.

3:01 am

sprite

did the chog die or freeze?

3:01 am

sprite

guess not... all busy doing other stuff... like babbling ;)

3:02 am

joso

hard to believe we ran out of stuff to say

3:02 am

puglet

Well Iam holding myself back from talking so much since I do so almost everyday--giving others a chance

3:02 am

Lizlin

Doing the usual at this time. Babbling and tv!

3:02 am

sprite

we didn't, I am sure :) Just out of time to say it in... or out of focus!

3:03 am

sprite

hehehe regular multitasking there, Liz

3:03 am

Lizlin

Finding this grid not the easiest! Slow going in fact.

3:03 am

sprite

yeah, not many series in this one

3:04 am

Lizlin

Down time! Hubby does computer stuff and I catch up on stuff he doesn't want to watch!

3:04 am

puglet

I want to put down gasline but I guess its 2 words instead of one

3:04 am

sprite

:)

3:04 am

joso

ha got the 9

3:04 am

grannyrose

watching a program on a lady who helps families make their very old houses pay for themselves.

3:05 am

sprite

3:05 am

puglet

3:05 am

3:07 am

grannyrose

this house has been owned by 14 generations of the family. the mind boggles!!

3:08 am

puglet

3:09 am

Lizlin

Sounds good. Mine uses less focus - it's an old doctor who! But I just looked at the country house programme. Have seen similar and like them!

3:09 am

puglet

Oh that sounds really good Rose--I like things like that

3:09 am

grannyrose

lol, pugs, i speak english, anaestheticese, surgeon, physician, and donaldese

3:10 am

sprite

dear ones, am gonna leave the rest for later. Am so very sleepy, I think I am gonna give in to it and take a nap. *hugs*

3:10 am

puglet

giggle Rose

3:10 am

grannyrose

3:10 am

Lizlin

puglet

3:37 am

I'm here pug, how are things with you anyway

3:38 am

puglet

everything is good and you? Did you go pooling

3:38 am

grannyrose

sorry, peeps, was off chatting to mrp.

3:38 am

joso

yes i swam,

3:38 am

puglet

first time Ive met her

3:39 am

puglet

you should be so proud of yourself Joso for keeping up with the exercises

3:41 am

joso

I will have to make some other arrangements, my pool is at a school and the students will return next week

3:41 am

grannyrose

joso!! you rock, mate. am proud of your staying power.

3:41 am

puglet

is there no boy's club near or some gym

3:41 am

grannyrose

joso, is the pool not open before school-time?

3:43 am

puglet

Rose does your hospital have water therapy

3:43 am

joso

I don't know what will happen, all the parks dept. schedules end this month and they haven't posted anything for sept. yet

3:44 am

puglet

well I wish you luck on finding a way to continue

3:45 am

grannyrose

no, pugs. but i use a pool in a school nearby for my hydrotherapy. we are allowed the use of the pool until 9am. big plus is that the water has been filtered and treated overnight, so no nasties.

3:45 am

joso

I imagine there will be fewer pools open as fewer want to swim when it is cooler, but there should be some

3:45 am

puglet

what about dancing?

3:45 am

puglet

does you hubby go too Rose and does it help

3:46 am

grannyrose

hmmm, joso. cutting it a bit fine, aren't they?

3:47 am

puglet

are all the pools outdoors Joso

3:47 am

joso

i don't really feel comfortable at the clubs any longer, I'll leave that to my niece

3:47 am

grannyrose

hubby drives me there and back...and yes, it is very helpful. believe it or not, your muscles work very hard in the water, but without the stress of weight on the limb.

3:47 am

joso

no, but obviously the outdoor ones will close

3:48 am

puglet

why dosent your hubby go with you Rose? Is he so fine he dont need it--lol

3:48 am

joso

I like that you don't notice the sweat, don't feel icky as you work out

3:49 am

grannyrose

lol, pugs, no. but i do the exercises under the direction of my physiotherapist.

3:50 am

puglet

so hes not allowed to use it--that sucks

3:52 am

joso

i did discover that you still need to clean, been skipping showers as I've been swimming at least every other day, been gradually feeling grotty without knowing why, showered today and felt 10 times better, soap makes all the difference. For a bright guy I am such an idiot at times.

3:52 am

puglet

Joso -do you have alot of snow where you live in canada

3:53 am

puglet

lol--yeah those chemical in the pools are not the best body lotions

3:54 am

joso

not too much, about 3 months of snow. as a child i remember there being more.

