1:33 am

Just1Mar

aww c'mon pav...we're "merican" too...North American and we gotta stick together us huge landwise democratic nations in this nasty world of today

1:34 am

germericanqt

it's true jilli, we're a very egocentric country, it's very annoying

1:34 am

Just1Mar

you got the people, we got the land and natural resources...so ....which is worth more or are the 2 equal with what they bring to the table?

1:34 am

PAV3

I puree strawberries anywhoo for my cheesecakes...I actually tested out of North AMerican history before my freshmen year at Mich State...I began my social studies requirement with a junior level poli-sci class

1:34 am

jillibus

I get so annoyed at US weather maps which stop at the Canadian border as if it were Terra Incognita

1:35 am

westford

we took your trees after the Chicago fire

1:35 am

Just1Mar

1:36 am

westford

when were you at Mich State pav?

1:36 am

germericanqt

yeah, i took the most recent election as a very hopeful sign

1:36 am

PAV3

Alas... I don't think I'd be able to go after all..I just realised I'd have to have some sort of document that tells the world I'm an "American" in order to get back home....

1:36 am

1:37 am

germericanqt

my passport is valid for a bit longer. can i come visit?

1:37 am

1:37 am

westford

my sil wants to come visit but she doesn't have a passport yet

1:37 am

jillibus

Get a passport, fer hevvin's sake! I've had one all my life so I can go anywhere reasonable

1:37 am

germericanqt

i work at a chinese bistro and the fortune cookies keep telling me to travel. but they don't give me any money to pay for the trip.

1:38 am

PAV3

I graduated HS in '79, started MSU on a 4-yr scholarship, with stipend that fall, and by Dec made plans to transfer to NM...MSU business school was on academic probation, they didn't want me to graduate from an un-accredited institution

1:38 am

westford

that's what I told her we've always had them too

1:38 am

germericanqt

easy there just, plenty of us hate the machine as much as (or more than!) outsiders

1:39 am

westford

1:39 am

jillibus

I think Canada should absorb the USA ;)

westford

1:40 am

I've met DHS Sec Janet Napolitano's dad when I work-studied at one of the cancer labs at UNM...then briefly worked for Ms. Janet when she was our Attorney General...and then she fired me when I became ill and couldn't do my job...I blame her lackies for not caring enough to see me through...she has bad choices in subordinates..and 5 months later I got back into state service and have been there for a bit over 6 years...

1:46 am

PAV3

as I've said before..the good Lord put me where I'm needed whether I like it or not....I can only do the best with what resources I'm given...I don't do greed very well

Just1Mar

1:47 am

1:47 am

I'd like to think I'm more open than most, and coming from a very small town in the midwest USA, it's amazing what simple things actually do pique my interest...I live in Phoenix, 5th largest metro-area in the US...I get lost outside of 30 miles from home...

1:54 am

germericanqt

what is the clue for me 8?

1:55 am

germericanqt

Yay, nbt!

1:55 am

westford

I'm not so sure just so many people I know just care about themselves and their families don't see the bigger picture

1:55 am

1:57 am

Kazzer99

ha 4/5

1:57 am

PAV3

NM does not hold my interest any longer...the native americans are just like us, only perhaps poorer, the scenery is flat and bland for the most part, and the job market is def "who you know, not what you know"...I was scoffed at for being snobbish when I first moved there, they just weren't educated enough for me...I stil lrefer the NM as being a bit backwards..def slower pace with not much to do...

1:57 am

2:38 am

westford

and Auntie Mary Jane

2:38 am

Just1Mar

well I think the younger ones don't and haven't for quite some time but the older ones??? no??

2:39 am

westford

we bought a 23" flat screen tv for one of the bedrooms and it turned out to be a monitor

2:39 am

Just1Mar

awww crap

2:39 am

Just1Mar

can you exchange it?

2:39 am

westford

hope so I have the receipt

2:40 am

westford

bought it for Maine we're so nice to our renters

2:40 am

Just1Mar

gotta be careful these days...so much tech stuff out there

2:40 am

westford

the tv was on display so we grabbed the box that was under it and assumed that's what we had

2:41 am

Just1Mar

lol you sound like my hubby...

