nice clue, ru

jillibus

ap7 - 1. a type of reproduction, occurring in some ferns, in which the sporophyte develops from the gametophyte without fusion of gametes

ty

12:35 am

I think ap7 sounds like marriage between gorillas

12:36 am

Lizlin

Good to know, Jilli. Now I just have to work on Ru's clue!

12:36 am

rururocks

marriage or a gorilla cult

12:37 am

jillibus

ru's clue has the wrong last letter but it sounds the same

12:37 am

rururocks

if it's marriage will the kids be a chimp off the old block?

12:37 am

jillibus

boo

12:38 am

1:16 am

puglet

they are saying 9- 12 inches by the time this storm is over

1:16 am

rururocks

well if it were to rain.. we'd have snow for sure

1:17 am

rururocks

12 inches isn't that bad is it pug?

1:17 am

puglet

depends on the wind and how much it drifts

1:17 am

rururocks

oh.. yeah i bet

1:17 am

jbp

ok, how is no one else going south mentally at least, in this conversation...

1:18 am

1:18 am

puglet

being out in the country is a little worse then in town or near a main highway

1:18 am

rururocks

mexico?..I like my head where it is :D

1:19 am

jbp

am i the only one who cracks up to hear something like, 12 inches isn't that much, etc./// or am I the only one snickering out loud

1:19 am

rururocks

I was afraid of that right after I wrote that

1:20 am

jbp

thank goodness; I was afraid I was the only one...

1:20 am

rururocks

hey.. you're talking to RU here :D

1:20 am

1:43 am

grannyrose

1:44 am

Yvooria

1:44 am

puglet

1:45 am

gapeach

grannyrose

1:46 am

1:47 am

gapeach

Mollie better?

1:47 am

puglet

1:47 am

Yvooria

Howdy again Liz

1:50 am

gapeach

Thanks, you are so sweet. Do you have someone to watch them, perhaps you've told me and I forgot.

1:51 am

Lizlin

Hey Rose - just read about your MIL! So sorry to read that. Hugs - not a good time of year for you and Don.

1:52 am

joso

puglet

HI YA Sir Joso

1:52 am

grannyrose

1:52 am

puglet

feeling less sore Joso and more rested

1:52 am

Lizlin

So glad though to read that you're home, Rose. So much better to have your own things around you.

1:53 am

Yvooria

our property manager's son will come (with parents) to check on them.. (only $5 a visit!) wish we had a live-in but that requires a rare relationship - plus hard to find at Christmas..

1:53 am

grannyrose

liz, not ready to classify DH as a thing, but i catch your drift...lol

1:54 am

puglet

Hes your thang Rose! lol

1:54 am

Yvooria

I will also set up my security camera so I can check on them for peace of mind whenever I want

1:54 am

Lizlin

LOL Rose - aren't men things, playthings, that is?

1:54 am

grannyrose

well...he is my toy boy...lolol

1:54 am

gapeach

Yvooria, that sounds like a good deal. Is the yard fenced in?

1:54 am

puglet

how are you doing Liz

1:54 am

Yvooria

yes, privacy fence

1:55 am

joso

most civil of greatings mizz lizlin, HI YA dame pugalot, whaaa-hooo harem toy number 23

1:55 am

gapeach

Thant's good.

1:55 am

gapeach

Hi there, joso.

1:55 am

Lizlin

Sounds good to me, Rose. And as usual, pugs, all's fine here.

1:56 am

joso

hey peach

1:56 am

grannyrose

23??? that's all i rate??? you better be ready to duck...

1:56 am

gapeach

Meant to sat 'that's'.

1:56 am

Lizlin

How's the new place, Joso - getting used to it?

1:56 am

puglet

just what I was thinking 23!

1:57 am

Lizlin

Men! Boasting as ever. 23 in his harem??????

1:57 am

joso

mostly I like it liz, in the midst of operation shoehorn

1:57 am

grannyrose

hey!!! thatmakes me the last, liz...hmmpf

1:57 am

Lizlin

Hopefully, like good shoes, it'll stretch. It'll become a Tardis.

1:58 am

Lizlin

Don't think so Rose, unless he thinks (probably correctly) that DH takes up most of your time!

1:59 am

joso

as the harem is virtual, that is to say 90% imaginary, it is very large, I also have an unlikely stanima

1:59 am

Lizlin

Growing by the minute, I'd guess!!!!

1:59 am

joso

and 23 is very high in the ranks indeed

2:00 am

Lizlin

Good rating then, for Rose :)

2:03 am

joso

brb

2:04 am

puglet

thats just what Ru said and never did return

2:04 am

Lizlin

I'm sure he will - just not sure when!

2:04 am

gapeach

brb

2:06 am

Lizlin

How's your sister doing, Pugs?

2:06 am

puglet

she is really doing good so far(knock on wood)

2:07 am

Lizlin

Hope it stays that way. Thoughts with you :)

2:07 am

puglet

thank you Liz

2:07 am

Lizlin

Are you headache free today?

