12:53 am

saanichcat

Hello there rose!

12:53 am

rururocks

how are you at walking and chewing gum pini :D

12:54 am

VYCanisMajoris

Bet the act of being "polite" and anything but your real self is tiring once in awhile. Note the word "act".

12:54 am

dizgrannie

does anyone have more than 2 ox's

12:55 am

Pinikula

grannyrose

1:07 am

dizgrannie

Pinikula

Oh, when our faculty level is full, we have 6 on board, right now we have 2, 2 visiting profs, 4 adjuncts, 10 new grad students, an active search, a promotion case, a new website, etc....

1:08 am

grannyrose

looking for hen's teeth here

1:08 am

grannyrose

egad, pini. i would go spare!!

1:09 am

Pinikula

...sometimes my brain just fades...

1:10 am

Pinikula

(what does "go spare" mean? -- an aussie term?)

1:11 am

Lizlin

"Go spare" is also used in the UK. Means tear your hair out!

1:11 am

grannyrose

go spare....lose the plot....not be able to make sense of anything.

1:11 am

Pinikula

gotcha...yep...that's me!!! LOL

1:11 am

Lizlin

Hit the wall with this - 61 left!

1:12 am

Pinikula

Good to know you have them too, Rose!

1:26 am

VYCanisMajoris

It's quite clear where your ego comes from, gremlinn

1:27 am

grannyrose

grem...* looking a little puzzled * you finished ?

1:27 am

gremlinn

a while ago, yes

1:28 am

grannyrose

WTG GREMLINN!!!!

1:28 am

rururocks

vy are you normally obnoxious or do you have to work at it

1:28 am

Pinikula

grem is our hero, rose! :)

1:28 am

VYCanisMajoris

Just stating the truth.

1:28 am

dizgrannie

VY, do you have a problem with the chat??

1:28 am

grannyrose

sure is, pini

1:28 am

VYCanisMajoris

I have a problem with this cesspool of egotism.

1:29 am

VYCanisMajoris

Each and every one of you.

1:29 am

Pinikula

speaking from self experience, vy?

1:29 am

gremlinn

If you had a problem with the politics chat from earlier, can we just let it go? Otherwise, I don't know what you're getting at

1:29 am

torgone

Then. Go. Away.

1:31 am

VYCanisMajoris

Is there a way to turn off chat?

1:31 am

Pinikula

Yeah, leave the game.

1:31 am

gremlinn

Click the "My Friends" tab and it hides chat.

1:31 am

grannyrose

grem, can you list the p's please?

1:31 am

VYCanisMajoris

But I choose to play it

1:31 am

rururocks

yes. click on the word ballon at the top

1:31 am

VYCanisMajoris

Sufficient. Thank you.

1:32 am

VYCanisMajoris

Ruru, see? I said thank you.

1:32 am

rururocks

very good.. keep it up.. it will help you in life

1:32 am

Pinikula

wow

1:32 am

VYCanisMajoris

In the end it really doesn't matter, but you hide behind this pretense of being someone youre not all day

1:33 am

gremlinn

pa: 45654564564545545545456 // pe: 454476 // pi: 44645565 // po: 475

1:33 am

VYCanisMajoris

that is, someone who mindless spews social etiquette and whatever else is needed to keep yourself afloat in society

1:33 am

rururocks

weren't you turning off the chat vy.

1:33 am

saanichcat

you are boring me

1:34 am

Pinikula

You know, you're the only one that has been rude since I arrived awhile ago...I haven't heard anyone say anything rude to anyone else except you...and I've known the others for a long time...what's your problem? just curious?

1:34 am

gremlinn

He's the type who always needs the last word, I think.

1:34 am

VYCanisMajoris

Soon, I need to get more off my chest here that I'm not allowed to anywhere else

1:34 am

VYCanisMajoris

Congrats Grem for not relying on anything to solve this! I bet it felt good typing it and abated your ever enormous ego!

1:35 am

saanichcat

if you can't say it elsewhere don't say it here please

1:35 am

SueMagee

Morning, everyone. Could someone give me a clue for the A and the E on the bottom line please?

1:35 am

Pinikula

nm...you're not worth engaging - you're just out to annoy...so *ignore*

1:35 am

VYCanisMajoris

Im safe behind a computer!

1:35 am

joym999

gremlinn, pinikula, I think you're feeding a troll. If you stop it'll get tired and go away.

