My first dog was CH. Quivera's Shadow DanceMaster, aka DIsco...purebred Min. Schnauzer...I had baked a batch of choc chip cookies for work one morning and set them on the dining table to take with me, went in for my shower, and when I came out dressed for work, no cookies...made sure the doors and windows were locked then went looking...thought I had a brain lapse when I spotted Disco laying on the floor coveringthe bag...he had chewed through (cuz he couldn't undo the zip top!) and had eaten every single speck of cookie to be had...I kenneled him up, thinking if he's going to be ill, he'd do it in a contained space, and if he's gonna die, it'll be easier to carry him away to the vet...(I'm terrible, yes?) when I returned home from work, it was as if he hadn't done anything....I had him for 5 yrs before I had to put him down...contracted Valley Fever...microspore that attckes the spinal and nervous system diables horses and dogs...no cures, just expensive meds..back then anyways...

Good morning Lori - hold on to that decoder ring, it comes in useful.

Ahh, so I need not pretend I'd have gotten that on my own then. Roger that.

3:36 am

Well, Lori, some babblers would take on that challenge. But I know you're not the spoonfeeding type - so GET THINKING!

DENSA will never get to MENSA if the brain cells aren't exercised. This is called tough love, lori. Be thankful you're not a child of mine. Slappings and gruel were my girls' staple diet.
3:39 am
hurshy

castor oil too, i suppose
3:39 am
loredana

cod liver oil i would assume Haz
3:39 am
LoriP

Yes ma'am.
3:39 am
Haz1558

Castor oil was too good for them. We used the drained engine oil. We were green before everyone else with this recycling lark.
3:40 am
Haz1558

Speaking of DENSA - have you found a suitable cap yet, Lori?
3:41 am
LoriP

Not yet haz, one can't hurry these things.

haz? rumours? not about *gasp* lickety?
3:56 am
Haz1558

You've heard another rumour about Lickety? I've heard he's being held at Her Majesty's pleasure but some people didn't believe me.
3:56 am
Atalante

wouldn't surprise me. dodgy, that guy is
3:57 am
LoriP

G'd morning Ata Hari. I though Lickety had ben taken by aliens.
3:57 am
Atalante

ooo! maybe! or maybe he was the guy eaten by a croc the other day
3:58 am
Haz1558

Could he be going undercover as a Rolf Harris impersonator?
3:59 am
Atalante

hmmm ... is he good at singing waltzing matilda?
3:59 am
Haz1558

No, but then neither is Rolf Harris.
4:00 am
Haz1558

Lori - you maybe don't know who Rolf Harris is? Australian, came to Britain, made a fortune out of painting pictures while wearing three legs and playing a didgeridoo.
4:01 am
Haz1558

He blended into Britain seamlessly.
4:01 am
Atalante

three legs? did I miss that?
4:02 am
LoriP

I can see why. So, I can give up on that dream, since he's beaten me to it.
4:02 am
Haz1558

Keep up Ata - I'm Jake the Peg with my extra leg. Number 1 for more weeks than I care to remember.
4:02 am
loredana

Haz only when he was Jake did he have three legs Rolf is from Bassendean here in Western Australia
4:02 am
Atalante

before I was born, maybe?
4:02 am
Andree

i'm jake the peg diddle diddle dum with and extra leg etc
4:02 am
loredana

for sure Ata
4:02 am
Andree

hi i'm back again
4:03 am
Haz1558

I knew I'd flush out the Australians.
4:03 am
loredana

just making sure you were perfectly correct which you were as usual Haz lol
4:03 am
loredana

come on be fair make it a kiwi next time
4:03 am
Atalante

I can't be responsible for not knowing things that occurred before I was born
4:03 am
Andree

you certainly did that haz
4:03 am
Haz1558

I'd never attack Dame Kiri!
4:04 am
loredana

had us all singing along
4:04 am
Haz1558

You can't say that, Atalante - the study of history would kind of be negated by that attitude.
4:04 am
loredana

