Hugabugs

VolleymomDee

ok hug, how do you do it?

Christine

Jellen: On my honour, I promise to do my best, to do my duty to God and the Queen, and to help other people at all times., and to obey the Guide Law.

To do my duty to God and my country

Hugabugs

On my honour, I promise to do my best, to do my duty to God, the Queen and my country, to help other people at all times and to obey the Guide Laws.

BabbleRabble

gh 6: meaning "encirclement," is a word originally from Hindi, and is a typically South Asian way of protest. Usually, a group of people would surround a politician or a government building until their demands are met, or answers given.

The term became popular in the 1960s when political activists in West Bengal started the practice of surrounding a politician or a government building in large groups, for hours on stretch.

2:05 am

westford

I think you mentioned it lyn

2:06 am

lynxxx

I saw that one West, it was guzzling down like crazy. Shows how distraught it was - they usually keep away from people and they don't drink water

2:06 am

westford

it's hard to fathom the devastation lyn

2:07 am

Rlee

west all in and can start to smell them

2:08 am

lynxxx

Seems like it has been good day, deathh toll has not increased and they have made progress on the containment lines (bulldozed 'edges'). Now saying they may be able to control the fires in a week, they were saying 2 weeks a couple of days ago.

2:08 am

westford

good let me know how they turn out

2:08 am

Rlee

i will

2:08 am

westford

Australia fires rage, new arson fears

39 minutes ago

YEA, Australia (AFP) — Australian police investigated fresh arson attacks and looting Wednesday as angry survivors pressed for access to towns devastated by wildfires that continue to burn across vast areas.

Victoria state Premier John Brumby said there was "little doubt" that several fires had been deliberately lit overnight in the state where at least 181 people -- and possibly more than 200 -- died in blazes on the weekend.

2:12 am

westford

how terrible what is wrong with them?

2:13 am

Rlee

the looters are now causing problems

2:13 am

Frances

Is there anything left to loot?

2:13 am

westford

that's just what I was thinking

2:14 am

rolin

looting..whats left to loot??.

2:14 am

Rlee

yes, homes that were only partially damaged or missed but the ppl can't get back to them

2:14 am

jillibus

these arsonists are unbelieveable

2:15 am

rolin

rlee...its like when a hurricane hits in the US...one house can be standing while the town around it is gone

2:15 am

lynxxx

I can't imagine there is Frances...and some of the areas are still closed off by police (either unsafe, or bodies still to be recovered) so the areas would be hard to get to

2:15 am

jillibus

how can the looters get there if the ppl can't?

2:15 am

lynxxx

hi Rolin

2:15 am

Frances

That was my next question jilli.

2:15 am

rolin

cos looters will sneak in..where as honest home owners will allow themselves to be stopped by police

2:15 am

rolin

hey lynxxx

2:15 am

BabbleRabble

"I think words escape us all when it comes to describing that deliberate arson," he said.

State police commissioner Christine Nixon said investigators were closing in on an arsonist blamed for lighting a fire in the Gippsland region, in the state's east.

2:16 am

Rlee

you can do alot if your doing something not legal, not like their going to walk in the main street, the will come in at night or through back ways

2:16 am

rolin

i think ive read the age more in the last five days than i did when i leved there..lol

2:16 am

Frances

When they catch them, take them to an uninhabited island and leave them there with a large supply of matches.

2:16 am

jillibus

great idea, frances

2:17 am

lynxxx

lol Frances...although I don't think they woulld make it there if any residents saw them

2:18 am

rolin

lynxxx...how is the healesville sanctuary?..is it still there?

2:18 am

Frances

I can imagine.

2:18 am

BabbleRabble

there are a lot of fires going around Melbourne

2:18 am

lynxxx

Think its OK Rolin. Fire in hills around Healesville but not in the town

2:18 am

Rlee

rolin it is like the hurrican in the us.. my firends house is still standing, but the houses beside and behind are gone.. horses came into his place cause the fences are all gone. the owner came and said he would pay to keep them there, but robert said no he will not take money and also told the family he had a small caravan and they could stay there with them for as long as it took

2:19 am

rolin

babrab.. theyre about 30 miles from melb...

