Good day - nothing special but still good.

2:04 am

puglet

its 3am here so my day is just starting really

2:04 am

VolleymomDee

many hugs ttfn!!

2:04 am

Lizlin

Well - I realise that from the time in the chog - so I guess I'm talking about yesterday for you.

2:06 am

puglet

it was okay--bored though after housework was done--lol

2:06 am

Lizlin

That's tough. Nothing on jigidi today? I've put up a few new puzzles.

2:07 am

Lizlin

One is of a water dragon eating a mango!

2:07 am

puglet

I will have to check em out then. Havent been there for a couple of days

2:07 am

Lizlin

I looked at doing a composite of the animals but it didn't work.

2:08 am

puglet

why not

2:08 am

Lizlin

Too much detail was lost by making them small and some of the colours just seemed dull.

2:09 am

Lizlin

I might add a couple more tomorrow but I've done my 4 for the next 24 hours!

2:10 am

puglet

Iam sure you will figure out something -lol

2:11 am

Lizlin

Perhaps!

2:11 am

Lizlin

onto

2:11 am

Lizlin

oops! Sorry!

2:11 am

puglet

can you make a composite with maybe just three pics? That way they could be a little larger

2:12 am

Lizlin

Could do - but I think I'm more likely just to put these on full size or I might do a composite of just kangas or koalas or water dragons.

2:13 am

puglet

that will be okay

2:16 am

Lizlin

There was this cutest joey - a young grey kanga - and it lay there while a water dragon climbed onto it and started sunbathing! I've put that in jigidi.

2:17 am

puglet

I cant wait to see that!

2:17 am

Lizlin

It's something we've never seen before!

2:18 am

puglet

are kangas friendly

2:19 am

Lizlin

These ones are. They are very used to people. They sell Roo food and you can feed them. They take from your hand and are very gentle.

2:20 am

Lizlin

If they are standing on their hind legs, in the wild, that's an aggressive pose.

2:20 am

puglet

do you have wild ones near your home

2:21 am

Lizlin

We sometimes see them in the evenings, when we are driving around near here.

2:22 am

Lizlin

Our friend, who lives 5 mins away, often has them in his garden in the early morning and evening. He just lives a little bit further out of the town than we do.

2:22 am

Lizlin

BB very soon.

2:23 am

puglet

Okay Liz

2:27 am

Lizlin

Back!

2:27 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for co7 please?

2:28 am

Lizlin

Hi Flosey - sorry I'm very lacking in the 7s!

2:28 am

puglet

sorry Flosey I dont and wb Liz

2:29 am

flosey

hi Liz, ok, will post if I find it

2:29 am

Lizlin

Much appreciated!

2:30 am

Lizlin

Wow! Only away from the computer for a few minutes - came back and quickly found another 10 words! How weird!

2:30 am

Lizlin

No large ones though!

2:30 am

flosey

often happens, sometimes we need a break even if only a few minutes

2:31 am

Lizlin

i usually come and go, when i do the grid.

2:35 am

flosey

I really should get some sleep, another busy day tomorrow - daughter's hubby is flying home and will catch the float plane over to our island - daughter and grandson arrived today 1:30

2:35 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Flosey and have a wonderful time with family.

2:35 am

puglet

night Flosey and enjoy your family

2:36 am

flosey

ty Liz and pugs, it is great having them here

2:36 am

Lizlin

For them too, Flosey.

2:36 am

puglet

Rose is having connection trouble I think

2:36 am

flosey

oh dear, that is so frustrating

2:37 am

Lizlin

How aggravating for her.

2:37 am

flosey

poor Rose, has had far too much over the past year - time for things to start looking positive

2:38 am

puglet

you would think it would

2:38 am

Lizlin

Very true, Flosey.

2:38 am

Lizlin

Let's hope so for her.

puglet

how are you today

3:11 am

3:12 am

puglet

I knew it! Those sicky's at your group :(----Iam okay

3:13 am

sprite

3:13 am

puglet

those germs are covered over everything I bet!

3:14 am

puglet

next group meeting take a mask and a bottle of hand germ killer---lol.............Okay Sprite

3:14 am

sprite

yeah well normally people have enough resistance against them to stay healthy. Guess I wasn't that lucky.