theres always Russel Crowe or Sam Neil to start with
4:05 am
Haz1558

Just for the record, I quite like Rolf Harris - not the greatest singer in the world but he was entertaining.
4:05 am
Atalante

at least I know some Beatles songs
4:05 am
Atalante

awww not Sam Neill! *loves Sam*
4:06 am
loredana

Dont have to be negative can be positive Ata
4:06 am
Atalante

he has a vineyard
4:07 am
loredana

Or Rob Guest he just died actually very nice guy he was in the Phantom of the Opera here at home he was a singer of less status
4:07 am
loredana

he sure does and hes a very nice man Ata
4:07 am
Haz1558

Smaller than Rolf Harris or not a good singer?
4:07 am
loredana

I would rather talk about Jeremy Irons though
4:08 am
Haz1558

Oh status - I read singer of less stature. I was picturing a vertically challenged Pavarotti.
4:08 am
loredana

He was a pop singer in NZ
4:08 am
Atalante

he always looks like a very nice man. does he sell his wine commercially?
4:08 am
Andree

can we talk about colin firth instead lore
4:08 am
loredana

Didnt Rolf get knighted for painting the queen?
4:08 am
Atalante

who? Jeremy Irons? a pop singer? :P
4:09 am
Haz1558

Colin Firth? From New Zealand?
4:09 am
loredana

Yes he does Ata his wineyard is in the South Is cant remember exactly where might be Mekenzie country
4:09 am
Andree

he painted the queen, not sure thats why he was knighted
4:09 am
loredana

No Rob Guest
4:09 am
Haz1558

I don't know that he got knighted for painting the Queen - if anything it would have been for services to entertainment or charity work.
4:10 am
Atalante

mmmm I want Sam Neill wine
4:10 am
Andree

as in mr darcy, that colin firth
4:10 am
loredana

of course Haz
4:11 am
loredana

Colin Firth hes from Hampshire not NZ
4:11 am
Haz1558

Rolf Harris has not been knighted, he has been given a CBE.
4:11 am
Haz1558

He already had an MBE and an OBE.
4:12 am
loredana

Ata did yo know that Sam was actually born in Northern Ireland?
4:13 am
Atalante

oo!
4:14 am
Andree

lore i did not mean he was from NZ i just love him and not into jeremy irons
4:14 am
Haz1558

I didn't know that! Apparently born Omagh, Co Tyrone in 1947, parents returned to NZ in 1954. I wonder if he can still do a Northern Ireland accent? Most actors are rubbish at it.
4:16 am
loredana

you love colin firth okay you can have him no i prefer jeremy irons
4:16 am
loredana

Is that far from you Haz
4:17 am
Haz1558

It's about 2 counties away - maybe an hour and a half drive
4:18 am
Andree

at least we aren't fighting over the same bloke otherwise it could turn ugly
4:18 am
Haz1558

<----------- I've made my choice.
4:19 am
loredana

plenty to go around hey andree
4:21 am
Atalante

ha! husband just tried to tell me that Hobbit is as much his dog as mine. As if!
4:21 am
Andree

nice choice haz but you can keep him
4:21 am
Andree

men have no idea do they ata
4:22 am
Haz1558

Just humour him, Atalante - you do want him to take Hobbit for a walk, don't you?
4:22 am
Atalante

absolutely none!
4:22 am
loredana

really Ata some people ...... I dont know what because he just walked her! lol
4:22 am
Atalante

we all know the truth LOL. silly man!
4:25 am
loredana

4:26 am
Andree

bye lore
4:26 am
Haz1558

di7 - the opposite of as6 - to agree
4:26 am
Haz1558

Wait - that may not be right - I'm not using a list.
4:27 am
Haz1558

As if that's news! Something to do with Lickety having been captured by aliens, isn't it?
4:27 am
loredana

