kierlex - she's got bone infection - something that could have been eating away her bone for the last 18 years even. This is her 4th operation over the last 7 years, and it's not really a fix - just trying to ease the constant pain.

Morning all

morning Liz

2:33 am

Lizsark

ah there is life!!! Morning Sprite

2:33 am

sprite

barely, lol, but enough to make you feel welcome, I hope :)

2:33 am

Lizsark

half asleep still myself lol

2:34 am

sprite

*big grin*

2:34 am

Lizsark

Are you in The Netherlands Sprite?

2:35 am

sprite

I am, Liz, 20 minute's drive from Amsterdam

2:35 am

Lizsark

I've only been to Amsterdam once but I absolutely loved it

2:36 am

sprite

I have lived there, but to be honest I am glad we don't live there anymore. But to visit, yes, I still love Amsterdam :)

2:37 am

Lizsark

I could quite happily have packed my bags and moved there in an instant. It just seemed such a friendly happy place

2:39 am

sprite

there is of course a lot of crime and littering, as in every big city. But Amsterdam has an atmosphere of friendliness indeed, and it is always lively. People who are born there te4 to be open and always ready for a joke or two.

2:39 am

Atalante

and it has a Ben and Jerry's shop that sells their mint choc icecream ...

2:40 am

Lizsark

Well, I'm certainly envious of you!!!

2:40 am

sprite

lolllll yes, that is true!

2:40 am

Lizsark

LOL Ata, Morning to you!

2:40 am

sprite

Liz, you are welcome to come visit again whenever you want!

2:40 am

Atalante

got to get the important things right!

2:40 am

Lizsark

I will be doing

2:40 am

Lizsark

when the kids are older

2:41 am

Atalante

I love the City Hall in Amsterdam, its sculptures and paintings of the Greek and Roman gods are *incredible*

2:41 am

sprite

be sure to let me know, Liz!

2:41 am

Lizsark

Youve got a few years...my youngest is only 1

2:41 am

Atalante

city hall? think so, can't remember its proper name!

2:41 am

Lizsark

Do you mean the Rijksmuseum?]

2:42 am

sprite

lots of good architecture in Amsterdam indeed. I am feeling so proud, lol... great that you love our big city :)

2:42 am

Atalante

no! its not any museum ... *looks up a map of Hamsterjam*

2:42 am

sprite

Hamsterjam :D

2:42 am

Lizsark

Its a beautiful place Sprite

2:43 am

Fishbulb

morning folks, how is everyone today? :D

Morning Fish

2:44 am

2:44 am

Atalante

2:44 am

NonnieLight

Good morning all! Has anyone heard how MRP is doing?

2:44 am

Lizsark

Fish, at least its warm enough to go out in my sa 6/21 's today lol

2:45 am

sprite

Nonnie: I heard the op went ok and she is being kept under severe painkillers for now.

2:46 am

NonnieLight

Oh, OK...thank you, sprite. Bless her heart!

2:46 am

Sudokuaddict

da4,7 da 6 21 and da5,12 please

2:47 am

Fishbulb

oh, i'm fab - had a couple of days away in london, went to see the Lord of the Rings musical - i've booked the rest of the week off.

2:48 am

Atalante

oh what was it like?

2:48 am

Lizsark

I'm in a quandary today. I have 90 pages left of my book I'm reading...do I finish it today and last tomorrow without a book while awaiting Harry Potter on Saturday, or do I try and make it last???

2:48 am

sprite

do tell, Fish! How can that be made into a musical?

2:49 am

sprite

Liz... depends! Do you have something else nice to do in the meantime?

2:49 am

Lizsark

I'm a reading addict Sprite! LOL Books are the 'something nice'

2:49 am

Atalante

annoying celebrities?

2:50 am

Lizsark

ROFL ROFL ROFL Ata, especially ex pop stars perhaps?

2:50 am

Atalante

finish the book today, start another one tomorrow, then read HP, then finish that one

2:50 am

Lizsark

I think thats probably what I will do Ata, only I'll try and read fast so I can finish and new one in just the one day

2:50 am

sprite

Liz, same goes for me, but I have other hobbies too, lol. I have ordered HP too.
Any other unread books then? Or one that deserves being reread... like my yearly date with LOTR?

