12:52 am

I can't believe snow already in the us

12:52 am

rururocks

wow

12:54 am

rururocks

it's been in the 80's here

12:55 am

VolleymomDee

cold, damp, and gray here today

12:55 am

puglet

Ru, did you get to watch the colts and bronco game sunday night?

12:55 am

rururocks

I did.. I was shocked..

12:55 am

rururocks

although Andrew luck is a proven winner .. I shouldn't have been shocked

12:55 am

puglet

It was a good one, wasent it!

12:56 am

rururocks

it was terrific.. Denver isn't invincible..after all

12:56 am

puglet

I think emotions played alot with Manning

12:56 am

rururocks

yeah.. I would think so.. the Colts kind of gave up on a great player

12:57 am

rururocks

bet dee has all kinds of Colts stuff in the house ....

12:57 am

rururocks

NOT...

12:57 am

puglet

Yeah they did but Luck is good too and I think he will get even better as time goes on

12:58 am

VolleymomDee

We don't, but my daughter and her hubby do.

12:58 am

rururocks

Luck is a great, great quarterback.. i saw him at Stanford a lot.. he's got tremendous poise and smarts

12:58 am

rururocks

he's going to be really great.

12:59 am

rururocks

I predict the colts will win a few superbowls with him

12:59 am

puglet

I would like to see PM and the broncos go to SB though this year

1:00 am

rururocks

I would too.. but I don't think they'll make it through the play-offs

1:00 am

jillibus

ah, got that he8 too

1:00 am

rururocks

if he chose SF instead of Denver he'd likely have had two more rings

1:00 am

rururocks

yeah jilli..it's a tricky one

1:02 am

puglet

I hated to see R.Wayne go down like that. That will hurt the colts I think

1:02 am

Lizlin

Well done Jilli - don't have the he 8 yet!

1:02 am

rururocks

SB is going to be Seattle or SF vs the Patriots or Cincinati

1:03 am

jillibus

it's a sort of combo, liz

1:03 am

rururocks

yes.. that was horrible for the colts he's their strongest offensive player

1:03 am

Lizlin

Thought it might be. Just haven't found the right one yet!

1:03 am

rururocks

monica lewinski was sort of a he 8 :D

1:04 am

jillibus

kind of zigzaggy

1:04 am

rururocks

... I can't believe i just wrote that..

1:04 am

Lizlin

That's what I've been working around, without thinking of monica!

1:04 am

jillibus

bad ru

1:04 am

Lizlin

ty - have it now!!!! was trying to finish with "in"

1:05 am

rururocks

thank monica liz ;D

1:05 am

Lizlin

If I meet her, I will :)

1:05 am

rururocks

1:06 am

rururocks

(goes to PB willingly for that joke)

1:06 am

Lizlin

1:06 am

Lizlin

If you see monica in there, ru ...

1:07 am

Lizlin

Still missing one ts word. Grrr!

1:08 am

Hillary thought Monica was practicing "Duck and Cover"

1:08 am

Lizlin

:)

1:09 am

rururocks

<---promises to shut up now

1:10 am

jillibus

a desk?

1:10 am

jillibus

I'm OK, Rose. Just a lot of joint pain....cooler weather does it every time.

2:00 am

puglet

2:00 am

grannyrose

yeah, hun, i understand, totally.

2:01 am

puglet

do you have art. Peach

2:01 am

gapeach

Yes, Puglet, big time.

2:02 am

grannyrose

as we suspected, the mother came home institutionalised...badly....she has been very demanding. poor don, he up and down for most of the day. :-(

2:02 am

puglet

Iam sorry to hear that but I know that stuff very well. My grandfather, dad and two sisters had and has it

2:03 am

puglet

Poor Don

2:03 am

grannyrose

ah well, as she gets used to being home again, she should settle down. and she goes into respite in 3 weeks time, just for a week.

2:04 am

joso

hi all

2:04 am

puglet

Rose is she bedridden

2:04 am

grannyrose

hey, mate. nice to see you

2:04 am

puglet

Hi Joso

2:04 am

gapeach

Hey there, joso.