2:08 am

puglet

yes! havent had one for two days straight

2:09 am

Lizlin

Excellent - perhaps Sprite was right and you were affected by pressure from the storms brewing.

2:09 am

Lizlin

That and things being better with your sister, so less stress.

2:09 am

puglet

I started adding a low dose asprin daily and I dont know if that is helping or Iam just on a lucky streak here

2:10 am

gapeach

Had to turn heat up.....it was in the 70's today but a cold spell is on the way.....we are supposed to get the tail end of that bad swath from the midwest this week-end

2:10 am

Lizlin

Doesn't matter why or what, pugs, as long as you're feeling better.

Do you suppose it is to say, "Y'all come"?

2:15 am

grannyrose

pugs uses high point tile

2:16 am

Yvooria

most certainly. the thing is, I really like 4 good seasons. It's supposed to be cold at Christmas. And who appreciates spring if they had a mild winter?

2:16 am

puglet

ty Rose, got it

2:16 am

grannyrose

joso, am feeling so good about being home. pain levels way down, compared to last year.

2:16 am

joso

2:19 am

grannyrose

yvooria? what sort of surgery, hun?

2:19 am

gapeach

Oh, I will certainly be praying for her. Is she still in the hospital? Must be, don't think they would do an out-patient for that would they?

2:19 am

puglet

the snow has just started this morn, we had 8 hours of sleet

2:19 am

Yvooria

it actually was outpatient - tear in her miniscus, I believe... not replacement

2:20 am

gapeach

Oh, I see.

2:20 am

Yvooria

hope she feels better- know it was awfully painful since about Feb

2:20 am

grannyrose

yeah, that is usually day surgery, yvooria. still can be quite painful. make sure she ices it regularly.

2:20 am

Yvooria

Ah, I'll tell her

2:21 am

joso

hope your mom weathers it well yvooria

2:21 am

Yvooria

Yvooria

2:22 am

gapeach

Oh, bless her little heart.

2:22 am

gapeach

Did the Vet say what caused it?

2:23 am

Yvooria

she needs it too - not in pain but you can hear the crepitis when we walks on carpet.... crunch crunch crunch

2:23 am

grannyrose

*giggle* now if you had asked me 2 days ago....am now on 4 different pain meds. hoping to cut out at least one over the next 2 weeks.

2:23 am

gapeach

AWWW!

2:23 am

Yvooria

it's probably because she's so bow-legged, poor dear :) Can't keep those kneecaps in place.

2:24 am

Yvooria

yeah, they're not going to win any prizes in their breed, but we love' em both to death. :)

2:24 am

gapeach

I really miss them. You and Rob too. But I will take what I can get......I love the pictures you post.

2:25 am

puglet

2:25 am

Yvooria

two cocker spaniels

2:26 am

Yvooria

We miss you too :(

2:26 am

puglet

thats a nice breed---what color are they

2:27 am

Yvooria

I've got a tri-color and a parti - mainly chocolate

2:28 am

gapeach

Puglet, they are so very smart....Mollie, can turn the light switch off and on.....and does whatever they tell her to do.

2:29 am

Yvooria

so to clarify, MOLLIE is very smart. Emma is just so darn cute :)

2:29 am

puglet

ahh, she must be very smart

2:29 am

gapeach

And Emma, is smaller but she is the one who takes care of Mollie....won't let any other dogs play with her.....she is so very cute.

2:29 am

puglet

is that what you have too Peach?

2:30 am

gapeach

No, I have two rescues......one is mostly hound and the other is, well, partly terrier.

2:31 am

Yvooria

how have they been, Peach?

2:31 am

gapeach

They are not nearly as smart as, Yvooria's. But they can out-smart me.

2:31 am

grannyrose

2:32 am

joso

goodnight rose, rest well

2:32 am

puglet

2:32 am

Yvooria

2:32 am

2:33 am

gapeach

Sweet dreams, Yvooria.

2:33 am

Yvooria

oh, i was saying it to granny

2:33 am

gapeach

Sweet dreams to you, Rose.

2:33 am

gapeach

Oh, I see now.

2:34 am

gapeach

Rose has had a really rough time with her knees. I am so glad she had the surgery.

2:34 am

Yvooria

my dogs were terrible about going potty in the back when we lived in NYC

2:35 am

Yvooria

i guess it was because we had so little grass there

2:35 am

Yvooria

(when it rained, I mean)

2:35 am

gapeach

Probably.

2:36 am

puglet

My pug is going to have a shock when she hits the deep snow for the first time-lol

2:36 am

Yvooria

is it her first time?

2:36 am

gapeach

I wish my neighbor would take one of them, at least, for a walk.

2:36 am

Yvooria

is she young, I mean?