di 7/32 di+plural+ra4/4
4:27 am
LoriP

***No, taken by dingoes.***
4:27 am
lynxxx

I think it is di* & ****s and taxes
4:28 am
LoriP

Any 7's or bigger from that w? If anyone knows please.
4:28 am
Atalante

pr9, pr9, di9
4:28 am
Haz1558

Told you I was wrong!
4:29 am
LoriP

ahh, that's good info Ata, thanks!
4:29 am
Haz1558

Could he have been bowled over by a kangaroo? Or could he have taken flight with emus. Oh wait.... do they fly?
4:29 am
Andree

thx lynxxx and lore
4:29 am
Atalante

was he stolen by a dingo?
4:30 am
Andree

biggest w i have is a 5
4:30 am
Haz1558

lynxxx - I'm reading over the early morning chat log. The calling is getting to fever pitch, isn't it? I don't think they understand...
4:30 am
Haz1558

Maybe he stole a dingo and that's why he's in prison.
4:30 am
Andree

no they are flightless birds
4:30 am
Haz1558

wi6 - superlative adjective.
4:31 am
lynxxx

just after the flip Haz? a tad annoying
4:31 am
Haz1558

So h'es not flown off with emus. We can cross that off the list of possibilities.
4:31 am
Atalante

the people who amuse me are those who were told yesterday that lickety is away and then come in today going "OMG! no Lickety!"
4:31 am
LoriP

Have that one Haz, just missing 1. Thanks anyway, skipping past the w....
4:31 am
Haz1558

It's crazy, lynxxx. I'm glad you spoke up but whether it will make any difference is debatable. Some seem to think that it's required to report every word they find.
4:32 am
Andree

seems thet what is given freely is not appreciated
4:32 am
LoriP

Must read chat when i take a break.....
4:32 am
Atalante

it's appreciated, but now expected
4:32 am
LoriP

You mean he's not back yet Ata?
4:32 am
Atalante

omg! *panic*
4:33 am
Andree

that was funny lynxx and good you said something, not that it stopped
4:33 am
Haz1558

The whole character of the flip has changed completely - not that I'm around at that time, but I usually look back to see what's been happening.
4:34 am
lynxxx

too silly for me which is why I wandered off - great have the biggies called but ...
4:35 am
Atalante

MLF calls out every word she finds normally :P
4:35 am
Haz1558

It's turning into a two horse race of unequal weights. Most of those who used to contribute I visualise as standing aghast.
4:36 am
Andree

its infuriating and thank goodness i am seldom at flip
4:36 am
Atalante

I still find it amazing that she can find so many big words immediately, but has to ask for every 4 letter word later
4:37 am
Haz1558

That puzzles me as well. And if she can use morewords for the big words, why not for the smaller ones?
4:37 am
Atalante

one of life's mysteries. like lickety's whereabouts
4:37 am
LoriP

I thought flip ettiquette was only calling out big words. I stayed awake for a flip once. That's 2 am here
4:37 am
Haz1558

Yes. Are you sure he's away and this isn't just a big practical joke?
4:38 am
Andree

i think he is probably sick of us and has gone for a lobotomy
4:38 am
LoriP

Alien dingoes. Focus people, focus.
4:38 am
Haz1558

That's the thing about babble etiquette. It's not written down anywhere and it just tended to be absorbed and understood. The new influx has not understood.
4:39 am
Andree

or a sex change
4:39 am
lynxxx

lol Atal, I know that look. Sometimes I feel a soft wetness on my nose when I am asleep and when I start & wake I see a similar face an inch away
4:39 am
Haz1558

