6:06 am
SamanthaJoy
Ruby, why are you so mean?
6:06 am
rubyfoo
becausel'msick of hearing persçnal details and reading baby talk and fractured English
6:07 am
rubyfoo
fractured English, as it appearshere, is racist and very objectional
6:07 am
SamanthaJoy
And I'm sick of you being nasty and throwing insults around, really. You're so unpleasant that you frequently shut down the chog and chase people off.
6:08 am
rubyfoo
sorry to have offended you, Samantha; you've never been a target
6:10 am
rubyfoo
l think bathroom talk shuts down the chog
6:12 am
SamanthaJoy
I think pointless insults do. And an hour and a half of silence broken only by you coming back to continue it kinda backs me up.
6:13 am
rubyfoo
tough to be so seensitive! And bathroom talk doesn't offend you<,
6:14 am
rubyfoo
They're not pointless; they're pointed
6:15 am
SamanthaJoy
You've been stewing over the phrase "nature calls" for an hour and a half and you're calling me sensitive?
6:16 am
rubyfoo
not stwing at all, but a d&ily report is truly inappropriate
6:16 am
rubyfoo
and you've been keeping track of the timesl'mon and off!!
6:17 am
SamanthaJoy
It's two comments, next to each other, an hour and a half apart. That doesn't take a lot of "keeping track of." It's just right there.

What's that painting in your profile pic, Molly?
6:31 am
MollyL
No clue. Just a nice holly image I found.
6:31 am
SamanthaJoy
Appropriate to the season
6:33 am
MollyL
It is a pagan tradition to bring holly into the house in winter to shelter the elves and fairies
: D
6:34 am
SamanthaJoy
How recent a tradition? I think of elves and fairies as something you'd traditionally want out of your house.
6:36 am
MollyL
We Celtic pagans dig the wee people.
6:37 am

So many varieties, so many traditions. I can't keep track.

Uncharacteristic for this time of year or just recent weather?

hmmm. definitely recently.
10:28 am
Trifioso
lol deeha. one of my friends has for years now chaperoned the high school trip to Italy every April. Sure as can be, every year some kids asks him "aren't you excited?" and he always wants to answer "I would be if you guys weren't going!"
10:32 am
Haz1558
So is he very tactful in saying he can't wait?
10:35 am

These past few grids feel as though DrG has just rummaged through a bargain bin of rarely used words and thrown them into the mix.

Most of them are, but I agree, we've had a run of "difficult" grids in the last couple of weeks.
10:41 am
Haz1558
Sometimes it's how the letters lie but there are a lot of not often encountered words. I'm not complaining, just observing.
10:42 am
bichon
interchanges with ridiculously small grids
10:42 am
SamanthaJoy
We could measure it buy how many 8+ letter words are *not* extensions of shorter words.
10:43 am
SamanthaJoy
The higher that number, the tougher the grid
10:45 am
Haz1558
It's probably impossible to please everyone. Some like tiny grids, some like huge grids. I don't complain because I don't want Dr G to huff and refuse to run his machine.
10:46 am

I'm pretty pleased. I like the variety.

10:52 am

We had a trip to London a couple of weekends ago and it was looking pretty good.
10:53 am

haz, i have a friend who runs clinical trials in oxford. she says i may accompany her. i thought it would be too cokd until spring.
10:53 am
Haz1558
Oh, bundle up and come across. Oxford is beautiful.
10:54 am
72 Temple Owl
yes but not close to you.
10:54 am
Haz1558
No, small matter of the Irish sea between us and Oxford.
10:54 am
72 Temple Owl
i hate cold weather! actually, to think of it, she was supposed to go in november but i saw no posts on FB. March is the next, i think.
10:55 am
72 Temple Owl
well, she has gone to ireland on holiday whist there. and to paris
10:55 am
Haz1558
What sort of trials?
10:55 am
Haz1558
Would you have to take part in them or would you just be a travelling companion?
10:55 am
72 Temple Owl
she is griveing now, her horse died. some sort of accident and he had to be put down. i know no details.
10:56 am
72 Temple Owl
i think drugs. no, i would just be a companion.
10:56 am
Haz1558
Oh dear. That's not good.
10:56 am

i was scared to death of that animal. it was a morgan.
10:56 am

it happened on thanksgiving day.