3:54 am

puglet

Iam surprise that they havent dried out your skin

3:54 am

gran

ei 7/44 - clue please

3:54 am

grannyrose

*giggle* i used to be a brunette. and in my younger days, i discovered even brown hair goes green if you don't wash it after each swim.:(

3:55 am

joso

ei, german for icewine

3:55 am

grannyrose

gran, ei + anagram of 5 letter word for pig

3:57 am

joso

3:57 am

joso

3:57 am

grannyrose

3:58 am

joso

3:58 am

grannyrose

3:58 am

puglet

3:58 am

puglet

congrats Gran

3:58 am

grannyrose

lol, joso, so sad....we understand each other.

3:59 am

joso

If my hair goes green maybe then I'll start clubbing

3:59 am

grannyrose

pugs, not this green...it was repulsive.

4:00 am

joso

it's a great song, makes me laugh every time I hear it, smiling just thinking about it.

4:01 am

joso

I love when she snaps and shouts FIX IT

4:01 am

puglet

what song are you talking about Joso

4:03 am

grannyrose

over to you joso

4:03 am

joso

good to get a little story with your music, "there's a hole in my bucket" pug.

4:03 am

puglet

ahh I know that one!

4:04 am

puglet

Havent heard it in years!

4:04 am

joso

belafonte and I forget

4:05 am

grannyrose

lol, i like that song sooo much. my grandfather used to sing it to me, it has fascinated me ever since.

4:07 am

puglet

at our wal-mart store they have a 5$ rack of old songs on cds and whenever possible I try getting one to build up a collection. Yesterday I got one by Grand Funk Railroad

4:08 am

puglet

and I bet you are singing it now, arent you? lol

4:08 am

joso

belafonte and odetta... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yD-ffhv\nefsw

4:08 am

joso

listening to it

4:09 am

grannyrose

good guess, pugs....he's singing it....

4:15 am

joso

thanks for bring that back gran

4:18 am

rubyfoo

good morning

4:18 am

puglet

93 today with 100and up index--:(

4:19 am

joso

hi ruby

4:19 am

puglet

Morning Ruby--how are you?

4:19 am

rubyfoo

wow,pugs, it is not even 60F here, really cold and it feels like summer is over.

4:19 am

puglet

send it my way Ruby!

4:20 am

rubyfoo

I loved the summer, didn't mind the heat since the humidity was low. And after our awful spring and winter, th warmth was a pleaure

4:20 am

rubyfoo

can I also send my depressed husband? I've asked his daughter to come for his birthday, even offered to pay for her ticket, but she's too busy!

4:21 am

puglet

why not--I will give you a break

4:22 am

puglet

Is today his b-day

4:22 am

rubyfoo

no, it's at the end of Sept and he'll be 88.

4:22 am

rubyfoo

She lives in California,so it's a big deal, but stilll.....

4:23 am

puglet

could he go to her?

4:23 am

rubyfoo

no he can't travel any more and he didn't want her to come,I tried to arrange it as a birthday surprise

4:23 am

grannyrose

hellooo, my dearest ruby...and a very happy birthday to burt when?

4:24 am

rubyfoo

It's the last time I offer!

4:24 am

rubyfoo

30 Sept

4:24 am

puglet

Maybe you can plan something extra special for him then

4:24 am

grannyrose

ahhh, making a note of it...

4:25 am

rubyfoo

she'll be very sorry if he doesn't make it through the winter.....

4:26 am

puglet

thats too bad she cant find time for him

4:26 am

rubyfoo

but there's just so much I can do

4:26 am

grannyrose

ruby, we try to make mother mac's birthday each year a special occasion. the family, after her 90th, just will not come anymore.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

how aware is she of things like that?

4:28 am

grannyrose

and so it goes, sweetie. you do what you can, and if the family won't come to the party, well it's their loss. surprise, dear. mother mac is quite on the ball.

4:29 am

rubyfoo

but is starting to lose it, mentally. He is surprisingly physically strong, so it bodes ill for the future

4:29 am

rubyfoo

burt*

4:31 am

grannyrose

ruby, please look out for yourself. elderly gents can become very physical. i have had 80+ year olds try to strangle me with their hands, and via my stethoscope, which was around my neck.