2:51 am

Atalante

yup! you're like me, you have to have a book or 2 on the go!

2:51 am

Lizsark

absolutely

2:51 am

Lizsark

I'm reading The Testament of Gideon Mack at the moment - loving it

2:51 am

sprite

same here... at least 1 book per holiday day... makes for heavy luggage :)

2:52 am

Lizsark

Sprite I have heaps of books waiting to be read - afraid I can't pass a shop without buying at least one (but I do have other hobbies too lol)

2:52 am

Atalante

I'm reading a book I've been trying not to read because I was sure I'd hate it - Perdido Street Station by China Mieville. He has such a pretentious name

2:52 am

sprite

it is amazing we still get other things done, isn't it!

2:52 am

Lizsark

oo haven't tried that one

2:52 am

Lizsark

yes sprite especially with babble here waiting too

2:53 am

sprite

and do you like it, Ata?

2:53 am

Atalante

I *love* it. I dont normally like sci-fi, industrial type things, normally I hate them. But this is beautiful

2:53 am

sprite

does anyone here knit?

2:54 am

Lizsark

I used to Sprite but I dont have enough hands to hold the book and read at the same time

2:54 am

Sudokuaddict

my mom used to sort of

2:55 am

Sudokuaddict

my moms asleep because its way late here

2:55 am

sprite

I knit while watching tv, usually. I have a problem with a new pattern. I need to start with 6 stitches, one stitch per needle, to start a round pattern. I cannot see how I can start knitting on needles though!

2:55 am

Lizsark

Afriad I must go...dogs are whining to go walking and the sun is shining plus my baby girl needs to get out and about. See you all later - great chatting to you

2:56 am

sprite

has anyone tried that some time?

2:56 am

sprite

Liz, sounds like a great day ahead. Enjoy and thanks for the great company.

2:56 am

Lizsark

Sprite my other half watches the tv and I read (I dont share his choice of programmes!) LOL

2:57 am

Sudokuaddict

sprite what time is over there?

2:57 am

Lizsark

See you all later then have fun *poof*

2:57 am

sprite

almost 10 am here, SA

2:57 am

Atalante

sprite, there are some knitters on here in our evenings, usually

2:58 am

sprite

but I wanna knit today! *stamps feet*

2:59 am

Sudokuaddict

sprite what time is it over there?

2:59 am

sprite

Sudokuaddict, I just answered your question!

2:59 am

Sudokuaddict

oh sorry i didnt see it my bad its late

3:00 am

sprite

np :)

3:00 am

Sudokuaddict

well im going to leave i need some sleep

3:01 am

Sudokuaddict

3:01 am

sprite

3:01 am

Sudokuaddict

or later whatever

3:01 am

Sudokuaddict

thanks i will

3:01 am

Sudokuaddict

you too

3:01 am

Sudokuaddict

later

3:02 am

Fishbulb

well, i have to admit sprite i wasn't looking forward to it but i promised my best friend i'd go - it was fantastic!! less of a musical and more of a theatrical production. It was truly magical, would recommend it to anyone (apart from the giant spider scene *shudder*)

3:03 am

sprite

wow Fish, would never expect that! Thought it would be impossible to create that atmosphere in a musical.

3:05 am

Fishbulb

i cannot begin to explain how brilliant it was and i was very sceptical of it... even before the show starts, the hobbits are on stage trying to catch fireflys but they're too high up so they get bigger and bigger nets. They put them all in a jar and throw them into the curtain (which is made up of a giant ring surrounded by wood-like trees) some fly through and some fly round the theatre - it was that good i nearly cried!

3:05 am

sprite

wow Fish! In that case... I might go myself! Is it suitable for kids too?

3:07 am

Fishbulb

probably older kids (10+) i'd say, as the orc's were a little frightening and I'm a terrible self-confessed arachnaphobic and had to not watch for a bit when the giant spider was on stage

3:09 am

sprite

wonderful! Thanks Fish, will keep this in mind!

3:11 am

sprite

fireworks

3:11 am

Fishbulb

well done sprite - i've only just started myself

3:12 am

sprite

argh, I hate the movie today. I cannot see fun in people hurting themselves.

3:13 am

candy

Sprite - I am a knitter but this sounds outside my limits!!

3:14 am

sprite

it is just the start I cannot get done, lol. I have the 6 stitches on the 6 needles, but I cannot get them round enough to start knitting!

