i helped make a move for the Baltimore 48Hour Film Project on Saturday. We shot all 75 scenes for our 7 minute movie in only 12.5 hours. A good day, despite two hours of outdoor scenes in the heat.

12:08 am

Aloyisius

wtg, dcs!

12:08 am

dcseain

the V is easy today.

12:09 am

dcseain

thanks, aloy. It was fun as always. I was the Gaffer.I'd set up a scene for evening only to be informed it was now a daytime scene. Happily, that was change one light, and voilÃ .

12:09 am

Nef

I just got here when the grid changed; unfortunately, I can't stay & chat because I'm too darned tired. We're getting our floor refinished & some friends came & helped us move furniture & stuff; I'm going to bed in a few minutes.

12:09 am

Nef

WTG, dc! That sounds interesting'

12:10 am

dcseain

enjoy the "new" floor, nef, and rest well.

12:10 am

dcseain

This in the 8th 48hour film project i've done with most of this crew. Various competitions in Washington, DC and Baltimore through some years now.

12:10 am

Aloyisius

12:10 am

Nef

Good Night & Happy Babbling Everyone!

good morning all

12:40 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs, Sprite

12:40 am

Lizlin

Lovely to see you - bit early though, isn't it?

12:40 am

sprite

*hugs back* Hello Liz!

12:41 am

Lizlin

Sounds like you had a lovely birthday. You are rightly very proud of Caya.

12:41 am

sprite

it is 7.40 am here. Just waved off my girl, who is going to help out on a bicycle trekking week organised by school.

12:42 am

sprite

she is amazing

12:42 am

Lizlin

That's early! I'm sure she'll have a lovely week.

12:42 am

sprite

oh yes, she is gonna have a terrific time.

12:43 am

sprite

how are you and your beloved?

12:44 am

Lizlin

We're fine - going out to see the whales again tomorrow, though I doubt it'll be anywhere near as good as it was last Thursday.

12:44 am

sprite

that was something special, Liz, wow. Thanks so much for sharing the picture.

12:45 am

Lizlin

It was perfect! Hubby missed the shot, so I was doubly happy with that.

12:46 am

sprite

really tough to take a picture at exactly the right time. Good thing you both were trying.

12:47 am

Lizlin

You end up sitting with your camera poised, looking just ahead of where you last saw the whales, hoping you've got the right place, where they'll next surface. We sit like that for the whole trip.

12:47 am

Lizlin

And don't get distracted by dolphins!

12:48 am

sprite

hahaha I couldn't do it. I would be too busy looking all over the place

12:48 am

rururocks

only if you do it on porpoise liz

12:48 am

Lizlin

You wouldn't because you see the blow from quite a way off, then the boat heads in that direction, so you do have an idea where they'll be.

12:49 am

sprite

but but but dolphins!

12:49 am

Lizlin

:) - too sleepy to think of a quick comment back, Ru.

12:49 am

sprite

hiya ru :)

12:49 am

rururocks

hi sprite

12:49 am

Bugsaw

what kind of whales are you looking for Lizlin?

12:49 am

Lizlin

I know. I love the dolphins too and the flying fish! Don't see them too often though. Turtles too.

12:49 am

Lizlin

Southern humpbacks, Bugs.

12:50 am

sprite

one day, Liz. One day I will go whale spotting with you and your beloved.

12:50 am

Lizlin

We'll have about 18 - 20,000 pass through here. We're right in the middle of their migration, so we get them swimming north and south. Long season here - June - September are the main times though.

12:51 am

Lizlin

Awesome, Sprite - love taking friends out with us.

12:51 am

Bugsaw

I just saw my first humpback this spring. Ususally we see orcas

12:51 am

sprite

hiya Bugs :)

12:52 am

Lizlin

Fantastic! I love orcas too - saw them when I was in Canada.

12:52 am

rururocks

(saw the same humpback Bugs saw)

12:53 am

sprite

you are so special, ru, being able to recognise their facfes

12:53 am

sprite

faces* even

12:53 am

Lizlin

Saw humpbacks in Alaska too - they are just amazing creatures.

12:53 am

rururocks

finished

12:53 am

Bugsaw

hello to everyone here.

12:54 am

sprite

wtg ru!

12:54 am

rururocks

it's really a fluke if you can recognize them sprite :D

12:54 am

Lizlin

Congrats, Ru.