2:05 am

grannyrose

no pugs, that we could understand. she is quite capable of doing half the stuff she insists on don doing. grrrr

2:05 am

joso

so granny goodness is driving don crazy

2:05 am

joso

hi pug, peach, rose

2:05 am

gapeach

I'm so sorry to hear that, Rose. Has Don completely recovered from his illness?

2:06 am

grannyrose

lol, poor don...sometimes i would like to shake him and say....don't ask her, tell her. * sigh *

2:06 am

puglet

then don needs to not cater to her

2:06 am

grannyrose

yes he has, peach.it's lovely having my man back again. he gave me a scare.

2:07 am

gapeach

I'm sure, Rose. I just hope she doesn't wear him out.

2:08 am

gapeach

I'll send energy for all of the family.

2:08 am

joso

how did he give you a scare rose

2:08 am

puglet

Peach I thought it was pretty warm in your state and it dosent help your arth?

2:09 am

puglet

brb coffee time

2:09 am

grannyrose

pugs, that is a major difference between our families. my brothers and i stand back and let our mother maintain her independence. his family bend over backwards to answer mother mac's every whim. no wonder none of them can be patient and wait for their turn.

2:09 am

grannyrose

joso, when he was admitted with bilateral pneumonia and an acute exacerbation of his asthma.

2:10 am

gapeach

It is warm, for the most part.....when it begins to drop though, it is really rugged for those of us with and kind of pain.

2:10 am

joso

ah, of course, in the past, i was thinking something more recent had happened.

2:11 am

grannyrose

when you are one of five, and the last two twins, you learn to shut up and wait your turn.

2:11 am

gapeach

brb

2:12 am

joso

I take it MIL knows you will put up with no nonsense

2:12 am

grannyrose

joso, we have both finally shed the last traces of the virus. he is no longer suffering from leg cramps, and i noticed today that i haven't had the cramps in the rib cage for two days.

2:13 am

grannyrose

MIL knows I don't...but she plays her kids for suckers.

2:15 am

puglet

That does her no good to do everything for her as I know you well know

2:15 am

joso

sounding somewhat better overthere rose, flu gone, surgery one step closer, MIL well and back home, fang learned a lesson (snicker), just a little retraining of MIL to deal with.

2:16 am

joso

how is your pain, being held to manageable levels I hope?

2:17 am

grannyrose

she can be very willful at times. she came home from hospital, and openly admitted she had been underhand, and not used the new asthma puffers which the doctors had prescribed for her.

2:17 am

grannyrose

joso, pain much less with enforced rest. and sleeping for most of the night now.

2:17 am

joso

oh, and of course, you and don still behaving like teens in their first love, how could I overlook that.

2:18 am

grannyrose

*giggle* joso...of course we do...i flirt with him everyday.

2:19 am

joso

I suspect she admitted that because of you, knowing what she could get away with and what not when you are around. lol

2:20 am

grannyrose

yup, and my response was .....let's discuss it with dr sally, our GP. there are quite a few issues we have to sort out...

2:22 am

joso

Glad to hear the pain has throttled back, I know you have some time before the bureaucratic cogs line up and the surgery actually happens,

2:22 am

grannyrose

MIL respects dr sally's judgement, thank goodness. and dr sally and i are kindred spirits.

2:22 am

grannyrose

thanx, mate. it was the sleep deprivation which was getting to me the most.

2:23 am

sprite

good morning, dear babble friends

2:23 am

puglet

good morning dear friend :)

2:23 am

joso

2:27 am

sprite

sounds good, rose. Did she say why she isn't taking the asthma puffers?

2:27 am

puglet

we take ours to like board of health and they use them for people who cant afford meds(as long as its not out of date )

2:33 am

grannyrose

no, pugs. we usually hand them in at the pharmacy. all MIL sees is the money she has spent for nothing, if we throw the meds out. and the attitude would be the same if we donated them...lol

2:33 am

2:46 am

gapeach

Osteo, pug.

2:46 am

grannyrose

peach, there are other forms of glucosamine. try and find the one with hydrochloride, not sulfate. my mother is the same. she is allergic to sulfas, they upset her tummy.

2:46 am

sprite

lots of joint pains, pug, don't know what causes them.

