VolleymomDee

sore, but I am moving :)

1:07 am

grannyrose

nice dee. praying for continued improvement, dear

1:08 am

VolleymomDee

I have a sneaking suspicion I will need more injections, but we'll see. How was your trip?

1:09 am

grannyrose

long drive today. and i have found i really need access to a loo if i am to take the magnesium in the afternoon. otherwise i am coasting. we have both caught up on a lot of sleep.

1:09 am

grannyrose

dee, it is more than likely you will need further injections.i didn't want to mention it earlier.

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

Wonderful to be able to rest well! The loo issue seems to come with the aging territory, too LOL

1:10 am

grannyrose

*giggling* yeah....

1:10 am

VolleymomDee

That is what I have heard, too, rose. I'd like to avoid doing it until after Christmas; fingers crossed.

1:11 am

grannyrose

we have played mini gulf for three days in a row. i got sunburnt on the first day. now applying aloe vera as much as i can.

1:11 am

grannyrose

ugh....*golf*

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with the kids. LOL... I always get sunburn, even when I am conscientious about sunscreen. LOL LOL... mini golf is pretty fun

1:12 am

grannyrose

again we have seen some very impressive sights and lots of new things.

1:12 am

VolleymomDee

lots of photos??

1:13 am

grannyrose

i am so pleased your thanksgiving was so wonderful. if i may, i would like to wish all my american friends a belated happy thanksgiving?

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

ty, rose... one of my favorite holidays

1:14 am

grannyrose

yes dee, lots of pics. we havent unpacked the camera as yet. but once we do, i will certainly be sharing with you all.

1:14 am

VolleymomDee

nice

1:15 am

VolleymomDee

what is your weather like now?

1:15 am

grannyrose

we have only been home a few hours. so nice to be home...

1:16 am

VolleymomDee

so true; great to have a vacation, but wonderful to get home

1:16 am

grannyrose

oh, dee, it has been spot on for all our holiday. brilliant sunshine and a light breeze everyday. except the 3rd night when the wind and rain were very energetic...lol

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

got drenched, huh?

1:18 am

grannyrose

and tomorrow we are expecting quite high temps with rain. so humidity will be very high and uncomfortable. no, thank goodness, dee. it was overnight and we were very firmly ensconced in our room...lol

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

we had some really windy days here - blew one of our topiaries off the front porch.. fortunately didn't damage it or the urn

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

lol lucky

1:20 am

grannyrose

next vacation may/june/july next year. i don't think europe is ready for us, but as they say in the classics....tough....lol

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

my last 7 was pu 7/52 gross word

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

3 month trip??? wow!

1:20 am

grannyrose

you are moving into your winter, right?

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

yep... we have missed some nasty snowstorms, so maybe this will be a mild winter for us :)

1:22 am

grannyrose

dee, it will prolly be our last and only chance. we are going to make the most of it. 2 years down the track, north america and canada...then i can die happy...

1:22 am

VolleymomDee

amazing plans; I hope all of the details fall together!!

1:25 am

grannyrose

*giggle* then we will just have to survive....i know it's gonna cost a fortune, but we are both agreed that we are not going to skimp.

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

in 95 when we visited London and Edinburgh, we went with the same idea...

1:28 am

grannyrose

lol. did you see me the other night when i logged in? i was describing the only room i gave don a free rein in booking.

1:29 am

VolleymomDee

I missed that

1:31 am

grannyrose

bare bulb from the ceiling, no bedside lamps, double bed, no frig or tv in room. toilet along a corridor, 50 feet away, showers at the opposite end of the building. only good thing...the food was incredible.

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

oh, wow... bet you hated to go to bed, though

1:32 am

flosey

ah rose, the way to a man's heart, eh!

1:32 am

grannyrose

AND i didn't whinge once.

1:32 am

flosey

pats on the back for that

1:33 am

VolleymomDee

wow, good for you, rose... my tongue would be bloody :)

1:33 am

grannyrose

lol, flosey...yup!!

1:34 am

grannyrose

i have told him....no more...these are my minimum requirements....and he agreed.

1:34 am

VolleymomDee

what food did they serve you?

1:35 am

grannyrose

we have been very fortunate. the food in all 3 towns where we st4ed was sooo good.

1:35 am

VolleymomDee

that is always a nice surprise.

1:35 am

grannyrose

dee, at that place, we both had a mixed grill, chips and salad. and they gave us a JUG of garlic sauce for the meat.

