1:16 am

VolleymomDee

other 7/8 co combo just requires one vowel change

1:17 am

FranMag

yay! found the em7, 7s greyed out

1:17 am

jillibus

1:17 am

VolleymomDee

def of ph 8 = pertaining to or based on the observable similarities and differences between organisms without regard to assumed genealogy.

1:17 am

jillibus

1:18 am

Douglas

1:20 am

VolleymomDee

1:20 am

FranMag

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

1:22 am

loredana

well its usually to take the focus off something else not sure what that would be though???

1:23 am

loredana

Jilli well it wouldnt put me off Jilli have wanted to visit Canada since i was a small girl and oneday i will get there

1:23 am

VolleymomDee

1:24 am

Douglas

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

lynxxx

Jilli - I just looked at the SmartTraveller site - that warning re terrorism is pretty standard on all the 100s of countries that have been covered. Actually the warnings around NZ look worse. The Govt site just gives an overview of most countries as advice for Australian travellers

2:32 am

2:32 am

dcseain

Tanja

2:53 am

FranMag

that's a good one sprite

2:53 am

dcseain

2:53 am

crpw48

good quote sprite

2:54 am

dcseain

Pohick is a place near hear, which is haunting me in the grid - it's a native name.

2:54 am

MVA

nice one sprite

2:54 am

dcseain

sprite, was the quote attributed?

2:54 am

sprite

I took it to heart. Helps with a lot of fears!
and yes dc... though life seldom takes us where we want to go, it definitely brings us where we need to be. (and that is a quote from my book, lol)

2:54 am

sprite

dc, it wasn't, sorry.

2:55 am

dcseain

indeed so, sprite :) and all good about the attribution.

2:56 am

FranMag

3:01 am

sprite

you are making perfect sense, dc, so don't bother.

3:01 am

ChrissieDee

Sprite, the "quote" I like is "don't sweat the small stull - it's all small stuff", far less poetic than your's but equally good for putting things in perspective

3:01 am

FranMag

another good one chrissie

3:01 am

dcseain

i had grilled swiss and tomato, friend had bagel w/lox and cream cheese.

3:01 am

I am sorry about the pain, dc. Pain is debilitating and a nasty energy sucker. Take care of you!

3:15 am

dcseain

3:15 am

3:15 am

sprite

dc... what is T3?

3:16 am

dcseain

dream sweetly, fran!

3:16 am

dcseain

Tylenol 3 - acetominiphin with codeine.

3:16 am

ChrissieDee

bye fran

3:16 am

sprite

ah, I see. Pretty bad pain!

3:18 am

dcseain

ended up with the T3, after i had an anaphylactic reaction to Toradol, an NSAID.

3:18 am

sprite

how's the back now?

3:18 am

dcseain

Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflamitory Drug.

3:18 am

sprite

and Fran... sweet or naughty dreams, your choice ;)

3:18 am

dcseain

very well sprite, i strained it horribly in 3h of agressive dish washing while camping :)

3:19 am

dcseain

so i learned some useful limits and this year, i will recruit help

3:19 am

dcseain

need to start menu-planning for that event soon.

3:19 am

lynxxx

I knew camping was bad for you!

3:19 am

sprite

GOOD, dc. Do so. Bodily limits are there for a reason, lol... I know. Am learning that too.

3:20 am

dcseain

but, lynxxx, we gather for 3 days of ice-cream making!

3:20 am

ChrissieDee

dc are you accident prone - picking up the cat and dish washing are not usually debilitating activities lol

3:20 am

ChrissieDee

must be one fat cat and hell of a lot of dishes!!

3:20 am

sprite

depends on the amount of time spent in one rush, Chrissie, lol.

3:21 am

lynxxx

nope, can't convince me, nasty stuff that camping

3:21 am

dcseain

the cat and i were in bed - he sleeps curled on my arm. One night he pushed into my wrist with his rear claws, pushitg the point with the tendiniitis into a drawer pull.