3:15 am

candy

I think I have watched my Gran do that and it was very tight to knit

3:15 am

sprite

ah, a friend just says why not start on 3 needles first, and distribute over more on4 you have more stitches

3:15 am

Fishbulb

6 stitches on 6 needles?? are you knitting a jumper for a bug?

3:15 am

sprite

LOLLLLL no it is a poncho. It is knitted in the round, you start at the center of the back. It is SO beautiful!

3:16 am

Atalante

6 needles *collapses* I can't use 2 needles!

3:16 am

Fishbulb

oh, sounds lovely, but 6 needles? sounds terribly confusing! I can just about cope with two and pearl stitch

3:16 am

helenary

hello everyone. Please a clue for that go5/16, the one after the city in India, and before Him. Thanks.

3:17 am

sprite

Him + latin for and or too

3:19 am

helenary

thank you Sprite.

3:19 am

sprite

it has 3 different patterns, and you repeat the patterns on each needle. Later on you can put it on a circular needle if you want, but you have to mark the begin stitches then. It is a lovely lovely poncho. I really hope I am good enough to make it :)

3:20 am

lynxxx

see now what you need Sprite is one of the needles that has a hard point at both ends but a flexible joining/bit. One needle to use - not 6!

3:21 am

sprite

lol yes lynxxx... but that does not work in the beginning, with only 6 stitches!

3:22 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone - but goodbye, I was just seeing how much I have to find after I get home after a night out. Any news from Lickety? I caught up on his chat last nite.

3:22 am

candy

I finished a poncho about 3 weeks ago but it was knit on 4mm needles and was very straightforward

3:22 am

Fishbulb

i've never finished anything i've started knitting

3:23 am

Atalante

lol nor me fishbulb

3:23 am

sprite

this is on 4mm as well, and not straight but round, LOL. I'd love to make it... hope I can!

3:24 am

lynxxx

ooh roo! catch you all later

3:24 am

Fishbulb

bye lynxxx

3:25 am

sprite

bye lynxxx have a good one

3:25 am

sprite

I am off too, a little sudoku and then to the doctor. Have a great day or night or whatever, all of you. *hugs*

3:26 am

Fishbulb

bye for now sprite *waves*

3:26 am

Atalante

bye dear!

3:32 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

3:32 am

Atalante

you're lucky haz, you've just missed Knitting Talk

3:32 am

jakes-mum

hello all

3:32 am

Fishbulb

morning haz

3:33 am

Haz1558

Oh, knitting talk is okay. I can knit. Not coloured stuff, but I can do aran.....

3:33 am

Atalante

ahhhh :) didnt know if knitting was included in the S topic

3:34 am

Haz1558

Knitting needles are non-taboo!

3:34 am

FMitch

Walks through the door and faints. Morning all.
Sorry I thought Haz said she knits?

3:35 am

Atalante

LOL they are too big to stab oneself with unwittingly

3:35 am

Atalante

yes, I thought I heard that too!

3:35 am

Haz1558

Yes, indeed - my knitting featured in my school teacher daughter's Christmas play. A blanket knit on HUGE needles.

3:36 am

FMitch

Ahh yes I had forgotten that Haz.

3:36 am

Haz1558

But it's been a while since I knit anything wearable. You get out of the habit somehow.

3:37 am

Atalante

awww I have a little warm Hobbit nose on my foot

3:37 am

FMitch

Did you know that if you bounce your digital camera onto a hard surface from less than a foot up it won't work anymore? *sobs*

3:37 am

Haz1558

I might have guessed that it would happen... Poor FMitch, what a nasty thing!

3:39 am

Atalante

um yeah, I discovered that very thing recently

3:39 am

FMitch

Not a happy bunny as I was just getting to grips with it again. Oh well... Pulls self together *sob*. Happens to all the best people then Ata :)

3:40 am

Atalante

everyone does it once ...

3:40 am

Haz1558

No chance of getting it repaired?

3:40 am

Atalante

its just a sign that you need a bigger and btter camera!

3:42 am

Karys

Hello everyone....if certain people had not got other certain people invovled with beads and things, then the latter certain people might have more time to spend with chat and such !!!!