2:37 am

puglet

yes, with snow this deep---we didnt have much the last two years

2:37 am

gapeach

aagy

2:37 am

puglet

2:37 am

Yvooria

2:37 am

puglet

gapeach

2:39 am

puglet

all three of my dogs are rescues too

2:39 am

Yvooria

who didn't want the dane?

2:39 am

puglet

my great dane(Beulah) is afraid of the pug-lol

2:40 am

gapeach

That is funny, puglet.

2:41 am

puglet

my friend's great grand daughter got her as a pup and wasent allowed to have her at her housing and she was on the way to the pound so we took her

2:41 am

Yvooria

worked out well for you

2:43 am

puglet

I was a boxer and pitbull person and I had lost both of mine in the same year due to old age and I wasent really looking for another dog at that time but she fell into my hands and it has worked out well

2:43 am

Yvooria

well, it's that time for me. happy friday, everyone!

2:44 am

puglet

Hi Cross

5:36 am

crosshair

what's new and exciting down under,liz?

5:38 am

Lizlin

Hi All :)

5:38 am

lynxxx

Wow - Cross can see you even before you appear Liz.

5:39 am

crosshair

lol,i meant lynxx,my bad

5:39 am

Lizlin

You beat me to that comment, Lyn!!!

5:39 am

crosshair

and i know that a pb offense

5:39 am

lynxxx

just teasing Cross - quite a few people have done that

5:40 am

Lizlin

Love the tawny frogmouth pic, Lyn - we had a family of 4 in the tree at the back of our house last week.

5:40 am

crosshair

interesting birds to be sure

5:41 am

Lizlin

They're pretty cool! Well camouflaged.

5:41 am

crosshair

kind of looks like our owls but with the appearance of fur instead of feathers

5:41 am

lynxxx

Our babies have left the nest a few days ago. They very kindly nested a couple of metres above a pathway alongside a canal. They weren't at all concerned by scores of people pointing phones at them

5:43 am

Lizlin

Stunning birds - my hubby ended up a ladder photographing them. Got some beautiful pics. They were only there for a day though. 2 were definitely young.

5:44 am

lynxxx

A local photographer had a camera mounted up there , not sure if it was being videoed or some kind of time lapse

5:45 am

sprite

good morning all

5:45 am

Lizlin

Hi sprite. Good to see you.

5:45 am

crosshair

((sprite))

5:46 am

sprite

hi Liz :) *hugs*
Hi lyn :) xxx
Hi crossy! *hugs*

5:46 am

Lizlin

How are you today - how did the session with the counsellor go yesterday?

5:47 am

Lizlin

You don't have to answer if you'd prefer not to.

5:47 am

sprite

we had to postpone it, Liz, we had a warning out for the storm, to not leave our homes unless we really had to be on the road.

5:47 am

lynxxx

Hi Sprite!

5:48 am

Lizlin

How frustrating for you! Has the storm passed now and was it as bad as everyone feared.

5:48 am

sprite

am okayish. Still very tired and a bit down. But it will get better with a good night's sleep, no doubt :)
And you, my friends? How are you doing today?

5:49 am

Lizlin

Am fine apart from a desire to shoot the dog 2 doors away, which has been barking non-stop for nearly 3 hours! (Wouldn't really shoot a dog - perhaps the owner for leaving it like that!)

5:49 am

sprite

argh, how stressful!

5:50 am

Lizlin

Poor dog - but really hope it shuts up before we're ready to sleep.

5:50 am

crosshair

sneak over one day when they are aout and put a sound switch in the outdoor light socket by the door.every time the dog barks after that the light will go on and off.will drive them batty

5:50 am

sprite

I hope so too. I take it you don't have the cell phone number of the owners?

5:51 am

sprite

lol crossy

5:51 am

Lizlin

No - they're some young guys and I guess they've gone out for the evening. Perhaps the policeman, who lives in between us and them will get fed up soon and do something!

5:51 am

Lizlin

LOL Crossy!

5:52 am

sprite

that would be a good thing

5:52 am

Lizlin

The all night parties have stopped since the policeman moved in!

5:53 am

sprite

very nice. Good neighbours, policemen, lol.

5:53 am

lynxxx

Its usually pretty good to have a cop as a neighbour

5:53 am

Lizlin

Let's hope he stays there for a while - the house is rented.

5:53 am

crosshair

problem is that when he has a party and all his buds are over,you may as well just give up and join the party

5:54 am

sprite

lol crossy, true.

5:54 am

Lizlin

True - but hasn't happened yet and his teenage kids seem the quiet types at the moment.

5:55 am

crosshair

nice little no4 we do not see often= old yorkshire for doijng nothing

5:56 am

sprite

thanks crossy

5:56 am

Lizlin

Aye, lad!

5:56 am

lynxxx

5:56 am

Lizlin

Tried that too.

5:56 am

sprite

tried that too

5:56 am

crosshair

lol,that is american south bible belt stuff lol

5:57 am

lynxxx

I thought english =- gawd blimey etc

5:57 am

Lizlin

Or cockney, crossy.