3:15 am

puglet

yeah, but you were not a 100% when you went either

3:16 am

sprite

no that is true. Ah well, it is the way it is. Have a load of laundry to hang up and if I think I can manage, I need to take a shower. Enough work for the sick body for today :)

3:16 am

puglet

chicken soup, bedrest and plenty of fluids---got to start all over again--lol

3:17 am

puglet

thats about my plans too for the day

3:17 am

sprite

3:17 am

sprite

sounds good, pug.

3:18 am

puglet

I done aload of blankets yesterday and he started up about it and I cut him off and said I dont want one more word about me and what I need to do

3:19 am

sprite

wooooooot! I bet he was shocked into silence.

3:19 am

puglet

send you to Rose and you two can bunk up in her new room and keep each other company-lol

3:19 am

sprite

am so so so proud of you, pug

3:19 am

puglet

well he went off cussing but that was it

3:20 am

sprite

lol that would be so great. Distance is a drag.

3:20 am

sprite

very good, pug. You do so well with standing up for yourself.

3:21 am

rubyfoo

3:21 am

sprite

morning ruby

3:21 am

puglet

GOOD MORNING RUBY

3:22 am

rubyfoo

Burt just had another great-grandchild in NY , named Ruby!!!, and he is totally indifferent. I think the name is just a coincidence since his granddaughter and he are seriously estranged, but it makes me smile

3:22 am

puglet

I think Rose has connection trouble this morning. I went for coffee and seen her on when I came back and Dee had spoke to her as well as I and she didnt come back nor was she lurking

3:22 am

rubyfoo

The two names which carry on in his family ar Rose and, now, Ruby. Very nice! The other two great-grands are names Milo and Iyla (yuck)

3:23 am

sprite

aw that is so sweet, ruby. Too bad Burt doesn't process that info anymore. But welcome to the world, little one, and may you be4 the name proudly.

3:23 am

puglet

did you get pics of little Ruby

3:24 am

rubyfoo

speaking of be***, Burt is in that kind of mood this AM

3:24 am

rubyfoo

grrr

3:24 am

rubyfoo

not yet, she was just born yesterday

3:25 am

sprite

she said so in her email too, pug. Don't worry, it is just the connection playing up.

3:26 am

puglet

I bet shes upset about that--poor Rose

3:26 am

puglet

Ruby is lyla pronounce as Lila?

3:27 am

sprite

or Eelee-ah

3:27 am

rubyfoo

pronounced Eyela, a terrible name. She'll go through her whole like having people mispronounce her name

3:28 am

rubyfoo

If you see Madame Rose, please send her a hug from me. Dealing with Mr. Ruby has been a trial these last couple of days

3:28 am

puglet

well Ive seen worse na;mes

3:28 am

rubyfoo

not many, lol!

3:28 am

sprite

will do, ruby

3:31 am

puglet

you still having wet and muddy dogs Ruby

3:33 am

puglet

we are suppose to see 43 temps today :)...that will feel like spring--of course snow and rain is coming too--lol

3:34 am

rubyfoo

no, they are dry now and I've been combing them every day. Spent 2 hrs last night and removed enough fur to knit a medium-size dog!

3:34 am

puglet

make you a doghair fill pillow-lol

3:35 am

sprite

lol there are people who actually make stuff from it, ruby

3:35 am

rubyfoo

that is a big uck!

3:35 am

sprite

I couldn't agree more. Argh, the smell alone!

3:35 am

rubyfoo

I knew somebody who did that but, although their fur is long and soft, it is still pretty stinky

3:36 am

puglet

as much as my pug sheads I could have a store of pillows

3:36 am

rubyfoo

which one, pugs?

annapooh the pug----the others dont shead nothing like her

3:37 am

puglet

I dont think Iam spelling that right am I/

3:37 am

rubyfoo

Isn't her fur short? I picture pug as being small and clean

3:38 am

sprite

shed, pug. But we understood it fine either way.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

not like my big stinkies lol

3:38 am

puglet

she has short hair(about a inch long) but she sheads all the time--even brushing helps little

3:39 am

rubyfoo

Raffies fur is about 4 in long. If not for her black, stinky, wet neck, she'd be really beautiful

3:40 am

rubyfoo

Rufie has straight, stiff hair, and sparkles in the sunlight

3:40 am

puglet

Thank you Sprite----I read on the internet that pugs of the color I have sheds like that where the other colors dont----so I got the luck color one--lol

3:40 am

sprite

lol lucky you!

