just fast on the first half, then they stop falling out of the grid so readily

N's Nixed!

hurshy

tr9

12:34 am

jesdraggon

hursh is kicking butt

12:35 am

hurshy

i focus on one letter at a time, it is slower to get to nbt, but faster overall in the long run

12:36 am

mkg

is tr 9 two words making one?

12:36 am

cybernan

nbs, but no 9's

12:36 am

hurshy

not really

12:36 am

hurshy

it's a church architecture word

12:36 am

ARB

Yes

12:37 am

mkg

ty

12:37 am

ARB

yes, tr 9 is a church word, but it is made up ot two words

12:37 am

Lizlin

Thanks :)

12:38 am

mkg

ty

12:39 am

hurshy

i mean it's MADE of words but you can't like, split 'em up again and get two independent words with just those letters

12:39 am

hurshy

it's not like... farmhand or rundown

12:39 am

mkg

ok ty.

12:40 am

ARB

Your right, Hurshy, but there is one letter common to each word, so you can get two words out of the one word

12:40 am

cybernan

so it's not a compound word then

12:40 am

dcseain

ta, Arb

12:41 am

hurshy

it's sort of a contraction compound i guess you could say. there would be a double letter if it was a straight up compound, so one of those drops to make the word.

12:42 am

cybernan

oh - no idea what it could be -- back after golf tomorrow. Good night everyone

12:42 am

Lizlin

Sleep well, Nan

12:42 am

jesdraggon

g'night, nan

12:42 am

hurshy

i think in our efforts to be clear and precise, we have muddled the clues very thoroughly

12:43 am

ARB

so true!

12:43 am

Lizlin

Glad I got it from the first architecture clue :)

12:44 am

hurshy

yay for church architecture! lol

12:44 am

cybernan

found a pr 9, so nbs as well now

12:47 am

rururocks

you have lost me on the tr9

12:47 am

jesdraggon

evening, ruru

12:47 am

rururocks

hiya jes

12:51 am

jesdraggon

how's tricks?

12:51 am

hurshy

sometimes words are so FUNNY

12:52 am

rururocks

I'm tired from working in LA

12:52 am

dcseain

ugh, there's a no fun commute.

12:53 am

jesdraggon

finally have half of the g's...

12:54 am

hurshy

the p's are getting me all turned around, i got one of the 9s but not the other...

12:57 am

rururocks

I have a re9 now

1:01 am

hurshy

uhoh

1:01 am

hurshy

i have all the 4s

1:01 am

hurshy

i hate when that happens

1:02 am

hurshy

well, ruru, would you like to give a small hint for that re9?

1:02 am

jesdraggon

oh no, hursh! you're filling in the whole grid! how terrible :D

1:02 am

hurshy

i just don't like to get all 4s and know there are no easy lil monkeyable ones left but still so many others!

1:03 am

rururocks

sure.. but only if you clue the tr 9 in a new way :D

1:03 am

justafreep

Oooh, at least I got a fun grid for my unexpected night of Babbling!

1:03 am

Lizlin

tr 9 ends in French 7

1:03 am

hurshy

oop, liz beat me to it

1:03 am

hurshy

hello, justafreep!

1:04 am

Lizlin

I'd like the re 9 too please :)

1:04 am

jesdraggon

hiya freep

1:05 am

jesdraggon

thanks, liz

1:05 am

Lizlin

yw

1:07 am

rururocks

re 9 is what shoppers do at xmas when Walmart is closed :D

1:07 am

jesdraggon

buy online?

1:07 am

Lizlin

My thoughts too!

1:08 am

justafreep

Ha, Ruru. (also hi)

1:08 am

rururocks

hi freep haven't seen you in months and months

1:09 am

hurshy

repackage, regift, rent-a-something...

1:10 am

hurshy

aha

1:10 am

rururocks

obscure clues are fun aren't they hursh :D

1:10 am

justafreep

I have been infrequently here, to say the least

1:10 am

hurshy

the sniper missed the first shot so he had to re8 the victim

1:11 am

rururocks

I'll say

1:11 am

hurshy

now then, on the pr9s, the one i have is a past te5, and it's about when people take an assessment before a unit to see what they already know and don't need to be taught

1:12 am

jesdraggon

thanks hursh

1:12 am

hurshy

i would enjoy help with whatever the other one is

1:12 am

jesdraggon

and ruru, i guess, though I totally needed hursh to translate ruru's clue :D

1:13 am

rururocks

ha

1:13 am

ARB

Take a gift and make it the person who gives it

1:13 am

Lizlin

Thanks for the re 9 - it took a while but I got there!

1:14 am

hurshy

i think that's the person who GE4 it, arb, but thanks! i got it!

1:14 am

Lizlin

Thanks, ARB - 9s done :)

1:14 am

ARB

yw

1:14 am

hurshy

9's and 4's done, 32 words remaining

1:15 am

hurshy

30 words

1:15 am

Lizlin

Taking a break - hope to see more words later, before listing.

1:15 am

hurshy

i think that's enough for now

1:15 am

Uneaixoise

wow, hursh!!

1:16 am

hurshy

i'm telling you, the focus on a letter at a time approach may seem weird at first, but it really works quite well.

1:16 am

jesdraggon

120 left here, but i think they'll have to wait for tomorrow as my brain seems to be quitting

1:17 am

hurshy

ttfn!

