good morning puglet. hope you are warm and the snow has stopped

1:53 am

puglet

morning bf--more snow later today and a big downfall in temp :(

1:53 am

puglet

How is it for you

1:55 am

bfdeele

We are to get three days of below zero weather. Hopefully we can make it thru. The cold is causing all kinds of problems here. We are all checking on our neighbors and calling friends making sure everyone is as comfortable as possible.

1:55 am

bfdeele

We are to get three days of below zero weather. Hopefully we can make it thru. The cold is causing all kinds of problems here. We are all checking on our neighbors and calling friends making sure everyone is as comfortable as possible.

1:56 am

bfdeele

Do you have neighbors that can check on you ?

1:56 am

puglet

sounds about like us---what state are you in? Iam in the mid-west of Indiana

1:57 am

puglet

we have neighbors but they dont check in with us

1:57 am

bfdeele

I live south of Pittsburgh, PA.

1:58 am

puglet

you guys just had a heavy snow storm , didnt you

1:59 am

bfdeele

We are in the midst of another several inches of snow tonight and tomorrow night. Enough already. You all have a lot of snow too, don't you?

2:00 am

bfdeele

I hope you don

2:01 am

puglet

I dont think we have as much as you guys. We just got 3-4 inches yesterday and about the same for today with strong winds and then a big drop in temps (about like you guys)

2:02 am

bfdeele

t have to get out in this weather. People here are working from home and not out on the roads. I will say tho that the road crews do a great job in keeping the roads clear. I will check outside to see how much snow is actually on the ground.

2:02 am

puglet

Then unless it changes a wintermix over both days next week end--

2:04 am

bfdeele

Also, I go to cbs Pittsburgh and click on the traffic cams and can see the snow all over the area the northern areas get a lot more than we do. our wind has stayed fairly calm so far. ready for spring

2:04 am

puglet

We still got big drifts from yesterdays snow. Iam so over this winter. It just seems to drag on and on

2:05 am

bfdeele

I think when people can'

2:05 am

puglet

thats neat to be able to do (the traffic cams)

2:07 am

bfdeele

can't get out they become quite surly. You can type in cbs and then whatever city you want and see is something comes up most cities have a cbs station. Most of my relatives are in the Midwest and west and I can check on their areas that way

2:08 am

puglet

okay, thanks for that -bf

2:11 am

dizgrannie

hope all yu guys/gals are safe...we don't have that sorta storms here xoxo

2:12 am

puglet

thanks diz--Iam safe, just hard to get out and Hello

2:13 am

bfdeele

I just looked outside and it is so much snow. Must be around a foot or so. No one has shoveled their walks and we are not going to until next week. thanks diz, we are safe and warm thank goodness we are blessed with great neighbors and friends.

2:14 am

dizgrannie

hey Pugs, me is trying imagine to be snow stormed in

2:14 am

puglet

has the snow quit bf

2:15 am

puglet

they have put on tv no one on the roads unless its a have to thing

2:17 am

bfdeele

the snow has stopped for now but it to begin again tomorrow and snow into Monday morning. Not sure how much more will fall and at this point it doesnot matter . our roads have been cleared and most folks have four wheel drive so getting out is not too bad but don' t want to

2:17 am

puglet

its not bad Diz if you are prepared for it but when it just lingers on and on like its been you need out for a while---Ive been so bored

2:18 am

dizgrannie

ya need snow chains'

2:19 am

puglet

they havent touched ours yet. But the wind was so bad that it wouldnt had mattered anyway, and being out in the country ours are the last to get the plows

2:19 am

bfdeele

I live in a condo complex and some people are getting together for card games, etc and seem to be having fun with this. Pugs I think we will make snow icecream tomorrow.

2:20 am

puglet

red boxes

2:20 am

bfdeele

red boxes but are gone now

2:21 am

bfdeele

I've got to get up and walk around for a minute or two. will be back later.

2:22 am

puglet

that sounds yummy bf and thats nice you got people to help pass time

2:25 am

puglet

My poor dogs, are very active and its so cold they can only take it for five or ten minutes. They are getting coop up madness too-lol

2:27 am

bfdeele

just saw on CNN that people on a cruise ship have become ill with some kind of virus. really can't feel too sorry for them. my cats do not go outside but like to watch the snow falling they would be quite miffed to get their feet wet and cold. not that they are too spoiled and all.

2:28 am

puglet

They dont sound spoiled to me--lol

2:28 am

bfdeele

I don't have a dog anymore and miss having one. we really can't have one here as there is no yard for them to run and we have to keep them on leashes when outside.

2:29 am

puglet

maybe a very small dog might work

2:36 am

bfdeele

I thought about a small dog but have a big male cat that is such a terror. His name is Simon but also goes by Rambo Blunderbutt. We have had to tape the lamps to the end tables and night tables and cannot have anything on a flat surface as it becomes his play toy. We have had to block off the kitchen as he gets on the counters eand then opens the cabinet doors and the pantry and plays with the cans, etc. Hopefully he will grow up as he matures he is only a little over a year old . I have to watch him all the time. He tries to get into the back of the tv in my bedroom and see if the oeople are in there. it just goes on and on. like having a toddler around. I pop his butt with a rolled up newspaper to get his attention and it seems to slow him down a bit. he is so funny and fetches anything== thrown for him to catch. really enjoy him

2:38 am

puglet

Well with a cat like that why do you need a dog-lol---what does he look like

2:44 am

bfdeele

I have three rescue kitten/cats. They are black with very long silky fur and big plume like tails. Their fur is so soft and beautiful. Besides Simon we have Sophie, a very delicate female but puts Simon in his place often. She will wait until I throw a ball for him and then she will lay on it and he gets so upset. He knows better than to pounce on her as I will put him in the extra bedroom for time out and he haates being alone. The other cat is a male and about two years old. He is very shy and spends most of his time downstairs in the laundry. It is carpeted and warm so he has food and water and litter box and his own cat bed . Simon and Sophie sleep where ever they want. They ave cat beds but don't sleep in them much. They are all spoiled and beautiful.

2:46 am

puglet

I take it Simon is the newest to the family. Sophie seems to know how to put him in his place. Must be very fun watching them

2:47 am

bfdeele

I love my babies. Have always had cats but these seem to be special for some reason. How many dogs do you have? What kind?

2:50 am

puglet

I have my sister's cat(Sassy) when she divorce her ex took her to the pound and my sister went and got her and ask if I would take her. And I did. She was a house cat with my sister. Here she has to stay out due to the dogs. But she has adjusted very well. I have now had her about five years. She must be about twenty or close to it. It upset me that my sister has three house cats now with her new hubby.

2:52 am

puglet

I have 3--a pug--a great dane and a boxer (all rescue too) and then my sister has a small dog-(she is very old)

2:55 am

bfdeele

What a nice mix of dogs. A great dane would be like a giant dog next to the pug. I had a boxer growing up and it was a very good dog. It is nice that you live where they can be free outside and play like dogs are supposed to. your sister should come get Sassy I bet Sassy misses her. but it is nice that she has a good home with you. Do they have outside dog houses to stay in?