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

lol... and mints for your breath after the jug lol

1:37 am

grannyrose

well...we both had the garlic...so not too much of a problem for us...lol

1:37 am

VolleymomDee

that's good :)

1:40 am

VolleymomDee

Well, I need to get going. Fireworks finally... not a friendly grid to my brain tonight.

1:40 am

grannyrose

and when we arrived at our last stop...we drove to the bowls club. i joined as a social member....for $5/year. we recouped our money on the first meal...and on the next saved $16 plus. plus the food was amazing.

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

Saving dollars and having great food is a truly great combo :)

1:42 am

VolleymomDee

hugs til the flip!! Have a great day / eve (((rose))) (((flosey)))

1:42 am

flosey

rubyfoo

couldn''t find ur5, even with zzoozz's spoon-fed clue....

6:31 am

rubyfoo

hello Sprite. Burt is OK; thanks for asking. How is Ti||?

6:31 am

rubyfoo

or even Tim*

6:32 am

sprite

Tim is healing up so quickly! He feels good, and looks more or less normal again, just some lingering swelling around the cheekbone and such.

6:32 am

sprite

zooz' clue isn't working for me either.

6:33 am

rubyfoo

that must be a relief!

6:33 am

sprite

yes, am immensely grateful for how it developed. How fragile our lives are!

6:34 am

rubyfoo

And he'll stil be handsome!

6:34 am

sprite

yeah... a little more rugged, but hey, that is only more appealing, right? :)

6:35 am

rubyfoo

hi crossy

6:38 am

crosshair

((ruby))

6:39 am

crosshair

how is lbd this fine winter day?

6:39 am

sprite

hey crossy :) *hug* how are you and Mrs Elegant?

6:39 am

crosshair

((sprite))

6:39 am

crosshair

We are both doing well, sprite. No lottery win yet, but I am working on it:)

6:40 am

sprite

hehehe :) Ain't we all. Results from the doc in yet?

6:42 am

crosshair

Heard no word, so I am assuming all was more or less as it should be. hear Breathing tests are later this month and her blood work is on Monday. We just have to come to terms with the aches and pains that come with experience;)

6:42 am

lbdawger

I'm trying not to listen to the wind outside. it's almost blizzard conditions out thee

6:42 am

sprite

ennervating, that sound, dawg

6:42 am

crosshair

Check the booze supplies and make sure you have a few candles and some fig newtons and you will be fine , lbd:)

6:43 am

sprite

as Haz once said here, crossy... aging is not for the timid :) Glad to hear no big things amiss.

6:43 am

crosshair

No news is good news as they say:)

6:43 am

Anniebrook

I miss Haz very much.

6:43 am

lbdawger

it's mostly the banging of the wind chimes against the house. the thunking and occassional chime.

6:43 am

rubyfoo

scary, ibd, I find windstorms, summer or winter, the most unnerving

6:44 am

Anniebrook

Hello babblers

6:44 am

sprite

we have the same saying in dutch

6:44 am

MollyL

Ah, the famous words of Bette Davis...age is not for sissies...

6:44 am

sprite

hey Annie :) *hug* How are you?

6:44 am

crosshair

I love a good storm be it winter or summer. So elemental:)

6:44 am

rubyfoo

ya think?

6:44 am

Anniebrook

Bette Davis was right

6:44 am

rubyfoo

6:45 am

Anniebrook

Hugs back, sprite and hi ((ruby))

6:45 am

sprite

I like storms when I am outside. But indoors, the sound can become pretty ennervating. Esp when it lasts for days or weeks.

6:45 am

lbdawger

hi annie! Crossy, plenty of food, lights and liquids stored up. I just wish work would call and say they are closing due to weather...that's not going to happen but I can wish it.

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I do't mind rain snow or lightning, just don't like wind. We get nasty piercing winds through this valley

6:46 am

crosshair

Tell them that you are snowed in and take a personal day:)

6:46 am

Anniebrook

hi dawg, the sound of the wind can be stressful. I know. I live near the ocean and the wind here is never ending. Wonderful in the summer and spring. Other times, not!

6:46 am

rubyfoo

see you later kids

6:47 am

sprite

bye ruby!