That's the worst, when it happens on a memorable day. It means every year will bring it back to mind.
10:57 am
72 Temple Owl
hi ruby
10:58 am

Why be afraid of a Morgan? Did it have a temperment problem? They're not very big, are they?
10:58 am
72 Temple Owl
samantha is here as well
10:58 am
Haz1558
I'd never heard of Morgan horses but have quickly googled.
10:58 am

they are giant horses
10:58 am
Haz1558
Looks to have quite a long back?
10:58 am
72 Temple Owl
well, it's so BIG . and i am so little. and not used to horsses. and it was a logging horse and tried to kill its driver.
10:58 am
SamanthaJoy
Ooohhhh. I must be thinking of a different breed. Also: Hi, ruru
10:59 am
Haz1558
I'm only used to the ponies they used at Riding for the Disabled. They were very gentle.
10:59 am
Haz1558
I know what you mean, people who grow up with horses are very comfortable around them. I always heeded the advice to never walk behind them!
10:59 am
72 Temple Owl
you absolutely MUST dominate horses or they will literally run all over you.
11:00 am
rururocks
a pony would look like a hobbit compared to a Morgan
11:00 am
rubyfoo
The only horrsesl like are running in flat races, especially if l"'ve placed a bet
11:01 am
72 Temple Owl
well ty, i thoight i was being silly. i thought a nice horse does not try to bite you. or kill you. but her horsey friends say it was a great horse.
11:01 am

Good morning everyone :)

The horses that pull the Budweiser beer wagon are Morgans (if that helps)

No, those are Clydesdales
11:03 am

14.1 to 16.2 hands, according to the breed website.
11:03 am

pa 8/50, pls
11:03 am

but morgans are almost as big as clydesdales

Hi Bichon and Nan

true.. more muscular
11:04 am
cybernan
oh right, so they are
11:04 am
SamanthaJoy
Maybe there are different standards for different breeds? I know for some dogs, the breed is considered so aggressive that it's considered acceptable to try and bite a judge in a show ring.
Maybe horses have variable standards by breed too?
11:04 am
72 Temple Owl
i was only in the barn once when she took him out to groom him. the tethers did not seem so sturdy with that big a creatire.
11:05 am
rubyfoo
The only time l ever tried to ride, l was 16 and the horse bit me on the leg
11:05 am
72 Temple Owl
yes, i am not comfortable around horses.
11:05 am
rururocks
I think if a dog tries to bite a judge they are disqualified sJ
11:06 am
rubyfoo
You think?
11:06 am
72 Temple Owl
ooh, that heppened to me as well, ruby! i never knew WHT it ws up to till i dismounted and someone pointed out why he kept turning his head.
11:06 am
rururocks
I know
11:06 am
bichon
I'll stick to fluffy puppies
11:07 am
72 Temple Owl
then again, i never got out of the paddock. i'll stick to htose poor ponies every child got to ride around the ring it's probably against a host of laws now.
11:07 am
72 Temple Owl
i am not saying horses are bad, you just have to know how to handle them.
11:08 am
SamanthaJoy
It varies by breed, ruru
11:08 am
72 Temple Owl
but hating its former owner and trying to kill him is a bit of a red flag, no?
11:09 am
rubyfoo
l Iagree, Bichon, except my puppies are almost my size
11:10 am
rubyfoo
but very fluffy, especially in their winter coats
11:10 am
bichon
If I ever got another dog, it would be a escue Bichon or Shih Tzu, or Havanese
11:10 am

anyway, i will advise when I get to oxford.
11:11 am

and now to more outdoor work before the temps drop. adios.

11:14 am
Haz1558
Cambridge is lovely as well and I can recommend Windsor.
11:15 am
SamanthaJoy
Hey, ruru: I went and hunted this up because I thought you'd find it interesting:
http://dogbreeds.bulldog\ninformation.com/fila-brasileiro.html
\n"It is probably the only breed that was selected for centuries to deeply dislike the humans they were not raised with, and, to this day, temperament tests run during championships require the dogs to attack without being coached, to remain self-confident during a shooting test, and to openly show their suspicion of strangers. The standard prescribes that, even at dog shows, Filas should not "allow the judge (a stranger) to touch it. And if it attacks the judge, such a reaction must not be considered a fault, but only a confirmation of its temperament." "
11:15 am
72 Temple Owl
oh yes, she posted photos from touring windsor
11:15 am
cybernan
and if you want to go to stonehenge book the tour that takes you right into the circle -- and do it now or they will all be booked. (very limited)
11:16 am
Haz1558
It's very special. The amazing thing about all those towns and cities is that they are ancient but modern life carries on regardless.
11:17 am
72 Temple Owl
now i am excited. but spring it must be. oh dear, li5s are flapping madly on the li4. must check them.
11:18 am
