1:00 am

Douglas

Do people in Canada put "at all" on the ends of questions like people in Minnesota do at all?

1:00 am

the Duck

On the very rare occasion that I happen to be somewhere that a copy exists.

1:01 am

Just1Mar

1:01 am

flosey

Hi all, just in from bridge, I don't believe they do Douglas

1:01 am

dart001

1:01 am

the Duck

It certainly doesn't finish every question, but I've heard it used from time to time.

1:01 am

Just1Mar

hi flosey

1:01 am

MVA

hi flosey

1:01 am

the Duck

Assuming Canadians end every sentence with eh, is about as accurate as assuming Americans end every sentence with Y'all :P

1:02 am

Douglas

The reason I ask about Macleans is because there was an article in today's Macleans about Richard Warman

1:02 am

dart001

lol...or in newfoundland "right?"

1:02 am

the Duck

Which of course means in both cases, certain individuals would prove the fact ;)

1:02 am

the Duck

Heh... spent 3 years in Labrador myself.. mind you I was 8-10 at the time.

1:03 am

Just1Mar

No idea who that is? politician prob?

1:03 am

the Duck

I'm afraid I probably haven't picked up a copy of Macleans since the last time I was in a Medical Office waiting room :)

How quaint the ways of paradox
At common sense she gaily mocks
If reckoning in the usual way
Years twenty-one I be alive
Yet reckoning by my na5 day...
I am a little boy of five!

time to go, may be back later, have fun all!

jillibus

flosey -- great minds (our icons, lol)

1:47 am

flosey

I loved that little studebaker

1:48 am

jillibus

The Henry J was ahead of its time (cheap, too)

1:48 am

flosey

I bought this from an old boyfriend who was going home to Scotland

1:49 am

sprite

flosey, I love the text at the bottom of your profile!!! Copied it... will think of those lines often from now on.

1:49 am

flosey

tks sprite, good thoughts eh!

1:49 am

sprite

absolutely, flosey!

1:50 am

sprite

1:50 am

1:50 am

flosey

1:50 am

1:51 am

jillibus

1:51 am

flosey

didn't jilli

1:51 am

sprite

lol... her loss then, jilli! And yay for your hubby, who was smart enough to know you didn't need any changing.

1:52 am

Kazozz

night jilli , all :) poof

1:53 am

flosey

not sure about the scoring tonight jill, 2 mistakes

1:53 am

jillibus

my mother was ok -- his couldn't understand why a woman wanted to go to university, etc etc.

1:54 am

flosey

unfortunately, that was the attitude I was raised with - women didn'

1:54 am

sprite

and 'because she has a brain' was not a good enough answer?

1:54 am

flosey

why do I always click on enter when I aim at apostrophe

1:54 am

sprite

because they are too close to eachother, flosey. Happens to me often too.

1:54 am

jillibus

we noticed a couple of strange things with question marks.

1:54 am

flosey

women didn't need education - they got married and stayed home to raise family, etc

1:55 am

flosey

George caught some before the end of the game so was able to get them corrected

1:55 am

jillibus

that's it, flosey

1:56 am

flosey

my mother never worked

1:56 am

jillibus

there were some surprising outcomes at bridge, lol!

1:56 am

flosey

some pretty strange hands

1:57 am

sprite

she probably worked her ass off, but at home. And I respect her for that. But it is a shame you were not encouraged to get education until the limit you could internalise.

1:57 am

flosey

could be played both sides

1:57 am

jillibus

my father was mortified that my mother had to work when he was imprisoned -- but she didn't mind at all, and it was to help me go to university.

1:57 am

flosey

good for her Jilli

1:57 am

sprite

your parents sound like the kind of quiet heroes history is silent about, jilli.

1:58 am

jillibus

yes -- well put, sprite

1:59 am

sprite

*hugs jilli*

2:01 am

jillibus

but sprite, there are many -- the war made quiet heroes of hundreds -- thousands. Lots in the Netherlands, I know.

2:02 am

sprite

I know, jilli. My grandparents were among them. Those are the people who keep human civilisation intact through every crisis.

2:02 am

jillibus

I have one blank tile -- the middle A in the second row

2:03 am

joey

jilli, use a double consonent

2:03 am

jillibus

That generation was not self-absorbed like many nowadays

2:03 am

flosey

that might be the aa5 jilli, don't know because it could start from either

2:03 am

Just1Mar

fireworks!

2:04 am

flosey

or even the top a

2:04 am

jillibus

joey, I think that's a diff A -- the one I need is to the right of that, no double cons within reach

2:04 am

flosey

wtg Just

2:05 am

Just1Mar

thx flosey

2:05 am

sprite

too true, jilli. But I had a kid of 17 yo visit us this weekend, one we only knew through internet. And he was refreshingly 'normal'. Relaxed, but well mannered, and I was happy this generation has great people in it as well.