6:47 am

crosshair

tc ((ruby))

6:47 am

Anniebrook

bye ruby, enjoy the NYT

6:48 am

lbdawger

bye, ruby

6:50 am

lbdawger

fortunately for us, the wind doesn't usually persist. at least we usually can't hear it. I'll get used to it here shortly and then not notice it until I have to go outside.

6:57 am

sprite

I remember last year we had storm for weeks on end. We all were so edgy.

7:04 am

sprite

back later, *hugs*

7:05 am

Anniebrook

bye sprite, have a peaceful evening

7:06 am

crosshair

When we lived further north I used to love storms;snowed in for a week at a time and life slowing down. The wood stove going and board games and tons of good books, snowshoeing, ice fishing, and home-made soup simmering in a giant pot on the back part of the stove. Bad part was hauling all thet firewood and cleaning the weight of all that snow off the roof:9

7:08 am

crosshair

When thing got back to normal, it was almost a disappointment to see the power flicker back on ,thouhg it was nice to get power again for the water pump:)

7:13 am

bichon

Finally a grid with an e and an s

7:13 am

Anniebrook

good morning, bichon

7:14 am

bichon

CHi Annie, crossy

7:15 am

MollyL

I would probably enjoy snow more if all I had to do was sit around in front of a fire and play games and read books. Alas, that nasty "going to work" thing gets in the way.
: D

7:16 am

Anniebrook

Hi Molly, Do you drive to work?

7:18 am

MollyL

Yes I do Annie. My son is fortunate enough to live close enough to walk to work, but I drive.

7:19 am

Anniebrook

When I worked I drove to work also. I dreaded the snow then.

7:19 am

bichon

I think I've learned to drive in snow better, but it's no fun. Having ABS makes me more confident

7:21 am

MollyL

Well Bich, ABS is nice. But it doesn't keep the other idiot drivers from plowing into you. They are what I get most concerned about. There are people around here who drive around in snow on almost bald tires.

7:21 am

bichon

Yes, there's that

7:30 am

crosshair

I never tarry at 4-way stops for just that reason. All the snow turns into a sheet of ice from the heat coming from the undercarriage of vehicles waiting at stop signs. they plow right into the back of you:(

7:32 am

Anniebrook

be back later

7:33 am

crosshair

lol@ "going to work thing" what is described there was a situation where it is 30 minutes to a paved road.. If you are snowed in like that, work is out of the question:)

7:34 am

crosshair

Just finding your care is an adventure:)

7:34 am

crosshair

car

7:35 am

crosshair

As I recall, a few days later we hired one of the farmers with his big tractor and the giant blower-auger mounted on fron to blow out the lane

7:37 am

crosshair

Once it was blown out to the nearest concession road, we were free:)

7:37 am

mattygroves

I am making cranberry sauce - letting it reduce down now - we've friends around for dinner for kind of a fake Thanksgiving (though no stuffing - I forgot. And I'm making roast potatoes, not mash. Oh, and it's a chicken, not a turkey...) So actually just a roast chicken dinner but hey, any excuse :)

7:39 am

crosshair

lol. Love the way you started with a Thanksgiving dinner and ended up with chicken and taters:)))

7:39 am

crosshair

make some yorkie puds and you will be covered:)

7:40 am

mattygroves

Well, it's too early to get turkey in the supermarket, and our kitchen (and oven) are tiny and there are only five of us...so *shrug*. Hey, at least there's homemade cranberry and apple sauce

7:40 am

MollyL

We are stuffing lovers in my clan. I sometimes think we could do without the turkey, but not the stuffing.

7:40 am

mattygroves

I am looking for the ey7 and the 0a7 - can anyone steer me?

7:41 am

MollyL

ey7...add seeing orb to a word that means "similar to"

7:41 am

mattygroves

gotya - thanks!

7:41 am

MollyL

The oa is (ha ha) similar to that

7:41 am

mattygroves

And I've got the oa now as well.

7:42 am

mattygroves

Made up words, I'm sure - thanks Molly!

7:43 am

MollyL

Yes, but think of the words YOU could make up. Having a bad day? This is a very sh7 day. : D

7:43 am

MollyL

Oops that would be sh8

7:47 am

mattygroves

I like your thinking

7:47 am

mattygroves

Note to self - don't leave glasses on when stirring hot cranberry sauce

7:56 am

Anniebrook

For the first time, I made my own cranberry sauce. I zested an orange skin into it and it was very good. I didnt realize it was so easy and so much better than the canned sauce.