3:40 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know they came in other colors

3:41 am

sprite

rufie is lovely for sure. Haven't seen raffie for real yet.

3:42 am

puglet

she has like a double coat like a husky dog----yes ruby--white, black, brindle, apricot and blonde

3:42 am

rubyfoo

I wish there was a dog park where we could take our lovely dogs and sit together on a bench and laugh!

3:43 am

sprite

wouldn't that be something!

3:43 am

rubyfoo

Raffie has a triple coat! When you pet her, it feels like your hand is in a pillow

3:43 am

puglet

snuggling fur!

3:45 am

rubyfoo

I have to go. Burt's old Fr teacher is coming to see me. He'll have a fit,but he can go and hide upstairs!

3:53 am

puglet

3:54 am

puglet

The blizzards they show on the news in ND must have missed you then OO, am glad for you

3:55 am

o-o

blizzards come and blizzards go

3:56 am

sprite

in the realms where lives o-o
blizzards come and blizzards go
people rant and rave and scowl
but o-o weathers them all

3:57 am

o-o

forecast is for overcast .... hard for ice fishermen to overcast

3:57 am

sprite

lol

3:58 am

puglet

if I done that I would always be looking for cracks

3:59 am

puglet

they have this thing in our state capital where these nut cases takes a plunge into the icy river to raise money---I dont know how they can do that

4:00 am

o-o

I ask ice fishermen what bait is best for ice

4:00 am

sprite

my crazy son did that with New Year, with his friends, to celebrate the start of the new year.

4:01 am

puglet

4:02 am

sprite

lol

4:02 am

puglet

Sprite, I didnt mean to say something bad about your son--sorry

4:02 am

sprite

oh it gives a rush, pug. They go in and then out right away, and adrenaline is racing through their bodies

4:02 am

sprite

you didn't, hun. And I agree. They are nuts.

4:03 am

o-o

I favor dry cleaning ... I sit in a tub with no water.

4:04 am

sprite

you are easy on the towels then

4:04 am

puglet

oh OO--lol you have a steamroom then

4:05 am

puglet

the tub would sure be cold on the backside

4:05 am

puglet

the tub would sure be cold on the backside

4:06 am

sprite

but with no water in the tub you could drape the towels allover you

4:07 am

o-o

I do not undress ... just trust in the higher power to get the job done

4:07 am

puglet

and what add a pillow too behind the head--lol

4:08 am

sprite

that should at least render a very clean soul

4:08 am

puglet

lol

4:09 am

puglet

If I had a tub I might give that a try--lol---what about you Sprite

4:10 am

sprite

don't have one either. We only have a shower. I wish we had a sit bath... that would be so awesome.

4:10 am

puglet

no expence for soaps or shampoos or laundry stuff--would save alot

4:11 am

I just don't know the herb peri

7:05 am

*Wait

7:06 am

Uneaixoise

7:07 am

7:07 am

rubyfoo

bonjour une

7:07 am

rubyfoo

7:08 am

Uneaixoise

salut, ruby!

7:08 am

bichon

I'd like to sit in a chair that is well upholstered. I will be co*********. Herb sounds like that

7:09 am

Uneaixoise

Ruby, am listening to the Angelica Houston bio and it's just wonderful -- bet you'd enjoy it!

7:09 am

Uneaixoise

bichon, your icon is soooo cute!

7:09 am

bichon

7:09 am

rubyfoo

une, I love that dog!

7:10 am

periwinkle

Help with any of the 8's pls

7:10 am

rubyfoo

last night, I spent almost 2 hours combing the two chiens and removed enough fur to make several bichons!

7:11 am

Uneaixoise

aaawww, one of mine is like that -- sheds mountains of fur!

7:11 am

bichon

Wrong color. Thinking of that, I need to brush mine too.

