Hello?

2:42 am

ARB

shalom

2:42 am

gapeach

Hey there, ARB.

2:43 am

ARB

Where are you in the States? It's the middle of the night there!

2:44 am

gapeach

I'm in Georgia, ARB. It's almost 4:00AM here.

2:45 am

gapeach

I have insomnia......sleep isn't an easy thing.

2:45 am

ARB

Should have known. Georgia Peach!

2:45 am

gapeach

More like a Georgia prune now though. LOL

2:46 am

gapeach

The wrinkles do tell the story.

2:46 am

ARB

It's 10:45 a.m. here and I just spent 3 hours in the kitchen getting dinner ready for my kids and grandkids.

2:47 am

gapeach

You've been busy then.

2:48 am

ARB

yes. Grndkids expect Gramma's chocolate cake which is the old recipe from the back of the Hershey's cocoa box!

2:48 am

Lizlin

Hi and shalom

2:48 am

gapeach

Hi there, Liz. How are you?

2:49 am

ARB

Here we are thousands of miles apart and conversing!

2:49 am

Lizlin

Well, thanks. Looking forward to our Friday night dinner!

2:49 am

Lizlin

Hope you are both well.

2:50 am

ARB

It's a lovely family time - Shabbat dinner.

2:50 am

Lizlin

Totally agree though it's just my hubby and me.

2:50 am

gapeach

Doing ok here, Liz.

2:51 am

ARB

Often it is the only time we get to see our kids and grandkids in the week -- everyone is busy with school, jobs, etc.

2:52 am

Lizlin

It's a special time. For years I'd go to my dad on Friday night.

2:54 am

Lizlin

OK almost dinner time. Have a good day Peach and Shabbat shalom ARB.

2:54 am

ARB

Shabbat Shalom Liz

2:55 am

gapeach

Thanks, Liz. Have a wonderful dinner.

3:11 am

gapeach

I need to do a few things....have a great day/night all.

3:12 am

grannyrose

cooee and g'day from me. is there anyone left in chog?

3:12 am

ARB

Shalom Granny

3:13 am

grannyrose

ah, arb, shabbat shalom, dear

3:14 am

ARB

SHabbat Shalom to you.

3:15 am

grannyrose

thank-you. how are things over there for you? our babblers in your ar4 of the world are often in my prayers.

3:17 am

ARB

Life is as usual -- lots of headlines, but everyday life is the same. I am less than happy (an understatement if there ever was one) with my government and the way it puts barriers on the way to some kind of peace settlement.

3:18 am

grannyrose

*sigh* arb...put women in the government, throw out the men...

3:18 am

ARB

Everyone in the world, please!

3:19 am

grannyrose

absolutely, arb. i am so tired of our menfolk posturing and mouthing nothings.

3:20 am

grannyrose

is what is happening in the crimea impacting on you?

3:20 am

ARB

Not directly. I assume it will mean an increase in emigration from that area -- the anti-semitism is rising.

3:21 am

grannyrose

ugh, arb...has the world learned nothing since wwii?

3:22 am

ARB

No.

3:24 am

grannyrose

awww, hun. i am so sorry. i apologise for the human race. i know it is a drop in the bucket...

3:24 am

ARB

It's a philosophical conflict for me. I'm for doing whatever it takes to reach a peace settlement, but I have a deep distrust of both the Moslem nations as well as the righteous Europeans.

3:24 am

ARB

Expediency, oil, and greed rule.

3:24 am

grannyrose

egad, please protect me from a righteous man...

3:25 am

ARB

amen

3:28 am

grannyrose

in ozland, we have a problem with the money-grubbing companys. we have several large corporations move their businesses to off-shore, to save money on wages. it is so sad. many families have now been put below the standard of living.

3:29 am

ARB

ANd then those rich businessmen have the nerve to say that poverty is self-inflicted and the poor don't want to work etc

3:33 am

grannyrose

*rolls eyes* exactly...i am so afraid for all these families whom have lost their income.

