3:28 am

Atalante

lucky oscar!

3:28 am

Lizsark

Its gorgeous here, it was too nice to stay in bed

3:29 am

Atalante

gorgeous here too! but it was hard to get up with Silverclaw lounging on my stomach - she's so scaredy and aloof that any time she actually comes and relaxes on me, i try and let her stay for a while

3:29 am

Lizsark

ahhhhh :)

3:29 am

Atalante

so I read for an hour :)

3:30 am

Lizsark

Os is sulking now coz it means he gets his breakfast late if we walk early

3:30 am

Lizsark

oo what you reading?

3:30 am

Atalante

oh noes! what a trauma!

3:30 am

Atalante

Matter by Iain M Banks. Bit of a strange departure for me cos I don't normally like pure sci-fi

3:31 am

Lizsark

I just finished Barack Obama's book last night and am onto White Tiger now :)

3:31 am

Atalante

nearly finished Matter, then I'm going to have a trashy few days of reading Robin Cook and best friend's latest book

3:32 am

Lizsark

lol

3:32 am

Atalante

then I'm going to drag myself back into Rossetti's biography. Which is about a million pages long

3:32 am

lynxxx

I'm off...have a lovely day all of you

3:32 am

Lizsark

Oh DoG look at the time. I have to go. Don't work for myself on a Tuesday can't be late!

Atalante

3:40 am

redturtlehead

4:17 am

oodleberry

hi everyone G'day Mrp hi red :D

4:23 am

oodleberry

anyone there?

4:26 am

fuquayvarina

morning, oodle. still there?

4:26 am

oodleberry

yup

4:27 am

oodleberry

how are you fuq

4:27 am

fuquayvarina

this seems to be a quiet time in Babbleland. The brits have gone off for their walks and their jobs, and the yanks aren't up yet

4:27 am

fuquayvarina

I'm well, other than having gotten up too early

4:27 am

fuquayvarina

how about you?

4:27 am

oodleberry

but but but the aussies are ...

4:28 am

oodleberry

I'm getting motivated to go work out

4:28 am

fuquayvarina

I'm still trying to figure out what time it is for the aussies

4:28 am

fuquayvarina

does babble help with that? doesn't seem to work that way for me...

4:29 am

oodleberry

12-14 hours ahead of us... well east coast time anyway

4:30 am

oodleberry

so about 8 am is there bed time... some stay on because of the two hour time dif there

4:31 am

fuquayvarina

so maybe the aussies are watching TV at this hour, or helping kids with homework, or whatever

4:31 am

oodleberry

correct

4:32 am

fuquayvarina

OK, maybe I've got it now. not that I'll remember

4:33 am

fuquayvarina

how do you like this grid? seems to me it's a bit of a stinker, for a small one

4:33 am

oodleberry

seems a bit hard.. but all of them do for me

4:34 am

fuquayvarina

seems like it must have a lot of "words" in it, because there hardly seem to be any real words

4:35 am

fuquayvarina

on the positive side, I did just finally get two 6 letter de words

4:36 am

oodleberry

kewel wtg

4:37 am

fuquayvarina

you're in eastern CA somewhere, right?

4:38 am

oodleberry

quebec city

4:39 am

fuquayvarina

cool. I've never actually been up there, despite growing up in New Hampshire, not all that far away. I've been to PEI and Nova Scotia, and a little of New Brunswick, and driven across Ontario, but never made it to Quebec.

4:41 am

BabbleRabble

english signs still verboten in Quebec?

4:42 am

fuquayvarina

hi br!

4:43 am

BabbleRabble

hello, fuquay

4:43 am

fuquayvarina

guess oodle is buried in the grid

4:43 am

oodleberry

PEI is nice... my mother and I visited the maritime provinces at the end of spring, including NS, NB and the Magdelein Island...if it is a national park it is bilingual... but most of the time they are in french, yes I think so BR

4:44 am

fuquayvarina

what time of year would be a good time to see Quebec, oodle?

4:44 am

J. C.

Aren't we all, fuq? ;)

4:45 am

fuquayvarina

Morning, JC!

4:45 am

fuquayvarina

Nice to see you've gone pro!

4:46 am

oodleberry

if you like the cold I would come when they have their Winter Carnaval about end of Jan beginning FEB, if not end of March til about Oct

4:46 am

LoriP

G'd Morning Babblers!

4:47 am

oodleberry

hi lori

4:47 am

fuquayvarina

Do you have a black-fly season up there? Northern NH could be misery in late May or so.

4:47 am

fuquayvarina

Morning, Lori!

4:47 am

LoriP

***snickers at the mere mention of blackfly season...***

4:47 am

oodleberry

dunno... not a fisherman

4:48 am

oodleberry

I think I scare the fish away instead of lure them in... even if I have the best lure or bait on line

4:49 am

fuquayvarina

my husband is a big outdoor guy, not a fisherman, but hiker and botanist, so if we visit Quebec, it will involve camping and outdoor stuff. bugs are very important to know about...

4:49 am

J. C.

Morning, fuq - and thank you! :)

4:49 am

fuquayvarina

Lori, why are you snickering?

4:51 am

LoriP

fuq, because Black-fly season is evil all across N.A. ****shh, they're listening***

4:51 am

J. C.

In that case Lori, you can have - and keep them! :P

4:52 am

oodleberry

N.A.?

4:54 am

LoriP

N.A. = North America

4:54 am

LoriP

22 left after the first sweep. Now the poopy part I s'pose.

4:55 am

fuquayvarina

actually, only far northern NA, Lori. south of the northernmost states in the US, they've never heard of black flies

4:55 am

oodleberry

why is it evil lori.... are the like horse flies damn they hurt because they bite

4:57 am

LoriP

Aha! You can extend that ac 5. Found the 8

4:57 am

J. C.

Yes, Lori! ;)

4:57 am

fuquayvarina

black flies are evil because they swarm all around your face, get in your eyes, get up your nose, in your ears, down your neck, etc. Drive you completely batty. Also some people are allergic to their bites

4:57 am

LoriP

That's interesting fuq. Oodle, they're just a nuisance as far as I'm concerned.

4:59 am

oodleberry

ok ty, was just wondering... I will not be going fishing, then, anytime soon eh

4:59 am

LoriP

For many, just seeing them en masse is daunting. Nuisance

5:01 am

fuquayvarina

can't find that 8, Lori. are you talking about the *****g out a part word?

5:01 am

LoriP

Yup! Add an oceanic last 3 letters......

5:02 am

fuquayvarina

ah, got it! ty!

5:02 am

LoriP

Yea fuq! Nicely done.

5:03 am

oodleberry

now why can't I get those clues... I feel so ficking dumb

5:04 am

LoriP

Well, I never! mewn is too a word. Past tense of meow... :D

5:05 am

oodleberry

o m g... I got it

5:05 am

fuquayvarina

makes sense to me, Lori

5:05 am

LoriP

Oodle, for my pasrt, last 3 letters of a 4 letter word. The moon and this and the ocean

5:05 am

fuquayvarina

yay, oodle!!!

5:05 am

oodleberry

5:06 am

LoriP

Yea oodle, you got the 8?

5:06 am

LoriP

Good for you.

oodleberry

Gah, 6 left. Some of those b's were annoy-itating.