7:57 am

mattygroves

Here it comes in jars and is more like a jam than a sauce - mine you can eat on its own it's yummy

7:57 am

Anniebrook

happy chicken day, matty

7:57 am

bichon

I make my own every year. With Splenda for me and with sugar for everyone els. Just gotta remember to keep on stirring

7:58 am

MollyL

I love homemade cranberry sauce. I make mine just like Annie does.

7:59 am

Anniebrook

Im going to finished washing kitchen floor.

7:59 am

mattygroves

I used cranberries (fresh), apples, golden caster sugar, cinnamon, a bit of nutmeg and a pinch of allspice. I shall be making homemade mulled wine later

7:59 am

bichon

There's supposed to be a glut of cranberries this year from Wisconsin.

8:00 am

mattygroves

I've no idea where mine were imported from. I shall look...

8:00 am

bichon

I always think of them coming from Cape Cod, but I guessthat's no more

8:01 am

MollyL

Really? You're going to stomp the grapes and everything?
: D

8:02 am

bichon

Cranberries can grow anywheree there's a bog

8:02 am

suefrad625

I love lucy

8:04 am

mattygroves

Imported from the USA. Molly, not quite that far, butI use this recipe. http://tiny.cc/noa3px

8:05 am

suefrad625

i am sitting in my recliner in my camper looking out my big picture window at the campground lake...this is thanks

8:05 am

MollyL

Still a lot of cranberries grown in Cape Cod

8:07 am

bichon

what is golden caster sugar Matty, brown sugar?

8:08 am

josephjames

it's sugar that puts exactly the right actors in a movie to make a big hit

8:08 am

mattygroves

Nope - only partly refined caster sugar (caster sugar is sugar ground a bit more finely than granulated sugar - our granulated sugar is ground more coarsely than American sugar)

8:09 am

suefrad625

powdered sugar?

8:10 am

mattygroves

No, not as fine as that. Similar to American ordinary sugar

8:10 am

MollyL

If you have ever used super fine sugar, castor sugar is similar (there is that word again)

8:11 am

mattygroves

LOL joseph!

8:11 am

josephjames

oh good i thought my joke was going to waste

8:15 am

suefrad625

i thought you were adding to my remark lol

8:21 am

MollyL

Lots of jokes go to waste here

8:22 am

josephjames

maybe we need to start a save-the-jokes fund

8:23 am

josephjames

with an ice bucket challenge

8:23 am

MollyL

Oh please no. The ice bucket challenge needs to go away.

8:24 am

josephjames

but its for the JOKES, molly!

8:26 am

josephjames

i just put in pu7 for a joek to o and i cant believe it worked

8:26 am

MollyL

I have to applaud whoever came up with the ice bucket idea though. Who knew you could convince so many people to look like idiots, dumping a bucket of ice over their heads. And then film it and share it on YouTube.

8:26 am

josephjames

i believe it was a young fellow in australia

8:27 am

MollyL

The really funny thing is, the original idea was "donate money OR dump a bucket of ice over your head". Then everyone donated money AND did the ice thing.

sitting down for five minutes - chicken rubbed (I can't bugger it - i.e. beer can chicken as I don't have enough room in the oven). Next task, peel potatoes, sweet potatoes and carrots, parboil the potatoes, then mulled wine

9:14 am

rururocks

Isn't buggering chicken against the law?

9:15 am

Depends on which jurisdiction you're in

Do you use a chicken camera?

9:19 am

A camera chickscura

9:19 am

mattygroves

But the photos are fowl

9:20 am

rururocks

The processing labs have to wait for the photos to hatch

9:21 am

But all they are doing, really, is feathering their nests

9:22 am

Well if that isn't a cockadoodle do

I seem to have woken up profoundly stupid today - oh dear. hoping it burns off as a fog does...

9:42 am

MLFAN17

are you okay trif?

9:44 am

Trifioso

I guess so - just stupid

9:44 am

MLFAN17

stupid why?

