cosdem

ahh lol.. its more of a statement ru

12:42 am

cosdem

ask molly!

12:42 am

Jacula

I think I've done really well so far here on my laptop after a fatal crash of my main pc, to get 47 words so far with only a solid green cube where the grid should be. All I can see are the stats. :(

12:42 am

rururocks

now I'm really confused

12:42 am

saanichcat

that is sooo funny cos!

12:43 am

Jacula

12:43 am

rururocks

reboot jac

12:43 am

flosey

well done indeed Jacula

12:43 am

rururocks

fatal?

12:43 am

rururocks

what would Molly know about pussies in knits :D

12:44 am

cosdem

its a picture of a cat! think about it

12:44 am

saanichcat

ru you have to read yesterdays chatlog

12:44 am

cosdem

I was trying to find a picture for my icon and came across this and sarcastically suggested this to Molly who found it the funniest thing ever

12:45 am

rururocks

oh...

12:45 am

rururocks

that's good

12:45 am

Jacula

I think I've done really well here, after a mjo crash on my pc and coming in on my ancient laptop, where I can only see a solid green cube for the grid. I can only see the stats and I've got 47 words so far. Yay me!

12:45 am

cosdem

you had to be there.

12:45 am

rururocks

she has to count on some of us to make her laugh

12:45 am

cosdem

pretty impressive jac

12:46 am

Jacula

Oh! It seems I can't add to the chatlog, since nothing I've posted is showing.

12:46 am

rururocks

what's a mojo crash

12:46 am

rururocks

nope you are chatting jac

12:47 am

cosdem

Ok I have spent the last 2-3 minutes looking for W words. Problem is I have them all. Time wasted.

12:47 am

rururocks

if you have a mojo crash is that something Viagra can take care of?

12:47 am

rururocks

*note to cos.. skip the w's for later*

12:47 am

saanichcat

jac, only one didn't show, all the rest did. and good for you!

12:47 am

cosdem

good idea!

12:48 am

rururocks

:D that's what I'm here for support and guidance :D

12:48 am

Jacula

ruru - I've done so much rebooting on my main PC and this ancient laptop today, having missed writing deadlines, that I'm all rebooted out now.

12:48 am

cosdem

I am not seeing the M's

12:48 am

rururocks

oh.. ok jac

12:48 am

rururocks

some weirdo m's cos

12:49 am

Jacula

I think I'll sign out for a while and try later on this laptop. Main pc may be out of action for a while.

12:49 am

rururocks

I better get ready for bed.. bb in a bit

12:49 am

1:02 am

puglet

and congrats to you too

1:02 am

flosey

hi rose

1:02 am

grannyrose

pugs, i spent some much needed time in a large hardware store x 3. looking for fittings etc to kit out MIL's bathroom, ready for our use. am paying for it. the icepack is my best friend at the moment.

1:03 am

grannyrose

hi flosey, that's a beautiful hibiscus, hun

1:04 am

flosey

funny rose, I changed the icon yesterday but I'm still seeing my tiny vase of tulips

1:04 am

puglet

I bet it was nice to be out--but sorry for your pain--you should of gotten a wheelchair to use like it was suggested earlier---:)

1:05 am

flosey

and what's even funnier, someone called it a wild rose - which I had, in fact, chosen

1:05 am

puglet

Yes Flosey thats a pretty flower but I like the other better--it made like spring was nearing-lol

1:05 am

grannyrose

yeah i know, but it was unplanned. just thought we would try one store on our way home from counseling, then i got stubborn and didn't want to come home without what i was looking for.

1:06 am

flosey

yes pugs, the tulips,

1:06 am

grannyrose

oh, flosey?? is it a wild rose, then?

1:06 am

puglet

those tulips are beautiful

1:07 am

flosey

yes, and when I click on my icon, it comes up as the wild rose

1:07 am

puglet

did counseling go good Rose

1:08 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. don participated as well. we did a lot of hard work. and don says it's nice to have what he is doing confirmed as the right thing to do.

1:10 am

puglet

good! that gives him some confident then having to deal with mrs. superwoman--lol

1:11 am

puglet

and what about you? are you doing the right things

1:11 am

grannyrose

lol, yeah....i have given myself permission to be more open about how i am feeling, without bottling it up until i explode. i am allowed to cry etc.

1:13 am

puglet

well thats the only way to get through this mess and now you have more private space to do what you got to do

1:14 am

grannyrose

exactly, and no lookers-on either. just don and rose

1:14 am

puglet

so how swollen are you now? Can you see your toes?