3:37 am

rubyfoo

{{rosie}} I've just sent you a long, explicatory (is that a word?) e-mail

3:41 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} ruby. i promised myself to stay here until you surfaced ...and here you are, darling girl.

3:42 am

rubyfoo

yesterday was a low point but the sun is shining, so maybe today will be better

3:42 am

rubyfoo

amd the letter explains a lot

3:42 am

rubyfoo

hello ARB

3:42 am

grannyrose

awww, dearest. xoxox just for you...

3:45 am

rubyfoo

shalom, ARB. I am sure we're the only Jews in our village....

3:45 am

rubyfoo

and Fr anti-Semitism runs very deep

3:46 am

rubyfoo

we've not experienced any, but I'm sure it's underlying

3:49 am

grannyrose

oh, dear...was sharing with don...i hope that is okay, ruby...he says you need to develop alzheimers, rapidly.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

hahah

3:53 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake!!! this anti-semitism belongs to the 1st century. todays jewish people are not responsible for what their ancestors did. just as i(as a 4th generation australian) am not responsible for the slaughter and maltreatment of our indigenous people by the first fleeters.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

a Fr fighter jet just flew past, lo*** than my house, very scary

6:56 am

rubyfoo

6:57 am

rubyfoo

a moose without antlers

6:58 am

lynxxx

hi Cross

6:58 am

rubyfoo

6:58 am

lynxxx

I think its all making a resurgence

6:59 am

rubyfoo

do you know the book about the cow, Jessica, and the moose who loved her? I think it took place in VT.

6:59 am

rubyfoo

do you know the book about the cow, Jessica, and the moose who loved her? I think it took place in VT.

6:59 am

rubyfoo

Woud you call the offspring a coose or a mow?

6:59 am

crosshair

as a single fella I had my quadrophic system so I could listen to Pink Floyd's The Wall record correctly. it had a 8-track, dual cassette and I had a pair of 4 foot high Traynor concert speakers. lol. The dishes used to rattle in the sink when those thing were turned up

7:00 am

rubyfoo

I find CD's very flat and I'm no musician!

7:00 am

crosshair

a old system like mine seemed to impart more.. warmth to the music

7:00 am

rubyfoo

The other night I heard Joe Cocker's "feelin' All Right" as part of a movie track and found mysef unable to stop dancing!

7:01 am

rubyfoo

The dogs thought I was crazy, but husband didn't notice lol

7:01 am

crosshair

wife and I played his tune Leave your hat on and we danced as well:))))

7:02 am

lynxxx

Happily our dogs can't tell tales

7:02 am

rubyfoo

I tried to get one of them to dance, but she was uninterested

7:03 am

rubyfoo

<-- misses dancing

7:04 am

crosshair

i love Joe Cocker. he does not worry about flash and glitz when doing videos. he looks like everyones drunk uncle at the tail end of a wild party

7:04 am

MollyL

It's a shame Ruby. Those cute little butterfly shoes should be out on the dance floor : D

7:04 am

rubyfoo

7:04 am

rubyfoo

but shoes aren't so little

rubyfoo

7:08 am

rubyfoo

Todays tidbit gives you just that. You will see your airspace, all the planes in it, and if you click on a plane you are interested in , you will get a picture of it, all the stats, it cruising speed and if it is late or on time to its destination! http://tinyurl.com/ltn8xzp

8:22 am

crosshair

8:23 am

Judi

Oh my. I did google it. I'm guessing an English prof would be caught off guard by that one.

8:24 am

bichon

what is this word? and hi y'all

8:24 am

crosshair

howdy bichon, look it up. the fun is in the discovery

8:25 am

bichon

look what up?

8:25 am

crosshair

the word..

8:25 am

crosshair

pilkunnussija

8:26 am

Judi

I think it's Finnish, though. So, points off for that.

