1:27 am

Rlee

it is something most people this is revolting, but we get it fed to us from as early as teething age so we are sort of used to it. it has a unique taste that can't be described

pugmama763

this is a poopy grid

2:28 am

sprite

ohoh, infected by Lori, pug? :)

2:28 am

sprite

hi jilli! Lovely landscape you have.

2:29 am

pugmama763

not a bit I could have used a "choicer" word

2:29 am

sprite

hehehe, Andree, for once you run with the theme :)

2:29 am

sprite

lol pug... I know you could :) You are a marvel of self control, you know that.

2:29 am

jillibus

it's officially considered one of the Most Beautiful Bays of the World!

2:30 am

jillibus

sprite, I love your woods -- you'd like ours too although they're rather more substantial

2:30 am

pugmama763

ty but I know there are many who would disagree with that assesment!

2:30 am

sprite

I have a bit of good news: got out of bed with less pain and more energy this morning, even managed a shower, and am still feeling better than in 2 months :)

2:30 am

sprite

because they cannot imagine how you would be without it, pug

2:30 am

jillibus

oh great, sprite!

2:31 am

pugmama763

yeah spritey!

2:31 am

Andree

sprite i have no idea how to change my icon, my son put this one in for me when i joined and there it stays, they had bridges once so i have been with the theme before

2:31 am

sprite

oh jilli, I know I would love them! As long as there are places where the light can come through, I love all woods.

2:31 am

Andree

but i really appreciate the effort all you clever people put into changing each day

2:32 am

sprite

I love your icon, Andree.

2:33 am

jillibus

not clever, andree -- it's easy

2:33 am

Andree

oh dear sprite , now we know where the od** comes from 2 months is a long time between showers, lol

2:33 am

sandyloo

andree i was in the same boat as you now i am an icon junky

2:34 am

jillibus

lol, andree! Rude!!!

2:34 am

sprite

lol Andree, well, I managed the occasional washing. But I cannot express the delight of having showered again :) Forgive me for the insult on your noses, grin.

2:34 am

pugmama763

rude indeed!

2:34 am

Andree

i must get one of my kids to show me how, or my grandkids, it seems any 10 year old knows more about computers than i do

2:35 am

sprite

it is easy, once you know how, but only do it if you want to. The icon themes are in no way a must, only another way to have fun and learn things.

2:36 am

Andree

so glad you are feeling better sprite

2:36 am

sandyloo

go to "my account" then "edit" your little picture and then "search google images" then type in something like "landscapes" and so on

2:36 am

sprite

I hardly ever did them until Babs needed more time freed up. And then jilli convinced me it was worth the trouble, lol.

2:36 am

sprite

me too, Andree :)

2:37 am

jillibus

andree, your icon is beautiful

2:37 am

sprite

sandy, yours is beautiful too!

2:37 am

pugmama763

2:37 am

sandyloo

Andree of course your icon is really lovely and fits today's anyway

2:37 am

Andree

yes it is jilli but i would like to change it now and again

2:38 am

Andree

thx sandy, will try

2:38 am

sandyloo

I couldn't update my profile tho Sprite- don't know whats going on - maybe tomorrow

2:38 am

sprite

2:39 am

sprite

not even with control F5, sandy?

2:39 am

Andree

pug the one i have is a normal word badly selt and i haven't found the other yet

2:39 am

pugmama763

ok ty will keep monkeying away

2:39 am

sandyloo

2:39 am

Andree

2:41 am

3:17 am

LoriP

Haz musta' tiptoed in... G'd mornign Haz!

3:17 am

Hobbit is fine! Yesterday appeared to be Spaniel Evening at the vets. There was Hobbit, a lemon cocker, a black and white english springer, and a very very lovely but very ill welsh springer

3:18 am

Haz1558

I did say hello, Lori!

3:18 am

Haz1558

Oh no! Poor Welshie!

3:18 am

pugmama763

hi haz ! missed your entrance

3:18 am

sprite

ill is nasty, but spaniel gettogether sounds good :)

3:18 am

Atalante

I know :( She either had *very* bad kennel cough or some other very nasty respiratory infection

3:19 am

sprite

poor thing

3:19 am

Haz1558

Hopefully there'll be another triumph of veterinary medicine!

3:19 am

Atalante

she was flopping around, coughing and wheezing, poor baby. she was sooo lovely though

3:19 am

Haz1558

They are pretty, aren't they?

3:20 am

Atalante

hopefully. it sounded like a good course of antibios would do her good

3:20 am

Haz1558

But nothing untoward for Hobbit? Did she stand nicely for the 'examination'?

3:20 am

Atalante

awfully! I don't think I've ever actually met one before. Seen pics of them, obviously! And seen them from afar

3:20 am

sprite

brb

3:20 am

lizmac

That's better. My current favourite landscape.

3:21 am

Atalante

yes, she was an angel. was good I took her in though, glands were horribly blocked

3:21 am

Haz1558

The od4 is like no other.

