1:15 am

grannyrose

i think so, pugs...but i have to admit, she was great...just...yes/no/op shop. was very pleased at how fast she worked...idid have to keep prompting her...what about your sister, what about the grandkiddies...she was good about it all. btw...the infamous opal pendant...not there...guess the MIL lost it at some stage..

1:16 am

puglet

glad she was like that for you---that makes the process so much smoother for everyone

1:17 am

grannyrose

soooo,we have half a bedroom empty. tomorrow she has to make a decision about furniture, and about 6 boxes of odds and ends. then we are done.

Taking one day at a time. It was sunny and warmer today... lots of snow melted from high 30 temps over the weekend. I can't believe how fast it comes and how quickly it can thaw. I do hate these huge temp fluctuations.

Lizlin

Back again :)

1:55 am

jillibus

Lucky you, rose -- I have one in the garden, a floribunda "Little Darling", and the rabbits got to it last spring.

1:56 am

Lizlin

Are you feeling more relaxed now, Rose, after today?

1:56 am

jillibus

Hi liz

1:56 am

jillibus

Rose had a busy day?

1:56 am

grannyrose

g'day liz. fang has finally left. my goodness that woman is hard work!!

1:56 am

jillibus

Fang?

1:57 am

Lizlin

Hi Jilli :)

1:57 am

Lizlin

I realise that Fang is hard work, but it seems from what you wrote, that she wasn't uncooperative today.

1:57 am

grannyrose

lolol, poor jilli. my SIL's nickname is fang, for very obvious reasons. today she 'helped' clean out MIL's rooms.

1:58 am

grannyrose

yes, liz...today she was in a good mood...thank heavens...

1:58 am

flosey

aha, just got the ca8

1:59 am

flosey

mokeyed it

1:59 am

Lizlin

So pleased - so are you a step nearer now to being finally sorted?

1:59 am

Lizlin

WTG Flosey.

1:59 am

grannyrose

well done you, flosey

1:59 am

flosey

thanks Liz and Rose

1:59 am

grannyrose

yes, liz, so close i can 'smell' it

2:00 am

jillibus

lol rose -- sounds like a great name for your "helpful" SIL!

2:00 am

Lizlin

Wow! The relief will be tremendous.

2:01 am

grannyrose

jilli, she absolutely gob-smacked by how much her 'mother' had accumulated.

2:01 am

Lizlin

And no arguments about jewellery?

2:03 am

grannyrose

nope, liz...the famed opal pendant is missing...too bad, so sad. looks like MIL lost it. the pendant i mean.

2:03 am

jillibus

My family will be gobsmacked by all my accumulations too. Especially all my stuff about Great Danes which they don't care about but lots of others do. Unfortunately thhose who do are all over the world, not here.

2:04 am

Lizlin

That's sad, Rose but perhaps it'll turn up in some dark corner somewhere.

2:04 am

grannyrose

lolol, jilli. they will cope, never fear.

2:04 am

Lizlin

Perhaps, Jilli, you should put names to the Great Dane things - people whom you think will like them and appreciate them. Then put it in writing!

2:05 am

jillibus

What's kept me busy today is FB chats with Dane people in Latvia, Ireland, Norway, India, the Philippines, Canada and the USA -- and maybe I've forgotten someone elsewhere like maybe Germany or Denmark.

2:05 am

puglet

could you donate it to the akc Jilli

2:05 am

grannyrose

not all that worried, liz. i think fang imagined it was here. don and i have never seen it. pretty sure she and jeanette threw it out a long time ago, when they cleaned out MIL's fridge. long before me.

2:06 am

Lizlin

You're probably right. As long as Fang doesn't think you've squirrelled it away somewhere.

2:07 am

jillibus

AKC wouldn't care. Maybe the Gt Dane Club of America, to which I belong -- but who would get it all there? I'll figure something out.

2:08 am

grannyrose

well, don and i both went through all her knitted jumpers/sweaters and all her handbags. we found nothing.