8:26 am

crosshair

the meaning is one thing, but the literal translation is a riot

8:26 am

crosshair

English is nothing but an almalgamation of many words from other cultures anyways

8:27 am

Riverdance

I think we have a couple of those in babble land

8:27 am

Judi

*gets mop to clean up Crossy's amalgamation*

8:27 am

crosshair

lol

8:27 am

crosshair

i think so as well, riverdance

8:28 am

crosshair

however, it has been pretty good of late

8:28 am

Riverdance

I chuckled at the etymology of the word

8:28 am

crosshair

:)

8:29 am

Riverdance

and good morning everyone

8:30 am

Judi

Hiya, River.

8:30 am

crosshair

i came across this word last month, after dealing with a war in babble of a particular word incorrectly used. Was shocked at the time, but i had to find the fun in it all

8:31 am

gemini_J13

once had the FAA come to our house in rural western Kansas ~~ they said something was sending a signal that was interfering with the jets radios.......

8:31 am

crosshair

cannot even remember what the word was or the two who i was jousting with over it.:)

8:31 am

Riverdance

good for you.....I have been corrected on occasion and it.......its annoying......

8:31 am

crosshair

lol, gemeni, i told you you had too much juice going through that ham radio..

8:32 am

Riverdance

and hurtful sometimes

8:32 am

crosshair

lol, river, these two were serious as heart attacks over the entire thing. i would of laughed at the time if they had not been so ugly over it

8:33 am

crosshair

but it is in the past, just wanted to share my word discovery

8:33 am

Riverdance

that is a fun word....thanks for sharing

8:33 am

Judi

Oh dear. Glad I missed that.

8:33 am

bichon

definitely Finnish

8:33 am

Riverdance

I cant believe I am already stuck with 75 to go

8:33 am

gemini_J13

it was a tv booster in the attic that we hadn't used in years... they took it!! said they had been searching for a long time

8:33 am

crosshair

lol, gemeni

8:33 am

Riverdance

is this true gemini?

8:34 am

gemini_J13

yes true story

8:34 am

crosshair

it does happen , riverdance

8:34 am

Judi

That's crazy, gemini! They must have thought ET was trying to phone home from your attic.

8:34 am

crosshair

some equipment can really play havoc on jet communications

8:34 am

crosshair

especially the older unshielded stuff

8:35 am

Judi

*re-afixes tin foil beret*

8:35 am

crosshair

i like you made a beret instead of a standard hat;)

8:35 am

Riverdance

omg.....that is funny....I can picture the men in black suits coming to your house - like Will Smith in Men in Black

8:36 am

crosshair

but that will not deal with the mind control gas they put in the jet slipstream to control you...

8:36 am

gemini_J13

yep ,,, you can imagine,,, they drove up in a white vehicle with a big round antenna on top ~ scared me,, the guy pulls out his official FAA Badge

8:36 am

Judi

What a riot.

8:36 am

gemini_J13

I had no idea what they were looking for.... they said the signal led them here.....

8:36 am

crosshair

today is "poke a conspiracy theorist" day

8:38 am

crosshair

i mean why worry? big brother is tapped into all our cell phone anyways...

8:38 am

crosshair

hehe

8:38 am

gemini_J13

you're right,, if they can find a tv booster in my attic....

8:39 am

bichon

Sounds like X-Files

8:39 am

crosshair

if service providers did not sell the phones, the govt would dive them away with each tax return. easier to keep track of everyone that way

8:39 am

Judi

No kidding. Although, I think it would be kind of boring - being tasked to drive around in a van chasing ancient radio signals. Suppose they go off grid and go storm chasing for sh*ts and giggles?

8:39 am

gemini_J13

lol

8:39 am

Good day to all.

Hiya, Scrabbs!

8:41 am

8:43 am

Scrabbler

My greatnephew Jaxson thought the potty I brought to him was a cool toy. He removed the container portion then placed the seat over his head and got one arm through too. Removal was a challenge!