1:35 am

gremlinn

Correction: pa: 456545645645455455545456

1:35 am

dizgrannie

OMG what a piece of trash is Vy

1:35 am

Pinikula

thx joy...noted :)

1:36 am

saanichcat

we will get him evicted

1:36 am

Lizlin

Agree with joy

1:36 am

saanichcat

"thrown off the island"

1:36 am

VYCanisMajoris

Next up, you old ladies

1:36 am

gremlinn

Ack. Third try? 456545645645455455545456

1:37 am

VYCanisMajoris

I know, everything you say is nice to one another and appears nice on first glance, but I have seen first hand in real life that most of it is an act

1:37 am

VYCanisMajoris

This lady I played at the scrabble club with isn't anything like what she is when she is with people.

1:38 am

gremlinn

I've had a couple positive experiences with real-life meetups with communities I've known online to start.

1:38 am

VYCanisMajoris

Which entails a lot of etiquette, feigned nicety, etc. etc. This is where your ego comes from, ladies.

1:38 am

gremlinn

Don't generalize based on your personal experience, please

1:38 am

VYCanisMajoris

And frankly, I'm sick of reading and living the same bull crap everywhere I go in life.

1:39 am

VYCanisMajoris

You people and your ego which I will never understand is the reason I am so miserable.

1:40 am

VYCanisMajoris

You impose your values on everyone else and without even knowing it, indoctrinate your children, family and friends to behave a certain way

1:40 am

VYCanisMajoris

Which, truthfully, is mindless. You pretend everything is normal day in and day out without even considering for a moment how screwed up everyone and everything is

1:41 am

VYCanisMajoris

Gremlinn, at this point I'm willing to say that it's not a generalization. Everyone does this.

1:42 am

Pinikula

I have 1 "I" from the lower right...(im5)...what's the other? plz/thx

1:42 am

gremlinn

To think, I almost retracted calling you a troll earlier.

1:42 am

kalea

I saw a delightful movie tonight..the 100 Foot Journey.........I highly recommend it to you all

1:42 am

saanichcat

vy, what drew you to the babble site? Do you like word puzzles?

1:42 am

gremlinn

im4, a silly one

1:43 am

saanichcat

congrat on finishing grenlinn, am awed

1:43 am

VYCanisMajoris

I like the day-long aspect of it. I despise the chat from which a community was built to exchange pointless banter and etiquette about nothing

1:43 am

gremlinn

Well, good thing you know how to hide it now. Bye!

1:43 am

torgone

Then. Go. Away.

1:44 am

saanichcat

but you can always block out the chat

1:44 am

rururocks

there's always therapy to help you VY

1:44 am

sammysmom

mhhhhhhhhhhhh sound like me all right... i have been imposing my values and indoctrinating my children and grandchildred for 56 years and they have listened and done well ..........'courrse if they HADN"T listened to mama i would have KICKED ass

1:45 am

VYCanisMajoris

Ah, ruru, but isn't that true? Of course you would recommend that, as everyone else I have talked to has. The fact is, and despite the way I feel when I'm around people, I'm actually very happy when I'm alone.

1:45 am

VYCanisMajoris

Its an interesting paradox that the people who recommend therapy are the ones that need it themselves.

1:46 am

rururocks

then consider living in the desert vy

1:46 am

saanichcat

stats please on that

1:46 am

VYCanisMajoris

How old are you ruru?

1:46 am

rururocks

that's none of your concern

1:46 am

rururocks

but certainly older than you

1:46 am

Pinikula

If you feel better when alone, then consider closing the chat and allow the rest of us to enjoy the game and chat

1:47 am

VYCanisMajoris

I'm interested in knowing. You're willing to admit your gender and country, why not your age?

1:47 am

dizgrannie

saan im 4/6

1:48 am

Pinikula

I finally got the im4!!! YEAH!!! Took all the bananas I could muster! :)

1:48 am

torgone

Orange alert

1:48 am

VYCanisMajoris

Is it not proper etiquette to ask a boy how old they are as well as a girl now?

1:49 am

sprite

good morning all

1:49 am

saanichcat

diz I was asking our guest here to provide stats for a sweeping illogical statement he mede

1:49 am

sammysmom

hi sprite

1:49 am

Pinikula

morning sprite :)

1:49 am

VYCanisMajoris

Saan, notice how I said paradox.

1:49 am

saanichcat

heelo sprite!

1:49 am

torgone

Heya sprite ..

