worzel

the darned thing's in a really playful mood this morning. He's 10 years old and usually sits on his perch waiting for his food and water, but today he was climbing round the cage and when i went to put his food back in he was nipping at me - something he does for fun, little sod! gotta love him lol

3:56 am

grannyrose

sounds too cute...lol

3:58 am

worzel

to be honest he's Di's budgie (well, he was her Mum's til she passed away) but he seems to have adopted me since I moved up here 4 years ago. He doesn't come out of his cage, and seems quite happy to stay in there, but he is a naughty little thing sometimes - even for 10 he's full of life and energy!

4:00 am

grannyrose

yeah. my manary will be 10 next december. they seem to develop little quirks which endear them to you. i never thought i would chat so much about a bird.

worzel

i watched a video online the other day of a tawny owl hanging upside down on an electric wire - it seemed to be quite content to do so for a good 10 minutes. Di was worried about it until i pointed out to her that joey has always hung upside down in his cage so it must just be something they enjoy doing for a laugh!

4:02 am

worzel

7:46 am

josephjames

i tried yeeha but it doesn't work. but now i type it here and it doesn't get a red line

7:53 am

crosshair

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day. Time travel depictions in films and T.V are banned in China.

7:53 am

MollyL

It gets a red line when I type it here, JJ

7:53 am

josephjames

oh why

7:54 am

josephjames

why is time travel in film and tv banned i mean

7:54 am

crosshair

have no idea, joseph. You will have to rresearch it

7:55 am

josephjames

maybe they are really close to making it happen for real and they don't want people to think about it and stop them

7:57 am

josephjames

ok they claim that it "disrespects history"

7:57 am

josephjames

but people say that really, they don't like that chinese people like the idea of getting out of modern china and being happier somewhen else

7:58 am

josephjames

that is interesting thanks crosshair

7:58 am

crosshair

http://tinyurl.com/3uz832z there is some info on it jj

7:59 am

josephjames

with jackie chan's son arrested on drug charges i also learned that you can be executed for some drug trafficking charges there.

7:59 am

MollyL

Oh those lucky Chinese folks. Living where a government squelches the imagination.

8:00 am

crosshair

there are many countries where you do not want to be in possession of drugs because you may never come back

8:01 am

MollyL

I think the Chinese government officials had a big sake party and watched Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure too many times.

8:01 am

crosshair

I think it is saudi Arabia for example has some very,very harsh drinking and driving laws

8:02 am

MollyL

sake = Chinese wine

8:04 am

crosshair

actually it is Japanese in origin and is a rice wine, but sold in many countries. wandering Peddler is a very good brand, if you can find it

8:07 am

rururocks

I think syria has stricter adultry laws

8:07 am

crosshair

though i think it pales beside some of the genocide going on there

8:08 am

rururocks

But the end result is you are stoned in both cases

8:09 am

rururocks

That would be a hard way to go.

8:11 am

8:11 am

crosshair

now, I posted this tidbit last night, but it was late, so I will give this tidbit an encore. This is a short story( just a page or three) that i found yesterday and found it to be one of the most powerful short stories that I have read in a while and I wish to share it with you. http://tinyurl.com/p4m8oxn

8:12 am

rururocks

I read it. It didn't do much for me crossy

8:12 am

8:12 am

crosshair

8:14 am

crosshair

the link works fine, annie but the author is M.J Pack and the story is My Wife Stopped Listening...

8:14 am

rururocks

I am not a writer...so i can't say..but it doesn't seem to be well written to me.

8:14 am

Anniebrook

thanks, crossy, will read it later

8:15 am

crosshair

it is a unpolished copy to be sure so just read it for what it is and do not tear it apart too badly

8:15 am

Anniebrook

do you write under another name?

8:16 am

crosshair

I have been wading through so many rough copies of other peoples works that unpolished does not bother me any more. i just pick out the gems

8:16 am

crosshair

Me? No Annie. i write under my own...for now

8:16 am

Anniebrook

We have our local Scottish-Irish festival here but it's more about highland games and I may not go...of course looking at incredible hunky guys in kilts...

3:59 pm

jaxx7

We had another meeting with the SS last Tuesday. You will be amazed to know that chickens are dangerous. My house is hygienic but cluttered which is a hazard to Ashley. I am sick of criticism, to be honest.

3:59 pm

Soodle

Oooooh. Men in kilts. Slobber....

3:59 pm

Of course, shapely calves are your thing.

it wasn't all bad news. I started to sort out my mum's photos. There were all sorts of treasures under the pics. My great Aunt Louie's autograph album, given to her at Xmas 1918. I found a beautiful cameo which I have given to Jess. It was set in a solid silver frame on a silver chain. I must admit I got sidetracked.

"howdy, jaxx: whats new and exciting?

4:51 pm

jaxx7

More treasures. I am tipsy so my messages aren't very coherent. Blame Somerset Cider

4:51 pm

jaxx7

Good job the SS aren't here!

4:53 pm

crosshair

your tipsy typing looks like my normal typing, so I am sure it shall not be a problem:)

4:54 pm

crosshair

ss indeed... all they need are brown shirts...

4:55 pm

jaxx7

Ah, yes but my brain is befuddled

4:56 pm

crosshair

That is ok. I shall be kind, attentive and gentle with your befuddled brain:)

4:56 pm

stidgmere

Hello. Here in the blue-skied Northwest, I have one word left and realize the sp 6, 24 is eluding me. Any clues?