5:33 am

J. C.

By the way, I e-mailed that hubby of yours, to request that 'Babble Expert' programme . . . haven't heard anything yet? I expect he'll get to it . . .

J. C.

So I've heard, Frances . . .

5:35 am

J. C.

I love that avatar, mrp - funny picture!

5:35 am

J. C.

Of course that's how I picture you now . . .

5:35 am

Frances

We all love limecat.

5:36 am

LoriP

Just the 1 du word?

5:36 am

J. C.

Limey cat? That's his crash helmet . . .

5:36 am

Frances

Yes Lori

5:36 am

sprite

another great profile text, BabbleRabble. Exactly the things I discussed today with my new therapist. Thank you.

5:36 am

J. C.

I concur - it's excellent, BabbleRabble!

5:36 am

BabbleRabble

hope your sessions go well

5:38 am

sprite

so far they did. Started in January and have the feeling I picked the right person to work with for now.

5:38 am

J. C.

Good, sprite - that's important!

5:39 am

Frances

Coming on in leaps and bounds then sprite. Keep at it. You will win.

5:39 am

BabbleRabble

one of my therapists said we were simpatico .. I kept on saying I did not think it all that simple

5:40 am

sprite

not simple at all indeed.

5:41 am

LoriP

Gee, sorry to repeat a grid related question, but....just the 1 du?

5:42 am

Frances

Yes Lori

5:42 am

sprite

but this lady knows her stuff, is highly professional, also very human, has a sense of humour and a good dose of empathy, and she is aware of the fact that we are both experts, working together.

5:42 am

LoriP

Mercy Buckets Frances. Doh, missed a really obvious word. 1 more d. ***sigh***

5:43 am

sprite

wasn't ignoring a question, just didn't know yet, Lori. I am halfway.

5:44 am

J. C.

I missed a pitifully obvious word earlier, Lori - so don't feel bad. Actually, I do that often . . .

5:44 am

LoriP

You would think that after trying 'deity' umpteen times I'd stop. But...no.

5:44 am

sprite

missing the obvious is what illusionists earn their bread with.

5:45 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . . why is 'init' not a four-letter word? :P

5:45 am

sprite

because it is spelled innit??

5:45 am

J. C.

The other Brits here will get that! ;)

5:45 am

Frances

Same reason aint isn't - init?

5:45 am

J. C.

HAHAHA - yes, that's it! ;)

5:46 am

J. C.

I'm monkeying the 'in' words - so far, unsuccessfully. *Sigh!*

5:47 am

LoriP

Whoa. Monkeys to the rescue. Dumb non word, word. 5 di's

5:47 am

Frances

Five of them J.C.

5:47 am

J. C.

Even monkeys aren't helping me with these - I'll let Val on here, she might do better. It's difficult to type with paws, though . . .

5:47 am

LoriP

3 4's, a 5 and a 6 for in's

5:48 am

Frances

So let Glo have a go.

5:48 am

J. C.

Gloria walks across the keyboard and types to friends on messengers sometimes - but they never understand her.

5:49 am

J. C.

They always know it's her though - and type 'miaow!' back . . .

5:49 am

Frances

Wonder why.

5:49 am

sprite

is Gloria the one with cattitude?

5:49 am

J. C.

Yes, sprite . . .

Awww, thank you mrp! :)

5:50 am

5:50 am

5:51 am

J. C.

Oh, sprite - where from?

5:52 am

J. C.

A rescue group?

5:52 am

LoriP

Mercy Buckets Frances

5:52 am

sprite

from a local breeder

5:52 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . .

5:52 am

Frances

My pleasure Lori.

5:53 am

sprite

well, see it this way: this one will never become a rescue dog!

5:53 am

J. C.

Yes - now THAT one was too obvious, as well. I should quit for now, while I'm not ahead . . .

5:53 am

LoriP

Ahh, point total certainly gave that. Thanks again Frances

5:53 am

mrpresident

getting dogs from breeders is so much better!

5:54 am

sprite

we would have opted for a rescue dog if I had not been handicapped. Can't have a dog too heavy for me too handle, for instance.

5:55 am

mrpresident

sprite, you have made the right choice :)

5:56 am

sprite

*to handle, not too*
Yes mrP, we think so too. Very much in love with him already.

5:57 am

mrpresident

breeder dogs are just wondeful!! you know what temperament you are getting, you know the history of the dog... it is very nice to have that in a pet

5:57 am

J. C.

While wonderful dogs in desperate need of homes, who would otherwise be destroyed, get put down for a lack of homes, mrp? My current and last dogs were both rescues from a shelter - and I couldn't have asked for better dogs. The cost of a purebred puppy would save the lives of a few shelter dogs - and I love dogs too much to support breeding, when there is such a great need. Dogs die because people breed, when there's already such an overpopulation problem. :( I love all dogs, and do appreciate the various breeds, but can't stand knowing wonderful dogs like mine die because people have to have a 'purebred' dog from a breeder . . . if only everyone would be responsible, this wouldn't be a problem - but sadly, that isn't the case.

5:57 am

sprite

how strange, I am logged in in4 flickr and the name is in my profile, and still I don't see the pics anymore.

5:58 am

mrpresident

if only 'breeders' would be responsible, we wouldn't have sheltered dogs

5:58 am

LoriP

***Ponders making steak and egges for breakfast***

5:58 am

J. C.

Well I knew that before I adopted my last dog and my current one, mrp - because the shelters don't just let you walk off with any dog right away, these days. At least not Battersea - you spend time with the dog first, to see how you get on, after being interviewed to help ensure a good 'match'.

5:58 am

J. C.

Then, they also do home visits, to make sure they feel the dog is going to the right home - it's quite good.

5:59 am

mrpresident

lori! go for it!! sounds wonderful!!

5:59 am

sprite

I agree partly, J.C. We have considered a rescue very seriously.

6:00 am

Frances

What else to do today. Baked bread yesterday and shortbread this morning. I am now sewing a quilt but I need something else to do or I'll go mad.

6:00 am

J. C.

Well sprite, I couldn't have asked for better dogs than my last and current one - although I know all adoptions from shelters aren't so successful. The interview process helps greatly - as does being able to spend time getting to know the dog first, before bringing him or her home with you . . .

6:00 am

LoriP

Make a nice pork roast Frances?

6:00 am

mrpresident

frances! you are an amazing homekeeper!

6:00 am

Frances

LOL Lori.

6:01 am

J. C.

Wow, you've been productive, Frances . . .

6:01 am

LoriP

If 'yer making a pork roast (apple sauce optional) I'll book a flight now. :)

6:01 am

sprite

yes I have heard and seen some successfull matches, but also some bad ones.

6:01 am

J. C.

Something else to do? Hmmm . . . come do some cleaning here, then! ;)

6:01 am

Frances

Could only fine a green hat today. All the green clothes made me look like a water melon or a cooking apple. So I decided to go without.

6:02 am

sprite

you can bake me some shortbread, Frances, if you like? :)

6:02 am

J. C.

Yes, sprite - but I think most of them are fine. Most I've heard of seem to go well - including my own.

6:02 am

mrpresident

I don't agree with petshop dogs. Very bad news... and they are the ones that end up in the pound

6:02 am

Frances

I made almond shortbread sprite.