3:21 am

dcseain

dishes - 3 hours of washing things in knee-deep - at the bottom - sinks, wash, rinse, sanatize, for equipment that had been stored for 2 years, plus anything else that came back while i was doing that.

3:21 am

sprite

lol lynxxx, don't worry, nobody will force you! *hug*

3:22 am

dcseain

friend and i stayed in a hotel, and commuted to the campsite, due to her disabilities.

3:22 am

dcseain

so, days and half the night at campground, back to hotel to sleep and shower.

3:23 am

lynxxx

now that sounds good though! hotel & ice-cream

3:23 am

ChrissieDee

with you there lynxxx

3:23 am

dcseain

last year we mad 98 flavours.

3:24 am

dcseain

i invented Indian Rose - a rose ice cream with cinnamon and cardamom.

3:24 am

sprite

oh wow, dc.

3:24 am

sprite

I love the sound of that, dc. Good combination.

3:24 am

lynxxx

YUM!

3:25 am

dcseain

http://www.baitcon.org/ is the event

3:25 am

dcseain

flavour lists are there.

3:25 am

dcseain

we're putting together a new cookbook now.

3:25 am

dcseain

the tomato ice cream was fabulous- tasted like fresh tomato, based it on a recipe for grape ice cream.

3:26 am

dcseain

i'm working on perfecting teh recipe. i'll post it when i do, sprite. the spicing was good, but the texture was too hard when frozen.

3:27 am

sprite

please do, dc, I'd love to try it!

3:28 am

lynxxx

Usually don't like cooked tomato, but I used to make a tomato jelly (mould served with salad veges) so a tomato ice-cream would be equally yummy

3:29 am

sprite

mould? Now I am sure I got that wrong...

3:29 am

dcseain

lynxx, i'll get the recipe of that one for you, friend who lives by me made it.

3:29 am

dcseain

mold, sprite, british mould, in the this case to form into a shape using a mo(u)ld.

3:30 am

dcseain

like a gelatin, or an aspic, or a jelly, or a butter.

3:30 am

sprite

I must be crazy again. I am thinking of things that grow hairy in the fridge, lol.

3:30 am

dcseain

same word, sprite, 2 very different meanings.

3:30 am

sprite

that tomato jelly sounds great though, lynxxx. Very decorative.

3:31 am

lynxxx

same word Sprite. I use a lot of English spelling - as Australians usually do

3:31 am

sprite

ah, ok! Thanks dc :) Learned something new today, again.

3:31 am

dcseain

there was a tomato sorbet, also, but the ice cream was mich nicer. i lked the creamed corn ice cream and the pea ice cream also. It was easy to imagine them as a cold conterpoint to their hot counterparts.

3:32 am

ChrissieDee

3:32 am

PH8 sounds like the word used to described sounds in speech, but change the 1 vowel for another

7:15 am

ph8 is like a method of writing where the words are spelled as they sound, e.g. telefone. Change 1st vowel.

inge

OK JB I am all ears

8:33 am

JBsAnno

On Tuesday, the Reverend Al Sharpton from New York City came to Philadelphia with high indignation and readiness to right a wrong, to fight injustice, and to garner more publicity for himself. He has a knack for showing up to "help"

8:33 am

Scarlet

Remember Tawana Brawley?

8:33 am

inge

always does

8:34 am

JBsAnno

Exactly, Scarlet - gold star for you!

8:36 am

JBsAnno

So His Honor, Michael Nutter, was shown in all his mayoral glory on the 11:00pm newscast politely but FIRMLY telling the good reverend - thanks for the offer, bub, but we've got it covered. Aren't there problems in New York City that you should be attending to? I'm sure they appreciate your talent there - basically go home, buddy, we ain't letting you play in our sandbox

8:36 am

JBsAnno

It was awesome!

8:37 am

weegee

JBsAnno

Then my DH (dear husband) starts chuckling....I looked at him expectantly...

8:37 am

Scarlet

That's a first... real guts in the face of the AL-storm... wow... kudos to Mayor Nutter!!

9:21 am

lilliann

9:21 am

Scrabbler

happy Australia Day!