2:46 am

gapeach

beautiful age, pug.

2:49 am

puglet

might be if I was like cindy crawford--lol

2:50 am

grannyrose

darling, i know weight and the amount of time on my feet certainly contributed to the sate of my leg joints. my endocrinologist told me i had hit the jackpot. with 3 of 4 grandparents and my mother all with arthritis, i couldn't escape it.

2:50 am

sprite

*hugs rose*

2:52 am

puglet

I dont think so Joso

2:59 am

grannyrose

saw the news earlier...fires a lot better. firefighters have been helped by a change in the weather. on the down side, two pilots have lost their lives when their planes crashed over the mountains.

2:59 am

sprite

3:00 am

gapeach

Oh, Rose, that is so awful.

3:00 am

puglet

thats good about the fire but sad about the pilots

3:00 am

Lizlin

So sad

3:00 am

grannyrose

some of the evacuees have been allowed back into their homes. successful backburning.

3:00 am

joso

firefighter pilots? 2 planes on the same day?

3:01 am

Lizlin

Talking about a new threat but it's not e main story

3:01 am

grannyrose

would you believe it? apparently fires ( not all) have been started by our own defence forces using live ammunition as part of an exercise...for goodness sake!!~

3:02 am

sprite

omg rose... they have the intelligence of a split pea apparently

3:02 am

Lizlin

Heard that. Mayor said it was irresponsible of the army to have shooting practice in these conditions!

3:03 am

joso

sheesh, someone is answering some awkward questions I bet

3:03 am

Lizlin

Bet they'll have to pay compensation for loss of property!

3:03 am

grannyrose

well, army intelligence is a contradiction of terms, right?

3:03 am

sprite

I certainly hope so, Liz. So irresponsible, it is criminal.

3:03 am

Lizlin

True!

3:04 am

sprite

lol... true

3:04 am

joso

:)

3:04 am

puglet

looks like they should have to pay for the homes lost

3:04 am

Lizlin

Talking about a new fire threat nr the hunter valley

3:05 am

grannyrose

which means the government...and they are scrambling to cancel the national debt...lolol

3:05 am

Lizlin

Not spending much time on the fires so things must be stable right now.

3:06 am

sprite

thank God for that, Liz.

3:07 am

3:27 am

Lizlin

Couldn't think how to clue that. You're both so good at cluing!

3:27 am

sprite

vowel words are harder for most of us, for some reason. For me it is Ks, first and formost. Then the vowel words... and some consonants like the V are harder too.

3:27 am

grannyrose

ka + **nnies, female goats

Lizlin

You can ride a horse, pugs. I can't do that!

3:53 am

hehehe am glad you can't, Liz. Exactly. Being smart can have so many forms. And they are all valuable. But not as valuable as having a loving heart, as our pug has.

6:52 am

Trifioso

6:52 am

MLFAN17

tri what are the stats for the one you got please?

6:53 am

Trifioso

sn 7 32, as wv clued....comparative of the sn 5.12

6:53 am

Trifioso

I couldnt agree more, wv...thank goodness we are all tuned to click with different age groups

6:54 am

wvteach

SN 7 - most nasty remark

8:52 am

hurshy

you have merely added an extra S which do not belong, ray

8:53 am

hurshy

you will find that if you remove that S, you will be able to get two words

8:53 am

Judi

Damn these stupid Ks!

8:55 am

Judi

Okay. Just found the last two khs. *deep breaths*

8:55 am

hurshy

gee, anyone would think you were sprite, the amount you are worked up over the k's

8:55 am

Ray100

thank you.....never seen that before - but why 2 words? I found one by removing the S but a 2nd word - how?

8:56 am

Judi

Hee hee. Unconcious channelling of the Spritely one.

8:56 am

hurshy

there is plural and there is past tense.

8:56 am

Ray100

8:58 am

Name that proper noun: Belarus city.

8:58 am

hurshy

minsk

8:58 am

Judi

Ding! Ding! Ding!

8:59 am

Judi

Hurshy, you need to go on "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?".

8:59 am

hurshy

that game is incorrectly named

9:00 am

Judi

How so?