2:05 am

Just1Mar

2:05 am

sprite

3:33 am

lynxxx

You haven't played for a while have you Helen

3:33 am

3:33 am

sprite

found the 7, thanks melissa

3:34 am

lynxxx

Really! do you know my husband too? Ken

3:34 am

melissamay

Sure, sprite! It looks like that will be my only luck with this grid...sign.

3:34 am

melissamay

that is "sigh," rather

3:34 am

helenary

is the icon a ted may painting?

3:35 am

sprite

it is a tough one, but interesting.

3:35 am

helenary

ken???

3:35 am

melissamay

yes, like the "may you live in interesting times" sort of interesting.

3:36 am

sprite

lolol melissa... rather potent curse, that one ;)

3:36 am

melissamay

heh heh

3:36 am

lynxxx

It is Helen...it is one he did a few years ago, enetered originally in the Archibald and then in the the Moran comp. My husband is Ken

3:37 am

helenary

Oh well!!! Ted live sin North Melbourne.I have a few of his pics!!

3:38 am

helenary

Is Ken a friend of Teds? Sorry babblers for this one on one!!

3:39 am

sprite

so far I meant interesting in the sense that there aren't that many unwords, just my brain being unable to spot them because they are crooked.

3:39 am

lynxxx

Helen - yes. Ithey usually see each other at least once a week. He went up to Ballarat the other weekend for the opening of his recent exhibition

3:40 am

sprite

np helen, this is a very mild one on one ;)

3:40 am

melissamay

true, sprite. I just don't tend to do well with massive fields of vowels.

3:40 am

helenary

we might have met!!!

3:41 am

sprite

lol, me too, I had SO much trouble finding a simple ci4.

3:41 am

helenary

Ted's doing well I hear. I won't carry on like this anymore. Its silly of me.

3:41 am

melissamay

oh god, there's a ci4? I'm currently obsessing over that lonely d word. Ack.

3:42 am

pinkhatlil

very hard grid today

3:42 am

sprite

that d is a dh6

3:43 am

lynxxx

Helen - You probably have met Ken, not myself. Did you ever go to Mulcahys pub in Nth Melbourne. Ken used to co-own it and Ted and a whole group of people came from there. Ken continues to meet them regularly.

3:44 am

melissamay

Aw, the ci4 is our old Italian friend. It turns up constantly here! Thanks for the d clue, sprite.

3:44 am

sprite

yvw :)

3:45 am

lynxxx

and I never see it by myself TY Melissa

3:45 am

helenary

no, not really Lynxxx. I really was closer to him about 12 plus years ago and see him rarely now. Knew some painter friends of his but have lost touch with that scene.

3:45 am

sprite

me neither, lyn!

3:46 am

sprite

or, well, I DO spot it by myself, but only as one of the very last words.

3:46 am

melissamay

sure lynxx, no worries! I probably wouldn't have noticed it either if sprite hadn't mentioned it.

3:47 am

melissamay

Ah, and there's the dh6. Thanks, sprite!

3:48 am

sprite

my pleasure, was a tough one for me to find as well

3:49 am

sprite

oh! There is a ji that is like the ci4!

3:50 am

melissamay

Ooh, thanks sprite, that was my last j.

3:50 am

sprite

mine too. Last words are not coming easy here, lol.

3:50 am

lynxxx

Thanks Sprite!

3:50 am

3:53 am

melissamay

3:54 am

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Carlee, you are a great role model for your kids and their friends!

6:20 am

carleekat

Sarnia Muslim Association... a good friend is the head of their "share and care" team... and her husband is the head of the " association"...he is not the imam... anyway..she knows I know the food and spices etc... so she pulls my daughter and I in..we are the "token blondes"

6:20 am

Merk

6:23 am

MonkeyGames

Ooh, Carlee, we'll have to talk spices sometime. I have 103 here right now....

6:23 am

kje

thanks - didn't have that one

6:23 am

carleekat

well... to donate to charity is a pillar of faith in islam... and with all the bad media coverage in NA since 9-11 this particular group is really striving to educate westerners about islam and the people of islam...

6:23 am

featherbee

one boy's awake, i should go wake up the other, but i don't wanna, lol

Asafoetida is cool for curries. I made Nepali gurkhali chicken the other day, definitely benefits from iyt. Peppers, yes. My husband is a mutant and can eat stuff that would eat through metal. I'm trying to grow some very rare wild Nepali chilis right now.

scrabbler, a wonderful thing happened this weekend. we were organizing our filing cabinet, and I found a picture of my baby brother (six months old) during his only Christmas. He died two or three weeks later. I'd forgotten I had that picture.

6:27 am

carleekat

hubby does not like curries... but kids do... I am slowly introducing them to diff curries...

6:27 am

Becca Lorum

oops, carlee - perhaps it would be easier if i could type!