2:57 am

puglet

I have a barn--and they have a straw filled box up in the loft too. But she usually picks where she wants to sleep. And we have about 3/4 of an acre fenced in for the dogs.

2:58 am

pink17

hello everyone

2:59 am

puglet

Believe it or not, the great dane(Beulah) is bossed by the pug--lol

2:59 am

puglet

Hi Pink

2:59 am

2:59 am

pink17

hiya puglet nice to see eyou

3:00 am

bfdeele

3:00 am

puglet

Nice to see you too Pink. Hows the weather where you are

3:01 am

bfdeele

3:01 am

pink17

3:02 am

puglet

Beulah can put Annapooh's whole head and more in her mouth but they play together so good. And they are funny

4:00 am

puglet

Is this something you wanted Angel and hello

4:01 am

Angelsong

puglet, yes. We offered and he accepted.

4:01 am

Alleyn58

Found them. How does one view chat that has left the page?

4:02 am

puglet

the tiny square n4 to my friends

4:03 am

puglet

Thats good then Angel,, hope everything works out for you

4:03 am

puglet

How old is he?

4:05 am

Angelsong

he is 31, and he is looking for a job.

4:05 am

Alleyn58

Thx. Always wondered what that was!

4:05 am

puglet

I wish luck to you both

4:06 am

puglet

yw

4:08 am

puglet

going for coffee-brb

4:17 am

rubyfoo

heloo? Dinky grid for a Sunday!

4:17 am

puglet

HELLO Ruby!

4:18 am

rubyfoo

yay {{little pgs!!!}}

4:18 am

rubyfoo

pugs*

4:18 am

puglet

It may be small but its not very friendly(or not so for me)

4:19 am

puglet

How is Mis Ruby today

4:19 am

rubyfoo

they're never friendly for me. I'm happy with half, nbt and nbs, but don't always even get those.

4:19 am

rubyfoo

As least with the big ones, there's something to do

4:21 am

puglet

Ive been so bored for the last several days. Crabby weather is making me feel closed in

4:21 am

puglet

Iam the same way,, if I can get half I feel okay

4:21 am

rubyfoo

I can imagine. My sister, in NY, is miserable with extreme cold and ice as well as in termittent snow. She barely pokes her head out

4:22 am

rubyfoo

I never list because even though Sprite showed me how, I could never do it on my own

4:22 am

puglet

and seems to be no let up anytime soon

4:22 am

puglet

Is your sister younger or older then you

4:23 am

rubyfoo

we are very lucky with the weather here. only one small snowstorm so far and most days, it hovers around 35-40F/

4:23 am

rubyfoo

My sister is 6 years older but has an infirm husband and is stuck with his care and caregivers

4:23 am

puglet

that would feel like spring here--lol

4:24 am

rubyfoo

the irises thought so, too, and are about 4 inches up. If we get a hard frost there'll be no flowers

4:24 am

puglet

that takes alot out of a person

4:25 am

puglet

I have alot of irises--ne4 to lilac they are my favorites

4:26 am

puglet

Ive been trying to find me a white iris but havent had any luck in finding one yet

4:26 am

rubyfoo

my friend Catherne gave me some pale lavender ones and some that are almost black about 3 years ago, but I've hardly had any flowers although they come up. Either the dogs chew them up or the weather doesn't cooperate.

4:27 am

rubyfoo

InPris, next to the Luxembourg Gardens, is a small plot of "ris garden" which I've nly seen once, but it must have 60 different kinds of ris It's gorgeous! You would faint

4:27 am

puglet

Ive got about five or six different colors

4:28 am

puglet

Oh that would be very pretty I bet---did you take pictures of it

4:29 am

rubyfoo

no, I only saw it once, years ago, and didn't have a camera

4:30 am

puglet

Are you pretty far from paris

4:31 am

rubyfoo

4 hrs by train, 6 by car

4:33 am

puglet

thats not too bad I guess if you dont mind traveling

4:33 am

puglet

I wish we had trains to travel by here

4:33 am

rubyfoo

I've gone a couple of times, but I can't leave Burt any more

4:34 am

puglet

I understand that! Are you not afraid to travel alone

4:35 am

rubyfoo

I don't like cities any more but when I was working, I travelled all over the place alone. Since 9/11 I'm afraid of flying and spooked by crowds and subways

4:36 am

puglet

I think alot of people are now -a-days

4:36 am

puglet

I know for myself I dont feel safe going into the bigger cities with all the crime that goes on

4:37 am

rubyfoo

I'm afraid too, not so much of crime but of terrorists and crowds bumping into me

4:38 am

puglet

do you not have a girlfriend that would go on outings with you

4:39 am

puglet

I get you there. Gangs and stuff like that have grown so much the last few years

4:39 am

rubyfoo

I go to the movies and out to lunch about once a month with my friend but, otherwise, it's too hard to leave old Burt

4:40 am

rubyfoo

the last time I took a train outside of London, a gang went running through the train, banging the seats and making a lot of noise. I was terrified

4:40 am

puglet

well thank goodness you get out at least then. That helps you to get a break from home life

4:40 am

puglet

oh my! I bet you were!

4:41 am

rubyfoo

we go to Annecy to the movies, about 15 minutes away. But the whole valley, with its many towns and villages, has a population of less than 150,000

4:42 am

puglet

How long have you lived there now Ruby

4:42 am

rubyfoo

since Nov '98

4:42 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, have to go. Mr. Burt is up de-icing the car!

4:42 am

rubyfoo

See you later, sweetie!

4:43 am

puglet

okay, bye Ruby

5:54 am

sprite

good morning all :)

5:55 am

sprite

or make that afternoon, oops

5:56 am

puglet

WOW! I thought you had ran away! lol good morning

5:57 am

sprite

hi pug, my darling, am so sorry. Late night, bit of a nasty waking and then it was hiccup time when I tried to log on, so I answered emails first.

5:59 am

sprite

I heard back from rose and it will be ok, dear pug. Don't worry too much. Just give her time to work through this. It was bound to happen.

5:59 am

puglet

NP,,sorry about the bad night---I thought I was going to lose you along with our Rose--cause you wont be here tomorrow

6:00 am

puglet

I do worry for her but as long as I see her lurking I know shes there

6:00 am

sprite

no, will go to the clinic tomorrow. But after that I'll be back in the mornings. Missed you too!

6:01 am

sprite

I know you worry, grin. Just try to not do it too much. Have faith in her strength and courage. She will pull through.

6:01 am

puglet

I got on late today too and missed most everyone and I havent seen OO lurking or on here either

6:02 am

sprite

he might still pop in.

6:02 am

puglet

They are going through a whole new like life and I get that. Will take many changes to (dont know what word to use)

6:03 am

sprite

those are the right words, I think, and you are right. Plus they have to digest all that has happened. Our rose even more than Don, with her mother dying and her physical ordeals. Time will help, and so will we.