3:21 am

pugmama763

finall monkeyed that stupid PS5 thank god

3:21 am

Atalante

3:22 am

pugmama763

bye andree

3:22 am

Haz1558

Bye Andree.

3:23 am

Atalante

I don't know! But you did! He is quite quite lovely, and Hobbit loves him. She's seen him 2 or 3 times for the PP now, and she's much better with him than anyone else. You obviously send them out well trained in spanielness!

3:23 am

lizmac

I'm just back from the land of handsome men...what a feast for the eyes.

3:23 am

lizmac

The scenery was nice too!

3:23 am

Haz1558

A land where the men are more handsome than here? Where can this Shangri-la be?

3:24 am

Haz1558

Well, I'm glad that Hobbit is more comfortable now. What are we going to have to do for you?

3:24 am

lizmac

Sicily. I'm still reeling.

3:25 am

Haz1558

So you've seen the volcano? Or were you too busy gazing at the decorative men?

3:25 am

Atalante

I have tea and cookies :) I finally decided that cookies might prove eatable when nothing else is!

3:25 am

lizmac

Volcano? There was a volcano?

3:25 am

loredana

hi Haz

3:25 am

loredana

hi Ata and Hobbit

3:25 am

Haz1558

So they really were that decorative...

3:26 am

Haz1558

Hello loredana.

3:26 am

loredana

hi there Liz and goodnight andree

3:26 am

Atalante

one of my exes was Sicilian. he really was decorative too

3:27 am

Atalante

dear me, Hobbit is having a mad 5 minutes. being all whirly and twisty and bouncing between rooms like a pogo dog

3:27 am

lizmac

Seriously, our patio overlooked the Bay of Naxos and Etna (icon is the view from it). Etna was a bit fizzy when we were there, so added to the entertainment.

3:28 am

Haz1558

It looks lovely - what was your weather like, liz?

3:28 am

pugmama763

are the DE7-8 pair "normal" words ? or am I just being dense?

3:29 am

sprite

3:29 am

lizmac

3:42 am

sprite

wtg bfsog@

3:42 am

loredana

well done bfsog

3:42 am

bfsog

do the fireworks ever get changed, such as to a festive theme around chrimbo

3:43 am

Haz1558

Good grief, bf. It took years to get Dr-G to give us this much.

3:43 am

sprite

no, never, bfsog. THe only change we had was the lickety fireworks, but they haven't been updated in ages.

3:43 am

Atalante

there, I have a prettty view now. Just for Lore, another pic of Greenland, flying between camp and the local army base

3:44 am

sprite

beautiful, Ata, both view and pic!

3:44 am

Atalante

that picture was used in National Geographic *smug*

3:45 am

sprite

deservedly so, Smugalante!

3:45 am

loredana

Oh Thanks Ata makes me feel cooler already will go there one day suppose you already been Ata?

3:46 am

Atalante

yep, spent 3 months huddling in a tent half way up the east side

3:46 am

sprite

small wonder you are feeling ill :P

3:46 am

loredana

oh yay Ata you have the best life !

3:47 am

Atalante

it was a good few years ago!

3:47 am

sprite

quite an impact those things can have

3:48 am

Haz1558

Ata, you know the way I scan the magazines on the shelf? There was the funniest headline the other day, not relating to anybody famous, though. 'The day I lost my fallopian tubes'. Did she leave them behind on the bus, do you think?

3:49 am

LoriP

I hate when that happens.

3:50 am

Haz1558

Is the bus company lost property office not very good?

3:50 am

sprite

she must have left them with her marbles

3:50 am

Haz1558

That would have come under 'My mental torment'

3:51 am

Atalante

now for Haz I've changed to my favourite photo I've ever taken!

3:51 am

LoriP

People on the bus are shy about those things too. They don't like to say "Ma'am, pardon me, is that your ovary?"

3:51 am

Atalante

loooool. wow. hard things to lose, one would think!

3:52 am

Haz1558

Ooooh!

3:52 am

Haz1558

A sea dog!

3:52 am

sprite

oh my, delightful pic!

3:52 am

Atalante

yep!

3:52 am

Haz1558

I know, Lori, and so embarrasing if people pick up marble and start asking about glass eyes.

3:52 am

Atalante

was on one of the boats going between the Scilly Isles. I've always loved that pic

3:52 am

sprite

funny, isn't it, Lori.

3:53 am

sprite

it is brilliantly taken, Ata. Perfect timing.

3:53 am

Haz1558

The dog looks like a member of the crew, on the look out for anything untoward.

3:54 am

Atalante

I think she was the captain's dog, if I remember rightly

3:54 am

Haz1558

Then she probably WAS a member of the crew.

3:55 am

Atalante

she certainly looked very at home

3:55 am

Atalante

I'd lvoe to take Hobbit on a boat. Until she jumped overboard after a gannet or something

3:55 am

sprite

that is slightly less perfect

3:56 am

Haz1558

Ata, did your lights turn out okay?

3:56 am

LoriP

Down to 22 on the first sweep, and may i just say, the d on the right side, is defective.

