Mine just represents my Babble Friends and Family all over the Globe :0)

6:00 am

Atalante

I was very impressed with the deep tenor of Spangle's barking, Haz. She was a good woof.

6:01 am

FMitch

Lovely idea Aussie

6:01 am

sandyloo

He looks revolting and I have ordered him to stay away from me- That is very sweet aussie

6:01 am

Aussieme

Thanks FM !

6:01 am

Haz1558

She does, doesn't she?

6:01 am

Aussieme

Awww, Sandy, I have had shingles, not the nicest thing in the world.....

6:02 am

Haz1558

Oh sandy, he's probably in a lot of pain, you must be as sympathetic as possible.

6:02 am

sandyloo

the lesions are around his torso and i told him that if they meet all the way around he will die!!

6:02 am

sandyloo

(I should be a nurse....NOT!!)

6:02 am

Read-Knit-Bake

thx.. So many of you change your icons with such ease. I need to work on how to do that with more ease.

6:02 am

Atalante

she does! Hobbit's woof is distinctly one degree higher. She doesn't have that *woof*

6:02 am

Haz1558

Do you need some lessons in sympathy, sandy? Poor man, you're a holy terror.

6:03 am

sandyloo

read, its fun to change the icon once you get the hang of it

6:03 am

Haz1558

I know, Spangle's bark is quite low and doesn't really go with her otherwise benevolent self.

6:03 am

sandyloo

Aussie did you only get it once?

6:03 am

Aussieme

Yes Sandy..... but it was awful.....

6:04 am

sandyloo

I am trying to be sympathetic but poor Nicky is in a bad way with her shoulder, it looks like she will have to have it fused, it keeps dislocating

6:04 am

FMitch

Anyone seen Lori - last seen in trouble in the outer regions? or near to the PB ?

6:04 am

Atalante

I think FM suggested the bark was so low from laryngitis from cold and damp kennels

6:04 am

sandyloo

I have only so much sympathy left! Lucky im well to take care of everone

6:05 am

Haz1558

So you feel like you're running a home for cr5/22s?

6:05 am

LoriP

***Lori is irritated by a major chat lag here***

6:05 am

suefrad625

My dog molly is having a hard time getting up this AM

6:05 am

sandyloo

LOL haz, i do

6:05 am

Haz1558

Wash out your mouth, FM! That dog is fine and healthy.

6:05 am

FMitch

Awe LoirP(Canada)

6:05 am

suefrad625

She is 13 and went sleding w/the boys yesterday

6:06 am

suefrad625

I thought she was dying, but she just moved a bit

6:06 am

Haz1558

Then she's needing a rest, sue.

6:06 am

sandyloo

What breed is she , Sue

6:06 am

suefrad625

mutt

6:06 am

suefrad625

cocker/terrier

6:06 am

suefrad625

great dog

6:06 am

LoriP

Hey, on the up-side I only have 95 words to go!

6:06 am

suefrad625

75 ehre

6:06 am

sandyloo

I have never been sledding-that would be fun-but no place to sled here!

6:06 am

Haz1558

She may just be stiff and sore from all the activity yesterday.

6:07 am

Haz1558

A bit like FM after her frantic housework.

6:07 am

sandyloo

I have none to go

6:07 am

suefrad625

I figured, I am going to shove a pain pill down her throat

6:07 am

suefrad625

brb

6:07 am

Atalante

the beach this morning was quite chaotic. There was a lady with 4 cockers that barked *continuously*, and then 2 men with a group of 1 cocker, 2 westies, and 2 dachshunds. Mostly all barking continuously too

6:07 am

FMitch

Hello .. flip - thing chat is gone :(

6:07 am

LoriP

***still giggles at the thought of FM having to house clean*** I'd have simpylk given Ata a false address, rented a clean house for the afternoon. :D

6:08 am

sandyloo

At you sound like you live in Dog City

6:08 am

Haz1558

Store that gem up for the next time, FM. Lori has some good ideas.

6:09 am

Atalante

ah but now I *know* where she lives :P

6:09 am

Aussieme

Ok my dear friends, I have to go for a while, so I will bid you all a fond farewell, and see you a little later..... **poof**

6:10 am

Haz1558

Bye Aussieme!

6:10 am

LoriP

See? That was a lack of foresight on FM's part. :D

6:10 am

LoriP

Later Aussie, take care.

6:10 am

Haz1558

Absolutely. We need to send her on a course to improve her strategic planning skills.

6:12 am

LoriP

My neighbor is a wonderful guy, whose home is always tidy. Thus, I'd give his address, and we'd meet there. Everybody has a price...... :p

6:12 am

Atalante

I wonder if she always met me at the local coffee shop before because of swathes of dust at home?

6:12 am

sandyloo

Lori, I just read your profile-it is great!! and how nice is Haz!

6:13 am

Haz1558

(Haz crawls under the desk with ro7/28 cheeks)

6:13 am

LoriP

Thanks sandy. This morning I taught them to spin plates on a stick and make pancakes at the same time.

6:13 am

Atalante

she's VERY nice

6:14 am

sandyloo

That was a lovely thing to do Haz-you cant help being nice

6:14 am

LoriP

Haz is a very thoughtful person, and the world would do well to engage in random acts of kindness!

6:14 am

sandyloo

LOL Lori - are you serious?

6:14 am

suefrad625

She drank a bowl of water and took a pill

6:14 am

suefrad625

I think she is just hurting a bit

6:14 am

Haz1558

Oh, believe me, I'm not all sweetness and light all the time.

