1:23 am

rururocks

1:24 am

grannyrose

1:24 am

zoozzoom

Stroppy here means in a bad mood.

1:24 am

rururocks

um.. rose.. that's not my ego

1:24 am

zoozzoom

LOL

1:25 am

rururocks

zooz is on my wavelength

1:25 am

grannyrose

well stroppy is....what zooz said

1:25 am

rururocks

no.. i'm in a great mood actually

1:25 am

grannyrose

but a strop is the leather strap to hone cut-throat razors on.

1:25 am

Lizlin

throw a strop - lose your temper

1:26 am

rururocks

oh.. well.. learned something new today

1:26 am

grannyrose

you started this by saying you were still razor sharp.

1:26 am

rururocks

leather straps are used for other purposes out here in california

1:26 am

zoozzoom

I see where, Rose, is coming from..strop for your comment about being razor sharp..I got you, Rose!

1:27 am

grannyrose

Lizlin

And the 9!

2:54 am

Lizlin

Though I debate that as a pt

2:54 am

grannyrose

woohoo liz

2:54 am

Lizlin

Ru said the de 9 was related to the de 7 - I have that but can't see how to extend it.

2:55 am

zoozzoom

It has to do with a set of teeth...also for teething.

2:55 am

Lizlin

I have de 7 to do with teeth

mattygroves

zoozzoom

2:59 am

Lizlin

As long as it works, there's no such thing as not cluing correclty

3:02 am

zoozzoom

Damn just noticed i put ST5 in the chat log...PB for me!

3:03 am

Lizlin

Didn't notice - but had that anyway - if no one else noticed - you might get away with it;)

3:05 am

zoozzoom

Still need 22 words.going to make a cup of tea.

3:05 am

grannyrose

I SAW IT.......*wags finger* who's a naughty boy then?

3:06 am

Lizlin

Aw - turn a blind eye, Rose. He gives good clues.

3:06 am

grannyrose

lolol...awww okay

3:07 am

Lizlin

How's your day been?

3:08 am

grannyrose

washing, ironing, cleaning. cleaned the manary's cage ready for our new bird. and no, i don't know when, but it will be another canary.

3:08 am

Lizlin

You'll have to think of another name. Manary 2 is boring.

3:09 am

grannyrose

ummmm, was about to tell a naughty joke.

3:09 am

Lizlin

and you stopped because ...?

3:10 am

zoozzoom

Hey who you wagging your finger at misses!

3:10 am

grannyrose

well it's a little bit ethnic and i try to steer away from stuff like that in a public forum.

3:11 am

Lizlin

OK - remember it. I'll laugh whilst saying how non-PC it is :)

3:11 am

grannyrose

and he's back. shhhh he mightn't notice we've been talking about him....lolol

3:11 am

zoozzoom

I saw a youtube video yesterday of that Australian lady having a go at a couple of asians with their child.

3:12 am

zoozzoom

what a stupid woman.

3:12 am

Lizlin

Haven't seen that.

3:12 am

grannyrose

oh, hello zooz. didn't notice you there....col

3:12 am

zoozzoom

glad the young lady got involved .

3:12 am

Lizlin

Not sure I want to judging by that comment.

3:13 am

grannyrose

yeah zooz. and a brave young lady stood up for them most of australia is absolutely si4ened by that person's ignorance.

3:13 am

Lizlin

Thanks for that si 4 - I'd missed taht

3:14 am

grannyrose

it went nation-wide last night on the news. and the couple are going to press charges. and we are all going hooray!!

3:14 am

Lizlin

Good

3:14 am

zoozzoom

Oh good for them.

3:15 am

grannyrose

it does send a very bad meswsage to the world about australians. but please know, that ignoramus is the minority.

3:16 am

grannyrose

* message *

3:16 am

Lizlin

mewsage - clever cat? Well, almost what you wrote.

3:16 am

zoozzoom

I can assure you, rose, it is nnot just your country that suffers from idiots like that..There are plenty here too.

3:17 am

zoozzoom

LOL funny, Liz!

3:17 am

grannyrose

anyone who uses the public transport system is offering to ride with muslims where ever they are going, to stand up for them.

3:17 am

Lizlin

Too many idiots around.

3:17 am

grannyrose

lolol, liz. gee thanx honey.

3:18 am

zoozzoom

It is not real muslims who are the terrorists...there I said it.

3:18 am

Lizlin

Have little patience for extremists of any kind.

