3:07 am
kierlex
i have to share part of one of my dreams last night. I had an italian soda that was made with dark chocolate syrup and it was called 'homicide by chocolate'
3:08 am
sprite
some dream, kier! :D :D
3:08 am
FranMag
how funny kier!
3:08 am
herinfernallady
I had a slice of berry loaf but i just forgot to eat and shower and get out of my pjs
3:08 am
sprite
a cat can easily adapt to your programme, lol, xamot. Wonderful combination.
3:08 am
FranMag
like death by chocolate, but someone else made it for you?
3:08 am
kierlex
well, if i can't dream about keanu then i guess chocolate is the next best
3:09 am
xamot
yes, the cat is pretty flexible... i don't think he cares when i work, as long as i give him food two times a day.
3:09 am
herinfernallady
mmmmm chocolate, spos i should get off my butt and fry up the curry
3:09 am
kierlex
i dunno fran but it ended up costing $15. I also had a dream about zucchini. I am not sure what that means!
3:09 am
sprite
I think the combination is worth trying for, kier :)
3:10 am
meliae
you guys are making me hungry
3:10 am
FranMag
you're going to run soda fountain one day? and serve zucchini bread
3:10 am
kierlex
sounds like the makings of a kinky movie. Keanu, Kierlex, Zucchini and Chocolate.... Take One!
3:10 am
sprite
I mean keanu plus chocolate, of course. No zucchini.
3:11 am
FranMag
i'd watch it kier (try to get an R-rating)
3:11 am
sprite
what's an R rating?
3:11 am
herinfernallady
18plus
3:11 am
meliae
toss in George clooney and I am so there!
3:12 am
Jellen
US film industry rating
3:12 am
FranMag
must be 18 to see it alone, but not bad enough for an X
3:12 am
sprite
ah, ok! Thought that was X, lol.
3:12 am
sprite
owwww ok! X is beyond R.
3:12 am
FranMag
mmm, george and chocolate
3:13 am
kierlex
i think it would be an x for sure
3:13 am
sprite
is X always sex related? Like porn? Or does it also apply to violence?
3:13 am
FranMag
yay! just found ta7x2 and te7 while we were talking
3:13 am
meliae
I agree but we must toss in strawberries and whip cream too
3:13 am
sprite
(sorry if I am asking stupid things, I am just curious)
3:13 am
FranMag
it would have to be extremely violent to warrant an X without being pornographic.
3:14 am
meliae
lots of bad curse words will get an X rating sometimes too
3:14 am
herinfernallady
oh thanks now i want strawberrys and they are out of season here
3:15 am
sprite
thanks Fran, that clears those ratings up a bit for me. So X can apply to extreme violence, but rarely does... X usually means porn. And R is for adults, but not extreme.
3:15 am
FranMag
basically sprite
3:15 am
meliae
my strawberries are just ripening
3:15 am
sprite
thanks meliae, so bad language is an issue too... I will remember!
3:16 am
FranMag
i'll be back in a bit
3:16 am
meliae
the language thing is not so bad now as society as a whole curses so bad it is just rediculous
3:16 am
sprite
bye for now, Fran
3:16 am
kierlex
oooh pur raspberries are ripening too
3:17 am
meliae
yes I saw the U-pick place I go to advertising raspberries today on tv
3:18 am
herinfernallady
Sprite : There is some really ridiculas ratings in AUs
3:18 am
herinfernallady
Ok for example a graffic rape scene is R rated but sex no violence with gratitus tits and arse is X or XX or XXX rated