6:15 am

suefrad625

caft

6:15 am

sandyloo

Lori-Im getting a stick and a plate!!

6:15 am

Haz1558

Sue, she's quite an elderly dog, some pain relief, a bit of TLC and hopefully she'll be right as rain.

6:15 am

LoriP

Haz is honest, and people are generally used to being told what they want to hear, instead of what is. I'm like her in that way.

6:15 am

sandyloo

and a nice soft bed

6:15 am

suefrad625

I put her in mine

6:16 am

sandyloo

Haz-you hero!!

6:16 am

LoriP

Do it sandy! Of course maybe I fibbed about the pancakes part.... :)

6:16 am

Haz1558

My only concern is that Lori hasn't got the children making pancakes while atop a unicycle. That would be the crowning glory.

6:16 am

suefrad625

Her eyes are bright and the other animals arent acting funny, so I think we are ok

6:16 am

Atalante

while the KoG jumps from pancake to pancake

6:16 am

Read-Knit-Bake

...ah, thanks Sue...your entry created a word

6:16 am

sandyloo

I taught myself to juggle(badly) and i am trying to teach myself to yodel(lol) but hadn't thought of a stick and plate

6:17 am

LoriP

Oooh, a unicycle, that's it! Chainsaws and a unicycle. I like it.

6:17 am

Haz1558

She'll be fine, sue.

6:17 am

LoriP

sue, I'm sure some rest will have her back to her old self in no time.

6:17 am

Haz1558

There's something about a unicycle that's uniquely appealing.

6:17 am

sandyloo

How long should your first stick be?

6:17 am

suefrad625

yw

6:18 am

sandyloo

Unicycle....hmmmmm

6:18 am

LoriP

I would think dive right in with at least a 6 foot stick. May as well challenge 'yerself from the get go.

6:18 am

suefrad625

I believe she will be fine either way. Weather I get to keep her in my house or Gods

6:19 am

sandyloo

oooh Sue, it's hard when they get old

6:19 am

LoriP

Ata, would Uni be upset if I taught them to juggle kittens?

6:19 am

Haz1558

Does the length of the stick not have to be measured relative to the size of the person? I'm sure Ata's grandfather will have come up with the equation.

6:19 am

Atalante

depends whether Emma would expect the same when she gets home, I think

6:19 am

sandyloo

Lol Lori,Im going to try it, I do want a new dinner set.

6:20 am

LoriP

Ata always plans ahead. I hadn't thought of that.

6:20 am

Haz1558

Poor shingles man. Excruciating pain and now dinner plates flying.

6:20 am

sandyloo

I could practice juggling our jack russels but we only have two- hang on! We have a cat too

6:21 am

LoriP

sandy, it's a sure way to get to select that new pattern you've been eyeing.....

6:21 am

LoriP

juggling dogs and cats? I'm impressed.

6:21 am

mrpresident

ooooh, jimmy fallon has taken over Late Night!!! wow!!!

6:21 am

Atalante

how many shed kittens have you got at the moment?

6:21 am

LoriP

Do they fight and hiss whilst airborn?

6:22 am

Haz1558

I think they'd be too surprised to do anything.

6:22 am

LoriP

Ata 4 cats, 2 semi visitors and 1 kitten.

6:22 am

sandyloo

Ours love eachother- better not feed them before the juggling starts

6:22 am

LoriP

Haz, why would they be surprised? Seems all normal to me.

6:22 am

Haz1558

I'll stake my hat on those two semi visitors settling into shed life.

6:23 am

Atalante

that's a good amount to juggle

6:23 am

LoriP

If we add Bobo, Wanda and KofG, I think we've got ourselves some juggling!

6:24 am

LoriP

3 kids juggling 10 cats, some of which are wild. Now I call that talent.

6:25 am

crosshair

in our town we deperatly try to collect all "shed" cats and there are 2 vets wqho offer thier sevice to spay or neuter them then we dont have a pound atm,but we utilize foster families till they are adopted.last time i looked at the list we have over 400 cats up for adoption.we do not encourage "shed living"

6:25 am

Haz1558

If you got a team going, you could have formation animal unicycle juggling. I think Simon Cowell is bound to be interested.

6:25 am

sandyloo

Lori , do you run a shelter for animals?

6:25 am

crosshair

btw morning everyone;)

6:26 am

LoriP

G'd morning cross. No sandy, I'm just a softy with the people that abandon their animals here.

6:26 am

sandyloo

Cross, here in Auss we have an organisation called SAFE which rehomes strays, Diana(icon) is a carer for dogs in Broome and has rehomed quite a few

6:26 am

LoriP

Haz, perhaps synchronized unicycle animal juggling?

6:27 am

sandyloo

while making risotto Haz!

6:27 am

Haz1558

Absolutely, Lori, with fixed smiles all the way.

6:27 am

LoriP

***makes note to sew 3 identical outfits for the boy, they'll love that***

6:28 am

Haz1558

There's that needle and thread word again.

6:28 am

sandyloo

Ihave to go to bed I think and think about spinning plates! so bye for now and take care everyone

6:28 am

LoriP

cross, here we're rural and unfortunately in a spot where strays are often "dumped"

6:29 am

crosshair

:(

6:29 am

Haz1558

Night sandyloo. Give shingles man a sympathetic wave from me.

6:29 am

LoriP

Sleep tight sandy.

6:30 am

crosshair

we are fortunatly in a spot where they are no longer dumped,but we are now in about the 7th generation of feral cats,they are breeding amongst themselves like crazy:(

6:30 am

LoriP

Where the heck did FM go?