3:56 am

Atalante

he's still here *sigh*

3:57 am

loredana

well done LoriP

3:57 am

Atalante

why do electricians etc always turn up when you just want to spend the day dying quietly in bed!

3:57 am

sprite

nice going, Lori

3:57 am

Haz1558

Oh well. It'll be great when it's finished - you have to keep telling yourself this.

3:57 am

Haz1558

It's the law of England, Ata. They are contractually bound by it.

3:58 am

Atalante

luckily he's rather decorative, so it's not as bad as it could be

3:58 am

Haz1558

There you are. Every cloud has a silver lining.

3:58 am

Atalante

this is the second grid recently where deodar has been a phantom

3:59 am

sprite

that is evil. Tasty lad while you are in no mood for games.

3:59 am

LoriP

Oooooh, so, so, so close to my fave word deodar.... :D

3:59 am

Haz1558

de6/24 you mean, of blessed and immortal memory?

4:00 am

LoriP

Chat lag aside, was this a simultaneous mental bonding moment?

4:00 am

Haz1558

Why am I starting to shake. What do these hives mean?

4:00 am

sprite

looks like it, lol

4:00 am

Haz1558

(I'm hearing X files music, Lori)

4:00 am

Atalante

I can't remember what deodar means, but I'll always remember it!

4:00 am

Atalante

oooo!

4:00 am

LoriP

We've all gone insane at the same time....

4:01 am

sprite

insanity shared is insanity doubled?

4:01 am

LoriP

Honestly, I have 5 words from that d. I protest!

4:01 am

Haz1558

It was the same when I was trying to clue that de6/24. Mass insanity.

4:02 am

Atalante

insanity shared is insanity squared

4:02 am

LoriP

Center d grey, right d now cancelled due to lack of interest

4:02 am

Atalante

oh yes. that horrid word.

4:02 am

LoriP

Good thing it's not a word today, because it's impossible to clue.

4:03 am

Haz1558

Has your interest begun to dr5/14 in that d?

4:03 am

redturtlehead

Good Morning...another lovely grid o vowels.

4:03 am

Atalante

We can just say "Lori's favourite word"

4:03 am

Haz1558

It's not impossible to clue, it's just that you're depending on people to have an ounce of wit in solving it.

4:03 am

LoriP

G'd morning red

4:03 am

Atalante

true

4:03 am

loredana

hi there Red

I mean, who doesn't know who the Camelot king is? How hard is it to imagine a backwards de4/5?

4:04 am

Atalante

very

4:04 am

LoriP

Anything bigger than a 6 among these devious d's?

4:04 am

Atalante

de7/8

4:05 am

LoriP

Ahhh, there's my problem! Muchos grassy ass.

4:05 am

Atalante

harder than we could possibly imagine. apparently

4:06 am

Haz1558

Well, time I was doing other things, so I'll say farewell. Back later!

4:07 am

Atalante

*hugs haz and la glitterata*

4:07 am

Atalante

7:48 am

EvaNadine

any people with medical (specifically dermatological) knowledge in the house?

7:48 am

MonkeyGames

Layman,s but reasonably extensive... what's up?

7:48 am

elder

hello Monkey, Flosey, Claire Bzz and anyone else who arrived whilst I was missing.

7:49 am

MonkeyGames

Hi!

7:49 am

BzznBea

I've been to a dermatologist. Does that count? =)

7:49 am

EvaNadine

in the last 2 years or so, i seem to have developed these really dry spots of skin on my legs that come and go (especially prevalent in the winter, when its extra dry)
i have some on my legs now + theyre SUPER itchy...
ive tried moisturizing, but its not getting rid of them...
any suggestions?

7:49 am

sandyloo

bzz , I used to work for a dermatologist

7:49 am

clairebear872

hey

7:50 am

MonkeyGames

Cetamacrogol. Try that for a while, a month or more.

7:50 am

EvaNadine

is that OTC? do they sell that here?

7:50 am

MonkeyGames

It's an over-the-counter cream that replaces the skin's natural oils. Sold worldwide as far as I know. Derived from sheep wool oils.

7:50 am

BzznBea

Try something wit a steroid in it, Eva.

7:51 am

sandyloo

all good suggestions but take care with steroid creams and apply thinly

7:51 am

MonkeyGames

If that doesn't work try sudocrem, but that just sits there getting wiped onto everything around you forever so I'd try it as a second resort.

7:51 am

MonkeyGames

No steroids in my two suggestions.

7:52 am

sandyloo

probably solar keratoses

7:52 am

MonkeyGames

Is the X used at all that anyone knows of?

7:53 am

EvaNadine

precancerous? these legs rarely ever see the light of day...

7:53 am

sandyloo

in two ex words ex 6/36 and ex 6/36

7:53 am

MonkeyGames

Thank you!