12:54 am

sprite

LOL ru

12:54 am

rururocks

the 9 is a doozy

12:54 am

rururocks

I had to look it up

12:54 am

Bugsaw

ruru, you are a speedster

12:54 am

Lizlin

I guess I will too, then.

12:55 am

sprite

that doesn't bode well for this notoriously biggie-blind babbler

12:56 am

rururocks

it's a really tough word.. means hoarfrost

12:56 am

sprite

thanks, that will help

12:56 am

Lizlin

A lot :)

12:57 am

Bugsaw

1:01 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Hello dear friend. How was your day? Your flowers are amazing! As are you.

1:02 am

grannyrose

hi ya liz. thanx for your lovely pic and greetings.. would you believe it? neither of us remembered. we had so much to today that we didn't actually see the date.

1:03 am

Lizlin

I had to look that word up - would never have found that.

1:03 am

Lizlin

yw Rose. Hope you're having a lovely day.

1:03 am

Lizlin

Thanks for the help, Ru.

1:03 am

rururocks

1:05 am

sprite

lol ru

1:05 am

Lizlin

:)

1:05 am

sprite

still looking for the 9. Guess it is time to use a2z

1:06 am

grannyrose

and deacon won an award for the way he played his game today. coach had him in centre. tall kid on same team would knock down the ball to deacon who would catch it and run like heck for his goal.

1:06 am

rururocks

I kind of clued it sprite

1:06 am

Lizlin

It was a good clue - well, when I knew the word!

1:06 am

sprite

I noticed. Am being stoopid here though

1:06 am

sprite

wooooot yay for deacon!

1:07 am

Lizlin

Like Ru said, most of a bird and German empire almost/

1:07 am

Lizlin

WTG Deacon.

1:07 am

grannyrose

boy can those kick a ball now !! all those little legs pumping like crazy to get the ball and kick a goAL. i laughed and laughed.

1:08 am

Lizlin

How old is he now?

1:08 am

sprite

oh empire! I read army. See, am really being stoopid today.

1:08 am

grannyrose

LOLOLLLL and they STILL pile on top of each other on top of the ball and just about every time deacon is the one on the very botton, clutching the ball.

1:09 am

grannyrose

liz, he has just turned eight.

1:09 am

sprite

awwww bless his soul

1:09 am

Lizlin

I have no understanding of Aussie Rules at all.

1:10 am

grannyrose

and your point is, liz?? *giggling*

1:10 am

grannyrose

i only watch because they wear those itty-bitty shorts. and accidents DO happen...

1:10 am

Lizlin

No point. Just a statement but the short shorts are cool! Not on Deacon though - well not for me.

1:12 am

grannyrose

i was talking about the big boys games, liz. the kids... i watch because they are so earnest and sweet in trying so very hard to play the game.

1:12 am

Lizlin

I know that! And you only watch the little boys because of Deacon.

1:12 am

sprite

*giggles* Didn't take you for a cradle robber, Liz

1:12 am

Lizlin

Definitely not!

1:13 am

grannyrose

no, i'm the cradle robber. himself is 2 years younger than i am. he had to be to keep up with me. well... that was back then

1:14 am

Lizlin

Mine is 2 years older than me.

1:14 am

sprite

found it. Thanks to the enable list in Lickety's resources. For crying out loud, that is an odd one.

1:15 am

sprite

mine is 9 years older than I am. Guess he robbed the cradle :D

1:15 am

grannyrose

very strange one indeed sprite.

1:15 am

Lizlin

I found it in more words. Down to 21 now but rushing to finish because of the whales tomorrow.

1:15 am

sprite

should have told me it was Scots, lol

1:16 am

Lizlin

I guess that might've worked too.

1:16 am

sprite

nah just kidding, I would never ever have found it without looking it up

1:17 am

Lizlin

But when you know the word, Ru's clue makes so much sense.

1:17 am

sprite

true!

1:19 am

rururocks

Well...it does

1:20 am

sprite

it does. It was me being dense, not any failure at the side of your clue

1:20 am

rururocks

Pictures goose-stepping cranes

1:21 am

sprite

that one went right over my head, I am afraid

1:23 am

sprite

halfway

1:23 am

rururocks

Nice

1:24 am

sprite

now for the tougher halve

1:27 am

Lizlin

2nd half is definitely tougher.

1:28 am

grannyrose

have just taken an endone so please excuse me if i drop out of chat. i will try to stay alert.....

1:28 am

sprite

lol rose... sure, sure, blame the endone. *cough cough BOURBON cough cough*

1:29 am

Lizlin

Hope it helps, Rose.