3:19 am

grannyrose

i know zooz. but as , i think it was an american senator said, it is the minority who are in the terrorist group.

3:20 am

grannyrose

most muslims take the koran with a pinch of salt. as do jews, christians, with the bible. right liz? i mean we don't go around taking an eye for an eye do we?

3:21 am

Lizlin

I agree with your use of most

3:22 am

zoozzoom

If I see one more party political broadcast on TV I am going to go mad!

3:23 am

zoozzoom

Will be glad when this election is over!

3:23 am

Lizlin

Elections looming!

3:23 am

zoozzoom

May the 7th, Liz.

3:23 am

Lizlin

Yes, I know - hope it will help the economy.

3:24 am

grannyrose

the sad thing is, if the most of the muslims went to syria etc and stood there and berated the terrorists, the terrorists would machine-gun them down.

3:24 am

Lizlin

And more, Rose.

3:26 am

zoozzoom

And then have the nerve to say 'god is great' as if it was gods doing!

3:27 am

Lizlin

The sad thing is the number of kids across the world, who are getting taken in - going off to fight for glory and dying.

3:27 am

Lizlin

Too many almost words in this grid.

3:28 am

grannyrose

oh liz, that is what is breaking this mother's heart. all those parents who have lost their sons and daughters. it is so evil.

3:28 am

zoozzoom

Yes we have had a big thing recently here, liz, with young girls going out of this country and into Syria without the parents knowing.

3:28 am

Lizlin

From here too.

3:29 am

zoozzoom

There are many phantoms in this grid today, Liz.

3:29 am

Lizlin

I wasn't thinking about those who join the army and are posted. They, I believe, understand the risks. I was thinking along the lines of what zooz said.

3:30 am

Lizlin

Still a waste of many lives though.

3:31 am

zoozzoom

Not seen, sprite, Here for a few days.Is she Okay do you know?

3:31 am

grannyrose

liz, i was talking about the teens who sneak out of australia and join the terrorists.

3:31 am

Lizlin

Yes - me too. Sorry I misunderstood.

3:32 am

Lizlin

Problem with chat!

3:32 am

grannyrose

sprite is fine. she has been invited to help with some sessions of family constellations.

3:32 am

grannyrose

the sessions are in this time slot.

3:33 am

zoozzoom

Oh good.Glad all is well.

3:33 am

grannyrose

the young soldiers who are posted over there at least have some training.

3:34 am

Lizlin

Yes

3:34 am

grannyrose

zooz, has britain entered the fight?

3:35 am

grannyrose

we only get the stories of our army.

3:35 am

zoozzoom

Which one, Rose, We seem to put out oar in all of them.

3:38 am

grannyrose

*giggle* Isis fight

3:39 am

Lizlin

Time to put some make up on - might be back later. Hugs.

3:39 am

zoozzoom

I am sure the Uk involvment in that fight is in a way of training local soilders to help fight against Isis.

3:39 am

grannyrose

liz, enjoy your evening as much as you can. park peter in a corner and keep him supplied with drinks.

3:40 am

zoozzoom

Liz, getting ready for her night out!

3:42 am

zoozzoom

I will see if I can get this right..here goes.

3:43 am

zoozzoom

My sister's husbands sister's son got stabbed to death a couple of days ago.

3:45 am

grannyrose

so, your sister's nephew -in-law. that is too tragic, zooz. how are the family?

3:46 am

zoozzoom

I know the mother as I used to work with her..But have not seen her for many years.In fact I did not kow she had children until my sister told me last night.

3:46 am

grannyrose

unless, this is hubby number one...in which case it would be her nephew.

3:47 am

zoozzoom

As far as i am aware, Rose, as could be expected..they are devastated.

3:47 am

grannyrose

i gather family gatherings aren't big on your family's agenda?

3:47 am

zoozzoom

The son was 21 years of age.

3:47 am

grannyrose

how old was he,zooz?

3:48 am

zoozzoom

And I aso heard that her daughter at the age of 8 died of an asma attack.

3:48 am

grannyrose

ugh, you just said. that is waaaay too young to die.

3:48 am

zoozzoom

so now all her siblings have gone.

3:49 am

grannyrose

poor woman. she must be in the pits, zooz.

3:49 am

zoozzoom

I hope she can get all the help she will need in this very bad time.

3:49 am

grannyrose

have you told your mum?

3:49 am

zoozzoom

Yes she knows.