7:54 am

BzznBea

Almost half way. Need to get some bread started. TA. *poof*

7:54 am

sandyloo

solar keratoses are caused by sun damage and are first stages of skin cancers but very common and only surface type - not melanomas- get them checked by the doctor

7:55 am

MonkeyGames

Can you clue those ex's? I think I forgot my brain at the party.

7:55 am

EvaNadine

hopefully not that, sandy! but i am planning on a DRs visit in the future anyway...

7:56 am

sandyloo

I once asked my boss "what is a safe time for sun exposure" he replied "no sun exposure at all"

7:56 am

elder

Eva, pop to the docs and get checked out it sounds like excema but it could be many things, unlikely to be cancerous.

7:56 am

MonkeyGames

My doctor called my spots like that "aging".

7:56 am

EvaNadine

i was thinking it might be eczema

7:56 am

MonkeyGames

Do have it glanced at, for sure.

7:56 am

EvaNadine

sandy -- thats about what i get!
heh

7:57 am

sandyloo

solar keratoses are so common here, most people have them. they are dry spots on the skin

7:57 am

MonkeyGames

It sounds like a kind of excema, but the term is as broad as dermatitis.

7:57 am

sandyloo

melanomas however can be in places that the sun has never seen

7:58 am

It is an eco-town so homes, schools, public transport, shops etc all have to hit at the same time to make sure the residents get into good habits early

That's the idea. It will have different styles, sizes and tenures to make sure it is a mixed community in terms of age, race and income. There will be three neighbourhoods which will probably be quite distinct

If all goes well, when does it start? And is it likely to be affected with the economic problems?

11:14 am

KatieMcG

it probably won't have homes for sale until 2012 and the market should have picked up by then. The one I took through today is for 698 homes in the centre of Leicester and that will start building at the same time.

I work for a Government Agency in regeneration and we support projects either through funding or knowledge. It depends where it is and what it needs. In the grand scheme of things it's not much but we have big projects and can make a big difference to local areas. For example in Corby we helped to part fund a scheme to build a new Civic Centre, relocate the college build apartments and the Council built a new swimming pool. Because all this was taking place the shopping centre owners did and extension. in addition we are building a new railway station so the impact on the town has been tremendous

11:34 am

Haz1558

dr5/18 - think cars

11:34 am

Atalante

look at my icon! look at my icon! *demands*

11:34 am

Haz1558

Is it the vet or the electrician?

11:34 am

periwinkle

sheesh, thanks Haz

11:34 am

Atalante

no! its me and Hobbit!

11:34 am

Haz1558

(She's very demanding when she's ill, isn't she?_

11:34 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, peri.

11:35 am

Vicuna

lol! WHy aren't you smiling!?!

11:35 am

FMitch

*perks up* or a courier?

11:35 am

Haz1558

It's you?

11:35 am

FMitch

Shouldn't that be Hobbit and I?

11:35 am

Atalante

because I was holding a camera and trying not to get licked!

11:35 am

Haz1558

You mean you're breathing your germs over Hobbit as well?

11:35 am

KatieMcG

It's a very good photo ata

11:35 am

KatieMcG

*stands back for the pick on ata half hour*

11:36 am

Atalante

I just like the way she's looking up at me. it's soooo cute. *stops being demanding now*

11:36 am

Vicuna

Hobbit looks like she's gazing adoringly, as well she sould be!

11:36 am

Vicuna

*should

11:36 am

FMitch

awe lovely pic Ata

11:36 am

periwinkle

nice picture, Ata

11:36 am

Haz1558

She'll not be so adoring when she catches the virus.

11:36 am

Vicuna

Whew, Haz is very strict today!

11:36 am

Atalante

I had to cut me off cos my chin looked fat LOL

11:37 am

lynxxx

Just noticed your picture too Katie ...usual position when not running all over the countryside?

11:37 am

Atalante

after all the dogs coughing in the vet's yesterday, I'll be surprised if she stays well!

11:37 am

Haz1558

This is Bio-Security Central.

11:37 am

Vicuna

Notice she's trying to put the blame on other dogs, now, Haz.

11:37 am

Haz1558

She'll have had kennel cough vaccine recently, though, won't she?

11:38 am

Haz1558

I'm noticing.

11:38 am

KatieMcG

My Sunday position, We have a new sofa since then so I can lie stretched out all the way, Crumble does like to join me :-)

11:38 am

Atalante

yes, she has. about 9 months ago

11:38 am

lynxxx

who - Ata?

11:38 am

periwinkle

can't see the 1st re5/14

11:38 am

Atalante

oh but this poor Welsh Springer at the vet. It was heartrending

11:38 am

Haz1558

re5/14 - perform a sum again

11:38 am

lynxxx

re5.14 total up again

11:39 am

Haz1558

I haven't told Spangle about it in case it was one of her relatives and she insists on visiting.

11:39 am

periwinkle

sheesh, thanks Haz

11:39 am

periwinkle

and lynxxx

11:39 am

wildcat17

gotta run bbl

11:39 am

periwinkle

7 left, bbs

11:39 am

Atalante

I suspect she has a mobile biohazard zone round her kennel! the one down here, I mean!

