oh, good grief, is their one? No, ty. I have 102 but I don't even know how many I need.

2:29 am

jwr

2:29 am

grannyrose

my phantom was quasi...lost count of the number of times i went to put it in

2:29 am

grannyrose

196, jwr

2:29 am

jwr

ah, not so bad for a start. Thanks rose. and hello.

2:30 am

grannyrose

* smiling at you* that is a very good start

2:31 am

jwr

what a sweet smile! "wave back"

2:31 am

jwr

as usual, just starting work -- will be in and out all night

2:31 am

grannyrose

awww, thanx

2:32 am

grannyrose

you a night-shift worker then? where abouts?

2:33 am

jwr

yw just a reminder that I'm not able to be as polite and coherent as the regular chogfolk since I have to duck out fast when I have a call.

2:35 am

jwr

to answer your question -- I am a volunteer and volunteer-trainer for a crisis line covering several N.Cal counties - includes national HIV/AIDS line. They all go 24/7.

2:36 am

grannyrose

well done you, jwr. i am proud to have met you. it would not be something i could do.

2:38 am

jwr

ah, almost everyone on the lines said that before they started (not about me, about not being able, of course) -- and you do have to have a reason to be there in the first place (mine was having been an AIDS-care nurse specialist)

2:39 am

jwr

but as most of the chogfolk know, we can handle (i.e. get used to) just about anything. Even battle becomes routine to the warrior.

2:40 am

jwr

ty for the kind words. I do read/lurk/glance over regularly and keep up with the thorns and roses of your lives.

2:41 am

grannyrose

oh...i'm a recovery room nurse, work in the private sector

2:41 am

jwr

Grand for granny.

2:42 am

grannyrose

and trust me, i would not be able to do what you are doping. i have too much empathy...can't even handle kids when they come thru. it tears me to pieces when they cry.

2:42 am

grannyrose

*doing* lol

2:46 am

jwr

The best clinically trained nurses I ever worked with were English. ... Yes you would. It isn't a matter of empathy; it's a matter of knowing how to stop the crying, start communicating their fear and anger and frustration, etc. -- the venting is the big part -- then focusing them on emotional support. You don't think about your own feelings at the time.

2:46 am

dizgrannie

jwr....you seem like a legend in my books...have been a volunteer/paid worker for kids in crisis....very heart rendering at times.

2:48 am

grannyrose

hey ya diz, how you doing with the grid? so you understand what i am so clumsily trying to say.

2:48 am

jwr

then all of us know that kids are the hardest to work with. It's because they don't really believe their is a tomorrow. Only a now and a here.

2:49 am

jwr

off I go - thanks diz and rose for the kind words. A kiss on the cheek

2:51 am

grannyrose

hope you have an easy night, jwr

2:53 am

dizgrannie

nightie nite JWR xoxo. Rose, I worked in a boys 'respite home' for 5 yrs and we had some terrible cases come thro. I was upset/cried so much at some of the cases we had that I left before I went completely overboard.....but still volunteered for awhile.

2:54 am

grannyrose

you are amazing, diz...

2:59 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

2:59 am

dizgrannie

LOL I remember once when welfare bought these 3 kiddos in @ 8:30 one night....we only, usually, had boys from 5 upwards. We had to literally cut the nappy off the bubs (around 18 mths) and the elder 2 were as bad....we burnt all their clothes...when welfare came the next morning to pick them up, we got a slap on the wrist for 'burning the evidence'....luckily they had enough evidence in the boot of their car on what their bedding etc was like.

3:02 am

dizgrannie

that was 30 odd yrs ago...not like today when Dept of Family Services either ignore complaints or go the other way and go 'overboard' on a childs whim/complaint against Mummy.

3:03 am

dizgrannie

Hi Liz!!

3:03 am

Lizlin

Hi Diz - I've got huge admiration for anyone who can do the sort of work described by you, JWR and Rose.

3:04 am

grannyrose

hi liz

3:04 am

dizgrannie

Liz....hard work and very draining, but when something goes the right way....exhilarating!!

3:05 am

Lizlin

Hi Rose

3:05 am

Lizlin

I have a slight understanding because of teaching - when you finally help a kid to understand something it's very rewarding but still doesn't really compare!