3:40 am
kierlex
ahh the terrible 2's and ferrocious 4's =)
3:41 am
FranMag
that about describes them kier! :-)
3:41 am
FranMag
they're great kids though, despite their strong personalities.
3:41 am
kierlex
i think 4 was WAY worse than 2 or 3 for both our kids.
3:42 am
sprite
isn't it great they have strong personalities! I love mine for it.
3:42 am
FranMag
hmm, i don't know how my daughter could be more obstinate or stubborn. thanks for the warning. :-)
3:43 am
kierlex
my son is just like my hubby. thus they clash a lot.
3:44 am
FranMag
i do like their personalities, exasperating at times though.
3:44 am
sprite
oh yes Fran, it is a challenge. But imagine your kids being doozies... that would be so much worse, lol.
3:44 am
kierlex
i love my kids' personalities, too. they are definitely their own individuals. it is fun to see them grow and change.
3:44 am
FranMag
my son announced yesterday he was too old for baths.
3:45 am
kierlex
but sometimes i just want to flee and live by myself on a beach in a hut
3:45 am
FranMag
i know sprite, you're right.
3:45 am
sprite
wooooot! Nice opinion... and now he stands corrected, lol.
3:45 am
kierlex
well then he can take showers =)
3:45 am
sprite
kier: don't we all! Put them under the wallpaper and move!
3:45 am
FranMag
that's what i told him kier! :-)
3:46 am