3:42 am

Atalante

LOOOOOOL :)

3:42 am

FMitch

No warrenty left Haz and would love to Ata but not in budget at the mo.
Anyway enough of that, can you believe 14 vowels in the grid!!!!

LOL Karys

3:42 am

Haz1558

I can see Karys' fingers pointing in all sorts of directions.....

3:43 am

Karys

All my spare cash is now boxed in pretty colours !!

3:44 am

Atalante

woohooo :)

3:44 am

FMitch

Ohh you got it bad Karys!!! I have same boxes of pretty colours and sparkles calling my name from the shelf.

3:45 am

Atalante

you'll be amazed, fm, at how cheap decent digital cameras are. so when you do get some budget, you should be able to get a lovely one!

3:46 am

Karys

But I do need to say 'thank you' to the certain people, since I am enjoying myself enormously, and keep telling myself that what I am doing is all for Christmas prezzies.

3:46 am

jakes-mum

look on ebay fmitch you can pick up a good camera off there if you are willing to get up for a auction that finishes early

3:47 am

Haz1558

And will your husband like his beads?

3:47 am

Atalante

and its so much cheaper making pressies than buyying them! so really you're saving money :)

3:47 am

FMitch

I am glad you are enjoying it so much Karys.
Hi j-m

3:47 am

FMitch

We are dreadful, we could justify anything if we put our heads together :)

3:48 am

Karys

Think I might do Worry Beads for him Haz !!

3:48 am

Haz1558

He probably loves you enough to wear beads, just to make you happy!

3:48 am

jakes-mum

hi fm sorry about your camera hun! I have a minolta that my hubby bought me years ago and i would be devastated if I broke it

3:49 am

Karys

Now if I could the scanner working I could send pictures to Mitch for approval ( or not, as the case may be !)

3:50 am

Karys

Don't think he loves me quite that much Haz ! but I have just forgone a meal out on Sunday night because of the Golf !!

3:50 am

Haz1558

You are a good wife.

3:51 am

FMitch

Do try Karys that would be great, would so love to see. I was taking pics of the ones I have made when the "accident" occured.

3:51 am

Karys

( you need a 'get' in there somewhere, just feel free to fill in the blanks)

3:51 am

Karys

was she not in The Canterbury Tales ?

3:51 am

jakes-mum

fm, was the camera expensive? if so you can claim off the ouse insurance for something like that

3:52 am

jakes-mum

*house

3:52 am

Karys

Thats a good idea jakes, we pay enough to them don't we

3:53 am

FMitch

Hmm han't thought about that j-m thanks for the idea.

3:53 am

jakes-mum

exactly!, we did when my son threw his dads camcorder down the stairs 4 years ago

3:53 am

Atalante

*sigh* can I be sad for a moment? seeing as we're on broken cameras and stuff. I spoke to one of my husband's best friends last night. He's such a lovely man, I'd do anything for him. He's always had a few issues with alcohol and drugs, but now his business has gone under, and he's depressed, alone, and "officially" an alcoholic and drug addict, though thank goodness only cannabis and cocaine, not heroin or anything truly truly awful. as if coke isn't bad enough lol

3:53 am

Atalante

oh yes, good idea, j-m

3:53 am

jakes-mum

and chris' mum claimed for when the freezer broke they paid for a new one and £200 for the food inside

3:53 am

Karys

husband here says yes you can Mitch

3:55 am

Karys

Sad story Ata, I have one to add, one of my friends lost her husband on Friday.

3:55 am

Haz1558

Yes, you can be sad, Atalante - your friend has a lot of problems.

3:55 am

jakes-mum

oh karys and ata that is so terrible (hugs to both)

3:55 am

Atalante

I just wish I could do something more to help him, its awful watching the equivalent of a slow-motion train wreck

3:56 am

FMitch

LOL thank you to Karys's hubby.

Sorry about your friend Ata, such a vicious downward spiral. I do hope he will find a way out.

3:56 am

Karys

You are doing something Ata..you are there for him !

3:56 am

Haz1558

I know, Atalante, but you're only qualified to be his friend, he needs professional help with the addictions etc.

3:57 am

Atalante

so do I, I just don't think he will. He enjoys drink and drugs too much *big sigh* and refuses to take help. Well, maybe one day we'll get through to him

3:58 am

FMitch

Unfortunately with addiction there is very little that anyone can do until he has decided enough is enough. Depression is aggrevated by alcohol and any meds he might be offered would be counteracted. Very hard but if he has the strenght he can come through it.