3:50 am

grannyrose

maybe you can make some inquiries? at this time she really needs an older woman to lean on.

3:51 am

grannyrose

and is your mum well enough to step into the gap if needed?

3:51 am

zoozzoom

Non of us here on the island have not seen her in over two decades, Rose.We know nothing of who is there for her.And to be honest my parent sare now too old to be trying.

3:52 am

grannyrose

okay, zooz. it was just a thought, mate.

3:52 am

zoozzoom

My sister will no doubt console her husband.

3:53 am

zoozzoom

but as you said..there are some fractions in some of our family members so contact is limited.But at least ours sister let us know what had happened.

3:53 am

grannyrose

i know when my youngest SIL's mother died, i had to step into the gap and console her.

3:54 am

zoozzoom

My eldest sister did not even let my mother know..that one of her daughters had had a child!

3:54 am

zoozzoom

I have four sisters..so this convo can get confusing..lol

3:55 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake...not to let her know she is now a great-granny. that is too mean

3:55 am

zoozzoom

I know..this is the millionaire one who says we ae just peasants!

3:55 am

grannyrose

and i have four brothers....do we have something in common?

3:57 am

zoozzoom

I can't believe it will be a month from today that my brother had passed away.

3:57 am

grannyrose

good grief!! is it really??

3:57 am

jaxx7

Pot calling kettle comes to mind, zooz. ((Rose))

3:58 am

grannyrose

{{jaxx}} hello sweetie

3:58 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Jaxx :-)

3:58 am

zoozzoom

I know, Rose..the time just will not slow down for nothing.

zoozzoom

What is that saying something like 'time and tide wait for no man'

3:59 am

grannyrose

we have had the first anniversary of our mothers deaths. i know what you mean.

4:01 am

zoozzoom

What do you do on the day, Rose?

4:01 am

zoozzoom

We will gather round the grave and well not sure really.

4:02 am

jaxx7

Does anyone else think that time seems to be moving faster these days? I know it does as you get older but it seems more than that.

4:02 am

zoozzoom

Jaxx i think it is going wayyyy to fast.

4:02 am

grannyrose

we go to my mum's grave and clean the memorial stone, put in flowers. lol....don's mum is in our backyard. with her hubby by a rose called 'remember me'

4:03 am

zoozzoom

and now i have hit 51 I am starting to look really old.

4:03 am

zoozzoom

That is sweet, Rose.

4:03 am

grannyrose

belly laughing, zooz. try 21 for the third time.

4:03 am

zoozzoom

My brother is in my mothers back garden too.I did not want that..but mother insisted.

4:04 am

jaxx7

Zooz, we gather round the grave, put flowers on it, and then retire to the nearest hostelry to toast the relative.We can't do that for my son as his ashes are under a tree at his favouriye fishing spot so we put the flowers round the tree trunk instead. It is an oak tree so should outlive us all.

4:05 am

grannyrose

but the other half of mother mac is buried on the isle of harris. where she was born and grew up.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

That is really sweet too, Jaxx.

4:05 am

zoozzoom

thanks for giving us ideas in what to do.

4:06 am

zoozzoom

My mother did not want my brother indifferent parts..she wanted him in one place.

4:06 am

jaxx7

Hey, Zooz you are only a baby yet. I find it disconcerting that I now look like my mother and grandmother at the same age. I can understand now why my grandmother always stuck her tongue out at the mirror. lol

4:07 am

zoozzoom

Oh Jaxx i am so sorry but you made me laugh out so loud when you typed that..lol

4:07 am

grannyrose

lol jaxx. as i do....my butt seems to get bigger no matter what i do.

4:08 am

zoozzoom

Oh good gosh i can't stop laughing you to are terrible!!

4:09 am

grannyrose

fortunately i seem to have missed the Ward looks. from my mother. i look like my dad. thank God!!

4:09 am

jaxx7

That was the intention. What is more disconcerting is the fact that I now walk like my mother who was 5'2'' and round whereas I am 5'8'' and tall but round.

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Ahh but you both have wonderful personalities with the abilitiy to make people smile.

4:10 am

zoozzoom

Beside beauty is only skin deep :-)

4:10 am

grannyrose

I have what is called the Fitzsimmon's bum. it is round and broad. My grandmother had 7 sisters and when they faced the wall you could'nt identify who was who as the bums were identical.

4:11 am

zoozzoom

zoozzoom

4:26 am

zoozzoom

4:26 am

grannyrose

4:27 am

zoozzoom

lol they know you too well, Rose!