6:05 am

puglet

so how is everything at your house

6:06 am

sprite

all good. Husband had a gout attack in his knee, of all places, but is walking again now. Kids are busy teenagers and enjoying themselves. And I am ok, with Terra at my feet and you in the chog.

6:07 am

puglet

Ive have been so bored the last few days :(---My friend Carol and her hubby was to come over the week end but due to weather thats out :(

6:08 am

Lizlin

Hi sprite and pugs - hugs :)

6:08 am

sprite

oh that stinks :( Such a bummer when you have looked forward to their company. And then us not present in chat too, so sorry!

6:09 am

puglet

Hi Liz--welcome back

6:09 am

sprite

hi Liz! *hugs* Have emailed you about the books, let me know if anything isn't clear.

6:09 am

Lizlin

Sorry that your friend didn't make it over this weekend, pugs.

6:10 am

crosshair

good morning everyone:)

6:10 am

puglet

thanks Liz

6:10 am

sprite

hey crossy :) *hug*

6:10 am

puglet

Hi Mr Crossy

6:10 am

Lizlin

Yes, thanks sprite. Just read the e mail - but will sort it tomorrow - a couple of glasses of wine tonight, as I told pugs, to celebrate one year an Aussie!

6:10 am

sprite

oh check out our icons... all animals here.

6:10 am

Lizlin

Hi Crossy.

6:11 am

Lizlin

That's funny sprite - hadn't noticed that before!

6:11 am

sprite

gratz on one year of Aussiedom, Liz! And don't worry, the books will keep. Indefinitely even. Whenever you feel like it, just use the link.

6:11 am

puglet

well I feel like a animal in a cage--lol

6:11 am

Lizlin

Really looking forward to it :)

6:12 am

sprite

*throws pug the key* Come on out and play with us.

6:12 am

Lizlin

Well I hope you get released soon, pugs. Saddens me to see animals in cages!

6:12 am

puglet

Is that the holiday Liz

6:12 am

Lizlin

You mean Australia Day?

6:12 am

puglet

yes

6:13 am

Lizlin

That's today but there's a public holiday tomorrow because it falls on a Sunday.

6:13 am

puglet

and whats it for

6:13 am

Lizlin

Australia day marks the landing of the first fleet (from the UK) in Australia on 26 Jan 1788.

6:13 am

sprite

and how is our crossy today? And his beloved Elegant?

6:14 am

crosshair

I am fine sprite and my beloved sends her best

6:14 am

Lizlin

A date I had to learn for my citizenship test!

6:14 am

Lizlin

Your turtle looks typically evil, crossy. I've bookmarked it!

6:14 am

sprite

good to hear, crossy. *hugs* to you both.

6:14 am

puglet

oh

6:15 am

crosshair

it is for pros only liz. it is deadly

6:15 am

puglet

Crossy, I was not able to find your sea turtle puzzle

6:15 am

sprite

crossy makes the most evil puzzles, lol

6:15 am

Lizlin

When I've time and am not tired I'll try it!

6:15 am

crosshair

try again,pugs. I made some adjustments yesterday and you should see it now

6:16 am

sprite

oh dear, it is in black and white! Even more evil.

6:16 am

puglet

okay---it was yesterday morn when I tried finding it

6:16 am

Lizlin

Yes, pugs. I found it today.

6:16 am

puglet

okay

6:16 am

crosshair

they are not all evil!! the R.M.S segwun and the farm pumphouse are very friendly

6:16 am

ivesy3

ra 6 plz and good morning all

6:17 am

sprite

good morning ivesy!

6:17 am

puglet

yes and the snow fence wasent too bad

6:17 am

puglet

Hi ivesy, how are you and winter

6:17 am

Lizlin

ra 6 is like the la 6 - meaning to fire off a rocket (the la 6) Ra 6 often has a y at the end.

6:17 am

sprite

don't have it yet, sorry ivesy

6:17 am

crosshair

mountain rive was also very nice but mountain stream in autumn took some work, as well as the 744

6:17 am

Lizlin

And good morning ivesy

6:18 am

sprite

ah, thanks Liz

6:18 am

Lizlin

yw!

6:18 am

sprite

the 744 was pretty ok for me. The mountain stream took a lot of work.

6:18 am

puglet

I done the jeep too and it seems to be the easiest

6:18 am

crosshair

the jeep and the turkeys were a special request by a babbler

6:19 am

Lizlin

I think mountain stream was the hardest followed probably by the turkeys!

6:19 am

Lizlin

744 was OK because the grid is so familiar. it helped because I changed the background colour.

6:20 am

puglet

Iam working on your eggs now Sprite

6:20 am

sprite

oh, they are fun, pug. At least I thought so when I worked it.

6:20 am

ivesy3

ty liz!

6:20 am

crosshair

I did not know about the ability to change the bg colour when I did the 744 and I will let you guess what colour my last puzzle piece was...

6:20 am

sprite

white!

6:20 am

Lizlin

White!

6:21 am

crosshair

bingo!

6:21 am

Lizlin

yw ivesy.

6:21 am

sprite

*giggles* Seems we have all been there and done that.

6:22 am

Lizlin

It amazes me the speed at which some people complete the puzzles!

6:22 am

sprite

this here looks like a tricky little grid, btw.

6:22 am

sprite

Where are all those words hiding?

6:22 am

puglet

yeah like Sprite!

6:23 am

Lizlin

I"ve stalled at 35 left! It's been pretty tough going. I probably won't find many more tonight, so will finish tomorrow.

6:23 am

puglet

it takes me hours and then I dont always get them

6:23 am

sprite

oh Liz, did you see that under my space puzzle someone went on a rant to complain about those quick people being cheaters? Don't know how he/she figures that. No way somebody cheats. They are just better than I am.

6:24 am

sprite

met a concrete wall at 48 IN!

6:24 am

puglet

yeah, how can you cheat on a puzzle?

6:24 am

Lizlin

How can anyone cheat at a puzzle. I think some people possible have larger screens, which would help. I think some people just manipulate the pieces faster or see colours and shapes faster.

6:25 am

crosshair

I think so and the ability to organize the pieces at the start

6:25 am

sprite

beats me. He is talking about manipulating the puzzle or hitting 'solve'. Nonsense if you ask me.

6:26 am

crosshair

as for an actual " cheat" I do not think so

6:26 am

puglet

I had an uncle that worked puzzle fast (real ones) He never sorted out edge pieces but worked right from the box

6:26 am

sprite

anyway, I thinkk some people have more practice and some are simply better. And yes, having a big screen helps. I often shrink the puzzle a little further than necessary and it makes solving (and organising) easier.

6:26 am

crosshair

with real ones, and jigidi, I always sort

6:27 am

puglet

me too--except for those under 20

6:27 am

sprite

yeah and organising your pieces is not cheating. That is just a technique to use. I always sort too. I want to have my frame before I go puzzling. Btw, I don't even want to be fast. Jigsaws are like meditation for me. Would hate to feel rushed.

