2:27 am
sprite
sounds great! Glad you enjoyed yourself.
2:27 am
flosey
itwas lovely and relaxing
2:27 am
flosey

2:29 am

3:33 am
grannyrose
quietish. still being motivated to do stuff. have sorted through another pile of papers... AND scrubbed the sink down. also shredded another pile of papers. lolll hope i don't need them.
3:34 am
sprite
wow well done. Hey, if you do need them, either tell them they didn't survive your spring cleaning, or lie and tell them the cat peed on them and you had to throw them out :D
3:35 am

rose, te7: anagram of crying fluid + unit of electrical resistance. It is a million times million of 'em.
3:40 am

this so-and-so of a grid took me just over 3 1/2 hours. and i enjoyed every minute of it... loll
3:40 am
sprite
it is very enjoyable
3:41 am
grannyrose
my time included helping to put the shopping away. *shrug* i have had such fun
3:43 am
grannyrose
i think i am inspiring himself. he has been through the 'camera'/'phone cupboard. he has cleaned out so much stuff. obviously he is much better.
3:43 am
sprite
very good! Great to hear he is feeling better.
3:44 am
grannyrose
i cleaned the dish drainer today, the whole sink, and half of the window sill. plus did all the dishes.
3:45 am
sprite
sounds good, as long as you don't overdo things
3:46 am
grannyrose
sprite, honey, i am so delighted that i am still motivated to do things.
3:47 am
sprite
yes, that is wonderful. Makes all the difference. However, let your body be leading in this, not your motivation :)
3:47 am
grannyrose
maybe, maybe.
3:49 am

i saw your agenda for today. it looks so doable. i hope you can re4 sometime.

4:05 am

4:05 am
grannyrose
would you two like me to reset the chog?
4:05 am

4:05 am

We can do it together, Rose.

MollyL
Belated...Versace
4:21 am
zoozzoom
Correct! Molly, wins a Free pass of the PB for today!
4:23 am
MollyL
Well, a big grid = lots of people in the PB. I'll get the bar and appetizer buffet set up.
4:30 am
MollyL
Good thing Lickety is around today. People would be singing the blues if he wasn't.
4:32 am
zoozzoom
Yes I would imagine it also being manic at the flip if that was the case!
4:32 am
MollyL
When there is no Lickety, the flip is often a series of long lists for each letter.
4:34 am
zoozzoom
True...I have been there on the odd occasion of not being able to sleep. And it is normally way too fast for me. lol

Half way - no 9s and only two 8s. I really don't see myself finishing, especially as a friend is coming for lunch (quite possibly beer) in an hour or so
4:54 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Matty. I hope you have a great time with yourfriend today!
4:55 am
MollyL
Oh make it definitely beer. And a friend for lunch and beer is much more fun than finishing the grid.
4:56 am
mattygroves
When I said 'quite possibly', I did in fact mean definitely. The only question is whether the lunch shall be entirely liquid or whether food will be involved ;)

5:42 am

Well, it's not "the c word". That is the one people seem to complain about most often.
5:43 am

Managed to find 51 of the C words so far :-)

Not much action on the chog today. Everyone's hard at work

... it's hard to keep track of what you've put in
8:30 am
bichon
true dose, not even half way yet
8:31 am
doseffing
... just about half way ... trying to complete a letter before going on to the next ... so I have lots of letters I haven't tried yet ... but if I start running around the grid I'll miss more than I find
8:31 am
bichon
the 84 c's are difficult
8:32 am
ursh
and boring too bichon
8:32 am