5:57 am

Lizlin

As Lyn said.

5:57 am

crosshair

english or it's variants are funny things

5:58 am

sprite

especially when it comes to apostrophes ;)

5:58 am

Lizlin

lol!

5:58 am

crosshair

could be like this if you have a mouse in the house "gerrout!,gerrout ye wee beestie!"

5:58 am

Lizlin

The owner of my gym alway's puts apostrophe's in plural's! Drive's me mad.

5:59 am

sprite

lol Liz

5:59 am

lynxxx

mmm it's 11 pm, I have a wee bit of salad but I think I need something more substantial for dinner...see you all later

5:59 am

Lizlin

kg's etc.

6:00 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, Lyn.

6:00 am

sprite

bye lyn, have a good dinner *hug*

6:00 am

Lizlin

And bon appÃ©tit.

6:00 am

crosshair

tc,lynn

6:04 am

sprite

one of those grids with a brick wall in the middle?

6:05 am

Lizlin

Seems so.

6:05 am

crosshair

most likely

6:06 am

Lizlin

Some weird words here that I've just stumbled across.

6:06 am

o-o

Just another puny grid with few challenges

6:06 am

sprite

at 2/3, a brick wall is normal for me. But halfway? Early. Bad omen, lol. Which is a phantom.

6:07 am

Lizlin

Using list now and down to 19. Found a number of pt that I'd missed.

6:07 am

sprite

see here how babbled-through I am. I read your post, stared at the grid looking for pterin etc and only then realised pt has another meaning.

6:08 am

crosshair

lol

6:08 am

Lizlin

pt endings! Sorry! That was unclear.

6:08 am

sprite

lol, no, it was perfectly clear. I just had my babble glasses on, apparently.

6:08 am

Lizlin

Never realised you could have plural volcanos either!!!!

6:09 am

sprite

hi o-o, good to see you. I hope you are doing ok today. And yes, another one of those grids, lol.

6:09 am

crosshair

because you said that,tomorrow will be a 744

6:10 am

sprite

yeah, always seemed unfair to me. Plural volcanos, but only singular hawaiian geese and hairy-nosed dolphins.

6:10 am

sprite

oh crossy, that would be so awesome! Another monster. And please make it over 744 then, just to break the record.

6:12 am

crosshair

crossy has a dentist appt today at 08:30 am,so the saga continues:)

6:12 am

Lizlin

Really hope that you're getting to the end of all this dental work, Crossy.

6:12 am

sprite

crossy has to continue his sa4 from the PB though ;)
I heard you had evil pain, crossy... I hope things are a little better now and that they can take away the cause today.

6:13 am

crosshair

sigh,i hope so as well,liz

6:14 am

o-o

Just take the jaws of life along, crossy, and make it the permanent solution

6:14 am

crosshair

today is just a peek and if the antibiotic killed all the infection AND if the underside of the tooth in question is sound,then we can stop with a cleaning on the left side on dec 23

6:14 am

crosshair

what? beat the dentist to death with the jaws of life o-o??

6:14 am

sprite

brrrr I am so scared of dentists.
Lol crossy, death is very permanent. How about false teeth :)

6:15 am

crosshair

there we go.a false set of choppers

6:15 am

Lizlin

Hope it's just the cleaning solution.

6:15 am

crosshair

i shall want mine with points

6:15 am

sprite

would a permanent solution make your teeth curl?

6:16 am

crosshair

lol

6:16 am

o-o

the jaws of life would be canine carnivores

6:16 am

sprite

oh yes, crossy, highly fashionable in certain circles... vampire wannabe!

6:16 am

Lizlin

Ooooo! Who are you looking to bite?

6:16 am

Lizlin

But perhaps you shouldn't say!

6:16 am

crosshair

â€œHave you ever heard the wonderful silence just before the dawn? Or the quiet and calm just as a storm ends? Or perhaps you know the silence when you haven't the answer to a question you've been asked, or the hush of a country road at night, or the expectant pause of a room full of people when someone is just about to speak, or, most beautiful of all, the moment after the door closes and you're alone in the whole house? Each one is different, you know, and all very beautiful if you listen carefully.â€

Love the Phantom Tollbooth, both the book and the movie

7:49 am

o-o

Hello darkness, my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left its seeds while I was sleeping
And the vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a street lamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know
Silence like a cancer grows
Hear my words that I might teach you
Take my arms that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed
In the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls
And tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence

7:52 am

mixi6

agreed

7:52 am

joso

it's hard to believe the mind that came up with sound of silence, bridge over troubled water, and Graceland also gave us 50 ways to leave your lover

7:56 am

Judi

Good morning, luvs!

7:56 am

joso

hey judi

7:56 am

Judi

<<<<< RIP Mr. Mandela.

7:58 am

o-o

Loneliness often leads to isolation ... the darkness of indifference ... a void so difficult to fill ... and the silence can kill.