3:07 am

Lizlin

BBL

3:11 am

dizgrannie

yes it does, Liz. Our g/son is ODHD OCC (alphabet bugger as my mum calls him) he is in yr 4 and has a very good teacher who manages to calm him down when needed. G/son is allowed to take his MP3 player to school, hands it to his teacher....but if he is starting to get frustrated or annoyed, or feels a temper; coming on, he can sit in the corner reading a book and listen to music...might only take him 5 minutes, but better than a full on dreaded tantrum

3:19 am

Lizlin

What a fantastic teacher :)

3:21 am

grannyrose

need to go, dinner nearly ready. catch you all at the flip. xoxoxox

3:21 am

Bon Appetit Rose. Enjoy the evening

how are you? Is it spring there? We are just starting our grey, rainy autumn

4:04 am

Lizlin

Beautiful spring here. It's been pretty warm and we're doing lots of beach walks. Sorry about your weather. Do you get the lovely colours of autumn?

4:05 am

Lizlin

Did Burt enjoy his birthday last week?

4:05 am

rubyfoo

the colors are very uted here, not like in the US, no msaples or sumac in the wood above us, so it's just green, yellow and brown

4:06 am

rubyfoo

I think he did; I did my best to make it happy

4:06 am

Lizlin

There's some lovely blossom on the trees now but otherwise we don't get too much colour here.

4:06 am

Lizlin

I'm sure you made it a great say for him.

4:07 am

Lizlin

Day!

4:07 am

rubyfoo

what color blossoms? Do you have ca6's there?

4:07 am

Lizlin

Lots of purple and some yellow and red.

4:08 am

Lizlin

Don't think I've found the ca6 yet!

4:08 am

rubyfoo

Spring is usually beautiful here, but it passed us by this year

4:08 am

rubyfoo

lke a croc, not a flower

4:09 am

Lizlin

I loved seeing all the flowers in Victoria this summer.

4:10 am

Lizlin

We have crocs in Queensland but not really here though there are a few that they think that people have released into the rivers.

4:10 am

Lizlin

And yes, I have that word!

4:10 am

rubyfoo

that's like the urban legend of alligators in the NYC sewer system

4:11 am

Lizlin

Very similar except this isn't myth!

4:11 am

rubyfoo

How cute they are as babies. In Florida, they have a huge problem now with Burmese pythons, also cute when small, but they've eaten most of the Everglades wildlife (including deer and alligators) since their release

4:12 am

rubyfoo

They grow to more than 20 feet! I'm not FRAID OF SNAKES BUT THOSE COULD EAT ME!

4:12 am

Lizlin

I hate snakes. In 5 years I think we've had 3 in our garden but not venomous.

4:13 am

Lizlin

1 python and 2 tree snakes.

4:13 am

Lizlin

Many houses here have carpet pythons in the roof.

4:14 am

rubyfoo

How big?

4:14 am

Lizlin

In the roof or our garden?

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I really love reptiles, only afraid of vipers (easily identifiable but I've never seen one), not afraind of the very big coulouvres (never seen one)

4:15 am

Lizlin

My hubby got rid of them - they don't like a hose being turned on them!

4:15 am

rubyfoo

Our wildlife is much less colorful and interesting than yours

4:16 am

rubyfoo

what is scary where you are, is how many thinks are venomous

4:16 am

Lizlin

I don't mind other reptiles. I love the water dragons.

4:16 am

rubyfoo

We have beautiful, multi-colored spiders and I love them outside, but not in the house

4:16 am

rubyfoo

is that a kind of lizard?

4:17 am

Lizlin

True but I've not come across anything venomous but then I don't walk in long grass!

4:17 am

Lizlin

Yes it is.

4:17 am

rubyfoo

How big?

4:18 am

Lizlin

I don't mind spiders outside. I wasn't too keen on the huntsman I saw in our apartment on my first ever day in Aus. Size of a mans fist!

4:18 am

rubyfoo

When I walk the dogs in the field above us, I make a lot of noise with my feet.

4:18 am

Lizlin

Up to half a metre I guess.

4:18 am

rubyfoo

wow

4:18 am

Lizlin

That's a good idea. How are the dogs?

4:18 am

rubyfoo

The huntsman was in the house?????

4:19 am

Lizlin

Some are really small though.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

Rufie is a prince among dogs and Raffie is a moose among girls, He's about 80 lbs and sweet and beautiful. She's about 45 lbs. and is a bit of a "putain"

4:19 am

Lizlin

Yes! Hubby used a broom to put it outside. I Wes pretty freaked by it!