11:39 am

Haz1558

Poor peri. Your legs are going to be sore from kicking yourself.

11:40 am

Haz1558

Spangle is a bit funny today. Not too keen on her walk this morning and draggy this afternoon. If only we had a decent vet nearby.

11:41 am

lynxxx

lol

11:41 am

Atalante

oh nooo. poor Glitterata. What will she do? The lack of decent vets in that part of the world is just awful

11:41 am

Vicuna

Yeah. You don't want one of those hamfisted local country vets looking at poor SPangle, of course!

11:41 am

KatieMcG

Lol Haz. I have taken to giving mine a day or two (especially as it's Crumble) she tends to have 'man flu' and becomes pathetic very early.

11:41 am

Haz1558

We may have to get a referral to your handsome Irish vet, Ata. He sounds the business.

11:42 am

FMitch

Perhaps she wants to hiberate in her cosy kennel with the ensuite and digital TV

11:42 am

Atalante

you know what he threatened to do last time ........

11:42 am

Atalante

he is rather pretty. tall, dark hair, blue eyes

11:42 am

Haz1558

It's strange. She hasn't been sick, just looks a bit woebegone. She's not herself and I don't know why.

11:42 am

FMitch

who threatened to do what to whom?

11:43 am

Vicuna

=( She's lost her lustre?

11:43 am

KatieMcG

ours is a South African and very nice, even when at 40 years old I stood sobbing because my hamster was ill.

11:43 am

Atalante

the evil vet person threatened to inject her with ..... *unmentionable things*

11:43 am

Haz1558

When she had a sore paw or something before, husband threatened Euthatol. It's used for .... killing dogs.

11:44 am

FMitch

*GASP*

11:44 am

Atalante

who knows what he'd do with all-round malaise!

11:44 am

Atalante

awwwww poor Katie

11:44 am

Vicuna

Yikes!

11:44 am

KatieMcG

Haz - that's how crumble gets - extra cuddles are needed. Mr Mari often likes to talk about one way trips to the vets

11:44 am

Haz1558

Do you think I'd be better not to tell him?

11:44 am

Haz1558

The problem is he's such a 'clinician' that he'll pick up immediately that she's not right.

11:45 am

Atalante

the problem is he probably should notice on his own

11:45 am

KatieMcG

remove all needles from his bag before you do

11:45 am

Haz1558

It used to frustrate me that he could walk in the door, take one look at ailing child and declare 'That child is ill!'

11:45 am

Haz1558

Thankfully he never reached for the Euthatol for them either.

11:45 am

KatieMcG

to which I hope you replied 'you fix it then'

11:46 am

Haz1558

Seriously, he loves Spangle, he'l only joking about the Euthatol. I think.

11:46 am

Haz1558

He always wanted to know why I hadn't rushed them to the doctor. I erred on the side of caution, no rushing to doctors unless strictly necessary.

11:46 am

Atalante

looooool. we know he loves Spangle. really. honest

11:46 am

KatieMcG

I'm sure he is, hubby used to joke about dropping fuggy out the window but was really upset when he took him to the vets for me

11:46 am

Vicuna

As you rightly point out, Haz, his daughters survived him. That's a good indication!

11:47 am

Boobear

clue for re 4/6 please

11:47 am

KatieMcG

Still thinking about another hamster but don't know if I could cope with going through the loss again in two years time

11:47 am

Haz1558

He was always much better at doling out medicine to the children than I ever was. He has a kind of no nonsense approach!

11:47 am

Vicuna

re4/6 - an excessive scarlet

11:47 am

Atalante

though he does think that dogs are better sleeping outside ....

11:48 am

KatieMcG

and lets face it giving a child medicine must be easier than giving a cat a tablet :-)

11:48 am

Haz1558

Oh, he's convinced of it Ata. Maybe Spangle's malaise is because of seven years' outdoor sleeping?

11:48 am

Atalante

*anything* is easier than giving a recalcitrant cat a tablet!

11:49 am

Atalante

can you ask him why he thinks that? I'd really like to know the official vet reasonning!

11:49 am

Atalante

I would think so. Poor unloved Spangle

11:49 am

KatieMcG

Mari & I have 6 between us, the worst is Katie (yes that is indeed the cat's name) who can rip you to shreds at 60 paces if she thinks you have a tablet, grown men have sobbed at the thought

11:49 am

Haz1558

Because they're dogs and not humans and dogs sleep outside.

11:50 am

Atalante

what about cats?

11:50 am

KatieMcG

So Crumble sleeping on the pillow wouldn't go down well then?

11:50 am

Atalante

what about Mexican hairless dogs or Chinese crested dogs that have no fur?

11:50 am

Haz1558

I've never asked him about cats. Although his dad had cats and they slept outside, I think.

11:50 am

FMitch

Cats shlould sleep in the barn or stable and catch their food?

11:51 am

Haz1558

He doesn't recognise those breeds as being dogs!