6:27 am

crosshair

i do not play anything under 150

6:27 am

Lizlin

I've also added a comment sprite. I also shrink the puzzle to start and move the pieces in as I have fewer left and then expand the puzzle more and more.

6:27 am

sprite

I only work the huge ones.

6:28 am

Lizlin

I worked mimicats, though they were small because they were lovely photos and she's a babble friend!

6:28 am

Lizlin

Otherwise I also tend to work the larger ones.

6:28 am

puglet

I dont often but some I want to see the poem or whatever writing is on them and I cant see them unless I work them and enlarge them

6:29 am

crosshair

funny though,sprite, with the sea turtle, the game would not let me go higher than what it is currently set at. it maxed in the 200,s

6:29 am

Lizlin

I think it depends on the resolution of the pic, crossy.

6:29 am

crosshair

ahh

6:30 am

sprite

yes, I have noticed something similar with my puzzles, crossy. I think it depends on resolution and on ratio.

6:30 am

MimiCat

Liz--I think you can now access my 3 puzzles. I haven't gone back in to make them more difficult, so they're very easy and pretty pictures. They've all been my icons here in the past.

6:31 am

crosshair

and i have moved my poetry off of babble. for those interested, you may now find them on poetry.com

6:31 am

Lizlin

I did your 3 puzzles, mimi - I enjoyed them but usually do larger puzzles.

6:31 am

MimiCat

((crossy)) I still don't have the turtle...don't know why. I've refreshed more than once. Maybe I need to get out of it completely and come back?

6:31 am

puglet

under your name here Crossy

6:31 am

Lizlin

I left you messages after completing them, Mimi.

6:32 am

crosshair

yes,puglet and the ones on poetry.com are all my own

6:32 am

puglet

okay

6:32 am

crosshair

actually no,puglet,under my real name. just email me for info

6:32 am

MimiCat

I didn't know I could make them more complicated but crossy says I can so I'll try to do that at some point. I didn't get your messages, Liz...where did you leave them?

6:32 am

sprite

bookmarkd, crossy, thanks

6:32 am

Lizlin

Where it says "comment".

6:33 am

crosshair

since money and prizes can come from that site, i used my own name

6:33 am

puglet

Okay crossy

6:33 am

MimiCat

Ahhh--will look later, Liz. Thanks.

6:34 am

crosshair

yup many players offer their puzzles in easy and hard versions, mimi

6:34 am

puglet

Mimi, Crossy said he fixed the turtle puzzle. I too had trouble getting it

6:34 am

Lizlin

They are lovely pics, Mimi.

6:34 am

crosshair

yup the turtle is ready now

6:35 am

sprite

awesome, crossy, I like it. Bookmarked!

6:35 am

crosshair

i played yours, mimi. they are pretty

6:37 am

sprite

will add some later this week again. Wasn't in the mood to create new ones when battling the flu, but much better now.

6:38 am

Lizlin

Look forward to them!

6:38 am

puglet

I am too

6:39 am

crosshair

i will try to add one new on a week. have not travelled up on the mountain in a bit, but will fix that soon

6:39 am

Lizlin

OK off to my book. Rereading The Book Thief, having seen the film last week, which I enjoyed.

6:39 am

MimiCat

Great--I'll go back and try to get the turtle. I'm finding Mountain River a bit challenging...and you know I'm not much into challenges where my games/puzzles are concerned.

6:40 am

sprite

enjoy, Liz! *hugs* Have a lovely evening.

6:40 am

Lizlin

25 left for tomorrow. Hugs to all and enjoy your days :)

6:40 am

puglet

bye Liz, enjoy

6:41 am

Hi Teach

6:41 am

sprite

hi teach! Like you needed another one, right? :)

6:42 am

MimiCat

((Liz)) See you later...thanks for the comments..just looked.

6:42 am

MimiCat

Crossy---I now have the turtle! Yay! I think I can manage that one.

6:43 am

wvteach

thought this one was enough - but can expand to add another

6:43 am

wvteach

6:43 am

sprite

glad you joined us there too, teach

6:44 am

crosshair

6:44 am

sprite

if you want to see mine, they are under spritelet

6:44 am

MimiCat

Teach, you've got to also try TheJigsawPuzzles.com...FABULOUS pictures with categories to choose from that are unique.

6:44 am

sprite

sprite was already taken :(

6:44 am

wvteach

mimi - had a harder time manuvering the pieces with that one

6:44 am

puglet

what kind does the Sprite person have on there or did you check

6:45 am

MimiCat

Gotta go for now and finish up some work. Back later. Hugs all around.

6:45 am

wvteach

will look sprite - thnx for letting us know - fun to do puzzles thsat u know the maker

6:45 am

crosshair

and secondary addictions are ok, wvteach because you never know when some mean person will cut you off of one:)). i try and juggle at least 5 addictions at a time:)

6:45 am

puglet

bye Mimi

6:45 am

sprite

6:46 am

crosshair

i am happy that crosshair was not taken:)

sprite and _sprite_ and spriteprincess and so on and so forth.

6:47 am

sprite

very nice, crossy. Always cool if you can use the handle you like best.

6:48 am

puglet

How did you come by using that handle Crossy, if you dont mind me asking

6:48 am

sprite

let me see, still working on a Dutch money puzzle, a puzzle with stars for Liz, and a fireworks puzzle.

6:48 am

MimiCat

BTW, crossy, it won't let me make my puzzles more complex...must be that issue with picture resolution.

6:50 am

crosshair

:((

6:52 am

sprite

ok, duty calls here, must be off for now. *hugs*. Have a blessed day and a peaceful night.

6:52 am

MimiCat

Sprite, going to try your Christmas Stars smaller puzzle...looks like it would be a lot of fun to do.

6:52 am

crosshair

it stems from a nickname i was given long ago when i was a member of a gun club. It recognized my skill with a scoped rifle and the crosshairs used to aim with. not as pretty as a angry bunny rabbit but that is the story

6:52 am

puglet

bye Sprite--hugs

6:52 am

sprite

I have a couple of puzzles in smaller size, mimicat. Have fun with them.

6:53 am

puglet

Interesting Crossy---thanks for sharing that

and now it is time for crossy's poem of the day (this one is dedicated to my son)

2:42 pm

crosshair

Sundays too
my father got up early
and put his clothes on in the blue black cold,
then with cracked hands that ached
from labor in the weekday weather made
banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.

I'd wake and hear the
cold splintering, breaking.
When the rooms were warm, he'd call,
and slowly I would rise and dress,
fearing the chronic angers of that house,

Speaking indifferently
to him,
who had driven out the cold
and polished my good shoes as well.
What did I know, what did I know
of love's austere and lonely offices? - Robert hayden

hego

Hi RB

3:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No- my velvet underground, Lou and Nico.

3:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

That's good to know Hego- I feel like a slug.

3:35 pm

RoundBarn

that was a joke to Kaplan. Hi, Nef, I Hi /crissie--yes, I'd like to see your won compositions Crossie. You have my enmail.

