I think I will never again forget the lizard. Couldn't remember 3 days ago and babble decided to rub it in :)

2:30 am

spanner

Did mine yesterday. Why is there so much mess when the christmas decorations come down?!

2:30 am

sprite

err... because of the needles from the spars?

2:30 am

herinfernallady

Because

2:30 am

spanner

I have a fake tree....LOL

2:31 am

herinfernallady

that is why we have no tree

2:31 am

sprite

or because the glasswork in the tree is so vulnerable you don't clean behind it until the tree is down again?

2:32 am

jillibus

I have a little fake tree on a table and I just put it in a big green garbage bag with all its decorations still on it and store it until the next year. I'll do that tomorrow. It still looks pretty with all its tiny lights on.

2:32 am

spanner

Or is it just because without the glitz we all see the reality that are our houses....

2:33 am

sprite

we are getting our tree ready to travel back to its home.

2:33 am

herinfernallady

My kitchen is all chiny

2:33 am

2:46 am

bit of a shock to come back to frozen england though. Maximum of freezing all day today

2:53 am

sprite

yes, here as well, but I don't mind. The sky is clear, the sun is out and I just put on extra clothes to keep warm. It can freeze like this every day until spring for me, as long as there is sun and light.

2:54 am

Poor Katie

bye if you're still there Sprite. Hi Mich

3:42 am

Michnick

Hi Lynxx. I'm OK, how is everyone today?

3:43 am

lynxxx

All fine here, doesn't sound much better over there

3:46 am

Michnick

No, it's getting scary, especially with the threats coming from Iran and Iraq. I contacted an organization today so we may host a family from down south.

3:47 am

Michnick

I hope they can find me a family with a disabled family member, so few houses are accessible.

3:49 am

lynxxx

I'll pray it doesn't escalate. Speaking of which that is a beautiful icon photo

3:50 am

herinfernallady

MIch so it has gotten to the point were people are now moving away and being ''adopted'' by others?

3:53 am

Norma

Hi Katie what are you doing on Babble you should be at work, did you enjoy the Maldives?? I bet you are freezing ??

3:54 am

Michnick

Thanks, yes, many people want to stay ideologically but many others are fleeing for practical reasons. All the schools are closed so families with children are forced to stay in shelters most of the day.

3:54 am

lynxxx

hi Norma...and Katie - sprung! I'll say hello to FM too

3:55 am

Norma

Hi lynxxx ... is that your dog ???

3:55 am

lynxxx

It is Norma, adopted him a year ago

3:56 am

herinfernallady

Ok Mich I didn't realise

3:56 am

Norma

He looks lovely, what beautiful colouring

3:57 am

trisha_ZA

hello again to a few and hello to everyone else

3:57 am

lynxxx

I fell for his photo on the greyhound adoption site. I didn't realise brindles were so common with greyhounds

3:57 am

lynxxx

hi Trisha

3:58 am

Norma

I have never had a greyhound but a friend of mine breeds them and he has often said what lovely gentle dogs they are, just not very good to have around when you have cats lol

3:59 am

herinfernallady

HI Norma and Trisha

3:59 am

trisha_ZA

hi lynx....

3:59 am

Norma

Hi herin

3:59 am

trisha_ZA

and he....lady..

3:59 am

herinfernallady

Norma that is one pretty kitty

4:00 am

trisha_ZA

hmmm......i'm going to put a pic of my saimese fighter fish up..'tis the only pet i have at the moment

4:01 am

lynxxx

Very gentle dogs, usually quite timid in fact...Stewart dead set scared of cats, and very good with small white dogs,

4:01 am

herinfernallady

Lynx cute puppy though

4:02 am

Norma

He is a rescue cat he was in a very bad road accident shortly after we had him, so his pelvis was very badly smashed up, so his jumping days are over but he has a wonderful nature, everyone wants to adopt him

4:02 am

trisha_ZA

lol don't blame him for being scared of the little white ones.....lynx

4:03 am

Norma

lynxx they usually chase cats if they have been trained to run, and it is a myth they need a lot of exercise my friend says his dogs are quite idle lol

4:04 am

herinfernallady

How old is kitty?

4:04 am

Norma

About 14 years old now we have had him about 13 years.