6:30 am

bichon

stan is not in the dictionary!

6:30 am

bichon

*satan

6:30 am

Haz1558

So why aren't the feral cats being put down?

6:30 am

crosshair

they dont just up and destroy the cats

6:30 am

LoriP

lol, disappointing isn';t it bichon. G'd morning

6:31 am

bichon

Hi all from the snowy NE US

6:31 am

crosshair

they catch them,fix them and try to adopt them out

6:31 am

Atalante

they should give a cat to each household in the neighbourhood and insist the cats be loved

6:31 am

crosshair

thats what we are working on ata

6:32 am

Haz1558

But if they're truly feral, can they really be made into pets?

6:32 am

crosshair

i mean it would be an easy thing to sit there with a rifle and a scope for an afternoon but not fair to the cats haz

6:32 am

crosshair

yes they can even the 7th gen kitties

6:33 am

LoriP

I know that the kitten in the shed could not be tamed now. She is too wild, a necessary survival skill. IMO

6:33 am

Haz1558

I'm not suggesting that, there are humane methods that can be employed.

6:33 am

crosshair

it takes more work for a feral or semi feral

6:34 am

crosshair

and there are a percentage that cannot be house tamed of course

6:34 am

suefrad625

when I was a little girl, I trained all the wild cats in the building to come when called for feeding

6:34 am

crosshair

they get offered to farmers with barns and acreage

6:34 am

suefrad625

and most, after a while, would let me pet and play with them

6:34 am

suefrad625

but they didnt want to be house pets

6:35 am

crosshair

make great mousers to keep the mice out of the feed;)))

6:35 am

suefrad625

and they love it cross

6:35 am

LoriP

It's a very difficult situation, and not one size fits all. We've never been "overrun". But if I were, I'd act accordingly.

6:36 am

suefrad625

the cats at the barn would leave us tails to show how many they got during the night

6:36 am

Atalante

build a bigger shed?

6:36 am

bichon

Is there a problem with rabies and feral cats?

6:36 am

crosshair

all it takes is people to be more resonsible with thier cats

6:36 am

suefrad625

lol

6:36 am

crosshair

lol sue,we had a cat who did that

6:36 am

suefrad625

you know, most humane societys would give you cages to catch them and spay and neuter them for free

6:36 am

crosshair

lucily not at this time bichon

6:37 am

LoriP

Exactly Ata! :)

6:37 am

suefrad625

and give them shots

6:37 am

Atalante

:D

6:37 am

crosshair

we have 3 ladies who offer thier time to our humane society who drive around and set up kitty traps

6:39 am

suefrad625

ro/8 ?

6:40 am

Haz1558

I think that is where I get confused. If you accept that there are feral cats who can live a normal life, then leave them to it. If they are breeding out of control and are not able to get enough food etc, becoming sick, then why not cull responsibly rather than insisting that feral cats become domestic cats? I'm not arguing for or against, just asking the question.

6:41 am

Haz1558

ro7/28 - meaning 'pink'. Follow a flower with 'consumed food'

6:41 am

Atalante

I think a lot of ppl get squeamish about culling any animal, let alone "cute kitties"

6:41 am

suefrad625

ty

6:42 am

Haz1558

That figures, Ata.

6:42 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, sue.

6:43 am

LoriP

That is true Ata, but if they are not healthy animals. kittens, cats, deer, whatever, then it's a bad situation. Cute dosn't factor in for me, but for many it does. I can't stand to see animals suffer, cute or not.

6:44 am

bichon

co*?

6:44 am

Atalante

I agree, Lori, but I don't think many people see the strays as in pain / hurt / ill / etc. They see them as cute kitties

6:44 am

bichon

co8?

6:45 am

Haz1558

I supppose the problem is knowing when to interfere and when to leave alone. Nature is pretty harsh in ensuring that the sick and the old don't survive.

6:46 am

Haz1558

co8.50 co, three letters meaning dry, (think coconut), finish with the picnic pest.

6:47 am

bichon

sorry, don't get the dry part?

6:47 am

LoriP

I've seen that here with my own eyes Haz, and nature ensures survival of the fittest, but I also reiterate we are in no way "overrun". I try not to intefere by overtaming, so they maintain their skills, and I do not interfere with the kittens in any way. They survive on their own merit, even though it's hard.

6:47 am

crosshair

read back haz,we are just trying to stop the cycle is all,a feral cat community even a healty balanced one is not natural in our climate for example it is -26 c atm

6:48 am

Haz1558

Sorry, bichon, try for part or ***tion, then follow with the rest.

6:50 am

bichon

ty Haz, finally got it with your help

6:50 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, bichon.

6:51 am

gramma

Timing was perfect. I got it too. ty

6:51 am

mama2maddie

cocatant

6:51 am

mama2maddie

oops

6:51 am

crosshair

after you have scraped up 15 or 20 frozen cats on a property next door with a derilict house and shed,its better to catch them and break the cycle

6:51 am

Atalante

nearly!

6:52 am

crosshair

anyways enough of that lets kick this grids butt:)

6:52 am

LoriP

G'd morning gramma

6:53 am

Uniquity

Emma would be a feral cat if I hadn't taken her first...I don't think that trying to convince people to adopt *every* cat is always the best option, as, in my community at least, there are already to many not being housed and being put down as a result.

6:53 am

LoriP

I think it's a good subject, but it's as always, controversial.

6:53 am

Atalante

uniiiiiii!

6:53 am

Haz1558

Hello Uni!