4:32 am

rubyfoo

if he ever touches me, he's outta here

4:33 am

puglet

when not in their right mind Ruby they do things they would never do

4:33 am

grannyrose

ruby, it won't be him, per se. it will be just the way his brain is working at the time.

4:34 am

rubyfoo

but that's a line I've drawn. When he's nasty (verbally), I just leave the room

4:34 am

puglet

Rose is right you need to take caution

4:34 am

rubyfoo

Doesn't matter if he can control it or not' I am too small to deal with anything physical

4:37 am

puglet

someone like that can draw you into depression too Ruby so its just not physical but mental health too you need to be cautious about

4:37 am

grannyrose

absolutely, ruby. protect yourself...or you won't be able to help him.

4:38 am

rubyfoo

true, pugs, but the dogs and my babble friends keep me sane and happy enough

4:38 am

rubyfoo

I can't help him and realize it

4:38 am

joso

that's a good line, important to recognise when a situation is getting beyond your control, can be tough if it's a creeping change

4:39 am

lynxxx

ah, the joys getting old...all these great things we have to consider. Hello all

4:39 am

puglet

same for me too Ruby. My guy can be nasty too with verbal abuse

4:39 am

joso

hi lynx

4:39 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxx

puglet

Hi Lyn

4:39 am

4:40 am

rubyfoo

whoops, you guys are my ang***

4:40 am

lynxxx

Ruby - is there anthing local that Burt will be able to go to when he becomes to difficult for you to handle (physically I mean)

4:40 am

puglet

ahhh hugs Ruby

4:41 am

rubyfoo

there is no way he would voluntarily go to the local home. I would sooner hire somebody to come here every day to take care of him if I can't

4:42 am

grannyrose

hey lyn

4:42 am

rubyfoo

I could put him into the guest room which has its own bath etc

4:42 am

grannyrose

what about a social group?

4:43 am

lynxxx

Hopefully it won't come to that but I am pleased you are considering options

4:43 am

rubyfoo

he won't tak to anybody but me and th housekeeper

4:44 am

rubyfoo

and now, off to lunch

4:44 am

grannyrose

enjoy, my dear.

4:44 am

rubyfoo

lynxxx, other than the aches and pains of creeping age i'm doing okay. Fall is just around the corner here.

7:55 am

bichon

Yeah Fall, my favorite.

7:56 am

lynxxx

know what you mean though mine aren't permanent - yet

7:56 am

Anniebrook

and I hope they are never permanent

7:57 am

bichon

I'm certainly in the same age group Annie.

7:58 am

Anniebrook

dont think so, bichon...have you and the fluffs back to normal after the visit?

7:58 am

Anniebrook

*are you

7:58 am

lynxxx

I have only started gym in the last couple of years and has made quite a difference for me - keeps the problems at bay

7:59 am

lynxxx

have you been having more fosters Bichon?

7:59 am

Anniebrook

I belong to a gym but dont go as often as I should

8:00 am

bichon

I've been gone too much this summer, but am hoping for another soon.

8:01 am

bichon

It is so nice and quiet here since the grands left. Looking forward to more of the same

Judi

Happy hump day, Babblers!

8:08 am

bichon

Hi Judi

8:11 am

MollyL

Ah, a pink rotary phone. It doesn't get much more retro than that. : D

8:12 am

MollyL

I'm glad it's still Hump Day. I thought, after recent events, they might have changed it to Twerk Day.
: P

8:13 am

bichon

Did you see that twerk is now in the OED [Oxford English Dictionary]

8:13 am

Judi

Uhg! Call me oblivious, but I never heard the term "twerking" until the MIley Cirus skank-fest.

8:14 am

MollyL

It's pretty sad what they will add to the OED these days.

8:15 am

MollyL

Twerk...combination of twitch and jerk...what people who can't dance, do.

8:15 am

Judi

This is true. However, I'd trade Enabel for the OED in a heartbeat.

8:15 am

MollyL

Yeah, me too. At least OED updates.

8:15 am

bichon

I think that the OED picks up current new jargon

8:15 am

Judi

And so much more fun to say than "seizure".

8:16 am

bichon

I need to go "walkies" bbl

8:25 am

8:38 am

rubyfoo

I had all the original comic books [[ let them slip through my fingers. Who knew?

8:38 am

uusue2

ah well, if we'd all kept them they wouldn't be rare, either...