7:59 am

Buttonman

o-o, why so gloom and writing about darkness and death at a time of the year when Christmas is filled with light and hope

7:59 am

joso

what a shame, not a great suprise at 95, but still a great shame, mandela was a truly great man

8:00 am

Judi

Agreed, Joso. He will always be a great inspiration to many.

8:04 am

o-o

Ignore me, Buttonman ... memories of this time of the year are filled with violence that tested the spirit of even the most hardy.

8:04 am

Judi

Hey, Joso - speaking of Paul Simon... Remember "You can call me Al" ?

8:06 am

rbud

"Why am I soft in the middle - The rest of my life is so hard..." love it...

8:07 am

jimmel

I had the privilege of living in Cape Town, S. Africa for many years...my balcony view looked out over the bay at Robben Island...always sobering to think of Mandela's incarceration there, but equally inspiring that he overcame that adversity with love and forgiveness!

8:08 am

Buttonman

0-0, what can I do to encourage you out of the gloom because this is the time of year when we should all be caring about one another.

8:10 am

rbud

okay, now I'm singing "bonedigger, bonedigger, right back down the alley..." see what you've done, Judi? ;)

8:11 am

rbud

but one of my all-time favorites was always "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard" - happy memories...

8:14 am

o-o

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

8:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, yeah oh yeah, what my condition was in

8:19 am

flosey

flosey

I went to Chemainus theatre yesterday, saw It's a Wonderful Life - as a stage play it was done very well

8:31 am

joso

it's a wonderful story flosey, but hard to imagine a stage production could be as good as the movie

8:33 am

joso

just watched the vid for "You can call me Al", I always thought of it as 'If you'd be my body guard", came back to me in the first bar

8:33 am

Riverdance

Good Morning babble friends

8:44 am

rbud

new adoptees, River?

8:45 am

Riverdance

yes, I adopted 2 (brothers) 10 year old Maine Coon Cats. They are black with a while medalion on their chest. Quite handsome and very gentle.

8:45 am

flosey

fw, and off to get my first am coffee

8:46 am

Riverdance

just got them on Wednesday - so we are still getting to know each other. Their owner recently passed away so this is a whole new world for them.

8:46 am

rbud

congrats, flosey!

8:46 am

harpjane

hi

8:46 am

flosey

and River

8:46 am

rbud

aww, so kind of you to take them in!

8:47 am

Riverdance

since my ex took our dog, I have been wanting to get another companion and thought cats would work better for me.

8:47 am

Riverdance

Hi harpjane

8:48 am

rbud

did they come with some familiar items from home? (would seem to help them adjust) or through a shelter?

8:48 am

harpjane

I think Maine Coons are the best! (except for the hairballs!)

8:49 am

joso

I like the ragdolls

8:49 am

Riverdance

yes they came with their own blanket and some toys and their own hair brush

8:49 am

Riverdance

they are pretty matted. I have several balls I will need to cut out of their coat once they are more comfortable with me.

8:50 am

harpjane

ragdolls are great too! similar personality to the maine coon

8:50 am

Riverdance

I never heard of ragdolls

8:50 am

rbud

isn't that usually a rather large breed of cat? (the Maine Coons, I mean?)

8:51 am

harpjane

My Zephyr broke his old record when I put him outside today in below zero weather. 18 seconds from the back porch to his cat entrance.

8:51 am

harpjane

yes, Zephyr was 22 pounds in his prime.

8:51 am

harpjane

big, shy, pretty, and incredibly affectionate

8:51 am

Riverdance

they are good size - long and sleek. I dont know what they weigh but I dont think that much

8:52 am

Riverdance

these are inside only cats

8:52 am

harpjane

Zephyr was one of those yesterday lol

8:53 am

Riverdance

are you getting hit with the snow and cold?

8:53 am

rbud

hahaha, our spoiled indoor big black cat (who has lately decided he won't use the litterboxes, only wants to do his business outside) performed in record time this AM, also, probably less than a minute and he was back skritching at the door.

8:53 am

joso

bizarre cat, breed for it's placidity, to be safe around kids, but after successfully breed they recommend they not go into homes with small kids, they do not resist as the kids kill them.

8:53 am

Riverdance

I heard there is any icy blast going on throughout the midwest

8:54 am

rbud

no snow here in central Illinois yet, we've been lucky. but yes, VERY cold.

Hello. Restarting after a morning break. We got Murphy a fancy dog bed and had to put the padding inside the cover. We were barely smart enough to do it. Next time we get a chiuaua (sp.).

suze, is frank on a gluten free diet still? if so have you tried Blue Diamond Natural Nut Thins. They are really good crackers. I like the pecan nut thins and the almond nut thins.