6:27 am

carleekat

spices are great fun...

6:27 am

Scrabbler

Oh, Becca Lorum--what a blessed being growing inside of you!! So sweet!

6:28 am

Scrabbler

feather--I will check your blog later--what's there, or should it surprise me?

6:28 am

kje

angel is determined to incentivize us to all become organized....

6:28 am

Becca Lorum

thanks scrabbler - it's much bigger than that now. 3 months to go nad I already look like a whale!

6:28 am

MonkeyGames

I cook a lot of Chinese, mostly Szechuan, Yunan, and Cantonese, but also lots of curries, especialy Kashmiri-type stuff. Do you have that great Omani/Iraqi spice blend with the dried rose petals? I have to make my own despite the profusion of halal groceries and shops here.

6:28 am

Scrabbler

Angel,how wonderful tofind that photo. What happenedto your brother?

6:29 am

he was born with a collapsed lung and a congenital heart defect.

6:30 am

kje

i wsih babble would let us link directly!

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Aw, poor boy. What was his name?

6:30 am

carleekat

i am not partial to the rose blends myself...if it calls for it..i take the easy route and just add the tiniest ammount of rose extract... i tend to the egyptian and lebanese... I have a neighbour who is iraqi..i leave those specialties to her...

6:30 am

Angelsong

my mother found him in his crib when she was waking us up to go to the baby sitter's. She worked nights, and my dad put him to bed the night before and he died during the night.

6:30 am

Scrabbler

Well, Carlee + MG, I am pretty good at microwaving,not so good at cooking.

6:31 am

Scrabbler

Angel, was the heart problemalready known?

6:31 am

MMMMMM, Egyptian and Lebanese!

6:32 am

carleekat

scrabs... i watched a movie once..and read the book to...like water for chocolate...something like that..was an international fim..subtitled... made in mexico

6:32 am

Scrabbler

I have a filing system, but it needs to be expanded.

6:32 am

MonkeyGames

OK, got to go make my lunchnow, and take the dog out. Who knows how long I have ! Walter's been napping shorter these days but today he has a bad cold so who can say.

6:32 am

Angelsong

yes. the doctors told my parents he was not expected to live as long as he did. That death was very hard for me. I finished the grief work only in the 1990's; he died in 1963.

6:33 am

lynxxx

bye Monkey

6:33 am

kje

I just need a filing system.... : O

6:33 am

The death of a child is very hard to deal with.

Becca Lorum

bye monkey

6:33 am

kje

how old were you angel?

6:34 am

carleekat

and... although the story took the concept to the nth degree... my belief is..u have to give a damn about what it is u r cooking..and somehow...the energy...emotion..whatever it is..is somehow translated to the food...and affects the taste..i have a neighbour who follows my recipes exactly..but she just doesn't give a crap... and it is reflected in her food

6:34 am

kje

clue for ar word off right upper corner a?

6:34 am

Angelsong

I was 8 when he died. just shy of 9.

6:34 am

TY, lynxxx

6:36 am

Angelsong

I called a good friend of mine in early 1991 or so, and asked her to go with me to find his grave. That finished the pain. It was like God just dropped that baby back into my heart, minus the pain and sorrow.

6:37 am

Scrabbler

Every child's life has a purpose no matter how short it is.

6:37 am

Angelsong

my brother's death cropped up again when my grandfather died, because my grandfather was the one who tried most to help me with my brother's death. so they got connected in my mind.

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Well, with a whopping 20 words I must hurry up and get ready for work. Bye all. ((Angel + brother))

6:38 am

kje

bye scrabb - save lots of lives!!!

Every experience of grief sparks prior ones.

Haz1558

fi5/16 - fi plus first three letters of Vaughn Williams ascending bird (or add a letter to the fi4/7)

11:41 am

72 Temple Owl

aussie, fi 6 is the family adjective

11:41 am

11:41 am

Aussieme

fi + girl's name + l

11:42 am

fi6 - relating to family, think in terms of brotherly duty.

11:42 am

72 Temple Owl

the i words are hiding

11:43 am

SharonRA

they seem to be related to bones

11:43 am

ajsb

11:45 am

ajsb

f 6 starts the same as previous fi + same ending as last fi 5

11:45 am

Haz1558

I'm no Star Wars expert! If she has, we'll change it for convenient cluing (basically take f from fi6 to get il5)

Haz1558

Yes, he was.

2:30 pm

FMitch

Oh good.

2:30 pm

Haz1558

His opinion of the grid was that whoever created it must have had a bad hair day.

2:30 pm

Haz1558

So that vindicates the rest of us. He usually claims it's a walk in the park!

2:30 pm

FMitch

LOL

2:31 pm

FMitch

We haven't had such a tight small grid for ages. I've completed thw whole of the right hand side but still gappy on the left, very strange.

2:54 pm

stidmama

2:54 pm