8:44 am

bichon

My great niece put a bucket over her head and it wouldn't come off.

8:44 am

Judi

Oh no!

8:44 am

crosshair

lol!! when our son was young, he stuck his head through the plastic slats of one of those kiddie patio chairs. I was at work and the mrs called me, i told her to go in the tool box, grab my hack saw and just gut the chair off of him

12:24 pm

12:24 pm

cosdem

TGIF which means I'm off at 730p and not 1130p so I have more time to finish this :)

12:25 pm

crosshair

my monkey just never showed up for work. No call, nothing.

12:26 pm

cosdem

my monkeys broke plates and slammed the door on their way out. sad pathetic immature overworked chimps

12:26 pm

crosshair

going to be monkey stew for dinner if things are not stepped up a bit around here..

12:28 pm

cosdem

if things keep going down this road they will one day say No and rise against us :) and it'll be all babble's fault.

12:28 pm

MimiCat

Cos, dear...chimps are not monkeys. I'm weird..used to raise both..have a problem with the lingo.

12:28 pm

Aloyisius

oh oh, Planet of the Apes!

12:28 pm

cosdem

Oh I know I was trying to "slur" them :P

12:29 pm

speaking of... I just found out Koko is still alive. Watched some videos of him signing. So cute!

12:30 pm

MimiCat

Fabulous, Aloy! Let me know your final opinion. Wait until you get to the scene where the dad is in his study with the ships in bottles...it will break your heart.

12:30 pm

cybernan

any clues for the last wo 8, please? - can't find another compound that works

12:31 pm

MimiCat

I nearly went to Stanford to work with Penny Patterson and Koko years ago...just didn't work out. Also just missed going to Africa to work with Dian Fossey...if I had been there, I'd have been killed, too. So sad there.

12:31 pm

Aloyisius

ok, Mimi, will do.. am having delays here, internet not up to snuff

12:31 pm

cosdem

I am so fascinated with dian fossey and jane goodall.. im sorry you missed the chance working with penny and koko. i love the work they do

12:32 pm

flosey

wo8 - wo4 + brief letter

12:32 pm

Aloyisius

ty flosey, needed that one

12:32 pm

MimiCat

I have raised chimps, orangs, and gorillas and gorillas are the BEST. Koko is so amazing and she loves her kitten babies.

12:32 pm

cybernan

ty flosey - don't know how I missed that one!

12:32 pm

Aloyisius

congrats, nan!!

12:35 pm

bichon

Woot nan

12:35 pm

MimiCat

Yes, gorillas are lovely creatures. I had a 500 lb. male who used to take M&M's out of my hand using two fingers only so as to be sure he didn't hurt me.

12:35 pm

flosey

wow cos, what a story, would have been interesting to see

12:35 pm

crosshair

mm, did not know my icon animal could be extended that way for wo 6/29 and wo 7/56 ;))

12:36 pm

bichon

Wish my dogs could take some lessons from that gorilla Mimi

12:36 pm

ahh yes, as in eating fast sort of thing..

Bathroom reno is finally finished - 2 months after the start --- just a few details on other work being done today --- retiled PR floor as well and other minor carpentry details hubby didn't want to tackle (Think he's getting old!)

12:37 pm

cosdem

My dog too! Every time I feed him from the hand and he grabs too fast and nips my finger I go OW! and the next bite he takes is very gentle lol

12:37 pm

MimiCat

Chimps, however, are definitely the dark side.

12:37 pm

cybernan

bye all :)

12:37 pm

cosdem

so planet of the apes have it wrong then. the chimps should be the villains?

12:38 pm

cosdem

bye nan

12:38 pm

Aloyisius

bye, nan.. see you next time

12:39 pm

MimiCat

Oh, yeah...definitely. Gorillas are the best, orangs can go either way but usually good, but chimps are the ones most genetically like us and the only ones who kill monkeys and wild pigs and eat the meat.

