Hey Jac, wanted to say (just before flip) re conversation about the properties of fox poo(!) - get rid of the foxes and get a bunny - so sweet and loving and soft and cuddly and easily house trained. No problem if they miss their litter box, 'cos bunny poo comes in net little pellets which don't smell, because they're herbivores.
12:35 am
dofith
neat, not net
12:37 am
Jacula
dofith - we had 20 bunnies and 21 guinea pigs many years ago.
12:38 am
dofith
Maybe the foxes have got long memoris!
12:38 am
dofith
Can't spell today
12:39 am
Jacula
Maybe they do, since they never got into our bunny and g/pig shed.
12:40 am
Jacula
Whoops! Sorry!
12:41 am
dofith
Some bright spark introduced foxes here into Aus many years ago for hunting sport for the early settlers. Now they're everywhere. Hard to keep chooks safe.
12:41 am
dofith
Will shut up now and return to grid

Clue for mu7 please?

we actually had a provincial referendum come up last month on the topic, whether or not to get rid of dst - folks actually voted (by a small margin) to keep it :(
7:50 am
BzznBea
Does anyone remeber their grandparents calling it the spring change "fast time"?
7:51 am

It is interesting because the light changes, whether we turn the clocks or not. Eventually, we end up in the same place, light-wise. It's just artificially enhanced by the time change. Our circadian rhythms are based on hours of daylight, not what time it is.
8:00 am
mael
I just think that if it made sense once upon a time, we now have... both artificial light a plenty and a disregulated lifestyle to boot. Why force a change when it's useless? Stick MA on Atlantic Standard Time if you really want to make a difference in evening light

I thought the bu7 bird and the vu7 bird were different. Turns out they are the same.
8:44 am
welki
hey, bea? which basic singer machine would you recommend? i need something just for simple repairs and can't sew worth a damn.
8:44 am
BzznBea
I love me some birds, but those are the most disgusting things. Not that they eat dead things but they are just ugly! And they vomit as a defense mechanism.
8:45 am
welki
looking at them online, i think i might like an automatic threader :D
8:45 am
welki
(the 'heavy duty' 44xx series seems worth it, because of the better motor, but do i need it?)
8:46 am
BzznBea
I have an aito threader and never use it. They are tempermental.
8:46 am
BzznBea
Do you have a sewong machine repair place near you?
8:46 am
welki
*unchecks auto threader and, instead, buys a magnifying glass*
8:47 am
welki
not very close, but i could get to one if i had to
8:48 am
BzznBea
I was just wondering if it would be better to buy a used machine than a new one.
8:49 am
welki
i'd probably get up-sold if i did that
8:49 am
BzznBea
I have a singer that I got in the early 80's and it has never let me down. Where as my new fancy machine can be a diva some days.
8:50 am
welki
the two (simple) machines i was looking at are the singer m1000 mending machine (VERY affordable) and the m4411 (better motor, but twice the price)
8:50 am
BzznBea
If you are going to do just mending and simple sewing tasks. I would find one with the functions you need and in your price range.
8:51 am
MollyL
They are pretty gross birds, Bea.
8:51 am
BzznBea
The better motor might make for a sturdier, strnger machine.
8:51 am
welki
probably better if i had to sew through denim, too
8:52 am
rururocks
i didn't know they were bulimic.. but considering what they eat
8:52 am
BzznBea
Yes, welki.
8:52 am

I think they also spit.
8:56 am

thanks, bea :)

