Rainiqui

yw flosey. I'm Canadian too but don't know how to get a flag up

12:10 am

flosey

have been here for quite a while, don't remember how I found the flag

12:10 am

jessmom

re8

12:10 am

flosey

perhaps someone else can offer help there

12:11 am

Pinikula

I think you might have to identify the country in your profile.

12:11 am

Rainiqui

I did

12:11 am

Pinikula

hmmm...

12:11 am

ursh

If i remember you just have to fill in your country on your profile.

12:12 am

Lizlin

Yes - I've just changed to a UK flag that way. Go to your account and then add your country. Going back to an Aussie flag now!

12:12 am

momof5

wo7

12:12 am

Pinikula

Let's see if that works (I've added my country).

12:13 am

Lizlin

Obviously then click on update profile - forgot to mention that!

12:13 am

Pinikula

hmmm...didn't work for me... :(

12:13 am

Pinikula

I wonder what else I'm missing.

12:13 am

Rainiqui

I tried Australia, let's see

12:14 am

cybernan

hello everyone

12:14 am

Pinikula

In looking at those with flags, I see gender is referenced, too. I wonder if that's the missing link.

12:14 am

Rainiqui

do you have to pay for an upgraded account?

12:14 am

flosey

hi Nan

12:14 am

ursh

as Liz said "update" your profile ?

12:15 am

Pinikula

I added flag and gender; pressed "update profile" - still don't see either.

12:16 am

Lizlin

I haven't paid any more since I joined.

12:16 am

cybernan

rainqui - to get flag click on 'My Account" above. IN right hand box, click on the down arrow next to the country box and select Canada

12:16 am

dizgrannie

sometimes you have to go out and come bak in to see updated profile

12:16 am

Pinikula

brb

12:17 am

Hi and hugs, Sprite

12:39 am

sprite

*hugs Liz* Hi there, how are you and your beloved today?

12:40 am

Lizlin

We're fine thanks - and how are things on the other side of the world?

12:41 am

sprite

still dark, grin. Doing an early babble before going to a meeting. Am feeling good, and the bathroom is progressing, so no complaints from me!

12:41 am

Lizlin

Sounds good to me, except for the still dark bit - what is it? 7.40 ish?

12:42 am

cybernan

is the no 9 a negative?

12:42 am

sprite

yeah, very normal this time of year. Won't get light till 9 or so.

12:42 am

Lizlin

Don't have it yet, sorry.

12:43 am

Lizlin

Wow! That's much later than I remember in the UK. It was light by 8 there, perhaps earlier. But then again, perhaps I don't remember properly. It's been 9 years since I had a UK winter.

12:44 am

sprite

should be about the same, UK or us

12:44 am

Lizlin

But it's an hour earlier in the UK - so I guess it is about the same.

12:44 am

sprite

sun up today is 8.45 am.

12:45 am

Lizlin

OK - got to go. Good to have caught you even for such a short time. Have a lovely day. Hugs.

1:19 am

grannyrose

1:19 am

grannyrose

1:20 am

1:27 am

grannyrose

*from the floor* you tripped me over, not the light fantastic.

1:28 am

sprite

silly rose, that was not tripping you, that was a bit of rock and roll gymnastics in between. See, there you go, straight up into the air. Land gently, please

1:28 am

grannyrose

and you must tell me where you found my waist.... i haven't seen it in years

1:29 am

grannyrose

*thump* right on sprite's toes. oh dear, did i hurt you honey? sooo sorry

1:29 am

sprite

it was right there between your shoulders and your hips.

1:30 am

sprite

nah, sweet twinkletoes, you couldn't hurt me if you tried. Dance on *quietly rubs toes and goes ouchouchouch*

1:31 am

grannyrose

*strange* never seen anyone dance on their heels before!!

1:31 am

sprite

I am special that way LOL

1:32 am

grannyrose

it's like your legs have turned 180degrees.

1:32 am

sprite

yeah, it used to be my head that did that. Got my demons down to my feet over time.

1:33 am

grannyrose

roflolllll

1:34 am

sprite

I am afraid we chased flosey into hiding with our antics. Come back, dear lady, we are missing you!

1:34 am

rururocks

8:09 am

72 Temple Owl

8:09 am

Scrabbler

I am trying to get excited about swimming at the Y with minus 9 temp outside.