1:15 am

grannyrose

yup, all 11 of them...lol

1:15 am

puglet

now he should get that your crying is a healing measure and not directed at him

1:16 am

puglet

well if you are seeing 11 you really got a swollen prob.

1:16 am

grannyrose

our counselor says she has never seen a couple so obviously in love before.

1:17 am

grannyrose

*giggle* nah, i have 12 just like everyone else does.

1:17 am

puglet

thats a real compliment to you guys

1:17 am

puglet

and thats whats going to get you guys through this

1:17 am

flosey

very nice of her to mention it, rose

1:17 am

grannyrose

i thought so too.

1:18 am

flosey

and FW at last, and off to bed, goodnight all

1:18 am

o-o

My counselor told me I was a social retard.

1:19 am

Jacula

Well, this is just the perfect end to a crappy week. I can still only see a solid green cube where the grid should be. I can see the stats and so have found 61 words so far. 46 to go,. I've really had enough now and I'll see you all some time soon when my main pc is fixed and I get off this craappy old laptop. xx

1:19 am

grannyrose

don's new tactic for when i lose the plot, is he steps up to me and hugs me until i calm down.

1:19 am

grannyrose

WTG FLOSEY!! hope you sleep well, hun

1:19 am

flosey

interesting icon o-o

1:19 am

puglet

Morning OO and thats not at all to say to you

1:19 am

flosey

thanks rose, and enjoy the rest of your day

1:20 am

puglet

put a nice into that statement--OO

1:20 am

grannyrose

o-o, forgive me, but your counselor doesn't know a goog thing when they see it. for goodness sake! what a thing to say!

1:20 am

flosey

rose, that's what hubby does, and won't let go til I'm calm

1:20 am

flosey

took him a while to learn that one

1:20 am

puglet

congrats Flosey and good night

1:21 am

flosey

thanks pugs and sweet sleep to you when you're ready

1:21 am

puglet

thanks Flosey

1:21 am

grannyrose

it's lovely isn't it, flosey? right when you feel like the meanest person alive, you are told how much you are loved.

1:23 am

Jacula

grannyrose - my son, an IT expert has been hugging me to cal m me down, but it's not working! Other Half wll arive home later and no doubt hug me also. It's not going to stop me wanting to torture and kill the little shit that wrote the malware that's f*cked up my pc. The pc | need for work and to earn money.

1:23 am

jillibus

FW and hi rose and those I missed while buried in the grid

1:23 am

grannyrose

WTG JILLI!!!!

1:23 am

puglet

Hi Jilli and congrats

1:24 am

grannyrose

egad, jac!! kill him!! the bloke who mucked up your pc, i mean, not your son or DH

1:25 am

grannyrose

jac, have you ever done a silent scream? it's relieves a lot of stress.

1:25 am

Jacula

granny rose - I have imagined dipping him in boiling water, then boiling oil, chopping bits of him and then showering with lemon juice.... need I go on?

1:26 am

jillibus

jac, that's so mean of the little shit. Why do they do that? Do they pull the wings off flies too?

1:26 am

o-o

I do not think you will be getting a Christmas card from him.

1:27 am

Jacula

I've been silent screaming all bloody day, grannyrose. I need to vent to the full moon outside now - However, it's 7.26am, still dark, and doing so would staartle the neighbours. So, I'll scream into and punch a pillow, I think.

1:27 am

grannyrose

you poor love!! i don't know what to say to help you either. it is so frustrating for you. was this malware a program specifically for you, or is it one that can be used by anyone?

1:30 am

Lizlin

Rehi - you poor thing, Jac - that's such an awful thing to happen. Hugs.

1:30 am

Lizlin

Also hi Rose - just been reading about your counselling - sounds good.

1:30 am

grannyrose

cooee liz

1:30 am

puglet

re hi Liz

1:31 am

Jacula

Grannyrose - my son, who specialises in sorting this sort of crap out, reckons in came in from a Java update. If any of you see an upda te popping up that tells you Windows Signature Explorer (a thing that doesn't exist) has stopped working, leave it well alone and take your computer to your nearest friendly IT doctor.

1:31 am

Lizlin

Such contempt for people that do this!

1:32 am

Lizlin

Anger too - they just mess up people's lives with no thought for the consequences.

1:34 am

Jacula

I'm going to stop moaning now, since I sill have my health (or at least I will get it back when I finally get over the moth-long cold/flu virus thing). The computer thing is by the by and I curse the little sh*t that wrote it.