2:19 am

lynxxx

And the keepers are staying at the Sanctuary

2:19 am

westford

rlee that's a heartwarming story

2:19 am

rolin

oh ok...good...its sounds silly but thats a childhood icon for me... and we've lost brian naylor..*sigh*

2:20 am

westford

makes up for the jerks in the world

2:20 am

Frances

BabRab I love your icon. I saw that picture and sent it to my friends.

2:20 am

Rlee

(Machine quilted)

3:02 am

Frances

I belong to an American quilt site (www.thequiltshown.com) and one of the people on there is a guy called Ricky Timms. He does that sort of thing and makes incredible quilts with his father.

A young man asked an elderly rich man how he made his money. 'Well, son, it was 1932. The depth of the Great Depression. I was down to my last penny, so I invested that penny in an apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple and, at the end of the day, I sold that apple for ten pennies. 'T he next morning I bought two apples, spent the day polishing them and sold them for 20 pennies. I continued this for a month, by which time I'd accumulated a fortune of £1.37. 'Then my wife's father died and left us £2m.'

A lobbyist on his way home from Parliament is stuck in traffic. Noticing a police officer, he winds down his window and asks: 'What's the hold-up?' The policeman replies: 'The Prime Minister is so depressed he's stopped his motorcade and is threatening to douse himself with petrol and set himself on fire. 'He says no one believes he can get us through the credit crunch. So we're taking up a collection for him.' The lobbyist asks: 'How much have you got so far?'

Man who's lost his job goes up to limousine stopped at traffic lights and knocks on the window. The tinted glass rolls down and the man says, 'Please sir, spare a fiver. I've lost my job and have three kids to feed.' A posh voice from the back seat intones, "Neither a borrower nor a lender be. Shakespeare,' and the window rolls up. At the next traffic lights, there's another knock at the car window. The rich man rolls down his window and the jobless man sticks in his head and says, 'F--- off you miserable git. D.H. Lawrence.'

caster sugar is a fine grind of sugar which is used by bartenders and bakers, among others, for its quick dissolving properties. It is also sometimes seen spelled as castor sugar, and it may be labeled as “superfine sugar” as well. Much like regular table sugar, caster sugar can come in both refined and unrefined forms. Many grocery suppliers sell caster sugar, which can be replaced in recipes with partly ground conventional sugar if it cannot be obtained.

4:12 am

4:25 am

Frances

4:25 am

herinfernallady

4:25 am

mrpresident

I imagine a stick of butter to be the whole 250g!

4:25 am

westford

a lot of our labels have both measurements now

4:25 am

Frances

That's why I asked mrp. I thought that too.

4:26 am

westford

and the oven dial

4:26 am

herinfernallady

OH I saw a thing about that

4:26 am

westford

as Julia Child used to say you can never have too much butter

4:26 am

mrpresident

butter is evil!! LOL

4:26 am

herinfernallady

A stick of butter in USA is 1/2 cup, 8 tablespoons.

4:28 am

Frances

How do you measure butter in a cup without melting it?

4:28 am

mrpresident

you weigh it

4:28 am

westford

just soften it a bit

4:29 am

Frances

So if a recipe is in cups you still have to weigh it?

4:29 am

westford

no not if you get it by the pound

4:29 am

westford

a pint's a pound the world around

4:29 am

herinfernallady

No as cups and weights are different

4:30 am

westford

liquid and solid measurements are different too

4:30 am

westford

4:31 am

Frances

Beginning to regret asking the question!

4:31 am

Hi Merk I have been wondering how you are

4:55 am

ardilla

MERK!!! long time no chat

4:55 am

4:55 am

Merk

Yes, I'm in China so I'm nearer your time zone.

I guess I should change my flag.

4:57 am

Merk

Wow! Great color.

4:57 am

herinfernallady

it did

4:58 am

Merk

I have not had time to read the news. Are the Australian bush fires under control. Did they catch some of the arsonists?

4:58 am

herinfernallady

No to both

4:59 am

herinfernallady

http://www.heraldsun.com.au this is the news

4:59 am

Merk

Oh no! So are people still continuing to be trapped. The last I read there were over 100 killed, I think.