1:50 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} sprite. lovely to see you, dear

1:50 am

gremlinn

Clever, paradox was a phantom too.

1:50 am

sprite

*hugs* rose, hi torg and saan and pini and smom! How are you all?

1:50 am

VYCanisMajoris

I maybe should have made an alternative word for paradox in that context because it's not actually a paradox, but a reversal of it

1:51 am

gremlinn

"Irony" might work.

1:51 am

gremlinn

That's a common pitfall word in usage though.

1:52 am

VYCanisMajoris

Anyway, continue with your day, folks. I just wanted to say that your egos are... beautiful. And that things will get better when you finally get sick of this facade and start yourselves anew

1:52 am

saanichcat

I'm just fine, you sprite?

1:52 am

VYCanisMajoris

As per social etiquette my departure is: Bye!

1:52 am

Pinikula

...and we'd all be better off if you made better personal choices!

1:53 am

Pinikula

*sigh of relief*

1:53 am

sprite

am fine! Feeling good and going strong here. Good to hear you are fine too :)

1:53 am

torgone

We are so blessed!

1:54 am

grannyrose

yay sprite. nice to hear that, dear

1:54 am

Pinikula

...and in the midst of all that I was able to land 21 more words! :)

1:54 am

sprite

how about you, rose?

1:54 am

Dianne

Rose, check your email.

1:54 am

gremlinn

now that's concentration

1:54 am

grannyrose

done and responded dianne

1:55 am

sprite

you all know that if you want to make a troll go away, you really have to stop feeding it, right? Just a full ignore?

1:55 am

jeanne314

Who is this person (?) who has just spewed such misanthropic vomit on this chat log?

1:55 am

Pinikula

Not so sure about that, Grem...but was rather perplexed...

1:55 am

Pinikula

I know, Sprite...I tried! :) ...no idea, jeanne...

6:41 am

6:44 am

jacq

yes joseph, not because of some daft patriotism, to start with i wasa a No, i couldn't see how we could be better on out own but now, with all the threats from Westminster and all the daft lies floating about, the promises of things they could have given is two or three years ago, I am a yes, simply because i know we will thrive as an independant nation, just as the USA thrived, but if the vote goes to a NO then westminster will punish us as a nation because of the audacity of demanding a referendum, they punished us in the 70's, but the thing is that nobody will care or intervene, we will be stripped of even more

6:45 am

josephjames

interesting

6:45 am

jacq

sorry that was a bit soap boxy lol

6:46 am

josephjames

i don't know what you wear in tahiti other than bathing suits

6:46 am

grannyrose

nice to have it from the horse's mouth so to speak. we only see/hear what is on the tv and in the newspapers.

6:46 am

crosshair

not at all jacq. it is good to hear things from an inside perspective and not some filtered half-truths that hit our news after it has been altered 100 times

6:46 am

crosshair

6:46 am

grannyrose

lol, snap crossy

6:47 am

7:06 am

periwinkle

no lickety

7:06 am

periwinkle

sometimes he does come on later in the day but by then lots are finished or given up.

7:07 am

periwinkle

I really appreciate lickety whenever he arrives

7:07 am

sukee

I haven't even been checking lickety lately

7:07 am

crosshair

Been so long since I have gotten down to 25 words that Lickety or the lack of lickety has been a non-issue for me for a long time:(

7:07 am

grannyrose

peri, list in gremlinn's profile, which molly has copied into her profile

7:07 am

sukee

of course, haven't been finishing them lately either :)

7:07 am

oh ty rose

7:07 am

lol, you and me crossy :)

7:07 am

periwinkle

that will help

7:07 am

grannyrose

g'day sukee

7:08 am

crosshair

like peas and carrots sukee:)

7:08 am

sukee

Hi Rose, hi all

7:08 am

sukee

Since I started this poetry course I have a little less free time

7:09 am

crosshair

I have some poetry assignments in my writers craft course, but I will steer clear of them if i get the option. I have don other more appealing assignments., though I do have my own poetry on poetry.com

7:10 am

crosshair

done

7:10 am

sukee

I even have to write an essays close reading an Emily Dickinson poem

7:10 am

sukee

I'll find out which one today.

7:11 am

crosshair

I find the way the text book tears it down and does an autopsy on it kind of takes the magic away for me

7:11 am

sukee

Sometimes it does

7:12 am

sukee

That is why I quit studying comparative literature, I felt people put too much meaning into some things

7:13 am

crosshair

When I write them, I write them from a spark within me and not to form it to some chart that says it must be laid out in this precise way:)

7:13 am

periwinkle

70 left, bbl. doing laundry, etc

7:13 am

crosshair

ugh.. please do not say laundry...

