My friend Donna was a school teacher and has taught at quite a few schools in the area. She is now retired. They have 2 American retrievers which take up quite a bit of their time.
12:49 am

12:49 am
melonheadjujube

12:49 am
godthaab

What school?
12:50 am
jillibus

American retrievers???? Chesapeake Bay retrievers? (I've been a dog show person)
12:50 am
RocDragon

it's what the teacher called me in chinese class. "little zheng"
12:50 am
debbinla

very late fliparooni ! hello everyone !
12:50 am

chinese class? Are you Chimese?
12:50 am

*Chinese
12:50 am
RocDragon

american-born chinese
12:51 am
verna

I thought you might ask me that, unfortunately I can't remember her last school, but the next time I speak to her I'll find out.
12:51 am
RocDragon

RocDragon is a translation of my chinese birth-name
12:51 am
godthaab

What a small world, eh?
12:51 am
jillibus

great that you keep in touch with the language, roc
12:52 am
jillibus

Sorry I only have a few words (see my profile)
12:52 am
verna

It s certainly is, if you do live close by the chances are I have walked her dogs by your house as I walked the dogs for miles all around the that area.
12:53 am
godthaab

There is a very large park near my house; perhaps she walks there.
12:53 am
RocDragon

ok i'm stuck. going to lickety's..
12:54 am
verna

She lives off Royal York rd. There is a park close to her beside a tennis courts and the park has a baseball area.
12:55 am
jillibus

you're giving me a well-deserved inferiority complex, wikth my 40 words found!
12:57 am
godthaab

By the school on the hill?
12:58 am
verna

I should have said Royal York road and Lakeshore.
12:59 am
godthaab

Oh, down there. I am up at the other end, near Eglinton, but I do know that area fairly well.
1:00 am
jillibus

verna and godthaab, this is amazing. I lived in Toronto eons ago and know a bit about the area you're talking about.
1:00 am
godthaab

Where did you live?
1:01 am
jillibus

In Leaside
1:01 am
godthaab

Nice area of town!
1:01 am
jillibus

Had friends in Etobicoke
1:02 am
godthaab

I guess the whole world knows someone in Etobicoke!
1:02 am
verna

If we keep this up we might turn out to be related!!!
1:03 am
jillibus

Our part of Leaside was little boxes on the hillside, cheap post-WW2 housing, right by a railroad line - not fancy but convenient!
1:03 am
godthaab

That's funny!
1:04 am
debbinla

it's not just me the site being nutty - is it?
1:05 am
jillibus

We paid $10K in 1948 and heard much later (60s)that this tiny house had sold for $300K!
1:06 am
godthaab

Housing prices in TO are ridiculous, although I hear it is even worse out in Vancouver. I think real estate is the most expensive in Canada. That house is probably worth 500-600 now
1:07 am
verna

godtaab I think I know the park you mention. Does it have a small passenger train running through it and a small collection of caged animals???
1:08 am
jillibus

absolutely nuts!
1:10 am
godthaab

No, you are thinking of High Park, the biggest park in the city. The place I was referring to was a school on the Kingsway whick is one block west of Royal York, north of Dundas.
1:11 am

You think God copyrighted all pictures of Jesus?
4:24 am
Atalante

O.O that's a thought!
4:25 am
JFB

Thanks kateq for the 11. I've just come back and scrolled back through the chat. Though I wasn't going to come back but the computer must have a magnetic field around it!
4:27 am
sprite

JFB: that is a well proven fact!
4:27 am
mattygroves

I can't find the proper st6 for the 11. I'm assuming the in5 is the normal one.
4:28 am
Odin

I'm fighting the magnetic field now...I HAVE to go to work...I will however be forced back without a doubt before the day ends.
4:28 am
Atalante

4:38 am

4:41 am
SueMagee

This is the first grid I've seen that uses every letter in the grid as a first letter.

I made a verbal complaint to the doctor about it.

Well, Helen, I figured everyone else would choose Nessie, the Yeti, crop circles, UFO's & aliens, or the Bermuda Triangle and so I thought... why not pick the biggest mystery of all? LOL.
12:11 pm
Jacula

Cathyar - I agree!

ahh judy - one of those blessing/curse situations, good luck! - but i think that's great of you - too many people our generation stick their parents in nursing homes - i have no respect for that at all - time to pay back the piper
12:16 pm
CiociaJudy

Hi FMitch!
12:16 pm
CiociaJudy

Helen, will they replace the window for you?
12:18 pm
helenkeller

yes judy they are & i feel kinda bad about it because the scratch really is very minor, but beside the cosmetic thing, i also worry that a golfball-sized piece of hail will hit it at just the right angle, 10 years & 1 day from now when the warrenty expires & then i will regret not having it replaced
12:18 pm
phandmd

did you get it jamie?
12:18 pm
Jaime

nope. i got lost as to what you were referring to. one more time?
12:19 pm

that & also for $1800 i think it should be free of flaws just like it said in the contract
12:19 pm
CiociaJudy

Absolutely, Helen! better safe than sorry later.

that's correct, Helen...