4:59 am

mrpresident

merk, it is almost 200 now

5:00 am

mrpresident

the prediction is over 300, but more once the hospitals report their losses

5:00 am

Merk

How incredibly sad. I can't even imagine it. The earlier stories I read were so descriptive and some of the tales of the survivors were heartrending.

5:00 am

mrpresident

it is so so sad, beyond words...

5:01 am

herinfernallady

I cant really talk about it sorry it just makes me so terribly said. Merk Highly doubt people will emerge from the ashes alive

5:01 am

Merk

yes, beyond words

5:01 am

Merk

I'm sure the count will be up once they are able to thoroughly search the debris and ashes.

5:01 am

herinfernallady

SAd man i need to think

5:02 am

Frances

LOL I see limecat is now masquerading as a cupcake mrp.

5:02 am

herinfernallady

I just finished reading a story of a husband wife their 3 year old and 8mnth old gone

5:02 am

mrpresident

oh you noticed frances! LOL

5:02 am

Merk

Well, I'll change the subject for a second, herin. This winter China is letting Lickety get through so I haven't needed you to copy and paste the list for me when I get stuck.

5:03 am

Merk

I'm not able to be here everyday because of responsibilities, but with a short grid like this, I can diddle around awhile. I don't even try any over 200.

5:03 am

herinfernallady

YAH MERK that is good. Sorry I have been a bit distant. I did donate $50 in toiletries yesterday and the Blood bank have me on the people to vamp list

5:03 am

mrpresident

good on ya merk! Is lovely to see you here!

5:04 am

Merk

It is how I unwind after supper if I am free.

5:04 am

Frances

I must get on with my day. My continuing good wishes to all, especially for all my Aussie friends at this sad time. See you tomorrow.

5:04 am

Merk

I can't count the number of times I have tried 'rahs'. In the US it would be considered a cheerleader's cheer.

5:05 am

herinfernallady

ANd the worst thing is people are getting pissy with the police for not letting them into their properties. The police don't want anyone to go in to these places until they are done.

5:05 am

mrpresident

thanks frances... we are doing a huge fundraiser tomorrow... thanks for the wishes :)

5:05 am

Hi Sandy

5:06 am

Merk

All over the whole country ... unbelievable. How many time zones does Australia have?

5:06 am

mrpresident

we have 3 (4 in summer)

5:07 am

sandyloo

well its 8.06 in west aus

5:07 am

herinfernallady

Thanks I couldn't answer that

5:07 am

Merk

Much more sensible.

5:07 am

mrpresident

good lord merk! they don't divvy up the country into time zones?? that is unbelievable!!

5:07 am

mrpresident

it is 10.06 in East Aust

5:08 am

mrpresident

but, it is 9.06pm in Queensland (cause they don't have daylight saving - even though they are eastern)

5:08 am

sandyloo

pres, you are not near the fires are you

5:08 am

Merk

When I am in Harbin in summer, the sun comes up at 3:30 a.m. because we are so far north and east in China. We are the eye of the rooster on the map.

5:09 am

sandyloo

we have the daylight saving of evil.... we are voting soon regarding whether it will stay

5:09 am

mrpresident

it is 8.36pm in Central Australia?

5:09 am

herinfernallady

Hi Kristine. ANy news on hubby/

5:10 am

mrpresident

what time does sun come up and down by you sandy??

5:10 am

Merk

This is not always a country of reason. They cannot even fathom time zones unless they have done considerable travel in Australia or North America.

5:10 am

ardilla

well fellow babblers, i'm going to attempt to study a bit

5:10 am

ardilla

happy babbling all

5:11 am

Merk

Bye, Ardilla.

5:11 am

KristineNas

he was verl alert , they dropped his sedation meds and most of his pain meds because he was very confused , he was speaking as well as he could , he still has the NG Tube in his nose so that inhibits his speach , it was a good visit overall , he's still critical , but getting closer !!

5:11 am

sandyloo

89 left here but i just started lol

5:12 am

Merk

I'm stuck with 23 left.