6:53 am

LoriP

***chat lag is makin' me crazy(ier)***

6:53 am

Atalante

good topics always tend to be controversial

6:54 am

LoriP

G'd morning Uni!!!!!

6:54 am

Uniquity

I still can't get anything to work well on babble. I am exhausted with my babble issues. And good morning all!

6:54 am

Haz1558

But it's worth airing, Lori. We'll not all agree about everything - except about George, of course.

6:54 am

Atalante

*hugs uni muchly and has to run off to be productive*

6:54 am

Atalante

back later!

6:55 am

LoriP

lol Haz. How is George?

6:55 am

Uniquity

((except Lori doesn't care to much for George)) :D

6:55 am

LoriP

Ata???? Productive? Jeez, my image of you is crushed! Have fun ....

6:55 am

Haz1558

I'm sure he's fine.

6:55 am

crosshair

during the winter months at my work,my dumpster always had 3 or 4 dead cats in it from next door.o collected them so the kids walking to school wouldnt see them.so im all for catching ,fixing adopting and breaking the cycle.ok im dont venting my speen now;)

6:55 am

crosshair

spleen even

6:56 am

crosshair

darn typos..whiteout!

6:56 am

Uniquity

I am all for the adoption as well. That makes two of us. The many others that DON'T adopt or can't adopt are what makes that inefficient at times. Most of our cats have been rescued from people who let their cat get pregnant, didn;t want them anymore and dumped them in the middle of a road. A ROAD.

6:56 am

LoriP

Typos R' Us crossy :p

6:57 am

crosshair

lol lori

6:57 am

Haz1558

It's a question of supply and demand. There is too great a supply of cats for the demand.

6:58 am

crosshair

like i say,its slow work.we have over 400 on the waiting lists right now

6:58 am

LoriP

Here, the organizations that are well intended, make one feel like a criminal OR it's simply cost prohibitive to "do the right thing" for spaying/neutering. Very little trust

6:58 am

Uniquity

And then you get into the situation of vets that gouge people on costs (such as 400 bucks to get my kitten fixed).

6:59 am

Haz1558

Don't talk to me about vets.

6:59 am

crosshair

each in town house hold is allowed 2 dogs or 3 cats per the by law..the humane society charges 75 dollars for a adopted fixed kitty and the vet picks up the rest

6:59 am

Uniquity

Sorry hunny, I mean the bad ones!

7:00 am

Haz1558

Oh, sure they're all scoundrels, Uni. It's well known.

7:00 am

crosshair

lol im reading james herriot as we speak;))

7:01 am

Haz1558

He was to blame for the huge upsurge in people wanting to be vets.

7:01 am

crosshair

well that was in the 30,s im sure the "surge" has eased off by now;)

7:02 am

Haz1558

It's the most oversubscribed course in the UK.

7:02 am

crosshair

arthur haily made me want to be a pilot when i was young:))

7:02 am

Uniquity

Perhaps I should have taken Emma to Crossy's humane society and then bought her from them. Would have been money in.

7:02 am

Haz1558

He didn't publish the books until the 70s, don't forget.

7:02 am

LoriP

The $400 Uni quoted, is no exageration. That is cost prohibitive, IMO and counter productive.

7:02 am

crosshair

your right haz,point for you;)

7:03 am

Haz1558

I learned a lot from those books.

7:03 am

crosshair

if everyone only bought foster kittys,them it would be a non issue..at least round here..75 dillars is a bargain!

7:03 am

LoriP

Books will get ya' nowhere! :)

7:04 am

crosshair

yes but your going nowhere in style lori:)

7:04 am

Haz1558

Nowhere - unless you juggle them while atop a unicycle.

7:05 am

Haz1558

So, off I must go to get a paper. Good to talk to you! Bye for now.....

7:05 am

crosshair

everytime i read his books,it make me want to move back to the "auld" country :)

7:05 am

LoriP

Saw them in half, in the air, on a unicycle, with running chainsaws!

7:06 am

LoriP

Laters Haz. Take care. ***wonders why I have 87 words left to find***

7:06 am

HarryHood

29 found...gonna be tough to get to 50% today

7:06 am

crosshair

blame it on the cats lori

7:07 am

HarryHood

oh well...bbl

7:08 am

LoriP

Nah,, I'll blame it on FM wherever she is.

7:08 am

Uniquity

Not at my house, having tea. :(

7:08 am

crosshair

she has been scarce of late

7:09 am

LoriP

She was on earlier, so it's definitely her fault.

7:14 am

Okay, totally not focused here a't'all, so gonna wander off and look for markdowns. Later gators.

Une, I am going to see Blithe Spirit with Angela Lansbury March 18th

8:02 am

8:02 am

Uneaixoise

8:02 am

EvaNadine

acorn, corn, scorn, score, escort, anchorshore, short, shorn.....
so many phantoms!

8:02 am

oh Annie, how nice, Angela Lansbury was another great actress

8:02 am

Anniebrook

Yes, I cant wait

8:02 am

flosey

AH, and Maggie Smith, she was great

8:03 am

Anniebrook

I loved Maggie Smith in the movie Tea with Mussolini

8:04 am

Anniebrook

Judi Dench was in it also...2 greats

8:04 am

Uneaixoise

and saw Eileen Atkins in A Room of One's Own at the Lamb's Theatre years ago . . . terrific

8:04 am

flosey

ah yes, loved Judi Dench

8:04 am

flosey

watched her in all the "As Time Goes By" tv shoes

8:05 am

Anniebrook

Une, I would have loved to have seen A Room of One's Own

8:05 am

flosey

**shows** too

8:05 am

Uneaixoise

it was such a thrill, annie -- that theatre is so small -- love that kind of intimacy -- just hynotizing

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

*hypnotizing

8:06 am

Anniebrook

does anyone have a clue for the co8?