9:45 am

Trifioso

cant find a word that is right in front of me, let the dog out and then forget I had done so, thatsort of thing

9:45 am

I think pearil should be a word.. the holidays are dangerous for fruit

9:45 am

Well lovely catching up with you all, gotta go now. Bye xx

9:46 am

MLFAN17

tha would be peril

9:46 am

MLFAN17

okay i am out of here i may be back going to go eat now

9:46 am

MollyL

Yes, especially due to all the fruitcakes. (I got the pearil joke)

9:46 am

rururocks

Bye lindy

9:48 am

Trifioso

heres something fun - someone showed me a photo secondo posted late last night - apparently she got a tattoo. she's still sleeping right now, and I am fighting the urge to go peep at her

9:49 am

MollyL

Teenage girls generally frown on their mothers peeping at them while they are sleeping

9:49 am

Trifioso

that is the only thing holding me back, molly

9:51 am

MollyL

Facebook is the end of privacy for young adults everywhere

9:51 am

Trifioso

it was instagram, actually

9:51 am

MollyL

Ah, I should have been more generic and said photo sharing.

9:52 am

Trifioso

its all good. tattoos are NOT my thing, at all, but it's not my body it's on, so I will smile and be supportive, and that's it. if she was looking for me to have a fit, she will have to look elsewhere

9:53 am

rururocks

How are you on body piercing trif?

9:54 am

Trifioso

I have two holes in one ear, one hole in another, and that is all I will be getting. What other people do is there business. I don't like the visual of those giant gauge things the young ones put in their ears - those really gross me out

9:57 am

Trifioso

how are you on piercing, ruru?

10:00 am

MimiCat

Morning, everyone! I have two piercings in each ear. The second set came about when my daughter wanted to get hers pierced for the first time but was afraid so I went first to show her it was no big deal.

10:01 am

MimiCat

She and I were supposed to get matching tats but she went ahead without me and I have no desire to get one now...though that may change...one never knows.

10:05 am

MimiCat

If you guys like Bob Seger and have cable with CMT, you should check out the Crossroads show he did with Jason Aldean today (noon my time). It's FABULOUS.

10:06 am

MollyL

There is no image that I like so much that I want it inked on my body permanently.

10:06 am

Trifioso

that is pretty much how I feel about it, Molly - I change my mind too often

10:08 am

MimiCat

My daughter loves Egyptian history so she got a very tasteful ankh on her hip.

10:08 am

MimiCat

I'd be worried that with time it would change in appearance and turn into something oddly wrinkly.

10:09 am

MollyL

I really don't understand the tramp stamps, but they seem to be popular in certain circles

10:09 am

Trifioso

see, that to me makes sense, mimi....but I dont have anything like that in my life

10:09 am

MimiCat

Bad enough that I'll get wrinkly...don't need an ugly tat as well!

10:09 am

Trifioso

i think I need a turkey sandwich....

10:10 am

MollyL

Or worse, a wrinkled tattoo

10:10 am

zoozzoom

LOL

10:10 am

MimiCat

Might be amusing seeing the tat change with time, though...

10:11 am

MimiCat

Hey there, zooz1

10:11 am

MimiCat

That was supposed to be a !

10:11 am

MollyL

Now I'm imagining a nursing home in 50 years with hallways full of wrinkled tattooed people in wheelchairs

10:11 am

Trifioso

that is the future, molly

10:11 am

zoozzoom

Hi there, Mimi :-)

10:12 am

MimiCat

Yes...my mind is conjuring a pretty weird image, too, Molly. But, then, that's nothing new!

10:12 am

MimiCat

And just wait until all those breast implants start heading south!!!

10:13 am

zoozzoom

Not sure why people get those tongue piercings either.

10:13 am

MollyL

And kids at the playground talking about "Grandma's tattoo"

10:13 am

zoozzoom

That is why I aughed, Mimi. Here a slang word for breasts is tats!

10:13 am

Trifioso

imagine all the lovely ladies, picking up their boobies and squishing them into all sorts of interesting shapes - "see? its a rose! no, look this way!"

10:13 am

Anniebrook

and Grandma's lip piercing, good role model

10:14 am

MimiCat

Zooz..I hear those are done as a functional thing regarding sex but can't imagine experiencing the pain of piercing the tongue for ANY reason.

10:15 am

MimiCat

Funny, zooz...language can be tricky!

10:16 am

MimiCat

I can just picture (unfortunately) old women getting their walkers jacked up to help support their gravity-challenged breasts. Not a good visual.

10:20 am

MimiCat

Gotta slap these images outta my head and get to work. Good Saturday and hugs all around.

10:20 am

MollyL

So Zoom, people don't say "tats" for tattoos in the UK? That's good. I'm not big on any abbreviations, but that is one that I like the least.

10:23 am

zoozzoom

I am not sure, Molly.Depends what part of the UK I suppose.Not around here is tattoo referred to as tats.