Alien dingoes. I love it.
4:39 am
Haz1558

The alien dingoes are giving Lickety a sex change?
4:39 am
Atalante

awwwwww :D isn't it wonderful!
4:40 am
Andree

i think you might have hit the nail on the head haz
4:40 am
Haz1558

Is Skippy going to be able to rescue him?
4:40 am
Atalante

yes, I often wake up to that face
4:41 am
Haz1558

So, is that the official story then? Or can we come up with something unlikely?
4:41 am
lynxxx

sigh ... we're never going to able to live down Skippy
4:41 am
LoriP

Well, we've already ruled out holiday.
4:42 am
Haz1558

Live down Skippy? What's to live down? Wasn't he responsible for launching Kylie Minogue?
4:42 am
Andree

with the grand finals tomorrow maybe he is the eagles secret weapon
4:42 am
Atalante

and Jason Donovan?
4:42 am
Atalante

holiday? too obvious
4:43 am
Haz1558

I don't know if Jason Donovan was on Skippy, was he?
4:43 am
LoriP

Just pointing out the obvious. Reality is never that straight forward.
4:43 am
Atalante

oh probably
4:43 am
Andree

don't think so
4:43 am
Haz1558

I take it the Eagles are a sports team and not the group?
4:44 am
Andree

rugby league grand final tomorrow between the manly sea eagles and melbourne storms
4:45 am
Haz1558

I like the sound of the Manly Sea Eagles. They sound... manly. And tough.
4:45 am
Andree

or maybe that was a good reason to leave town
4:45 am
Andree

go manly
4:45 am
LoriP

Are they bald too?
4:46 am
Andree

no way
4:46 am
Haz1558

Is LIckety bald? Maybe he's getting hair extensions or a hair transplant done.
4:46 am
Andree

i suppose lynxxx would say go melbourne
4:47 am
Andree

no he his tall and good looking so is mrp
4:47 am

4:48 am
Haz1558

Tall, good looking and missing in action. Poor Lickety. I hope those alien dingoes go gently with him.
4:48 am
Andree

good then you won't mind when manly win
4:48 am
lynxxx

Go for it Andree
4:49 am
LoriP

What are the odds of Lickety's abduction like that, especially since he lives nowhere near a trailer park.
4:49 am
Andree

my sons and 3 oldest grandchildren are all in manly jumpers and their cars flying flags etc too funny
4:50 am
Haz1558

I know. It seems unlikely, doesn't it, but then he was maybe en route to the suppose holiday, got too close to the trailer park and voila! In swooped the alien dingoes.
4:50 am
lynxxx

I love the way Lori is rationalising all this
4:50 am
lynxxx

Posters stuck to the windows and flags on the verandah
4:51 am

Reading the National Enquirer in my youth has really paid off.
4:51 am

Well now. I hate to say it but I'd better shift myself and get something else done. Treat of the week is ahead of me. Grocery shopping.
4:54 am
Atalante

4:55 am
Atalante

or do you have somewhere else that isn't tesco?
4:55 am
LoriP

ha ha ha ha shopping! Yuk. Have fun Haz.
4:55 am

Scrabbler

Hello all, and Elder, I agree with you. From what I observe in my office I fear for the future of our world. So many kids are not being taught the life skills they need--too many wimpy parents.
6:08 am

Sprite. Quite.:)
6:08 am

G'd morning Scrabbler.
6:09 am
herinfernallady

What. Never hurt me
6:09 am
Scrabbler

Yes, Sprite, and I praise those parents tremendously for being repsonsible. But there are so many kids that I want to adopt.
6:09 am
Scrabbler

Sprite--are you and your family recovering from the evil virus?
6:10 am
sprite

too true, Scrabbler. We have had friends of our kids staying over who couldn't do the most basic things.
6:10 am
herinfernallady

I worked with a 20 year old that didn't know how to make a clothes washer work
6:10 am
Atalante

it's more than the parents issues though. it's wanting to learn and be independent and capable
6:11 am
sprite

slowly, Scrabbler. I feel much better but still tired, Caya is still very tired and has caught a cold now.
6:11 am
herinfernallady