7:11 am

rubyfoo

happily, they don't shed, but when I comb them, that's another story

7:11 am

bichon

Mine don't shed, but they get matted

7:12 am

rubyfoo

def wrong color, bichon, would make grey-brown stinky bichos

7:12 am

Uneaixoise

reminds me of a friend who had a Samoyed she had to brush a LOT :-)

7:12 am

bichon

My groomer comes every 8 weeks, but mid way I have to brush

7:13 am

rubyfoo

brushing doesn't work on them; I have to deep-comb them

7:14 am

Uneaixoise

that's probably what she did with her samoyed

7:14 am

rubyfoo

and because Raffie is sloppy when she drinks, the fur on her neck becomes matted and nasty

7:15 am

rubyfoo

but Rufie is more and more magnifique!

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

he really suffered when she moved to florida -- ended up having to give him to her ex living in Connecticut

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

Royal Rufie!!

7:15 am

bichon

Summers are hot in CT

7:15 am

rubyfoo

we had two chows in Miami and the groomer came and picked them up every other week in his airconditioned van

7:16 am

rubyfoo

they never developed the fluffy undercoat that they do here

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

yeah, bichon but she was in southern florida -- hot ALL the time!

7:17 am

bichon

Soon it's going to be hotter

7:17 am

Uneaixoise

yep

7:18 am

bichon

TO...discuss it with him first. That way there are no surprises.

7:49 am

car.eeyore

Do you happen to have the old receipt/bill? Is there anything printed on that about a guarantee for work done?

7:50 am

car.eeyore

I have had that happen and I just have said right up front that I thought the problem had been fixed when he was here before, and will there be a charge for this visit because it is the same problem?

7:50 am

7:51 am

72 Temple Owl

hi river

7:51 am

car.eeyore

I have noticed it happens more than usual with companies we have "contracts" with, like the furnaces and such. Always seems to take more than 1 visit, but we have paid for coverage for the year, so it isn't out of pocket.

7:51 am

car.eeyore

Small local companies usually do the right thing. If not, it can burn them too badly in the community and they know it.

7:52 am

car.eeyore

OK...off to take mom to day care. Have a great day everyone!

7:52 am

72 Temple Owl

yes, i try to go local whenever i can for service. many times, like for appliances, there is only local

if it were me, and i actually liked bacon and so forth, i would pretend it were the war and i were having my ration and it was patriotic and all that, and that was why i was only having that much. i love feeling historical. but that could just be me.

9:02 am

crosshair

Oh, geesh. Now crossy is going to weave is bacon in to the shape of his national flag.

9:04 am

Judi

Feeling old now. "Marm" is not accepted.

9:04 am

crosshair

England has suffered really badly from flooding, we are not so bad.

9:12 am

9:21 am

Haz1558

February/March are the busiest months for farmers and vets.

9:22 am

There was a catastrophic snowfall towards the end of March last year - over 40,000 animals lost. Let's hope the same doesn't happen again.

2:34 pm

bichon

Do you work from home Molly?

2:35 pm

Nope, not back then.

2:35 pm

the good thing about the 11 am bourbon club is that it meshes well with the 1 p.m A.A meetings. "hello, I am crossy S and I have been sober for 10 minutes. What colour chip do I get?"

2:35 pm

hego

Bad Crossy!

I used to have a neighbor and her Mom sent a King Cake every year for Mardi Gras. This will be my first attempt at making one.

4:02 pm

After a recent conversation about all the US food things that are not available in the UK and Ireland, I had serious thoughts about how to set up some way to remedy that. Alas, I never have the start up money for ideas like that.

4:29 pm

Saw a recipe for smores dip!

4:30 pm

MollyL

Speaking of dip recipes...BLT dip...amazing stuff.

4:33 pm

Soodle

Really good idea Molly. I've only been to the US a handful of times, but I hanker after the tastes I experienced there,

4:36 pm

bichon

So different from Irish food I'm sure

4:39 pm

MollyL

There are a lot of places that you can get Irish and British food stuffs on line, without paying the insane shipping costs involved in ordering direct. It seems like there should be the opposite on the other side of the ocean.

4:56 pm

Soodle

First off, Molly, I changed the password on the broadband account. The whiskey guzzlers are now sans internet. Evil cackle. Also, all the nice conditioners & shampoos have been repossessed. Only the cheap nasty stuff remains in the bathroom. They're gonna learn the hard way.