2:41 am

Just1Mar

i always READ...:)

2:41 am

westford

we don't even have desktop computers any more or we'd just keep it

2:42 am

westford

he swears he checked the serial number...

2:42 am

Just1Mar

I'm sure they'll exchange it

2:42 am

westford

thing is we thought we were getting a good bargain

2:42 am

Just1Mar

might have to get another size tho...

2:42 am

westford

we should have known

2:43 am

Just1Mar

another of life's lessons west...

2:43 am

westford

no free lunches

2:44 am

Just1Mar

nope...not in this part of town

2:44 am

westford

they have come way down in price

2:44 am

westford

are you enjoying your new TV?

2:44 am

Just1Mar

yes they have and I'm sure you'll get a great deal on a TV

2:45 am

westford

if we have any money left as the builder gets through

2:45 am

Just1Mar

yes it's pretty nice....but living in Quebec we get less HD stations than in other parts of the country cause many of the HD stations are in French and I ain't interested

2:46 am

westford

we have DirecTV and lately it always goes out get a few local channels and that's it

2:46 am

Just1Mar

I do not watch french tv

2:47 am

westford

we watch it in Maine sometimes just so I can try to figure out what they're saying

2:47 am

westford

have one channel there from Quebec

2:48 am

westford

we also have lots of tourists

2:48 am

Just1Mar

it's so hard to explain here...but we use the cable station that's available here cause it services our bedroom tv too but has less variety cause there's more french but...

2:48 am

westford

did you get the DVD player hooked up?

2:48 am

Just1Mar

if it took the phone satelite...I'd get more choice but would have to buy to set tops for both tv's (a fortune)

2:49 am

westford

I think we rent ours

2:49 am

Just1Mar

we have to buy no choice

2:50 am

westford

I'd chuck the whole works but then we'd have to get one of those digital boxes

2:50 am

Just1Mar

yes dvd player is hooked up but don't even use it....I just download whatever and transfer it to the media player that plays it on the tv

2:51 am

westford

we have Apple TV must be similar

2:51 am

Just1Mar

at least this way I get my money's worth from by ISDN internet! lol

2:51 am

westford

takes forever to download

2:51 am

Just1Mar

not for me with the site I use...

2:51 am

westford

what is ISDN?

2:52 am

westford

ours goes through the DSL very slow

2:52 am

Just1Mar

not cable hi speed but phone hi speed

2:53 am

Just1Mar

I can d/l an hour long tv show (which is really only about 46 minutes) in about 10 minutes

2:53 am

westford

ours is phone..but slow they keep promising to hook up to FIOS but that will be forever away

2:53 am

Just1Mar

what is FIOS?

2:54 am

Just1Mar

a 2 hour movie takes about 20 min

2:54 am

westford

fiber optics operating system I think

2:54 am

westford

comes through the phone line but uses existing sat. wires

2:54 am

Just1Mar

unless it's an HDTV (much bigger file)

2:54 am

westford

we d/l a movie and it took 23 hours lol

2:55 am

Just1Mar

oh well fiber optics is supposed to be fast and good, no?

2:55 am

westford

it was HD but really

2:55 am

Just1Mar

well was it from a peer to peer site...??

2:55 am

westford

that's what he says he can't wait

2:56 am

westford

we streamed it from our computer

2:56 am

Just1Mar

peer to peer means that while you're downloading, others are uploading off you...that is really slow....

2:56 am

westford

not sure if it was peer to peer

2:56 am

Just1Mar

where I d/l from there's no upload to others...

2:56 am

westford

oh I don't think so

2:57 am

westford

but maybe that's why it took so long

2:57 am

Just1Mar

I have seen so much TV and movies westie....at first it was taking me almost the same time as you but I've evolved lol

2:58 am

Just1Mar

with thanks to my son...for showing me the way...

2:58 am

westford

you're an expert now lol

2:58 am

Just1Mar

no...they call us leeches...lol

2:59 am

westford

2:59 am

sprite

usenet, 1Mar?

2:59 am

westford

2:59 am

Just1Mar

2:59 am

Just1Mar

3:00 am

sprite

ah ok, thanks :)

3:00 am

Just1Mar

you join for free...