3:58 am

jakes-mum

until he decides he needs help all you can do is be his friend ata, I had a friend following that path, luckily she did come round and is now a mum, but it's horrible to watch and know you can't stop them

3:59 am

grannyrose

g'day all

3:59 am

jakes-mum

hi rmcc!

3:59 am

Haz1558

Hello rmc.

3:59 am

Karys

Good morning rmc

3:59 am

FMitch

Hi rmc

3:59 am

grannyrose

have you lot finished the grid?

4:00 am

Karys

Only just started rmc !

4:00 am

jakes-mum

not me :-(

4:00 am

Haz1558

Some of the early birds might have, I certainly haven't.

4:00 am

Atalante

at the moment, he flown home so his family can look after him - actually, he comes from very close to you Haz, so watch out for drunken people staggering around muttering about how he can't be a lawyer any more!

4:00 am

grannyrose

hey, jakes-mum, how is that poor little bub from next door?

4:01 am

Haz1558

But the streets are full of people like that, Atalante. Does he wear a carnation or anything?

4:01 am

jakes-mum

no crying last night so hopefully he has settled down

4:01 am

Karys

Got to go and shop... back later

4:01 am

jakes-mum

bye karys

4:01 am

Atalante

hmmmm, no. maybe he should do.

4:02 am

FMitch

Bye beady one :)

4:02 am

grannyrose

and you? did you catch up on some sleep last night?

4:02 am

jakes-mum

I was out for the count until 9am!! I was tired

4:02 am

Haz1558

If he's anywhere in the town he'll be in William Street. Something like 8 pubs in the one street.

4:03 am

grannyrose

you poor thing! there's nothing like being preggers and no sleep.

4:03 am

Atalante

8! wow, so its true that all irish men do is drink? :P

4:04 am

jakes-mum

feel better today though, a good sleep always makes me feel better

4:04 am

grannyrose

how long to go now, jakes-mum?

4:04 am

Haz1558

No - some of them like a few drinks, that's true. I don't know why there are so many pubs on the one street, but it makes pub-crawling easier I suppose.

4:05 am

jakes-mum

only at 14 weeks (sigh) long way to go, though according to the books i'm now coming into the "blooming" stage where everything is lovely (no sign of it yet)

4:05 am

grannyrose

lol, haz. is crawling the operative word?

4:06 am

FMitch

After 8 oubs, definately!

4:06 am

Haz1558

I imagine some stag nights start at one end and work their way up the street, with taxis waiting at the other to get them home safely.

4:06 am

grannyrose

i bet you're gorgeous! i just love preggies.

4:07 am

jakes-mum

hubby keeps telling me i'm lovely (which is his job lol) I think he remembers what I was like the last time when he left me at home to go to the pub and I convinced myself he was embarassed to be seen with me!!

4:07 am

grannyrose

* sigh* those were the days.

4:09 am

grannyrose

stuck, here, with 4 to go. any takers for clues?

4:09 am

Haz1558

You remember me talking about the 'traveller' families who live in the town? A few years ago one of the grandparents died and the funeral was delayed until all the relatives could get there from all over the place. William Street was permanently parked up with vans and lorries while serious drinking was done. Eventually the women of the clan went to the priest to declare that they were running out of money, and the funeral needed to happen soon. The priest was dispatched off to all the pubs to declare that the funeral was going to happen in the morning and to get themselves home to get sober!

What a tale! Can you write a script for TV adaptation? Haven't been your literary agent for a while :)

4:11 am

grannyrose

4:11 am

Atalante

4:12 am

jakes-mum

4:12 am

Atalante

4:12 am

Haz1558

There are tales galore about this particular family. Their funerals and weddings are something to behold. Have you ever seen a wreath done in the shape of a Bailey's bottle, for instance?

4:12 am

grannyrose

extend and contract, the word, not your belly.

4:12 am

FMitch

Nooo!!!!

4:13 am

jakes-mum

4:13 am

Atalante

they really do need a soap opera about them. the Dingles x 10!

4:13 am

grannyrose

lol haz, you've got to be kidding!