12:39 pm

cosdem

ah i did not know that! the last part I mean

12:40 pm

MimiCat

But chimps were designed to live a different lifestyle than the other two apes. They actually need to be more aggressive...similar to the way humans evolved, needing aggression to survive.

12:40 pm

cosdem

That does make sense.

12:40 pm

Aloyisius

can see why you would not want to confuse a chimp with a monkey

12:41 pm

cosdem

Thats right Aloy. Makes a lot of sense now.

12:41 pm

MimiCat

Can't wait until my grandsons are old enough to go to the zoo with me and really learn. I've also raised tigers, lions (no bears) and many other species, so it's fun going to the zoo with me because I "speak the languages" and can get the animals to really react.

12:42 pm

MimiCat

The older grandson seems to be interested in animals and the younger in music...so, Mimi is 2 for 2 since those are my areas of "expertise."

12:43 pm

cosdem

Can I go with!?

12:43 pm

flosey

was just thinking the same, cos

12:43 pm

Deeha

Wish I lived near you Mimi!!

12:43 pm

flosey

what an interesting visit to the Zoo

12:44 pm

MimiCat

I do love monkeys, though...raised 2 wooly monkeys and a squirrel monkey at home...wouldn't recommend that. Still have a scar on my thumb where a capuchin monkey put her canine tooth nearly all the way through it...it was numb for months.

12:44 pm

Deeha

Have a look at my profile!!

12:44 pm

flosey

ouch, might have killed a nerve

12:44 pm

cosdem

No one wants to go to the zoo with me ever because I like to read every sign about the animals lol. I might go to the local zoo soon to feed the giraffes. They let you feed them for 1.00 3 crckers) and you can pet their heads.

12:46 pm

MimiCat

A former boyfriend and I went on a cross-country trip and I visited all the zoos while he had business appts. In Milwaukee he asked where to find me when he came back so I told him to just go to the primate house and look for a crowd..which he did...and found me easily. Said later "You'll never know how weird it is to go to the zoo and see the woman you love on display in a cage with two orangutans!

12:46 pm

cosdem

lol nice

12:46 pm

MimiCat

Love the profile pics, Dee!

12:47 pm

flosey

Deeha, beautiful children but picture is far too big - only see bits at a time - beautiful smiles

12:48 pm

MimiCat

Cos, you live relatively close to me...have you ever gone to Out of Africa at Camp Verde, AZ? I used to be their education director when they were still in Phoenix. They have really expanded and they don't keep animals in cages...they have habitats. Even have swimming pool for the tigers!

12:49 pm

MimiCat

Oh, the many stories I could tell....you'll have to wait for me to finish my book...still working on it.

12:50 pm

Aloyisius

something major going on behind the scenes, i.e., my cursor keeps changing to an eggtimer and Babble freezes.. going to take a break as it is frustrating, ty for the clues and chat.. poof

12:50 pm

Deeha

I actually meant the animal picture!! Don't know what happened to that ENOURMOUS picture it didn't start off like that I tried to erase it and start again but couldn't do it!!

12:50 pm

MimiCat

Bye, Aloy..sorry about your computer issues.

I am still here. i have 89 to go and this grid is kicking my butt!

4:19 pm

howdy, soodles

4:20 pm

I have 75 to go and my brain is addled

4:20 pm

Soodle

Hello (( Crossy)))

4:21 pm

Soodle

My brain was addled before I even logged on. Lost cause.

4:21 pm

jaxx7

LOL

4:21 pm

crosshair

lol. I feel that way today also. I have no classes now for the next week and i am sure my brain will turn to mush

4:23 pm

Soodle

On the plus side, the first word I found this evening was a 9! Unheard offor me!

4:23 pm

jaxx7

You came to it with a fresh eye

4:23 pm

nice to get the big ones out of the way early

4:24 pm

Heya crossy :) hubby is making his own bacon this week!