4:19 am

Lizlin

Lol!

4:20 am

Lizlin

She'll grow up!

4:20 am

rubyfoo

the size of a fist, aaarghhh

4:21 am

Lizlin

Truthfully I think if you're sensible, you can be safe from the nasties here.

4:23 am

rubyfoo

The vipers appear in people's rain barrels (we don't have one) but I worry more for the dogs, than for me

4:23 am

rubyfoo

4:24 am

rubyfoo

{{lizlin}

4:24 am

Lizlin

Yuck! In the rain barrels! I understand your fear for the dogs. Here I think the main problem for dogs is a paralysing tic.

4:25 am

Lizlin

Look ate yourself Ruby. Hugs to you.

4:25 am

Lizlin

After!

4:25 am

rubyfoo

I try to check them for ticks every day. My friend's dog wound up crippled after being bitten by one

4:25 am

rubyfoo

8:25 am

mkg

any clue for the other 9 not connected to the 10 out there? and what asian sauce hurshy?

8:25 am

hurshy

hoisin sauce

8:27 am

mkg

ok. ty. so what are you cluing hurshy?

8:27 am

hurshy

nothing, just playing NTPN

8:28 am

mkg

huh? dont know those initials......

8:28 am

hurshy

Name That Proper Noun!

8:29 am

hurshy

boy, these C's are hard.

8:30 am

It's an 8/9 combo ma 8/9

8:30 am

magazinemom

8:30 am

mkg

ok i dont know it. so now must lookk. ma....

8:31 am

hurshy

thanks mom

8:32 am

mkg

ma 8 has to do with sauce? wow am i confused.

8:32 am

Riverdance

to soak and season your meat prior to grilling

8:32 am

mkg

so is the sauce and the 8/9 same clue?

8:33 am

mkg

i got the ma 8 and 9. still dont get it but ok. onward to more words

8:33 am

hurshy

you COULD use hoisin sauce as a ma8. but i wasn't attempting to clue anything at all.

8:33 am

hurshy

i was just playing name that proper noun.

8:33 am

magazinemom

not a sauce necessarily. you might put a ma8 on the chicken and stick it in the fridge before cooking

8:34 am

Riverdance

you pour your ma8 into a bag with your meat and let it rest for a few hours for the flavor

8:34 am

magazinemom

oops! Sorry if I contributed to the confusion :)

8:34 am

Riverdance

you can make your own or buy it in a bottle

8:34 am

mkg

got the words. ty.

8:35 am

mkg

everyone added to the clue. so now i have the 8/9 and the word and understand it all.

8:35 am

Riverdance

easy one that I make is equal parts of soy sauce and maple syrup and fresh minced garlic......yum!

8:35 am

mkg

You see me here, you gods, a poor old man,
As full of grief as age; wretched in both!
If it be you that stir these daughters' hearts
Against their father, fool me not so much
To bear it tamely; touch me with noble anger,
And let not women's weapons, water-drops,
Stain my man's cheeks!
Lear, Scene IV

72 Temple Owl

10:30 am

hurshy

hiya TO

10:31 am

hurshy

it's a bit of a thinker today

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

i have been lazing about. late awkwening because of neighbors' bakring dogs. hate that

10:32 am

72 Temple Owl

but i had better get dressed in advance of possible tornadoes.

10:33 am

hurshy

but tornadoes can take your clothes right off!

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

well then i should put on pretty undies.

10:34 am

hurshy

EVEN UNDIES! even high laced up boots!

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

if they took me to oz, that would be interesting. clothed or not. :)

10:34 am

hurshy

yeah that's what i said, i'd be happy if it took me to oz.

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

oh no way. that is a plane crash.

10:35 am

Judi

Belated ty for the ca8.

10:35 am

hurshy

but i remember in little house, in one of the later books, a kid who got taken up by a tornado and he got gently put down later, but, he got all his clothes taken off by it, including his boots, and so did his brother, only his brother was killed, every bone broken. and the horses they were riding, the saddles were removed also, even with all those buckles.

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

oh, then it must be true! ;)

10:36 am

72 Temple Owl

BUT was it in the book?

10:36 am

hurshy

yes, it was in the book

10:36 am

hurshy

i do not report things from the SHOW!

10:36 am

Judi

Is the ca8 any way related to the ca10?

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

then mught it be LEW's imagination at work?