4:05 am

Norma

Got to go and do the laundry be back later have fun

4:06 am

lynxxx

Perhaps that's why Stew was given up for adoption, no chase instinct! They very much earn the reputation of couch potatos - they are never off them. Bye for now Norma

4:06 am

trisha_ZA

lol @ couch potato

4:07 am

herinfernallady

wow. Happy bounce my printing order is ready for collection

5:50 am

herinfernallady

He is diabetic he is in year 9 this year and all he knows how to cook is steak chips crumble that is all really sad

5:51 am

crosshair

we taught our boy basic cooking at home around 10 years old

5:52 am

Trifioso

hmmmm....so, what are you trying to teach him today?

5:52 am

Trifioso

is he in boy scouts by any chance? they always learn to cook here, on the camping trips

5:52 am

herinfernallady

Drives me nuts that as a nation we are a bunch of unhealthy fatties yet no school teaches home Ec or Food tech as they call it

5:53 am

Trifioso

my brothers all worked in restaurants when they were in their teens and early twenties, first as bus boys and then as other things, and learned to be great cooks as a result

5:54 am

Trifioso

seriously? no school? that is just sad. and yes, I had heard that australia had surpassed the US as the fattest country on earth, but didn't figure that to be right, as you do have a reputation for being a much more sport oriented country than we couch spuds are....

5:55 am

crosshair

sadly if your not in a climate that has a year round growing season,eating healthy can be very,very expensive

5:56 am

morning carlee

5:57 am

carleekat

hi trif...crossy....

5:58 am

carleekat

( weighing in when am not sure I have all the info..time to return to a time we canned all the fresh stuff in the summer when abundant....instead of being lazy and running to store )

5:58 am

crosshair

i agree carlee

5:58 am

crosshair

me mum used to do canning

5:58 am

Trifioso

I froze a lot of mine - does that count?

5:59 am

carleekat

i've done SOME....

5:59 am

Trifioso

and I did can some blueberries, and pickles

5:59 am

herinfernallady

Hi Carlee

5:59 am

carleekat

freezing requires energy to keep cold...but yes does count

5:59 am

herinfernallady

And Trifs no its pretty lame

5:59 am

crosshair

i remember in sept and october when i was a kid,the stove used to run 24/7 with giant pots full of jars and boiling water

6:00 am

carleekat

my grandma did that...

6:00 am

Trifioso

I agree about the energy, but at least then the stuff in our garden didn't go to waste, and frozen green beans from the garden are just more palatable than canned ones

6:01 am

herinfernallady

I make my own jam and bread

6:01 am

carleekat

I will be canning way more this summer

6:02 am

Jacula

Morning all. Can I just say that freshly picked and frozen stuff can have more nutrients than fresh stuff that's been kept for a few days. So, if you put the energy thing aside, frozen food is not a bad option.

6:02 am

carleekat

I make jam...and bread...

6:02 am

carleekat

hi there jacs

6:02 am

Trifioso

LOVE homemade bread! sadly, same problem as the fresh produce - when it is 63 degrees in the kitchen, bread is not going to rise. well, that, and the kids like fresh bread so much they eat the loaves in one sitting!

6:02 am

crosshair

what uses more energy theese days,a freezer or a stove running a whole month???

6:02 am

herinfernallady

Make that too

6:21 am

mrpresident

6:22 am

herinfernallady

Scrabbler my b.f used to sleep in bed with 2 others on gaming weekends no biggie

herinfernallady

It is isn't it Mr Pres

6:24 am

Eva

I've learned to love the winter landscape, but that;'s because I'm in deep country, where it is beautiful. In the city the winter was so ugly! But light......Merp acts like a sundial and rotates around the house soaking up any little bits of sun he can find.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

But I do enjoy XC-skiing in the winter. Saturday was magnificent in the woods--sunny, great trail conditions.

6:24 am

mrpresident

NO ONE calls their kid Donna!

herinfernallady

6:24 am

yes..you stare out at the snow and windblasted landscape as the sun runs from a bleak grey sky that it could not penetrate and listen to the sound of hail and sleet shredding any remaining greenage that had the nerve to survive this long:/...ugh i need a grow light and a tea....

6:25 am

Jacula

Eva - cats do that, don't they (sun-chase). They're also the first in line if a fire is lit.

Jacula

Great description, Crossy.