4:24 pm

crosshair

howdy jes

4:25 pm

crosshair

mmm, home made bacon....

4:25 pm

jaxx7

hi, Jes

4:25 pm

Soodle

Lol Jaxx. Only one of me eyes is fresh! The other eye is bleary & blotchy!

4:25 pm

crosshair

nothing like doing it up yourself

4:25 pm

jesdraggon

how's it, jaxx?

4:26 pm

jaxx7

Well clearly the clear eye was in control

4:26 pm

jaxx7

I am having a hard time with this grid

4:26 pm

Soodle

I'll probably regret asking this, Jes, but what does making one's own bacon entail?

4:27 pm

jesdraggon

uhm.... well, i don't really know more specifically than raw meat and seasonings and salt. there's a reason I don't do much of the cooking, hah!

4:29 pm

Soodle

Wise woman!

4:29 pm

jesdraggon

heheh. we traded off for a while early in the relationship, and it was really obvious that he's much better in the kitchen than am i.

4:29 pm

jaxx7

I used to make my own salt beef for Christmas but it got too hard to source the saltpetre.

4:30 pm

crosshair

hickory or apple or liquid smoke is also often used alnong with maple

4:30 pm

crosshair

i prefer the hickory/ maple set up for my bacon

4:31 pm

jesdraggon

i don't really like strong maple in my bacon.

4:32 pm

crosshair

then smking the meat with a nice apple wood would be best for you

4:32 pm

crosshair

and just a touch of brown surger to infuse the meat

4:33 pm

crosshair

sugar

4:33 pm

jesdraggon

yup, much yummy

4:34 pm

crosshair

cut thick and seasoned with just a bit of cracked black pepper and baked

4:34 pm

jesdraggon

heheh. yeah, a surger in my breakfast would be suboptimal

4:35 pm

crosshair

a slab of bacon can also be smoked with apple wood trimmings and infused with grade A honey

4:36 pm

crosshair

just for the right blend of sweet and essence of apple

4:36 pm

crosshair

we live in an apple belt here and everyone save the tree trimmings

4:37 pm

bichon

I thought you had given up on bacon crossy?

4:38 pm

crosshair

i am allowed bacon once a week

4:38 pm

jesdraggon

gave up bacon?! whatwhatwhat?

4:39 pm

5:43 pm

Jillyjill

Her anxiety is getting the best of her now; went to her MD appointment. She fell right into a trap...LOL, she was trying to get him to tell her she didn't need to check her BG, told him she can't read it...he told her to have her aid help her, then she turns around and asks if she really needs to use the med box (I set up for her) and he says, well, if you can't see your BGTM you certainly need to use a med box...*chuckles*. HE even put that on her DC paperwork!

5:44 pm

phandmd

good for the doc!

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

On the downside, she has called twice all panicky thinking she was having another stroke, last time with the typical numb around the mouth from hyperventilation, he also agreed on that. Gave her relaxation techniques...of course she brushed those right off..

5:46 pm

Jillyjill

6:57 pm

welki

hi folks

7:01 pm

jesdraggon

en7/56 clue please?

7:02 pm

welki

not on its top, not on its side, not on its bottom + methods

7:03 pm

welki

now that was a crappy clue. how about: not the beginning + carnivals have mid****

7:05 pm

jesdraggon

thankee, welki - i got it from the first clue anyway - not so crappy, i think :)

7:05 pm

welki

how're things, jes - busy, busy, busy?

7:06 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, got my tax note back, and have 5 weeks to come up with $10,000. so that's a thing. but looks like we might have just found a buyer for the truck, which should help a little

7:09 pm

welki

aw, jes, that's horrible. stupid taxes

7:09 pm

rururocks

I'll trade ya jes

7:10 pm

welki

bet you have some serious capital gains, ru

7:11 pm

rururocks

what pisses me off is we pay quarterlies and then still owe a bunch of money in April anyway.. it's just demoralizing

7:12 pm

welki

for us, we pay estimated on 'projected' income based on historical bonuses - feh. have to take care of uncle, whether he's u.s. or canadian

7:13 pm

rururocks

we do too.. but they still get more and more and more

7:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello welk

7:14 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, the reason it's so high this year is the clinic lost money last year, and that's what they estimated for this year based on.