1:17 am

rururocks

I don't have a brain left today

1:17 am

ARB

I work my way through the alphabet -- which I think is Hurshy's "system"

1:17 am

jesdraggon

g'night, hursh

1:18 am

Uneaixoise

gnite hursh ;-)

1:19 am

jesdraggon

i'm sure i should be able to make a joke about that, ruru, but brain has really quit... guess i'll just mumble something about renaming you scarecrow

1:22 am

hurshy

oh i don't go abc, i go from fewest words to most, try to grey out some of those smaller tiles at the start

1:22 am

hurshy

but, six of one, half dozen of the other

1:23 am

hurshy

you thought i was gone but i had a very long kitten update to read so that is why. now really truly *poof*

1:24 am

jesdraggon

i just shake the grid and see what falls out... then go more organized for the second half. sometimes that's pick a tile, sometimes i try to make patterns of the grey boxes, sometimes i go alphabetically...

1:24 am

rururocks

oe8

1:24 am

jesdraggon

kittens are always an acceptable excuse, hursh

1:25 am

Uneaixoise

tx ru

1:25 am

jesdraggon

you can find words like that while claiming brainlessness, ruru? i think you have more brain than you credit.

1:25 am

Jellen

Hey all...I have a dog question.

1:25 am

rururocks

sure

1:25 am

rururocks

what?

1:26 am

jesdraggon

hit me, jellen

1:26 am

Jellen

My 6 month old pit has started to act aggressively toward the cats...

1:26 am

Jellen

What do I do?

1:27 am

jesdraggon

aggresive how? escalating play? growling? chasing?

1:27 am

rururocks

call Cesar Milan. jeez. I don't know pits

1:27 am

Jellen

Chasing and growling...

1:27 am

jesdraggon

pits are no different than any other dog, ruru

1:28 am

Uneaixoise

are the cats misbehaving toward the pittie?

1:28 am

DR1965

dens

1:28 am

DR1965

oops

1:28 am

jesdraggon

what do the cats do when the dog does that? and what are both cats and dogs doing immediately before?

1:28 am

rururocks

I am not sure I agree with that jes

1:29 am

DR1965

We recently had a horrible incident in our neighborhood regarding a pit bull so I am not saying anything

1:29 am

rururocks

pits are a lot different than other dogs

1:29 am

Jellen

The cats run and hide...Don't know what preceded.

1:29 am

rururocks

do you have behavioral trainers in your area jellen?

1:29 am

Uneaixoise

cats hiding the remote?

1:29 am

Jellen

Idk, ruru

1:30 am

jesdraggon

pits have a bad reputation, but the majority of it is rumor and poor ownership.

1:30 am

rururocks

look them up on line

1:30 am

Uneaixoise

agreed, jes!!

1:30 am

rururocks

trainers that is

1:30 am

jesdraggon

watch to see what sets it off, as that's going to make a big difference in what you can do about it, jellen.

1:30 am

jesdraggon

in the meantime, make sure the cats have places they can get that the dog cannot get to them, keep their food away from where the dog can get it

1:31 am

rururocks

yes.. keep the food separate for sure

1:31 am

jesdraggon

make sure they are not competing for toys or places to rest

1:31 am

Jellen

I've separated them for the night. Dog is in the kitchen.

1:32 am

jesdraggon

reward the dog like crazy for being calm around the cats - and work on "leave it" and "settle" as tricks/commands when there is nothing to distract the pup so she'll be more likely to respond when there is a distraction

1:32 am

DR1965

leave it - is a very good one for the pup to learn

1:33 am

rururocks

yes... I guess "Don't eat the Kitty" is too long a command

1:34 am

DR1965

Don't eat the maltipoo did not work to well either

1:34 am

Jellen

Ok. I'll work on it...Thanks!

1:34 am

jesdraggon

I can give you the email address of a friend of mine who is a trainer as well, jellen

1:35 am

Jellen

He's been a good dog so far.

1:35 am

DR1965

He will continue to be if you work with him

1:35 am

rururocks

check out the cesar Milan books jellen.. they have some good pointers too

1:35 am

worzel

es8 if not called

1:35 am

jesdraggon

but it's going to make a significant difference in how you approach it if the chasing is because cat runs and chasing is fun (dog thinks we're all playing) vs. dog thinks cat is for lunch.

1:36 am

Uneaixoise

225 and eyes crossing -- gnite all :-)

1:36 am

Jellen

Night, Une

1:36 am

rururocks

226 :D

1:38 am

Jellen

Got your email, jes...thank you!

1:40 am

jesdraggon

welcome :) I have had a couple of dogs that were so set on cat chasing I ended up using a shock collar as deterrent, just to prevent damage to the cats, but ideally you want the dog to be calm around them, not scared of them...

1:40 am

anike

FW

1:40 am

jesdraggon

yay anike!

1:41 am

anike

TY I am off...nap time

1:41 am

Jellen

WTG!

1:42 am

jesdraggon

a couple more questions - anything in the household change? new cat? new area of house dog now has access to? new toys? learn to chase things outside and is now bringing that inside? are cats indoor only or do they go outside? is chasing inside or outside? what other activity/activities does the dog have?

1:44 am

Jellen

There was another dog in the house for a couple of weeks. Strange story: she was missing for 9 months when I got a call from Home Again.

1:44 am

Jellen

But she's run off again.

1:44 am

jesdraggon

yay for microchips!

1:45 am

rururocks

how do they run off?

1:45 am

Jellen

She found a way out of my fenced back yard.

1:45 am

jesdraggon

did she chase the cats? or play rough with the puppy, and the puppy has transferred that to the cats now that the other dog is missing?

1:45 am

Jellen

Yes and yes...

1:46 am

rururocks

you need advice asap from a behaviorist then jellen. that's my advice

1:47 am

jesdraggon

then in addition to 'leave it' and 'settle', you probably want to get something more active for the puppy to do that doesn't involve being around the cats. outdoor toys, fetch, running, wear the puppy out before he's around the cats.