... got to 69 before moving on ... of course simply finding them on the list is going to be difficult once I get to the point of listing ... ... but we all love a challenge
8:33 am
bichon
hi ursh. Where do you live in SA. I've only been in the airport in J'berg
8:33 am
ursh
I live in Durban - which is east coast of SA
8:34 am
bichon
sounds nice
8:35 am
ursh
It is nice - just blazing hot and humid summers and we are almost into this years'
8:35 am
bichon
I've been to Namibia, Botswana and Livingstone Falls
8:36 am
ursh
Would like to go to Namibia - my husband has been there on fishing trips - but boys only :(
8:37 am
bichon
We've been in Etosh National Park and the Okavango Delta in Botswana
8:38 am
ursh
You enjoy wild game then Bichon ?
8:39 am
bichon
Yes, the only place we can se it is in a zoo. But I never felt safe. There were guards in the supermarkets with sub-machine guns
8:41 am
ursh
Oh yeah is scary - As i sit at my computer there is a troop of vervet monkeys feeding off palm nuts in my garden. We have to close all windows cos the little devils will steal anything that is vaguely edible
8:43 am
ursh
These creatures are completely urbanised and live happily in the concrete jungle stealing what they can
8:43 am
LuvWordGames
and I thought urbanised deer were annoying!
8:45 am
ursh
Haha Luv - at least deer are not exactly "bright" the monkeys are extremely clever and can open most storage containers in the kitchen
8:47 am
LuvWordGames
I have to agree. I'll think twice about grousing about the deer eating the plants in my yard from now on. Have to remember it could be worse.
8:54 am
bichon
We have coyotes which are really dangerous to small dogs
8:55 am
LuvWordGames
yes we have those too & they're getting bolder; my neighbor keeps seeing one coming closer and closer to her house
8:55 am
gemini_J13
we have coyotes here too, but more troubling is the sightings of mountain lions
8:56 am
LuvWordGames
that would be scary-where do you live gemini?
8:56 am
bichon
One walked through my yard with lunch in his mouth [a bird]
8:56 am
LuvWordGames
that's bold, bichon
8:56 am
bichon
you must live in CA gemini
8:56 am
gemini_J13
Kansas
8:57 am
bichon
mountain lions in Kansas! That seems weird
8:59 am
bichon
I googled it and it's true. I always think of mountain lions in mountains, not prarie. We even had one in CT which had migrated from the midwest
9:00 am
gemini_J13
our fish/wildlife department has denied that mountain lions are in KS for many years,, now people are seeing them in their trail camera films... plus live sightings
9:00 am
bichon
Yes, I looked at the Wichita Eagle
9:01 am
gemini_J13
I think I saw one,, but it was so quick,,,at the time I wasn't sure,, now I think it was...
9:02 am
bichon
I once saw a Fisher ct in my yard. Weird looking animal
9:02 am
bichon
I don't know how people let their cats roam free
9:05 am
MLFAN17
bichon our cat stays indoors not just because she doesn't have a collar on but because its safer for her inside
9:05 am
MLFAN17
and pb for me
9:05 am
bichon
I agree with that. Cats have no business outside.
9:06 am
Kaplan the Magne
Our cats are indoors/outdoors.
9:06 am
Kaplan the Magne
It really depends on the area you live in
9:07 am
MLFAN17
that's true too kaplan
9:07 am
Kaplan the Magne
They can come in and out all day and then stay in at night.
9:07 am
LuvWordGames
we have a house in our neighborhood that all the wild cats congregate at. At any given time there may be 5-10 cats in the yard. I always say the coyote population is driven by the amount of wild cats around that house.
9:07 am
Kaplan the Magne
One mostly hangs around me, and the other is in an extended conversation with the old cat next door.
9:08 am
bichon
I agree. I you love your cat, it's safer inside. I don't let my dog out unless I am walking him.
9:08 am
Kaplan the Magne
My cats have business outside. They have to supervise the area
9:09 am
MLFAN17
supervise the area?
9:09 am
Kaplan the Magne
Yeah, they have to train the humans to rub their bellies for one thing.
9:10 am
bichon
We also have wild fox here.
9:10 am
MLFAN17
lol kaplan
9:10 am
Kaplan the Magne
I don't live in a wild are. My previous cats wo had more freedom to roam lived till 17 and 21.
9:11 am
bichon
what do you do about fleas Kaplan?
9:11 am
Kaplan the Magne
They have to protenct turf from the diabetic old cat net door.
9:11 am
MLFAN17
that's cool kaplan
9:11 am
Kaplan the Magne
flea collars
9:12 am
bichon
My d.i.l. used to let cat outside with no flea or rabies protection.
9:12 am
Kaplan the Magne
They don't have a wide range of stops on their turf, and always come in for dinner. They can't understand why it gets dark so early.
9:13 am
Kaplan the Magne
They have all their shots and tags
9:13 am
MLFAN17
bichon she is nuts!
9:14 am
bichon
You're telling me. The cat bit y g'daughter's friend. When the mom found out that the cat wasn't up to date on rabies shot, she flipped out. I also had so many flea bites and were so itchy
9:15 am
MLFAN17
only 449 words left at the moment:/
9:15 am
MLFAN17
bichon did the cat have rabies?
9:16 am
MLFAN17
boy they were all lucky!
9:18 am

oh, pen, I started at noon. And I'm playing taxi for my daughter to doctor appointments & was supposed to help her reglaze a window her dog tried going through to get to a squirrel; but we got to the doctor appts. & now she's sleeping in DH's big chair
4:22 pm
Soodle
Lol.... Therein lie the complexities, Nef! Do yourself a favour, say 'Oh, poor Soodle' & move on!!!!
4:23 pm
Nef
(((Soodle))) It's better than neither of them being alive anymore though. Do you have any siblings?
4:24 pm
Soodle
Ha ha ha!! Great story Nef.... I woukd LOVE to hear more about the dog & the window!! Lol
4:26 pm
Nef
The dog is an interesting story, actually. It's a BIG dog, and she suddenly appeared in my daughter's yard last year about now; poor thing was starving & you could see 3 sides of all of her ribs. My daughter has a fenced in yard; & all of her neighbors were afraid of the dog; so we don't know how the dog got in there.
4:27 pm
Soodle
And then the dog broke the window?
4:27 pm
Nef
So my dir. took her to a vet to see if she was okay and if she was chipped; she was chipped, had been spayed, was up to date on all of her shots & everything too
4:29 pm
Nef
My daughter called the name on the chip and the guy said he'd given her to another relative who gave her to another and then that person gave her to another relative that moved to Arizona & the dog got out & no one wanted her, so Anne gets to keep her.
4:29 pm
Nef
no, Soodle, that
4:30 pm
Nef
Poor Whitney (the dog's name) weighed just 64 lbs. when my daughter took her to the vet the first time; now she weighs 100 lbs. 1 year later
4:32 pm

Well done Anne & Whitney!!!!
4:33 pm

What breed/cross is Whitney, Nef?

Soodle
What breed/cross is Whitney, Nef?
4:33 pm
Nef
THe dog is very well-behaved -- except when it comes to squirrels. SHe wants to catch them; (she never has for my dir. though). Anyway, there's this huge window in my dtr's dining room (38"x 40" for the pane of glass) & there's a 6 ft. high wooden fence that this squirrel sits on & harasses the dog.