7:14 pm

72 Temple Owl

what's the count for next week?

7:14 pm

welki

no sense complaining. we have it better than most

7:14 pm

rururocks

and as an American citizen .. you watch your tax dollars go to corrupt regimes in the middle east and Africa and Afghanistan and see your government just piss away billions of dollars senselessly .. I want to move out of this country sometimes

7:15 pm

welki

at least five, owl

7:15 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh? will ask via mail

7:15 pm

welki

no you don't, ru. i'd move back in a heartbeat

7:19 pm

7:21 pm

rururocks

7:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

now, min..

7:22 pm

welki

saw a beeeyoootiful merc c63 today - not as fancy as an r8, but lots of hp and you can get it as a convertible

7:23 pm

rururocks

I'm not doing the R8.. I can't justify the gas mileage.. although I really, really want one.. it just doesn't make sense

7:23 pm

welki

19 on the highway, but you have to buy premium

7:24 pm

rururocks

12 around town.. it's nuts

7:24 pm

rururocks

I might as well have a Humvee or bently for that poor of mileage :D

7:24 pm

welki

mmmmmmmm ... bentley

7:25 pm

welki

might as well spring for the aston martin

7:25 pm

rururocks

ha

7:25 pm

rururocks

If I looked like Pierce Bronson I would in a heartbeat :D

7:25 pm

welki

i'm living vicariously through your bank account

7:26 pm

welki

at 120 mph, everyone looks like pierce brosnan

7:26 pm

rururocks

I saw him on a beach in LA once.. I think maybe one of the most handsome men I've ever seen in my life..

7:27 pm

welki

i consider him sort of pretty, but i know what you mean

7:28 pm

rururocks

yes.. he is . I get what you're saying.. but in person he's even more handsome than the screen as hard as that is to believe

7:29 pm

rururocks

If I could look like that for one weekend :D

7:29 pm

welki

i liked him as bond. there are only a couple who, for me, didn't fit the part

7:29 pm

welki

did NOT like timothy dalton (or george lazenby)

7:30 pm

rururocks

Bond to me is Sean Connery.. end of story

7:30 pm

welki

i used to think thoughts like that - if i was thin and beautiful, only for a weekend ... well toots, it ain't gonna happen

7:31 pm

rururocks

yep...

7:31 pm

welki

agreed - but that doesn't stop me from being a bond fan.

7:31 pm

rururocks

where are these words hiding .. jeez

7:31 pm

welki

the 'penultimate' bond :)

7:32 pm

welki

going to make supper - later, folks

Hi Rows. Your name reminds me of a Golden Girls quote.

9:19 pm

Rows

oh?

9:20 pm

Jillyjill

brb

9:20 pm

cosdem

"Hi my name is Rose. Like seats in a movie theater"

9:20 pm

Rows

lol

9:20 pm

Rows

nice

9:20 pm

cosdem

to which dorothy replied "or the flower" and rose goes "oh yeah!"

9:21 pm

Rows

my name is Rose, so that quote is apt

9:21 pm

welki

g'night everyone

9:21 pm

cosdem

lol every time you come in chat I think of that scene. and thank you. i love that scene lol .. gn welki

9:21 pm

Rows

:D

9:21 pm

aebmusica

Hi Rose!

9:21 pm

aebmusica

ayas

9:22 pm

Rows

i have a feeling that all Roses in the world, even if they haven't seen that episode of Golden Girls, has thought of the alternate spellings of our name

9:22 pm

Rows

the funniest was when i worked in my first job in China and they gave me a nametag that said Roes

9:22 pm

Rows

and they honestly thought they had spelled my name right

9:22 pm

Rows

hi aeb :)

9:22 pm

cosdem

I have a great aunt Rose.. I'll have to ask Grandma about that

9:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

night, welk.