4:27 am

grannyrose

4:28 am

zoozzoom

4:28 am

Klutz....accident prone. It's amazing how many ways he can screw up his bikes and his body. Makes me laugh...yes, I know that's mean but I'm seldom mean and he really deserves it!

Believe it or not, I'm just now finding out how many lies he has told me AND a couple of months ago refuted a very important conversation we had right to me on the phone!!! Very selective memory.

9:59 am

rururocks

I need to find a way to get exercise without hurting my knees. so I got my bike fixed

10:00 am

Get knee pads, ruru, just in case. Also adds support.

10:00 am

car.eeyore

Perfect! That is what I am working towards.

10:01 am

MollyL

That's interesting. Cycling involves a lot of knee action.

10:01 am

doseffing

... make sure that you get the gear ratios right or you might over do it with the muscles supporting the knee

10:01 am

rururocks

it's the impact I can't do molly

It is actually low impact on the knees.

10:03 am

car.eeyore

Oh myyyyyyy

10:03 am

rururocks

yeah.. there's always that

10:04 am

MollyL

*Mails Ru some spandex biker shorts*

10:04 am

car.eeyore

Sweet!

10:04 am

MimiCat

Didn't know if that was a joke about your marriage or mine. No begging in mine...but we epitomized the saying "familiarity breeds contempt." Not at first but now that I now more of the truth, I have an "attitude"....and rightfully so.

10:04 am

MimiCat

know more

10:05 am

rururocks

begging in my marriage mimi.. I was referring to me

10:05 am

rururocks

<---I would need some expandex

10:05 am

MimiCat

I get it, ruru. Poor baby. No more of that!

10:06 am

rururocks

:D yeah.. 30 years a slave.. I be free now

10:06 am

MollyL

I can handle bikers if they stick to the biking trails. The ones who ride around in traffic like they own the road annoy me.

10:06 am

car.eeyore

10:06 am

rururocks

<---plans to be a non-annoying bike rider

10:06 am

MollyL

Ru has gone to the mountain top

10:07 am

MimiCat

I used to say I could have killed him and gotten away with less time.

10:07 am

car.eeyore

Amen, ruru...Amen! I hate those people who take up the whole road.

10:07 am

car.eeyore

Ouch.

10:07 am

rururocks

in California.. bikers have this certain sense of entitlement.. it is annoying

10:08 am

MollyL

Oh trust me, it's not just California

10:08 am

car.eeyore

Wheee! Gaston is on!

10:08 am

MimiCat

I used to lulll myself to sleep at night thinking of ways to kill him and dispose of the body so no one would find him. Yeah...mean...but worked for me!

10:08 am

rururocks

wow

10:08 am

MimiCat

Trust me....he deserved those thoughts....you have NO idea.

10:09 am

MollyL

Mimi, I'm sorry you spent that much time with someone you were so unhappy with.

10:09 am

rururocks

I wonder why I did that too

10:10 am

MimiCat

Thanks, Molly. Yes, it was torture. I did it for my kids but it was a mistake. In my book I'm advising women NOT to do that.

10:10 am

MollyL

Lots of people do, Ru

10:10 am

rururocks

that is always a mistake mimi.. it still affects the kids

10:10 am

MimiCat

He now has the woman he deserves....totally self-centered and selfish b...h. ROFL.

10:10 am

MollyL

I am a firm believer in NOT staying together for the kids. It does kids no good to live with unhappy parents.

10:11 am

rururocks

I agree

10:11 am

MimiCat

We didn't ever really fight and most of the pain was mine which I kept well hidden within so the kids didn't suffer. But like Dr. Phil says "It's better to come from a broken home than live in one."

10:12 am

MimiCat

And the kids don't appreciate it anyway!

10:13 am

MollyL

I think kids are better off living with a single parent, than miserably married parents.

10:13 am

MimiCat

I heard him say once that he was happy with me to which I replied "Of course you were happy...YOU were married to ME....I was married to YOU!"

10:14 am

helensgirlkid

Catching up on the chog - it's worth remembering that bikers do have exactly the same right to the road as drivers do.

10:15 am

car.eeyore

Of course, helen, but drivers are no allowed to take up the entire lane, so the bikers should not either.

10:15 am

helensgirlkid

Not skipping you mimi - recognise and empathize -

10:15 am

doseffing

... yeah ... but they don't have right of weight ... and that's the one that hurts

10:15 am

MimiCat

Watching "World's Dumbest Criminals" on TV....really funny.