3:35 pm

Nef

hi Kap. I took some recycling out to the bin; does that count? (oh, and have shoveled paths for the dog several times too)

3:35 pm

crosshair

ahh ole Nate hawthorne indeed

3:35 pm

MollyL

Oh no, here we go with is the cat inside or outside the box. That one makes my head hurt.

3:36 pm

hego

In this weather, hibernating is the thing.

3:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, my cats are in and out of the boxes. Molly, Allison Sweeney is leaving Days of Our Lives this year, fyi.

3:36 pm

RoundBarn

well kap said she hadn't been outsiee the box--if it's like the pb, it could be stocked

3:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sammi Brady- care to audition?

3:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I was in the PB this morning I think.

3:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lou and Nico think I am their mommy.

3:38 pm

RoundBarn

that's right--i was on when you gae us all thiose super clues and a few false leads. great!

3:38 pm

hego

does that count?

3:38 pm

MollyL

Wait, that was SchrÃ¶dinger's cat.

3:38 pm

Nef

I think I end up in the PB probably once a day myself. Thank goodness it gets stocked so much

3:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, that was fun of me.

3:38 pm

RoundBarn

schrodieger, heidiger--what's the diff?

3:38 pm

crosshair

i will send you a few samples, RB

3:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Can you get fat in a virtual penalty box?

3:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Did Husserl have a cat?

3:39 pm

hego

virtual fat

3:39 pm

hego

hard to lose

3:39 pm

RoundBarn

thanks crossie--i enjoy, not tear apart.

3:40 pm

Nef

not as hard as real fat though hego

3:41 pm

MollyL

It's easier to talk about The Minister's Cat

3:46 pm

Soodle

The Minister? His cat? I think I better go to bed. I've lost the plot. :-(

3:47 pm

hego

Pay attention!1

3:47 pm

crosshair

that is well,RB,they are delicate at best. They may not stand up to harsh light:)) they are on the way to your in box in 2 minutes

3:51 pm

Soodle

Heading bedward, confused. Luckily, thats my default these days, so I expect to sleep like a baby. (I.e. Nod off to sleep & wake up screeching about 3.00 am)! Good night all.

3:51 pm

Nef

Good Night, Soodle. Sleep well

3:51 pm

hego

Nitey nite Soodle.

3:53 pm

Nef

Could someone explain why "swede" is a word but "dane" isn't?

3:54 pm

hego

have often wondered

3:55 pm

crosshair

ok Roundbarn, i THINK it may be in your in-box now. had some difficulty

3:58 pm

lynxxx

Good morning all

3:58 pm

o-o

Enable only accepts words that are in its dictionary:

TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED
Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign {words that are not in the Enable Dictionary.}

This issue is not whether dane is a word. It may well be a word. It is not, however, in the Enable Dictionary.

3:58 pm

MollyL

The Minister's Cat is a Victorian parlor game. It's featured in the film Scrooge (the musical)

3:58 pm

RoundBarn

nef, a swede is a ppor cousin of a squash in England. but a dam ne-we ught to have a dof be ok

3:58 pm

lynxxx

swede is a vegetable Nef

3:59 pm

Nef

half way and I can't see anymore words. :-(

3:59 pm

hego

Aha! Lynn has the explanation.

3:59 pm

MollyL

So it's only a word if they say it's a word. Neener, neener.

4:00 pm

lynxxx

apparently a swedish turnip - hence swede I guess

4:00 pm

RoundBarn

hey I did too--even though my entry was badly misspelled

4:00 pm

o-o

No. The the Help section spells it out, so to speak.

4:00 pm

hego

sorry RB, didn't see yours.

4:01 pm

crosshair

ahh, the mysteries of Enable

4:01 pm

Nef

Wow. I didn't think I'd get so many responses to that. What smart people there are here

4:01 pm

o-o

All the exceptions are superfluous if in the dictionary

4:01 pm

hego

Yes 0-0, but the qquestion is why are some words not in that dictionary when thay are in all the others?

4:02 pm

lynxxx

I remember as Mum used to put turnip and swede in her pasties and in her soups - I hate them both

4:02 pm

Nef

the dictionary rules all. (I just wish it was updated a bit)

4:02 pm

RoundBarn

when I ordered swede in England the first time I was there, at age 22 or 3, what a disappointment. Pale, watery, tasteless. But I found other thijhgs surprisingly good.)

4:03 pm

Nef

how does a swede differ from a turnip? (I love turnips)

4:03 pm

hego

Done and must go. Bye All.

4:03 pm

lynxxx

Its just another type of turnip Nef

4:04 pm

lynxxx

bye Hego

4:04 pm

MollyL

The Enable Word List has not been updated in 14 years. That may explain it.

4:04 pm

o-o

I have no answer, hego, other that the caprice of the Enable word compilers. I like Enable because it is so endearing.

4:04 pm

o-o

other than

4:04 pm

Nef

YAY, hego!!! WTG!!! bye hego.

4:05 pm

Nef

oh-oh. Natural gas pipeline broke south of Winnepeg. Not good news in this weather! :-(

4:05 pm

lynxxx

endearing?! maybe capricious

4:06 pm

Nef

lynxxx, does it taste or look different than the others?

4:06 pm

o-o

Wow ... not so far from Winnipeg

4:07 pm

lynxxx

I can't answer that Nef - too long ago. I avoid them both much to my husbands annoyance

4:07 pm

Nef

NM, lynxxx, I just Googled it. It's a rutabaga to me

4:09 pm

lynxxx

Guess its just swede in England...and most of our 'language' here stems from England

4:09 pm

RoundBarn

crossie, nothing has showed up (shown up?) on my email, do you have it right? jjack1@uis.edu

4:10 pm

bichon

Good evening folks

4:11 pm

lynxxx

hi Bichon

4:11 pm

Nef

I'm listening to MPR, o-o.

4:11 pm

bichon

Isn't a swede a rutabaga?

4:12 pm

lynxxx

yes - that's what Nef just found out

4:12 pm

rururocks

parnips it might be

4:12 pm

rururocks

or.. er.. perhaps

4:12 pm

RoundBarn

maybe a version of a rutabega--not as strong. Do we even grow swedes in the midwest? anywhere this side of the atlantic?

4:13 pm

bichon

ou 6, pls

4:13 pm

lynxxx

no - parsnips (another horrid root vegetable) are conical like carrots - swede is round

4:13 pm

bichon

I like parsnips in soup

4:14 pm

RoundBarn

parsnips are a much underappreciated vegetable. Fixed right, they are delicious. Far better than the ubiqitoud cartrot.

4:14 pm

Nef

bichon, won the race

4:14 pm

lynxxx

out - gout to the finishing line first

4:14 pm

lynxxx

gout - got

4:15 pm

bichon

I liked gout, but ty

4:16 pm

bichon

But I wouldn't want gout

4:16 pm

RoundBarn

I can't spell, I'm quitting and back to work. Just dsas a bunch of scary food movies. We're feeding our children useless food in their school cafeterias--but I'll quit on that topic.