10:33 am

Buggie

I've never actually heard of tats meaning anything other than tattoos

10:36 am

zoozzoom

In some parts here it is also used for a meaning of potato.

10:37 am

zoozzoom

As well as taters.

10:37 am

MollyL

I've heard of tats and tatties being used in the same way as tits and titties.

10:37 am

Buggie

oh, that I have heard, though I don't actually know anyone who calls potatoes tats

10:38 am

Buggie

then again, I can't say that tits are a subject I ever talk about lol

10:42 am

bichon

Buggie, do you live near ruby who Babbles.

10:42 am

bichon

I think she lives in Anecy

10:42 am

Buggie

nope, other side of the country

12:13 pm

periwinkle

I don't get your clue, Erda

12:14 pm

periwinkle

but I am looking

12:14 pm

MollyL

Peri, it depends on which pu7 you have. The other pu7 is what the heart does as it beats.

12:14 pm

periwinkle

I had the other pu7

12:15 pm

MollyL

Erda's clue means what you see with + a word that means "similar"

12:15 pm

periwinkle

that one I found

12:15 pm

periwinkle

I need help with the other pu7

12:15 pm

grrrrr I so hate the use of t instead of ed as a pt

12:26 pm

Kaplan the Magne

did we decide on whether the word CL4 gets a PB pass?

12:26 pm

cybernan

don't think we are worried about calling penalties at all, kap

12:27 pm

Kaplan the Magne

what a laid back group.

12:29 pm

MollyL

I've never thought of the PB as a "penalty". More of a gentle reminder not to post grid words in the chat. The PB has always been made out to be a fun place.

12:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Didn't say it wasn't fun. Just a custom.

12:31 pm

MollyL

However, a wink is as good as a nod. So posting "could I have a cl4 for the st7" is just as good as posting "clue" in the chat.

12:31 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ahhhhhhhhh.

12:32 pm

MollyL

Love the LBJ icon, Kap.

12:32 pm

cybernan

yes, but it has always been called the penalty box where you are "penalized" for posting a word in the chat -- always in fun of course

12:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Like saying " second vowelr, squiggly letter x2, round letter."

12:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

A gas station.

12:33 pm

MollyL

Maybe we should start calling it the Time Out Box

12:35 pm

since when does the first li 4/5 have a plural form?

12:36 pm

cybernan

grrr - and there is that t being used as pt instead of the ed again --- like fingernails on a blackboard

12:36 pm

MollyL

Oh Nan, "since when" starts a sentence about so many words in these grids.

12:37 pm

cybernan

guess I should head for the pb ;-)

3:07 pm

rururocks

My neighbors have some beautiful greyhounds that were rescues.. they're really beautiful dogs

3:08 pm

Minveryork

Hello rururocks!I had a great Thanksgiving in Connecticut.

3:08 pm

rururocks

I would never have a rodent as a pet.. there are too many I associate with in the wine biz as it is :D

3:08 pm

rururocks

oh.. nice minver

3:09 pm

Minveryork

116 Cavalier King Charles Spaniels got rescued from puppy mill in Alabama last week.I'm so glad they all got rescued.

3:09 pm

penquis

did you have to travel far to get to your Thanksgiving dinner, min?

3:09 pm

rururocks

I wish the AKC would get really involved in closing down puppy mills.. it is deplorable

3:10 pm

Minveryork

My sister-in-law lives about 25 minutes from me,so not too far. It was nice not to have to travel far.I hope you all had an awesome Thanksgiving with your families this year.

3:11 pm

rururocks

I did.. I had a fantastic day with my Brother's family

3:12 pm

Minveryork

I so agree with you rururocks!I do not see how they can be legal. Saw an article about this puppy mill and it made me sick to my stomach! I don't understand mentality of some!

3:12 pm

penquis

my holiday dinner was great....only 1.5 hours of travel (strategically planned to avoid the storm)....the boys each made a pie....all were yummy!

3:13 pm

Minveryork

This is the article I read:
http://michigancavaliers.com/Blog/dog\ncare,cavaliers/terri-easterbrooks-crue\nlty

3:14 pm

Minveryork

Darn it! I messed up the chat log.Sorry about that everyone!