tsss addicted grids. Heroin first now co in variations.
3:46 am
kierlex
i don't understand how 2 little people whom i love so much can make me turn into an irrational volcano of mom bitchiness
3:46 am
FranMag
yes sprite, and the ca6 that brings them in.
3:46 am
kierlex
sprite what r u talking about?
3:47 am
FranMag
it's their special gift kier.
3:47 am
sprite
that's because they are yours, kier. They know instinctively how to push your butons, one by one.
3:47 am
jakes-mum
good morning everyone
3:47 am
kierlex
and my son is like my husband (who has admitted to a counselor we've seen that YES HE LIKES TO PISS ME OFF ON PURPOSE)
3:47 am
sprite
about the bad drugs? See co6 and co7.
3:47 am
Jellen
hi, jakes-mum
3:48 am
sprite
hi jakes-mum
3:48 am
FranMag
hi jakes-mum!
3:48 am
sprite
how weird, kier... why?
3:49 am
FranMag
jakes-mum, we're just talking about the joys of having two children...are you ready for it? :-)
3:49 am
kierlex
i dont know sprite, he couldn't answer that question. he likes to push people's buttons (he gets to do that a lot in his job!!)
3:49 am
kierlex
ahh when are you due jakes-mum if you don't mind me asking?
3:50 am
sprite
true kier, but he better not press yours on purpose. Seriously.
3:50 am
lynxxx
'coz they get attention. good or bad, doesn't matter!. and boys seem to be worse than girls - in my experience only of course
3:50 am
jakes-mum
nooooooooooooo! it's hard enough with one lol! My son is his father in miniature right down to the sayings and facial expressions! I hope this ones like me (8th Jan Kier)
3:50 am
kierlex
i just want my 2 kids to LIKE each other when they get older. so they can provide some sort of support for each other.
3:50 am
FranMag
that's very true lynxxx, that's what it's all about
3:51 am
kierlex
well sprite, we've made it 16 years of marriage with him pushing my buttons...
3:51 am
FranMag
i'm sure they will kier.
3:51 am
jakes-mum
Siblings NEVER like each other! I have 2 older sisters who still hate each other to this day (I get on with both though surprisingl!)
3:51 am
sprite
I think I agree, lynxxx, my daughter seems to do that slightly less than my son.
3:52 am
sprite
I think that makes you a very patient woman, kier :)
3:52 am
kierlex
i can't stand my brother. but he molested me when i was 5-10 yrs old so i have a skewed idea of sibling relationships and i want theirs to be GOOD
3:52 am
sprite
my kids love eachother. Ok, they fight sometimes, but they play together a lot and they really help each other.
3:52 am
kierlex
sprite, i am practically perfect in every way! (as mary poppins once said)
3:52 am
kierlex
how old r your kids sprite?
3:53 am
sprite
lol kier, I am sure you are!
3:53 am
jakes-mum
I hope my 2 are like that sprite, especially as there is going to be 6 1/2 yrs between them
3:53 am
sprite
kier: daughter is 9, son is 11
3:53 am
kierlex
my son def pushes my buttons more. my daughter just pretends like she doesn't hear us and does her own thing as long as she possibly can and then she tries to 'cute' her way out of trouble
3:54 am
sprite
part of it depends on their nature, jakes-mum. If their personalities just don't click at all, there is only so much you can do. But we taught ours to communicate. Put a lot of time and effort in helping them learn. It helps!
3:54 am
jakes-mum
My son is desperate for a brother or sister, he actually said to us "I don't want to be lonely anymore" which is the main reason we decided to have another one.
3:55 am
jakes-mum
I could cope with other people saying he shouldn't be on his own but when he said he was lonely that floored me
3:55 am
FranMag
awww, that's heart-wrenching jakes-mum!
3:56 am
kierlex
ahh, that's sweet jakes-mum. however, don't be surprised when he asks to send the baby back where it came from =)
3:56 am
sprite
I have seen that putting things out in the open helps to keep the relation clear. They are bound to be jealous, or hate eachother sometimes. If they can say that they are, and aren't ridiculed for it but get help to go through it and see what is underneath those feelings, they really learn to handle them.
3:56 am
jakes-mum
I had a terrible birth with Jake which made me adamant not to do it again, but I would do anything for the happiness of my son so he asked we agreed
3:57 am
lynxxx
My 2 are 5-6 years apart, and although there was quite a bit of jealousy from the firstborn after the second came along...they are both now (as adults) really close and both have admiration & respect for each other - its lovely to see
3:57 am
jakes-mum
that is so lovely lynxxx.
3:57 am
FranMag
that's great lynxxx, something to look forward to for me
3:57 am
sprite
wow lynxxx, that is great
3:58 am
jakes-mum
I must admit even though my sisters don't get on if something ever happened I can't see either of them turning their backs on the other.
3:59 am
FranMag
that's how me and my sisters are jakes-mum, i'm the oldest of 3 girls.
3:59 am
jakes-mum
at the moment I am trying to explain to Jake why he isn't sharing his room wih the baby (we have a spare room!) he's not happy
3:59 am
flosey
back again - reading back - Sprite, Kier, FranMag - i have 4 and as kids they played great together, now as adults (in their 30's - 40's) they're great friends
3:59 am
FranMag
he'll understand when the baby cries in the middle of the night jakes-mum!
4:00 am
sprite
my sister has always been jealous. When she married a much older man who definitely didn't want any more kids (his son was older than my sister), she said she would never want kids herself. Then, when I got kids, she started hating me. Never got over it. She is divorced and remarried now, and has her own kids. I am dead to her.
4:00 am
kierlex
well, tell him that baby can have sleepovers sometimes. that's what my kids do...
4:00 am
sprite
yay flosey! Great to know!
4:00 am
FranMag
so sad sprite.
4:00 am
FranMag
hi again flosey!
4:00 am
kierlex
i'm sorry sprite....
4:01 am
jakes-mum
We told him that he wouldn't be able to have his 1/2 hour telly time in bed if they shared cos he would wake baby up
4:01 am
flosey
of course, when they were young, there were also times of differing opinions, etc and a few yelling matches
4:01 am
FranMag
congratulations on raising 4 good kids flosey!
4:01 am
sprite
yep, it is sad, but more for her than for me. I am really sorry for her that she feels so bad that she has to make me guilty for it.
4:01 am
flosey
ah Sprite, that is sad
4:01 am
Jellen
My siblings and I aren't close at all.
4:01 am
kierlex
i just wish they wouldn't pick on each other all the time. pick pick pick pick pick but as soon as you separate them.... they want to play together and miss each other and then pick pick pick pick. AGHGHG
4:02 am
sprite
flosey: my kids do that too. I have the feeling that is pretty normal, and I am so glad to hear from you that your kids still are great friends :)
4:02 am
FranMag
have you been in my house kier?
4:02 am
jakes-mum
Thats standard kids kier lol! my sisters used to sit on me and tickle me to death but if I picked one over the other they would fight over me!
4:02 am
kierlex

4:03 am
FranMag
jellen, i barely talk to my sisters either, even when we lived in the same house.
4:03 am