9:00 am

hurshy

well, you don't play AGAINST fifth graders

9:01 am

Judi

Actually, I thought adult contestants play against 5th graders.

9:02 am

hurshy

no, they do not. they just play against, well, the game, like on who wants to be a millionaire or whatever

9:02 am

hurshy

and the kids are one of the lifelines

9:02 am

hurshy

sort of

9:02 am

hurshy

furthermore, "smarter" and "what you know" are two different things.

9:03 am

hurshy

hence the many racial-bias objections to some traditional IQ and/or SAT tests.

9:04 am

MollyL

Do not, not, not try to get away with anything but the most specific of meanings here in Babbleonia.

9:04 am

Judi

Ah.

9:04 am

invictus

Plus, education has been dumbed down over the past several years. The 5th grade education I got is a 7th grade education now. Sadly.

9:04 am

Judi

Hiya, Molls!

9:05 am

Judi

Frightfully true, invictus. Don't get me started on "Common Core".

9:05 am

hurshy

i know i'm smarter than most 5th graders, and i know i remember pretty much everything i learned in 5th grade, but i still don't think i could bring myself to go on that show.

9:06 am

Judi

I was being cheeky, Hurshy. You are definitely "Jeopardy" material though.

9:06 am

MollyL

After they fried my brain with "new math" I lost track of what I learned in what grade.

9:06 am

hurshy

jeff foxworthy kind of annoys me, too.

9:06 am

hurshy

alex trebek REALLY annoys me. he's so patronizing and snooty.

9:07 am

MollyL

Snooty?? Horrors!

9:07 am

hurshy

i love pat sajak, except for his politics, but wheel of fortune is a boring game. the game i really love is pyramid.

9:07 am

Judi

Yes. Alex T. looks a lot like Molly's icon today.

9:07 am

MollyL

Pyramid is a great game, I like that one too.

9:08 am

MollyL

And I loved Password.

9:08 am

hurshy

the latest revival of it, though, the players have really really sucked at it.

9:09 am

hurshy

and a lot of the words are just pop culture things, it's really boring.

9:09 am

Judi

Sigh. *remembers "Beat the Clock".

9:10 am

hurshy

one of my favorite quotes ever is from pat sajak

9:10 am

hurshy

it's in my profile

9:11 am

hurshy

he was talking about how it really doesn't take much to be a game show host

9:11 am

hurshy

like, what qualifications does he really have?

9:11 am

hurshy

"sure, i'm glib, but so is my uncle chester."

9:11 am

hurshy

so funny

Hello, TO.

9:41 am

Haz1558

Will it ever suffer from shingles?

9:41 am

72 Temple Owl

haz, i just read the story "a street cat named bob". quite a story of the restorative power of love.

9:43 am

Haz1558

Where did the story take place? I've a vague memory of seeing a newspaper article about it.

9:43 am

o-o

I think unlikely ... I have no plans to use it as the base for any construction.

9:43 am

72 Temple Owl

london. and bob looks just like my crockett. ginger toms are so special, there's been research that confirms it.

9:44 am

good morning everyone - can someone help with the bottom row S please

9:45 am

Haz1558

I'm just looking at an article about it now. I remember, as a child,reading a story about a ginger cat called Marmaduke and deciding that if I ever had a cat, it would be a ginger one. They are pretty.

9:45 am

9:47 am

Haz1558

Have they made the film yet. Please let English actors play the role and please don't transport the story to US.

9:47 am

72 Temple Owl

there's been research about their sociability. after so many anecdotes about them

9:48 am

Riverdance

ah - thanks - got the sa7

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't know. once the rights are sold, depending upon how much creative control is ceded, may be no choice. i do know that the real james' accent is terribly thick.

9:49 am

72 Temple Owl

the same person who made marley and me bought them

9:50 am

o-o

Marmaduke is a newspaper comic strip drawn by Brad Anderson from 1954 to the present day.

9:50 am

Haz1558

I just remember a colourful hardback book with a very cheerful cat in front.

9:51 am

o-o

Do English actors do comic strips too?

9:53 am

Haz1558

Would 'The full Monty' count?