3:14 pm

rururocks

When we had a litter of pups.. we had some potential homes where the people had previously gotten a pup from a puppy mill. just horrible stories

3:15 pm

rururocks

these puppy mill owners should see jail time.. in small cages

3:16 pm

rururocks

I sent some wine back for the holiday for my friends in Long Island and UPS didn't deliver in time.. they got the wine Friday instead

3:17 pm

Minveryork

Puppies were auctioned off. I hope the puppy mill owner did not make money off of auction to enable her to continue her so-called business.

3:18 pm

Minveryork

You should ask for you money back from UPS rururocks.That is not right

3:18 pm

Minveryork

I am sure your friends will still enjoy their wine though. It's the thought that counts.

3:18 pm

rururocks

I'm not in favor of auctioning off puppies.. not the way to place them in good homes.

3:19 pm

Minveryork

Well supposedly, a Cavalier rescue group bought all the puppies at the auction. They got money from donations around the country.

3:20 pm

rururocks

that's good news. I hope the puppies are healthy.. generally from Puppy mills they are not

3:20 pm

Minveryork

I did not donate because I was afraid money would go back to the owner of the puppy mill. However, I found out later it did not happen.

3:21 pm

rururocks

If you see an add in the paper for AKC Puppies 10 out of 10 times it is a puppy mill

3:21 pm

Minveryork

Now I wish I HAD donated, but you never really know where your money is going when you make donations like that.

3:21 pm

jesdraggon

you can always donate to the rescue directly

3:22 pm

rururocks

you can donate to the Cavalier group if you want minver

3:25 pm

Soodle

You can donate wine to me if you want Ru...

3:26 pm

MollyL

Min, remember to use tinyurl.com

3:26 pm

rururocks

ah.. wish I could soodle

3:26 pm

rururocks

I can't ship vino out of the country apparently with the licenses I have

3:27 pm

MollyL

Sorry, no wine in November.
Dry month and all that.

3:27 pm

rururocks

how was your wine molly?

3:27 pm

Soodle

:-) the horror that is November is drawing to a close :-)

3:27 pm

jesdraggon

how much hassle to get the appropriate licenses?

3:27 pm

MollyL

Sorry, no sympathy.

3:28 pm

MollyL

Self-imposed horror.

3:28 pm

Soodle

The end is nigh...

3:28 pm

MollyL

Never opened the wine I bought.
Saving it for Christmas.

3:28 pm

rururocks

3:29 pm

rururocks

3:29 pm

rururocks

I got a bottle of aged calvados for Xmas .. showed up yesterday

3:29 pm

rururocks

just in time for winter

3:30 pm

MollyL

No, it will just go home with one of my kids.
Need to get something red to go with beef
tenderloin.

3:30 pm

Minveryork

Yes, I got an email asking for donation to the rescue group, but I didn't know if the rescue group would then spend money at auction given by this puppy mill owner. Once again, this lady did not get a dime of it.

3:30 pm

rururocks

oh..that's easy

3:31 pm

Minveryork

I guess it is No Wine November along with No Shave November?

I do not know how to post link using tinyurl MollyL. I am so sorry about that! Thank you rururocks for fixing the chog!

3:34 pm

Soodle

Lol Min. I abstain from alcohol in November. I find it alarmingly difficult!

3:34 pm

Minveryork

Guess I should have been the one to do that since I messed up the chog.Must remember to NOT post links in the chog.

3:34 pm

rururocks

god if there ever is a month to drink it is November and December

3:35 pm

rururocks

it's okay minver.. happens all the time

3:35 pm

Minveryork

Maybe the best time to not drink any alcohol is during lent

3:35 pm

MollyL

Well, if Dr. God would fix the chat log, then you could post regular links here. But since they don't work, and blow the chat log, tiny url is better. All you have to do is go to tinyurl.com and paste and convert your link.

3:35 pm

ChrissieDee

Well done Soodle. I tried for sober October - lasted 3 days

3:36 pm

rururocks

I like to get bent on lent

3:36 pm

Soodle

Ooh. I'll make up for it in December, Ru, secure in the knowledge that if I can forego it for a month, I'm not alcohol dependant.

3:36 pm

Minveryork

Oh wow,that sounds easy MollyL. Will remember that one.

3:36 pm

rururocks

(nods head)

3:37 pm

La la la *sings about delusional thinking*

3:37 pm

That is a great one - Sober October. I love it!

Hi, my name is Soodle and I'm not alcohol dependent. I go for a whole month without alcohol. Let us not discuss the other months. Keep coming back and it works if you work it.