6:02 am

J. C.

Well mrp's cat is all ready for St. Paddy's Day, with his lime green 'hat'! ;)

6:02 am

mrpresident

ooooh, shortbread! where is andree?? she makes the best shortbread

6:02 am

sprite

petshops are terrible.

6:03 am

sprite

sounds delicious, Frances!

6:03 am

Frances

I use her recipe mrp.

6:03 am

J. C.

No, I fully agree with you there, mrp - and would never ever consider that! I boycott pet shops that sell dogs, as a matter of fact . . . they all come from puppy mills and 'backyard breeders'. :(

6:03 am

mrpresident

on ya frances! :))

6:04 am

Frances

.....and I agree, it is the best.

6:04 am

LoriP

Hmm, shortbread. That'll taste great after a nice dinner of overpriced veal! ***hungry***

6:04 am

sprite

exactly, JC. Most petshops here don't sell dogs.

6:04 am

J. C.

Here either, sprite . . .

6:05 am

Frances

I cannot bring myself to eat veal.

Scrabbler

I am a vegetarian too, JC.

6:05 am

mrpresident

we have three petshops in a perimeter of 500 metres... I go and see the dogs and cats everyday... cause I feel so so sorry for them.
It makes me sick that they advertise the dogs on a 7 day cooling off period.'

6:06 am

Frances

Hi Scrabs. Happt St. Paddys to you too. As you can see, I've come undressed for the occassion.

6:06 am

And crossy will be reminded once again that bunnies are sweet, smart, adorable pets.

6:08 am

J. C.

It was all for a very good cause . . . PETA protest.

6:08 am

sprite

and what is PETA?

6:08 am

LoriP

People Eating Tasty Animals!

6:08 am

sprite

when crossy aims for the bunnies, he becomes a sitting duck...

6:08 am

J. C.

'People (for the) Ethical Treatment (of) Animals.'

6:08 am

Scrabbler

Lori, you are naughty!

6:09 am

J. C.

No, Lori - that, it is not.

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Yes, true, Sprite.

6:09 am

Frances

Hush your mouth Lori.

6:09 am

J. C.

It's people with true, unselective compassion for animals . . .

6:09 am

sprite

well treated animals do taste better, so it could be both :)

6:09 am

LoriP

Lori has broad shoulders. Meat Eaters Unite!

6:09 am

J. C.

Thank you, Frances.

6:10 am

Frances

I find it interesting that certain models supported PETA and then eventually started to wear fur.

6:10 am

sprite

unselective? Like say a flea is loved as much as a dog?

6:10 am

J. C.

That disgusted me, Frances . . .

6:10 am

J. C.

It seems they did it only for the 'publicity' it brought them at the time.

6:11 am

sprite

that is very hypocritical, Frances

6:11 am

Frances

Exactly J.C.

6:11 am

J. C.

No, sprite - saying that compassion extends to more than just your own personal pets.

6:11 am

Scrabbler

There is a bunny at my feet now--little Miss B.

6:12 am

Scrabbler

This is not an easy grid, is it?

6:12 am

sprite

ah I see, JC. Just like with children's wellfare.

6:12 am

Frances

After that lettuce between your toes Scrabs?

6:12 am

sprite

how's Miss B. doing?

6:12 am

LoriP

6:12 am

Scrabbler

She is the boss of the downstairs' quarters.

6:13 am

mrpresident

PETA is very controversial

6:13 am

sprite

Miss B rules!

6:13 am

Frances

Would love to J.C.

6:13 am

J. C.

Lettuce between the toes? I thought it was jam - 'toe jam'? :P

6:13 am

sprite

I heard it was cheese. Toe cheese,.

6:13 am

Frances

LOL J.C.

6:14 am

Scrabbler

*losing appetite for breakfast*

6:14 am

sprite

never ever take lettuce for breakfast, Scrabs. Too demanding on the stomach.

6:14 am

LoriP

If you wore steak slippers, they'd levae you alone Scrabbler

6:15 am

J. C.

Well, mrp - I'll tell you, PETA have run some campaign adverts that have disgusted me, because they were very insensitive toward certain people - but over all, they do a lot of good and do present very valid, scientifically factual information. I am a supporting member, because I care to try and make a difference, for animals . . .

6:15 am

Scrabbler

I love when my bunnies cuddle up next to me.

6:15 am

J. C.

Ewww, sprite!!! :P

6:15 am

mrpresident

I would akin PETA to a terrorist organisation... wish they would go back to educating people rather than trying to kill people for their belief. INHO

6:15 am

Frances

E-mail sent J.C.

6:16 am

mrpresident

But I diverse... grid is back online!!! not many to go now!

6:16 am

Scrabbler

I found a 6 all by myself.

6:16 am

J. C.

OK, Frances . . .

6:16 am

Frances

Chat is very slow today.

6:17 am

NonnieLight

A quick good morning to all. Hi and bye :o)

6:17 am

Scrabbler

Hi Nonnie

6:17 am

mrpresident

Clues are slow today!! LOL

6:17 am

mrpresident

hi nonnie!! :))

6:17 am

Frances

Hey nonnie no.

6:17 am

Scrabbler

I will type/talk faster, Frances.

6:17 am

sprite

hi Nonnie

6:17 am

LoriP

Hi and bye Nonnie!

6:17 am

mrpresident

LOL scrabs!!

6:17 am

LoriP

Frances, do you mean the overall intelligence level, or the speed with which posts are appearing. :D

6:18 am

Frances

If only Scrabs. LOL.

6:18 am

J. C.

I agree, mrp - some of their tactics leave much to be desired, and I have written them about that - telling them they're only cutting their noses off to spite their faces. I wish someone there would see sense, in that regard . . .

6:18 am

Scrabbler

Well, I am not fully conscience yet, so my brain is only in first gear, Lori.

6:19 am

sprite

does the flickr in my profile work for you?

6:19 am

mrpresident

oh scrabs! I have been in third gear for a while now... but am redlining my brain!

6:19 am

LoriP

PETA has become a dysfunctional sum of its parts. Your best bet, is to take care of your piece of the planet, annd do what you can in your community.

6:20 am

Frances

Your brain has gears. Can I have some......please?

6:20 am

LoriP

lol, I wanna' see 'yer gears too!

6:20 am

Frances

Think I'm in reverse.

6:20 am

Scrabbler

Gears, pistons, wires--a big mess sometimes.
'

6:21 am

Frances

.....and going downhill.

6:21 am

mrpresident

LOL Frances!! At least I am going forward!!

6:21 am

J. C.

No, Lori . . . it actually does a lot of good. Unfortunately not enough though, because there are people who simply don't care enough about animals. That, and PETA needs to rethink a lot of its tactics.

6:22 am

sprite

please, can somebody check if my flickr pics are visible in my profile?

6:22 am

mrpresident

Oh am watching ladette to lady! is so special this episode!! 3 girls remain

6:22 am

J. C.

OK, sprite . . . checking!

6:22 am

Frances

Will do sprite

6:22 am

mrpresident

no they are not sprite

6:22 am

J. C.

No sprite, sorry - not yet.