Tickle = love!
4:03 am
kierlex
i just can't stand the constant low-grade bickering. it's so unnecessary!!!!!!
4:03 am
sprite
but they learn a lot from that, kier.
4:03 am
meliae
one day my daughter was screaming her head off, I went to see what was up, my son had taken her babrbie doll and tied it to the curtain string, every time she would try to grab it, he would pull the other string and make the barbie fly up in the air....aww the joys of children
4:03 am
jakes-mum
It wasn't to me lynxx I am so ticklish I can't be touched on the feet undeerarms or back of legs lol

4:07 am
kierlex

4:07 am

my son is Tim. Nothing more or less. He 'felt' like a Tim. My daughter is Isis Caya. The name Caya came up just before birth and it finally became her ... what is the word... the name we use daily.
4:13 am
jakes-mum
The nanny is being very quiet about my choice of names, what do you think larlie?
4:13 am
sprite
I love those too, kier!
4:13 am
jakes-mum
I toyed with isobelle which is a name I always loved but this one doesn't feel like an isobelle, does that sound strange?
4:14 am
flosey
I too had name picked out for first child if a boy, long before the occasion, then we moved in the last month and one night lady next door screamed out to her kid "DAVID ALLEN YOU GET IN HERE" there went my name!!
4:14 am
kierlex
the only thing i thought of as odd was bailey and george together because it reminds me of 'George Bailey' in the movie 'it's a wonderful life'
4:14 am
larlielou
well like part
4:14 am
sprite
absolutely not, jakes-mum. The kid is already present and has his or her own energy with him/her. If it doesn't feel right, it isn't :)
4:14 am

jakes-mum
Sorry sprite missed your post. I love the name tim, its my brother in laws name who I adore
4:17 am
larlielou

4:18 am

4:18 am

4:18 am

my husband is named Robert, Rob in daily life. He said he always was very happy not to have more names and he wanted the same for our boy.
4:18 am

bailey is a good first name
4:19 am

my daughter only had boys but if she would have had a Girl she was going to name her Lauralynn to carry on the Lynn theme, perhaps I will get a great grandaughter with that name =)

well sprite, i must say that when i was growing up there was a cheesy show on called Shazam about a superhero and some other superhero woman and they said 'OH MIGHTY ISIS!!!' so that reminds me of that show!

I have a very strange love for 2 middle names I don't know why but Jake always was going to have 2 middle names as do both my sisters kids
4:21 am
BabbleRabble
a loveable child will make almost any name a good fit ... the name will bring good feelings to the fore .. the parents' task is to help the child make the name a word that will bring a smile

The bond between my husband and my son is amazing even when he was small he would rush past me to his dad! when I was pregnant with him if I rolled away from chris he would kick me until i'd roll over and put my belly in chris back, then these hands would feelabout to check before jake would go to sleep

jakes-mum, my daughter is such a daddy's girl. she was only 4 lbs when born and i don't think my hub put her down for the first month! I had to practically beg him to let me hold her =)

my husband decided to spread his working hours over 4 days in stead of 5, so he would have one 'normal' day each week with his kids, and not just weekend days. He did that before our son was born and he has been involved with them totally. He is a wonderful dad.

a strange baby naming story for you, when my sister was around 16 she dated a boy, they lost contact for like 20 years, when they met again they both had children, and had named them Crystal and Brian, only the names were spelled differently, they both swear they NEVER discussed baby names while they had dated for that year.

But your eating them Eva. Does that stuff work
5:54 am
Eva
The garlic clips and liquid fence spray worked until now, but apparently they gets used to anything, and you have to keep switching around. I've had a lot of luck with the coyote urine in the past, with raccoons, but we'll have to wait and see.
5:55 am

you must have more projectile equipment than mine. I think I'd just end up wet. The Shake Away critter urine is a lot easier. Also, I'm not sure the deer would be particularly intimidated by human pee.