3:42 pm

rururocks

*watches soodles first twelve steps*

3:42 pm

ChrissieDee

Good thanks Soodle. We're having lots of face time.

3:43 pm

Soodle sings "The Twelve Steps Of Christmas" on December first.

3:44 pm

Soodle

Good, Chrissie. Note to self. .. Avoid alcohol related conversations November 22015

3:46 pm

ChrissieDee

Ay least you didn't do Movember Soodle, lol

3:46 pm

MollyL

Note to self: If you live as long as 22015, remember to chat about drinking tea and saintly behavior.

3:47 pm

rururocks

3:49 pm

rururocks

tries to imagine soodle at a thousand years old

3:49 pm

MollyL

She will be sober, one month of the year.

3:49 pm

rururocks

Maybe 1,050

3:50 pm

Soodle

You see? Alcohol withdrawal made my hand shake. God above, will this wretched month ever be over?

3:50 pm

rururocks

I could use a sober month myself :D

3:50 pm

MollyL

*Closes the bar in the PB*

3:51 pm

rururocks

what about the time out room.. is there a bar in there?

3:51 pm

MollyL

I'd say we could all meet at coffee shops, but we know how that goes.

3:51 pm

rururocks

HA...lol

3:51 pm

Soodle

It's self mortification Ru. If your not Catholic, don't bother. Seriously.

3:51 pm

rururocks

Ya gotta find them first LOL

3:54 pm

rururocks

I am soooo far from Catholic.. soodle.. I don't even know where to start

3:54 pm

redshoes

Firewords!

3:55 pm

redshoes

Once I got one of the last three 7s, the rest fell right into place. :)

3:55 pm

Soodle

Well done, redshoes!

3:57 pm

MollyL

Don't want to start World War 3 about religion, but I don't think God is interested in self-mortification. Not if you believe in a loving God anyway.

4:00 pm

rururocks

I am often mortified around here but i am guessing that is nit the same thing

4:00 pm

rururocks

Not

4:01 pm

Soodle

Nothing at all to do with God Molls. Just a gesture by me that I can forego stuff I am fond of. (Wine!). The only possible losers are the wine retailers, and they know that normal business will resume in December. No harm to anybody.

4:02 pm

rururocks

Well i am abstaining from sex...

4:03 pm

MollyL

That's fine Soodle. I have just never understood the Catholic thing about giving up what you like (LENT). To me that is not what faith is about.

4:04 pm

Soodle

WOMEN OF CALIFORNIA.. I FEEL YOUR PAIN

4:04 pm

rururocks

Ha lololol

4:05 pm

MollyL

Back to happy, superfluous chat...

4:06 pm

Soodle

Hey. It matters not a whit to God or Dog or whoever the Supreme being is

4:07 pm

Soodle

That a housewife in Co. Meath drinks no wine in November.

4:08 pm

MollyL

Then why say "it's a Catholic thing"?

4:08 pm

Soodle

I feel better for it!

4:09 pm

Soodle

Traditionally, catholics gave up stuff for Lent & for November. Its ingrained.

4:13 pm

Soodle

Omg! I seem to have got the last word! I'll scuttle off to bed now before anybody else challenges me. Smugly poofing!!

4:14 pm

MollyL

Well, I wasn't trying to be a pain in the ass. I just don't understand people who link "self-mortification" to religion. It sounds too Opus Dei to me.

4:16 pm

MollyL

And I was a practicing Catholic for a long time and never heard anything about giving up stuff in November.

4:27 pm

penquis

neither have i....it's not Lent...

4:34 pm

MollyL

Oh well, sorry this turned into a "last word" thing. I was hoping to get some clarity on it.

4:35 pm

penquis

perhaps it's an irish thing...never heard of that in my 12 years of Catholic school....

4:38 pm

rururocks

I just wonder how many points superfluous would be

4:39 pm

rururocks

isn't lent around easter?

4:40 pm

4:42 pm

yes, ru....leads up to easter...

Book Doctor Gwen

hi all, and i was not reaised catholicm butm, yeah, lent is the season just before easter, and it lasts 6 weeks or 40 days

4:45 pm

mardi gras is basically loading up before lent and ash wednesday starts lent

Thanks Book Doctor. Being raised Catholic, I know about when Lent is. I think Pen does too. : D

of course, if you *want* to give something up, you can do it whenever, you sure don't have to wait for lent or anything