8:06 am

flosey

fingers aren't awake yet, not typing as they're told

8:06 am

Uneaixoise

8:06 am

flosey

not me Annie but that's right where I am, also need the co5 before it

8:06 am

Anniebrook

Une, the beaumont at lincoln center is just like that. I saw Patti Lupone in Anything Goes there and it was just thrilling

8:07 am

Uneaixoise

I saw that same production!! Maybe we were in the same room! Lincoln Center's also where I saw Stockard Channing in Six Degrees of Separation

8:08 am

Angelsong

morning, all. for a wonder, I'm happy to see a small grid. I got a later than usual start today.

8:08 am

Anniebrook

Une, It could have been..you never know

8:08 am

Uneaixoise

(altho a small room is barely able to contain Patti Lupone's ego . . . snicker snicker)

8:08 am

Anniebrook

hi angel...tough grid..perhaps not for you

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

you know who I really miss, Annie? Spalding Gray . . . saw every monogue he performed . . . so tragic

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

*monologue

8:09 am

Anniebrook

Une, Patti Lupone does have a large ego..just saw her in a revival of Gypsy and she owned the show

8:09 am

Uneaixoise

i heard it was GREAT

8:10 am

Anniebrook

Une, Wasnt Spalding Gray wonderful..yes, quite tragic

8:10 am

Anniebrook

Une, Gyspy was OKAY not great, IMHO

8:11 am

Alleyn

Third letter of ro7 please........

8:11 am

Uneaixoise

see?! that's so frustrating -- with the price of good seats, it just kills me to see an "okay" production . . .

8:12 am

Uneaixoise

ro7 starts with a ro** is a ro** is a ro**

8:12 am

Anniebrook

Une, I cant afford the prices they are asking now so now I see few plays but I must see certain plays

8:13 am

Uneaixoise

i totally understand . . . would love to see many of the short run dramas but they often don't coincide with my yearly trip . . . altho with the economy like it is, I may (sniff sniff) not be able to make it this year

8:13 am

Alleyn

une - that's too subtle

8:14 am

nrkii

bye ts, thank you!

10:45 am

Judi

UHG! Hate it when you get those interviewers. I once went to a third interview with some company (same guy each time). I was figuring the third interview was the charm, when he stated, " I usually interview people five or six times". I was stunned. I thought, here's a guy who should not be interviewing people. He can't make up his damn mind.

10:45 am

nrkii

5 or 6 times??? that is insane

10:46 am

welsh bookworm

hi there, how you doing with the grid today? I've just got 3 left and can't see the flippin' things at all grrr

10:46 am

10:46 am

nrkii

hi bookworm

10:46 am

nrkii

I'm down to last one

10:46 am

Judi

It is! In the third interview we talked about what books I liked to read. I named several classic novels... he hadn't heard of a single one. Fortunately, I wasn't that desperate for a job then, so I did not return his phone calls after that.

10:46 am

welsh bookworm

72 Temple Owl

10:50 am

nrkii

surprising... my cousin in Atlanta got 8 inches, and I think we got less than that

10:50 am

Judi

We have about 9" here. Hubby "worked from home yesterday" and shoveled out the driveway. Fortunately, most of it was fluff.

10:50 am

sprite

literally it was true. He did work from home

10:51 am

Judi

Poor Georgians probably didn't know what hit them.

10:51 am

72 Temple Owl

Skeg

gee you poor people - here in Cape Town South Africa we are having temps of 32 deg Celcius - not sure how much tht is in F

10:52 am

nrkii

too hot for me Skeg

10:52 am

Judi

Our poor little snow drops and crocuses are toast now.

10:53 am

nrkii

100 c = 212 f, so formula is C times 1.8 + 32, I think!

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

hey i need 43 with few prospects at the moment...is this grid that hard?

10:53 am

Judi

Helluva lot warmer than on the east coast of USA, Skeg!

10:53 am

it's kind of tough TO, but not horrible

10:53 am

72 Temple Owl

72 Temple Owl

11:02 am

LeslieAnn

11:02 am

72 Temple Owl

I think French might be what you are thinking of, cuz my mom often refers to her elderly aunts as M't***

11:02 am

tragicstud

french

11:02 am

Judi

You should get a healthy sum for any gold, TO. I keep telling my girlfriend to hock her diamond ring from her ex-husband. She's such a klingon.

hello, what about selling silver flatware?

11:03 am

Aussieme

Ok, am back again..... Sorry, had to go and see to Georgia's dinner.... She was shouting she was hungry !

11:04 am

nrkii

no sentimental value, and I didn't keep the receipt -- he actually gave me the gift receipt with the bracelet!

11:04 am

Aussieme

hey Peri !

11:04 am

periwinkle

not getting the na6 clue

11:04 am

72 Temple Owl

hi peri. the reseller takes one third so it would be nice to do it yourself

11:04 am

nrkii

peri, not sure... usually what I do is look on eBay and see whether the things in that category are selling, and how much they're going for

11:04 am

Judi

Hi, Peri. Not sure about silver flatware. There are collectors out there, but I don't think the demand is very high right now.