8:10 am

72 Temple Owl

watching sunday morning, scrabller? that is my congressional distruct they are featuring on their gerrymandering feature.

8:11 am

Trifioso

tertiare is going back to college today, so we will be back to an empty nest....mixed emotions

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I am watching that, Owl. Every Sunday morning.

8:12 am

72 Temple Owl

8:12 am

Scrabbler

Treasure the peace, Trif.

8:13 am

Trifioso

seriously! the electric bill shall take a welcome dive as well

8:13 am

Scrabbler

And gas bill from all of the long hot showers.

8:14 am

Trifioso

oil, in my case, but sure.

8:14 am

Trifioso

I will miss all the big lumbering guys coming over though, and the giggling girl friends - that part is fun

8:14 am

Scrabbler

You use propane?

8:15 am

Trifioso

for cooking, but oil to heat the house. not my first, second, or third choice, but it's what the house came with and we are too far off the main road to hook up to any town services, except electricity

8:16 am

aebmusica

an6/33....clue please

8:16 am

Scrabbler

Most homes out here in the country use propane but I am in a development of 180 homes up on a big hill so we have gas, electric, our own community well, and internet service. No FiOS out here though.

8:17 am

Trifioso

wow scrabbler! lol, I am such a new Englander -- my first thought was "so, in a storm, which would I lose first?"

8:18 am

Scrabbler

We lose electricity often due to tree branches falling or a car hitting a pole. I have considered getting a home generator.

8:19 am

Scrabbler

I am still looking, ae.

8:19 am

aebmusica

ty Scrabs, so am I

8:19 am

Trifioso

me too. because I lose EVERYTHING but the ability to use my stove when the power goes out. not being able to flush gets old FAST -- I try to remember to fill the bathtub every time it's going to storm, but if I am at work or something when a storm hits, that doesn't happen

8:19 am

MLFAN17

ty for the re8

8:20 am

Scrabbler

#1 issue for me without power, if it is raining, is that my sump pump does not work and I get flooding in my sub-basement.

8:21 am

Trifioso

oooh, that is a bummer. I don't have a basement, so theres that

8:22 am

Scrabbler

Oh, the challenges of home ownership. Well, you know.

8:22 am

8:40 am

Trifioso

mums, tell me not to be sad at how excited tertiare is to go back to school, please? it doesn't mean she hates it here, it just means she loves college, and that's a good thing, right?

8:41 am

LuvWordGames

yes someone who doesn"t use pen or pencil

8:41 am

MLFAN17

hi luv ty

8:41 am

Scrabbler

She wants to return to her tribe. College is one big adolescent microcosm.

8:42 am

Scrabbler

TY, lwg, odd word

8:42 am

Trifioso

right right.....I wouldn't want her to be clinging to me, crying, "dont' send me back there!"....well, I mean a LITTLE sadness would be okay....

8:42 am

BzznBea

She's had a long break.

8:42 am

Scrabbler

Wanting to stay home would be a red flag for a big psych issue.

8:43 am

Trifioso

she has indeed.

8:43 am

Trifioso

a part of me is, I must admit, GET IN THE CAR right now

8:43 am

Trifioso

a quieter house has it's own set of blessings

8:43 am

Scrabbler

I see too many kids that are doing NOTHING after HS and their parents are enabling that, "waiting for him/her to grow up."

8:44 am

BzznBea

A quiet house is a good thing.

8:44 am

Trifioso

uh....not an option here, scrabbler. we raise em up fast in my family. always have, actually. my mom was quite clear about that

8:44 am

Trifioso

uh....not an option here, scrabbler. we raise em up fast in my family. always have, actually. my mom was quite clear about that

8:44 am

Trifioso

oops sorry for double post

8:45 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, Trif. As a teacher you see how many kids are not prepared by their parents to be adults.

8:46 am

bichon

neither of mine wanted to stay around. Son went to colle and grad school in CA and never left

8:46 am

MLFAN17

LA6?

8:47 am

periwinkle

hello all help with any 8 pls

8:47 am

BzznBea

LOL! Mine went to local colleges. They did NOT want to leave home. Had to move half way across the county myself to get rid of them.

8:47 am

Trifioso

I have been thinking about that very thing scrabbler, as I prepare to have my own full classroom. I have decided that early release days I will call "Miss C's Guide to Life" and I will teach mini lessons on things like sewing on a button, making a grilled cheese sandwich, changing wiper blades, etc.