10:15 am

helensgirlkid

I thought drivers were - and do.

10:15 am

car.eeyore

LOL doseffing

10:15 am

rururocks

In California.. many bikers run stop signs.. ride recklessly and are dangerous

10:16 am

MimiCat

Thanks, helen....mostly over it now. Divorced 11 years. Just hard finding out how stupid I was not knowing about the lies.

10:16 am

car.eeyore

We have a number of teams that use our roads, and they fan out all over the lane and then get pissed if you beep to let them know you are there.

10:17 am

MimiCat

We mostly have desert biking here since there are so many trails and so much space.

10:17 am

rururocks

I'd be into dessert biking :D

10:18 am

rururocks

ride two miles... have a piece of cake...

10:18 am

helensgirlkid

True - so do drivers, most places, though, but that weight dos mentioned wins out. But it's the risks drivers pose that leads to the creation of bike trails and lanes. Now we have to sort the pedestrians from the rollerbladers from the skateboarders from the bikers. . .

10:18 am

car.eeyore

I have no problem sharing the road with bikers, but expect the same courtesy from them.

10:18 am

car.eeyore

OMG...I thought doseffing was making a joke about the bikers in spandex pants. LOL!

10:19 am

MimiCat

Car, I've almost given up expecting courtesy of any kind anywhere!

10:19 am

helensgirlkid

Yikes - just saw the time - back to searching my brain for words!

10:20 am

rururocks

courtesy is a long lost thing nowadays

10:20 am

MimiCat

Just got that one, ruru....LOL.

10:20 am

car.eeyore

HAGD Helen!

10:21 am

10:21 am

car.eeyore

Yay! I remembered the needle cases today! Progress.

10:21 am

MimiCat

Yes, it seems people aren't teaching their kids manners anymore. It's just not the nice polite time of our yesterdays......oh, no....I'm engaging in nostalgia....does that mean I'm OLD?!!

10:22 am

car.eeyore

OH, don't get me started!

10:22 am

rururocks

you Know mimi.. Kind is a word that needs a lot more action in this world

10:22 am

Hello cyber!

10:23 am

MimiCat

Car, you'll appreciate this. I only got a week's notice that the only doc I transcribe was going on maternity leave until the end of April (this was at the beginning of March). No paycheck until mid-May--ouch.

10:23 am

MimiCat

Hi, nan!

10:23 am

MimiCat

I love when Ellen says at the end of the show every day "Be kind to one another." I believe I'm a very kind person but since life is about balance, you do not want to go to "the dark side" with me!!

10:24 am

rururocks

so you're experiencing a pregnant pause Mimi?

10:24 am

cybernan

oh wow --- there is the de 9 I couldn't find last night - should have quit a lot sooner!

MLFAN17

10:27 am

MimiCat

Ah, nostalgia again, ruru.........

10:28 am

rururocks

one boob is never enough anyway

10:28 am

MimiCat

Unless you have really small hands, etc. I'll let you fill in the etc.

10:29 am

cybernan

not pc, ruru! -- a lot of ladies have lost one to cancer

10:29 am

MollyL

I'm so over the phrase "man cave"

10:30 am

rururocks

it's too early for PC stuff

10:30 am

MollyL

Chiming in to say I don't think Ru was trying to be insensitive to cancer victims.

10:33 am

MLFAN17

congrats ruru

10:33 am

MLFAN17

we are looking for somewhere else to live as well

10:34 am

MimiCat

Good luck with that, ruru. I'm also looking for a house right now. Apt. living has been a "challenge."

10:34 am

rururocks

I'm ready for a quieter neighborhood that's for sure

10:34 am

MLFAN17

ruru and mimi.. out of the states you live in now or somewhere near by?

10:35 am

MimiCat

You should be able to find quiet there, ruru....I'm so envious. Would love to live there.

10:35 am

rururocks

I'm staying here mlf.. like it here..

10:35 am

rururocks

mostly so that I can tease the east coasters about their crappy weather :D

10:35 am

MLFAN17

that is awesome ruru

10:35 am

MimiCat

I was planning to move up into the mountains here about an hour's drive away but not sure that will be possible. Will wait and see.

10:35 am

MollyL

*Still waiting for a big lottery win so I can buy a new place to live*

10:35 am

MLFAN17

ruru lol I used to live on the east i miss home

10:36 am

rururocks

why not mimi?