1:31 am

grannyrose

hahahaha sprite. nope none in the house tonight.

1:31 am

1:37 am

grannyrose

1:38 am

8:39 am

Scrabbler

Hi kids.

8:42 am

welki

scrabbs - the things we sign up for

8:43 am

Scrabbler

I am still in shock. But for the next 5 days I am in the Adirondack Mtns and can my head ready for what lies ahead. And make phone calls, do emails, etc.

8:46 am

welki

years ago, i took in a young cousin without any notice - even though i had three small children at the time, it was still a huge disruption to my home.

so try to keep your wits about you when things are nutso and you're questioning your sanity. if anyone is up for the task, it's you. the boys are supremely lucky to have you in their lives.

8:49 am

Scrabbler

The sad thing is that they will return to life with one or both parents, certainly their mother, and it will never be ideal, but I want to remain involved forever.

8:51 am

welki

i get the feeling that, even though your situation changed quickly, the scenario had been building for quite some time. and during that time, you managed to maintain a relationship with the family (because you were able to spend time with the boys) - keeping that relationship, after the boys go back, will be more difficult, but not impossible.

8:53 am

Scrabbler

I need to maintain a positive relationship with my nephew and with the mother of the boys in order to remain involved with my grandnephews. I must be seen as a helper and not as an enemy.

8:55 am

welki

which will be incredibly hard to do - when you see kids on an occasional basis, you notice 'things,' but they don't seem as huge as when you're with them every day and realize that there are big pieces of the puzzle that have either been lost, broken or ignored altogether.

i'm sure you see what i'm talking about on a daily basis in your practice, but when it hits home, it feels like you've been punched in the stomach

8:58 am

crosshair

Scrabby, you are a blessing for these two boys. We all support you 100%, and know that those children are in good hand indeed. :)

8:58 am

Scrabbler

The problems have been building for years and this is actually a good situation now, a serious wake-up call for the parents, although neither recognizes themselves as the problem and just blames the other.

8:59 am

Scrabbler

I love them deeply, Crossy, and have tried to protect them from birth.

9:02 am

Scrabbler

Welki, it is so difficult to feel helpless to repair a situation completely, but to only be there one or two days weekly to be a sane person for the boys. Now I will be a daily presence for them, even if just for 4 months.

9:03 am

crosshair

You will have two enthusiastic helpers for the rabbits :)

9:06 am

welki

my hope with my cousin was that she'd learn what 'normal' felt like and could keep some of that feeling, that life didn't always have to be frenetic and fragmented.

i didn't have an ongoing relationship with her family, so when she left, she was just gone, so i had no continuity

9:10 am

welki

(on the bright side, she ended up graduating from a good university and is living a good life)

9:10 am

welki

(on the bright side, she ended up graduating from a good university and is living a good life)

9:12 am

welki

sorry for the stutter.

really, what i want to say is that the boys have more life opportunities with you in their lives than without you, so this time together, while intense and exhausting, will help them more than you can imagine

9:13 am

Scrabbler

I just don't want the parents to push me out. I want them to keep me in the boys' lives, to know that I want to keep helping.

9:13 am

car.eeyore

Good morning everyone

9:14 am

car.eeyore

We are patiently waiting the news of the birth of a niece or nephew!

9:16 am

Scrabbler

No birth. I am the legal guardian of my grandnephews, Car! CPS delivered them to me on July 6th!

9:16 am

welki

there'll likely be resentment, no matter what you do to include them (things tend to get turned around over time), but you'll do the best you can to keep them in the loop (so they'll consider you an asset, not a liability) and, with a little luck, it'll help

9:16 am

crosshair

Howdy, car :)

9:17 am

rururocks

you have them now scrab?

9:17 am

car.eeyore

I know! I am so happy for you and for them!

9:17 am

car.eeyore

Hi all!

9:18 am

rururocks

good morning car.

9:22 am

hurshy

scrabs, i think car was saying she's awaiting a birth :)

9:23 am

car.eeyore

Yup!

9:23 am

hurshy

9:24 am

hurshy

thank you monkey!!

9:27 am

rururocks

has scrabs been two-timing George Clooney's wife?

9:27 am

hurshy

i think i'm missing the point of that joke, ruru

9:29 am

rururocks

oh.. I thought that scrabs thought that car asked if she had given birth. and since George Clooney is her secret lover.. I put two and two together

9:29 am

Scrabbler

No, Ruru, I am over George.