1:47 am

Jellen

Will do, ruru

1:48 am

jesdraggon

and don't leave him alone with them until you are absolutely certain you can trust them together (that seems obvious, but you'd be astonished how many people think if things go well for a few days, the issue is resolved)

1:48 am

Jellen

He goes to the country with me almost every day to play with an older dog. That helps.

1:49 am

jesdraggon

animals are very good at learning lessons we didn't intend to teach, and one of those is "don't do this when Jellen is looking" instead of "don't do this ever" :D

1:49 am

rururocks

he is neutered too yes?

1:49 am

rururocks

<---knows those lessons for me too

1:50 am

Jellen

No, not neutered. Although I'm thinking about it.

1:50 am

jesdraggon

Get a treadmill and train him to run on that so you can wear off that excess energy even in bad weather or when you don't have time to take him out.

1:50 am

rururocks

that could be part of it too.. hormonal jellen. Jes would know the right answer to that

1:51 am

jesdraggon

cat chasing is probably not testicle related (despite the upcoming pussy joke from ruru :P) but neutering is helpful in decreasing competitive behaviors with other dogs and roaming

1:51 am

rururocks

I had to neuter Dylan for that reason, aggressiveness

1:51 am

jesdraggon

and roaming is a HUGE factor in things like dog fights, hit by cars, gunshot wounds, and unwanted puppies.

1:52 am

Jellen

Yep

1:52 am

rururocks

Yeah.. jes.. I guess leave it won't work for me when it comes to pussy chasing

1:53 am

jesdraggon

I recommend neutering any dog you don't specifically intend to breed. For large breed dogs, I like to wait until they're over 7 months, to allow more bone growth, but 5-6 months is good for smaller dogs. which breed is he? (pit bull is a sub-category of type, not an actual breed)

1:53 am

jesdraggon

Man, ruru... did I have to prompt you for a pussy chasing joke? you're off your game tonight :P

1:54 am

rururocks

no.. I was trying to behave myself until you fired the first salvo

1:54 am

Jellen

I'm not sure of the exact breed, but he's large.

1:54 am

jesdraggon

testosterone plays a significant role in growth plate closure, and large breed dogs tend to mature slower than small breed dogs, so younger neutering may be associated with joint (especially knee) issues as they get older.

1:55 am

rururocks

yes.. that's why I said you'd know when the best time was to neuter. I waited till Dylan was two before I did for that reason

1:55 am

jesdraggon

so we try to balance that with neutering before all the neighbor dogs are pregnant, and he's well in the habit of roaming :)

1:56 am

Jellen

Well, I appreciate the info...I'm off to bed!

1:56 am

jesdraggon

sleep well, and good luck with the training!

2:00 am

justafreep

It was fun... but time to go for me, I'm afraid

2:00 am

jesdraggon

I'm off to sleep too, g'night all

2:00 am

It builds from what you are on a deserted island, that st word

5:19 am

5:36 am

mattygroves

Phantom - orange

5:37 am

6:11 am

rubyfoo

Last night they ran 4 Ã©pisodes of True Detective and I'm hoping they'll run season 2

6:11 am

6:11 am

Trifioso

I think it's brilliant but evidently the second season is less good

Good morning all

7:19 am

MLFAN17

hi lynxxx

7:19 am

lynxxx

Stew is good for an old man

7:19 am

MLFAN17

hi sukee

7:19 am

sukee

Was all caught up in grid and didn't see anyone come in :)

7:19 am

Anniebrook

good morning, sukee

7:20 am

lynxxx

hi Sukee

7:20 am

MLFAN17

i was here talking to trif and then trif left so chat got quiet

7:22 am

sukee

I have a rare Sunday where I have no writing to do so I'm glad to see a big grid.

7:22 am

Anniebrook

enjoy, sukee

7:22 am

MLFAN17

that's good sukee what are you writing?

7:23 am

sukee

I write blog posts for a printer, about 150 a month. It's easy work and pays :)

7:24 am

MLFAN17

blog posts for a printer?

7:24 am

sukee

A printing website that has offices all over the worlds

7:24 am

MLFAN17

ohhh

7:24 am

MLFAN17

what kinds of blogs?

7:25 am

sukee

I basically find an event happening in their town and write about it while adding some keywords to do with printing.

7:25 am

MLFAN17

that sounds kind of cool:)

7:25 am

sukee

When I can, I find printer related events.

7:26 am

sukee

It is easy and they pay me with paypal. They are based in the UK so I hope they will still be in businesses in a couple of years.

7:26 am

MLFAN17

that doesn't sound like an easy thing to find?

7:26 am

sukee

Sometimes it is frustrating, a lot of towns really don't have much happening.

7:27 am

sukee

So this month I wrote a lot about 4th of July celebrations coming up and Canada Day for the Canadian ones.

7:27 am

MLFAN17

schools or festivals might be good?

7:27 am

sukee

Charity events are also good.

7:27 am

MLFAN17

that's true too

7:28 am

sukee

I'm also working on a company that provides tutoring. In that one I just find some facts about the community and write a 250 word blog about tutoring.

7:29 am

sukee

The company that provides the work deals with a few companies.

7:29 am

MLFAN17

being informative is always a plus

7:30 am

sukee

The money helps me support myself on top of my disability. They let you earn a certain amount of money, they actually encourage it.

7:31 am

sukee

I can see myself doing this well into my 70s if the company survives.

7:31 am

MLFAN17

had you been a writer before?