9:21 am

lynxxx

9:21 am

Scrabbler

RTH--what is making you feel the worst? Respiratory sxs or just tired?

9:21 am

lilliann

9:22 am

lynxxx

9:22 am

dan2bit

9:22 am

redturtlehead

Low grade fever Scrabbs, extreme stuffy nose and really really tired....Will Bunny be alright? It is only day 3 of Z pack...

9:23 am

lynxxx

ra6 ra + the curved roof on a cathedral etc

9:23 am

Scrabbler

Rabbits can develop a problem called gastrointestinal stasis--sort of like constipation, where they stop eating and pooping, and they can get sicker quickly and die. He did eat some pieces of greens but usually he devours his salad. He is also less active.

9:23 am

lynxxx

get better soon Red, look after yourself

9:24 am

redturtlehead

I hope your feedin him speeds his system up!!

9:24 am

Scrabbler

RTH--are you doing 500 mg/day x 3d?

9:24 am

lilliann

hope the feeding helps scrab

9:24 am

redturtlehead

I did 1000 mg the first day then 4 days of 500, on day 3...

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Big doses, RTH. Take some probiotics or eat yogurt.

9:25 am

dan2bit

ty lynxxx. get well soon, Scrabblerabbit

9:25 am

Scrabbler

Are you coughing much, RTH?

9:25 am

Scrabbler

TY all for your concern about Sebastian. He is my tiny 3 lb bundle of love.

9:26 am

redturtlehead

It was rather a big dose...Eat yogurt every day...No cough really...just feel so so tired, and all this sinus congestion...

9:26 am

Scrabbler

Do saline irrigations of your sinus spaces, with a Neti pot or sinus irrigation kit. That will help a lot.

9:26 am

redturtlehead

I really hope he gets better Scrabbs...when I worked at an emergency Vet Clinic, the Rabbits were some of the most sensitive creatures...hard to treat. He;s Lucky to have you.

9:27 am

redturtlehead

It won't wash up infection into the sinuses??

9:27 am

Uniquity

How many bunnies do you have Scrabbler? I forgot...:(
I hope that Sebastien gets well though..we need to call in Mr. Haz!
Good morning everyone!

9:27 am

lilliann

hi uni!

9:28 am

redturtlehead

Hi Uni!

9:28 am

lynxxx

Hi Uniquity

9:28 am

redturtlehead

Ooooh, icon theme is safari...I've actually done one...will upload safari image if I can find one..

9:28 am

Scrabbler

I have 4 bunnies. Sebastian is 5 and the sweetest one I have ever had. I sleep with him! Yes, I wanted to talk with Jacula or Loredana, as they have bunnies too, but I have dealt with this before and I know what I have to do for him.

9:28 am

Uniquity

Hey Lilli, Red and Lynxxx!

9:28 am

Uniquity

How is everyone feeling?

9:29 am

Scrabbler

RTH--read about Neti pots or the Neil Med sinus irrigation systems--making a resurgence in popularity.

9:29 am

Scrabbler

It just started snowing AGAIN!

9:30 am

Uniquity

Wow, 4 bunnies feels like a lot, but then again, they have a whole house to romp in, so I s'pose you could use some more! I've always wanted a bunny, but my stepbro finally got one a few years ago, and he is pretty much the killer rabbit from Monty Python. I think I am off bunnies for life :(

9:30 am

Scrabbler

I watched the Bourne Ultimatum last night--wow, great action!

9:31 am

Scrabbler

Rabbits have different personalities. Callie is quite sassy, Gandlaf has extreme anxiety, Tucker is kind of a dopey boy, and Sebastian is my lovey.

9:32 am

redturtlehead

Yay for the snow Queen, Scrabbs, thanks for your concern...Lots of docs I know like the neti pot, but I've n ot really been brave enough...if I can manage it I may go an investigate it...

9:32 am

Uniquity

I would want two, so they could keep each other company. One cuddly and one attitude...I am a cat person, and have always adored creatures that like to cuddle. (and eat cheese!)