11:51 am

Atalante

I'd love to see him telling Mme Silverclaw that LOL

11:51 am

Atalante

very sensible!

11:51 am

lynxxx

lol

11:52 am

Haz1558

He's probably influenced by so many people treating their dogs as children, not establishing rules and then wondering why the dogs try to rule the roost.

11:52 am

Atalante

absolutely!

11:52 am

KatieMcG

Oh my Crumble has fallen off my lap in shock and Ruby is daring me to do it, Casty is upstairs on the bed so I would need to wake her for a reaction

11:52 am

FMitch

So he wouldn't tolerate a dog in a dress then ;)

11:52 am

Atalante

*doesn't look guiltily at Hobbit*

11:52 am

Atalante

poor Crumble!

11:53 am

Haz1558

He's had people literally trembling because they're too scared to hold their dog. It snarls, they shake.

11:53 am

Atalante

oh how stupid

11:53 am

KatieMcG

Actually for all I ad*** my cats we do have very strict rules in the house. Like children they need boundaries. over time i've even found the use of their name of the 'look' works on them as well as hubby

11:53 am

Haz1558

Is this the point where I put that the views expressed are not necessarily those of the management?

11:54 am

Haz1558

It's true, Ata - he can't understand how people can have any pleasure in owning a pet that just despises them.

11:54 am

Atalante

there's management?

11:54 am

KatieMcG

I have a friend with 4 cats who has no rules and they lead her a life of misery. I've told her she will need to keep them for life as noone would put up with there behaviour

11:54 am

FMitch

lol Katie

11:55 am

Haz1558

My point exactly, Katie.

11:55 am

Vicuna

I would argue that those who treat their pets "like children" probably don't know how to treat children very sensibly, either.

11:55 am

KatieMcG

*their (hangs head in shame at poor use of language)

11:55 am

Atalante

sister literally runs her life around her cat. Though, obviously, she can't do much else! But it just gets silly

11:55 am

Haz1558

You're right, Vicuna. They haven't grasped the gruel and grovel routine at all.

11:56 am

Haz1558

I'm glad to see you're ashamed, Katie. Can't have you morphing into MLF.

11:56 am

Atalante

*wonders about a town built by MLF*

11:56 am

Vicuna

Katie, your apology is accepted. But mind it doesn't happen again!

11:57 am

Haz1558

Oh Ata. You'll only make yourself sicker.

11:57 am

lynxxx

*wondering about the gruel & grovel routine*

11:57 am

Atalante

Katie, where is your new town? It's not down on the south coast, is it?

11:58 am

Haz1558

Gruel and grovel - as applied to pets and children. No treats and oodles of respect.

11:58 am

Atalante

no food!

11:58 am

Vicuna

Who's doing the grovelling in this equation?

11:58 am

KatieMcG

No it's in Leicestershire

11:59 am

Haz1558

Pets and children should grovel to owners and parents. It's the law of England.

11:59 am

lynxxx

oh - thought the pets and chldren needed to grovel for their gruel

11:59 am

Atalante

phew. there's a new eco-town being planned down in Ford. and the locals are soooooo up in arms about it, I'd hate to be involved in that

11:59 am

KatieMcG

Had to laugh, hubby is ill and the cats were playing him up by not gettign out of the garage. A few strong words and they are now out :-) He is a push over

12:00 pm

Haz1558

Well, yes, lynxxx, you make a good point. No giving of gruel without some grovelling should be the rule.

12:00 pm

KatieMcG

Ata it is part of the same programme we won't know if we are shortlisted, I think our locals are even madder :-)

12:00 pm

KatieMcG

*until March next year

12:00 pm

Haz1558

'Planner declares locals are unhinged'

12:00 pm

FMitch

Good heavens just turned over to Ch4 and there were 2 guys wrestling in oil or something equally slippery

12:01 pm

Haz1558

'Locals declare planners are mad'

12:01 pm

Vicuna

"Planner offers to rehinge locals."

12:01 pm

Atalante

urf, I doubt it. every road, every house has "NO ECOTOWN" scrawled all over it

12:01 pm

Atalante

goodness me!

12:01 pm

KatieMcG

Lol Haz - maybe I should have said angrier!!

12:01 pm

lynxxx

boy Katie's tough. Husband is sick and she makes him sleep in the garage. At least Haz only makes Spangle sleep outside

12:01 pm

Vicuna

"Hinge Prices Skyrocket"

12:02 pm

Haz1558

Sleeping in the garage would be a good way of preventing germ spread. Good thinking Katie.

12:02 pm

KatieMcG

We have locals who do not see the irony of driving a massive 4x4 with a 'stop the ecotown' sticker in the back window

12:02 pm

FMitch

It's all very well these huge developments bu thwne they try to shoe horn them into existing communities and end up without enough infrastructure to support them e.g drains, water, parking hospitals etc

12:02 pm

caitlyn

I shouldnt be here........Im out the kitchen really, but after a day in Tescos (including lunch) I had to have a 5 min break....so Hi all

12:02 pm

lynxxx

lol

12:02 pm

Vicuna

That isn't irony, Katie! That's completely consistent!