7:13 am

sukee

Any way, even though I write part time for a living I am nervous about the essay. It is accessed by your classmates.

7:14 am

crosshair

yes.. sometimes a cigar is just a cigar lol

7:14 am

sukee

:)

7:14 am

sukee

Anyway, how is your weather. It's 3 here, even my blanket could not keep me warm last night.

7:15 am

crosshair

ahh yes, the peer review tear-down. you open up a vein, hold it over the page and bleed your heart out and some classmate dissects it, rolls it in mud, derrides it then with a great big smile hands it back to you:/

7:15 am

crosshair

was 6c last night and I have the heat on for the first time

7:15 am

sukee

I am enjoying the course though, feels like a regular university poetry course.

7:16 am

sukee

I have to wait until the building puts the heat on, which is usually early October.

7:16 am

MimiCat

In my opinion, the biggest mistake people make during peer review is giving too much weight to other people's opinions. I write for ME and if others like it, great, but if not, I'm still writing.

7:16 am

crosshair

Mine is a University writers craft course, so I know exactly what you are going through, sukee

7:17 am

sukee

Yes, it's not like there is a grade, you just complete everything and get a certificate whatever.

7:17 am

MimiCat

I use the constructive comments and just mentally discard criticism for criticism's sake.

7:17 am

crosshair

((mimi)) yes, outside of class you can write just for you or one person, but in the class it does not pan, the rubrics they use for the marking does not allow such parameters

7:18 am

sukee

I also have to critique too, I guess it's just commenting on their reading of the poem.

7:18 am

crosshair

mine has a grade level and a marking schedule

7:18 am

sukee

I've also signed up to take a Shakespeare course next month, at another site, still free.

7:19 am

crosshair

as a writer you do need to grow a tick skin:)

7:19 am

crosshair

thick

7:19 am

MimiCat

I do write differently now that I've "matured." I can go a bit outside myself and look at what I'm writing from someone else's perspective. That helps.

7:19 am

crosshair

you are brave sukee

7:19 am

crosshair

I passed on the bard

7:19 am

sukee

You sure do, I see what is written on Facebook under links to New Yorker and other magazines.

7:19 am

MimiCat

Love Shakespeare...especially the comedies.

7:20 am

sukee

The course is Shakespeare on the page and in film so it looks like fun

7:20 am

sukee

I love Shakespeare, I even have a book collection and a Shakespeare doll :)

7:20 am

sukee

I have a copy of his comedies from the late 1900s

7:20 am

crosshair

I think I move on to op-ed pieces next week

7:20 am

sukee

Op-ed is fun

7:21 am

MimiCat

I was really weird in high school...I read much of Shakespeare in the summer between my Freshman and Sophomore years....peers really thought that was strange.

7:21 am

crosshair

It looks fun:)

7:21 am

Anniebrook

I have a set of shakespeare. 4 leather bound books. once owned by r. j. hopwood, signed April, 1889.

7:22 am

crosshair

very nice set to have annie

7:22 am

sukee

Lovely. And, I have the complete works of Shakespeare on my Kindle :)

7:22 am

crosshair

ahhh.. that old book smell:))

7:22 am

Anniebrook

yes, it is. found it in a barn in maine about 40 years ago. paid $4. for the set.

7:22 am

MimiCat

I'm trying to convince myself to look into the kindle...hard transition for me.

7:22 am

sukee

The old book I have has a lovely binding and the paper is still in good shape.

7:23 am

sukee

I have 3 bookcases of books too :) I do admit I haven't bought a print book in several years.

7:23 am

JesDreher

thanks

MimiCat

The thing that appeals to me about that mode is that it has its own light source...good for reading in bed...right?

7:24 am

crosshair

I just have no more room for print books! My livingroom would have to be turned into a library

7:25 am

Anniebrook

great for reading in bed

7:25 am

crosshair

great for reading in bed mimi

7:25 am

sukee

Well, I have the 2nd generation Kindle with no back lighting, but looks like regular print. But, I still read in bed.

7:25 am

crosshair

I have a nook HD reader. sadly they no longer make them

7:25 am

sukee

I also read on my iPad when I download books from the library. Just read Breakfast at Tiffany's after all these years of loving the movie.