7:34 am
Lizsark
Carlee - look what I just found - Sarnia is a city in Southwestern Ontario, Canada (city population 71,419, census area population 88,793, in 2006). It is the largest city on Lake Huron and is located where the three upper Great Lakes empty into the St. Clair River.
The city's natural harbour first attracted the French explorer La Salle, who named the site "The Rapids". The name "Sarnia" was the Latin name for Guernsey in the Channel Islands just off the coast of Normandy, France.
7:34 am

9:20 am
wurdygurl
god, long story long and short is, it was a step parent adoption and I got him at age 5 he was in another state when he was taken away from his bio mom due to neglect. My husband previously had to go to court for three years before he could get parental rights. By the time I got him he was a lost cause.

9:22 am
wurdygurl
I tried to love him the best I could, but I firmly believe he is a sociopath through and through
9:22 am
herinfernallady
I look at what i have and are grateful every day
9:23 am
wurdygurl

I was living in Springfield, but recently moved to just north of Oakland, OR
10:12 am
toadandtoadette
where is Oakland? I've never heard of that place. And I've lived in Oregon for 20 years before moving out of state
10:12 am
toadandtoadette
I know where Springfield is. I grew up in Canby
10:13 am
mrpresident

Oakland is about 25 miles north of Roseburg, and we are 15 miles north of Oakland, 15 miles south of Yoncalla, out in the middle of nowhere
10:13 am
Atalante
I'm going to move to Astoria one day
10:14 am
Tecnogrrl

10:14 am
toadandtoadette
okay. I know the general area
10:14 am
toadandtoadette
Astoria is nice. Floods alot there though
10:14 am
Atalante
my best friend lives there
10:14 am
Tecnogrrl
why Astoria, Atalante?
10:15 am
Tecnogrrl
floods alot there, and is cold and foggy even most of the summer
10:15 am
Atalante
best friend lives there and i'm feeling more and more too far away from her
10:15 am
toadandtoadette
its only cold and foggy because it is the OR coast. its a nice place though
10:16 am
Atalante
it was gorgeous there in may LOL
10:16 am
Wyrd
i live on the oregon coast, i love it!
10:16 am
toadandtoadette
I miss it so much
10:17 am
Tecnogrrl
Hi Wyrd! You are south though, it is a little warmer there
10:17 am
Wyrd
probably a bit Tecnogrrl
10:17 am
Wyrd
not so much wind
10:18 am
Tecnogrrl
you actually on the coast Wyrd, or in the bay?
10:18 am
toadandtoadette
we usually go to Lincoln City/Newport area for vacations
10:18 am
Wyrd
im on the coast...coos bay
10:18 am
Wyrd
lived within the site of the ocean/bay most my life
10:19 am
Wyrd
i cant sleep without hearing the whistle bouy or sea lions!
10:19 am
Tecnogrrl
sounds nice wyrd, I've always been drawn to water
10:20 am
Wyrd
yeah i have to have my water too Tecnogrrl
10:21 am
Tecnogrrl
I have a big pond in my yard : )
10:21 am
Tecnogrrl
but go to the Umpqua about once a week to fish
10:21 am
Wyrd
ooo..love ponds
10:21 am
Tecnogrrl
it's starting to empty as the summer dries it up
10:23 am
Wyrd
no pond here yet, would only have room for a small one, but i do have thousands of plants
10:23 am
Tecnogrrl
we have 5 acres, the pond is about 1/2 acre, in winter it can go to an acre
10:24 am
Wyrd
im thinking of all the water plants i could stick in that
10:24 am
Tecnogrrl
I was looking for water plants the other day, then was told some of them multiply and take over things so didn't get any yet
10:25 am
Tecnogrrl
was thinking of putting them in in weighted down pots now
10:25 am
Wyrd
sure, but you can rip them out occasionally or contain them
10:26 am
Wyrd
papyrus, water lillies..yum!
10:26 am
Tecnogrrl
do water lillies multiply?
10:27 am
Wyrd
yes, but fairly slowly
10:27 am
Tecnogrrl
hmm, that may be an idea. We have a big bullfrog, haven't seen him, but he's loud
10:28 am
Wyrd
plants protect and attract the animals, do you have fish?
10:28 am
Tecnogrrl
no fish, this is our 1st summer here, and not sure if it goes completely dry or not
10:29 am
Wyrd
right, that would be important to know
10:29 am
Tecnogrrl
did everyone go and leave us alone, wyrd?
10:29 am
Wyrd
maybe i bored them with all my plant talk ;)
10:30 am
Tecnogrrl
I doubt that!
10:30 am
toadandtoadette
lol no
10:31 am
Tecnogrrl
you fascinated them all and they are speechless
10:31 am