12:03 pm

FMitch

Evening cait
You deserve a bit of babble time then!

12:03 pm

lynxxx

hi Caitlyn

12:03 pm

KatieMcG

Not when they say that they want to protect the environment

12:03 pm

Haz1558

Oh Tescos. Have a sit down, caitlyn.

12:03 pm

Vicuna

Ah, yes! There you have your irony! lol

12:03 pm

Atalante

yes, it's quite ridiculous

12:04 pm

FMitch

*passes cait a chilled glass of vino*

12:04 pm

caitlyn

I have a nice tub of garlic olives though I shall put them in the pb

12:04 pm

Haz1558

But Katie's project is going to have all the infrastructure happening along with the houses.

12:04 pm

Atalante

4x4s should be banned on proper roads

12:04 pm

KatieMcG

FM - that's the point of eco towns they have to come with the infrastructure for example with ours 7 primary schools and 2 secondary schools, but the down side is you have to build on countryside

12:05 pm

caitlyn

Mmmm thats hit the spot FM thanks (mother was a wee bit trying also ) LOL

12:05 pm

KatieMcG

Tesco's for the whole day?

12:05 pm

caitlyn

It was quite a few hours Katie, you havent met my mother LOL

12:05 pm

Vicuna

I have a scheme that big gas-guzzling vehicles should be required to have on them a warning label like cigarettes : This vehicle is dangerous to the health of the environment and contributes to our dependence on foreign oil. And the owners should be required to purchase the labels.

12:05 pm

Atalante

that's a bit harsh. all day!

12:06 pm

Atalante

and the people who use them wouldn't give a stuff

12:06 pm

KatieMcG

I don't think I could do that even for my mother, lines have to be drawn!

12:06 pm

Vicuna

Neither do smokers, but I still think it's a good idea! lol

12:07 pm

lynxxx

4*4s - such a status thing here - every 'young' mother has them - safer for the kids (!) - a ridiculous overkill

12:07 pm

caitlyn

As I said you havent me my mother, I will say no more LOL

12:07 pm

KatieMcG

the London Mayor was going to charge them £25 per day for getting in to London but I think it got dropped when they changed to Boris. I thought it was a good idea

12:07 pm

Atalante

me too

12:07 pm

FMitch

I wouldn't mind if the women driving the 4x4 could acutally drive them!

12:08 pm

KatieMcG

I drive a hybrid car so at least the protestors can't complain about mine!

12:08 pm

Vicuna

Goodness, look at the time! I must be getting on to other jobs for a bit, but with a few words left I'll surely be back. I'll leave it to you all to solve the world's problems while I'm gone. Good luck!

12:08 pm

FMitch

Bye Vi catch you next time :)

12:09 pm

Atalante

bye dear!

12:09 pm

caitlyn

Have a good day Vi, see you tomorrow

12:09 pm

Haz1558

I've got to start making some food, so I'll head kitchenward. What a shame, I was enjoying the discussion! Bye for now!

12:09 pm

KatieMcG

the parking is great FM, when I worked at MK the highlight of the day was watching the 4*4s getting parked particularly round Christmas time

12:09 pm

KatieMcG

Bye vic

12:09 pm

FMitch

Bye Haz

12:09 pm

caitlyn

Bye Haz, is it okay if we pop over to you for supper please?

congrats Katie!

12:24 pm

Atalante

glitterata! *hugs her*

12:24 pm

Haz1558

Husband has been home, took one look, swift examination and has declared what the problem is. He's headed straight back to the surgery for painkilling injections etc.

12:24 pm

Atalante

YAY Katie!

12:25 pm

Atalante

noooo! what's wrong with her?

12:25 pm

lynxxx

what's wrong?!

12:25 pm

KatieMcG

Oh bless, just check the contents of the phial :-)

12:25 pm

FMitch

Whats wrong?!!!

12:25 pm

Haz1558

She's very tender over her right shoulder - squealing when he examined her. I have no idea how it happend. It wasn't my fault- HONEST!

12:26 pm

FMitch

congrats on fireworks Katie

12:26 pm

FMitch

Awe Spangletina!

12:26 pm

KatieMcG

We know how much you love her, any questions point out that you let her sleep inside

12:26 pm

Atalante

oh poor thing!! she must have bounced wrongly on that shoulder

12:26 pm

Haz1558

I got a scolding for not having phoned him earlier.

12:34 pm

Boobear

fireworks

12:34 pm

MonkeyGames

Yay Boobear!

12:34 pm

Atalante

dr - flop, wilt
du - a little mallard, minus 2 letters

12:35 pm

FMitch

2nd dr5/14 is present tense of the 7

12:35 pm

FMitch

Congrats Boo!

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

No, that's the third one... I need teh second. Working on baby duck clue...

12:36 pm

Boobear

ty all. Have a great afternoon. bye

12:36 pm

MonkeyGames

Thanks, ATA, that just leaves the dr!