10:37 am

hurshy

no ca8 not related to ca10

10:37 am

do0bee

yeah i got the root ca6 of ca8 but cant figure out the ending sa4

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

no, judi,but it was clued within the last two screens

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

the marquis is the ending

10:37 am

hurshy

i think she tried to report the real things... and that was in her older life when she could presumably remember better...

10:38 am

do0bee

ah ty

10:38 am

do0bee

ah ty

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

too bad our brit friends are not here, i need some fact checking.

10:38 am

hurshy

like she was in her late teens by that incident

10:39 am

hurshy

and a wannabe brit won't do, eh? :)

10:39 am

do0bee

i was born in scotland.

10:39 am

Judi

Finally got the Ca9 & 10. Geesh. New ones to me.

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

someone claims leaves do not turn in europe. i just googled it and it seems they do in the north; scandinavis, russia

10:41 am

72 Temple Owl

poor judi. it does take a while.

10:42 am

Judi

Have the ca8, ma8 and oc8. What does the last one start with?

10:42 am

hurshy

i'm pretty sure in persuasion jane austen wrote about leaves turning in the fall...

10:42 am

hurshy

gy8

10:42 am

Judi

Yuck. Thanks.

10:42 am

hurshy

no it's not really so bad

10:42 am

Judi

Got it. Ty.

10:43 am

hurshy

see?

10:43 am

hurshy

:)

10:43 am

do0bee

i think all deciduous trees lose their leaves in winter

10:43 am

Judi

Gy does have a rather narrow field of possibilities.

10:43 am

72 Temple Owl

then pehaps in southern europe most trees are not deciduous.

10:43 am

hurshy

born in scotland, where do you live now do0bee? when did you leave? do you have a scottish accent?

10:44 am

72 Temple Owl

that makes sense.

10:44 am

Judi

Off to do more work. Ta for now!

10:44 am

hurshy

they might be deciduous but it might not get cold enough.

10:44 am

do0bee

im 40 in Arizona, been here since i was like 4 yrs old

10:44 am

hurshy

in like, southern italy or something

10:45 am

hurshy

they could still have a mix of evergreen and deciduous trees but just not have as much seasonal change maybe

10:46 am

hurshy

the C's make me want to CRI

10:46 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps, but the blanket statement is not accurate. and i am off to dress for whatever the afternoon brings. at least i don't have to do my hair!

10:47 am

hurshy

:)

10:48 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! terrorist organization

10:49 am

do0bee

too political

10:49 am

do0bee

the plo maybe

10:49 am

hurshy

words are apolitical

10:49 am

hurshy

answers to name that proper noun are always found in the grid

10:49 am

MollyL

Masad?

10:49 am

do0bee

close

10:50 am

hurshy

in what way is that close?

10:50 am

do0bee

i dont think the name that noun is strictly a terrorist org.

10:51 am

MollyL

No, I'm wrong, wrong spelling

10:51 am

do0bee

it depends what side of the wall you're on,

10:51 am

hurshy

that's true, it is not strictly a terrorist organization

10:51 am

o-o

ca 6/24 add a non-people person: ***anthrop*

10:51 am

hurshy

it just has a terrorist wing

10:51 am

do0bee

mossad might be a terrorist org. to some

10:52 am

hurshy

it governs the gaza strip

10:52 am

MollyL

Hamas?

10:52 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

10:52 am

hurshy

thanks brabble!

10:52 am

o-o

ca + hit or **ss + marquis de ****

10:53 am

hurshy

thank you for correcting my clue, it was overly narrow, do0bee.

10:54 am

do0bee

lol i'm too pragmatic

10:54 am

hurshy

no, i mean, it is a point well taken

10:54 am

Michnick

I just popped in. Mossad does NOT govern the Gaza strip. The Mossad is the Israeli intelligence, equivalent to the US' CIA.

10:54 am

hurshy

i just usually don't worry much about accuracy in those things so much as something that will make people get the word. but in such a delicate topic, perhaps accuracy is more important.

10:55 am

hurshy

no michnick, hamas was the thing in question governing gaza.

10:55 am

o-o

well, I have just recently been accused of being pedantic ... who would have guessed

10:55 am

MollyL

Easliy misunderstood. The chat gets all jumbled up sometimes.

10:55 am

Michnick

Ah, well then. They are terrorists, and proud of it.