3:01 am

Just1Mar

it was a little confusing for me at first, but then found my way to d/l tv shows, movies etc which I watch on my pc or...

3:01 am

westford

is it like hulu?

3:01 am

Just1Mar

I bought this unit that plugs into my tv ...so I transfer what I've d'l'ed onto that device then plug it into the tv and watch it there too...

3:02 am

Just1Mar

I don't really know what hulu is westie cause it won't allow Canadians to use it :(

3:04 am

westford

probably the same I just checked out your site and I think I'm going to like it

3:04 am

Just1Mar

This site....TVFL (TVFreeload) has people who upload tv shows and movies to a site wherebye you can d/l from....all you are doing is downloading....there is no peer to peer ...which means than people are uploading off you while you are d/ling off others....so easy to explain yet so hard too

3:05 am

westford

what's the name of your device?

3:05 am

Just1Mar

well if you have any questions westie about it, just email me...

3:05 am

westford

I get it

3:05 am

westford

but I'm sure I will have questions

3:06 am

Just1Mar

I forget I'd have to go upstairs to check but basically it's a "media player" that takes the .avi files that most visual medial is used and allows it to be played on your tv

3:07 am

westford

appletv is sort of the same but only takes movies etc from iTunes

3:07 am

westford

so they cost

3:07 am

Just1Mar

I bought it in Toronto...but it's made in Calif....

3:07 am

Just1Mar

or rather it's sold out of CA prob made in China :(

3:08 am

westford

was just thinking that lol

3:08 am

westford

and now for a Babble question

3:09 am

Just1Mar

well this is free....when you use it for free...you have usually a 45 second delay...and maybe an ad but that's a small price to pay for finding whatever you want, whenever you want

3:09 am

westford

left corner t I have the mistake and the froggy what is the other please?

3:09 am

westford

I don't mind ads I remember when cable first came out we paid to avoid the commercials now that's all there are

3:28 am

3:28 am

westford

it's nice of you to do that with all you're going through

3:30 am

Just1Mar

well...we've been doing it all along even when I couldn't do much....hubs would do everything from working, then shopping, then shlepping, preparing,,cooking then cleaning up, then driving everyone home...

3:30 am

Just1Mar

sigh..tired thinking about it

3:30 am

westford

yikes me too

3:30 am

Just1Mar

but he wanted to....

3:31 am

westford

we all live too far away from each other to do that and I can hardly get my mother to come here

3:31 am

westford

a few times I've brought everything over to her house and it was just not worth it

3:31 am

Just1Mar

sigh westie....he is the child of a holocaust survivor....he'd do anything for his mother

3:31 am

Just1Mar

I understand that westie...

3:32 am

westford

and I understand him as well

3:32 am

Just1Mar

if I had to do it all over again tho...I would NeveR marry a child of a holocaust survivor

3:32 am

westford

is he an only child?

3:33 am

Just1Mar

too much fu**ing guilt and guilting is serious stuff

3:33 am

Just1Mar

no he has a sister who is less than 2 years older than him

3:33 am

Just1Mar

she moved to Toronto back in 81

3:34 am

Just1Mar

there was another child but she died very very young in the gulags of Siberia

3:34 am

westford

so she's just around occasionally?

3:34 am

westford

oh how terrible

3:34 am

westford

how long has your mil been in Canada?

3:34 am

Just1Mar

used to be occasionally but now if once a year that's alot

3:35 am

Just1Mar

since '58

3:36 am

Just1Mar

but one of her daughters gave birth to the first great grandchild (late last september) so MIL goes to TO 2 or 3 times a year now

3:36 am

westford

trying to do the math where was your husband born?

3:36 am

westford

lucky she can still travel

3:37 am

Just1Mar

my husband was born in germany ( in the refugee camps) after the war was over (47) THe daughter was born in Siberia....just before the war was over...

3:38 am

Just1Mar

they emigrated to Israel for a few years then came to Canada in '52 or '53

3:38 am

westford

the things people have been through it breaks your heart

3:38 am

westford

does he remember any of the early years?

3:38 am

Just1Mar

yes for sure...