4:57 pm

crosshair

a day resort where you go to unwind+ 3 letter laughing word

4:57 pm

jaxx7

Thanks you. I have found some more treasures this pm. A lovely pic of my mother at 16.

4:58 pm

stidgmere

ty crossy. new word for me but fit the grid!! Fireworks on this quick griddle.

4:58 pm

jaxx7

Sp * first vowel and first part of giggle

4:59 pm

jaxx7

Does that make sense?

4:59 pm

jaxx7

Sp + first vowel

4:59 pm

stidgmere

ty jaxx. How nice to find a new picture of your mother. My mother is working overtime for us in heaven. I know she is helping our lives to reach fulfillment. Nice to have friends (relatives) in high places.

5:00 pm

jaxx7

Then turn direct left for a consonant and then double vowel

5:01 pm

crosshair

treasure those pictures jaxx. Due to various circumstances, we have pics of my mum from 1963 up till 1972 but all the other were lost and we have a single pic of her in 1990 just before her passing in 1991... no others. sometimes things get lost to time and circumstance:(

5:03 pm

jaxx7

My mother is also in heaven. I have been turning out the boxes that the Social Services think are hazardous for my grandson. I am afraid that the turfing out process has been delayed by all the treasures.

5:03 pm

crosshair

so they are making you re-do your entire home and how you store things.. how lovely:(

5:04 pm

jaxx7

Tomorrow the recycling centre.

5:04 pm

crosshair

soon they will order you what to cook each night i imagine

5:05 pm

jaxx7

My home is hygienic but cluttered apparently. The chickens are a hazard. I fully expect them to say that I too am a hazard as I am no longer 21

5:05 pm

crosshair

but now is not the time to bring you down with idiocies of the SS.

5:07 pm

jaxx7

yes, but The corporal is impressed with the way we include Ashley in so many activities.

5:08 pm

crosshair

I wish you a speedy trip to get their case file on you and your family closed

5:08 pm

jaxx7

I am determined they will not touch my books

5:08 pm

jaxx7

We have meetings arranged fortnightly until Nov 4th

5:09 pm

crosshair

Many people have lots of books. Do not let them browbreat you into getting rid of all the things you love because of some orwellian ideal they have in some book somewhere they use as a guide too all things perfect

5:10 pm

crosshair

remember when I told you that they wanted me to get rid of our cats when our son was young?? Our son is now 21... and we still have the cats

5:10 pm

stidgmere

This sounds like some sort of a very bad plot from an old movie. My best to you jaxx7 as you straighten things out.

5:10 pm

jaxx7

To be honest We feel like criminals already and all we have tried to do is make sure that our daughter's poor parenting skills do not adversely affect Ash or Jess.

5:11 pm

crosshair

No good deed ever goes unpunished:(

5:12 pm

jaxx7

We have succeeded with Jess and Ashley is well on the way to being the same. The only problem is, like his mother, Ashley lies and tells the tale so often he believes it himself.

5:16 pm

jaxx7

He went home about a month ago. Finding his mum was busy he went out to play (or so he said) We thought he was at home when in fact he was playing chicken on a busy main road. A lady rescued him and took him into the hospital which was nearby. He told the nurses that he did not know his name or where he lived!!!! On further questioning he said he remembered a phone no. They rang us and we went to collect him and take him home. This on the very day the SS had insisted we meet with them as Ashley was in danger.

5:18 pm

crosshair

All I can say is that in the last 20 years here the school system in conjunction with the govt has created a nanny province where the teachers and the board of education decide how you are to raise your kids. I am very glad we made it through relatively unscathed. We once had our son go across a busy road and hide in a ditch from us. he thought it was a fun game of hide and seek(he was 6 at the time)

5:20 pm

jaxx7

What can you do, though, with a child that says 'so what' when we remonstrate with him. hey, I shall have to imbibe cider more often. My vocab has improved.

5:21 pm

crosshair

see? In the old days, the neighbour would of brought the child home. made him some soup and grilled cheese and found out where the child lived an and had him returned. Now everyone called hospitals, pilice and childrens aid in a knee-jerk reaction. Nobody wants to get involved anymore on a personal level

5:21 pm

crosshair

police

5:21 pm

crosshair

my typing also improves after a vodka or three

5:23 pm

crosshair

they say "so what" now because they know they can have childrens aid haul you in if you try and spank then and they are given all the information they need at school

5:23 pm

jaxx7

Now all I have to do is write down a chronology for the last 12 years. I can't recall what happened last year.

5:24 pm

jaxx7

They are getting the three os to do this so they can compare the facts and prove us all liars

5:25 pm

jaxx7

of us even

5:26 pm

crosshair

good grief...

5:28 pm

jaxx7

Exactly. Julie wanted to take Ashley and run. perhaps she had the right idea.

5:30 pm

crosshair

so, mum cannot raise the child, the ss do not want you raising the child. You would think they would realize that you offering to step in is a golden chance for the child to have a somewhat normal life and not turn it into the balls-up it has become

5:31 pm

jaxx7

The meeting last Tuesday was supposed to be for at least 10 people. Only 4 turned up and we were three of them.

5:32 pm

crosshair

so, a total lack of interest on the other end of things

5:32 pm

crosshair

:(

5:33 pm

jaxx7

Don't forget the unannounced visits between the arranged ones.

5:34 pm

crosshair

Big Brother is always watching.

5:35 pm

jaxx7