2:09 am

jillibus

Liz -- my Dane stuff isn't "things" -- it's files and files and files and books and books and books and pictures and pictures and pictures.

2:10 am

Lizlin

Sorry, Jilli. I didn't mean "things" in a negative way. I couldn't think of another way of expressing it.

2:10 am

jillibus

Oh , and a woodcarving I did of the ideal Dane head, which is rather delicate.

2:10 am

puglet

Jilli, how long have you researched the breed?

2:10 am

grannyrose

fang says MIL told her it was in her jumper/sweater drawer. the only thing don and i found was a cheapo opal pendant on a silver chain...not a gold chain.

2:11 am

Lizlin

You've done your best then!

2:11 am

puglet

ooh I bet thats something to see Jilli--can you post it sometime

2:11 am

jillibus

pug, I have a book published called The TimeTraveller: the development of the Great Dane, and it represents about 20 years of reaearch.

2:12 am

puglet

wow Jilli--you have put alot of time and interest in the breed. Congrats!

2:12 am

jillibus

I'll post a pic of my Dane head asap -- stay tuned.

2:13 am

Lizlin

That's pretty awesome, Jilli - such a lot of work.

2:13 am

puglet

2:15 am

2:17 am

Over a century ago, Scottish professor Walter Alexander Raleigh insisted that "there are no synonyms, and the same statement can never be repeated in a changed form of words." Most contemporary linguists would subscribe to his explanation:

Every strange word that makes its way into a language spins for itself a web of usage and circumstance, relating itself from whatsoever centre to fresh points in the circumference. No two words ever coincide throughout their whole extent.
("Synonyms and Variety of Expression" in Style, 1897)

Michel Jarraud is Secretary-General of the World Meteorological Organization, the WMO. He says records show the Earth is warmer now than it was 10 years ago.

â€œThis decade, the last decade was the warmest decade on record and what we call cold years now are actually warmer than any warm year before â€™98.â€

He also says levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases reached new highs in 2012. Greenhouse gases trap heat in the atmosphere. He believes that, as more heat gets trapped, temperatures on Earthâ€™s surface will continue rising.

oo. do I look up WHO for that quote? I need it for my volume 4 which will be listing how we are killing ourselves. The planet of course will go on orbiting without us.

8:54 am

RoundBarn

8:57 am

Scrabbler

Hi RB

8:59 am

RoundBarn

hi scrab. sorry your snow is going. we have spring here (again) it comes and goes. My last poem in the Ill Times was thanking my (dead) daughter for all her minnesota clothes. The new years poem was good nes--we can't destroy the planet--just us and a whole lot of species. Cheerful. But this week's will be funny.

9:01 am

Scrabbler

Winter will resume tomorrow. We need fresh snow. However, I was a housecleaning machine over the weekend and attacked 2 bedrooms.

9:02 am

RoundBarn

scrabs you are one of the ones I watch--(in bits, I do work all day and night!) interested in your synesthesia, I think you were the one, you and Haz see words.

9:03 am

Scrabbler

Yes, and I have ben doing more reading about my ticker-tape synesthesia. I have other ones too--calendar, and I see music in shapes.

9:04 am

RoundBarn

glofkill's profile indicates he's very new--I'm sorta new--he'll find this place full of word nerds. the trouble woth clues as Aloy says is you can do a lot of the grid without even looking at it--like this morning. But O can use some of o-o's fount of info.

9:04 am

Haz1558

Hello, Scrabbler and everyone. What shape does your calendar take?

9:05 am

Scrabbler

Haz, my synesthete sister! Hm, I see it as a large bluepprint spread out in front of my eyes.

9:05 am

RoundBarn

scrabs too bad i don't drive to VT every summer as I did till a couple years ago--I go right past you. (I fly--and really have to sell the cottage--on a beautiful lake--sad.

9:05 am

Haz1558

And is it a year's worth of time or less?

9:06 am

Scrabbler

I can zoom in and out to see what I need to. I can zoom out and see a timeline of history.