12:45 pm

chic - yes weird to actually see the triangle part - i thought it was just roughly the shape
12:45 pm
Wolvie

why can't we have exlax - just once! ;-)
12:46 pm
chic

BB7, Helen, who goes tonite?
12:47 pm
helenkeller

chic - are you getting the live feed? i hope the robe goes, that's all i got to say
12:48 pm
chic

no I didn't do the live feed; and that would be Marcie?
12:49 pm
helenkeller

well - i'm torn bet the 2 - pros & cons for each - who are you wanting out?
12:50 pm
Wolvie

BB7??
12:50 pm
helenkeller

i did the feed this year - 1st time - have really tapered off cause they are boring, lazy, mean, very mean - but marci wears that robe ALL THE TIME it's annoying, the man rarely gets dressed
12:51 pm
Calqhoon

internet and intranet aren't words :(
12:52 pm
chic

really wanted James out; Jannie is being so naive this time around..Marcellas should go, he's turned into such a rat....
12:52 pm
Vicuna

Yes, they are, Calqhoon... just Enable won't accept them! But TRY not to let Babble distort you view of reality too badly!
12:52 pm

la 5-10 please the 1st one?
12:52 pm
Wolvie

what is bb7??
12:52 pm
helenkeller

and the producers really do a great deal of heavy editing - they all hate being there, most have really bad attitudes, they make fun of the competitions, they aren't excited about rewards, they complain all the time - and many are veyr mean drunks - jase & dani in particular

not much of a television watcher - CSI - Vegas, yes. Stargate, yes. Football (american) yes...ott - not much.
12:54 pm
helenkeller

chic - ITA james out!!! what a total ass! i am really hoping it's all an act on janie's part - i am beginning to suspect that much of this season is scripted & people walked into the house already having intact alliances - there are runors that boog & erika were living together, or at least dating prior to show
12:55 pm
chic

Wolvie, Love Stargate
12:55 pm
helenkeller

i love stargate too! & atlantis!

he's good too - got my fix with McGyver tho
12:57 pm

Helen, I agree that some of it seems scripted, esp when Will and Boogie do their thing in the diary rm..
12:57 pm

It's still running everyday probably twice a day on TVLand channel; McGuyver that is...

mymuseisme

chiley the one I have is more wet as in weather
12:58 pm
chiley

nevermind.....I found it
12:58 pm
helenkeller

chic- i mean more than that - i mean competitions are designed to favor certain people & the hg's think that too & re-doing a comp is easily fixed too - you can always have a 'malfunction' & then re-do if you don't like who won - bb7's rating will suffer bigtime when janie leaves & the producers know that so they are invested in keeping her around
12:59 pm
Wolvie

yes you do, helen - it's a hoot.
1:00 pm
helenkeller

chic - i do not get the expanded cable, maybe i should look into that - or get my neighbor, who is not ar!, to tape it for me, huh
1:00 pm

hiya sha
1:00 pm
Wolvie

hey, chiley - share?
1:00 pm
chic

really! that's quite a conspiracy theory going there, Helen. but this last POV contest was so easily not fair but fixed...
1:01 pm
Wolvie

yep - or get direct TV - that's what I have
1:01 pm
helenkeller

which pov - they are all running together in my mind
1:01 pm
sha

hey ruthy
1:02 pm
helenkeller

i think everyone has direct tv but me, lol
1:02 pm
chic

the only channel I don't have that I want is the SCi-Fi one; I just don't want all the drek that comes with it...
1:02 pm
Mom

I don't Helen, just cable
1:02 pm
Wolvie

worth it - much better than cable - and you don't even have to use me as a referral. ;-0
1:03 pm

Wolvie

much better than yesterday - how about you?
1:04 pm
helenkeller

but i need to have the cable anyway for my computer & the basic package is just $20/mo more - but yeah i don't get scifi either, which i would love to have, maybe a good thing to stay away from more tv though
1:04 pm
Mom

doing good. I was hoping for a smaller puzzle.
1:04 pm
ruthy

u ok sha
1:05 pm
Wolvie

I have cable for the puter, direct TV for TV. you can do both with drtv tho
1:05 pm
chic

that's what Dvr is for; I tape a lot of shows so we can zip thru in half the time...
1:05 pm
Wolvie

Mom - ha! I don't mind as long as the site stays up.
1:05 pm
helenkeller

i'm sorry chic - i did not include the 'thrown comps' aspect into my theory - producers know who is going to throw comps in which direction so they can set it up ahead of time to make those outcome occur/occur easier
1:06 pm
Mom

I spend way too much time doing this. But I am enjoying it and the family isn't fussing

anyone gett the 11 yet?

MaMaWA

at least it seems like site is working better today
1:08 pm
helenkeller

chic - it would be boring for feed subscribers then & they would lose $$$, but i agree - the problem with this season is that they already all know each other so there is none of that 'testing the waters' & 'getting to know you' intrigue

i say it's mean because there is lying, conniving, tone of swearing, deceit left & right, & people's true natures come out on natioinal tv for all to see - it is the epitomy of inappropriate disclosure
4:00 pm

Helen, it seems like a very silly thing to me. I can't imagine taking that much time out of my life for something like that -- I guess I am really just a stick in the mud. give me "Green Acres" or "Looney Tunes" any day!

I don't need to watch people being mean to others and acting like total trash... not even for a million dollars. It is not in my nature, and it makes me sad when people put money over relationships.

well, they are at best fake relationships - but if you mean their real life relationships, i can see where for some people that much money really means a long-term change in circumstance - which can be great for large families struggling, etc. - but your point is taken, most are greedy, single young people