10:56 am

hurshy

name that proper noun! semi-nomadic warrior tribe of kenya/tanzania

10:56 am

do0bee

and maybe i shouldn't defend such organizations online, the walls have ears

10:57 am

do0bee

masai

10:57 am

hurshy

ding ding ding!

10:57 am

hurshy

OR maasai, also acceptable spelling, also in grid! :)

10:59 am

if i could just find one more C... then i would be at listing point...

10:59 am

MollyL

I was waiting for you to do the Village People song Hursh. : D

10:59 am

MollyL

Probably too easy

10:59 am

hurshy

lol, you could do them you know!

11:00 am

hurshy

why wait for me?

11:00 am

MollyL

And technically an abbreviation, not a proper noun

11:00 am

hurshy

you can say

11:00 am

hurshy

name that acronym!

11:00 am

hurshy

variations are always acceptable.

11:00 am

o-o

nasa

11:00 am

hurshy

YMCA, i would answer

11:01 am

do0bee

name that noun -- A Chinese dipping sauce

11:01 am

hurshy

11:01 am

Good. You were able to take the cruise for the dinner date. Do you put them on your Babble post?

4:17 pm

4:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

cross, why do yo ualways refer to yourself in the third person?

4:18 pm

crosshair

i am in school atm,bichon then off to a year of business courses then it is open my own place.i became tired of the petroleum business after 30 years

4:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

like maestro on seinfled.

4:18 pm

crosshair

it is from a old joke between a few babblers and myself from a few years ago,T>O and it has stuck and i have fun with it still on occasion

4:18 pm

cybernan

clue for the ca 8, please?

4:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

actually i rarely see you use first person at all.

4:19 pm

crosshair

same with my bacon schtick,T>O many enjoy it greatly,so i roll with it

4:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, so it is a private joke.

4:20 pm

crosshair

that it is

4:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

that sums it up then.

4:21 pm

crosshair

and if my antics bring laughter or a smile to a babbler on a rough day,then it is all good.see? no third person there

4:21 pm

ChrissieDee

Or a very public joke as it is in the chog

4:21 pm

crosshair

i have fun with it and many enjoy it so it is enough for me

4:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

no need to justify it to me. question asked and answered.

4:22 pm

crosshair

because in reality i am not the insane bacon fiend i make myself out to be.on the bright side i get all these amazing bacon recipies form women all around the globe

4:23 pm

hundreds of babble ladies think of crossy every time they pick up a pound of bacon:)))))

4:23 pm

ChrissieDee

No crossy, don't shatter the illusion!

4:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

and these bones need nourishment after all the dancing - and travlleing with epiphytic beings. time to prepare dinner.

4:24 pm

stidgmere

Sooo true, Crossy. When I make my applesauce doughnuts this week with maple syrup frosting and bacon bits on top, I'll think of you.

4:24 pm

BzznBea

ca8 - small undergarments worn by women + lemon drink

4:24 pm

AS it happens tonight dinner does contain a smattering of bacon but that is just a cincidence hehe

4:24 pm

crosshair

ty,bzz

4:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

applesauce donust sound yummy. i saw maple bacon chips but i decided not to try them

4:25 pm

Stidgmere, they sound amazing

4:25 pm

4:25 pm

crosshair

women on all continents think of crossy.what more could a man ask? lol

4:25 pm

crosshair

mmmm bacon doughnuts....

4:26 pm

stidgmere

Easy recipe, Chrissie. Make a powdered sugar frosting with a little butter and maple syrup for the liquid. Sprinkle on a few bacon pieces and prepare to be surprised.

4:26 pm

cybernan

a bunch of ca words that are new to me -- mind you, I am neither a biologist nor a military person

4:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

the whole world has gone bacon crazy

4:27 pm

crosshair

reminds me,,i have 52 ounces of bacon vodka all ready to go.it has been steeping for 6 weeks.common over everyone:))

4:27 pm

BzznBea

I thought they were difficult too, nan.

4:28 pm

stidgmere

True, TO. I think the smokey flavor has premeated somebody's brain in advertising land.

4:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

the folks i traveled with over the weekend hardly ate.

4:30 pm

crosshair

crossy tidbit.if making your own bacon vodka,use a stainless steel plated tea ball to infuse your vodka.i also find that if you decant it into 1 quart mason jars first,the steeping process is easier and remember to half rotate those jars every few days:))

4:30 pm

stidgmere

How could they travel without little coffee breaks and a pastry?

4:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

and so did not put meals into the travel plan . i strongly suggested dinner on friday night. they assented and fortunately the restaurant was satidfactory. good, even.

4:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

one on the prod diet and the other old and just eats very little. they are both like rails.

4:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

sorry, i got that wrong. fodmaps diet

4:33 pm

Jackanory

Hi, does anyone have a list for today?

4:33 pm

MollyL

*Makes a note to always travel with someone like Gran Mere*

4:33 pm

MollyL

I have Dee's list in my profile

4:34 pm

crosshair

what is a "prod" diet???

4:34 pm

Jackanory

Thanks MollyL

4:34 pm

BzznBea

That is the best part of traveling...eating new foods.

4:35 pm

stidgmere

Makes note, call Molly before traveling to coordinate coffee breaks.

4:37 pm

cybernan

need a break = bbl

4:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

diet originated in aus. eliminates all carbs

4:39 pm

bichon

How can you exist without carbs. That means no vegetable products

4:39 pm

periwinkle

hi all

4:39 pm

MollyL

So what was her problem with eating? You can get lots of non-carb things in a restaurant.

4:40 pm

4:42 pm

ra 7/36?

4:42 pm

MollyL

I think FODMAP is low carb Bich.

4:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

she has nut allergies and with fodmaps need to be sure that there is no wheat or the like, often used in cooking. her approach is extreme compared with the suggestions but i understand her digestive problems are as well.

4:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

and she said she will not eat at a chain restaurant for fear of the wrong items

4:44 pm

bichon

My granddaughter has nut allergies and it's so hard to totally avoid nuts when eating out

you also learn to read all the fine print on packaging - today just found out that the pretzels i buy are made in the same place as peanuts are processed - just found our grandson has a severe hut allergy

4:46 pm

periwinkle

love your icon, Molls

4:47 pm

bichon

It is so difficult to find food that hasn't been processed in a factory which processes nuts. So difficult

4:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

fodmaps works because it exludes so many foods. you an reintroduce foods from each group later one at a time to see what you can tolerate.

4:48 pm

wvteach

what is fodmaps

4:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

this person is truly scary thin

4:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

and so was our driver. he just is one of those folks who does not eat much, w hich happens a lot with some older folks

4:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

he is in his 70s as far as we can tell

for a ship almost 130 years old the segwun still shines

5:05 pm

cybernan

great photos, crossy

5:06 pm

NonoNanette

we used to have something like that here on Keuka Lake but the owner went bankrupt

5:06 pm

crosshair

she first sailed in 1884 and at that time she was a sidewheeled vessel

5:06 pm

crosshair

but she got new engines in 1907 and 1911 and they gave her propellers instead

5:07 pm

crosshair

ty,cybernan

5:09 pm

crosshair

was odd to see a ship taking on coal.not seen much anymore,they dumped 2 tonnes of it down a hatch while we were watching them get ready

5:10 pm

crosshair

i will add more pictures maybe tomorrow the engine room is a steampunk fans dream:))

5:12 pm

crosshair

the old engine telegraph itself was a beautiful thing

5:12 pm

5:16 pm

Finally, figured out how to access your web page. I must be the slowest Babbler in NorthAmerica. My, what great pictures and it looks so much like our winter skies. Thank you for sharing this special event!

5:19 pm

crosshair

i am glad you enjoyed my pictures,stidmere.they we just taken fast with an i phone but they turned out nice

5:21 pm

crosshair

i will post more tomorrow.i got a real charge out of the old hand operated ballast pump in the hallway it has handles like one of those hand carts you see on the train tracks and takes 2 men to operate

5:22 pm

crosshair

and the dining room was very nice.prime rib dinner for two while the ship sailed;)

5:32 pm

crosshair

as we sailed through the narrows people who owned cottages on the shore would blink the lights inside or ring small bells to ask the captain to use his steam horn and he would let off a blast that reverbarated of the rocks and the islands as we passed:)

5:33 pm

5:46 pm

fuzzybunny

Beautiful photos Crossy. It looks like it was a lovely evening. Any idea what the white things are that hang down the outside of the ship are?