1:34 am

Lizlin

Are you in a flooded area, Jac?

1:36 am

Jacula

Not so far, Lizlin, this time - thank God. (Our flood insurance was taken away a decade or more ago, as you know, and there's no chance of us getting it back, no matter which insurance company we approach. Welcome to the UK in the 21st century!

1:36 am

Lizlin

Thank goodness for that!

1:38 am

Jacula

I'd forgotten for the moment about the fact that I've been sleepless all week for fear of flodding. More bad weather is forecast. I'm going to go upstairs, shut the curtains, put some earplugs in and try to hibernate for a while now. Must be up in 4 hours though to start making the beef stew I've promised for tonight's dinner.

1:39 am

Lizlin

Sleep well Jac - hope the rain stays away.

1:39 am

Jacula

Let's hope the 100mph winds don't blow the roof off!

1:41 am

grannyrose

hope you can rest, jac.

1:41 am

Lizlin

BBL

1:43 am

puglet

just when our roads are getting good more snow today and tomorrow

1:43 am

grannyrose

bbs also. don needs a massage. poor love has a migraine starting, and we have found that if i massage his neck and shoulder early enough, we can slow it down to a roar.

1:44 am

puglet

okay Rose-hope he can ward it off

1:45 am

o-o

33+ days until spring

1:46 am

puglet

can you make it go quicker OO--lol

1:49 am

o-o

ask me no questions and I will tell you no lies.

1:50 am

o-o

Another annoying grid.

1:50 am

puglet

congrats on your fws OO---okay, guess you cant then :) ---- I suppose I will just have to wait it out

1:52 am

o-o

How many do you have left to find ... or have you finished too?

1:52 am

puglet

its gotten hard for me---well you had two in a row that was kinda large

1:52 am

puglet

LOL--that would be the day to finish this early--I got 46 to go but I havent went to lickety yet

1:54 am

grannyrose

WTG O-O!!

1:55 am

puglet

what is the stats for the 8

1:55 am

puglet

welcome back Rose

1:55 am

o-o

thirty minute grids are not my favorites

1:56 am

grannyrose

it's a plural pugs. no7/8

1:56 am

puglet

well if I could solve a grid in that time I would feel like the cat that swallowed the bird

1:57 am

puglet

thanks Rose

1:57 am

grannyrose

* races to hide psycho* good you said bird, not canary, pugs

1:58 am

puglet

lol, Rose---poor psycho

1:59 am

grannyrose

it's a synonym for work of fiction

2:00 am

grannyrose

did i tell you he responds to my voice now? not just the "kissing" noises i make? i so cannot whistle..lol

2:01 am

puglet

do you ever let him out

2:01 am

grannyrose

not intentionally. one of the times he got out, he flew back into his cage of his own accord, though.

2:04 am

puglet

I had one once along time ago and would hang his cage out under the maple tree in nice weather and in the house would let him out and he would sit on our boxers head

2:05 am

grannyrose

i am currently trying to get him used to my hands . i deliberately bring my hands up to his perch where he is sitting.

2:05 am

grannyrose

too cute, pugs

2:05 am

puglet

how old is he

2:06 am

grannyrose

he's 9 years old. don gave him to me the first christmas after we were married.

2:07 am

puglet

and how did he get a name like phycho

2:10 am

o-o

Must stayed at the Bates Motel

2:11 am

puglet

LOL OO

2:11 am

grannyrose

lol, o-o...i called him psycho because he was a canary and behaves like a budgerigar.

2:11 am

grannyrose

the other name for him is abraham...he spills his seed on the ground....lol

2:13 am

puglet

Lol Rose

2:14 am

grannyrose

naughty i know, but you have to have a giggle now and then

2:14 am

puglet

only you Rose :)

2:19 am

puglet

got all my a's and c' done

2:20 am

grannyrose

yay pugs. did you get the 8?

2:21 am

puglet

sorry had to write down stats from lickety---and nay

2:22 am

grannyrose

okay, no*, french no + ***e the music, the front of your head + cross letter, then plural for no8

2:22 am

o-o

You do not use the printable clue list?

2:23 am

puglet

I do OO-like you said but I dont have a printer

2:23 am

grannyrose

pugs, you can reduce the size of your current screen, and the open the clues in a new window.

2:24 am

puglet

I do that, but when I type a word lickety's page goes off

2:25 am

o-o

put it back on

2:25 am

grannyrose

then you have to reduce the size of lickety's page so you can have both open at the same time

2:26 am

grannyrose

oops, dinner ready. o-o can you talk her through how to do that?