5:54 pm

crosshair

we tried going out for Chinese food once at our favorite place to order take out and it was such a horrible experience that we will never do it again. The food continues to be amaing however, so we still order it for home delivery

5:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

easy to make at home and you know exactly what is in it.

5:55 pm

Jillyjill

whoo hoo! nbt/nbs

5:55 pm

MollyL

Not many Chinese restaurants are fun to "eat in" at. Our local one has great food, but it's on the boring side to eat there.

5:56 pm

Jillyjill

We know the owners, so ours can be pretty fun..

5:56 pm

72 Temple Owl

we had a great one for 25 years but it succumbed to the buffet craze. then it plain succumbed. L(

5:57 pm

Blech to the buffet craze.

5:57 pm

5:59 pm

MollyL

Most good Chinese places specialize in carry out. Some do the "eat in" thing, but it's kind of a wave at the people who feel the need to eat out. Not really a great dining experience.

5:59 pm

crosshair

must agree on that one

Jillyjill

Well, they cook for the Montanans, like chop suey, so you order things like Kung Pao..

6:03 pm

Jillyjill

And our son dated the owner's daughter in HS, previously we didn't go, but once he dated her, we get special treatment

6:03 pm

MollyL

No chop suey on the menu at our Chinese place. Doesn't that come in a can in the grocery store?

6:05 pm

Jillyjill

And seasoned with salt and pepper...bleghh

MollyL

â™ªâ™«Lo Choy makes Chinese food, swing American!â™«â™ª

6:09 pm

MollyL

Yep, it's really not a hard deal to make Chinese at home.

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

ive just bought sesame oil for the first time. before, used a lot of soy garlic and sherry to season

6:12 pm

Lizlin

If you like salmon - try marinading in soy, honey and 5 spice - really yummy.

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

and ginger. but the sherry adds a lot to a wick stir fry without sodium.

6:12 pm

9:25 pm

Sibelle

just how long does it take you all to finish a game?

9:26 pm

Bugsaw

how annoying uusue. good to see you tho

9:26 pm

penquis

depends on how many words there are to find....

9:26 pm

phandmd

depends on the puzzle... Poof!

9:26 pm

Bugsaw

Sibelle, sometimes I don't finish. Just enjoy the game and follow the clues. You will get better and better every day

9:26 pm

shorty

you guys are giving great clues I am getting alot of words from them, Thank you

9:26 pm

uusue2

Hi, Sibelle! There are some people who finish really fast but I usually come back and forth all day, and I need hints and clues and whatnot

9:27 pm

Jillyjill

Niters phan!

9:27 pm

o-o

I only look for words that I find.

9:28 pm

Bugsaw

LOL o-o. You find them all

9:28 pm

uusue2

well, I only find words I look for :-)

9:28 pm

Jillyjill

LOL o-o

9:28 pm

Jillyjill

and uusue

9:29 pm

Sibelle

ok!

9:29 pm

o-o

It is a lot harder to find words that you cannot find.

9:29 pm

uusue2

anyway, Sibelle, we each have our own way of playing; I usually try to get nbt (a word from each tile, or no blank tiles), nbs (a word of each length, or no blank stats), and at least half the words from each tile. Sometimes I go on and finish and sometimes not.

9:29 pm

Bugsaw

I sometime get words from typos tho

9:30 pm

uusue2

I have done that too, bugs! Sometimes my fingers are smarter than I am.

9:30 pm

Jillyjill

I know when I first started it seemed daunting, some days didn't find 10 words...but you learn and it becomes easier

9:30 pm

Bugsaw

sometimes I even try words that I can't find but know have a feeling are in there. they often are!

9:31 pm

Jillyjill

yep, our monkeys are GOOD!

9:31 pm

penquis

and you learn the "babblets"....

9:31 pm

o-o

I did finally figure out I can stop looking for words that I find ... unless I do not want to.

9:31 pm

uusue2

yes, a few times I have almost said that a word was a phantom (looks like it's there but it doesn't quite connect) only to realize that the word is really in the grid!

9:32 pm

o-o

Words can be sneaky like that.

9:33 pm

Jillyjill

I always type a phantom several times before I announce it...LOL