4:13 am

Haz1558

Yes, indeed. A bottle shaped frame, silk crysanthemums in the brown colour, a scanned label, blown up and attached. The height of good taste.

4:13 am

FMitch

That would be a great opening shot, camera pans away, fades out and the story starts.

4:14 am

Haz1558

AND , and I kid you not, it's tradition for them to leave a six pack of beer at the grave.....

4:14 am

herinfernallady

Irishman fall into 2 categories: Tea totters or drinkers no middle ground. And funerals have two sorts Catholics and Prodisents Typically Catholics drink more and are louder. Prodisents more uptight

4:14 am

Atalante

how long before someone steals it and drinks it?

4:14 am

jakes-mum

4:19 am

FMitch

With the misspelling they are probably titmen Ata

4:19 am

Haz1558

No, not so much hitmen as territorial about their things and their people. They keep themselves to themselves - mostly!

4:20 am

Atalante

do they have a pack of straggly dogs?

4:20 am

grannyrose

rosalind, thanx, have that one. it's the first 6/21 i need

4:20 am

8:48 am

Fishbulb

excellent stuff! it did make me chuckle though, i like the reasoning behind it - its the same reasoning that makes me believe that wine = made of grapes therefore one of my '5 a day' chocolate = from a plant, therefore healthy!

8:49 am

Takuma Sato

howdy folks

8:57 am

hetty

8:57 am

lynxxx

Takuma Sato

you can find them at one of the links on the right side of lickety's page, granny

8:58 am

9:00 am

Takuma Sato

heh, hetty -- yeah, I don't get out much, so I have to deal in stereotypes

9:00 am

grannymaxx

eva you don't live too far from me here in Waldorf, MD :)

9:01 am

hetty

Eva, I love your icon, never seen it before. Do you really have the T-shirt?

9:03 am

Takuma Sato

alright - changed my icon to get with the theme, eh?

9:04 am

hetty

It's a speaking likeness of me, Taku

9:05 am

Takuma Sato

lol hetty -- yeah, I was trying to pick someone all Canadians resemble

9:15 am

NonoNanette

9:17 am

Takuma Sato

howdy nanette! I think this is the most popular theme I've seen in awhile

9:17 am

Fishbulb

9:21 am

O great - methodically doing the grid and get to the As... I hate words starting with vowels!

9:21 am

Takuma Sato

Napoleon Dynamite's favorite animal is in the grid!

9:23 am

lynxxx

and he is??? (forgive my ignorance)

9:23 am

hetty

Eh?

dfsf

Uneaixoise

9:23 am

NonoNanette

9:23 am

Takuma Sato

The title character of a cult movie from a couple years ago

9:24 am

Takuma Sato

It's the offspring of two big cats of different species

hetty

Is that you I'm looking at now?

9:26 am

Takuma Sato

I didn't change my icon, eh?

9:27 am

Takuma Sato

oh - maybe it just refreshed -- I switch from the ugly doll awhile ago (I thought the new icon was the one you were referring to)

9:27 am

Takuma Sato

heh, no -- it's Jacques Villeneuve

9:27 am

featherbee

hi all, resting for a few

9:27 am

featherbee

ad6/27 please?

9:28 am

WellI'm glad we got that sorted out. Changing icons is a risky business

9:30 am

featherbee

ok, well if not that one, maybe the ad6/21?

9:30 am

Takuma Sato

I've been having a bear of a time with the 'A's -- haven't gotten the ad6's either

9:31 am

featherbee

9:33 am

Judi

Morning, everyone! *passes flame-thrower to Jacula*. Start filiming the blockbuster now!

9:34 am

lynxxx

Hi Judi

9:34 am

Jacula

They are yucky! Clouds of them in the air when I went shopping, everyone swatting and waving their arms about.

9:34 am

Jacula

Thanks, Judi. Don't want to set the house on fire, though. LOL

9:36 am

NonoNanette

A british friend of mine once told me they never have insects.... where did they come from Jacula do you know?

9:36 am

hetty

Jac, great icon, I'm sure he'd help get rid of pests; mounties always get their man eh?

9:36 am

Jacula

LOL, hetty!

9:36 am

Judi

Hmm. Yes - house fire would be problematic.

9:36 am

flosey

hey, indeed, great icon Jacula

9:37 am

Takuma Sato

Time for me to get to work. Good luck all, eh?