2:26 am

puglet

yes I have both on at the same time but as soon as I click the mouse lickety's goes off

2:26 am

o-o

click it open again

2:26 am

puglet

okay Rose, enjoy

2:26 am

sprite

good morning all

2:26 am

puglet

and I did down size Licketys

2:27 am

puglet

Morning Sprite and hugs

2:27 am

sprite

*hugs* pugs

2:27 am

puglet

feeling better friend

2:28 am

sprite

did you downsize the babble page too so they can sit next to eachother?

2:28 am

sprite

yes, thank you darling, I am. Even slept well tonight.

2:29 am

puglet

so happy for you Sprite---and no I didnt--not sure how to do that

2:31 am

sprite

at the top right corner, there are 3 symbols. A dash, a double square and an X. If you click the middle one, the double square, the page will be reduced to smaller size.

2:32 am

puglet

ah I did it! but cant chat, can you

2:32 am

sprite

and once it is a smaller size, you can adjust it to the size you want and move it to the place you want by dragging.

2:32 am

sprite

yes, you can, just drag the borders with your mouse until you have a good size

2:32 am

puglet

oh wow! no more having to write all the stats!

2:33 am

sprite

good! Well done too.

2:35 am

puglet

OO, gave me the way to get the printable stats and that was better then before and now this will help alot too--thanks guys

2:36 am

sprite

yvw pug. You are such a quick learner!

2:36 am

puglet

I dreaded the bigger grids cause all that writing was a pain

2:37 am

sprite

darling, next time be sure to tell us earlier... if there are better ways, chances are some oldtimers like us will have found them.

Oh that bloody move...she has sooooo much stuff mostly childrens toys..even now..we are still taking boxes around to her..but there is no more room yet...still have about 50-60 boxes to go.

4:20 am

puglet

sounds like alot of work---so you storing boxes for her then LOL

4:21 am

zoozzoom

I like the proverb on your profile page, o-o, it reminds me of how i think of things like there must be something else past the edge of space and alike.

4:21 am

zoozzoom

No me, Pugs, my house is way to small for that..but they are all round my parents house..lol

4:23 am

zoozzoom

How are your earning money plans coming along, Pugs? Still going for it?

4:23 am

puglet

Havent done much of anything due to this weather, Zoom

4:25 am

zoozzoom

That's fair enough, It has been a terrible year for our weather so far.

4:25 am

puglet

It has at that and its not over yet either

4:26 am

puglet

OO says 33 more days til spring and I cant wait! lol

4:28 am

zoozzoom

I know...we have been having one low system after another here..flooding is everywhere it is so sodden outside...the ground just can't take anymore water..yet it is tipping down again outside...i was thing of building an arc.

4:28 am

puglet

It just came on the news that Ralph Waite died (think thats his last name) played the father on the Waltons

4:29 am

puglet

LOL-Zoom---better get started then

4:29 am

zoozzoom

Yes there has been a few stars passing on lately..Shirley temple passed away just the other day too :-)

4:30 am

puglet

once all this starts melting I bet we get some flooding too, although Iam on higher ground

4:31 am

zoozzoom

Glad you are on higher ground...must be awful to be flooded.

4:31 am

zoozzoom

I take it you have a fair few inches of lying snow then, Pugs?

4:33 am

puglet

anything that cause someone to lose their home is bad----------Yes, zoom, dont know how much for theres drifts here and there and new snow coming in today and tomorrow(not suppose to be more then 1-3 inches)

4:33 am

puglet

but it all adds up from storm to storm

4:34 am

o-o

According to NASA, scientists know that the universe is flat with only about a 0.4 percent margin of error (as of 2013). A flat universe is an infinite universe; thus the size of the universe is infinite.

4:34 am

zoozzoom

Ha if we got three inches of snow here..everything shuts down and the whole island grinds to a halt..it is so ridiculous.

4:35 am

puglet

thats interesting OO

4:36 am

o-o

Are you done, pugs?

4:37 am

puglet

I need 8 more, OO

4:37 am

zoozzoom

Gosh i find those type of facts mind blowing..i did hear a while ago that everything in space is falling..it is not still as it looks...not sure how people come to these conclusions...as my brain can not get these facts.

4:40 am

o-o

Seems like NASA spends a lot of time trying to measure what becomes inaccurate immediately after the measurement ... the measurement is limited to the capability of the instrument ... what we learn is interesting but forever incomplete.