10:36 am

mcurlschool

Hi! ru, I do that all the time and now with my daughter (and fam) looking for a house in vermont I can even give her a bad time!

10:36 am

MimiCat

As I've said before, Phoenix only has two seasons: heaven and hell. We've been in heaven and now we're going to hell.....

10:36 am

MLFAN17

mimi houses more expensive in the mountains?

10:36 am

rururocks

*hopes molly wins the lottery too*

10:37 am

MLFAN17

mimi why do you call it heaven and hell?

10:37 am

rururocks

it gets to 120 degrees there mlf .. that's hell

10:37 am

MimiCat

Actually not, ML. Farther north by the Grand Canyon they are but where I'm looking in Payson they're very reasonable and have mountain views.

10:38 am

MLFAN17

mountain views are good:)

10:38 am

rururocks

I have been through Payson.. pretty there

10:38 am

MLFAN17

ruru uhhh 120? no thanks

10:38 am

MimiCat

Most of the year it's beautiful here and in the 70's but around the end of May it starts hitting the 100's. Last June was our hottest on record...several days with 116 degrees. Like living in a sauna.

10:38 am

MLFAN17

Third column i?

10:38 am

rururocks

it gets to 110 here in the summer sometimes too

10:39 am

MLFAN17

Probably with hubby and i is that he wants smallish town and i want just he opposite

10:39 am

rururocks

which is why i'm going to have a small swimming pool

10:39 am

MimiCat

At least in Payson it's about 20 degrees cooler and they do get some snow in the winter. Told the realtor to not even show me anything without a view and a fireplace and a deck!!

10:40 am

MLFAN17

mimi here where ;i live its gotten into the triple digit temps i like it for a while

10:40 am

MLFAN17

mimi sounds like my kind of house...you mean a real woodburning fireplace?

10:40 am

rururocks

I like 90 +.. but not over 100.. it's burdensome

10:40 am

MimiCat

The good thing about the hot, dry climate is that arthritis doesn't hurt!

10:40 am

MLFAN17

ruru above ground?

10:40 am

MollyL

Gross, not me. Triple digit temperatures are miserable.

10:41 am

MLFAN17

mimi that is awesome

10:41 am

rururocks

???

10:41 am

cybernan

over 80 is too much for me

10:41 am

rururocks

in ground

10:41 am

MimiCat

Yep...real wood. They mostly have those stoves but I want a real fireplace....ambience.

10:41 am

MollyL

i don't think above ground pools are allowed in California

10:41 am

MLFAN17

ruru as long as the a/c works

10:41 am

rururocks

real fireplaces are inefficient though mimi

10:42 am

rururocks

I like warm weather.. actually.. doesn't bother me.. I'm part camel

10:42 am

MLFAN17

mimi i want a fireplace too

10:42 am

MollyL

I will never have anything but a wood burning fireplace. The gas ones just don't cut it for me.

10:42 am

MimiCat

I know but I'll trade inefficiency for ambience any day.....I have a romantic nature.

10:42 am

MLFAN17

lol part camel

10:42 am

cybernan

nothing like a real wood fireplace and a necessity in rural areas where you could lose power for hours during a winter storm

10:43 am

rururocks

<---going to have a generator

10:43 am

MLFAN17

my parents house had a gas one the smell was awful and it gave me a headache

10:43 am

cybernan

wish we could still have them, but they have been banned in our cities

10:43 am

MLFAN17

ruru good idea

10:43 am

MLFAN17

cyber so true you couldn't not pay me to live in a house without a wood burning fireplace

10:44 am

MLFAN17

and other sources

10:44 am

rururocks

I like natural ways of keeping warm

10:44 am

MLFAN17

i wouldn't mind one of those black stoves in a house

10:45 am

MLFAN17

Third column i anyone?

10:45 am

MimiCat

Ooooooh, ruru......

10:45 am

rururocks

ha

10:45 am

cybernan

and all the black smog they create, ru?

10:46 am

rururocks

????

10:46 am

rururocks

I don't have a fireplace nan

10:46 am

cybernan

coal burning stoves are quite detrimental to the environment

10:46 am

MimiCat

Oh, no....on dumbest criminals...midgets (pc, little people) shoplifting....carrying so much they can't get out of the door!!

10:46 am

MLFAN17

really cyber?

10:47 am

rururocks

*checks which side of the bed nan got up from*

10:47 am

MimiCat

...talk about "flying UNDER the radar....