8:47 am

bichon

no, the Bay Area

8:47 am

MollyL

re8...one who stops working, ends in picnic pest

8:47 am

Scrabbler

I just see so many kids with no initiative, no ambition, and so much fear or hesitation or unwillingness to accept responsibility.

8:47 am

MLFAN17

no 8 extend the 6 above it

8:47 am

MLFAN17

bichon thank goodness

8:47 am

Alleyn58

You know, Iâ€™m a child!

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Good for you, moving away, Bea!

8:48 am

Trifioso

lol bzzn - seems it's one extreme or the other, doesn't it

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Trif, kids need those lessons, those skills.

8:48 am

periwinkle

ty for re8

8:48 am

MLFAN17

bzz that's so not good lol

8:48 am

Trifioso

I have eighth graders in class who cant read a clock, for goodness sake

8:48 am

Scrabbler

Alleyn, we should still have a child-like wonder and enthusiasm to enjoy life. But still be responsible.

8:48 am

periwinkle

not using list so don't have the no6

8:49 am

MLFAN17

trif let me guess they use a cell phone or some other device to tell what time it is?

8:50 am

periwinkle

got the no8 ty

8:50 am

Trifioso

yes! never needed to read an analog clock....

8:50 am

BzznBea

And most of them probably don't know cursive writing.

8:51 am

Scrabbler

Oh, the birds are so happy that I refilled all of their feeders yesterday.

Bea, I have patients that tell me they cannot do cursive when they have to sign forms in our office. Stunning.

8:51 am

MLFAN17

trif, we have clocks in our home but we use the clock on the boxes for our cable

8:52 am

bichon

That reminds me. But we don't get a lot of birds in the winter

8:52 am

MLFAN17

scrab I have been trying to get my husband to get bird seed but no go

8:52 am

Trifioso

sure, mlf, but you CAN read one, right?

8:52 am

Scrabbler

All I use is black oil sunflower seeds, and suet cakes. Everyone is happy.

8:53 am

MLFAN17

lol yes trif

8:53 am

bichon

Use the black oil sunflower, but squirrels at the suet

8:53 am

Trifioso

tertiare gave me a really cool bird feeder for Christmas - the idea is you mount it with suction cups to a window, so the birds come right ne4 you to eat. Problem is, I don't see how I can mount it in a way that won't also encourage them to splatter into the window....

8:53 am

MLFAN17

don't use corn the squirrels will be all over it!

8:54 am

Scrabbler

The squirrels, red and grey, get into almost every feeder here. That's ok with me

8:54 am

bichon

squirrels ate all the nectar for the hummingbirds

8:55 am

BzznBea

I want to feed the birds, but we have too many feral cats. They would be sitting ducks, lierally.

8:55 am

BzznBea

They did that one year to me too, bichon.

8:55 am

Trifioso

oh man, bichon, that is a bummer! haven't had that here yet, thank goodness! I have to say, I have gotten slightly disenchanted with the hummingbirds around here - they are so spoiled! If I don't change the nectar EVERY SINGLE DAY they turn up their noses.

8:55 am

bichon

for sure Bea. My neighbor lets her cat out all the time

8:56 am

MLFAN17

bichon I didn't know they ate nectar/

8:57 am

Scrabbler

My neighbor lets her cat out all summer and he kills birds and chipmunks. I told her what he was doing and she laughed, "And he doesn't even eat them, He just drops them off."

8:57 am

MLFAN17

the squirrels that is

8:57 am

Trifioso

to be fair, that IS what cats do....

8:57 am

bichon

if it's digestible, they'll eart it

8:57 am

Scrabbler

I know, but I wish she kept her cat inside.

8:58 am

bichon

As far as I am concered, cats belong inside.

8:58 am

BzznBea

They can have all the squirrels they can get, but I hate for them the get them birds.

8:58 am

MLFAN17

we have had feral cats but they ignore the birds oddly enough

8:58 am

BzznBea

Get them birds, ha...

8:59 am

BzznBea

Mine is a colony of feral cats. No way they can come in the house...

9:00 am

BzznBea

In my research, they say that cats only get the old or sick birds. They just aren't quick enough to get the healthy ones

9:01 am

MLFAN17