6:22 am

Frances

No sprite

6:22 am

J. C.

If you need your user name for Flickr, it's that numerical one, not the one you may have chosen . . .

6:22 am

sprite

darn. Thanks for checking, no idea why they aren't showing. Name in profile is correct, am logged in. Weird.

6:23 am

J. C.

See my last post, sprite - that may be why?

6:23 am

sprite

numerical? Have they changed it? So far it was visible with just the name.

6:23 am

mrpresident

oh man!! my facemask is squeezing me!!

6:23 am

Scrabbler

I wish that George CLooney were squeezing me.

6:24 am

J. C.

No, sprite - let me explain. Before you choose your own URL for your Flickr page, you have a numerical name in the address - remember that?

6:24 am

LoriP

PETA has presented absolutely appalling campaigns, and it's funding of the ALF should put off any well intended mind.

6:24 am

sprite

ok where can I find the numerical one? Do you know by any chance?

6:24 am

Frances

Face mask? Deep sea diving - going into space?

6:24 am

sprite

lol Scrabs!

6:24 am

J. C.

HAHAHA, mrp . . . you mean the lime on kitty's head?

6:24 am

J. C.

Yes, sprite . . .

6:25 am

LoriP

***wonders if Scrabbler has to deal with the big head in the sky today***

6:25 am

J. C.

Right-click on any of your photos, and select to view it on its own, in a new window . . . copy the user name you then see in the URL of the image.

6:25 am

sprite

thanks JC, will take a look

6:26 am

LoriP

With 6 eyes absolutely focused on the back of my ehad, wanting the puter (March Break here) I shall scatter. Have a great day all!

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Yes, Lori! Argh. Once again he has made a mother happy by giving her an antibiotic prescription for her kid after I saw no indication. Now there is a note on the kid's chart to never schedule future appts with me.

6:26 am

Scrabbler

Bye Lori

6:26 am

J. C.

The user ID you want, sprite, will be something like this: 35423646@N08 (That's mine.)

6:27 am

Frances

Thanks J.C. received.

6:27 am

Scrabbler

So I am the bad guy, huh? I remind myself to do what is right for kids not fulfill parental requests.

6:27 am

J. C.

You're welcome, Frances . . .

6:27 am

sprite

I can see a number but no @ in it

6:27 am

LoriP

***pops back in*** That's why you're a good Dr Scrabbler. No BS hand holding, and prescribing unwarranted meds. ***Have a good day in spite of him!***

6:28 am

J. C.

That must be frustrating, Scrabbler . . .

6:28 am

sprite

that is very unfair, Srabs :(

6:28 am

Scrabbler

I try, but it does make me upset.

6:28 am

J. C.

Yes, I'm sure it does - it would me. :(

6:29 am

sprite

entered the number but flickr name is not valid, it says now

6:29 am

kje

Scrab - you MUST get outta there

6:29 am

Scrabbler

TY for support--I get so upset when I try to educate and explain, then a partner caves in and makes the parent happy.

6:29 am

sprite

it would make me upset too, Scrabs. You are too darn good to be treated like that.

6:29 am

Scrabbler

I know, kje, and I am waiting for the day when I say good-bye to him.

6:30 am

J. C.

'Rabbitat' - I like that, Scrabbler! ;)

6:30 am

Scrabbler

But so many parents do appreciate my conservative approach, I remind myself.

6:30 am

J. C.

Do you have a little sign on the front of your house, with the name on it?

6:30 am

kje

I have never heard of a partner doing so, it is overstepping boundaries. The patient can leave you and find another doc, but it is not appropriate that your partners interfere in your decisions that way

6:30 am

Scrabbler

I'm living in it, JC!

6:30 am

J. C.

HAHAHA, yes - so I see!

6:30 am

Scrabbler

I want to make one, JC.

6:31 am

J. C.

You should, Scrabbler - houses here often have names, which are on the wall of the house near the entranceway, or else on the wall surrounding the property, near the gates.

6:32 am

J. C.

Mine has a name, rather than a number.

6:32 am

Scrabbler

But in a group, kje, there are such differences in philosophies. I respect the dangers of antibiotics, my partners do not.

6:32 am

Scrabbler

JC, I have seen them in Cape Cod--quarterboards I think they are called?

6:33 am

J. C.

Yes - antibiotics are wonderful in some instances, when used correctly. They shouldn't be overused or used unnecessarily, though!

6:33 am

J. C.

Just name plaques I think, Scrabbler - didn't know there was a term for them?

6:33 am

sprite

antibiotics are a miracle cure for bad situations. They should be treated like that and not handed out for every infection.

6:34 am

J. C.

Precisely, sprite . . .

6:34 am

kje

but do you guys not have your own personal patient panels? or do you share all patients? if the patient is your patient, they are violating professional ethics to step in and interfere

6:34 am

Scrabbler

Too many MDs are wimps and just please the patient instead of doing what is right.

6:35 am

Scrabbler

We share patients as we are a group. Parents can choose who to see, and those that demand antibiotics find out to not see me.

6:35 am

J. C.

Oh good, sprite - I see you found your Flickr user ID all right, then! :) Your photos show up in your profile now.

6:36 am

kje

that is a strange set up scrab

6:36 am

kje

get the he** out

6:36 am

Scrabbler

Well, today's highlight, as it is every Tuesday, is to spend the afternoon and evening with my late friend Mary's kids. It is a spring day so we will play outside.

6:36 am

sprite

our doctor isn't overly fond of antibiotics, unless they are really needed. When my daughter had a bad bladder infection, she got antibiotics. After finding out which bug was responsible. But no antibiotics for 'normal' illnesses. If it will pass without, she does not prescribe them. And I am glad she doesn't.

6:36 am

Scrabbler

kje--peds groups are like that everywhere.

6:36 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . . parents who apparently think they know better than a doctor. :(

6:37 am

sprite

do they, JC? Wow, I still cannot see them in my profile.

6:37 am

Scrabbler

Europeans do not abuse antibiotics as Americans do.

6:37 am

J. C.

No, sprite? That's odd, because I can - an adorable little Cocker Spaniel puppy!

6:37 am

Scrabbler

I want to take Mary's kids to a playground today.

6:38 am

sprite

ah, there they are. Miracle of miracles. I just reentered the lettered name and now it takes.

6:38 am

kje

not true, scrab... we have a babbler as case in point - seems to get a lot of abx from her doc

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Oh, friends, I must get ready for work. I will miss you.

6:38 am

kje

it varies by doc and demanding patient, just like here

6:38 am

Scrabbler

Ah, yes, kje. I know what you refer to.

6:39 am

sprite

have a good day at work, SCrabs, without irresponsible parents and partners. *hugs*

6:39 am

Scrabbler

Happy St Patrick's Day to all!

suefrad625

I cant say anything, my 12yr old son wanted the little ball inside of the FULL can of black spray paint, so he got the great idea of splitting it open with a shovel....thank God he closed his eyes when he got a full black face put on.

7:01 am

suefrad625

a couple of cleaning guys at the apt complex put 3 cans of bug spray into a refrigerator that had fruit flies.

7:01 am

suefrad625

blew the door off the frig and the door off the apt.

7:02 am

kje

OMG sue!

7:02 am

suefrad625

I did and sent them to family members

7:02 am

7:02 am

sprite

and they ought to be professional cleaners! Hellllp!