7:26 am

MimiCat

And you can access lots of material easily, right?

7:26 am

crosshair

oh yes, mimi. I have 225 books on my reader now

7:26 am

MimiCat

Whoa! OK...must seriously consider it.

7:27 am

sukee

Well, you can load your own books and get them from various sources. It's only automatic through Amazon. But, I have the Calibri program that allows you to convert and add any books to the Kindle.

7:27 am

crosshair

It is a learning curve. the first two weeks will be odd, then after a bit you will wonder how you ever managed without it

7:27 am

crosshair

Calibre is an amazing program

7:28 am

MimiCat

....just like the computer!

7:28 am

crosshair

cough...bookzz.org..cough...

7:28 am

crosshair

mm, computer is acting up again;))

7:28 am

sukee

Hmm, I'll check that one out. Pixel of Ink is a good source too, they link to free books on Amazon.

7:29 am

MimiCat

((crossy)) That cleaner program you sent me worked great in stopping my browser freezing! Thanks so much.

7:29 am

sukee

You can download from Gutenburg to, I got a whole series of the Fairy books :)

crosshair

7:33 am

sukee

Well, I will go see what is for breakfast.

pekoe cross?

8:28 am

crosshair

n the tea industry, tea leaf grading is the process of evaluating products based on the quality and condition of the tea leaves themselves. The highest grades are referred to as "orange pekoe", and the lowest as "fannings" or "dust".

8:28 am

crosshair

had to hit wiki for that:)

8:29 am

MLFAN17

cool

8:29 am

crosshair

Orange pekoe is referred to as "OP". The grading scheme also contains categories higher than OP, which are determined primarily by leaf wholeness and size.[1][2]

Molls, did you see my "cheers"?

11:09 am

rururocks

oh.. you read that molly?

11:10 am

MollyL

It had the makings of a good discussion before it got silly.

11:10 am

MollyL

Cheers, Peri

11:11 am

rururocks

yes.. couldn't figure out if it was a snotty teenager or a pissy old adult

11:11 am

rururocks

emphasis on it

11:11 am

MollyL

I find political discussion very interesting. But someone usually starts complaining when they happen here.

11:13 am

rururocks

me too.. and I understand the concept.. that was pointed out.. but I think I've gotten more conservative in the last few years since 9/11.

11:13 am

penquis

going to get something to eat....bbl to finish...

11:13 am

rururocks

there were immediate complaints molly

11:15 am

MollyL

Well, I don't think chat need always be the sea of tranquility. That's why we have booze, Xanax and hot tea.

11:16 am

rururocks

yeah.. it was interesting.. until it turned nasty.. some old bad blood I think there

11:16 am

crosshair

over here with the booze please!

11:17 am

Dorens

I see nothing wrong with politics; we are certainly all entitled to state our opinions. Just shouldn't have to get nasty, and I don't know why that seems to happen.

11:17 am

periwinkle

dibs on the gin :)

11:17 am

MollyL

Political philosophy is interesting, but rarely gets put into practice correctly.

11:17 am

periwinkle

may be this is the wrong place to discuss politics

11:17 am

crosshair

gin is all yours, I shall take the vodka

11:18 am

periwinkle

I like vodka too ;)

11:18 am

periwinkle

but prefer the taste of gin

11:18 am

MollyL

And I agree Dorens, we are all entitled to state our opinion. But there are those who think otherwise and that is where the problems erupt.

11:19 am

periwinkle

this is not a political forum, it is just a game. personally I don't care what anyone talks about. If I don't like it I just close the chat

11:19 am

rururocks

there you go peri

11:20 am

crosshair

yup. the chat has an "off" button

11:20 am

MollyL

Peri, this is not a "physical ailments" forum either. But they get discussed a lot. And you are right. If you don't like what is being discussed, you are free to turn off the chat.

11:20 am

rururocks

I think if a discussion is underway.. one doesn't try to stop it .. just turn off the chat

11:20 am

periwinkle

I agree re physical ailments

11:20 am

crosshair

darn, and I was going to talk about my spleen...

11:21 am

periwinkle

rururocks

ah crossy.. you're probably just kidneying

11:21 am

11:22 am

Rodney, eat your heart out

11:23 am

rururocks

good morning Doren

11:23 am

crosshair

I just glance sideways at the grid once in a while so it does not sense my fear

11:23 am

MollyL

I turn off a lot of conversations here, Especially the ones about people's bathroom habits.