4:17 pm

Nef

I agree with you about parsnips too, RB. With any of those root veggies, they are great if prepared right

4:17 pm

lynxxx

feed those kids turnips and swedes! Bye Roundbarn

4:18 pm

rururocks

I love parsnips

4:20 pm

RoundBarn

lynxx, we'll have to meet on different ground. List your subjects, I can pick a mutual one. But not now--back to work.

4:20 pm

lynxxx

ch5.16 another vegetable we call something else down here - silverbeet to us

4:20 pm

Nef

BBL, I'm not seeing any word now and need to take a break

4:20 pm

lynxxx

That comment was very tongue in cheek Roundbarn

4:23 pm

RoundBarn

I realize it, Lynxx--and ch5 is very good--my daughter grew lush gardens of it. By, nef, Lynxx, all--and Crossie I musr email and tell him I never got his pomes.

4:24 pm

crosshair

let me know if you received my e-mail RB. i have a funny feeling i may of missed the mark.

4:24 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I had someone from a gallery supposed to come this morning and I waited 4 hours, so he rescheduled and now I fear he's not coming. This is what happens when you get vain enough to try to deal with galleries. Small-time.

4:25 pm

crosshair

will send it again rb

4:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The documentary of American Masters on JD Salinger made me really mad. Just read the man's work! Damn stalkers!

4:27 pm

crosshair

there. think that did it that time,RB

4:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I cringed when I saw Joyce Maynard.

4:27 pm

bichon

Joyce Maynard not one of my favorite people

4:27 pm

eieios

Clues for the 7s?

4:28 pm

Kaplan the Magne

He would have hated this film which could only have got made after he died.

4:28 pm

bichon

For those who want more info on ENABLE:

Nor I. His son Matt was notably not part of it.

4:29 pm

crosshair

after fighting with the thing for almost six year, i think i know just about all i want to know of Enable :))

4:30 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Joyce Maynard's mother who sent her 18 year old off on a bus in a hand sewed minidress to go live with Salinger

4:30 pm

lynxxx

da6.24 is the angels trumpet plant

4:31 pm

bichon

ty lyn

4:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Anyway, the only good thing is that their will be more works released slowly between 2015 and 2020, that deal with his war experiences, early marriage, a Glass and Caulfield family chronology.

4:31 pm

bichon

That's one of the reasons I don't like her, the Salinger link

4:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

For those who care. But no more stalking tell-all movies. My husband wanted to watch it, and told me that I couldn't talk and swear at it the whole time.

4:32 pm

lynxxx

Like your Spanish Vacation ones Kap

4:33 pm

MollyL

Well what fun is that?

4:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have read every word he has published innumerable times since I was 12, and I know all I need to know, especially from his struggle with Seymour- an Introduction.

4:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Spaniah vacation ones- a long time ago.

4:34 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Thank you though.

4:35 pm

rururocks

<---liked Catcher in the Rye

4:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

There's the Bradys nd the Hortons- but there's really the Caulfields and the Glasses.

4:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Catcher was the beginning.

4:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Of fame.

4:35 pm

rururocks

Thought that was the Bradys and the Mannings ?

4:36 pm

o-o

does a catcher in the rye need a mitt?

4:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No, the Hatfiields and the McCoys.

4:36 pm

rururocks

ha

4:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And the Ricardos and the Mertzes.

4:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

For Molly- every time you eat pastrami, pile the cold cuts high

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

othewise you'll see salami comin through the rye.

4:37 pm

rururocks

would you call it a grain slam for a homerun then?

4:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Customers should see salami Comin through the rye, that is.

4:38 pm

Kramdens and the Nortons

i cannot believe I missed that ga6 ty molly

5:01 pm

MollyL

It's a twisty one

5:02 pm

72 Temple Owl

and i watched the salinger doc. the stalking would not be odd today, but back then it was.

5:02 pm

bichon

ty Molly

5:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

can someone pls tell me if the grammys are on yetand wear?

5:08 pm

MollyL

Regular show is 8PM on CBS/Eastern Standard Time. Don't know about the red carpet stuff.

5:09 pm

72 Temple Owl

thanks, molly. the roots stuff was this afternoon. cj chenier accept a posthumous award for his father clifton, the father of zydeco.

5:11 pm

rururocks

what's the stalking thing?

5:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

well, folks would try to meet salinger because they considered him a guru of sorts.

5:20 pm

rururocks

well.. he was a recluse thought wasn't he

5:20 pm

MollyL

Being overly interested in the personal life of someone you do not know...I've never quite understood that. Must be a habit of the lonely.

5:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, he was.

5:23 pm

rururocks

well.. he was a celebrity of his time wasn't he?

5:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

he was an author. the cult of celebrity was not established as it is today.

5:26 pm

crosshair

sometimes it is best not to know the real person behind the writer or the actor anyways

5:27 pm

rururocks

well. Steven King I would never want to meet. although calling him an author is a slam to other writers

5:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

is molly still here?

5:29 pm

crosshair

lol, ruru, he must have some redeeming value as a author?

5:29 pm

crosshair

but then again, it has now gotten to such a point he could publish his shopping list at the grocers and sell a million copies

5:33 pm

MollyL

A lot of people say that about Stephen King. They've never read his good stuff.

5:38 pm

rururocks

what would his good stuff be?

5:38 pm

rururocks

I really don't know.. I have read a couple.. they all pretty much seem to me to be the same thing.

5:39 pm

MollyL

The Shawshank Redemption is one of them.

5:39 pm

rururocks

oh well. I did like that.. that was a great movie

5:40 pm

MollyL

It's an even better story. From the same book of stories that "The Body" comes from, which was the basis for the movie "Stand By Me".

5:41 pm

rururocks

ok.. I retract that statement.

5:42 pm

MollyL

King is a lot better when he backs away from the scary stuff and gets into relationships.

5:43 pm

MollyL

His book "On Writing" (non-fiction) is excellent for anyone who is interested in honing their writing skills.

5:49 pm

lil*monkey

Just jumping in for a minute to say King's book "Dolores Claiborne" is incredible

5:52 pm

rururocks

oh he wrote that too?

5:52 pm

rururocks

Ok.. i'm really stupid now.. loved that movie too

5:52 pm

MollyL

That is another one that is less about "horror" and more about the dark side of the human personality.

5:52 pm

lil*monkey

Yes! Intense story about a difficult mother-daughter relationship

5:52 pm

rururocks

I thought he just did horror stuff

5:53 pm

rururocks

Kathy Bates best movie ever.

5:53 pm

Kathy Bates was great in that movie, and in Misery.

molly, did you see that clifton chenier got a lifetijme grammy award? that puts zydeco right up there with michael jackson and other music greats

7:10 pm

Hi mimi!! I am freezing tonight, I suppose you are cozy warm...

7:26 pm

MimiCat

Not to rub it in, Jilly, but it has been in the upper 70's here during the day. Too soon, however, it will be like living in a sauna.

7:27 pm

Jillyjill

And if we don't get some snow I dread the fire season Snow level a good 2000 ft higher than it should be...