7:02 am

kje

now that is a darwin award

7:02 am

suefrad625

it is scary as to what they have to say on these things, because you know that someone tried it first

7:03 am

sprite

not quite, but it definitely is a Near Miss, kje :)

7:03 am

Frances

Think J.C. has gone to India or China for his tea!

7:03 am

kje

let me gues.. they are suing the bug spray company b/c the warning didn't say, do not use 3 cans in a fridge?

7:03 am

sprite

the man has good taste, Frances :)

7:04 am

sprite

that is really awful, kje, and often the sad truth

7:04 am

why cant people just accept that they messed up

7:09 am

J. C.

HAHAHA, Frances - I saw that. No, I was out in the kitchen, boiling the kettle and making the tea. ;)

7:10 am

J. C.

Thanks, sprite!

7:10 am

sprite

it should be a basic rule: people are expected to use their good sense at all times!

7:11 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . . good in theory, sprite. The trouble is, not everyone has much or any good sense to use!

7:11 am

suefrad625

I stink when it comes to vowel words

7:11 am

suefrad625

time for more coffee I guess

7:11 am

BabbleRabble

there are all sorts of rules and laws ... people make mistakes, no rule or law will ever change that

7:11 am

J. C.

Too true, BabbleRabble . . .

7:12 am

sprite

or as my husband would say about some of his clients: they have the common sense of a green pea

7:12 am

Frances

I'm tucking into a huge bowl of black and green grapes. They are yummy.

7:12 am

suefrad625

true spirit, but why should I have to pay for them in my insurance?

7:12 am

I love grapes. Enjoy, Frances!

7:12 am

I love grapes

7:12 am

BabbleRabble

I am with you, sue

7:13 am

suefrad625

I like raw peas

7:13 am

J. C.

Mmmm, grapes . . . care to share them? ;)

7:13 am

J. C.

I love peas - grow them here.

7:13 am

J. C.

Yes - they're best that way.

7:13 am

Frances

When I take my granddaughter to Waitrose and we buy grapes as soon as I've paid for them she runs to the seat with them and starts scoffing them!

7:14 am

J. C.

Did you see my reply to what you said, Frances?

7:14 am

Frances

OO peas straight from the pod - delicious.

7:14 am

Frances

Plenty to share J.C.

lol must confess I didn't go look it up, JC

7:15 am

J. C.

Hmmm . . . I would take them home and wash them before eating, Frances! You never know what's been on them.

7:15 am

Frances

Yes J.C. Did you not see my post about the bear covering the bare necessities?

7:15 am

J. C.

You couldn't, sprite - it's in my 360 page and not on view to non-contacts.

7:16 am

J. C.

Oh, no - hadn't looked, sorry! I will now though! ;)

7:16 am

sprite

good thing I didn't try then :)

7:16 am

Frances

J.C. it was in the chat log here.

7:16 am

J. C.

That's the 'bear necessities', Frances - considering what my - ahem - 'crown jewels' were covered by! :P

7:16 am

J. C.

Oh, OK . . . I was in the kitchen for a little while.

7:17 am

Frances

Exactly J.C. LOL.

7:17 am

7:18 am

J. C.

That can be arranged - and sent. ;)

7:19 am

Frances

Dark room sprite?

7:19 am

sprite

not sure... it wouldn't do to be invited just to see you in the nude, lol... and am not so sure about agressive animal rights organisation.

7:19 am

J. C.

Oh dear - hope you can avoid it, sprite! :( You have mail, by the way . . .

7:20 am

sprite

thanks JC, back in a few minutes

7:20 am

J. C.

Erm - there is nothing 'agressive' in my blog, sprite. And the picture is very tasteful - in fact, I'm so heavily airbrushed in the photo, it looks like a painting! :P Why they did that to me, I have no idea!

7:21 am

Frances

It does J.C. I thought that too.

7:21 am

J. C.

Yes, it's silly . . . I didn't see the need for airbrushing, I'm not *that* bad! :P

O.O it was amazing. very strange. we went to a slat marsh / beachy area I've never been to before, and the beach there is nearly all old bottles and porcelain mashed up with the pebbles and stuff. I guess the beach needed shoring up?

tragicstud

7:53 am

sprite

7:53 am

spanner

Thanks sprite

7:53 am

tragicstud

i miss school...working is SO overrated

7:54 am

Atalante

yes, it would go hamlet, village, town, what we're talking about now

7:54 am

sprite

the bad thing about work is that it takes up too much of your free time

7:54 am

sprite

thanks Atalante, that gives me a totally new word too. The first one. Only know it as a name in shakespeare

7:55 am

tragicstud

yes. well, right...there's no free time...and i keep having bosses that are mind-blowingly crazy :)

7:55 am

tragicstud

i shold write a book

7:55 am

hurshy

hamlet: the story of a young pig

7:55 am

kje

in your free time? tragic

7:55 am

tragicstud

though, i also just hate authority

7:55 am

Atalante

I *think* villages have churches and hamlets don't. then towns have a town hall. and the bigger things have cathedrals. In the UK anyway

7:55 am

sprite

go for it, stud. Seriously. If you can write a good one, and get it published and sold, you won't have to work there anymore :)

7:55 am

tragicstud

i've never heard of a hamlet

7:56 am

sprite

hey hursh!

7:56 am

Atalante

7:56 am

tragicstud

:(

7:56 am

kje

poor hursh

7:57 am

spanner

Poor Hurshy! GWS

7:57 am

sprite

if it is too small for a church, it may not even have a pub. Bad places.

7:57 am

suefrad625

hursh try some ginger root

7:57 am

Kallia

a hamlet is a small settlement...smaller than a village

7:57 am

BabbleRabble

not a lot of press for young pigs

7:57 am

suefrad625

it helps a lot

7:57 am

Atalante

awwww is smarty marty there too?

7:57 am

suefrad625

stops the nausea

7:57 am

sprite

lol Kallia, indeed. But since that word is in the grid...

7:57 am

Kallia

oops sorry !

7:57 am

hurshy

marty is here yes

7:57 am

Atalante

awwwwww he's a good cat!

7:57 am

tragicstud

what if you live in a town and in it is raised a budding architect who wants to build a cathedral

7:57 am

Kallia

haven't even looked at the grid

7:58 am

tragicstud

would the building of the cathedral change the type of place?

7:58 am

hurshy

yeah he's been pretty worried about me all night

7:58 am

Kallia

no can do...would have to be a big church

7:58 am

sprite

do you have Norit where you live, hursh? Very good with food poisoning. Just try and eat heaps of them.

7:58 am

Atalante

if the cathedral is built, then the town would become a ci4. but only if it was a Church of England cathedral

7:58 am

Kallia

nope

7:58 am

tragicstud

really?

7:58 am

hurshy

i don't know what norit is

7:58 am

sprite

they would have to move to a thing bigger than a town

7:58 am

tragicstud

this is what i mean...authority is so arbitrary and ridiculous

7:58 am

hurshy

the english are very precise

7:59 am

Kallia

no that status is decided by the monarch...or maybe Houses of Parliament these days

7:59 am

tragicstud

fascinating

7:59 am

sprite

active carbonate, I think it is called, hursh.