11:24 am

crosshair

then I go in, snipe a word or two, then a quick retreat

11:25 am

rururocks

there are lots of conversations here that are annoying.. but you can disregard them, or turn it off, but to direct the flow of the chat .. nah. I don't think so.

11:27 am

crosshair

chat is like a large river, you can toss boulders in to mess with the flow, but in the end it will still go to the sea:).. hey, that is good. i should write that down:)

11:28 am

MollyL

The only time I have ever objected to chat here is when it was openly disparaging of a poster. That, I will feel free to speak out against.

11:29 am

rururocks

that's been more than once molly

11:37 am

rururocks

did everyone turn off the chat?

11:37 am

Dorens

I really enjoy first dates. It's the 'gobshitery ' that follows that annoys me.

4:42 pm

crosshair

love the term "gobshitery" :)

4:44 pm

cybernan

down to 50 and stuck -- think that's going to be enough for me. See you tomorrow :-)

4:44 pm

MollyL

That comment reminds me of what a friend of mine says..."My relationships are an endless string of beginnings"

4:45 pm

crosshair

Of course first dates are fun. That's where all the bling is. The flowers, the fancy dinner, dressed to the nines and on his best behaviour.

4:48 pm

redshoes

=P =P =P
That's how I feel right now. ;D

4:49 pm

crosshair

lol

4:50 pm

redshoes

Took me a bit to figure out Lickety's Clues weren't up. I thought I was doing something wrong...you know, per usual. :)

4:51 pm

crosshair

i rarely get a chance to use Lickety's anyways

4:51 pm

redshoes

Apparently, I need to start dating Canadian men. My dates usually take me for tacos or a walk in the park. Granted, it IS my favorite restaurant and I do like sandwiches in the park.

4:52 pm

crosshair

lol@ someone having the nerve to do a taco date

4:53 pm

crosshair

walk=free tacos =99cents each..biiig spenders lol

4:53 pm

redshoes

They're my favorite. I have actually gone on several dates there. AND when guys have wanted to take me somewhere else, they have almost all chosen the same place that happens to be one I don't care for at all!

4:54 pm

Jellen

Help! Oh, hello... :)

4:54 pm

crosshair

howdy jellen

4:54 pm

redshoes

Let him pursue me for free and then bank roll me the rest of his life. ;)

4:54 pm

crosshair

I asked my mrs what her favorite food was beforehand:)

4:54 pm

Jellen

lol redshoes...

4:54 pm

redshoes

That's not how it usually works, is it?

4:55 pm

Soodle

For me, the 'gobshitery' begins when he thinks that it's OK to fart in my presence.

4:55 pm

crosshair

worked for me. No mistakes and she had her steak:)

4:55 pm

redshoes

Tacos ARE my favorite food. Well, technically, nachos...and I have my own technique.

4:55 pm

crosshair

we had a taco bell here once. it failed after a year or so along with the burger king

4:56 pm

Jellen

Idk. The guy that took me for the nicest first date turned out to be poor...blew a lot of money he shouldn't have to impress me.

4:56 pm

redshoes

Steak is about the one fancy food I always enjoy. Otherwise, I have pretty specific and/or plain tastes.

4:56 pm

crosshair

Nothing is finer than a good steak prepared properly

4:56 pm

redshoes

SEEE??? I don't want a guy to think he's got to break the bank for me. It's not about that.

4:57 pm

Jellen

Exactly.

4:57 pm

crosshair

lol, I my beloved had been in it for the money, I would of been on the curb long ago;)

4:57 pm

redshoes

Oh...this is NOT Taco Bell. It's fresh, homemade, local, build-a-taco style. There are lines around the building at times.

4:57 pm

crosshair

if

4:58 pm

crosshair

ahh ok. We do not have proper taco places here.

4:58 pm

MollyL

From what I've heard, there is not much ethnic food in Canada. Especially good Mexican.

4:59 pm

crosshair

closest I can come is a flaming fajita place that does a nice job and brings it all to your table on hot stones and flames things at your table

4:59 pm

redshoes

Ahhh...well then of course he has to go for big guns. And probably something warm too. Brrrrr

4:59 pm

crosshair

Not much call for mexican food...

5:00 pm

crosshair

though for some reason there are a lot of thai places

5:00 pm

crosshair

and sushi bars..

5:01 pm

redshoes

I can understand sushi, actually, for some reason. Thai food is just everywhere, and I'm OK with that.