11:05 am

nrkii

na + cons + picnic pest

11:05 am

periwinkle

ok, need to check e-bay. never sold anything there.e-bay makes me nervous :D

11:05 am

nrkii

peri, I'd sell it for you on ebay for a very small fee if you wanted

11:05 am

periwinkle

finally got the right consonant, thanks nrkii

11:05 am

nrkii

we'd have to figure out logistics, but it's not like I'm too busy!

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

nrk let me know how you make out. i bought bracelet when gold was cheaper not heavy but did not even remove tag

11:06 am

periwinkle

I may take you up on that nrkii. maybe we can get together sometime soon

11:06 am

Aussieme

We have sold a few things on ebay..... Never had a problem selling, and only one problem buying.....

11:06 am

periwinkle

I am not too busy either

11:06 am

nrkii

my brother does that for people, and he charges 50% of first 10 dollars and 10% after that, or something similar

11:06 am

72 Temple Owl

lol i am busy but i couldn't tell you why LOL

11:07 am

72 Temple Owl

that is very reasonable. does he photograph them and all

11:07 am

nrkii

peri, I'll check out silver flatware today and see if it's moving at all

11:07 am

nrkii

he does ALL the work TO

11:07 am

nrkii

he even goes through people's attics for them

11:07 am

nrkii

he's a maniac

11:08 am

Judi

I've had good experiences with E-Bay. My only advice would be, sign up for Pay Pal and NEVER accept personal checks.

11:08 am

periwinkle

nrkii, would you please e-mail and I can tell you what I have

11:08 am

nrkii

but he's made pretty good money from it

11:08 am

nrkii

he won't go through my attic, because he knows I don't have anything valuable LOL

11:08 am

nrkii

sure peri

11:08 am

sprite

good advice, Judi

11:08 am

Aussieme

lol Nrk !! I like that !

11:08 am

Aussieme

Spritey !!

11:08 am

72 Temple Owl

wow something to consider. meantime i guess i should get on the site to do research on prices.

11:09 am

Judi

Wow! What fun. I would love to plunder other people's attics. Get paid to be no4/4y!

11:09 am

periwinkle

I may need your brother's help as well, nrkii. Need to get rid of some furniture. thinking of moving to a smaller place. Does he live nearby?

11:09 am

Aussieme

Yes judi, never accept personal cheques, and Paypal is always the way to go......

11:09 am

sprite

Aussie :) *hugs*

11:09 am

nrkii

no, he lives up in Connecticut, but there are people around who can do that

11:10 am

Aussieme

Love to see you here Sprite.... How are things ?

11:10 am

nrkii

a lot of it also depends on how eager you are to get rid of things, and how low you're willing to go on prices

11:10 am

periwinkle

I don't know of anyone near me, do you, nrkii?

11:10 am

nrkii

peri, I might be able to help with that too... depends on timing and the type of furniture

11:10 am

sprite

rotten atm, actually, but on the right track still. How are you?

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

peri there is a service but i don't know if they pick it up. i can send you the info. the office i visited was up in warminster.

11:11 am

if you are trying to get rid of large antiques, and you have to move them fast, that's tricky

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

bye sprite hi stid

11:11 am

periwinkle

Owl, most companies refuse to come up any steps. There are only 7 steps to my floor and the stairwell is wide with a wall only on one side, but they will not bend

11:12 am

torgone

It stinks

11:12 am

craigs' list makes me more nervous than e-bay :D

I got rid of furniture on Craig's list, but there are definite risks

11:13 am

periwinkle

not quite antiques but some of the furnite is 35-40 years old

11:13 am

Judi

TOR!

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

just speaking with a friend yesterday who cannot sell a 4 yr old kitchen set. no offers. and even charities are picky about what they accept.

11:13 am

nrkii

I got rid of 2 couches and a futon in about 2 hours

11:13 am

periwinkle

what were the risks, nrkii

11:13 am

72 Temple Owl

weren't you afraid to let strangers in?

11:14 am

nrkii

I had people come to my house to pick up the furniture, and I'm single, and so there's always a risk you're dealing with a psycho

11:14 am

periwinkle

I don't want strangers in my place

11:14 am

Judi

Don't you live near a University, TO? Put a notice on a bulletin board. Some frat boys will come get that furniture in a heartbeat I bet.

11:14 am

nrkii

yep, that's the problem with Craig's list

11:14 am

Aussieme

Nrk..... borrow a dog when that happens !

11:14 am

Aussieme

a big, huge dog !

11:14 am

nrkii

ooh, good advice Aussie, or borrow a man....

11:14 am

LeslieAnn

or a man with a dog!

11:15 am

peri, I sent you a message through FB

aussie! cait! how do I make a hard boiled egg?

12:04 pm

hurshy

i'm stupid, sheesh

12:04 pm

caitlyn

10/15 minutes will do it Ata.....

12:04 pm

hurshy

you want to bring the water not to a rolling boil, but just barely bubbles, i know that.

12:04 pm

fuquayvarina

Put egg in cold water, bring it to a boil. Shut off the heat and let it sit for 15 minutes. Cool it off with cold water. Ta da!

12:05 pm

Aussieme

Ata, 8 minutes is the perfect hard boiled egg, according to wikipedia !

12:05 pm

Atalante

yay! ty all!

12:05 pm

hurshy

i thought 8 was soft boiled?

12:06 pm

caitlyn

How many eggs are you doing?

12:06 pm

hurshy

i made them once - it took longer than it said it would.

12:06 pm

Atalante

2 I think

12:06 pm

fuquayvarina

what's the other so6, besides the music?

12:06 pm

Aussieme

There are several theories as to the proper technique of hard-boiling an egg. One method is to bring water to a boil and cook for eight minutes. So says Wikipedia

12:06 pm

Atalante

see why I asked? it's complicated!