9:33 am

Scrabbler

people swear by it, RTH, so it is something to consider--like a Roto-Rooter for your nasal and sinus spaces.

9:34 am

Scrabbler

Uni--the bunnies are separate as they are very territorial animals.

9:34 am

redturtlehead

Do your cats like to cuddle Uni? Only a few of my Moms really like that...She only has 3 lest anyone think she is a mad cat lady.

9:34 am

Scarlet

Back again. Hi, Scrabbler and Uni and all... I love my neti pot... I think it has been integral to my not getting very sick for years... but, as soon as I say that, I'll get hit with something...

9:34 am

Uniquity

Aww, that's no fun

9:35 am

Scarlet

Sorry about Sebastion, Scrabbler... I know he is your special one...

9:35 am

Scrabbler

OK, I have to go check on Sebastian upstairs and feed him by syringe. BBL Hi Scarlet! Dodge the germs!

9:35 am

redturtlehead

Dont get sick Scalret!!!! It isnt worth it.

9:35 am

Scarlet

I know, red! See you soon, Scrabbler.

9:36 am

lynxxx

by everyone, must go too

9:36 am

Uniquity

The cats currently at LoriP's are not cuddlers unfortunately (unless I am asleep, at which poiint Wanda will stand guard over me like nobodys business), but we have always had cats in pairs, and there has always been one who cuddled with me...Animals and I tend to get along quite well. At least one kitty always slept with me/foillowed me around

9:36 am

Scarlet

If we have any Australians on-line now: Happy Australia Day!

9:36 am

redturtlehead

Love you icon Scarlet...it should have been the theme for the day...

9:36 am

broll

Hi all. Just signed on and read he log. Red, as a longtime sinus sufferer, I can tell you the nasal lavage really works. I use the hottest water I can stand, and also put in 3 or 4 drops per cup of tea tree oil. Kills ALL the germs!

9:36 am

Uniquity

Take care Scrabbler and Lynxxx, and Happy Australia day!!

9:36 am

Scarlet

I know, red... I am not into safaris...

9:37 am

Scarlet

Bingo, broll!!

9:37 am

harpjane

I actually really enjoy Safariiing in Kenya...which I thought I would not.

9:37 am

Scarlet

Hi, harp!!

9:38 am

lilliann

hi broll and harp

9:38 am

Scarlet

A photographic safari would be amazing, red. Hi, lil!!

9:38 am

redturtlehead

So, when I am next able to actually get up, put on clothes, etc, I shall head to get the famed Neti Pot...though I am sort of hoping at that point not to need it!!!

9:38 am

lilliann

hi scar

9:38 am

redturtlehead

It ended up being more fun than I anticipated Scarlet...the hunting kind, I am not into...

9:39 am

dan2bit

redturtlehead

Yay Dan!!!

Once you see how easy it is to do, red, and the cleansing properties that you will enjoy, you will become a believer! Yahoo for dan2bit!!

9:39 am

Uniquity

Welcome Harp and way to go Dan!!

9:39 am

lilliann

we were hoping to go on a kenyan safari this christmas but because of the trouble at the moment they are not letting us book

9:39 am

redturtlehead

I guess you know, I've seen a few of these sinus irrigation used wrong....etc...

9:39 am

Scarlet

Uni... I am a staunch cat lady... with only one old girl now... but, I have nearly all my life, had cats.

9:40 am

lilliann

wtg dan!!

9:40 am

redturtlehead

Lilli, I am so upset about hte uproar...in Kenya, its such a wonderful country, you would really enjoy it, I think.

9:41 am

Uniquity

When I asked for a bunny at two, I was instead given my Katie...beautiful cat, best cuddler I have ever had. She was absolutely, 100% MY kitty and I adored her to bits. She lived to eleven, and only passed because my stepmother did not listen to my request that she remain an inside cat as she had her whole life. Too weak for the big world and was attacked. I have yet to get over it and still miss her very much.

9:41 am

Scarlet

OH, lil... you would be at such risk...