5:01 pm

crosshair

We have a sushi and martini bar that I have always wanted to check out, but I better take a cab if i am guzzling martini's all night

5:01 pm

Jellen

That's it...now I'm hungry. brb

5:02 pm

redshoes

me too. nom nom nom

5:03 pm

crosshair

a tad peckish myself

5:03 pm

redshoes

Especially with sushi, crossy. Not much there to soak up the sop.

5:04 pm

crosshair

looks like one of those executive three martini nibble on a bit of sushi-for lunch places:)

5:06 pm

redshoes

I've never had the pleasure.

5:06 pm

crosshair

We have a good family run steak place, and a good corned beef deli place. That is all i need... oh and a place that does great Chinese take-out

5:07 pm

redshoes

Nice. I get the Sweet and Sour Chicken without the sauce and call it my Chinese Chicken Nuggets.

5:07 pm

crosshair

mmm, I get the beef and greens with veggies and almonds and some veggie fried rice

5:08 pm

redshoes

Y'all, I am nervous. I've been out of an office for a year, but I picked up a freelance gig that's full time in an office for 7-8 weeks and it's kind of freaking me out!

5:08 pm

crosshair

and when splurging some of those breaded jumbo tiger shrimp

5:08 pm

redshoes

I start tomorrow.

5:08 pm

crosshair

you will do fine. it will all come back

5:09 pm

crosshair

I have an interview tomorrow as well after a year off

5:09 pm

MollyL

Office environments are hotbeds of psychosis. Good luck.

5:09 pm

redshoes

Yeah...I just don't want it to. :) I like working on my own. I'm NOT good with clock-punching.

5:09 pm

redshoes

Thanks for the pep-talk Molly. Ha!

5:09 pm

crosshair

well, it is a short stint. 8 weeks

5:10 pm

crosshair

Lord save me from ever working in an office:)

5:11 pm

redshoes

I've found that the only time my integrity slips is when I have to be on a clock just because. I like the work. I can do work. I can put in the time. Just pay me what it's worth and let me do something productive with the rest of my time. :P

5:11 pm

crosshair

Would be good if they had a diagram on the front door laying out the actual pecking order as well as what people think is the pecking order lol

5:13 pm

crosshair

You should come with me and repair water meters, Redshoes. it is piecework. go as fast or slow as you wish:)

5:16 pm

redshoes

Uhhhh...no thanks. I prefer writing, editing, and consulting. Livin' the dream.

5:16 pm

Jellen

Back with sustenance. Good luck redshoes!

5:17 pm

redshoes

Thanks!

5:17 pm

crosshair

I am still writing my book on the side:) it will be a masterpiece!

5:17 pm

crosshair

ohh, whats for din-dins jellen?

5:18 pm

crosshair

I must get in that kitchen soon and rattle some pans:(

5:18 pm

Jellen

Um, a cheese sandwich. Cupboards kinda bare.

5:18 pm

redshoes

But I get paid to write things outright. It's nice.

5:19 pm

crosshair

Yes it is nice when you can do small stuff for mags or web sites and get that fast cash and instant gratification. But here are 100 wanna-be scribes for every slot like that:(

5:20 pm

crosshair

there*

5:20 pm

redshoes

I've been working freelance full time the past few months. Even this gig is freelance.

5:20 pm

crosshair

I would kill to take over CNN's copy room . i think the guy they have in there is dead.

5:21 pm

5:23 pm

crosshair

I swear they print anything now without looking it over for readability

5:23 pm

MollyL

Red, jokes often wither up and die in here.

5:25 pm

Jellen

Hoorah! NBT! I'm meeting my goals today...

5:26 pm

crosshair

When is the big day for Scotland's vote?

5:26 pm

crosshair

5:26 pm

Jellen

Thank you, crossy!

5:28 pm

redshoes

hehehehe...food time!

5:29 pm

Soodle

I think Thursday is D Day for the Scots.

5:30 pm

Jellen

Yes, Thursday. Just googled it.

5:30 pm

Soodle

Hey Jellen ((())) :-)

5:31 pm

MollyL

I wish them well in Scotland. It's way past time for this.

5:31 pm

Jellen

Hello Soodle!

5:32 pm

Soodle

Well, the Irish did it in 1922 - no reason why Scotland can't do it!

5:34 pm

MollyL

I hope they all wear blue and white face paint to the polls.

5:34 pm

Jellen

It would be nice to see the men in kilts... ;)

5:35 pm

Soodle

And those sexy Mel Gibson mini skirts...