12:06 pm

Atalante

so6 = not a daughter + worker

12:07 pm

movieman

clue for the candle holder?

12:07 pm

fuquayvarina

ty, ata!

12:07 pm

hurshy

but if you cook it at a gentler boil for longer, they are less likely to bump and crack each other and leak not-yet-cooked-egg

12:07 pm

caitlyn

The same time then, Ata for the cooking, if you were doing more it takes a bit longer

12:07 pm

Aussieme

sc + word for just the one time

12:07 pm

Haz1558

Put vinegar in the water to prevent egg white leeching out.

12:07 pm

that's why I like the "turn it off" method -- less cracking

Yes, Lizsark - a Labrador's a handfull! My little girl can be, and she resembles one a bit, only she's quite small. Not sure what she is - mongrel adopted from a shelter. Whippet is definite - other breeds are anyone's guess, but I suspect some poodle.

3:08 pm

Oscar? A Handful? Never!!!!! LOL LOL LOL

Atalante

we tired out a Jack Russell. She slept for about 6 hours solid

3:25 pm

Lizsark

Umm....well I can't say he does sleep much! But the snores imply that when he does it is sound and guilt free sleep!

3:25 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA, Lizsark - you should see the things my sister's Alsatian has destroyed when he was younger. He tore apart a settee once, when they were out for a while! An expensive one, at that . . .

3:25 pm

Lizsark

I could use a few hints Ata! I can't wait for you to meet him!

3:25 pm

Lizsark

...talk of the devill....

3:25 pm

Atalante

I can't wait either! and I soooo want you to meet Hobbit

3:25 pm

J. C.

You tired out a Jack Russel, Atalante? Goodness - how'd you manage that? I didn't think those dogs ever tired out?!

3:26 pm

Lizsark

A settee pffft!!! Oscar can do better than that!!!

3:26 pm

J. C.

Erm, OK - what's Oscar destroyed in his time?

3:26 pm

J. C.

I'll bet she is, Lizsark - Cockers and Springers are lovely dogs! :) As is my littler girl - I get asked all the time what 'breed' she is, even though she's a mongrel. She's a very pretty one - very sweet face.

3:34 pm

J. C.

Erm - 'little' girl. Excuse my typing, please!

3:34 pm

J. C.

She looks like a very small, fine-boned Labrador, sort of - solid black except a tiny white streak on her chest. Smooth-coated . . .

3:35 pm

Atalante

awww! how lovely!

3:35 pm

Lizsark

Oscar has a tiny white bit on his chest too

3:35 pm

Atalante

so does hobbit :)

3:36 pm

Lizsark

If I can work out how to get the pics off a disc and onto flickr theres a piccy I must show you

3:37 pm

J. C.

Oscar does, Liz? Is he pure Labrador? Usually they don't have any white, do they?

3:38 pm

J. C.

My little girl's definitely part Whippet - her mother was a Whippet-cross, her father's completely unknown. From the shape of her head and paws, and the intelligence she has and other characteristics, I suspect she's got some Poodle in her - which may account for her being nearly solid black.

3:39 pm

J. C.

She's quite small - sits on my lap a lot. Not tiny, though - definitely bigger than toy-sized. More like Spaniel sized, yes - that would be about right.

3:40 pm

Lizsark

Yes he's 100% labrador with an enormous pedigree to show for it. He's from French show lines. They shouldn't have whitereally but the breed standard says a few white hairs on the chest are permissable (apparently!)

3:40 pm

Lizsark

Sits on your lap! Good grief! Oscar would squash me...

3:41 pm

Lizsark

there have a look at my profile now :)))

3:41 pm

Atalante

did Scully sit on your lap?

3:42 pm

Lizsark

oh god yes Ata! All the time :)

3:42 pm

Atalante

awwwwwwww :) cockers are great size for cuddling

3:42 pm

Atalante

OSCAR! baby Oscar!!

3:43 pm

Lizsark

She was perfect :) Even when she got sick and incontinent she sat on my knee (with a waterproof backed blanket lol)

3:43 pm

Lizsark

how cute was he then Ata?

3:43 pm

Atalante

adorably cute!! and look what he grew up into!!

3:44 pm

Atalante

darling Scully :)

3:45 pm

Lizsark

I'm looking at the hundreds of puppy photos on this disk. Right from birth up to when he came over to me......I think I need a new puppy....

3:46 pm

Atalante

awwwww!

3:46 pm

Atalante

whereas strangely enough, hobbit wasn't a pretty puppy. she was gangly and dorky

3:47 pm

Atalante

and grew into herself at about 2

3:47 pm

Uniquity

Hush! Hobbit might hear you say she was gangly. Poor girl.

3:48 pm

Lizsark

Ah!!! I dont believe she wasn't pretty!!

3:48 pm

Atalante

lol I'm sure she knows she was!

3:49 pm

Uniquity

But it's all about the creature, :) Emma isn't that cute at all, but I always tell her she is the prettiest girl in the world.

3:49 pm

Atalante

ok, maybe she was pretty, but she's definitely got prettier as she's grown up. she was really bullied by our other cocker when we had him. when he died, almost overnight hobbit just *bloomed*

3:51 pm

Lizsark

That is what happened to Scully after we lost Sasha

3:51 pm

Uniquity

Babble often makes me almost wish I had the space and time for a puppy. I've never had one, but other peoples dogs often get attached to me and I to them.