3:39 am

Just1Mar

I am not a religious person whatsoever but did you know that there are only about 13 million Jews worldwide?

3:39 am

westford

I know there are not many heard there are more Jews in NYC than in Israel

3:39 am

Just1Mar

about 6 million live is Israel...4 million in the states and the other 3 million scattered across the globe...

3:40 am

westford

I got my figures mixed up

3:40 am

westford

but still when you think of it that's not very many

3:40 am

Just1Mar

and there are about 400 million muslim arabs in the middle east...yet we are the scapegoats and the threat to world peace

3:41 am

Just1Mar

very few in fact

3:41 am

westford

Israel is standing up for her rights

3:41 am

westford

one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs is Neighborhood Bully

3:42 am

westford

do you know it?

3:42 am

Just1Mar

I regard my heritage as both Canadian and Jewish....and both are totally non secular....

3:43 am

Just1Mar

I am just a traditionalist....and my philosphy is ...live and let live...that's it ..that's all

3:43 am

westford

I still say mothers should rule the world

3:43 am

mrpresident

hi again... can anyone tell me about 'costco'??

3:43 am

Just1Mar

let me live my way in peace and harmony and you go live whatever way you want to but don't cross me...

3:44 am

westford

it's great mrp lots of bargains but you have to buy in bulk

3:44 am

Just1Mar

or women

3:44 am

Just1Mar

what would you like to know about Costco, MrP?

3:44 am

westford

they've taken ours away

3:44 am

westford

and I miss it

3:45 am

Just1Mar

it is a warehouse club store where prices are cheaper but selection is minimal...but top brands sold there and you have to sign up to be a member

3:45 am

mrpresident

ah, bulk buy!! they haven't mentioned that at yet....
allegedly, Costco is coming to our shores and they want us to know what to expect

3:45 am

Just1Mar

oh you'll love it MrP

3:46 am

westford

the cost of a membership is about $35 a year and you can save that the first time

3:46 am

Just1Mar

westie my hubby shops there every week!!!

3:46 am

mrpresident

their big drawcard is that costco has NEVER had withdawl from a foreign market

3:47 am

Just1Mar

and also here, in Canada...they only take cash...debit card or Costco AMex

3:47 am

westford

we have BJ's now it's similar but I liked the electronics at Costco never had to bring anything back

3:47 am

westford

mrp if you have a place to store stuff it's great..i.e. 36 rolls of toilet paper

3:48 am

Just1Mar

we have a lot less than you in choices westie (although other provinces have much more selection)

3:48 am

westford

I only write checks at BJ's since someone hacked into their system and we had to change our credit card numbers

3:49 am

Just1Mar

we always buy that stuff in bulk...they also have great meat...bakery....all kinds of stuff

3:49 am

Just1Mar

what's BJ's??

3:49 am

westford

the trick is if you see something you like you'd better buy it because next week it will be gone

3:49 am

westford

same as Costco

3:50 am

westford

the store in NH sold beer and wine the one here doesn't

3:50 am

Just1Mar

Well at Costco tho....products remain ongoing for many months/years...

3:50 am

mrpresident

we have something similar here called Campbells Cash and Carry, but they don't have denim and diamonds as well

3:50 am

Just1Mar

at least most of them

3:50 am

mrpresident

they are not allowed to sell alcohol here at costco

3:50 am

Just1Mar

lol well not sure about the diamonds but the denim,,,yeah for sure

3:51 am

Just1Mar

here they are only allowed to sell beer and wine but in Mexico, Costco sells hard liquor...depends on the country's laws

3:51 am

westford

when we lived in the DC area there was a great costco I bought some lovely waterford champagne flutes for a song

3:51 am

westford

here it goes by state

3:52 am

Just1Mar

and here by province...

3:52 am

mrpresident

the laws here are solid... if children can come in with parents, no alcohol sold

3:52 am

westford

that's a good rule

3:52 am

Just1Mar

but I go (used to go) to Mexico every year and even the WalMart there also sells hard liquor beer wine etc

3:53 am

westford

same in VA could get it all in the supermarket

3:54 am

Just1Mar

a litre bottle of Kaluha sells for 10$ US in Mexico...here a 750 ML bottle sells for 305 CAD

3:54 am

westford

mrp when are they expecting costco to arrive?