5:35 pm

Jellen

lol

5:37 pm

Soodle

Now that I think about it, I'd tolerate a fair bit of gobshitery from Mel Gibson

5:38 pm

MollyL

You'd get it too

5:38 pm

Jellen

He's certainly full of it!

5:39 pm

Soodle

You see? THATS why I'm single! Go for the wrong 'uns every time.

5:40 pm

Jellen

This grid is not going very quickly for me. Distracted by men in kilts and blue and white face paint...

5:40 pm

MollyL

Your man picker is broken

5:41 pm

Soodle

It was faulty from day 1 Molls :-(

5:42 pm

MollyL

I think you should be able to get a refund on things like that. But then again, the merchandise being sought is flawed as well.

5:42 pm

Jellen

Must go. Lovely seeing you all...

5:43 pm

crosshair

When we had our Quebec vote in 1995 I think it was, it was close indeed but in the end it was still no

5:44 pm

Soodle

Bye Jell. Take car

did you just try refreshing the page....worked for me...

6:10 pm

MollyL

Clear your cache then

6:10 pm

Click in the page, Cntrl F5, or if all else fails search Google on how to clear your internet cache

6:11 pm

ok ty

6:16 pm

Whenever I clean my cache Google Expert disappears

6:16 pm

clearkng the cache worked. I always forget to do that. ty

6:16 pm

MollyL

You mean Lickety Expert, right Bich?

6:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

when caches are cleared, dont you lose all saved passwords?

6:17 pm

bichon

Doh, sorry

6:19 pm

gremlinn

I don't think so. Cached content should be separately stored.

6:19 pm

MollyL

I don't know TO, I don't save my passwords on web sites.

6:20 pm

gremlinn

But who knows, always possible one browser or another does things differently. I wouldn't think a majorly used browser would function that way. Cache/cookies/passwords should all have separate clear mechanisms.

6:25 pm

penquis

clue for the last sa 6/21 please?

6:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

9:23 pm

Nef

Hi Tor and gremlinn! How are you both doing tonight?

9:23 pm

gremlinn

Fine, and you?

9:24 pm

Nef

gremlinn, who is that beautiful girl on your profile pic?

9:24 pm

gremlinn

This one's Tomoko Kanazawa.

9:25 pm

Nef

Never heard of her (now Googling)

9:26 pm

Nef

she looks so young; and she's a pop star in Japan?

9:26 pm

gremlinn

Yeah

9:28 pm

gremlinn

Need any clues?

9:29 pm

Nef

Well, I have about 130 words left to find; but I just got here about 35-40 minutes ago. :-)

9:29 pm

gremlinn

ok; I'll be around

9:30 pm

Nef

The O's are a bit tough for me to see (I've already got NBS and NBT)

9:30 pm

gremlinn

yeah, several scientific words among them

9:32 pm

Nef

Among the O words? Thanks!

9:33 pm

Nef

I got 3 words with that clue, thanks!

9:34 pm

gremlinn

there's another O word with only one consonant

9:36 pm

Nef

I have an O 4/5 already; is there another one?

9:36 pm

gremlinn

yeah, a 5 letter

9:38 pm

Nef

Hmmm, searching now.

9:39 pm

Nef

Got it! Thanks! 1 O word left now! THank you Gremlinn! :-D

9:39 pm

Hi Pinikula! How are you these days?

9:47 pm

Pinikula

doing ok, nef...how are you?

9:49 pm

Nef

Hanging in there, Pini. Life throws some curves at times; our job is to sink or swim (& sometimes it's hard to tell which is which!)

9:49 pm

Pinikula

Boy, do I hear you there!

9:53 pm

Nef

Are you surviving your curves these days?
My DH has been sick again & so I'm running away from home to see me siblings for a week (this coming Thursday) -- as long as he stays healthy until I get out of the state!

9:54 pm

Pinikula

I'm working on it, Nef...sorry to hear about your DH; hope that changes for the better soon!!! I hope you're able to enjoy your adventure :)

9:57 pm

Nef

I've decided that the only way we will ever have a vacation is if I plan the whole thing by myself and then tell him an hour before we leave. He's gotten sick every time we've planned a vacation for the past 4-5 years.

9:59 pm

Nef

(We're supposed to be in Las Vegas right now, but he decided to have emergency surgery Monday night to have his gall bladder out. Last month it was a urine infection.)