5:12 am

herinfernallady

this is all gone :( http://tinyurl.com/bxzvg8 YAH Nas. that is great. At least he isn't fighting them

5:12 am

KristineNas

well , he still has his moments where he forgets where he is

5:13 am

herinfernallady

Well at least he isn't trying to be a pain in the arse and fighting them off

5:13 am

KristineNas

but I'm much more optimistic now that he is breathing on his own , he still requires 100 % oxygen by mask , but it's an improvement

5:14 am

KristineNas

true true lady

5:14 am

herinfernallady

i just can't think

5:14 am

mrpresident

oh the confusion is horrid! He won't remember much (if anything) of that Kristine... poor darling

5:15 am

mrpresident

oxygen by mask is also very relaxing kristine... he will feel good with it

5:15 am

KristineNas

yes im counting in that mrp !!

5:15 am

mrpresident

for sure kristine

5:15 am

KristineNas

he was on some pretty heavy stuff

5:16 am

herinfernallady

good Krist I am so glad to hear good news

5:17 am

KristineNas

ME TOO , And I'm even happier that now his mother and sister can go home :)

5:17 am

mrpresident

he won't remember hun... promise

5:17 am

KristineNas

they told me one of the meds he was receiving was an amnesiac < is that the right word ? lol

5:18 am

mrpresident

yes, amnesia

5:18 am

herinfernallady

Mr Pres. Every were i went as a kid is all gone. Did you know it will take about 50 years for the forests to regenerate to the way it was

5:19 am

mrpresident

he won't remember. and don't tell him either... even when he asks.... unless it is a positive experience he is asking about

5:19 am

KristineNas

oh trust me , he

5:19 am

KristineNas

ll want to know

5:19 am

KristineNas

and fight me to tell him every detail

5:19 am

KristineNas

we had an arguement yesterday LOL

5:19 am

sandyloo

i wonder how the arsonists feel now they know the damage they have caused

5:20 am

mrpresident

yes infern... it is shocking, awful, incomprehensible....
I know the areas well... I did spend time in Vic as a young lady in my 20's and also drove through many of the areas... Vic is a beautiful place... may it's beauty return 10 fold

5:20 am

sandyloo

kris, is this your husband you are talking about?

5:20 am

mrpresident

sandy, they don't 'feel' anything... they are evil.

5:20 am

herinfernallady

Sandy why the f would they care. 2 14 year old girls burned down 3 houses near my friends place on the weekend

5:21 am

mrpresident

the problem is, they work in pairs... that is just the epitomy of evil

5:21 am

mrpresident

btw, may I have a clue for sh5/14, last one??

5:21 am

sandyloo

so often the punishment doesnt fit the crime!! Can't understand why they would do it

5:22 am

sandyloo

of course they must be crazy-mentally disabled

5:22 am

mrpresident

no one can understand evil infern... it is too beyond our scope

5:22 am

herinfernallady

My g.f and I have come up with good suggestions for these 14 year olds. Make them work in a burns unit for well ever and make them wear a burns suit (head to toe) for a year

5:23 am

sandyloo

put them in a high security male prison

5:23 am

mrpresident

there is a brilliant book... 'people of the lie'... it outlines evil in a way I never thought of ... shows how people just 'don't care'

5:24 am

herinfernallady

Oh and today 2 scum bags stole a CFA bushfire appeal tin

5:24 am

sandyloo

i wonder what sort of upbringings these people have-some (a lot) of people dont deserve to have children

5:24 am

mrpresident

the looting and stealing is incredible... people pretending to be collecting money for the appeal.
I so want to shoot them myself

5:25 am

mrpresident

And I don't like guns! I would use a crossbow

5:25 am

sandyloo

My thoughts cant be printed, I would be arrested

5:26 am

mrpresident

and a toothpick... and nail clippers... and a low percentage of sterile environment

5:26 am

mrpresident

sandy, you can express your thoughts hun... it is cathardic

5:27 am

herinfernallady

I think sandy would make sailors blush

5:27 am

mrpresident

sh5/14, after coastlined??

5:27 am

sandyloo

i think so too

5:28 am

sandyloo

i feel very violent towards them - but it will be interesting to see what punishments they will receive if they catch anyone

5:28 am

sandyloo

Im sure it wont be enough

5:29 am

herinfernallady

I love the kindness and blind faith of people though. One of the centres which monsqueek (see my icon) is full and they have re directed the goods

5:31 am

mrpresident

sandy, they will receive 25 years for each life... arson laws are upgraded to include homocide for anyone that dies as a result of arson

5:31 am

sandyloo

so they say but these days the justice system seems to fail in so many ways

5:32 am

KristineNas

Mrp ? did you get that sh 5,14 yet ?