9:41 am

lilliann

i hope everything calms down soon, especially for the kenyans and would love to see kenya....a holiday of a lifetime!

9:41 am

redturtlehead

Oooh Uni....So so sorry.

9:42 am

Scarlet

That is an ache that you never completely overcome, Uni...

9:42 am

redturtlehead

Lilli, you have to go to Malindi...as well as Nakuru for the Flamingos...

9:42 am

lilliann

ahhh, sorry to hear that uni!

9:43 am

redturtlehead

Theres a fun train ride from Nairobi to Mombassa, I think...Have not been there in about 2 years now...

9:43 am

harpjane

safari is the theme?

9:43 am

Scarlet

Yes, harp.

9:43 am

harpjane

i could use my picture from the movie Hatari I guess!

9:43 am

Uniquity

I think it would be beautiful to go to Africa...anywhere, really.

9:44 am

Scarlet

But I went off-message to give a little celebration to our Aussie friends.

9:44 am

Haz1558

Someone mentioned flamingoes?

9:45 am

lilliann

we were going to do a beach and 3 day safari, red.... i think that will be enought ravelling for me!

9:45 am

redturtlehead

Africa is really wonderful...I want to go back to see South Africa, as well as a few other places...

9:45 am

lilliann

spelling awful today!!

9:45 am

Uniquity

flamingoes? What, is it somebody's fiftieth?

9:45 am

redturtlehead

Lilli, that is probably enough, I did a 3 day when on R and R, and that was plenty for me, but I'm not as nature focused as some...

9:46 am

lilliann

we were deciding between south africa and kenya red

9:46 am

redturtlehead

Hard choice, but I suppose SA is much mroe stable now...

9:47 am

Scarlet

Good morning, Haz!

9:47 am

Haz1558

Good morning Scarlet - just peeking in to say hello.

9:48 am

lilliann

we're going to leave it for a bit red and see what happens

9:48 am

redturtlehead

Hi Haz!

9:48 am

Scarlet

Is your icon a photograph that you and Mr. Haz took when you were visiting Africa, Haz?

9:48 am

lilliann

hi haz, love the flamingo pic!

9:48 am

Haz1558

Yes, scarlet - flamingoes at Lake Nakuru, as mentioned by redturtle.

9:49 am

Haz1558

From a distance the lake looked as though it was covered with candy floss.

9:49 am

redturtlehead

Gorgeous Haz, I had to represh as Spangle was showing her happy face!

9:49 am

Scarlet

It is a breath-taking shot, Haz... gorgeous in fact.

9:49 am

lilliann

how long were you on safari for haz?

9:50 am

Haz1558

We were on actual safari - under 'canvas' for three days. Long enough to see plenty - it's pretty tiring.

9:50 am

Uniquity

Oh my Gosh, I just saw spangle, but clicked your icon..that is breath-taking Haz

9:50 am

Scarlet

I have to ask: Did you wear a pith helmet, Haz?

9:51 am

Haz1558

We also had two nights at Lake Naivasha, staying in a lodge - we were taken to see animals from there as well.

9:51 am

BabbleRabble

I had a friend who went safari had to wire for more funds

9:51 am

Haz1558

Not quite, Scarlet. I'll show you.....

9:51 am

Scarlet

Good morning, BR-r!

9:51 am

lilliann

the one that we are thinking of is you stay at 3 different hotels whilst doing the safari

9:51 am

redturtlehead

Ooh, Haz I am jealous, I only had time for Amboselli...wet there because I like elephants lots...

9:51 am

BabbleRabble

9:52 am

lilliann

9:53 am

redturtlehead

Nice Haz!

9:53 am

Haz1558

And now husband has arrived home looking for computer..... and me sitting here and the shopping not put away yet!

9:53 am

lilliann

hi BR and judy

9:53 am

redturtlehead

Scarlet, I am unsure, but there is a preserve area right by the airport, and most times when I flew in, (to the main airport not wilson that it) I would see giraffes...