7:32 am

MLFAN17

wonder fi you can do it as a service to companies on your own?

7:32 am

sukee

I used to write some articles for online sites like Hubpages. With that you get paid through Google advertising and the bottom fell out a few years ago.

7:33 am

sukee

I could offer that to companies if I had the desire or the need :)

7:33 am

MLFAN17

bummer

7:33 am

MLFAN17

no desire or need to do so?

7:34 am

sukee

Yes, I was earning at least $200 a month, Google made some changes and then the earnings plummeted for most. One article earned me almost $1,000.

7:34 am

sukee

Well, if I wanted to go out and find clients and then have to negotiate pay, etc. Right now I'm happy with the way it is.

7:34 am

MLFAN17

that was pretty awesome!:)

7:35 am

MLFAN17

much better the way it is i am sure:)

7:36 am

sukee

It was, it was an article about my favorite top 10 cartoons of the 60s. It coincided with people on Facebook being asked to change their user icon to a cartoon character, although I had no clue about that when I wrote it.

7:36 am

MLFAN17

i remember people changing their icons to cartoon characters but never understood what it was far

7:37 am

MLFAN17

for

7:37 am

sukee

I guess just to see how far it went. Anyway, it made me happy :)

7:37 am

MLFAN17

the woman who did the voice for one of the Jetson's character's died not long ago

7:38 am

sukee

Yes, I remember reading that.

7:39 am

MLFAN17

wasn't it the voice of Judy?

7:39 am

sukee

Yes, I think so.

7:39 am

sukee

Anyway, here is the article. Still gets lots of views. http://goo.gl/7zqV6q

7:39 am

sukee

If you are interested :)

7:40 am

MLFAN17

will look later and ty:)

7:40 am

sukee

Anyway, I have to go get some breakfast.

7:40 am

sukee

I will be back

7:40 am

sukee

Going to be a hot, sticky one today

7:40 am

7:59 am

Scrabbler

Off this weekend. My sister was here yesterday with her grandson and we were busy all day--picnic at the park, playground, swimming, etc.

7:59 am

welki

sounds like you're due for a day sitting in a chair, in front of a fan

8:00 am

Scrabbler

Nope. I will finish some art project orders, get laundry done, and either bike or walk to the park.

8:01 am

welki

woman, don't you ever slow down?

8:01 am

Scrabbler

I have too much to do. Sitting in front of the computer is when I veg out.

8:02 am

welki

gotcha

8:03 am

welki

i'd bet that most of us here are the same - go, go, go, except when online

Yes, I am still here, MLFAN.

8:39 am

welki

just the last letter is different - same point count

8:39 am

MLFAN17

ty welk

8:39 am

Scrabbler

I use stones/rocks, sticks, acorn caps, and other items from nature to create what I call geo-nature art--landscapes and tiny houses.

8:40 am

MLFAN17

that is so cool scrab

8:40 am

MLFAN17

got it ty

8:40 am

Scrabbler

I collect sticks and stones when I hike and kayak. My sisters and friends know that I need times to collect my "special" sticks and stones. I have quite a collection but always need more.

8:41 am

MLFAN17

scrab no two are alike that is a good thing. The more choices the better

8:46 am

RoundBarn

scrabs, I'm listening in. I have bags and boxes of marvelous stickes collected by my daughter who was an artist and made fantastic "grotesque" dolls out of water-worn sticks, and rags--If I were driving to Vermont, I'd leave you some--I can't bear to throw them away, think maybe we should have a ceremonial burning but have never broached that to my other kids--if I had an address or eamil from you I could sent you pictures of the "dolls"--she's the one who committed suicied--never diagnosed--you know rasta, my third daughter--

8:46 am

Scrabbler

I made the art for me initially, 3 years ago, then gave 2 projects away as gifts in the last years, then began selling in the last month at a farmer's market and to co-workers after bringing my art to the office. Now I have 6 orders to make.

8:47 am

MLFAN17

what rock have I been under? rasta is your daughter roundbarn?

8:48 am

MLFAN17

scrab farmer's market's are a good place to sell things like that

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Oh, RB, I am so sad to hear that. Suicide is euthanasia of a psyche in pain. No other diagnosis is needed. How tragic.

8:48 am

RoundBarn

you are one I watch all the time. (smile.) I have a facebook but my kids won't let me on it--they say I'll get addicted and they want me to finish my book. Good for you and your art! I would give you her kayak, too. It's here in Sprongfield in a garage out by the lake--no one uses it--

8:49 am

MLFAN17

round that si why I am not on fb hubby says I was obsessed with it and we only have one computer

8:50 am

welki

roundbarn, i am so sorry to read about your daughter, rasta

8:51 am

Scrabbler

RB, I just sent you an email via your website.

8:51 am

rururocks

Are you afraid of broken bones scrabs?

8:51 am

MLFAN17

hi ruru

8:52 am

RoundBarn

she absolutely believed her "possession" came from outside. That she wasn't ill. My worst pain is that she was in such pain- and nothing I could do about it. I moved to MN for six months before she came down here--she was a dancer and violinist, too. And adored our little lake in Vermont. Worked at a music and art camp for older people in Vt every summer. Taught at a Waldorf school, handwork.

8:52 am

Scrabbler

Hm, of course, Ruru.

8:52 am

welki

hi ru - apoquel 2x/day for two weeks, then down to 1x/day - also a NEW diet from hills, DermDefense - so far so good

8:53 am

MLFAN17

she was probably very smart and artistic

8:53 am

rururocks

Oh great welki. We are doing better out here too.