3:54 am

westford

wow did you bring a lot back?

3:55 am

mrpresident

they have started building, and reckon it will be ready to trade in 6 weeks

3:55 am

mrpresident

you mean 30$ CAD??

3:55 am

Just1Mar

and they had 90 proof kaluha if you wanted it

3:55 am

westford

that's quick

3:56 am

Just1Mar

no westie I usually bring back 2 1 litre bottles of Bailey's Irish Creme for $25 US

3:56 am

Just1Mar

we're only allowed on bottle per person :(

3:57 am

westford

when we go on cruise we bring back the alloted amount and then forget we have it

3:57 am

Just1Mar

4:03 am

westford

please send the recipe for the ribs too

4:04 am

Just1Mar

sure

4:04 am

westford

I really like the idea of boiling them first with vinegar

4:05 am

Just1Mar

it makes them sooo tender but the simmering (not boiling) shrinks them up the bone a bit

4:05 am

Just1Mar

otherwise you'd have to slow cook them for many hours...

4:06 am

westford

simmer first then bake?

4:06 am

Just1Mar

and that's just not practical

4:07 am

Just1Mar

and will send it to you too spritey...won't forget :)

4:07 am

Just1Mar

bake or grill on bbq

4:07 am

westford

grill in maine oven here

4:08 am

Just1Mar

4:08 am

westford

4:08 am

Just1Mar

well stop promising and just do it!

4:09 am

westford

ok

4:09 am

Just1Mar

sounds like a nike commercial

4:09 am

westford

it does lol

4:09 am

Just1Mar

you can do it in the oven but I'd just broil them at the end to crisp up the marinade

4:10 am

westford

mmmm

4:10 am

Just1Mar

4:10 am

westford

4:15 am

herinfernallady

Bye Just

4:15 am

westford

do you have Woolite or something similar?

4:16 am

herinfernallady

What is that?

4:16 am

westford

what is it you're going to wash?

4:16 am

herinfernallady

I am sick of taking Mr Stinky to the dry cleans only to have Mr Stinky is still stinky

4:16 am

westford

it's made for hand washables like lingerie and sweaters

4:16 am

herinfernallady

Its my long lestat coat

4:17 am

westford

that sounds very nice

4:17 am

westford

going to wear it to the wedding?

4:18 am

herinfernallady

No wedding here now.

4:18 am

herinfernallady

No its stinky

4:18 am

westford

I'm sorry I keep messing up that wedding was last Thursday?

4:19 am

westford

can you just air it out?

4:19 am

herinfernallady

Mr Stinky is stinky I would take it to a dry cleaner but I am still unsure as it goes to the dry cleaner and comes back stinky. Yes there was a wedding last week

4:19 am

westford

what about Febreze?

4:19 am

westford

supposed to take smells out of fabric

4:20 am

herinfernallady

Nope this is high density MR Stinky

4:21 am

westford

silk is hard though I bought a silk sweater set and it must have come over on a fishing boat or something just could not get the fishy smell out

4:21 am

herinfernallady

ewww

4:22 am

lynxxx

Hand wash it Infernal - got some velvet soap or similar? Can take reasonably warm water. Just be careful ironing it...not too hot, easy to scorch. A trick is to put it into a plastic bag after it is dry and into the fridge before you iron it

4:22 am

westford

yes it was awful finally had to throw it away

4:22 am

herinfernallady

Thanks Lynxx. The fridge?

4:22 am

westford

hi lyn what a good idea

4:23 am

herinfernallady

eww West

4:23 am

herinfernallady

I wouldn't Iron it. IT is silk inside lining

4:23 am

lynxxx

I'm saying fridge but it might be freezer

4:23 am

herinfernallady

Why the fridge Freezer?

4:24 am

lynxxx

Oh, it's not all silk? What is the rest of the fabric?

4:24 am

lynxxx

Fridge makes it easier to iron

4:24 am

herinfernallady

I think the outer *not otter* is cotton

4:25 am

lynxxx

Linen perhaps?