3:51 pm

Lizsark

She was so overshadowed by Sash that we never saw her personality till she was on her own

3:51 pm

Lizsark

Uni you can be a honorary Oscar-Mum if you like :))

3:51 pm

Atalante

ditto hobbit. jake was a little thug. a brain-damaged little thug. who was also the prettiest cocker in the world

3:52 pm

Lizsark

Sorry Ata, Sasha was the prettiest!!!! :P

3:52 pm

Uniquity

I could be a godmother or something...

3:52 pm

Lizsark

or a dogmother lol

3:53 pm

Lizsark

Ossie is dreaming right now. He's making funny little squeaky noises! So maybe he does sleep sometimes...

3:54 pm

Atalante

3:55 pm

No offense Ata, but I prefer my Jake! Much smaller but very nice. :)

3:55 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Hi there, torgone! How are you today?

3:56 pm

Atalante

lol :)

3:56 pm

torgone

Heya peachy .. I'm all right

3:57 pm

Lizsark

Very handsome Ata :) Now look at my profile again :)

3:57 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Good. I don't know where you are but I am looking at over a foot of snow. Wishing for spring.

3:57 pm

Atalante

awwwwwwwwwww

3:57 pm

torgone

I won't tell you what I'm looking at then ..

3:58 pm

Lizsark

She had a coat that we always described as liquid gold...until she was neutered...

3:59 pm

Uniquity

Oh my...so adorable. I miss the gorgeous chcocolate lab I used to encounter on my way to work. I should be a dogwalker for money!

3:59 pm

Atalante

awwwwwwwww. she and jake did look very similar

4:00 pm

Lizsark

Thats what my son would like given half a chance Uni :) A chocolate lab friend for Ossie

4:00 pm

gapeach1066@yaho

Dog is damanding to go out...back in afew.

4:00 pm

Atalante

2 mad labs!

4:01 pm

Lizsark

and 1 mad owner?

4:01 pm

Uniquity

To be fair, it just looks like a choc lab, dunno if it has a pedigree. I've never had anything pure, and never would unless it was a rescue dog or something.

4:02 pm

Lizsark

we fostered a rescue springer for a bit once Uni - put me ri8ght off the whole rescue business! At least until the kids are grown up

4:03 pm

Uniquity

Reminiscent of this morning's convo, lol.

4:05 pm

Atalante

who was fostering dogs this morning?

4:05 pm

Lizsark

right - I'm off to bed now, got a good book I want to finish and, no, its not Marley & Me lol

4:06 pm

Uniquity

Sadly, I've not got a good book on the go. Enjoy though,Liz!!

4:07 pm

Lizsark

I'm never without a book Uni :) Have fun all :)

4:07 pm

J. C.

Sorry - was away from the computer for a little while.

4:07 pm

Lizsark

4:08 pm

Oh, I've got the books, just not good ones. Well, okay ones. Bye!

ca5/18: plural of a place to eat out

7:55 pm

pam

pl, forward

7:55 pm

7:55 pm

DR1965

7:55 pm

I am literally laughing out loud, red

7:55 pm

7:56 pm

DR1965

OMG_ What a great chog

7:56 pm

hmmmm... wondering why one would need a rectal temp to determine a patient was dead...

7:56 pm

BlueAndAmy

oh wait that labor one is not what i'm laughing at

7:56 pm

BlueAndAmy

the dead rectal one

7:56 pm

Scrabbler

So did she deliver the baby at your hospital or did you ship her out?

7:56 pm

pam

I am being stiff-armed by my laughter

7:56 pm

DR1965

my son just asked why I am laughing

7:56 pm

redturtlehead

Oh no, We just have to document the temp. No delivery.

7:56 pm

redturtlehead

Sent her out, first baby so she was not dilating quickly, but....it came a little close.

7:57 pm

DR1965

poor thing

7:57 pm

kje

you have to document the temp on a dead body??? no effin' way!

7:57 pm

stidgmere

This is NOT funny but I am laughing. What a day some of our dear babblers have had. I only had a toilet not working and a husband very angry at the plumbing book.

7:57 pm

Scrabbler

Or you can document a pH of 6.0 in a very dead appearing person

7:57 pm

tygerbryght

well, peeps. I need to duck out. time to think about food. later, all

7:57 pm

torgone

He would have to be dead to get his temp. taken that way ..

7:58 pm

redturtlehead

I mean who wants to deliver in an ER with a patient under custody about 200 feet away. Stidg...it isnt funny, but....

7:58 pm

Scrabbler

LOL, torgone

7:58 pm

kje

how about.... no pulse no breathing... dead

7:58 pm

BlueAndAmy

haha stidgmere i'm picturing a scene similar to the one in "A Christmas Story" where the dad is fighting with the furnace and you can hear him through the vent with the smoke...

8:01 pm

CiociaJudy

LOL stid's Mom

8:02 pm

torgone

They have stopped being challenging ..

8:02 pm

redturtlehead

Oh we drew no blood, but we did do a temp, just to add to documentation, because technically we was supposed to be PEA,, but in actuality he was just dead...MD called it immediately, so we wanted to document that he was stiff cold and had no PEA.

8:02 pm

Scrabbler

We don't want to make them alive again because we know what type of life is ahead

8:02 pm

kje

yep tor... the family's can be challenging, but usually, they get pretty easy at that point

8:02 pm

CiociaJudy

I have 2 sa's, 5 sc's, 6 se's, 3 so's

8:04 pm

8:05 pm

redturtlehead

temp to prove he was cold, not that he had no PEA.

8:05 pm

8:05 pm

CiociaJudy

ty Tor got it