8:54 am

rururocks

I was thinging scrabs... that why you collect sticks and stones

8:54 am

Scrabbler

RB, I bet she was a deep thinker, creative, with a persistent existential crisis.

8:54 am

Scrabbler

Ah. Well, I see the sticks and stones as things to build with.

8:55 am

RoundBarn

mlf17--yes, Rasta is my daughter, very bright, keeps Gabble on her screen, adds a word now and then, comes out of lurking rarely to give a clue on an impossible word. She is amazing in her own right. I have a video of Demi dancing to poetry, but only one of her sibs will look at it.

8:55 am

rururocks

Not like the brothers grimm...sticks and stones will break my bones

8:56 am

MLFAN17

I have been in here when she is

8:56 am

RoundBarn

ru, you met rasta--gillian--but it takes time to get to know her--

8:57 am

rururocks

I havent yet. I invited her to come to an event i was doing...but she was a little shy to come

8:57 am

MLFAN17

you all are so lucky, I have come close a few times now to typing words into the chat box that are in the grid lol

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Toss out a 6 or 7 please, MLFAN.

They do, ruru. very social critters. Except, apparently, my antisocial senior pony who has no qualms about walking away from other horses to do his own thing.

10:20 am

jesdraggon

morning, car

10:21 am

jesdraggon

Earlier this spring I had them at the clinic to eat down the field there; he opened the gate and headed down the highway.

10:22 am

HarryHood

what a rascal!

10:22 am

rururocks

the others don't nag the pony about it?

10:22 am

jesdraggon

he's adorable and clever and a huge pain in the rear.

10:23 am

jesdraggon

oh, bird (the other horse) was screaming his head off, that's what woke me up.

10:24 am

jesdraggon

which i guess makes the younger, rideable horse ironically the nag, ruru. :P

10:30 am

jesdraggon

the girls of course all went with me when i headed out to look for him. so here's an image for your imagining - a purple haired me on a paint pony, with a yellow lab/pit mix leading out, a goat in a blue boot running alongside, and a corgi following after.

jes what a cute kitty

10:44 am

rururocks

your old "prince" days jes?

10:45 am

jesdraggon

thanks :) he's probably the single least mentally stable critter I've got, MLFAN

10:45 am

MLFAN17

really jes what is wrong with him?

10:45 am

jesdraggon

I am nowhere near as fabulous as Prince, ruru. I can only aspire.

10:46 am

rururocks

wish I could play the guitar like him

10:46 am

jesdraggon

He's a nutter. Been scared of everyone and everything since he was a baby - got him when he was about 5 weeks o.d and despite all the quiet petting and coaxing to play I could pour on, he spent the next 12 years hiding under furniture and in cupboards and only coming out at night.

10:47 am

MLFAN17

that is really weird

10:47 am

rururocks

we had one of those too.. always afraid

10:47 am

jesdraggon

Then he started destroying window screens and getting out, and spent about 2 years haunting my yard and garage and leaving dead things on my porch before one day he decided winter is for morons and walked back inside.

10:48 am

MLFAN17

our cat gets scared of almost every noise

10:48 am

MLFAN17

giving you dead things is just a gift he is giving you is all

10:48 am

jesdraggon

now that he's 17 he's decided to give this whole hanging with people thing a try, and keeps climbing into my lap or laying against me on the back of the couch

10:49 am

MLFAN17

aww that is sweet jes

10:49 am

jesdraggon

he's ... odd.

10:49 am

MLFAN17

so is our female cat and she is a few yrs old

10:50 am

jesdraggon

well, apparently there's hope that she'll settle in if you give her a decade and a half :D

hi judi

11:02 am

jesdraggon

Morning, Judi

11:03 am

jesdraggon

pretty spidder :)

11:03 am

Judi

Just reading about your neurotic cat, jes. One of my cats just decided she's afraid of the vent cover under the fridge. It fell off the other day and freaked her out.

11:05 am

jesdraggon

at least she has a reason... Ozy's just always been wired differently

11:06 am

Judi

I guess animals can have mental illness.

11:06 am

jesdraggon

sure. neurotypical is boring, right?

11:07 am

Judi

Sad to think your poor kitty spent most of his life in a cupboard, tho.

11:07 am

jesdraggon

they can get compulsive disorders and phobias certainly.

11:08 am

jesdraggon

he would come out at night and run around the house, and play with toys. just not when any humans were up and moving around.

11:09 am

Judi

Odd. Considering he was raised by humans. Just a loner, I guess.

11:09 am

jesdraggon

and he's never been an only cat, so always had other critters to socialize with. oddly, for as crazy as he is about humans he's been really easy to accept new cats and dogs, and adjusted to moves a lot faster than my 'normal' cats

11:10 am

Judi

Speciest cat!

11:12 am

jesdraggon

although... now that he's happier about humans, he does seem to think the newest kitty i brought home is a great subject for harassment and will follow her around occasionally prodding her while she hisses and tries to get him to leave her alone. always backs off just enough to avoid an outright fight then starts over...

11:13 am

Judi

Ah. Pecking order conversations. Always interesting.

11:13 am

jesdraggon

maybe he's just turning into a jerk as he gets older.

11:14 am

jesdraggon

and he's only cuddling with me to keep the other cat from doing so.

11:14 am

72 Temple Owl

feline dementia? dogs get it

11:16 am

HarryHood

our cat peed on my daughter's backpack yesterday - totally out of character. I can't figure it out. He tried it again today, same area, but I caught him before he did.

11:16 am

HarryHood

He is expressing his displeasure about something, I think. Just not sure what.

11:16 am

jesdraggon

or he has a urinary tract infection, harry

11:17 am

HarryHood

should I bring him to the vet?