12:36 pm

FMitch

add a cons to the dr4/5

12:37 pm

Atalante

dr - same as the first, one vowel changed

12:37 pm

MonkeyGames

COOL! Thank you [both]!!! FINALLY fireworks!

12:37 pm

FMitch

congrats MG

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

Thank you! Been a long day, I need small victories.

12:38 pm

MonkeyGames

We went to a costume party that was not suited to Walter and he did not have a good time and we couldn't leave because our ride wasn't ready... for a four-year-old, that's stressful, and so the rest of the day was a bit wearing for both os us.

12:40 pm

MonkeyGames

Plus I finalized my resume (in Dutch) ad worte a letter of intent (in Dutch) and sent them in for a job at social services... technically they want someone with the Bachelor's, but I get that in February, and I sure need paid work... fingers crossed, please!

12:41 pm

Atalante

why was it not suited to poor Walter?

12:42 pm

MonkeyGames

It was set up through the English Speaking Mom's Group, and it's a school holiday, so it was thronged with pushy older kids, one idiot declared that ujntil the hostess returned we could not feed our kids so for an hour we all had to hold our little ones back from a giant table loaded with snacks, and it was loud and WAY too crowded, but outside was a torrrential, freezing downpour.

12:43 pm

Atalante

oh dear!

12:43 pm

MonkeyGames

But in the pumpkin toss he did win a box of pink slime, which kept him occupied for many hours later.

12:44 pm

MonkeyGames

Also the venue was absolutely LOVELY for us older folks but full of stuff teh little ones were not supposed to "get".

12:45 pm

nDanLia

wise to always carry so'nn'e snacks with you for such e'nn'ergencies

12:46 pm

MonkeyGames

Indeed. It just had NOT occurred to me it would be necessary.... Th hostess was shocked that this other lady had declared teh snacks table off limits. I won't go without again, though, believe me.

12:46 pm

nDanLia

baggies of cheerios & chex are very popular here

12:47 pm

Atalante

mmmm chex mix

12:48 pm

MonkeyGames

Walter likes cheese flavored rice cakes; I should have packed some along. But that wasn't his main reason for not liking it. Poor kid, just a noisy and crowded and chaotic party, he hates that. BUt he did find a place where he could play with his slime and look out the window in peace.

12:49 pm

nDanLia

it is part of learning to coexist with a wide range of people ; ''y 2 have never liked loud scenes, but a part of life

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

And tomorrow we can go buy a bell for his bike, because he overcame his fear yesterday and rode it all the way to the end of the street (four blocks) and back. That'll be a good thing.

12:49 pm

MonkeyGames

Poor little guy,though, he kept saying he just wanted to go back to school. He's only been three weeks and he feels that way. He doesn't grok this vacation.

12:50 pm

Atalante

vacation at this time?

12:50 pm

MonkeyGames

"Fall vacation", oneweek.

12:51 pm

Atalante

By the way, I do agree, NDan, but it made for a long day.

stidmama

oh -- atalante, if you want to see Mother outside one of her ancestor's houses in Chard... stidgrandmere.blogspot.com

3:18 pm

Atalante

it's the most beautiful poem. Adlestrop is a tiny little hamlet. It used to have a railway stop on the Cotswolds line, when there were steam trains. Important info for the poem!

3:18 pm

Atalante

Adlestrop
by Edward Thomas

Yes. I remember Adlestrop—
The name, because one afternoon
Of heat the express-train drew up there
Unwontedly. It was late June.

The steam hissed. Someone cleared his throat.
No one left and no one came
On the bare platform. What I saw
Was Adlestrop—only the name

And willows, willow-herb, and grass,
And meadowsweet, and haycocks dry,
No whit less still and lonely fair
Than the high cloudlets in the sky.

And for that minute a blackbird sang
Close by, and round him, mistier,
Farther and farther, all the birds
Of Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire.

3:18 pm

skheiny

thanks stid for the ep5 :)

3:19 pm

Atalante

ignore the ? at the end of the first line!

3:20 pm

Karys

and so they should

3:20 pm

stidmama

you are so lucky to grow up someplace like that! *envious look* but you don't have a mountain like mine...

3:20 pm

Atalante

and it still says everything to me about the Cotswolds. Summed up in those verses

3:21 pm

Atalante

we had a hill!

3:21 pm

Atalante

that's 2 foot too short to be a mountain

3:21 pm

Karys

well, if you will excuse me, I am going for the list

3:21 pm

Atalante

3:26 pm

Atalante

The Dymock poets were a literary group of the early 20th century, who made their home near the Gloucestershire village of Dymock in England. They were Robert Frost, Lascelles Abercrombie, Rupert Brooke, Edward Thomas, Wilfrid Wilson Gibson, and John Drinkwater, some of whom lived near the village in the period between 1911 and 1914. They published their own quarterly, entitled 'New Numbers', containing poems such as Brooke's masterpiece, The Soldier. The First World War resulted in the break-up of the community.