9:23 pm

cosdem

Roes? lol .. my name is Howie and my god mother always spells it Howey. Shes my god mother come on!

9:23 pm

Rows

haha

9:23 pm

Rows

yeah i don't know, i don't get it... but i have always been a very detail-oriented person for whom grammar and spelling come easily

9:24 pm

Rows

i have a visual memory when it comes to names

9:24 pm

cosdem

whats worse is my last name is more common as a first name so everyt letter i get from doctors and such greet me with my last name as my first

9:24 pm

mcurlschool

My name is spelled with 2 n's (Marilynn) and people always ask "are you sure?"

9:24 pm

cosdem

annoys me so bad lol

9:24 pm

cosdem

lol oh no mcurl!

9:25 pm

Rows

i got called "Roxanne" by a customer service person today on the phone and that drives me crazy... well my full first name is actually Rosanne, not Rose, so they weren't as far off as you might have been thinking, but still

9:25 pm

mcurlschool

I know, it's kind of funny!

9:25 pm

cosdem

I do have an aunt named Marilyn with one N lol

9:25 pm

Rows

lol, you should say, 'wait, no, let me check my ID card and see...'

9:26 pm

Rows

and see how they react lol

9:26 pm

mcurlschool

I have a sister (we call Roz) whose name is Rosslynn That's always a killer!

9:26 pm

Rows

well almost everyone spells Rosanne wrong, and many say it wrong... it's not a hard name, but it's just not common

9:26 pm

Rows

going by Rose is just a lot easier, plus it suits me better

9:27 pm

mcurlschool

I should say that some time Rows! What gets me is even when I spell it out they still only write 1 N!

9:27 pm

cosdem

I hate my name with a passion but it defines me I think. :P

9:27 pm

Rows

aww cos

9:28 pm

Rows

i like my name Rose, but Rosanne seems unnecessary to me unless it's in conjunction with my middle name

9:28 pm

cosdem

why why why couldnt my middle name be my first lol

9:28 pm

Rows

my middle name is one syllable, so having just Rose in front of it would sound kind of choppy and not very well flowing

9:29 pm

Rows

just odd because no one at all calls me Rosanne, it's just my official name...

9:29 pm

Rows

so like, i got a job offer with a contract that says Rose on it and i'm like... i'm not sure if that should say Rosanne, since that's what my passport says...

9:30 pm

cosdem

oh dont get me started on that.. Howie isnt my formal name and I have to use it on applications ugh.

9:30 pm

cosdem

i mean I have to use Howard

9:31 pm

Rows

yeah

9:31 pm

Jillyjill

so is that the KL job rows?

9:31 pm

Rows

yes, Jill

9:31 pm

Rows

i emailed them last night asking if they might have to correct the name on the contract, but since it's Saturday there now, i'm guessing i'll wait a couple days to hear back

9:31 pm

cosdem

conrgats on the offer!@

9:31 pm

Jillyjill

It sounds good!

9:31 pm

Rows

thank you :)

9:32 pm

Rows

i will probably take this one... just have to sort out summer work to make it work out

9:32 pm

Rows

it does, and they seem to really want to do everything possible to get me to work there

9:32 pm

Rows

they are buying me my flight there, for one thing, which wasn't originally offered and isn't usually offered to teachers

9:33 pm

Jillyjill

Yay!

9:33 pm

cosdem

Im nearing the one year mark at work.. so i know the feeling of a job offer.. enjoy that feeling :)

9:33 pm

Rows

yes, well this one is especially good because of the potential of it being somewhere i stay for a long time... it's a 2 year contract

9:34 pm

cosdem

I hope it works out

9:35 pm

Rows

thanks, me too!