9:07 am

Scrabbler

Actually, the timeline is a separate image.

9:07 am

Haz1558

Coloured or not?

9:07 am

o-o

Hello, hurshy

9:07 am

Scrabbler

No color.

9:08 am

Haz1558

Interesting. And the musical shapes - what are they like? (Sorry for so many questions!)

9:08 am

RoundBarn

scrab, do you hae that huge (actual) time line of history made in the 19th century? I have it from my gr grandfather we'd spread it out on the floor--goes back to Adam--it's been recentltly republished. The last thousand years or two are pretty accirate.

9:08 am

Scrabbler

The shapes are like a landscape--higher mountains for loud or high notes, lower for softer or lower notes. I see songs that way.

9:09 am

Haz1558

Phone, back in a mo.

9:09 am

Scrabbler

No, RB, but I have seen those posters.

9:09 am

RoundBarn

I want to hear the musical shapes, scrab--I HEAR music most of the time but can shut it off--usually--when I'm working--

9:11 am

Scrabbler

Because I have a ticker-tape scrolling in my brain I prefer to watch movies (DVDs or on the computer) with closed caption.

9:11 am

RoundBarn

and someone's coming to work with me in 15 minutes so I better get off of here and eat something--i am not an addict i am not an addict i a m not an addict--it's all rastapopolous's fault

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Neuroscience, cognitive science are fascinating.

9:12 am

Scrabbler

Bye, RB. Come back later.

9:13 am

Scrabbler

Cousin Earth, are you here?

9:14 am

RoundBarn

scrab, you and Oliver S should be having interesting conversations. Did I miss Crossy this morning? He always brightens my day. Poink--or is it boink?

9:14 am

Scrabbler

I did not enter til about 850 or so

9:15 am

o-o

Crossy is at his class

9:15 am

RoundBarn

oo, you didn't answer me on WMO--do I find it on line?

well, as of right now, I am at 91% . there are 11 days of class left and what is left is worth 30% of the total, so even if I drop dead right as we speak, I should still manage a 61% lol

1:39 pm

RoundBarn

the problem with the mass clues in the a.m. aloy is y you can do the grid without even looking at the grid--I think you said you shut off the clues.

1:39 pm

RoundBarn

is that percent passing?

1:40 pm

crosshair

many of us turn of the chat till we reach a particular personal word goal,roundbarn, then click it on for yakking and to gather up the last few words

1:41 pm

barely, rounddbarn,bit it will not matter as I am feeding the worms anyways:)

1:41 pm

i usually don't look at it until i hit a wall...or need stats for the longer words....

1:42 pm

RoundBarn

i have your address crossie but to mail to canada is astronomical, and even here--and we're going up again in less than two weeks--

1:42 pm

crosshair

if you wish to send me love letters, roundbarn, I will pay the freight:))))

1:43 pm

RoundBarn

they are sort of love letters. I'll see what Canada costs--I have several addresses--a few more love letters!

1:44 pm

RoundBarn

my br-in-law directs a summer music festival every summer in New Brunswick--I used to go regularly to one or two efents. Some funny stories but not to print here.

1:45 pm

crosshair

but seriously, if you need mail funds for anything, just email me. I owe you a few after that last expensive parcel you sent me;)

1:45 pm

cosdem

The cable news channels are broadcasting a news conference related to Justin Bieber egging a house. In case you want to mark the beginning of the end on your calendars.

1:46 pm

RoundBarn

if you read the parcel it's worth it. I figure everything is a business expense and deduct it.

1:46 pm

crosshair

i highly enjoyed what i have read so far roundbarn. was working my way through all the booklets first

1:47 pm

RoundBarn

2013 is now printed. Crossie, and has two poems about babble in it--have to check to see if I used your name

1:48 pm

crosshair

oohh!, if you made me famous by using my name, i must have a copy:))

1:49 pm

RoundBarn

i'll go look

1:49 pm

crosshair

unless you made me infamous:))

1:52 pm

of course being an anti-hero adds a bit of mystery to it all:))

1:53 pm

RoundBarn

the only name I use in either poem is uusue's, though you may recognize some people--I describe the game more, in one. And now I must poing off to work. (Using your word as a verb, crossie--here's an

mm,m goot tip RB, but i would just save myself some grief and just say " would of" or "would have"

1:56 pm

RoundBarn

oh I got it wrong. I stand corrected. I am off to go poinking. Poinked this morning. can one be poinkier? In England we said tata, but enable wont take that.