8:18 am

lil*monkey

Mr. Hate , that's a good nickname

8:18 am

lil*monkey

me too kajee, i have just started chatting with torgone and he is quite adorable

8:18 am

Trifioso

and he isn't my ex yet, so I dont' really know what to call him. Mr. hate works. NEVER say that in front of the children though.

8:19 am

lil*monkey

Mr. Teenie Weinie works too

8:19 am

Trifioso

hey, I saw torgone first! and there is also yummy dcsein, harry hood, and the smilesoplenty guy, but i understand he bats for the other team, sadly

8:19 am

kje

yes, tor sounds nice... and you already know dc is nice

8:19 am

lil*monkey

dcseain is ADORABLE!!!! he came to my bday party... but he is taken

8:19 am

kje

dc does not like women... plus he is in a relationship of long standing i believe

8:20 am

lil*monkey

smilesoplenty is transgender

8:20 am

kje

i think smilesofplenty is also 2 guys... together i think

8:20 am

lil*monkey

and i think he is taken

8:20 am

Trifioso

damn the luck. I figure I need to mourn it for as long as I was in it, but a month for each year. so I am closed for renovations for 20 months.

8:21 am

lil*monkey

oh i am closed for renovations for only 3 months then

8:21 am

kje

right upper e besides finishes?

8:22 am

Trifioso

my system may not work for you....take as long as you think you need. I was pretty sheltered before I got married, so I am thinking I might just become a right old round-heeled woman....

8:22 am

lil*monkey

Trifi, come to Vegas

8:22 am

lil*monkey

let's "un shelter" you

8:22 am

kje

round-heeled?

8:22 am

EvaNadine

so, out of the majority of the men we have here on babble, most of them are disinterested in women?

8:22 am

Trifioso

need money and someone to watch the kiddies, so I think that sadly I am out. too bad, really, as I kick booTOCKS at kareoke

8:23 am

kje

lol - eva - i suspect so... or married... or like 15 years old!

8:23 am

Trifioso

muse on why a woman would develop round heels....

8:23 am

lil*monkey

that sounds like a challenge to me

8:23 am

EvaNadine

well, married + trolls, i figured...

8:23 am

kje

where do you live trif?

8:23 am

Anniebrook

Trif...get a good lawyer and get all the support you can.

8:23 am

Anniebrook

Trif...get a good lawyer and get all the support you can.

8:24 am

Trifioso

ugh. secondo just phoned to say she forgot her saxophone and needs it dropped off RIGHT NOW. sigh.

8:24 am

kje

ok, i may be naive... but i really do not get the round heel thing

8:24 am

lil*monkey

is round=heeled the same as well-heeled?

8:24 am

EvaNadine

monkey -- i heard of your meetup with DC -- i work just around the corner from jaleo. :)

8:24 am

Trifioso

and yes, annie, that is my plan. luckily massachusetts heavily favors the wives in this situation. Mr. Hate is gonna drop a BRICK when he sees how much I am deserving of. and the kids too.

8:24 am

Trifioso

no. google it....

8:24 am

lil*monkey

what? OMG i wish i had known!

8:25 am

Trifioso

"Round heels" means if you give her a slight push she will tip right over, end up on her back. If the angle made by the bottom of her foot and the back of her leg was more of a right angle, it would take more effort to "tip" her. But she's easy, so the corner in question, the heel, is round-- the whole assembly pivots into supine position easily and without hanging up.

8:47 am

Anniebrook

an "easy" woman...poor trif

11:09 am

stidmama

oh well, desperate dog calls for desperate measures. I think I shall get up and throw the ball a bit. (((flosey))) have a lovely day. When I have a few moments later, I shall start putting books back ON the wall -- Tom put the shelves up last night while I was at class. And then we can buy more shelves for the other half of the wall and put the rest of the books (now scattered around the house in boxes) up, and THEN I can maybe get into my office to see what is left of my art supplies. *sigh*

11:10 am

stidmama

be well, all! *poof*

Wait, did TO just say it's nice to have those we have, and then stop being one of those we have? What's that supposed to mean, eh? Hmmm...

12:04 pm

Atalante

why is it that things that should be easy to find as reference photos are always the hardest?

I would like to see more left-handed sidewalks

12:06 pm

Vicuna

Howdy, Takuma!