4:19 pm

periwinkle

They sell them in Giant and Target here as well as health food stores

4:19 pm

uusue2

hi peri, Frank has celiac disease and will always be on a gluten free diet - we looked at the Diamond nut thins but they are processed on equipment that also processes wheat, and this often causes him problems

4:19 pm

crosshair

"wonder how they would taste with bacon on them ?:)))

4:19 pm

periwinkle

they are wheat and gluten free and

4:19 pm

periwinkle

oh, rats. they are nice and crispy too

4:19 pm

uusue2

they do look tasty, though....

4:20 pm

periwinkle

that is stupid marketing and packaging then to say they are wheat and gluten free and then say they are made in a place where wheat products are made

4:21 pm

periwinkle

I had them with two types of cheese dips over Thanksgiving

4:21 pm

lynxxx

I do hope you gave them that feedback Sue

4:21 pm

uusue2

well, it depends on how sensitive someone is, for some people it's not a problem. At least they do tell you about the possibility of cross-contamination!

5:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

what degree are you taking, crosshair?

5:24 pm

crosshair

actually,T.O.i am filling in a few holes is all this will let me go to university if I so desire at a later date,however,i do plan on taking some business course afterwards

5:25 pm

crosshair

so,no specific degree atm

5:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

you need to take college algebra to enroll for business degree

5:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

we needed to prove competency for statistics but that was for our masters.

5:26 pm

crosshair

well, this teacher says she can ramp it up for me as much as I wish,but I must take smaller stet.remember,i have been out of it for 33 years

5:27 pm

crosshair

smaller steps*

5:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

i guess. i dont recall using any math for business aside from the algebra you use in every day life.

5:28 pm

crosshair

well,i will see how it all pans out.it is all very flexible for now

5:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

need to wrap this sucker up

5:29 pm

crosshair

I have this year to fill the holes and I do not have to decide on anything till next august for September enrollment

5:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

here there are special prograns for adult learners. they do not expect you to have at your fingertips everything you learned in high school. unless you are going for a math degree, they would test and tutor you. they figure adult learners have lost enough time as is.

5:31 pm

crosshair

after this math for example, i have 5 weeks of college English

5:32 pm

crosshair

that is true.my memories of high school are dim indeed and not really relevant to what I need to do

5:33 pm

crosshair

i just got this new computer organized with the entire windows office suite on it to prepare.i see a lot of English homework in my future

5:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

we has to prove competency in math, economics and stat because we had not undergrad busniess degrees. once yo are in , you teach yourself

5:34 pm

crosshair

and Microsoft Word as vital

5:34 pm

crosshair

is

5:34 pm

crosshair

yes,just pass the entrance requirements and go to it

5:35 pm

Rows

hi all

5:35 pm

crosshair

howdy,rows

5:35 pm

crosshair

because like they say "it is you nickel" either learn or go home

5:35 pm

Rows

hello?

5:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

but then i never spent many years post degree without taking college courses for my own pleasure

5:35 pm

crosshair

howdy i said rows:))

5:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

hey rows!

5:45 pm

crosshair

so,for now, i am not sweating anything .I ran businesses for others for 30 years, so this is for myself, and at the end of the day, i am not a 20 year old trying to flesh out a resume with a bunch of letters after my name to build a carrear,but will just put my sheepskin on the wall and slide into a nice,quiet no stress business of my own that i can play around with to keep me busy till retirement in 17 years

5:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

good for you

5:48 pm

crosshair

i think so as well:)

5:53 pm

Lizlin

Good morning all :)

5:54 pm

howdy,liz

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi liz

5:55 pm

Lizlin

So, I have to ask, though probably you've already posted it, but how did it go at the dentist?

5:56 pm

Lizlin

Good ambition, Crossy - stress free business to take you through to retirement.

5:57 pm

crosshair

yuppers,i have the business cards,flyers,newsletters and designs and layout already done with the office suite programs and powerpint and publisher etc.ready to go

5:57 pm

crosshair

yes indeed liz.this time,it is for me,no one else

5:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye all

5:57 pm

Lizlin

That's great.

6:01 pm

crosshair

once i open the book shop/art supply store i will mail every babbler who asks for one ,a coupon for two free books. the catch is that you will have to come to my new store to get it. i want to see as many babblers as i can:))

6:02 pm

Lizlin

How about a free air ticket thrown in?

6:02 pm

crosshair

I can count maybe 15-25 regulars in Canada,the rest may take a little bit longer to drop in for a visit;))

6:03 pm

Lizlin

I think that's a really great idea.

6:04 pm

Lizlin

How much of a market is there still in real books - looking into the future - might just become collectors' items.

6:04 pm

crosshair

there is a very good market,actually.you buy specific books,older and collectable hard and soft covers and they are still very popular as gifts

6:05 pm

Lizlin

I can see that for speciality books.

6:05 pm

crosshair

a good quality copy of a muched loved story in hard cover is still treasured by those who receive it

6:06 pm

Lizlin

Fireworks.

6:06 pm

crosshair

much

6:06 pm

crosshair

yaaa for liz!!

6:06 pm

Lizlin

I really hope that continues. Even though I read on my iPad mostly, for convenience, I love real books.