8:38 am

Judi

Hmm. Some stuff maybe. Mostly what I had was junk.

8:39 am

rubyfoo

didn't think of that

8:39 am

Judi

I actually feel sorry for all those people who collected Beanie Babies. Oy vey.

8:45 am

Anniebrook

ei7---someone clued it earlier as ei and anagram of another word for a pig

8:46 am

uusue2

8:46 am

Anniebrook

hi sue

8:46 am

uusue2

hi annie!

8:47 am

uusue2

8:47 am

Judi

Ty for the ei7 clue.

Anniebrook

hi and nbt

9:42 am

hurshy

now why did sherlock tell watson that the things moriarty said about him were true? i mean, it didn't seem like that was even necessary to prevent the snipers from firing. so was that somehow necessary to his being able to survive and fake his death? (i rewatched the reichenbach fall recently, can you tell?)

9:49 am

hurshy

ok... uninteresting topic

9:49 am

hurshy

10:26 am

welki

ohhhh, in the southern part of brooklyn, little texas :)

10:27 am

jmcnrick

haha i hear there are more russians in brooklyn than any other group now

10:28 am

welki

which neighborhood, jm? (and yes, i was talking with anniebrook just the other day about that - huge russian population)

10:28 am

jmcnrick

but i can see how you would have gotten confused. . . the wide open range of prospect park. . .

10:28 am

welki

did you go walking in the botanical gardens?

10:29 am

welki

that's a lovely area, always has been (even when folks said it was in decline)

10:30 am

welki

ohhhh, give me a home, where the flying rats roam, and the deer and the antelope aren't ...

10:31 am

jmcnrick

we saw a black headed heron there. . . on the other side of the scum covered lake from the dog pool. . .

10:31 am

jmcnrick

then we went to lunch at a fairly decent mexican restaurant. . .

10:31 am

10:32 am

hurshy

i've downloaded 2 things recently - the theme song from "jeeves & wooster" and a 1935 "i can't give you anything but love" and they send me email suggesting i preorder katy perry's new album. um, no.

10:34 am

MollyL

Ew! That was a quantum leap.

Dorens

10:48 am

MollyL

10:48 am

Dorens

You could't keep up with another punner? He must have been horrendous

10:48 am

Book Doctor Gwen

10:49 am

10:55 am

rururocks

bye nan

10:56 am

hurshy

that's a very wide range, ruru

10:56 am

hurshy

you might consider a clue that narrows our search

10:56 am

rururocks

you can keep your hat on

10:56 am

hurshy

i will do that

10:57 am

Onpaki

is the ei7 tough?

10:57 am

rururocks

that was the clue hursh

10:58 am

hurshy

i figured. :) i just responded because ... i am unlikely to get the answer... but hopefully someone will

10:58 am

rururocks

Hint.. it was the lead song in the Full Monty

10:58 am

hurshy

i'm going to say yes, onpaki, but, that's only cause i can't find it

10:59 am

hurshy

ok, trying to remember what they sang in that movie

10:59 am

rururocks

ei I sure don't see one

10:59 am

hurshy

and then i'm very bad with knowing what band sang what song

10:59 am

Book Doctor Gwen

fireworks! (she whispered)

11:00 am

hurshy

something about being sexy? or stripping?

11:00 am

hurshy

11:03 am

hurshy

no but i haven't any idea how to get the ei7 still

11:03 am

Book Doctor Gwen

what i remember most about the Full Monty was that there was a strike going on in the movie, and our hero was sneaking into the plant, and a kid asking his dad what was going on, and his dad started explaining what a strike was, which is not what the kid needed to know

11:04 am

cgypsy

ei + plural letter and a hot dog or ****er

11:04 am

Book Doctor Gwen

ei7, here we go. e + present tense of "was" + another name for a hot dog w***ie

11:04 am

hurshy

hurshy

sorry about that, i'm a teetotaler.

11:04 am

Book Doctor Gwen

MollyL

My edges have been grey for years, that's why I go see the Hair Color Goddess.

11:14 am

rururocks

what's wrong with grey edges?

11:16 am

MollyL

They infringe on my "I'm still young, damn it" illusion.

11:16 am

rururocks

oh...

11:16 am

rururocks

hasn't that ship sailed :D

11:17 am

cgypsy

u better duck ru

Sssh...I'm shopping at Forever 21...