11:17 am

bichon

de 6/21, pls

11:17 am

Judi

Yes. More likely a urinary tract infection.

11:17 am

HarryHood

ok. ty for the advice.

11:18 am

HarryHood

I recall from our last cat that getting them to take medicine is a battle.

11:18 am

Judi

He'll be set right after a day on antibiotics.

11:18 am

jesdraggon

i would. UTI are very common, and generally easily resolvable with antibiotics, but cats often form crystals in their urine when the pH changes, and male cats have such a narrow urethra that it can get entirely plugged, which becomes an expensive emergency, so getting on top of urinary issues promptly is very much recommended

11:19 am

Judi

Grab him by the scruff of the neck and shove that pill in as far as you can. Then prepare to be hated for a few hours.

11:19 am

HarryHood

with the last cat we'd hide it in cheese - she would chew up the cheese and spit out the pill.

11:20 am

jesdraggon

there are also a variety of options for treatment - so talk to the doc about what would be easiest to give. liquid to mix in with canned food, or maybe they have Convenia (1 injection, good for 10 days)

11:20 am

Judi

Pointless to try to hide a pill in anything for a cat. Luckily, our big boy is very good about pilling. Either that, or I have become an expert.

11:21 am

rururocks

I'm great at pilling cats

11:21 am

jesdraggon

we also have a tuna flavored liquid that's only once daily instead of twice, but it's fairly expensive

11:22 am

HarryHood

I'll try to take him in tomorrow.

11:25 am

Judi

Mmmm. Tuna flavored liquid. Let's do shots!

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

i changed to a white litter...white or light colored litter makes it easy to spot blood. my firstnmale got them very often

72 Temple Owl

hello stid

2:49 pm

jesdraggon

eh... if they've got shelter and access to water, and a safe enclosure outside is fine

2:50 pm

stidmama

When I was a kid, we always had a large fenced yard for the dog... but I admit I really cannot figure out whether we need a fenced area, or just a large outdoor kennel with some access to and from the house?

2:50 pm

stidmama

In our area, most people don't have the dogs fenced even...

2:50 pm

jesdraggon

depends on the dog, stid... i use invisible fence, myself, but that won't keep other animals out of the yard.

2:50 pm

stidmama

But I don't want my critters to wander. So a relatively large kennel would be okay for more-clement weather when I am away all day?

2:51 pm

stidmama

I would prefer invisible fence, to be honest. The dogs I am considering would be smart enough to respect the boundaries once learned.

2:51 pm

jesdraggon

An appropriately sized doghouse or access to a covered porch or garage, or even a dog door into the house

stidmama

(((TO))) almost didn't see your greeting -- how are you?

2:52 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am fine, stid, and you?

2:52 pm

stidmama

I was thinking a dog door into my office. :-) And fencing just that side of the house which is out of the way and somewhat sheltered. And a doghouse inside it.

2:53 pm

stidmama

I am okay, TO -- dealing with uncomfortable face reaction to an unknown allergen... *crossed mama eyes* but it's resolving, so that's good. Gives me an excuse to work on the computer and organize the filing on it.

2:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh, sorry to hear this.

2:54 pm

bichon

sounds like me stidmama.

2:55 pm

jesdraggon

that'd hit everything, stid

2:55 pm

stidmama

Oh -- and watching endless home-improvement shows.. :-D You'd think I'd be done with such things, but still working on the finishing touches in many rooms. Learning patience the hard way: too little money for too many ideas.

2:55 pm

jesdraggon

or take the dog to work with you :)

2:56 pm

jesdraggon

firewords! last word va5/16

2:56 pm

stidmama

:-D Okay, so responsible home-owner will create a dog sanctuary.... LOL no dogs allowed at school (probably getting TWO dogs, so they have companionship on the days I am away the longest).

2:56 pm

stidmama

YAY jes!

2:57 pm

stidmama

of course, I have yet to "spring" this on Tom, but I think he is seeing the writing on the wall (so to speak)

2:58 pm

jesdraggon

hehheh. he probably knows it's coming up stid

2:59 pm

stidmama

well, we have been married for so long, I suspect it won't be a bit of a surprise...

3:00 pm

jesdraggon

it's possible he knows you somewhat by now

3:01 pm

stidmama

yeah.... probably! LOL

3:04 pm

jesdraggon

have you started meeting dogs yet?

3:04 pm

stidmama

I have the phone numbers for people who know about a dog reclaimed from a kill shelter in another state... Stidkid#2 (he name is in the grid) says I should meet the dog before I commit, but he has met him and liked him.

3:05 pm

jesdraggon

i do think meeting before commitment is good advice

3:05 pm

stidmama

I cannot go looking now until the allergies abate... :-( What happens though, is I fall in love with dogs so easily. It doesn't take me long to find one! Or for them to find me.

3:07 pm

stidmama

Well, it would not be fair for a dog for me to adopt and then find out it has too much energy for me. I also need a dog that has the basic social skills to be easily integrated into our family -- I only have 6 weeks of vacation left, and so not a lot of "space" to get everything settled.

3:07 pm

bichon

A Bichon is hypo-allergenic

3:07 pm

jesdraggon

yeah... how do you do shelters, since most also have cats?

3:08 pm

stidmama

LOL true, bichon -- I have not been to a shelter in decades, jes. For that reason.

3:08 pm

bichon

I get mine from Small Paws Rescue

3:08 pm

Christini

Can someone send me the web site for babble? I need to install it on my new laptop. Thanks!

3:08 pm

jesdraggon

or do you have someone bring them out to meet you?