7:27 pm

7:33 pm

MimiCat

BTW, Jilly, was hoping my thyroid tests would come back telling me I needed Synthroid...but no luck there...turns out I'm just FAT!! Am really exploring options and right now drinking lots of jasmine tea for the pro-biotics and going to order a highly rated "green drink." I HATE this weight gain...it's like being Siamese twins with someone you HATE.

7:33 pm

Gladly will go to the PB, TO...always a party there!

Sorry. Mimi I loved your comparison to ..... I have no idea what happend to the first part

7:37 pm

MimiCat

I said that carrying around this extra weight is like being a Siamese twin with someone you hate, Bugs.

7:38 pm

Bugsaw

and I loved that! I have the same person hanging on me

7:39 pm

MollyL

I'll let Jill address this because she is the medical person, but don't some heart medications slow down your metabolism?

7:39 pm

MimiCat

Bugs, I didn't even have a good time gaining the weight! Until 4 years ago I was 123 lbs. and my daughter was giving me the jeans she could no longer fit into---she's 35 yrs. younger! Oh, I want that back. Gravity is no longer my friend. (Excuse me while I pick up my boobs so I won't trip while waking across the room.)

7:41 pm

MimiCat

Thank you, Molly, but I'm on minimal medication now and most the weight happened before the heart attack. But I appreciate you trying! Apparently, my metabolism has come to a dead STOP. It's like being held hostage by the giant marshmallow man from Ghostbusters...and he won't let me out!

7:41 pm

Jillyjill

It's called furniture disease mimi.....you know...chest in your drawers

7:41 pm

Bugsaw

I used to be able to put on take off weight all the time but after menopause it just goes on and stays there. Even when I broke my ankle, ate only twice a day and hardly much at all, I only lost 5 pounds which is probably the atrophied muscles.

7:42 pm

MimiCat

LOL, Jilly! In my case it's almost chest in my ankles.

7:42 pm

Bugsaw

love that term Jilli

7:42 pm

MollyL

What Bugs just said. Post menopause is something else that messes with your metabolism. Apparently, estrogen is our friend.

Well, for me, I have learned that simple carbs are not my friend...and I miss them so much!

waves to PIni!

7:44 pm

Pinikula

hiya bugs! :o)

7:44 pm

MimiCat

I'm determined to remedy this..can't stand it anymore. It affects EVERYTHING in your life. Wish I could afford liposuction...but I know that's a bad choice. I'm not on hormone replacement at all but convinced I should be. I had no insurance and no money for so long that I had no choice. Now I'm going to do something about it.

7:44 pm

Jillyjill

Hi pini!!

7:44 pm

Pinikula

hey JJ :o)

7:45 pm

Pinikula

I've been trying to figure out how to lose some weight since...if nothing else in the hopes the "ladies" will lose weight, too....

7:45 pm

MimiCat

Does anyone else get EXTREMELY hot while sleeping? Honestly, I have a huge fan on me all the time. Good thing there isn't a man in my life because it would be really embarrassing.

7:46 pm

Pinikula

I'm with you, MC...I have a fan on in my room (if nothing else, just to circulate aire - evening during the winter months)...

7:47 pm

MimiCat

I went on that Garcinia Cambogia and, oddly enough, had a relapse of my atrial fibrillation about 3 weeks into it, though I was off all medication and stable for many months before. Coincidence?

7:48 pm

Pinikula

...sometimes when I get warm, I roll to my stomach, flip the covers, and start kicking to cause a closer breeze...

7:48 pm

MollyL

Hi Pini. I sleep with a fan on most of the year, but not when it's this cold.

7:48 pm

Jillyjill

Mine sleeping thing is worst, need heating blanket on to go to bed, then hubby takes the blanket off me when he comes to bed so I don't overheat later.

7:48 pm

Pinikula

(EGADS, I just remembered, my bunkmate is here....oh, so embarassing if I did that on our trip!!!!) *blush*

7:48 pm

MimiCat

I will say that CoQ10 has helped my energy level extremely well. I take 200 mg a day. It's supposed to help the heart.

7:49 pm

Jillyjill

*has visual of pini sleeping*

7:49 pm

Pinikula

hey, molly :o)

7:49 pm

Pinikula

...trust me, JJ...it doesn't last long, cuz sleeping on the girls just aint that comfortable...

7:49 pm

Bugsaw

if you did that on the trip Pini, I appreciated it :)

Jilly, I so envy women whose husbands actually are mindful of their needs. I never had that experience in 23 years of marriage.

7:50 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT teach!!

7:50 pm

Bugsaw

Yay teach

7:53 pm

MimiCat

You're right, Jilly, carbs are the enemy. I'm verging on diabetes right now and know that if I could lose weight and get on track with eliminating carbs, I'd be OK. Really hard to do...love pasta and potatoes.

7:54 pm

MimiCat

I know vegans have a tendency to stay thin, but I'd lose the will to live if I had to give up cheese!

7:54 pm

rururocks

Queso drama !

7:55 pm

MimiCat

((ruru)) you have no idea...as men age they become distinguished...we become hags. Not fair.

7:55 pm

o-o

Doc told me to lose weight ... so I hid a barbell.

7:55 pm

MimiCat

ROFL, o-o!

7:55 pm

Nef

hi again. So nice to see so many old friends! ;-)

7:56 pm

MimiCat

Nef, dear---good to see you!

7:56 pm

MollyL

I would have to lose my enjoyment of eating and be okay with being bored out of my mind if all I ate was fruit and vegetables.

7:56 pm

Jillyjill

Hi there nef...jump on in!!

7:56 pm

Pinikula

hi ru, o, nef... :)

7:56 pm

rururocks

better distinquished than extinguished I've always said

7:56 pm

Bugsaw

hello friends!

7:57 pm

Nef

(We sound like we are all in the same boat; at *that certain* age!

7:57 pm

MimiCat

There 'ya go, Molly!

7:57 pm

rururocks

you know what they say molly.. an apple a day :D

7:57 pm

Pinikula

(brb)

7:57 pm

MollyL

Oh trust me, all men do not age in a distinguished way.

7:57 pm

MimiCat

And that boat seems to be the Titanic, Nef....

7:57 pm

rururocks

<---desperately trying to look distinguished

7:58 pm

Nef

I don't think so, mimi. I'm picturing a huge old sail boat and a full moon as we sail off into the sunset......

7:58 pm

MimiCat

I've resigned myself to the fact that my looks are gone and I must now settle for being colorful.

7:59 pm

MimiCat

Good for you, Nef---I'm sinking like a stone...must be the added weight...

7:59 pm

rururocks

that reminds me of a very funny joke molly

7:59 pm

MollyL

Notice Nef said a HUGE sail boat. : D

7:59 pm

Jillyjill

ou6 plz

7:59 pm

MimiCat

Funny, Molly!

7:59 pm

rururocks

I noticed MOON

8:00 pm

rururocks

not in + not walk

8:00 pm

Nef

How much did you gain, mimi? I've been going to Weight Watchers for a year now; lost 30 lbs; but put 9 back on in the past 2 months(and it took forever to lose it before!)