9:53 am

redturtlehead

There was a small park right outside of Nairobi you could go to...

9:53 am

Scarlet

Nice hat, Haz... straw... at least your face is covered... what a background!

9:54 am

redturtlehead

HI Haz's Hubby!!!

9:54 am

harpjane

are giraffes dangerous? i know that's proabably a silly question

9:54 am

Scarlet

Not that I have seen, harp... I love their black tongues...

9:55 am

redturtlehead

I have no real experience, I'd have to defer to Haz'shusband!

9:55 am

Haz1558

I know - it was winter time but still pretty hot during the day. (bear in mind we're not used to a lot of heat!) Anyway, better go and do the horror shopping putting away.

9:55 am

lilliann

there is a zoo in grance that you can give popcorn to giraffes and other animals

9:55 am

harpjane

I"d love to see Victoria Falls

9:55 am

Judi

For overhead shots of the African plains, play with Google Earth. Also, look at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida. We were able to spot giraffes and wildebeasts from satellite zoom-ins.

9:55 am

lilliann

9:55 am

Scarlet

See you soon, Haz, and thank you for sharing!

JBsAnno

9:58 am

redturtlehead

9:58 am

BabbleRabble

The grid is a typically miserly motley mix of phonemes

9:58 am

redturtlehead

If you do Hotels with nets you should be alright...

9:58 am

Judi

As did I Scarlet. It's right down there in the puddle, next to my Spanglish.

Bunny Sebastian ate some greens with some urging and then grabbed a carrot from his plate. I also massaged his belly and put a clean litter box right on the bed and told him to poop ASAP so Mama will feel better.

10:19 am

Uniquity

That link worked, thanks BabbleRabble. I have strong opinions on those sorts of situations, so I shan't comment but I always enjoy the info your provide in your profile.

10:21 am

Scarlet

It's not you, Do.

10:21 am

lilliann

When bunnies get this they need to be watched closely. He did eat some greens in the last hour when I poked them under his nose. And then he grabbed a carrot off his plate and ate that. I am glad he is eating on his own. He needs to poop!

10:45 am

Dorens

Anniebrook

I once took my cat on a city bus in a bag and the poor thing was mewing really loud and causing such a disturbance I had to get off the bus. I never did that again

11:38 am

montreal13

11:38 am

featherbee

11:38 am

Atalante

urf, yes, he is. I forgot that bit of his life!

11:38 am

Haz1558

Hasn't he directed some famous stuff? Obviously so famous I can't remember it.

11:38 am

Anniebrook

11:40 am

Scrabbler

11:40 am

montreal13

11:40 am

Haz1558

It's a wonder the Goths haven't adopted that for one of the perfumes Vicuna was sampling the other day.

11:41 am

Dorens

Scarlet

Or uterine cancer?

11:41 am

Scrabbler

12:14 pm

rururocks

co 5/14 I need for my last c?

12:14 pm

bethn

is there a difference? we were under contract too,, in engineering it is called shopping. you get a contract to work for x amount of time. when time is up you can move on or extend if they still need you. it is your choice where you want to go. not a negative term, just what engineers call it :)

12:15 pm

Please surround me in many smelly fish... I just monkied the darned ch5/14 above the eating noise... duh!

12:16 pm

We dont call it shopping, I guess because to me shopping implies that someday I might buy, and stay some place...

12:16 pm

redturtlehead

But its essentially the same thing...

12:16 pm

Scarlet

Very nicely, thank you, Luc. LOL

12:16 pm

12:17 pm

Atalante

what didthe cat think about moving so much?

12:18 pm

bethn

we call it spping because the agenciex that contract you are called "job shops" we did finally "buy" when i got prenant. i miss the travelling sometimes.

12:18 pm

redturtlehead

my dog gets wierd each time we move, but he is starting to get better at it...no cats!

12:31 pm

12:31 pm

gwenski

MLF, it sounds like a type of snake, but change the 2nd consonant

12:31 pm

MLFAN17

babble?

12:31 pm

redturtlehead

I will tell him you said he was pretty Ata. He will like it.