6:06 pm

Lizlin

ty

6:07 pm

crosshair

i read on my nook or tablet mostly,but i treasure my hardcover books as well. i think there will continue to be room in this world for both

6:07 pm

Lizlin

Would your son, as one of today's youth, agree?

6:10 pm

crosshair

sadly,he is not much of a reader of books for enjoyment:((

6:11 pm

crosshair

but most youth readers i have talked to seem to find room for both "dead tree books" and e-book in their life

6:11 pm

Lizlin

Hope that continues.

6:12 pm

Lizlin

I guess if you're a reader, then that will probably apply but if you're not a reader, then it doesn't matter whether it's an electronic or "dead tree" book.

6:12 pm

crosshair

it seem to me,by my marketing surveys,that while most love e-books for the convenience of it all,real books are treasured more

6:12 pm

Lizlin

OK time to go for now - any clues before I leave?

6:12 pm

crosshair

no,ty,liz,i must earn my keep for a bit

6:14 pm

Lizlin

OK - enjoy your evening :)

9:52 pm

mab

9:52 pm

mab

oh, peach, cat people talk to their cats and then make up responses from the cats

9:52 pm

gapeach

I imagine she's deep into the grid.....will surface later.\

9:53 pm

mab

ie, kitty says 'yes mummy, i'm starving, that's what kitty says... and so on.

9:54 pm

rururocks

9:54 pm

mab

9:54 pm

gapeach

rururocks

gapeach

Howdy, ru.

9:55 pm

9:55 pm

rururocks

9:59 pm

mab

there is a woman in town who walks around with her preternaturally placid english bull terrier off the lead, and the poor animal freaks me out.

10:00 pm

gapeach

I used to have a poodle-pom mix named Charm and do naughty things and I would say "Charm, I am going to spank your butt." and he would reply in a hight pitched voice, "Oh, no, not my sweet butt'.

10:00 pm

mab

she seems like a harmless creature, but i think she is going to spring at me. the dog.

10:01 pm

mab

what a talented dog.

10:01 pm

mab

or peach is nutty around her dogs as i am around my cats.

10:02 pm

mab

is suspect the latter....

10:02 pm

gapeach

Yes, he was. Johnny Carson wanted him to be on his show.

10:02 pm

mab

i like dogs, but they do scare me.

10:02 pm

mab

but charm refused, i suppose.

10:03 pm

gapeach

That was a bald face lie. Sounded good though.,

Hello welki! How are you doing? Welcome to the chat log.

10:48 pm

welki

doing well, thanks - you?

10:50 pm

Minveryork

I am well. Playing FaceBook games and checking in every so often here in Babbleland. I'm just waiting for the flip.

10:51 pm

harpjane

what FB games, minver?

10:51 pm

welki

we just got home from disneyworld with some of our grandchildren (and their parents) - was a blast!

10:51 pm

welki

(but a shock to come home to windchill of -39C after splashing around in the pool with the kids)

11:06 pm

harpjane

wow, I imagine that's a definite surprise to the system, welki!

11:07 pm

welki

yep, but it's good to be home :)

11:08 pm

welki

are you having the same temps from this giant cold front?

11:11 pm

Minveryork

Hello harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

11:11 pm

stidmama

hello welki and harpjane

11:12 pm

stidmama

and all

11:12 pm

harpjane

yes but I'm in a relatively mild spot. we are about 6 below F, or -21C. Our wind isn't supposed to be too bad. I've been hauling the harp around, which is a challenge. You need to move FAST between the house and the car.

11:12 pm

harpjane

hi stid

11:12 pm

welki

hey stid - how goes the battle?

11:12 pm

Minveryork

I play Bubble Blitz, Candy Crush, Family Feud, & Pyramid

11:12 pm

Minveryork

Hello stidmama! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

11:12 pm

welki

i imagine you can't keep it tuned when it goes from warm to cold to warm - same as any stringed instrument, right?

11:13 pm

stidmama

it goes, welki -- there is a bathtub in the garage today... we are getting the standard pre-molded acrylic type for Grant's bathroom. :-) Waiting for the skylights to be installed and then at least the inside of the house won't always be so wet.

11:14 pm

Bugsaw

hi everyone and stid

11:15 pm

welki

hi, bugsaw

11:15 pm

stidmama

(((((((BUGS!!!!!!!!)))))))

11:15 pm

Bugsaw

great fun for your family welki, I am envious

11:15 pm

stidmama

I am so happy to see you! how long can you stay up and play? are you feeling better? how's mr bugs? how are you? do you need anything? I have vacation in two more weeks, can come up and mother you...

11:15 pm

Bugsaw

you need to post more pictures of your house stid

11:16 pm

Bugsaw

oh my goodness, stid is bouncing!