9:29 am

rururocks

oh.. sorry then scrabs

9:29 am

rururocks

another Hollywood cast off for scrabs

9:29 am

Scrabbler

I must get going, kids. Enjoy the day.

9:29 am

hurshy

we're only talking about nephews and nieces, no sons/daughters, anyway, haha

9:30 am

car.eeyore

((Scrabs))

9:31 am

rururocks

ok then hursh.. I give up and say uncle

9:32 am

hurshy

hehe

9:32 am

MollyL

I think a lot of women who were once into Clooney are now over him.

9:32 am

hurshy

really? i like him more now that he's married a really impressive woman.

9:33 am

lil*monkey

I definitely like him LESS now.

9:34 am

rururocks

he did marry a very impressive woman

9:35 am

rururocks

I love the bit that tina fey and amy poehler did at the golden globes kidding him about it.

9:44 am

lil*monkey

Fireworks!

9:44 am

car.eeyore

Congrats!

9:44 am

lil*monkey

Clues anyone?

9:45 am

bichon

I'm more into Matt McConaghy

9:45 am

lil*monkey

There are some really weird words. I was stuck on the si words for a while.

9:46 am

hurshy

clue us up some weird ones then :)

9:46 am

lil*monkey

Yes bichon, Matthew is waaaaaaay hotter.

9:46 am

car.eeyore

Yes, I am trying to find the second S word from the lower right corner.

9:46 am

lil*monkey

si5 is how a New Yawker pronounces the metal that is not gold.

9:46 am

hurshy

i don't find him attractive at ALL, yuck

9:47 am

I'm an ex-New Yorker and the only time a New York accent comes up is when I'm around someone like Anniebrook

9:48 am

crosshair

Have one of them myself :)

9:48 am

lil*monkey

I don't mind that accent and didn't mean to offend with my clue, just thought it might be recognizable.

9:49 am

car.eeyore

I think it is really more of a Boston accent

9:49 am

lil*monkey

I have a southern accent myself,, and I say y'all all day.

9:50 am

car.eeyore

I say "Y'all" too and people give me guff. I think I must have been southern in a past life because I have many "southern" sayings in my normal vocab.

9:50 am

kje

stats for the 9 please?

9:50 am

bichon

I can't get used to a Boston accept even though it's only 100 miles from me. But I do like to say "wicked pisser"

hey jes

6:15 pm

jesdraggon

hey stid :)

6:16 pm

stidmama

:-D

6:16 pm

jesdraggon

so that owner i was telling you about the other day, that is refusing to pay for boarding? she came back, it gets better.

6:16 pm

stidmama

okay...

6:17 pm

jesdraggon

came in and swore up and down that she was told 11/night, not 18/night, that we were lying to her, and that she was going to get a lawyer and call the BBB

6:17 pm

stidmama

ugh

6:18 pm

jesdraggon

we repeated what we'd told her in the first place, and she stormed out... and apparently stormed straight to city police, because an officer called to ask what the ado was from our side.

6:18 pm

stidmama

*rolls eyes*

6:18 pm

jesdraggon

Said she wanted to file fraud charges against us!

6:19 pm

stidmama

frack...

6:20 pm

jesdraggon

so receptionist explained what was up, and officer said that (as we all know) he has no authority over what a business charges for their services and he'd tell her that if she wanted to dispute it, she'd have to take us to small claims courth.

6:20 pm

jesdraggon

court.

6:20 pm

jesdraggon

at this point i hope she does it, it'll be effing hilarious to watch the judge stomp her down.

6:21 pm

stidmama

your receptionist deserves choclits...

6:21 pm

stidmama

you deserve a halo!

6:22 pm

jesdraggon

i am unceasingly amused by people who think I will be immediately frightened into caving to unreasonable demands by the word "lawyer"

6:23 pm

jesdraggon

like the conversation if she called one wouldn't go along the gist of "so you are refusing to pay them for services you requested? you... uh... you do realize I'm going to be expected to be paid for services, right?"

6:23 pm

stidmama

Can I assume that before an owner is allowed to drop off an animal they have to sign paperwork that outlines the basic charges?

6:23 pm

stidmama

That's what we have to do here...

6:24 pm

jesdraggon

not generally, no. We don't typically NEED a written contract for boarding services. We do written estimates for surgeries and such frequently but boarding? no. On the other hand, her dog's "medical chart" currently consists of like 3 lines about the dog and 4 pages of notes about conversations with her nuttiness.