10:47 am

rururocks

I hear midget crimes dwarf almost any other crime

10:48 am

MimiCat

Oh, no, you didn't say that!

10:48 am

cybernan

yes -- that's why china has such a smog problem -- all the coal burning furnaces for their factories

10:48 am

rururocks

sorry mimi.. I am a hobbitual jokester

10:49 am

MollyL

Why have wood burning fireplaces been banned?

10:49 am

MimiCat

Funny....older man sees someone robbing convenience store and beats the hell out of him until police arrive.

10:50 am

MimiCat

Yes, you are, ruru. Just one of the many things we love about you! (Molly, don't get carried away by the love remark.)

10:50 am

rururocks

in California you can't put them in new houses

10:50 am

MollyL

Why not?

10:50 am

rururocks

they have to be pre-existing to use them

10:51 am

rururocks

air quality issues

10:51 am

cybernan

for the smoke they create, Molly - at least that is the reason we are given. I would be a lot more sympathetic if slash burning in the orchards and vineyards wasn't still allowed.

10:51 am

MollyL

Oh for God's sake. People have been burning wood to keep warm for centuries.

10:51 am

rururocks

we do get heavy smog sometimes.. it's appalling

10:52 am

rururocks

yeah but centuries ago they weren't driving billions of cars

10:52 am

MimiCat

L.A. was terrible with smog, especially during the Santa Ana winds...which also made everyone nuts....wait...is that redundant for L.A.?

10:52 am

MollyL

By all means. lets ban wood burning stoves, but not come up with affordable non-gas using cars. What a crazy world we live in.

10:53 am

rururocks

good point

10:53 am

cybernan

True Molly, but there are a lot more people on our planet now than even 30 years ago -- and our environment is rapidly deteriorating -- frightening when you live or visit a place where the effects of global warming are very obvious (california drought and shrinking glaciers).

10:54 am

MimiCat

Totally true, Molly. And here in the desert we should be given tax breaks for having solar. They're starting to do that now, though.

10:54 am

MollyL

*Puts on THE SKY IS FALLING t-shirt*

10:54 am

rururocks

*looks around for little chickens*

10:55 am

rururocks

I better get started on House-work.. how PC is that?

10:55 am

MollyL

*Sends Al Gore more kick backs*

10:55 am

MimiCat

My friend says she's going to make me a t-shirt with CRAP written on it and the red circle with the line through it over the CRAP since I've said I've reached my "crap quota" and am not taking any more.

10:55 am

rururocks

al gore lives in a gigantic house

10:55 am

MollyL

Of course he does

10:55 am

rururocks

al gore is full of shit

10:56 am

MimiCat

House work, ruru? Nah...not in the mood.

10:56 am

MollyL

You better go clean your warming globe, Ru
: P

10:56 am

rururocks

I have to on the weekends. there's no time during the week for me

10:56 am

cybernan

Where do you live, Molly? I can't believe that there are people who are not at least a little concerned that our water supply is drying up --- or that the central valley in CA is becoming a desert? - that is where most of the fruit and veggies in our grocery stores comes from!

10:56 am

rururocks

whats a warming globe?

10:57 am

rururocks

molly just had a lifetime of snow nan

10:58 am

cybernan

ah - an easterner - that explains it

10:58 am

MimiCat

I do house work when in the mood (which is almost never) because I live alone and rarely have visitors so I figure, hey, I'm already seeing it dirty so it can wait until tomorrow!

10:58 am

rururocks

yes their experience of global warming is far different than ours

10:59 am

rururocks

I can't live with dirty mimi.. I have to at least attempt to stay on top of it

11:00 am

MimiCat

I was kidding.....mostly.....

11:00 am

ivesy3

mimi i live alone too.. sometimes i wonder who is making the mess.. then i remember its me!

11:01 am

MimiCat

Though since I'm not working for awhile, I'm trying to get more writing done and I lose track of time.

11:01 am

rururocks

my ex was a clean freak.. so while I didn't go quite that far (I live comfortably) I learned how to keep it decently clean

11:01 am

MimiCat

The thing that baffles me, ivesy, is how I never seem to have money to buy anything but always have a lot of trash!

11:01 am

cybernan

Was watching a program that showed temperature patterns for the last 3 years -- very graphic explanation was a map of north america showing average temperatures -- it was like a line was drawn along the eastern foothils of the rockies and the sierra nevadas - everything to the west was red hot and everything to the east was fridgid

11:02 am

MimiCat

Sounds a lot like my marriage, nan...except replace west and east with north and south.......