7:59 am

tragicstud

why is this important enough to warrent a rule?

7:59 am

tragicstud

does it change the governing?

7:59 am

Atalante

different taxes etc, and different levels of government

7:59 am

hurshy

i feel like someone has put an iron band around my stomach

8:00 am

Kallia

it's Historic, and I can't remember what the rulling is

8:00 am

sprite

there would no doubt be more rules and laws for it then, stud

8:00 am

tragicstud

poor budding architect kid...

8:00 am

Kallia

Cathedrals have Arch Bishops

8:00 am

Atalante

we have the Biggest and Best Arch Bishop :)

8:00 am

Kallia

nope sorry Bishops

8:00 am

sprite

food poisoning is ugly. I have been through it only once and I don't want to do it again. I really feel for you, hursh. Norit or something like it can clear it up faster.

8:00 am

BabbleRabble

they can't have bishops with flat feet?

8:01 am

Kallia

Arch Bishop is the head

8:01 am

Kallia

LOLOL

8:01 am

Atalante

only 2 arch bishops, I think? York and Canterbury?

8:01 am

sprite

not if they want to become the arch

8:01 am

sprite

so why am I now thinking of Archie Bunker?

8:01 am

Kallia

yep that's right Ata...

8:01 am

tragicstud

so really...all of the cathedrals that will ever be already exist?

8:02 am

spanner

we all used to dread that practical!

8:45 am

These are dismal. some are just so awful I just put them down and walk away for awhile.

phaeton

oops...ed7

9:39 am

Aloyisius

it ends with a metropolis

9:39 am

stidmama

not completely Aloyisius -- one of the stidkids, despite best efforts, just is healthier with chicken and fish in the diet.

9:39 am

stidmama

got it right away! thanks!

9:39 am

Aloyisius

two of my three kids are vegetarians, their spouses too

9:40 am

stidmama

and I admit that I like eggs in things.

9:40 am

stidmama

but I know that I am healthier and feel better overall when I am vegan.

9:40 am

Aloyisius

they eat eggs and cheese tho..

9:41 am

stidmama

I have considered being ovo-vegetarian when they young-un's fly away in a few years.

9:42 am

stidmama

there. halfway!!!!

9:43 am

stidmama

going to lie down again for a bit and let the migraine rest. Tom took the stidkid to school so I could rest for a bit longer.

9:43 am

Aloyisius

ooh, ouch.. hope you feel better soon, stid.. take care..

9:43 am

9:49 am

Uniquity

Half a Uni, really.

9:49 am

Atalante

the quity part or the uni part?

9:50 am

Uniquity

My internet was being nice, I thought maybe that babble would load. This is the site I have most difficulty with, must be because of the constant interaction. Not the quity part yet! **Trying again**

9:50 am

Aloyisius

crossing fingers for Uni...

9:51 am

EvaNadine

2nd load of laundry in, kitchen counters cleaned, getting ready to scrub the bathroom + polish the bedroom furniture...

Aloyisius

9:52 am

EvaNadine

i should probably think about eating something today...

9:52 am

sadie52

gee wears me out just reading that

9:53 am

Atalante

9:53 am

EvaNadine

heh, i think im an addict.

not to cleaning really, but when i make a list, i get a little jolt from being able to cross things off the list.
:)

9:53 am

Aloyisius

fireworks, Happy St. Patty's Day, see you next grid.. byee

9:54 am

Aloyisius

(Eva has inspired me.. (-: )

9:55 am

EvaNadine

9:56 am

EvaNadine

usually im the bad influence. ;)

9:57 am

Judi

Happy St. Paddy's Day, one and all!

9:57 am

Uniquity

Crossing things off lists is awesome...and I seem to have loaded, hoorah!

9:58 am

Atalante

hurray!

9:58 am

niksforjaff

hi all-would someone please enlighten me onto the last e word-is there a mistake?

9:59 am

Atalante

e + NZ bird

9:59 am

Atalante

10:00 am

niksforjaff

ok-thanks

10:02 am

niksforjaff

according to lickety i have the only et word done but still have an e word left

10:02 am

Atalante

well then you are missing a different e word!

10:03 am

niksforjaff

hmm-must be going mad-thanks anyway

10:03 am

Uniquity

I have no e words, so I am no help. In fact, I only have 6 words total. **Preparingfor dive**

10:03 am

Atalante

go go Uni!

10:04 am

10:04 am

10:04 am

Atalante

there is!!

10:04 am

tragicstud

hello

10:04 am

niksforjaff

10:05 am

westford

hello hoot trag ata bich niks and all

10:05 am

bichon

and I've been to NZ too. Must live only on the North Island

10:06 am

niksforjaff

since this site was hacked it hasnt been acting to well

10:06 am

niksforjaff

hi west

10:06 am

Atalante

you might not have seen every bird in NZ, bichon :P

10:06 am

Uniquity

I had problems with it before, but my load and wait times have been even worse since the incidents.

10:06 am

hootowl

It's actually working better I my end! But it still loses words

10:07 am

niksforjaff

well-our computer has its moments i must admit

10:07 am

Uniquity

If I can load the grid, entering words is a slow and painful process. Actual completions are at maybe one a week because retyping the same word five and ten times is boring.

10:07 am

westford

I'm done. Have a Happy St. Patrick's Day

10:08 am

niksforjaff

ive found that to uni

10:08 am

Uniquity

Happy St Pats!

10:08 am

hootowl

good job west

10:08 am

niksforjaff

happy st pats to all..and happy anniversary mumsy

10:08 am

Atalante

yay west!

10:08 am

Uniquity

Good to know I am not the only one. I never told Dr God as I assumed it was just me having problems with internet, but maybe I should let him know there are still kinks. I'm sure he figured it out..

10:09 am

hootowl

I am people are finally realisesing that you HAVE entered words and they ARE disappearing!. I think we need more space. A lot more people on here than whats in the chog.

10:09 am

tragicstud

me too actually, i always assumed it was my connection

10:09 am

hootowl

i am glad!

10:09 am

niksforjaff

no-i def think theres probs with it,youre not alone

10:10 am

Judi

Leprechauns. It has to be leprechauns.

10:10 am

Atalante

there's always been issues with words avnishing

10:10 am

hootowl

One change thou - instead of losing plurals, it now loses whole words.

10:10 am

niksforjaff

those lepers...grrr

10:10 am

Uniquity

For the last two years or so there have been consistently between 150 and 300 people online at any given time, as far as I have noticed. I don't know that the people have increased, but the problems have :(

10:10 am

niksforjaff

k-fires are done and so am i ..nighty nite-have fun all

10:11 am

hootowl

and big words too. Lost an eight letter one once.

10:11 am

Uniquity

Wait a tic...Leprechauns strip. And are lepers? Stripping leperous leprechauns? Sounds awful.

10:11 am

Atalante

ewwwwww

10:11 am

Uniquity

Congrats niks!

10:11 am

niksforjaff

way too late for me to digest that uni-have to sleep now

10:12 am

niksforjaff

have fun and keep green

10:12 am

Uniquity

Lecherous leperous leprechauns...My. Watched Pontypool last evening (based off the book). Seems I might have onomatopoeic problems.