9:53 am

Haz1558

TO, I've just listened to the real James speaking - his accent sounds totally normal to me, not even Cockney.

9:54 am

o-o

Perhaps, but I am not enamored of it.

9:55 am

o-o

Burlesque?

9:55 am

72 Temple Owl

he spent a lot of time in aus as well. i guess my ear is just not attuned to it.

9:57 am

72 Temple Owl

and the fact that he could take a cat onto a bus just amazed me.

9:59 am

Haz1558

There's a cat called Dodger who became famous for riding on buses constantly.

10:00 am

Haz1558

And, surprise, it's a ginger tom as well.

10:00 am

72 Temple Owl

i once cut out an artcile on the research. it surprised me, i thought my tom was special. such a lovable lug.

10:01 am

72 Temple Owl

not too bright, mine. butvery sociable

10:01 am

Haz1558

The owner discovered that the cat was riding on the buses every day, sitting on people's laps and generally having a good time. There must be something in the ginger gene.

10:02 am

72 Temple Owl

yes and they are enerally male and generally big boys. mine was 18 lbs but a lb or so too heavy per the vet

10:04 am

Haz1558

That's a big cat!

10:04 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, and my vet said that is why one does not see them often, sort of bred out.

10:05 am

72 Temple Owl

a farm cat

10:06 am

72 Temple Owl

well, i need to get moving, i have a hair appointment this afternoon. and i have not done much housework

10:07 am

Haz1558

See you again, TO. I'm heading out with the dog for our afternoon walk. Bye!

And the months of cold and darkness have begun.

4:52 pm

Does the winter effect you, Molly?

4:56 pm

MollyL

Not as much as it used to.

4:56 pm

BzznBea

I have a friend in Maine that has to use a light box daily.

4:57 pm

MollyL

I did that one winter. I have found that ten to fifteen minutes of natural sunlight is more effective.

4:58 pm

Good Enough

15 minutes is all it takes? that is interesting Molly.

4:59 pm

MollyL

That is what I carve out time for. It's hard to get sunlight on your skin in the winter. I sit in a sunny indoor spot.

Hi. Just starting and here in the great NOrthwest it is foggy. Feeling a little sorry for the birds as it is cold and clammy outside.

Hi TO pretty quiet on the chog. Quiet here, too in the great Northwest.

6:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

i just bought trader joe's pumpkin butter. i saw the supposedly fabulous cookie butter but i demurred.

6:03 pm

stidgmere

I saw the flyer for the pumpkin butter. A friend bought some but I don't know how she liked it. I made apple butter last season and still have some jars. It is so nice in the fall when I am inspired to make biscuits.

6:04 pm

MollyL

Ah, I love home made apple butter. I freeze mine in small containers so we have it year round.

6:06 pm

stidgmere

I just learned how to do canning and so am putting things up in jars. The latest Prevention magazine talks about the advantages of glass containers over the cans the grocery stores use. I hadn't thought about that.

6:09 pm

MollyL

It is my goal to one day learn to can. And it is funny it's called canning (now that you mention it) when most people use the glass jars.

6:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

sometimes apple butter can vary in taste. the jar i just bought tastes too spicy. the pumpkin butter is more mellow

6:11 pm

stidgmere

You're right, TO, hard to judge the right amount of spices. I do like to browse at Trader Joe's for special treats.

6:11 pm

MollyL

It is also my goal to one day go to Trader Joe's.

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

i went to check out the specaloos cookie spread fran mag is raving about. i did not care to spend 3.99 to test it, even if tJ's lets one return anything one does not like.

6:14 pm

stidgmere

Hmm. I was looking at a catalog that had some good things in it--no, it was Cook's Magazine. They have such interesting articles about why things work in the kitchen.

Major League Baseball: Total attendance of 74.03 million was down from 74.86 million last season but was the sport's sixth-highest.

Helpful McD's hotline appears to steer employee to food stamps ... The helpline operator never asked how much Salgado made ($8.25 an hour, for the record) but offered that she "definitely should be able to qualify for both food stamps and heating assistance," medical and other government programs, according to CNNMoney. http://tinyurl.com/ovwotg8