12:31 pm

12:32 pm

Great news! Bunny Sebastian has pooped and is acting like his perky self now! Yippee! Now I will ski in the woods, relieved about my bunny.

they are very territorial.

12:32 pm

lmao...MLF...

12:32 pm

MLFAN17

betth you arent kidding

12:32 pm

Bunnies are territorial too. Callie Bunny often pees to mark her territory.

12:32 pm

bethn

hooray scrabbler! yay for bunny poop!

12:33 pm

BabbleRabble

co 5 ---add a baby carriage: ***m

12:33 pm

I thought he looked young. He still has a lot of time to learn calmmness then ...

12:33 pm

rururocks

pr 5/12 clue please

12:33 pm

Scrabbler

I put fresh litter boxes in his room so i could see if he pooped.

12:33 pm

MLFAN17

these co clues arent getting me anywhere lol

12:34 pm

redturtlehead

I hope he does. He is 10o% lovely but jumps on everyone, and thats a bad habit, I have tried a million things to break it....nothing works...

12:34 pm

Atalante

yay Sebastian!

12:34 pm

Scrabbler

I shall return later.

12:34 pm

but otherwise, hes been good...

Have fun Scrabbler!

12:34 pm

MLFAN17

red my male cat loves to bed petted and wants attention

12:34 pm

Flask1

Gwenski...the an5 clue doesn't work!

12:34 pm

Atalante

i know that issue, red!

12:35 pm

BabbleRabble

pr 5 --- means before and often is followed by "to"

12:35 pm

redturtlehead

I'm hoping as he ages it will become less "fun" they say its a self rewarding behavior. always fun no matter what...

12:36 pm

MLFAN17

u just got the pr 5/12 wohooo

12:36 pm

Atalante

if lizsark comes on, you might want to talk to her about it. she has a young lab that is a nightmare in a lot of ways. She may know some different things to try!

12:36 pm

gwenski

Take the an5 (silly action) and add a consonant to make an6. (Sounds like the an5)

12:36 pm

redturtlehead

Go MLF Go!

12:37 pm

MLFAN17

now red if only i could get this darn co lol

12:37 pm

BabbleRabble

I think if people put in half as much time understanding other people as they do with their pets what a wonderful world it would be

12:37 pm

redturtlehead

that would be good. Teulu for the most part is a good boy...his other thing is that he barks incessantly at inatimate objects, but on that account he is improving...

12:37 pm

MLFAN17

babble nahh no fun

12:37 pm

Sorry Gwenski [thought you said vowel first time] ok got it now, thanks!

The same with Oscar - Liz's dog - though he *destroys* things as well

12:40 pm

redturtlehead

thank goodness Ata that he is not a destroyer... he chews what I give him, but nothing else!!

12:40 pm

MLFAN17

babble...what????

12:41 pm

Shirlockc

ditto with the wha?

12:41 pm

gwenski

Don't know how, but I understood the clue, BR!

12:41 pm

sassyB

ph8 sounds like learning to spell words the way they sound with a different vowel in the middle

12:42 pm

MLFAN17

gwen you must be smarter then me lol

12:42 pm

redturtlehead

I didnt...

12:42 pm

MLFAN17

shir glad we are in same boat lol

12:42 pm

bethn

red, have you ever seen the dog whisperer? when i was sleeping in rec room after shoulder surgery would have thetv on at all hours because of pain. he has a wonderful way wit all kinds of behavior issues with dogs . aggression, barking jumping etc. i know he has videos. maybe your library might get them for you (if you are home long enough to reserve or request) he was amazing to watch

12:42 pm

BabbleRabble

congrats. ypsigirl

12:43 pm

gwenski

I don't think smarter is the right word. (But I'll accept that as a compliment, regardless!)

12:43 pm

MLFAN17

GOT IT WOOHOO

12:43 pm

Shirlockc

k, figured out the ph, was good clue BR, just took a while

12:43 pm

ypsigirl

12:43 pm

sassyB

yvw, MLFAN17

12:44 pm

he sounds like my Hobbit. Just goes mad when people love her

12:44 pm

redturtlehead

Its jsut hard to have 78 pounds of wild love, yo know...