9:37 am

NonoNanette

have a great day Takuma!

9:37 am

hetty

Flosey, did you know we are named as theme for the day?

9:37 am

Jacula

Nanette, it's a new moon, I think, and that's when they swarm, also the first sunny day we've had for ages. There are ant nests everywhere anyway. They're removed all the mortar from between the slabs on my front drive.

9:38 am

flosey

yes hetty - did you read mine?

9:39 am

harpjane

does anyone remember my book? The Royal Canadian Air Force fitness plan?

9:39 am

flosey

I remember it jane

9:39 am

hetty

Just read your profile, Flo. Makes great reading.

9:39 am

Jacula

My uncle and aunt lived in Courtice, Ontario until a few weeks ago. They're now moved to a retirement bungalow in Oshawa, Ontario.

9:40 am

flosey

tks hetty

9:40 am

hetty

Hard not to boast, isn't it? Must liv eup to the Canadian reputtaion for modesty

9:40 am

Jacula

I think they started off in Toronto when they moved to Canada in the late 60s and then they went to Vancouver Island, then Courtice etc.

9:41 am

flosey

as a young kid I lived a few miles west of Oshawa Jacula - then moved to North York - just north of Toronto

9:41 am

harpjane

i still use it, hetty!

9:41 am

harpjane

i mean i still use it, flosey!

9:41 am

hetty

Wonder why they left Vancouver Island, Jac

9:42 am

flosey

really, good for you

9:42 am

Jacula

It was to be nearer their son, hetty (his work took him to Ontario) and they wanted to look after their grandson.

9:42 am

hetty

I don't mind at all being confused with Flo. We're both Canadian, eh?

9:42 am

flosey

yes hetty, I'd find it difficult to move back to Ontario winters - plus the humidity of summers

9:42 am

raelite

eh? ;)

9:43 am

harpjane

I couldn't find a pic of the Edmonton Mall roller coaster....

9:43 am

flosey

that I do understand Jac. my only grandson is in Toronto

9:43 am

hetty

and Flo is a great-looking gal

9:44 am

raelite

maybe there's a pic of it on their website, harp?

9:44 am

harpjane

oh well, I"ll stick with my royal mounties physical fitness plan!

9:44 am

hetty

9:45 am

hetty

the Sheepdog is coming to play a gig on the island August 14

9:45 am

Jacula

Like Haz does, I have Babbled before putting my week's shopping away. I'd better go and do it and then have some salmon & cucumber on fresh crusty bread for a late lunch. BBL.

11:08 am

stidmama

we don't water anything but very new trees and the actual garden areas with flowers or veggies. Everything else takes its chances with us!

11:08 am

stidmama

of course, it's expected to rain up in the islands while we're gone too! :-) serves me right for planning a trip middle of the summer, eh?

11:09 am

Anne38

hi everyone a clue for la 6 24 please x

11:09 am

kristinc

random question -- whats the best way you all have found to deal with stress??
been under quite a bit lately, and while some of it has subsided, some of it is still ongoing...
looking for good ways to relax myself...

11:56 am

11:58 am

dicktrickle

Jellen

And laughter--I have a collection of comedy dvds.

11:58 am

cybernan

need to take 5 --- not seeing anything at the moment --bbl

11:58 am

EvaNadine

the downside is that I now have almost nothing in my bank account, and I think I may have to borrow money from my parents to pay my mortgage. :/

11:58 am

Atalante

definitely just quiet time where you can relax and stare into space for a while and just breathe then

11:59 am

EvaNadine

I also managed to re-home my cats, which is a good thing. But I couldnt get them a home together, and I will miss them, which is sad. :/

11:59 am

11:59 am

They both went to homes with good people who have more free time than I do, so they will get more affection and attention than I have been able to give them. I dont know that anyone can give them more love than I have for them though...

12:01 pm

Atalante

no, but they can give them equal but different love

12:01 pm

doxy1lover

another set of books I always recommend to people is Tad Williams' Otherland quartet. They are long, detailed, don't read them if you like conventional books, or a quick easy read. BUt if you like in depth fantasy / sci-fi / adventure / gothic / many other themes, they are quite remarkable

4:23 pm

but I defy anyone not to like Sabriel, its soooooooo good.