Oh Sprite the poor love
6:11 am
Scrabbler

I saw a 1 mo old on Thursday, Mom's 3rd kid and her response to my question, Do you have any concerns about the baby?, was: He is not independent at all, I have to hold him all of the time or else he will cry for an hour when I put him in his crib.
6:11 am
sprite

yup, she has the raccoon look back again, and I don't like it.
6:12 am

hi inge

6:13 am
elder

My children were not angalss by any means of the imagination, but by the time they were adolescents, they could cook, and do laundry, I was so adamant that my son would not expect a woman/ partner to do his chores.
6:13 am
Scrabbler

I was speechless and wanted to smack her. But I was calm and reminded her that babies and children are completely dependent on us--what a concept.
6:13 am
inge

OK, I can wait
6:14 am
sprite

and then her 3rd child. She should know better by now. You did well, SCrabbler. Lots of self control :)
6:14 am

Good way to go Elder. Scrabbler i would be so concerned about that baby

6:14 am

great things to teach children, elder
6:15 am
Scrabbler

I am concerned, and, get this, the baby's father was in the waiting room asleep! Mom didn't even expect/want him in the room.
6:15 am
inge

Did you contribute to his death by wearing him out in class?
6:15 am
elder

Scrabbs I have heard that told to me so many times, and when they a bit older stick them in front of theTV/ Video too keep them quiet. it is a recipe for disaster.
6:15 am
herinfernallady

sigh
6:15 am
sprite

my son is 12, he can cook quite a few things, he can (but usually doesn't) clean up after himself, he can do the laundry, he can do some chores in the house. And he still looks healthy and happy.

6:17 am

Nope, Inge. We were good students--several of us went through German level V with him. He was a cheerful character. In 12th grade he took us on a tour of Buffalo architectural gems and to lunch at a fancy restaurant.

Hi chickie--so you are the former hodag?

am sorry for your loss, Scrabbler
6:18 am
elder

Sadly, it is a common thread that I see and hear often. I do not look for perfection because that is not possible but the basic care, love and attention is so desperately needed for so many children. The word contraception comes to mind.

Yes, Elder!

thanx scrabs. the dr's told her she has anything between 9 months ( without chemo ) and 4-5 years with chemo. as she has two adorable girls ages 10 and 12, she has taken the hard choice of having the chemo.
6:45 am
Scrabbler

That is what she must do--her girls need her!!
6:47 am
grannyrose

i know scrabs, but she can be very wilful at times, she refused her second course of chemo 8 years ago, it broke my heart when she did. her initial diagnosis was stage 4 cancer, and i know you can't just walk away from that!
6:47 am
Scrabbler

My friend with brain cancer is struggling---is so debilitated from chemo that she must stop chemo and get rehab for 4-6 wks in the hospital. She is distraught and wants to be with her kids (8, 4, almost 1). It is heartwrenching.
6:48 am

I am doing whatever I can to help, but I feel so helpless to comfort her. How do you help someone face their death when they also have to say good-bye to their husband and 3 little kids? It is unbearably sad.
6:52 am
sprite

your being there for them is the best comfort you can offer, I think, Scrabber.
6:52 am
Scrabbler

And I don't want to say good-bye to her either--she is a sweet, loving person and incredible mother to her kids.
6:54 am

Geez, we are bringing everyone down, Granny.
6:55 am

it is a sad thing, Scrabbler, but good to share it, right?
6:55 am
grannyrose

i agree with sprite, scrabs. back up her family as much as you can, in any way you can, me, i've organised a roster, so that my friend and her family have a home-cooked meal everynight.this means her hubby doesn't have to think about meals, and other parents form the school have organised the girls' lunches.