12:44 pm

MLFAN17

sassy can you clue the co6?

12:44 pm

bethn

12:45 pm

LadyNatts

12:45 pm

redturtlehead

This is true...

12:45 pm

Atalante

12:45 pm

gwenski

co6: created together

12:45 pm

MLFAN17

12:46 pm

redturtlehead

Pyrs are supposed to make very loyal pets Lady, I'll bet your is very loyal!!!

12:46 pm

MLFAN17

ty gwen great clue as well

12:46 pm

LadyNatts

so far, so good... but he's not yet 9 mos old, so still needs a lot of training

12:46 pm

MLFAN17

gwen are any of the 7and 8 co's related to it?

12:46 pm

redturtlehead

Does he jump?

12:47 pm

sassyB

sorry MLFAN17, I was away when you asked

12:47 pm

BabbleRabble

What's E.T. short for?

12:47 pm

gwenski

Not there yet, sorry MLF. (Paying too close attention to the chat, I guess.)

12:47 pm

MLFAN17

extra terrestrial

12:47 pm

BabbleRabble

So he can fit in his space ship.

12:47 pm

LadyNatts

you mean does he knock people over by trying to stand up with his paws on them? yes

12:47 pm

MLFAN17

its okay sassy

12:47 pm

bethn

if you are an animal person god gives you an blind spot when it comes to bad behavior. i would have strung my kids up if they peed on the bed or did half of the evil things our parrot has done

12:47 pm

sassyB

no, MLF, the 7's and 8's are different

12:47 pm

gwenski

ohhh - that's baaaaad, BR

12:48 pm

redturtlehead

beth, you are making me laugh now!

12:48 pm

sassyB

do you want clues for them?

12:48 pm

MLFAN17

yes please sassy

12:48 pm

Atalante

my dog isn't big enough for that, so what she does is goes round to people's backs and tries to knock them over but jumping up at the back of their knees

12:48 pm

bethn

parrots are very humorous when they are not yours :)

12:49 pm

sassyB

co 7's - think of what metal does when it gets old, and change middle vowel

12:49 pm

sassyB

co 8's past tense of the 7's

12:49 pm

gwenski

Thanks, sassy!!

12:49 pm

redturtlehead

Your dog is precious Ata, I love the way she looks out into the chat!!!

12:49 pm

MLFAN17

sassy i got the 7/36 for that

12:50 pm

MLFAN17

adn the 8/55

12:50 pm

LadyNatts

Storm is so big (and so powerful), it's a challenge to move when he wants attention. he pushes you up against a wall and pins you there

12:50 pm

bethn

she has a plan ata, and carries it out - very sophisticated thought patterns :}

12:50 pm

Atalante

Hobbit's problem really is that she's far too clever for her own good! I always wonder how she realised people tend to stagger if she gets them at the back of their knees!

12:51 pm

MLFAN17

sassy theirs another co 7 right?

12:51 pm

redturtlehead

Dogs....have plans, that they never reveal...

12:51 pm

sassyB

12:51 pm

MLFAN17

i have one co 6

12:51 pm

Atalante

she does, beth! its quite amazing. then its equally amazing when you throw her a titbit and she doesn't even notice so it bounces off her nose. so clever ... so dumb ...

12:51 pm

bethn

they are always thinking behind thier smiling faces

12:51 pm

MLFAN17

sassy 7 and 8 co no

12:52 pm

BabbleRabble

12:52 pm

bethn

12:52 pm

sassyB

The strangest thing just happened: a huge bluejay just flew dead, smack-on into the kitchen window (it didn't break, but it made a big noise) and I ran outside to see if he was all right... I touched his neck to see if he had any pulse and he righted himself in one leap, looked at me, and took a few steps... wobbled for a bit, then flew off...very odd.

1:00 pm

MLFAN17

ruru is that a 5/16?