8:01 pm

rururocks

I've lost 15 pounds but gained back 4.. now working on eliminating those pounds

8:01 pm

Jillyjill

ty ruru dear, thought I had tried that one...

8:01 pm

MimiCat

Great clue, ruru.

8:03 pm

MimiCat

I'm embarrassed to even say, Nef...it's that bad. And my diet isn't even that bad. I was 123 lbs. into my 50s and then, boom...weight...makes no sense. I was still active (sang with a classic rock band until about 3 years ago) and had lots of boy toys coming after me. These days would have to settle for stationary Legos.....

8:03 pm

Nef

I try not to be a stress eater; but man! I blew it over the last 2 months

8:04 pm

Nef

Mimi, maybe you stayed slim being chased by the boy toys?

8:04 pm

72 Temple Owl

:D

8:04 pm

MimiCat

That's the weird thing...I DON'T eat as a comfort at all and keep no "snacks" in the house. I'm really perplexed at how this happened.

8:04 pm

Jillyjill

Dear God molly, watching the beginning of the grammies..

8:05 pm

Jillyjill

brb

8:05 pm

MimiCat

Yeah, Nef, maybe---but I didn't actually run that fast. Had to beat them off with a stick..but it was a small stick...and I wasn't that committed to it!

8:05 pm

MollyL

You were warned. This is what passes for music these days.

8:05 pm

72 Temple Owl

jilly: google the lyrics.

8:05 pm

Nef

Mimi, I don't have snacks or junk food in our house either.

8:06 pm

Jillyjill

brings a whole new meaning to surfboard....

8:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

ROFL

8:06 pm

MollyL

Stick with it for the new kid, Hunter Hayes. He's an up and comer.

8:06 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone!

8:06 pm

72 Temple Owl

I am lucky i was not drinking anything jilly!

8:07 pm

MimiCat

My youngest grandson is showing strong signs of musical appreciation...oh, boy...loving that. He got that from ME!

8:07 pm

MimiCat

OK, Jilly, I'm lost...I don't have cable...what is the surfboard reference?

8:07 pm

MimiCat

Hi, dawg!

8:08 pm

MimiCat

Yes, Molly, LOVE Hunter Hayes. And Kacey Musgraves is a good new one as well. So is Civil Wars.

8:08 pm

Nef

hi lbd

8:10 pm

lbdawger

hi mimi, hi nef

8:10 pm

MimiCat

I could talk music FOREVER...so will not burden the chog with that. Need to go and have dinner. Great discussion, everyone! Hugs all around.

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

i saw civil wars. i love kacey

8:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

and there is another female country s/s but i cannot remember her name

8:11 pm

MimiCat

You are obviously a woman of taste, TO! My daughter turned me on to Civil Wars and I turned her on to Kacey...we've always done that with music.

8:12 pm

Jillyjill

hi dawg!

8:12 pm

MimiCat

Not sure all of you know that I'm classically trained in voice but love nothing better than belting out classic rock...can just feel my vocal coach rolling over in her grave....

8:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am struggling to find that other name, better than kacey

8:15 pm

MimiCat

The new "country" artists are the best---most of the real poetry lyrics now come from that genre. I am a big Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt, Karla Bonoff fan....as I said, could go on and on.....

8:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

brandy clark@ and holly willima si great , too

8:15 pm

lbdawger

hi jilly

8:16 pm

MimiCat

Had not heard of them, TO---thanks!

8:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

check out 2013 women of country on NPR.org

8:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

and if you liek civil wars, you may like lone bellow

8:18 pm

MimiCat

The sister in Civil Wars reminds me so much of Allison Krause who has one of the most haunting voices I've every heard.

8:18 pm

MimiCat

It takes REAL talent to be that subtle.

8:19 pm

72 Temple Owl

do you also like lumineers?

8:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

allsion krause is just indescribable

8:20 pm

MimiCat

Like Norah Jones...simple and beautiful. Love Diana Krall as well...with the classic songs. Did you know she is married to Elvis Costello?

8:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. i love him.

8:21 pm

MimiCat

Used to adore Vince Gill but don't hear him much anymore. There's also a song by Diamond Rio called "One More Day" that is one of the most touchingly beautiful I've every heard.

8:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

have you heard norah jones and billie joe armstrongs tribute to phil everly?

8:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am not a fan of commercial country. i like my music more stripeed down - roots

8:23 pm

MimiCat

No, TO---I'll now be all over that!

8:23 pm

MimiCat

TO, you MUST listen to Little Big Town and Lady Antebellum...the harmony is incredible.

8:23 pm

welki

'evening, all

8:24 pm

MimiCat

Welki!!!

8:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have herd them. hi welk! did you see my fb post about clifton chenier's grammy?

8:24 pm

Jillyjill

hi there welki!

8:25 pm

welki

i did - and replied. thought i'd be able to see the presentation tonight, checked to see if i missed it - found out it had been given to his son yesterday

8:25 pm

MimiCat

The songs I sang on stage were a combo of Linda Ronstadt, Heart, Pat Benatar, Trisha Yearwood...and more...mixed it up pretty good!

8:26 pm

lbdawger

hi welki

8:26 pm

welki

hi neighbors!

8:26 pm

MimiCat

Personally, I think Martina McBride has the best vocal range and tone I have EVER heard...including Streisand.

8:26 pm

MollyL

I don't get the fascination with Lorde and "Royals"

8:27 pm

MimiCat

And for my money, Garth Brooks is the best entertainer who ever has been or ever could be.

8:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

her worl ethic is incredible and she put on one of the BEST shows we have ever had at our festical, across all categories. Nice person, too.

8:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

molly, i think it is because she is so young and the ever present backlash against the nouveau riche of rap and hip hop

8:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. not newsworthy enough, welk. BTW i received a whole slew of real mardi gras photos from my LA friend last night. i hope you get to meet him.

8:31 pm

MimiCat

Wasn't I leaving? OK---really going now. Great discussion, though....love talking music. Hugs all around.

8:31 pm

Jillyjill

8:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

8:47 pm

welki

she does take a little getting used to *lol*

8:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

I cannot sing in chog; i cannot make notes like Molly can :(

8:49 pm

welki

if you have a windows based laptop/pc, i think there are alt/ctl keys to use. otherwise, you can always cut and paste

8:50 pm

welki

â™«â™ªÂ¸Â¸.â€¢*Â¨*â€¢â™«â™ªÂ¸Â¸.â€¢*Â¨\n*â€¢â™«â™ª

shorten it, or you'll get that pesky \n

8:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

how did you do that?

8:52 pm

welki

â™«â™ªÂ¸Â¸.â€¢*Â¨*â€¢â™«â™ª

just highlight the notes, copy and paste

8:52 pm

Nef

8:52 pm

or, better yet, ask molly for the keys to choose - i use a mac, and don't know the commands for notes

8:52 pm

welki

or, better yet, ask molly for the keys to choose - i use a mac, and don't know the commands for notes