10:12 am

hootowl

Well before all hel broke loose I couldn't get a complete grid after the flip and after 4-5 words could not enter any more. Could not post to chog either and I'm sure some people think I abandoned them in mid-sentence.

10:12 am

niksforjaff

byyeeee

10:15 am

hootowl

I do offer apologies too. I thought people were really just being defensive or thick-headed

10:15 am

Uniquity

When will I remember that babble says yoda is not a word?

10:15 am

hootowl

i tried it too

10:15 am

Judi

Yeah? So? What's wrong with being defensive and thick-headed??? :-)

10:16 am

Uniquity

Babble conversations often halt partway, depending on a number of variables. I often poof away without saying it.

10:16 am

hootowl

hahahahaha - not a thing!

10:16 am

hootowl

Yeah I do too but not when someone is waiting for a reply

10:20 am

Atalante

I don't think anyone would take it as rude if you did though

10:21 am

Uniquity

It happens. Speaking of pointed questions - how is your newest masters or PhD or whatever going, Ata?

10:22 am

hootowl

Well I consider it rude. If someone asks for help or just asks me a question I will answer. But hard when you are cut off

10:22 am

Atalante

fun fun! It's great. Except I get to read 900+ pages of environmental stateents this week. Joy!

10:23 am

Uniquity

It certainly is frustrating, but from my point of view, Hoot, you are not being rude in babble if you can't answer a question just because internet connections are tenuous, power resets, etc. I guess I have a leniency in internet chat that I don't in person to person chat.

10:23 am

Uniquity

900+ pages?? I am not even reading that many pages of pleasure books, school works and random street signs!

10:24 am

Atalante

tell me about it! And its reallllllly boring

10:24 am

Judi

Tune in next week to "As the Globe Warms", when we hear Ata say...

10:24 am

Judi

Tune in next week to "As the Globe Warms", when we hear Ata say...

10:24 am

Uniquity

Perhaps you will find the revolutionary answer to saving the planet though. That would be lovely.

10:25 am

Judi

... there's dog poo in my carbon footprint.

10:25 am

hootowl

Well I tend to agree with you Uni, but I try not to be rude and it frustrates me. Maybe just age-related.

10:26 am

hootowl

I am monkeying some truly weird words!

10:28 am

Atalante

it's annoying, but it can't necessarily be rude

10:28 am

Uniquity

Ugh, my chat seems to have been eaten. Again. Case in point!

10:29 am

Judi

I'm having trouble posting too. Doesn't do my punchlines any good.

10:29 am

suefrad625

me too hoot

It does ruin a good snarky comment. Oh my, have to go in ten minutes and not making much grid progress. Tricky.

10:30 am

hootowl

Your punchlines are fine Judi

10:30 am

tragicstud

i'm searching and trying thing after thing... word ends up being the thing a clock tells

10:30 am

tragicstud

sigh

10:33 am

hootowl

Oh grid blindness is rampant ts - I must have spent at least an hour trying to find teepee the other day! Just could not see it. Wanted to hit myself with a shovel...

10:33 am

tragicstud

alright... gonna go see a client....18 words left :)

10:33 am

tragicstud

have a good one if i don't see you all again :)

10:34 am

Uniquity

Watching What Not to Wear is a dangerous prospect. I want someone to give me five grand to spend on clothes. I would be so stylish!

10:34 am

72 Temple Owl

hi all!

10:34 am

hootowl

Me too. But not sure I want to go back to NY

10:34 am

Uniquity

Speaking of stylish...Hello TO!

10:35 am

hootowl

hi TO

10:35 am

suefrad625

hi 72

10:35 am

Judi

Oh, AMEN, Uni. I went clothes shopping yesterday. Came home with two l/s fashion t's and a pair of jeans. I shopped for four hours. It was dismal. Hate it when I have money to spend and can't find anything decent to wear.

10:35 am

72 Temple Owl

so what have i walked in on?

10:35 am

Judi

I can live without Stacey and Clinton, but I would like some more choices!

10:36 am

Uniquity

I don't have the money, really, but I have three pair pants, all falling apart and many shirts of an ill fitting and ugly nature. When I do try to get something that actually fits me, I fail. Everything is too short!

10:36 am

hootowl

Well at least Clinton is better than the other guy! I always wondered how a great ape could give cedible fasion info

10:37 am

Uniquity

It seems that specifically trying to find nice things never works, TO.

10:37 am

hootowl

credible

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

oh, it's a law of hte universe. don't try to fight it.

10:37 am

Judi

Hmm. How about edible fashion? Don't like it? Eat it!

10:37 am

Uniquity

And by TO, I meant Judi. Apologies.

10:37 am

72 Temple Owl

as in i am trying to find a white shirt. becasue everyone must have one. fugeddahboutit

10:38 am

Uniquity

I've heard of some edible fashions, but they are inappropriate for public consumption.

10:38 am

suefrad625

they have that Judi

10:38 am

suefrad625

candy pants

10:38 am

72 Temple Owl

=O

10:38 am

suefrad625

and bras

10:38 am

Judi

I could wear anything I liked... if I was a size 4. Not likely to happen in this lifetime. Skinny bitches better not let me catch them shopping.

10:38 am

torgone

Yum.

10:38 am

Uniquity

I just wants jeans/pants of an appropriate length and width. And at least three shirts I don't hate. And two nice bras, but that would be a $100+ adventure for each bra, so that isn't happening.

10:39 am

hootowl

I have lots of clothes but most of them don't match. So I wind up wearing the same 4-5 pr of pants and the same with the tops. And when did the powers that be decide that real sleeves were too expensive!

10:39 am

Atalante

amen!

10:39 am

suefrad625

can I have the co4/6 and the ni4/5?

10:39 am

72 Temple Owl

gee tor, what a surprise.

10:39 am

Uniquity

Sleeves seem to be out of fashion, Hoot. Everywhere I try to shop caters to people my age, but of 1/3 my size and a lot more brazen nudity!

10:40 am

Judi

TO - buy a man's shirt and throw a trendy belt around it. Maybe you can get away with it.

10:40 am

72 Temple Owl

judi: i am a midget. with a midriff. won't work. :D

10:40 am

Judi

I HATE SLEEVELESS TOPS! I am cursed with fat arms.

10:41 am

Judi

Hi, Peri!

10:41 am

CiociaJudy

10:42 am

suefrad625

can I have the co4/6 and the ni4/5?

10:42 am

hootowl

Judi not quite sleeveless. They just go down about 3-4 inches. I wind up wearing a sweater when I put them on. I am no lightweight either

10:42 am

There are lots of mens' shirts that seem awful femmy to me these days. Must be the Queer Eye influence.

10:42 am

72 Temple Owl

10:43 am

suefrad625

10:44 am

hootowl

I am 5'3 1/4" tall - I am on the cusp. Either too tall for petite (if I can find them) or too short for regular. I still have pants from 4-5 years ago that I haven't gotten around to shortening

10:44 am

10:47 am

hootowl

I used to get a lot of things from Hanes Her Way. Haven't seen a catalog in a while though. But they were very good at sizing for everyone. And not expensive either. They even believe people who wear plus sizes have normal length arms!

10:47 am

periwinkle

ok, I am 5'8"

Hi Uni!