12:06 pm

Vicuna

I haven't seen any sidewalks with hands at all, BabbleRabble.

12:06 pm

caitlyn

Why BR

12:07 pm

Atalante

a front-on picture of a doberman! everyone takes them side on! but I'm finally finding some :)

12:07 pm

caitlyn

LOL Vi!

12:07 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

what's a left-handed sidewalk . . . ?!

12:08 pm

caitlyn

BR stop confusing us

12:08 pm

Takuma Sato

maybe that's because doberman's have such narrow heads that it's difficult to get them to show up in head-on pictures

12:08 pm

Vicuna

You're quite right, Ata. Of all the millions of pictures on the internet, there never seems to be a good one of just the angle you want.

12:09 pm

caitlyn

Perhaps they are camera shy

12:09 pm

Atalante

it always seems if you want a picture of a yellow beach ball with a bucket, spade, ice cream and dead fish, you'll find loads. if you want something really simple, there are never any pics!

12:09 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, dobermen are notorious for their shyness, caitlyn. =P

12:10 pm

Atalante

looooool :P

12:10 pm

Takuma Sato

ew, sorry about that: I mean "dobermans" (or "dobermen"?) not "dobermen's"

12:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(i have a left-handed bookstore . . . now i want a left-handed sidewalk!!)

12:10 pm

OrangeCat

yellow beach ball..bucket,spade, ice cream and dead fish.. sounds like whats in the back seat of my car

12:10 pm

Atalante

and does anyone know - when dobermans have sticky up ears, is that because they were cut as puppies, or is that natural? any doberman experts in the neighbourhood?

12:11 pm

Atalante

I have left handed scissors!

12:11 pm

Takuma Sato

they're clipped

12:11 pm

Atalante

ty, I assumed so. blech.

12:11 pm

Vicuna

Well, Takuma, we'll forgive you once.... But don't let it happen again!

12:11 pm

Takuma Sato

they naturally have upright ears that flop at the top

12:11 pm

Takuma Sato

afaik

12:12 pm

Atalante

I wonder how the ear clipping started. do they look fiercer with pointy ears?

12:12 pm

Atalante

(I have to create a hellhound. I thought a doberman would be a good model for musculature!)

12:13 pm

gramma

Help me rest easy. LE7? please

12:13 pm

Takuma Sato

oops -- I was wrong. they naturally have floppy ears like a beagle, not upright ones that flop at the top

12:13 pm

caitlyn

I could always send you a photo of hubby Ata :)

12:13 pm

Vicuna

Frankly, when faced by a fierce dog, the ears are the least of my concerns.

12:14 pm

Atalante

well that would have been my thought too, Vi!

12:14 pm

Vicuna

le7/32 - males who create the glass for telescopes?

12:14 pm

Takuma Sato

try Presa Canario for a model, ata

12:15 pm

gramma

TY and I'm off to nap.

12:15 pm

Takuma Sato

they look like hellhounds right out of the box

12:15 pm

Atalante

oh wow, that's a dog? It looks like a a a hellhound, yes!

12:15 pm

Vicuna

oh, apparently it means photographers. I suppose I've heard that before, just didn't think of it.

12:16 pm

Atalante

well there's my other hellhound. I have 2 different universe hellhounds to do. One I want tall adn elegant - hence the doberman, but that is perfect for the otehr

12:16 pm

Atalante

scary looking dog

12:16 pm

Vicuna

People keep those things in boxes? No wonder they come out growling!

12:16 pm

Takuma Sato

cool -- glad that helped

12:16 pm

Atalante

that - but the size of a neapolitan mastiff!

12:16 pm

Takuma Sato

boo, vic ;)

12:17 pm

Vicuna

Yeah, I know. Sorry, Takuma!

12:18 pm

caitlyn

Oh just watching the news, the fountains in Trafalger Suare froze last night

12:19 pm

12:24 pm

caitlyn

Ignore spelling ..its wine o clock!

12:24 pm

Atalante

absolutely! at least that isn't frozen

12:24 pm

Vicuna

I don't know about caitlyn's clock. I think she's neglected to wind it again.

12:24 pm

caitlyn

Oh Takuma do you fancy a visitor

12:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

30 degrees here, give or take.