4:41 am

puglet

the m's are giving me the worse trouble--I got all the 4's

4:42 am

zoozzoom

Yes i would agree with that, o-o, a lot of the facts tend to be tweaked at some point or another..lol

4:46 am

zoozzoom

I have a ME 6..Pugs ..Not female + another word or having say a car on loan is to ***e a car.

Hi Annie

7:26 am

72 Temple Owl

Cajun includes a 4/4 beat Two-step (a type of Polka), a 3/4 beat waltz, and a sort of 4/4 beat blues forms, and all usually have an A and a B part to the music and extended lyrics.

7:26 am

72 Temple Owl

Zydeco is a mix of 4/4 beat Caribbean, blues, and jazz, with one of these usually predominant in a particular tune. There is no waltz form, and there is usually only an A part to the music, with lyrics being simple and repeated (often only a single call-and-response set).

7:27 am

72 Temple Owl

Cajun is the traditional music of the Louisiana Cajun people.
Zydeco is the music of some Southwestern Louisiana (and some Eastern Texas and San Francisco, California) Black people.

9:13 am

hurshy

probably eventually babs... but i don't know how long it will take before clips end up on youtube

9:13 am

Judi

Don't know about that, Babs. You can try Hulu or the network websites. They may have highlight videos.

9:15 am

Babs1

thanks luv...thought I'd put that one in... thanks about olympics...can't find access anywhere...you can access in Canada,but don't think here

9:16 am

just google cheri bbc iplayer

9:16 am

hurshy

you can get instructions for making your computer look like it is in another country

9:16 am

Judi

The Olympics doesn't have a Facebook page??

9:17 am

hurshy

it is WAY PAST TIME for NBC to get kicked off olympic duty. such a shame that they outbid ESPN the last bidding cycle.

9:18 am

Judi

Clue for Ma6/24, please?

9:18 am

poodletoes

if ESPN was broadcasting the Olympics, I would not be able to watch it.

Gah, make that the Ma6/36.

9:18 am

hurshy

rats, i was hoping for ma6/24.

9:19 am

hurshy

yes you would poodle, for they would put it online for people to watch for free.

9:19 am

Judi

There is no ma6/24. There is an me6/24 tho.

9:19 am

Babs1

seems crazy to restrict access to a global event like this...

9:19 am

poodletoes

they dont do that with anything else

9:20 am

hurshy

well i think that was part of their proposal

9:20 am

hurshy

idk

9:20 am

hurshy

but they were DEFINITELY going to SHOW THINGS LIVE

9:20 am

hurshy

and i think on their website too.

9:20 am

poodletoes

I's rather watch in on my big TV

9:20 am

hurshy

so get a cable that hooks up your compy to your tv, easy as pie.

9:21 am

Judi

Found the ma6. Uses the high value letter, if anyone is interested.

9:21 am

MollyL

So many people now have their TV hooked up to their computer that if it's on the computer, it's considered "TV watchable"

took me almost an hour to clean off my car and dig it out. and then some shovelling, I am so sick of snow and ice I could spit!!

3:05 pm

periwinkle

A very nice man came by this am on a small snow plow and pushed away the snow and ice that was covering the grates at the end of the driveway. the melting snow had nowhere to go and there was a small flood there.

3:05 pm

jaxx7

I am off to find a painkiller. The latest gale is howling around my house. see you later

3:06 pm

periwinkle

as I was shovelling the sidewalk several cars drove by and splashed me :(

MollyL

The nerve!

3:07 pm

periwinkle

but then other cars made an effort to go around the puddle which kind of made of for it but not really. I had just washed and blowed dry my hair

3:08 pm

MollyL

This kind of weather does not lend itself to pretty hair.

3:08 pm

periwinkle

my hair is very dry and looks horrible at the moment

3:11 pm

MollyL

I have to be creative to pump enough humidity into the air when there is lots of indoors with the heat on time.

3:12 pm

periwinkle

I should probably use the humidifier tonight or now

3:13 pm

My skin gets dry when there isn't enough humidity in the air.

excellent read: "Taft 2012" -- about what if William Howard Taft disappeared during his presidency and came back during the 2012 elections? Amusing read and makes you think.

I heard a good one about a US trick skiier who never gave up when his Dad lost his job in the recession. The kid went door to door explaining his dream and asking for work. He mowed lawns and walked dogs or whatever people could think of to help him along and he ended up winning a medal!