10:34 am
Jayde287

10:34 am
Tecnogrrl

10:34 am
Tecnogrrl

10:35 am
Tecnogrrl
If I went 15 miles north and got on hwy 38 I'd end up in Reedsport

10:38 am

Glad to hear you've been through here. Most people don't even think it's a state!
10:38 am
Tecnogrrl
could have taken the coastal route, but adirondacks are so pretty
10:39 am
Tecnogrrl
that's weird, as far as east coast states go, it's a fairly large one
10:40 am
Jayde287
I know!:) But I couldn't count how many times I've been asked : "You're from Vermont? What state is that in?"
10:40 am

I know your pain, Jayde. I cringe every time someone asks, "Connecticut? Where's that?"

11:31 am
waltzingandy
Anyway, my question is, what do you get if you go for pro that's different from the standard?
11:31 am
Aloyisius

flosey
goodmorning all
11:32 am
waltzingandy
Yea, I thought I might be OK at this, but the last two have been a humbling experience:)
11:32 am
flosey
waltz, you get lickety's clues - which gives you the first two letters of all words
11:33 am
waltzingandy
Addicted - may be...a sucked for punishment - sure!
11:33 am
flosey

11:33 am
Aloyisius
finally... fireworks below the grid! (-:
11:33 am
Uneaixoise
waltz, you can see the clues without going pro BUT you DO get to create your own icons!
11:33 am
waltzingandy
Oj, that explains all the questions people ask:) Wondered what all that was about!
11:33 am
pabtrek
lickety's is a must on big grids like this

11:43 am
flosey

11:44 am
Aloyisius
one of these days I hope to get to Vancouver.. I here about how beautiful it is there
11:44 am
riemann
Point out that ALL math is pounding your head into a wall until something gives.
11:44 am
flosey
it is aloy, but if you get that far you also have to come to Salt Spring Island
11:44 am
stidmama
that was my thought too -- trying to think how we will spice up 6th grade math to make it interesting...
11:44 am
Aloyisius
*hear that is... gheez, I can't spell!
11:44 am
stidmama
LOL no wonder I always get headaches when I do math!
11:45 am
riemann
Chili powder can spice up anything
11:45 am
stidmama

11:46 am
Aloyisius

11:46 am
stidmama
flosey, I AM bringing the kids up next month by the way...
11:47 am
Aloyisius

11:47 am
stidmama
going to stay with hetty and Jill -- not sure how we'll divvy up the space...
11:47 am
stidmama
ferries, Aloyisius, but it's so gorgeous that the ride is fun!
11:47 am
stidmama

11:48 am
Aloyisius

12:44 pm
darin
So... does someone usually get all the words?
12:44 pm
toadandtoadette
bichon
it is a tool used to scale fish..
12:44 pm
featherbee
a lot of us like to do the grid till we've found all the words. this is a pretty big one, normal average size is 100-175
12:45 pm
bichon
no, I found the word by looking it up. How they every came up with it I don't know
12:45 pm
danf63
darin...lots of people finish a smaller grid (100-200 words), fewer finish one this size
12:45 pm
darin
ah. I see. I was wondering.
12:45 pm
toadandtoadette
I looked ct up on Wikipedia and that is the definition I got
12:46 pm
featherbee
what's the length and points on that ct word?
12:46 pm
darin
I play a lot of Weboggle, and this is a really neat game too - but more long term and less time-based, which is nice.
12:46 pm