6:25 pm

stidmama

ah -- That makes sense.

6:25 pm

stidmama

And wow... I know it's important to document everything, but .... wow.

6:26 pm

stidmama

that's a lot of documenting!

6:26 pm

jesdraggon

yah. If it's not in writing, it didn't happen.

6:27 pm

stidmama

oooh. down to 25! I can list! :-)

6:27 pm

jesdraggon

yay you!

6:28 pm

jesdraggon

i have 66 left

6:29 pm

stidmama

it won't take you long. This is not as challenging as it seemed at first, although a lot of words are not too common, they are easily monkeyed.

6:35 pm

jesdraggon

how goes your weekend outside the grid? allergy issues going away?

6:37 pm

stidmama

allergy is continuing to subside, thanks -- I can be in the sunlight again (although Grant asked this morning if I knew my nose was peeling... *sigh*), and I am comfortably able to eat my favorite foods again. :-) But it has been rainy, and I have been getting over two days of a lot of activity -- meeting kiwi Thursday and then an art party at my house Friday. Fun, but exhausting!

6:37 pm

stidmama

So, just sitting and enjoying today. Being quiet feels nice.

6:38 pm

jesdraggon

art party?

6:40 pm

stidmama

Yes, I have some silk and paints, and had friends over for a few hours to play with them. It was fun.

6:40 pm

jesdraggon

sounds like a blast

6:40 pm

stidmama

it was great fun

6:41 pm

stidmama

We'll do it again, and have something nice to look forward to.

6:44 pm

rururocks

did you scarf down any food stid?

6:44 pm

stidmama

LOL we did, ruru -- sandwiches for most, salad for me.

6:45 pm

jesdraggon

food sounds good...

6:47 pm

stidmama

you know, I may be "learning" something about food and myself: if I take some time to prepare the veggies in bulk when I bring them home, then I am more likely to make a salad or a soup or a side dish rather than letting them sit until they go bad...

6:48 pm

rururocks

I just buy enough fruit and veggies for a couple of days at a time.. and buy fresh more often

6:48 pm

rururocks

but it is just me here.. not a whole crew

6:49 pm

stidmama

We live a LONG way from a decent grocery store: most of the year we buy veggies from a local CSA and get delivery once a week or once a month. I just don't have the energy to drive in to town to shop for groceries because it's an extra hour of just driving to get there and back...

6:50 pm

rururocks

I did organizational stuff around the house today and some cleaning and made a quiche for breakfast .. I am now just chillin'

6:50 pm

stidmama

If I lived in a town or city I would probably just drop by and get things as I wanted them.

6:50 pm

rururocks

oh.. didn't realize you lived in the boonies

6:50 pm

stidmama

oh, I love quiche! :-)

6:50 pm

rururocks

I live five minutes from Whole Foods

6:50 pm

stidmama

that would be so convenient!

6:51 pm

rururocks

it is.. but WF is really expensive

6:51 pm

stidmama

true -- although for just one person, probably manageable?

6:53 pm

rururocks

yes.. more or less

6:53 pm

Good evening, everybody:)

I remember "Guitarzan," Gwen. I was the geeky kid who used to order all those cheaply made K-Tel off the ads on T.V Guitarzan was on the "Goofy Greats" collection of 22 songs as I recall. :)

9:14 pm

crosshair

K-Tel records*

9:15 pm

crosshair

The reason they were able to get 11 songs on a side was because they cut the grooves so tight for each song, your stylus had to be in perfect condition, or it would skip like crazy, and you would be forced to tape a stack of pennies to the top of the tone-arm :)

9:20 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i was reading anotehr website, back now

9:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oh, yes, i remember the days of putting coins on the tone-arm. we would usually use a quarter

9:28 pm

crosshair

I was always broke from buying records, so it was pennies for me. Was a used record shop near me where I could get 45's for 25 cents and used 33 1/3 LP's for a dollar :)

9:29 pm

crosshair

Sigh. Gone are the day of buying an entire record or cassette for just one song you HAD to have. :)

9:52 pm

Dorens

Gosh. to ruru! I wasn't lurking. How is it lurking if you sign on and just play the grid without reading the chog? That might be antisocial in the eyes of some, but all I was doing was playing the game! Sheesh ( a word I've learned from reading the chog, which I certainly do sometimes)!

10:04 pm

Dorens

Tada!

10:13 pm

crosshair

Yaa for Dorens!

10:26 pm

stidmama

YAY doren!