11:18 am

rururocks

I'm grey on the edges.. I get joke exemptions with Molly

11:18 am

cgypsy

lol

11:19 am

rururocks

ah... if I were 21 again.. I'd do things a lot differently

11:19 am

MollyL

See Gypsy, if I was old, cranky and had no sense of humor, that comment would have bothered me.
: D

11:21 am

cgypsy

your only 6 anyway....long time away from cranky and u have a great sense of humor

11:30 am

hurshy

i see i opened a can of worms and then went away

11:31 am

hurshy

well i have 2 ju and 4 je, anyone help me toward my missing j?

11:34 am

hurshy

fine, see if i invite any of you on my yacht.

11:35 am

Haz1558

There are 3 ju words.

11:35 am

hurshy

aha, haz, you will be the first guest on the J.

11:35 am

ivesy3

there is a ju 5 and i cant swim

11:35 am

hurshy

ok um, that was really just a ploy to elicit clues, there is no yacht nor ever likely to be one.

11:35 am

Haz1558

Do I get to eat at the captain's table?

11:36 am

hurshy

you're the queen of the world, of COURSE you get to eat at the captain's table!

11:36 am

Haz1558

That's good.

11:36 am

ivesy3

oh i am heartbroken... such lies, such deceit... i like u!!

11:37 am

hurshy

how are things in your idyllic corner of the world, haz?

11:37 am

Haz1558

Poor ivesy, the scales have fallen from her eyes.

11:38 am

Haz1558

Things are fine, I'm getting my packing list done for holidays.

11:38 am

hurshy

where are you going?

11:38 am

ivesy3

yep.. cant see out of my glasses..boo hoo

11:38 am

Haz1558

Eeeeeetaly - Lake Garda.

11:38 am

hurshy

niiiiiice

11:39 am

Haz1558

Si.

11:39 am

hurshy

yeah that's my second blatant lie. it started the other day when i said coffee would be allowed at my house in order to get... umm... was it ruru? to say he would watch the princess bride.

11:40 am

Haz1558

I've never watched it either.

11:40 am

hurshy

well he was under the impression that it was a chick flick which it is NOT.

11:41 am

Haz1558

And even if it were a chick flick, if you enjoy it, it doesn't matter.

11:41 am

hurshy

it just suddenly struck me when he said he would watch it if i would allow coffee at my house, why not just say "fine" because, he would never know, lol

11:42 am

hurshy

what with it being a virtual world here and all

11:42 am

Haz1558

I know, you could tell him it had been delivered by the lorry load. He couldn't check - you could ask hard questions about the movie to make sure he had watched it.

11:43 am

hurshy

yeah, it seemed like a very silly sort of a thing

11:43 am

hurshy

now i have just given it away so if he hasn't got around to watching it yet, oh well.

11:44 am

Haz1558

Phone

11:49 am

Haz1558

And back, but time to forage for tea. Not the drinking kind, the evening meal kind.

11:50 am

hurshy

have something yummy for me

11:50 am

Haz1558

I'll try. It won't be as good as what I'll expect at the captain's table.

11:50 am

hurshy

on the J

11:51 am

Haz1558

Yes?

11:51 am

hurshy

:)

11:51 am

hurshy

that's what i'm planning to name the yacht, if i ever get one

11:51 am

hurshy

the J

11:52 am

Haz1558

Just J?

11:52 am

hurshy

just J

11:52 am

hurshy

it's very sesame street, don't you think?

11:52 am

Haz1558

It saves on paint, that's for sure.

11:53 am

Haz1558

And you don't run the risk of the sign-writer getting it wrong.

I saw a label in Marks and Spencer today - they had lenght instead of length. Standards are slipping everywhere.

11:55 am

hurshy

did you see that some dictionaries are now including the wrong definition of "literally" - when people say, for instance, "my head, like, literally exploded!" ? thankfully not the OED i believe.

11:56 am

Haz1558

Yes, I saw that. I was literally amazed.

Do you have good weather for the parade?

1:21 pm

Jillyjill

Semi good. A few sprinkles. But no one here complaining with all the fires around us.

1:24 pm

Jillyjill

Usually is good weather for our fair (falling on Labour Day weekend here). Also usually start heading near freezing for lows, certainly hoping not as my corn needs a few more days to ripen.

1:25 pm

ChrissieDee

Do you have a farm?

1:26 pm