12:25 pm

Atalante

bloody cold here, give or take

12:25 pm

Takuma Sato

heh -- we should trade places. I miss having a genuine winter

12:25 pm

Vicuna

(Which reminds me, I actually do have to wind my clock. Back in a mo...)

12:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

so cold here the penguins are freezing

12:26 pm

Takuma Sato

any bridge players here? is "acol" an acronym?

12:26 pm

Atalante

all the penguins have buggered off to warmer climes here

12:26 pm

hey everyone. not feeling to well today, so going to sit for a quiet few and try to finish

12:36 pm

caitlyn

Hi Tri sorry you are not feeling well

12:36 pm

Atalante

hi trif

12:37 pm

Trifioso

not sure if it is stress, bad eggs, too much coffee, or all three. ick. have to pull it together, primo has his very first high school swim meet today, and I HAVE to be there....though I would much rather stay close to home - and procelain!

12:38 pm

Atalante

anti-sickness/diarrhoea tablets. they are your friends!

12:38 pm

Vicuna

Good luck to primo!

12:39 pm

Trifioso

don't EVER tell him I said this, but he look HILARIOUS in his team suit. He is 15 years old and weighs around 110 pounds. body by Kermit....

12:39 pm

caitlyn

Hope you feel well enough to cheer primo to his win today !!

12:40 pm

Trifioso

oh gads, can you imagine if I barfed in public? we would both die of shame

12:40 pm

kje

trif! we looked up round-heeld after you left... we are all shocked!!! : )

12:40 pm

Trifioso

nah, you are just jealous....:)

12:40 pm

Trifioso

didn't say i was GOING to do it, just saying it's an option

12:41 pm

Trifioso

checking chog archive.....

12:42 pm

kje

LOL - maybe

12:42 pm

SamanthaJoy

Um. kje, what exactly does "round heeled" mean to you?

12:42 pm

Vicuna

But... doesn't everyone have round heels? It would be much more noteworthy if they were square or triangular... Sounds to me like wishful thinking on the part of males to suggest that all round-heeled women would put out...

12:42 pm

Atalante

I'd quite like hexagonal heels

12:43 pm

caitlyn

rofl

12:43 pm

kje

sam - it was a long discussion.. but essentially trif said she was going to become a round heeled woman, and none of us in the chog at the time knew what that meant, so eventually we googled

12:43 pm

Vicuna

Ata, never wish for feet of any shape but what the shoemakers think they should be!

12:43 pm

kje

lolol ata - it is always you isn't it

12:43 pm

SamanthaJoy

Oh, never mind, I misread your post. I thought you said that you "WOKE UP round heeled", not that you "looked up" round heeled. LMAO~

12:43 pm

caitlyn

LOL

12:44 pm

Vicuna

lol

12:44 pm

kje

LOLOL sam - well, that WOULD be an interesting development

12:44 pm

SamanthaJoy

Aaaaaaand the middle aged hormones have hit as of NOW!

12:44 pm

kje

hopefully that middle aged isn't referring to me sam : )

12:45 pm

caitlyn

Taking the mulled wine away from Sam.........

12:45 pm

Trifioso

okay, back. First of all, that was COMPLETELY what I meant, and second, I read that book, and even gave it to my mom to read, who was appropriately shocked (and curious, I am convinced....). I was such a ridiculous goody goody before I got married. I think it would be interesting to be a right old slapper at this stage, but honestly, I don't think I could do it. Just not wired that way.

12:45 pm

SamanthaJoy

Not specifically. Middle-age-ish is when women generally get hit with a hormone rush and heightened sex drives, the same way boys do in their puberty years.

12:45 pm

Trifioso

but admittedly, it is fun to think about.

12:46 pm

caitlyn

At my age I would rather have a bar of chocolate

12:46 pm

kje

it is a fact, sam... that is why middle aged women should hook up with younger men - equal sex drives

12:47 pm

kje

just kidding!!! no one go puritan on me here!

12:47 pm

Trifioso

hmm. yes, maybe so.

12:47 pm

Vicuna

caitlyn, never forge that it isn't unreasonable to have both!

12:47 pm

Vicuna

forget, I mean.

12:47 pm

SamanthaJoy

I agree completely! . . . My husband isn't too sure about this theory though

12:47 pm

caitlyn

LOL

12:47 pm

kje

was the book good, trif.. the excerpt i read was very well written

12:48 pm