1:57 pm

crosshair

mm,i can see me must set down some ground rules for poink and all its varriations

1:57 pm

RoundBarn

crossie you've said would of, I just don't want you saying it on a test. Of course if I were the teadher I wouldn't count off, just say what it was. I graded differently from my colleagues.

1:57 pm

crosshair

can we re-poink or un-poink for example?

1:59 pm

RoundBarn

I seem to be unpoinking since I was heading off to poink. This is more fun. Did you read in way back chat what I said about Rastapopolous when she was a kid, about words?

1:59 pm

crosshair

no, i missed it. do tell me:))

2:02 pm

crosshair

here is something for you roundbarn....

2:02 pm

RoundBarn

this morning ghere was word talk--a new person said he was a word person. and I said when rasta was in h.s. she said, "this is what I love--when we can spend a whole evening on a preposition!" this was at home, at the table., not at school. She stu ill can match anybody on this grid even o-o, but seldom speaks up. Sshe had Groves memorized as plleasurable reading. Wish she could gind a word job.

2:03 pm

RoundBarn

did I miss something, crossie?

2:04 pm

crosshair

as you may or may not be aware, our town here hosts the International elvis festival. people come from all over the world. Now it came to pass that as local people, we would often see more than one elvis gathered at a contest,or eating in a restaurant, or just waiting to cross the street at the lights. Yhe problem was we did not have a word that we could use that would describe a gathering of more than one elvis. In times us locals began using the term "elvii" to describe more than one elvis. This has since been picked up by the websters dictionary

2:06 pm

RoundBarn

I love it! Now the town where I live--it's the very same but with multiple Lincilns--what's the word for a pod of Lincolns?

2:06 pm

crosshair

mmm..

2:06 pm

crosshair

lincons...

2:06 pm

crosshair

that is a tough one

2:07 pm

2:07 pm

2:07 pm

RoundBarn

well I have a lot of poinking to do so I beeter leave, this is too much fun. I'll send you another Liberty, Crossie--or is it Crossy--

2:08 pm

crosshair

2:08 pm

2:09 pm

2:09 pm

tc roundbarn

2:11 pm

RoundBarn

too much fun, I'm going. I'll ask at our enos park meeting tonight--the funeral cortege will go right through us in two years--do we put up crepe or not? What to do abt decaying Oak Ridge cemetery? look up this week's Il Times article on our famous cemetery--now in grave disprepair--you'll also see my Demi poem. poink.

2:13 pm

RoundBarn

nobody's laughing at my joke? well I'm really outa here

2:13 pm

crosshair

spry,rb,i had drifted to a different site.will read now

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

crosshair

all that meant is I'm off to price canada, Poink.

2:23 pm

crosshair

since I do not follow famous dead people in the united states and where they may or may not be buried, and since we were talking about Lincoln just a bit earlier, I am guessing that RB has ole Abe himself interred iin her home town cemetery:))

2:24 pm

crosshair

think i shall google Oak Ridge and see..brb

2:25 pm

crosshair

ahh yes. Springfield.Home of Honest Abe and Homer Simpson:)). that is one heck of a burial plot!!!

3:05 pm

RoundBarn

I think homer S is alive and well and living in Springfield, Mass-I think we lost in that contest--though I suggested we add the Simpson family on one end of our town square, to match the L family-- (did we kill the dhat?)

3:06 pm

RoundBarn

there is a S'field in every state of the union

3:08 pm

Judi

Afternoon, all. Yes, Roundbarn. But how many Springfields have nuclear power plants???