It's flowed pretty well so far BR, loosely speaking, we'll see how this goes....
9:22 am

what a shame, but alot of the servicemen were like that...i suppose they wanted to forget about alot of things
9:22 am

Except for the a, that's been painful.
9:22 am

I think you're right . . .
9:22 am

Hey Haz, are you done yet? Hope ya' enjoyed shopping. heh heh heh
9:23 am

talking often brings flashbacks of comrades injured or lost
9:23 am
Haz1558

Oh I loved every minute of it. Especially putting it away. It's the best. Still it's done, though the grid isn't.
9:24 am
Uneaixoise

I know, BR . . . for instance, I had a Jewish friend when I was living in France whose mother was in a concentration camp as a teenager . . . she never would say a word about her experiences
9:24 am
LoriP

Yes, more fun that beating clothes on a rock when the washer breaks.
9:24 am
lilliann

i worked with old sailors years ago and some of them spoke about the war but others didn't like to...some very funny stories and some extremely sad ones, makes me humble and very thankful to think of what men a nd women did for us in the wars so we have the life to day

For those who are willing to speak of their experiences, there are a series of books entitled 'Forgotten voices' - I've read Forgotten Voices of First World War and more recently 'Forgotten voices of the Holocaust'.

Haz, StoryCorps was here at our downtown library for a year and they were able to record many stories for the Library of Congress
9:26 am
Atalante

my grandfather was in Germany during WW2, and he never spoke of it - until he was dying, when he would speak in German completely subconsciously. Shows how deeply ingrained the memories still were
9:26 am
Uneaixoise

ata, that's amazing
9:26 am
BabbleRabble

some of the poetry from the wars is so compelling
9:27 am

9:27 am
Boobear

are there any un clues?
9:27 am
Haz1558

I think it's wonderful that some are willing and able to share their stories, but I understand those for whom the only option is to try not to think of their experiences.
9:27 am
Uneaixoise

BR, I can only imagine . . .
9:27 am

babrab was that a clue for me??

I know, Babble - but did they realise that they were taking part in history? I don't think you would have time to think beyond what you have to do to survive.
9:33 am

hmmm, not available from our huge downtown library . . . and only a couple of titles available from Amazon (USA) . . .

a female soldier deployed to iraq has a greater chance of being assaulted by a fellow soldier than killed by enemy fire and more terrible is often redeployed with the same soldier that assaulted her

i wouldn't yellat anybody about having their opinion but i suppose the women want to be treated like the men so do all the jobs they do
9:40 am
Haz1558

That's interesting, Une. I nearly felt guilty for not being more emotional when visiting Auschwitz - perhaps it has to do with the place being changed. It just seemed and seems unimaginable that such horror could exist.
9:41 am
BabbleRabble

160,000 women have been deployed ..... the stress of war is compounded by the threat of assault ... some take weapons with them to shower
9:41 am

Do they get ramps bult or do they just concentrate on buildings that have been made disabled friendly.
2:05 pm
Book Doctor Gwen

daleks are only funny from the POV that they must look silly on the set when they're making the show. (one director in the early days reportedly aggreed to work on the show as long as he did not ever have to direct those popperpots!)
2:05 pm
mkg

2:18 pm
Haz1558

Two of the te words mirror the structure of the se5 and 6 (think future and conditional endings in French)
2:18 pm
FMitch

It's messy stormy stuff kje, spatters of rain and strong gusts and cold.
2:18 pm

Bye pug.
2:20 pm
Haz1558

The rest of the te words are variations on a theme of seabirds or variations on a theme of speaking in clipped fashion.
2:20 pm
FMitch

2:20 pm

2:28 pm
Haz1558

Oh well, I knew superlatively intelligent Ata would know it. And lynxxx. But I'll bet there are some people who didn't know. LIke there are some people who don't know about Lickety and the open prison.

2:40 pm
Haz1558

Pity it's not Who wants to be a Millionaire - we could be her phone a friend and we could flood the audience and cough at certain times.
2:40 pm
Haz1558

Should I shock Ata with what I paid for the hotel?
2:40 pm
FMitch

LOL, oh that reminds me a bought a lottery tichet today