11:02 am

rururocks

oopsie

11:03 am

ivesy3

yea amazing isnt it mimi....mb someone is sneaking in and bringing trash... i think there is a bit ch that sneaks in and messes up my place

11:03 am

MimiCat

â™ªâ™ªmemories light the corners of my stomachâ™ªâ™ª

11:04 am

cybernan

have to run some errands - bbl

11:05 am

MimiCat

I'm convinced aliens visit us regularly and one came in the night and took the children I was supposed to have and replaced them with these people, though they are adults now. When you teach your children to think for themselves it comes back to bite you in the butt later...

11:07 am

MimiCat

I'm leaving as well....need another cup of tea and some toast. Later, everyone!

11:07 am

MollyL

Someday I hope we live in a world where people don't believe everything they hear on TV and read on the internet

MollyL

And a Google search of "paul president" turns up that name on the first hit

12:24 pm

Easy to find clues when you scan the chat log from flip to now

2:32 pm

I just didn't look past the "s" !

2:33 pm

Some prefer the human interaction of cluing and receiving clues over culling the chog history. everyone plays it differently

2:34 pm

MollyL

Yes some do.

2:35 pm

MollyL

And some admit to "culling" the chat history...sometimes

2:36 pm

crosshair

some do. some use lickety, and some do not as well.

2:37 pm

crosshair

there are many ways to play babble:)

2:40 pm

Yeah, if you actually play the game

2:40 pm

If you are here, you play it. There is no minimum effort required as far as I know.

Yup and another nice one tomorrow. Then come April showers

Interesting.. I live in Collingwood:)

3:36 pm

crosshair

But we are in Simcoe county

3:36 pm

pythonx

I've got 149 words and considering I only play once every 6 months, that's not bad

3:37 pm

pythonx

crossy are you looking at my profile? it's a real mystery although I have a few theories

3:38 pm

crosshair

Grandad was an immigrant ? If so you can use the birth cert and request a record of landing cert. I had to get a record of landing cert to organize some govt paperwork.

3:39 pm

crosshair

Not bad word count at all, pythonx

3:39 pm

pythonx

no, he was born in Grey county apparently. we just don't know what his birth name was.

3:39 pm

crosshair

Interesting

3:41 pm

crosshair

You have a mystery on your hands. check his schooling back as far as you can go. i am sure you can glean some info that way. or if he went to church, perhaps some church records for baptism etc?.. just tossing ideas

3:41 pm

pythonx

one of my theories is that he was born out of wedlock and was given to someone in the family to take as their own. although how to explain the fake birth certificate...?

3:42 pm

crosshair

perhaps; adoption record are sketchy at the turn of the last century

3:43 pm

crosshair

there are many cases in that time when a child would be orphaned or given up for some other reason and given directly to another family member with minimal paperwork

3:43 pm

pythonx

they rarely did adoptions then, mostly guardianships, and I haven't been able to find a record. Need to make another trip to Owen Sound for more research

3:44 pm

crosshair

We have large family archival records here at the new library as well for those hunting family.

3:45 pm

pythonx

that is my second theory, that his family couldn't afford to keep him and gave him up

3:45 pm

crosshair

Quite possible.

3:46 pm

crosshair

During the east coast potato famine around 1915, many families were broken up in just that way

3:46 pm

pythonx

I was at the library a few years ago, but didn't have enough time to do a better search, was only in town for 2 days

3:47 pm

crosshair

Nice to have another babbler that lives close. If you head to owen sound let me know you will have to pass right by me. Will buy you a coffee;)

3:47 pm

pythonx

he was adopted around 1905/06

3:48 pm

pythonx

will try to remember that for next trip

3:48 pm

crosshair

we have another babbler in Kitchener and carlee is in sarnia

3:49 pm

cool, the southern ontario babblers!

It's a place I could live quite easily - except for cold winters.

6:58 pm

I wanted to start slowing down a bit in my life

6:58 pm

Lizlin

It keeps the pennies rolling in!

6:58 pm

I could live there in a heartbeat

6:59 pm

Lizlin

I strongly recommend retirement as soon as you can afford it!

6:59 pm

rururocks

but then I'd have to pick up Bridge :D

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Hmm! I seem to have missed out on that one. Just walk on the beach :)

6:59 pm

there's too much responsibility here punning you guys to death

That's a serious responsibility of course - you're never allowed to stop that.