3:09 pm

stidmama

In the past, the dogs have found me. :-) The dogs I am looking at are currently being fostered in homes, so I could go see them without the feline problems.

3:09 pm

jesdraggon

that makes sense

3:09 pm

stidmama

I love how soft the fur of a bichon is.

3:09 pm

stidmama

I usually prefer mutts, though -- theoretically fewer issues.

3:10 pm

bichon

It's just cats you are allergic to stid? I used to be very allergic to cats, but seem to have outgrown that

3:10 pm

bichon

Bichons don't have fur, but rather hair. It must be cut and brushed.

3:11 pm

stidmama

Yes, the cat allergy is increasing, actually -- although there are still some cats I am okay with, unfortunately I cannot tell in advance when I won't be able to breathe.

3:11 pm

stidmama

oh --- I didn't realize that! :-) So much to learn.

3:11 pm

jesdraggon

sphinx cats?

3:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

they still dander, don't they?

3:12 pm

jesdraggon

those have worked well for a couple of friends of mine with cat allergies

3:12 pm

bichon

There are hairless ones, but that's not very appealing to me

3:12 pm

stidmama

oh! NBT!

3:12 pm

jesdraggon

yay stid!

3:12 pm

stidmama

Well, there was an Arabian Desert cat that was lost at our house overnight a couple summers ago. VERY allergic to that little one... :-(

3:13 pm

stidmama

And with all the feral cats in the neighborhood... I cannot see bringing in felines. Also, mother swells up with hives if she touches a cat- wouldn't want to experiment on her!

3:13 pm

bichon

does it have fur?

3:17 pm

72 Temple Owl

grr, i cannot see how to get 8 v words out of this.

3:17 pm

bichon

I have them, do you want a clue

3:17 pm

stidmama

I only have 4 V words...

3:18 pm

bichon

which ones do you need?

3:19 pm

stidmama

I am not halfway yet, so haven't listed... going to have to take an eyeball break. Thanks for the visiting and the pet advice, friends! *poof*

6:27 pm

6:27 pm

ty lynxxx - didn't think of that -- can you tell I'm no mathematician?

6:29 pm

lilliann

Ty Sukee and jellen

6:30 pm

Jellen

Ooh, ty!

6:30 pm

lynxxx

6:30 pm

Ty lynxx

6:30 pm

sukee

Almost half way...

6:31 pm

sukee

6:33 pm

cybernan

6:33 pm

lilliann

i have 42 left and don't know which way i'm going!!If i ever see t's and e's again it'll be too soon!

6:34 pm

Jellen

Va 5/16, the last?

6:35 pm

lynxxx

va & ca***l knowledge is a crime

6:35 pm

Lizlin

Hi all and thanks, Lyn

6:36 pm

lynxxx

morning Liz

6:36 pm

Lizlin

Cold morning here :(

6:36 pm

Jellen

Ty

6:36 pm

lilliann

Hi Liz

6:37 pm

Lizlin

Hi lill

6:37 pm

lynxxx

still 8 here and probably won't get much warmer

6:37 pm

sukee

28 here right now :)

6:38 pm

Lizlin

OK - I guess I shouldn't complain. Will get to about 16 here - but that's probably the coldest daytime temp, since I've lived here.

6:38 pm

Lizlin

I'm totally acclimatised to the warmer weather here now. I'd freeze to death if I were back in London.

6:38 pm

cybernan

first es 8 please?

6:39 pm

lynxxx

do you get the humidity up there (Brisbane right?)

6:39 pm

lilliann

I had to put on the heating here tonight Liz but i do live up North so it is colder than down south

6:39 pm

Lizlin

Get a few weeks of humidity in summer - but not all at once. A few days here and there. Thank goodness for aircon!

6:39 pm

lynxxx

the 1st es8 much like the othere but ending in most of the mythical creature again

6:40 pm

lilliann

es8 is a different spelling of female hormones

6:41 pm

Lizlin

Problem where I live, Lill, is that houses don't have heating like in the UK. We have installed reverse cycle aircon, which is pretty effective but expensive and when you turn it off the house cools really quickly.

6:41 pm

lynxxx

I looked up the def and it is actually another spelling of tarragon - who knew

6:41 pm

Lizlin

Thanks for that es 8 - the tarragon helped me find the ending!

6:42 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - thanks for the help :-)

6:42 pm

Lizlin

Congrats, nan

6:42 pm

lynxxx

congrats Nan!

6:43 pm

lilliann

So you don't have radiators Liz or indoor fires?

6:43 pm

lilliann

Yay!Wtg Nan!! ;-)

6:43 pm

Lizlin

No we don't.

6:43 pm

cybernan

Back at the flip. Good night, lilli. Hagd Lix and Lynxxx.

6:44 pm

Lizlin

Thanks, Nan. Enjoy your evening.

6:44 pm

6:44 pm

Lizlin

6:44 pm

lilliann

Goodnight Nan, sweet dreams and tc.

6:45 pm

lilliann

Actually, i meant have a good day Nan:-)

6:46 pm

lilliann

Forget that, i'm getting confused with time differencers!!

6:47 pm

Lizlin

Lots get confused with that here.

6:48 pm

lilliann

How do you heat your house in the winter then Liz as it's going to be colder than the Summer

6:48 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi all

6:49 pm

lynxxx

hi Owl

6:49 pm

Lizlin

The air con can be reversed to heat but that's an expensive system. It's effective while it's running but the house cools quickly. Some people have wood burning stoves installed.

6:49 pm

Lizlin

I guess there are other forms of heating too but where I am, there are few (if any) houses with radiators.