5:47 pm

crosshair

ty,liz:)) what surprised me in the design of the vessel were the bumpers you see on the side.we are so used to rubber bumpers or plastic or tire bumbers that we forget an age when those were not available.what you see there are 6x6 wooden beams 8 feet long chaned to the side of the boat with chaines and springs.that cushinons the vessel as it docks

5:47 pm

crosshair

ty ,fuzzy bunny see my reply bellow

5:47 pm

crosshair

chained

5:48 pm

crosshair

cushions

5:48 pm

fuzzybunny

Fascinating, I thought that was the purpose of them, but I am surprised at the size and the fact that they are made of wood. I would have thought that they would have put modern bumpers on the ship.

5:49 pm

crosshair

nope.all is as original as it can be.it is amazing it has survived to unaltered(other than the original paddle wheel it has until 1925

5:50 pm

fuzzybunny

It must have been like going back in time to cruise on the ship.

5:50 pm

crosshair

and the length of the bumpers is in case the water levels go up or downor when it ties up to the side of it sister ship the winona 2 built in 1925

5:51 pm

crosshair

it was indeed,fuzzybunny

5:51 pm

crosshair

i man not even portholes.actual windows

5:52 pm

staggering to thing this vessel had already been sailing for 25 years before the titanic even did her maiden voyage

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

Hello all!! How's da grid?

5:52 pm

fuzzybunny

After you posted that you were taking this dinner cruise I searched it on Google and learned a lot about the boat and the area. I love all the travels I get to take through Babble folks.

5:52 pm

Jillyjill

And, crossy, how is academia going for ya?

5:53 pm

crosshair

we are blessed to live in the area we do, fuzzybunny

5:53 pm

crosshair

it is going very well indeed,jilly

5:53 pm

crosshair

when she was a paddlewheeler she was known as the Nippissing

5:55 pm

crosshair

and since it is still registered with the Canadian government as a royal mail ship, the mrs and i sent each other post cards on board to mark the event.instead of a regualr town or city cancellation mark the cards will bear the seal of the ship itself as the postmaster

5:55 pm

fuzzybunny

How cool!

5:56 pm

fuzzybunny

Clue for the ma 7/48?

5:56 pm

ho 7/40? any hints

7:44 pm

maggiej

?

7:45 pm

MollyL

Gerund form of the 6 before it

7:47 pm

maggiej

not getting it

7:48 pm

kje

start with ho5 - like home except change the second vowel

7:48 pm

kje

then PT it, then gerund it

7:49 pm

MollyL

ho5 sounds like loudness. ho6 is the past tense of that and ho7 has the gerund ending.

7:49 pm

MollyL

no word for loudness

7:52 pm

maggiej

still no luck thanks for your efforts

7:53 pm

kje

like a backyard watering ho** but stick an extra vowel in it

7:53 pm

MollyL

There is too much no5, please turn down your music. Now make that your ho5 word. The ho6 is the past tense of that word and the 7 has the gerund ending.

7:54 pm

maggiej

that did it tyvm

7:54 pm

has anyone watched the pbs series geneology road show? i hated it

8:03 pm

joso

I guess not, what's it like

8:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

very pretentious and filled with contrived drama

8:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am going to try sleep hollow instead as a last resort in hte vast wasteland

8:05 pm

joso

I'm enjoying sleepy hollow, better than I expected it to be

8:06 pm

MollyL

Pretentious and contrived drama...oh, I need to just laugh about that and refrain from further comment. Good description TO. : )

8:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

que?

8:07 pm

MollyL

No, no, I'm trying to behave. : X

8:07 pm

72 Temple Owl

should i be stomping off? :P

8:08 pm

MollyL

No, no need for you to stomp off at all.

8:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

molly i liked blobs park. i am sorry if they develop it. thought the festival was ver poorly attended

8:10 pm

MollyL

It is a shame how many nice parks are getting "newly renovated" when they are fine just the way they are.

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

they want to knock it down for housing.

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

right ear the county jail and a state prison. I'd live there.

8:12 pm

MollyL

Yes, so everyone can stay inside, suck face to their computers, tv's and iPhones.

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

well when you put it that way, i guess it doesn't matter. there was a great goodwill store there, i picked out a skirt for my travel companion. she is a big thrifter.

8:14 pm

MollyL

Oh, I think it matters a lot. I would rather see the outdoor parks and venues remain, so people have outdoor options for their lives.

8:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

i meant it does not matter if a prison is your neighbor when you ar imprisoned by technology

8:16 pm

MollyL

Oh, okay, got it now. Yes, that's true.

8:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

they were building a huge building across from the holiday inn near t95. perhaps condos or apts

8:17 pm

MollyL

I find it sad that the only time most people are outside is walking to and from their cars.

8:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

true. but city living is resurgent

8:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

have yo watched sleepy hollow? and speaking of fantasy, have you seen cos?

8:22 pm

MollyL

Cos doesn't have internet at the moment. His choice. Life changes and such. I am mildly amused by Sleepy Hollow. While it is re-writing all the original legends, it seems to be the only show of that genre presently gaining interest.

8:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh, well tell him hi from me. i wi4 i had the c ourage.

8:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

it appears nothign is holding my interest tonight. edgy. want to get the last 5 and go read

9:12 pm

Jillyjill

Ugly....well, going to go for high point words and call it good.

9:13 pm

Bugsaw

I am too OCD for that. Once I start I am doomed

9:14 pm

Jillyjill

Well, had a rough day at work and tomorrow looks the same....have to quit in 45 minutes and head to bed...

9:15 pm

Bugsaw

I forgot Jilly, what ward do you work on?

9:16 pm

Jillyjill

I'm in the surgery center...mostly endoscopy, today recovery room and outpatient observation.

9:17 pm

Bugsaw

I bet you have some funny stories about the recovery room people who are not quite awake. Try remembering some of those before you sleep.

9:22 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...we had the comedians today... *sigh* "how are you feeling?" "With my fingers"

9:23 pm

Bugsaw

I was always too doped to be quick. My best was when they were trying to wake up some poor man and kept calling, "Francis, Francis wake up."

9:23 pm

Bugsaw

No response so they slap his cheeks a bit and then try calling him Frank. still no response.

9:24 pm

Jillyjill

Oh dear...

9:24 pm

Bugsaw

eventually the doctor who knew him came in and said, "Vern time to wake up" and he did

9:25 pm

Bugsaw

Just as I was starting to get worried too. I thot it was pretty funny. The poor nurses were never going to get from Francis to Vern

9:25 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...ya, did that one time...not as far as that before I realized I had the wrong name though

9:27 pm

Bugsaw

I hope you have fun in Victoria. I grew up there and 3 of my boys live there

9:27 pm

Jillyjill

Was there a long time ago...very beautiful. Where are you now?

9:28 pm

Erda

Are we ever going to see Lickety again?

9:29 pm

Jillyjill

9:29 pm

Erda

Oh.

9:30 pm

Bugsaw

9:50 pm

lbdawger

the 7' 8's, 9's and 10 were hard to find! and yeah, without lickety it's durn near impossible.

9:51 pm

MollyL

It's not the size, it's the oddball words.

9:51 pm

rururocks

9:51 pm

Jillyjill

9:52 pm

9:54 pm

harpjane

not good jilly. she has very shallow breathing and hasn't eaten for a couple of days

9:54 pm

Jillyjill

ty ruru, getting too blind to see...and does it count that I chuckled at your enterance?

9:55 pm

Jillyjill

So sorry harp, but you have given her a wonderful life...

9:56 pm

harpjane

so far, anyway...

9:56 pm

harpjane

she's my niece's cat. I've only had her since August.

9:56 pm

Jillyjill

Oh...this is the new one...any idea on age or what might be going on?

9:57 pm

rururocks

have you taken her to a vet harp?

9:58 pm

harpjane

She's 16. She had what we assumed was skin cancer and made an appointment for a biopsy. That was Thursday. The appointment was today and she wasn't healthy enough for a biopsy. He took blood and we'll get the results in the morning.

9:58 pm

harpjane

But she is acting REALLY frail.

9:59 pm

rururocks

oh.. doesn't sound good..

9:59 pm

MollyL

*Ignoring*...*Not acknowledging the lead balloons either*

9:59 pm

Jillyjill

Not in pain?

9:59 pm

rururocks

16 is fairly old for a cat though

9:59 pm

rururocks

we need a lead balloon room now

9:59 pm

harpjane

Let me rephrase that. She didn't make the appointment, WE did. So she has gone downhill pretty fast, since Thursday.

10:00 pm

harpjane

My niece got her on her 13th birthday. She's 29 now.

10:00 pm

rururocks

I was going to say .. what a smart cat

10:00 pm

harpjane

lol

10:01 pm

rururocks

we had one that would dial the phone.. but kept getting wrong numbers

10:02 pm

MollyL

Well, at least there would be two people not offended by The Lead Balloon Room. : D

10:02 pm

I'm trying to decide if I want to watch Hostages.