5:32 am

sandyloo

i hope they parade them through the streets

5:32 am

mrpresident

let's pray it doesn't

Anyone know the theme for today?

7:05 am

7:05 am

LoriP

Sorry matty, I don't know. sprite's profile has them though!

7:06 am

LoriP

She's a very responsible dog taking you for walks every day.

7:06 am

Atalante

she's a good girl really. we had a lovely time out today. I just felt the need to get away from the house and bum around a beach for a bit. Beaches always calm me

7:07 am

Trifioso

do you have to walk hobbit on a leash when you are at the beach?

7:07 am

mattygroves

cupcakes, apparently

7:07 am

carleekat

i should spend more time at the beach...i have one 5 mins away

7:08 am

7:08 am

LoriP

Great, cupcakes. Now I'm hungry.

7:08 am

7:38 am

carleekat

whens omeone emmigrates to canada and becomes a citizen..they take an oath in a very formal ceremony....those born in canada...do not need to take the oath..but for those who WISH to...can take the oath in an official setting...its a nice little ceremony..we have war veterans coming..other local dignitaries..and some big wigs in ontario girl guiding coming cus I managed to pull all of this off

7:39 am

Trifioso

wow, carlee, good for you!!! I am sure the girls will always remember this

7:39 am

carleekat

bye bye lori

7:39 am

Trifioso

21 to go! fast grid today!

7:39 am

carleekat

well..who can forget a mountie in his red uniform...especially if he's cute...

7:39 am

mrpresident

so you are doing a reaffirmation for the kids??

7:40 am

mrpresident

it was very fast trif! then hit a wall at 12 LOL!! there were fishworthy slaps all round!

7:40 am

carleekat

yeap... the oath actuall is very similar to the promise in guiding....more formally worded..but the gist essentially the same

7:40 am

mrpresident

that is lovely!

7:41 am

Trifioso

mind you, I haven't finished yet...could take me all day to find the last 21

7:41 am

mrpresident

isn't it the way trif?

7:41 am

carleekat

should be great fun... I'm looking forward to it...hmm..I wonder if I can get the legion's pipe and drum band..or is that over the top?

7:41 am

Trifioso

how many girls are you brining, carlee?

7:42 am

carleekat

there will be 16

7:42 am

Trifioso

is that more or less players than in the pipe and drum band?

7:42 am

carleekat

all in uniform..will be great photo op for our MP...

7:42 am

carleekat

about the same

7:42 am

Trifioso

sorry....bringing. Please don't brine the little girls!

7:42 am

carleekat

but the crowd there will be about 80-100

7:43 am

Trifioso

okay. I think maybe it would be okay to ask for the band, then, if you are sure there will be more in the audience than in the band. that always sux

7:43 am

carleekat

( I was kidding on the pipe and drum band..it IS over the top ...)

7:43 am

Trifioso

oh, okay. and of course, here *I* am saying going ahead!

7:44 am

carleekat

hehehe....its ok trifs... canadians tend to be a little less over the top then u yanks... we're used to it :)

7:44 am

Trifioso

SOME yanks, dear. we New Englanders tend to be more reserved than, say, Californians

7:44 am

carleekat

a single piper might be nice tho

7:45 am

carleekat

hmmmmmm I'll have to think on that...when we close we sing taps...a piper or a bugle accompanying us would be cool

7:45 am

Trifioso

that sounds nice, actually.

7:46 am

carleekat

ohh...the thought of that just gave me chills....I'll end up crying like a blubbering fool

7:47 am

carleekat

mind I cry at anything that all sentimental and sappy....I even cry at parades

7:47 am

BabbleRabble

how over the top

7:47 am

Trifioso

a bugle playing it solo would be nice too. we do a nice thing here on memorial day - we have a parade and speeches, and at the end one bugler plays taps in the town square, and another echoes it from a cemetery about 1/4 miles away. it always gives me chills

7:48 am

Trifioso

instead of singing it, you could have a bugler play it

7:48 am

carleekat

i know BR...I just weep on a dime..I used to cry with those old Bell telephone commercials

7:48 am

Trifioso

I am like that too, carlee. my southern friend says we are "sens-tive" with two syllables

7:49 am

has there been a clue for the sh 6/7. If so, could someone reclue it for me, please

7:57 am

Atalante

hi smurshy!