6:49 pm

Lizlin

Hi TO

6:49 pm

lilliann

Hi To :-)

6:50 pm

Lizlin

Phew! 8s finally finished.

6:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi lyn, hi liz, hi lil

6:52 pm

lilliann

My next door neighbour has a wood burning stove which heats up his radiators

6:53 pm

Lizlin

A friend has a wood burning stove - it's great when you're in front of it, not so good if you move away.

6:54 pm

lilliann

I should say it isn't a stove it's a fire in the lounge but it heats up the water

6:54 pm

lynxxx

english people generally grumble when they come to Aust to live...we have never had the heating that is required in England - a much more temperate climate - especially where Liz lives.

6:54 pm

Lizlin

Best solution is to wear layers.

6:54 pm

lynxxx

not that Liz would ever grumble!

6:54 pm

lilliann

I would love to come and live in Aus, i always have done, but too late now!

6:55 pm

Jellen

ne 7/40, the second?

6:55 pm

Lizlin

It's a really lovely climate here - I'm not really grumbling (OK perhaps I am!). Really there are very few days, when it gets cold here. I love it here.

6:55 pm

lilliann

I don't have that one yet Jellen.

6:56 pm

LuvWordGames

ne 7/40 most of what makes you feel things + consumed

6:56 pm

lilliann

That's the ne7 i'm missing

6:56 pm

Lizlin

For me it's the big difference between the winter day / night temperatures that I find difficult. It might be in the low 20s during the day but down to single figures at night.

6:57 pm

lilliann

Hey stid. I sure hope you are feeling better and your face has gone back to normal.

9:47 pm

stidmama

hey again jellen

9:47 pm

rururocks

hope that things are calmer around your house

9:47 pm

Bugsaw

I am getting SO bugged by the process. I went and ordered the cabinets and flooring over 2 months before I wanted it installed. I was sure that would be marked into their calendars and would be honoured. Now I find out that the floor guys have booked to put the floors in AFTER the cupboards which have allready been put back one week. I told the floor guys I would make them cookies if they came when I wanted but they just it was funny

9:48 pm

Bugsaw

I hate living in all this clutter

9:48 pm

Jellen

Yuck, Bugs...

9:48 pm

stidmama

:-(

they clearly do not know of your cookie-making prowess...

9:49 pm

stidmama

I hated that part of construction -- although mostly things came in the right order and the right things were installed in the right places, there were several instances that were less than stellar.

9:50 pm

Jellen

Things are calmer in my house...Loki (the dog) seems to be under control. Tempted, but not acting out.

9:51 pm

Bugsaw

I have never tried to do a renovation this big before. I listened to all the sad stories I could gather and approached it as carefully as possible. The good thing is that I have not come accross big money problems like the house is on a tilt or is riddled with dryrot so that is good

9:51 pm

Bugsaw

Perhaps you shouldn't have named him Loki, Jellen. Did you create a self-fullfulling prophesy?

9:51 pm

stidmama

glad your dog is getting himself under control (although, really -- with that name, was entropy not inevitable?)

9:52 pm

Jellen

Lol. Afraid so!

9:52 pm

stidmama

snap, bugs

9:53 pm

Bugsaw

I was thinking the same thing but forgot about snap

9:54 pm

rururocks

yeah.. I shouldn't have named my dog Dylan.. he keeps trying to lick Joan Baez in Woodside

9:55 pm

rururocks

(that was a joke everyone

9:56 pm

Jellen

Bahahaha!

9:56 pm

stidmama

I don't get it.... *youthful mama look*

9:56 pm

rururocks

you're too young to know the joke stid

9:57 pm

Jellen

I was a history minor.

9:57 pm

Bugsaw

you are bad rurur

9:57 pm

stidmama

ah... of course

9:59 pm

Jellen

I don't know how parents do it. I'm not good at being vigilant.

10:00 pm

Bugsaw

lots of parents aren't either Jellen. Don't worry. He probably won't grow up to be a juvenile delinquent and your name won't go in the paper

10:00 pm

stidmama

Parents, and teachers, learn to make the usual spaces very safe... set clear limits, be consistent in enforcing the limits and expectations -- and we are lucky. All it takes is having to use the bathroom when you think the kids are napping, for the one who can reach the doorknob to wake up and decide to take a walk...

10:01 pm

Jellen

Referring to watching the dog-cat interactions.

10:02 pm

crosshair

Bugsaw, I see that you are in the midst of a home reno. When were were in construction, we had a guide for do-it-yourself home reno jobs: First you price it all out--the labour, materials, everything. Then, you deduct 10% for deals, freebies, discounts etc. Finally, you take the remaining figure and double it, and you should be close. :)

10:03 pm

stidmama

hello cross!

10:03 pm

crosshair

Howdy, Stidmama :)

10:03 pm

Bugsaw

I did all that crossy and so far things are coming in to the budget without too much trouble. It is getting the workmen to do what they said they would do when the said they would do it that is my problem!

True story: we had the frame and cladding all up on a build. It was Friday, and we had the electrician set to pull wire on Monday and the inspector set for Tuesday A.M, and the drywallers for Tuesday afternoon. Well, I do not know if the drywall guy was drunk or what, but he decided to come in Saturday and drywall the entire place because he had another job starting Tuesday. I came on Monday, took one look at the beautiful job, picked up the phone and told him to come back and rip it all out in time for the electrician...

10:09 pm

stidmama

ugh....

10:09 pm

Bugsaw

What a pinhead that drywaller was

10:09 pm

crosshair

A lesson for the subs: always communicate.

10:10 pm

Bugsaw

or think!

10:11 pm

You think the lack of wiring or outlets would have given it away...