All around disgusting tings, they are
9:04 am
BzznBea
Speaking of disgusting...Friday I was volunterring in a community garden. My job is to take care of the birds. I was cleaning out a large, deep bird bath and there was so much muck in it, i just started scooping the water out with my hands.
9:05 am
BzznBea
I touched upon something that I thought was a waterlogged plant stalk. When I pulled it out it was a dead rat that had been mostly eaten by a hawk, then deposited in the bath.
9:05 am
BzznBea
I screamed like a girl!
9:16 am
rururocks
*tosses breakfast out now*
9:17 am
rururocks
the hawk was being polite and leaving appetizers for someone else
9:18 am
BzznBea
He had eaten all the good stuff. Just tail, teeth and fur left.
9:19 am
welki
not enough lysol in the world - yuck!
9:19 am
rururocks
that's really a disgusting story ugh
9:20 am
BzznBea
I will never stick my hands in that bird bath again.
9:21 am
welki
...unless you have a hazmat suit on
9:23 am
rururocks
i have a hawk in my palm tree .. he surveys the vineyard behind my house and gets rabbits, squirrels and such
9:24 am
BzznBea
They have their place in the ecosystem and I love having them around. Just don't want anymore presents from them.
9:25 am
rururocks
he left you a pot sticker bea :D
9:28 am
rururocks
(note to self) Don't ever clean a bird bath
9:31 am
BzznBea
I have 50 left. Going to save them for this afternoon. Off to make things happen.
9:31 am
welki
and here i was, thinking that i should get a heated bird bath for all the backyard birds this winter - nope, change of plans
9:33 am

you know what hawks call bird seed feeders?

9:37 am

there's one I'd never have guessed, thanks!
9:38 am
rururocks
I didn't know blue jays ate other birds
9:39 am
hokie carla
they're big bullies but I didn't know they eat them either
9:40 am
welki
we were surprised, too, but when i looked it up, it's fairly common. they're opportunists, and food is food
9:41 am
welki
and bea, if you're still around, upon further consideration, for the amount of times i'd use a machine, it's probably not worth the storage space to buy one.

i hope you don't have a reaction like I didn't
9:50 am
hokie carla
yes, good luck
9:50 am
cybernan
we'll see - didn't have any reaction to the 2 pfizer shots, but the booster will be a moderna
9:51 am
hokie carla
I think the older you are the less the reactions are, but that's because your body doesn't mount as much as an immune response.
9:52 am
hokie carla
but I just heard someone I know younger than me only had a sore arm. so it seems kinda random.
9:53 am
cybernan
had a reaction to the flu shot last week
9:56 am
hokie carla
I told my mom I'd like for her to get her booster before Thanksgiving (ideally now). I ask her like every day and her response is "they told me not to get it before my mammogram". yes, but your mammogram was 2 weeks ago! She doesn't drive anymore but her sister takes her to things. I'd like for her sister to get her booster now too, since she has family come in for Thanksgiving too.
10:12 am
hokie carla
well, I'm not really seeing the words right now. guess I'll be back later for last 51.

12:35 pm
joym999
ne7, huh? Is it related to the NE6?
12:35 pm
hokie carla
it's an embryo stage I've never heard of
12:37 pm
joym999
I had to go Google embryonic stages
12:37 pm
hokie carla
bleugirl, the ? links to dictionary.com, which doesn't always have a definition, sometimes it gives you a proper noun that isn't the right one, and sometimes pulls up a word that's close.
12:38 pm
hokie carla
or you could've just pulled up the chat archive and looked for ruru's blurt 😜
12:39 pm
hokie carla
darnit, I didn't find a TU7, it was a 6. so now I still need TU7 if anyone wants to clue.
12:40 pm
joym999
sounds like something you don't want to have but is actually and archeology term, carla
12:40 pm
MollyL
I totally didn't get the Star Trek fuel reference
12:40 pm

if your body was full of TU5s you might be TU7

Usually, cars that old are one repair after another.
1:25 pm
joym999
It's so hard to know when it's time to just give up making the repairs and get a new one, though.

Good luck Sophie. I had a similar issue with one of my favorite old cars (wish I still had it). Battery, alternator maybe a new generator and eventually found out it was a short in the ignition wire. That great old Volvo had over 250,000 miles.

If you are paying more in repairs than you would on a new lease or purchase, it makes sense to give up on the old one.