11:16 pm

welki

sounds like good progress, stid - a long wait, but worth it

11:16 pm

stidmama

I don't have new pics yet bugs, by the time I get to the house after school the sun is well down below the trees

11:17 pm

Bugsaw

I am not playing right now because I don't have the stamina at this time of night. I played once a couple of days ago but the foot hurts so much at times, I don't last long before I have to go lie down and prop it up nice and high

11:17 pm

stidmama

hoping tomorrow I will have some. You will LOVE the french doors in our bedroom, they have the blinds INSIDE the glass (so they don't get dusty or have dogs try to climb up them). :-)

11:18 pm

Bugsaw

those are the best doors stid. People who have them love them

11:18 pm

stidmama

I am sorry it still hurts so much. What can I do/provide/offer to help from here?

11:19 pm

Bugsaw

If you want to come up, you are always welcome but it would probably be a dumb idea since I can't do anything. I have a wheelchair but the house is too small to get around in the house so I am forced to hop, leaning on a walker. I can't even get myself a drink...

11:19 pm

stidmama

those doors totally blew our budget. And then I insisted on one skylight that would have an electric opener (but skipped the integrated blinds on those -- may rethink that decision later). Don't know how I can afford all the lights I want... *sigh* :-) being patient. I can always change out lights that are cheapter later, though.

11:20 pm

Minveryork

Hello Bugsaw! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.

11:20 pm

Bugsaw

hello Minveryork. I am well with my broken ankle propped up. I have missed my Babble friends so much the last 2 weeks

11:20 pm

stidmama

I won't stress you out by coming over... *thinking about ways around the hopping* a rolling scooter? A lot of people around here seem to have these little rolling scooters when they hurt their feet.

11:21 pm

welki

blech. 8 left and the jet lag has kicked in. g'night folks

11:21 pm

Bugsaw

poor welki. Can't others help with the last 8 ?

11:22 pm

stidmama

Mother will be SO PLEASED you are okay. She and I have a girls' day planned tomorrow afternoon. We'll figure something out...

11:22 pm

stidmama

I am only down to 52, no help here, sorry

11:23 pm

Bugsaw

I have positioned the wheelchair in the computer room. I can't sit in it and get out of the room, but I can enter backwards on my walker, sit in the chair and wheel to the computer. I even had my tutoring student come here today and we worked on my computer that way

11:23 pm

stidmama

oh! I know one thing that might help you with getting drinks... do you have a "camelback" bottle? I have an extra!

11:24 pm

rururocks

Does a camel back bottle get one over the hump?

11:24 pm

stidmama

I could ship that up to you. I love mine. And you could hook it onto the walker with a carabiner (mr bugs would know how to set it up)

11:24 pm

Bugsaw

I don't have one of those. My sister suggested one of those beer hats that you can strap 2 beer cans onto the side of hard hat and insert straws. Mr Bugs offered to make it but I declined. I have a glass in the bathroom if I ever need a drink.

11:25 pm

stidmama

LOL bugs! okay, I will ship you the extra one. You'll like it. Mother has one, too.

11:25 pm

Bugsaw

It sounds like it wud ruru! good one

11:26 pm

stidmama

silly ruru-goat!

11:26 pm

Bugsaw

Thanks, but I could probably buy one if I could ever get out. Please don't send it if it costs too much. Canadian postal rates are nuts

11:27 pm

stidmama

ah, but I don't pay Canadian postal rates! *grin*

11:27 pm

stidmama

I'll get it packaged up this weekend and Tom can send it Monday for me.

11:28 pm

Bugsaw

The broken bones don't seem to hurt too much. I looked on the net and it looks like the ligaments and tendons are the ones that hurt. I am hoping that hurting means they are mending. I blew out the whole ankle so they tell me it will be a long time healing

11:29 pm

stidmama

well, poop. Guess you'll need help planting potatoes this year.

11:29 pm

Minveryork

Oh no Bugsaw! How did you manage to break your ankle?

11:29 pm

Bugsaw

Thanks stid but only if you can maage the cost. It will give me an excuse to come down and see your house in the summer when it is done.

11:29 pm

stidmama

hey min

11:30 pm

stidmama

The advantage is that we can BOTH look forward to that!

11:31 pm

Bugsaw

Just slipped on a patch of something slippery on a downhill walkway. My foot rolled over and then I tried to stand on it and totally smooshed it. It was so embarrassing but thank God for cellphones. I could have been lying there from 8:30 in the morning to suppertime.

11:33 pm

Minveryork

Hi stidmama! How are you? Sorry I missed your entrance

11:34 pm

stidmama

I am well, Min -- went to the middle school orchestra (strings) concert this evening. I have subbed in for the teacher a couple times and it was nice to hear the "finished product." There are so many bright spots in my life. How are you, Min

11:34 pm

Bugsaw

I must be off. Happy Babbling everyone!

11:35 pm

stidmama

sweet dreams bugs (((bugs hugs)))

11:38 pm

stidmama

okay, I am exhausted and going to sleep. :-) have a lovely weekend, all! *poof*