3:09 pm

RoundBarn

hmm, name them--I know we're not one--we have enough fight with the big coal burner we have

3:09 pm

RoundBarn

one is near us at Clinton, IL though, and great controversy

3:11 pm

My tablet is fun for some things and it's easy to read or play solitaire, but trying to use it for FB or Babble doesn't work well on it (it's a 7 inch Samsung). My phone keeps telling me it's memory is full, and I'm not doing well at all on the iPad or iPod my son offered for me to use.

11:34 pm

uusue2

haha, I think it must have run off with mine, granny! It's been AWOL for quite a while.

11:34 pm

awww gwen. don't you just hate it when stuff happens in a bunch like that?

11:35 pm

grannyrose

;-P sue

11:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yup!

11:36 pm

uusue2

my son got beaten up on New Year's Eve, after he had already lost his car keys - had a concussion but is ok now, but those were the last keys for his car; getting new ones (and fixing the various things that then cascaded from that) cost about $1000

11:36 pm

grannyrose

hang in there, hun. if talking about it helps, i'll listen. look!! two ears, no waiting.

11:36 pm

uusue2

but all is well now and we have taken possession of the spare keys

11:37 pm

grannyrose

egad, sue. what a terrible thing to happen! i'm so glad he has recovered okay.

11:37 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

holy cow

11:38 pm

joso

jeez sue

11:38 pm

uusue2

he started a new semester yesterday and is getting lots of help so we are hoping for a better outcome (he failed all but one of his classes last fall, mostly due to depression, which he is finally getting treated for)

11:38 pm

uusue2

but as I say, things are definitely looking up and he is in good spirits

11:39 pm

uusue2

and I am finally back to singing with the women's chorus in town again, which makes me happy

11:40 pm

grannyrose

lovely sue. it's always nice to be able to do something you really like to do. and glad that your son is better. i hope 2014 holds everything he wishes for.

11:41 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

singing is way better for depression than taking prozac (or whatever)

11:43 pm

uusue2

I agree, gwen!

11:45 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i started a singing circle at my church and we meet every wednesday night. singing for fun: no performances, no practicing, no solos, and, most important, no putdowns

11:45 pm

uusue2

wow, just listing, I sure missed a lot of de words!

11:45 pm

uusue2

that sounds like fun, gwen!

11:46 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

it's hellafun, and i'm pretty sure it helps some of us (including me) keep our heads on straight, too

11:47 pm

uusue2

I sing with our church choir too, but that is a lot less work - we usuallly just rehearse Sunday mornings

11:47 pm

grannyrose

i sing like a frog with a sore throat.

11:48 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

but if you were with us in the singing circle, no one would be allowed to make a peep about it!

11:50 pm

grannyrose

put me in the back row...i'll just flap my gums, and pretend...lol

11:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nbt at last, and 52 to go

11:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, you're mixing up a choir with a singing circle 8-)

11:51 pm

uusue2

I'm down to 39 but won't finish

11:51 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yes, of course, our church has a choir, a completely different animal

11:52 pm

uusue2

well, our church is pretty small, so the choir is informal

11:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yeah, most uu choirs are smallish, which is why we envy the baptist so much (joke!)

11:54 pm

grannyrose

sue? hun, you haven't posted how frank's PET scan went. is everything okay.

11:55 pm

uusue2

oh, it was clear, granny, we found out quite a while ago now, so it's gotten buried in my profile. Thanks for asking!!

11:56 pm

uusue2

Now I'm making him get all the dental work done that he's put off for the past 10 years, so he is not happy about that, but it really needs to get done

11:56 pm

grannyrose

oh, good. i was a little concerned when there wasn't an up-date.

11:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

well, i'm going to make a guess for number of words for the next grid, then say good night

11:57 pm

11:57 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

wow sue! i'm only down to 50 now

11:58 pm

grannyrose

whoot sue, goooo girl

11:58 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

11:58 pm

uusue2

11:59 pm

Book Doctor Gwen