2:20 pm

FMitch

elder - I have taken on the mantle of a grey head as I am going greyer by the day this year :)

2:21 pm

Uniquity

I am snacking on peanut butter and crackers while I do, anyone else want some? I am finishing up the smooth, but there is crunchy!

2:21 pm

Atalante

2:21 pm

FMitch

oooh yess crunchy PB please! just pass me the jar and a spoon

2:21 pm

elder

If its peanut butter, I prefer the crunchy please.

2:22 pm

Uniquity

Peanut butter can go with thai, if you try hard enough. I alos LOVE the crunchy **Shares**

2:22 pm

elder

FMitch.... LOl , it comes to us all :)

2:22 pm

Atalante

pb can and does! especially in pad thai

2:23 pm

lynxxx

FM - tough times for everyone!

2:23 pm

FMitch

Yup lynxxx

2:23 pm

elder

No jam just the peanut butter on bread with thick butter. Blown it now, all is revealed with regard to my dietary needs/ wants.

2:24 pm

Atalante

2:24 pm

FMitch

PB with Anchor butter on white bread..... heaven!

2:24 pm

elder

2:25 pm

FMitch

2:25 pm

elder

None of this diet spread YUk .

2:25 pm

elder

2:25 pm

FMitch

*grin*

2:26 pm

elder

Its probably why were going grey, but still have hair.

2:26 pm

elder

we're

2:26 pm

FMitch

thank goodness I have eaten already otherwise I would be cravig!

2:27 pm

elder

he he ..

2:28 pm

Atalante

the only problem (ha ha) I've found with my curent diet is that I don't get enough salt. I have to add salt to things. BLECH

2:28 pm

FMitch

No that is a good thing Ata

2:28 pm

Atalante

I know, I just hate saltiness!

2:29 pm

Uniquity

My diet isn't a diet so much as it is a compilation of anything I could possible want to eat. Lots of cheese, potatoes, pasta, bread, peanut butter, more cheese, more potatoes and meat. Yum yum yum.

2:29 pm

FMitch

At keast then you can add it rather than be deluged with it

2:29 pm

elder

Oh, Ata, we need some salt in out bodies. That's why we can swim. But if you don't like the taste that would be horrid.

2:29 pm

Uniquity

In thinking, I realize that I very rarely put salt in things. Mostly just gravy and baking.

2:30 pm

Atalante

lol when I was a student I lived on cheese, potatoes and pasta. looks similar!

2:30 pm

elder

Uni that sounds perfect for me.

2:30 pm

Uniquity

Of course, I've got the roundness to prove my diet...

2:30 pm

Atalante

nor me, Uni, not a drop. And as I'm not eating packaged and whatever foods, I'm just not getting salt

2:31 pm

elder

Uni Ditto :)

2:31 pm

Uniquity

I don't eat a lot of prepackaged food, but I am sure what I do contains a bunch of salt.

2:32 pm

elder

Ata, amazing the amount of salt put into most products..

2:32 pm

Atalante

why eat prepackaged when you can have cheese!

2:32 pm

Atalante

I *know*. And I look at my father just putting so much salt on his food, and my best friend too ... ick ick!

2:32 pm

elder

quite.

2:33 pm

elder

and with salt.

2:33 pm

Uniquity

I love cheese. I find my problem is that I get repetitive in my meals and can't think of new (simplish) meals to try out. I get in ruts.

2:33 pm

Jamie6

can u help me with 6 letter words?

2:33 pm

Uniquity

I have refilled my salt shaker once in the last year and a half. Even my pepper gets used more than that. Although, I do use garlic salt in some things.

2:33 pm

Atalante

spaghetti, with mayonnaise and cubes of cheese. LOL. that got me through about 8 years of student life!

2:33 pm

FMitch

LOL just got email from a friend asking the following: you sell you property
If you had no family ties/husband/kids etc and had the chance to travel or change your life - what would you do?

2:34 pm

elder

Go ...

2:34 pm

Uniquity

Cheese is VERY expensive in NS, especially at the rate I eat it. My grocery bill keeps going up, but my paycheques aren't. It's no good!

2:35 pm

spanner

Jamie6 I only have one de6-27. Do you want a clue

2:35 pm

Atalante

3:50 pm

cybernan

bottom e?

3:50 pm

Lizsark

Well hopefully Derryn will send me back some info. I'm pretty sure you can travel as a foot passenger and have a dog with you but I think she would have to be in a crate unfortunately. Condor are funny like that.

3:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

i still need 34. these small grids can be tough.

3:50 pm

3:52 pm

jillibus

can clue it more if you like, nan

3:52 pm

Atalante

so if we get into Guernsey, is the boat to Sark nearby? Or would we have to lug Hobbit and crate across the island?

3:53 pm

Lizsark

If you come in from the UK by boat its about a two minute walk from one quay to the other :)

3:53 pm

cybernan

please, jill

3:53 pm

Atalante

yay! was hoping you'd say that

3:54 pm

Atalante

and the Sark boat won't mind a big dog crate on it?

3:54 pm

Lizsark

:) If you come in by plane its a twenty minute car trip

3:54 pm

jillibus

e + "The Au****** of Hope"

3:54 pm

Lizsark

Do it'll be fine. But Hobbit won't be in the crate on our boat - just on a lead is fine

3:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

nice clue, jili!

3:54 pm

Lizsark

That was supposed to say "No" not "Do"

3:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

3:55 pm

3:57 pm

I'm enjoying your travel plans, ata and liz!

3:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

which is the other 7?

3:57 pm

jillibus

do your ferries synchronise their timing? Ours often don't.

3:57 pm

Atalante

did you have fun lugging your Great Danes around, jilli?

3:58 pm

Lizsark

No they don't Jilli - they're hopeless like that

3:58 pm

that would be easy, jilli!

3:58 pm

6:02 pm

Dorens

6:03 pm

Dorens

ok. time for dinner.... see you all later

6:03 pm

J. C.

HAHAHA, if I *was* HIM, jmc - I guess I'd be the espression a friend of mine uses a lot. 'Christ on a tricycle!' - only I ride a bicycle, as you see in my profile pic . . . :P

6:03 pm

nrkii

6:04 pm

6:04 pm

jillibus

6:05 pm

jillibus

JC, to belabour the point, see mine at 6:00 grid time

6:05 pm

J. C.

Hmmm . . . OK, Jill?

6:05 pm

J. C.

Oh yes - see it now, Jill.

6:06 pm

J. C.

Sorry, but I'm very dopey-drowsy, half asleep here!

6:06 pm

jillibus

I need a hot bath, a beer, and some good cold meds

6:07 pm

J. C.

Only just after 11pm, Jill - but I've had a long, tiring day.

6:07 pm

nrkii

and a transporter to get me back up to my parents tomorrow without the 4 hours of driving

6:07 pm

jillibus

I hope it was productive, jc

6:07 pm

J. C.

Yes, productive enough . . .

6:07 pm

6:14 pm

J. C.

The "Lickety's Babble Clues" list - that enables you to enter each word as yo ufind it, and it shows you which order your found words appear in - so you know where you are.

6:15 pm

sandyloo

but no pressure just nice fun

6:15 pm

J. C.

Erm, no - the words vary in length, but can't be any shorter than four letters.