7:57 am

hurshy

h'lo *hug* how are you ata dear?

7:58 am

Atalante

tired and I should be writing an essay but I'm not

7:58 am

hurshy

what's the essay about?

7:59 am

Atalante

you'll regret wanting to know this lol, it's about environment impacts in estuaries, especially in estuarine salt marsh habitats

7:59 am

hurshy

impacts of what? climate change?

7:59 am

Atalante

about mud, basically

8:00 am

Atalante

climate change, land use, human use of the estuary, pollution, you name it

8:00 am

Trifioso

I think that sounds very interesting, ata! what did you find had the biggest impact?

8:00 am

bichon

sounds dirty, Ata

8:00 am

hurshy

everybody loves mud!

8:00 am

Trifioso

we have tons of salt marshes around here, so that is something that we care a lot about in massachusetts

8:01 am

Atalante

it's impossible to say really. salt marshes are very sensitive to sea level changes and changes in the tidal prism - which is the volume of water going through the marshes. other bits of estuaries are sensiive to different things

8:01 am

bichon

got it, nm

8:01 am

Atalante

I love salt marshes. No idea why

8:01 am

Atalante

mud is great!

8:01 am

flosey

could I have a clue for ra5 please

8:01 am

Trifioso

are the marshes near you showing signs of trouble?

8:03 am

Atalante

salt marshes here have been managed for quite a while now, even though they are decreasing in size by about 8% per year. We have issues with grazing, and sea level change

8:03 am

Trifioso

I would say erosion and non-native invasive grasses seem to be the biggest issues here

8:04 am

72 Temple Owl

*sigh* hi everyone

8:04 am

mattygroves

Will I kick myself when I find out what the first ha5/14 is (not the one that is the past tense of rabbitish

8:04 am

Trifioso

TO, are you okay????

8:05 am

Atalante

erosion from man using the marshes? or stronger tides / more water?

8:05 am

Atalante

I have some papers here I think about MA salt marshes

8:06 am

72 Temple Owl

ok...just tried to help bit across the aisle with work and she took a snipe at me.

8:06 am

Atalante

annoying person

8:06 am

Trifioso

not sure, actually. Don't know as much as you do, obviously, as i am not studying marshes, I have read about them in the paper. I think, if I remember, it is global warming effecting the tides, which then changes the tidal prism

8:06 am

Trifioso

bummer TO.

8:06 am

72 Temple Owl

totally selfish fishwife of a woman

8:06 am

just wondered, it's not the sort of thing most ppl know!

massachusetts now has a whole list of plants we are not allowed to plant, as they are so invasive. purple loosetrife, japanese bittersweet, that sort of thing

8:11 am

Atalante

they can't enforce ppl having the plants, but they can darn well stick big fines on you if someone notices

back again. Nan, already had a flu shot this year! But they only work against the known viruses, the big flus. One can still get ill from others... especially when you have a low resistance.

10:01 am

cybernan

since your resistance is low, I'm glad you can get protection for the ones for which there are vaccinations. I realize it is somewhat of a guessing game for the medics.

10:03 am

yes it is, and I am happy I got the shot anyway. There are a whole lot of flus I won't get this year :)

gh6= a gh**kin is a kind of pickle. Add two vowels

4:07 pm

Krista

I know Ata joined about a week before I did...I know others are out there.

4:07 pm

4:07 pm

HarryHood

thanks !

4:08 pm

Krista

Michael, Row the Boat as****, Harry

4:08 pm

Michnick

LOL, Uniquity. No. They actually did sleep, from about 4-6 AM. The idea is to have fun for 48 hours with your classmates to relieve the tension of midterms. I actually like the idea.

4:08 pm

HarryHood

OK - one more question - what should I make for supper?

4:08 pm

Krista