4:25 am

herinfernallady

Maybe not sure all i know is its stinky

4:26 am

lynxxx

Look at the contents label, sometimes on right side seam at thigh level if not on neck

4:26 am

herinfernallady

There is no label. Its very old

4:26 am

herinfernallady

and stinky

4:27 am

lynxxx

More than 30 years?

4:27 am

herinfernallady

No about 15

4:28 am

herinfernallady

(and stinky boy that i got it from didn't wear deodorant)

4:28 am

lynxxx

There must have been a care/contents label then (by law). Look at the side seam, perhaps under the lining if loose

4:29 am

herinfernallady

It was hand made

4:29 am

herinfernallady

and has been repaired

4:30 am

lynxxx

Anyway, I am guessing if it is silk lined then it is probably linen, which is hard to iron. I would hand wash and dry in open air. Then take it to a dry cleaners for press only

4:31 am

herinfernallady

The dry cleaners just cant eliminate the taint

4:31 am

westford

calling it a day bye all

4:31 am

lynxxx

...which is why YOU wash and dry it, and they JUST press. Should solve your problem

4:32 am

lynxxx

bye West

4:32 am

herinfernallady

Night West.

4:32 am

herinfernallady

Really I thought that they cleaned it hence the Dry Clean

4:35 am

herinfernallady

Sorry to sound dumb

4:37 am

lynxxx

They are just going to spot any noticable stains and throw it into the machine with the cemicals. A good loving gentle handwash by yourself is going to be more effective

4:38 am

lynxxx

...as long as you are sure that the fabrics are 'natural' and not synthetic mind you

4:38 am

herinfernallady

I honestly never knew that Lynxx thank you. The previous owner has said that it survived the clubs its indistructable

4:42 am

lynxxx

I used to have a few white and cream silk shirts and gave up drycleaning them when I noticed how yellow they were becoming with the drycleaning chemicals. Ironing was a bitch however

4:43 am

I got smoke odor out of a quilt by tumbling in a dryer with Lysol spray....for a good while mind you.

4:58 am

forwardbyfaith

me7 please?

4:58 am

Hunter

my mother-in-law gave me a beautiful quilt that her mother had pieced and someone else finished. to my chagrin, whomever finished it used *shudder* glue to "assist" in binding and now the glue has yellowed. any ideas how to clean that?

4:59 am

Haz1558

me7 - a huge natural pea container

4:59 am

gdine

What kind of glue??

5:00 am

Hunter

elmer's glue, i presume.

5:00 am

REG

for the fish smell Borax might work

5:01 am

gdine

I would try hand washing.....soak in a bathtub with soap, not detergent. Let the water drain out when you are done. You can spin in the washing machine, just don't agitate.

5:02 am

Hunter

soap? you mean like hand-soap?

5:03 am

REG

elmers is water soluble - though maybe not after years! a long soak might allow you to wash it out

5:03 am

REG

Could it be that iron-on binding?

5:04 am

Hunter

it has been many years. but if it's water soluble early-on, then maybe i can get lucky now.

5:04 am

Hunter

no, it's definitely not iron-on.

5:05 am

Hunter

you're talking about fusible link, right?

5:05 am

REG

Right -- fusible stuff.

5:06 am

Hunter

sorry, fusible webbing. :) fusbile link is different altogether.

5:07 am

Hunter

no, i've seen that and this is hand-sewn, but there's glue. my mother-in-law asked the lady she'd comissioned to finish it and she admits it's glue.

5:07 am

Hunter

(shame on her)

5:10 am

Hunter

thank you, REG. i hadn't thought of trying something as simple as your suggestion. it probably cannot hurt.

5:15 am

REG

I used to use Elmers to put the badges on my sons' scout uniforms before sewing them. It kept them in place better than pins

Soodlebum

Sorry Eva - havent got to the 8's yet

5:20 am

gdine

Sorry....had to dress for the gym....soap for hand wash would be things like Ivory Snow or Woolite...or if you are hard core, order Orvis from a web site or get it at a farm supply, also used to wash animals...I'm not kidding! And using glue on a quilt is not horrible. It just should have been washed right after the stitching was done!

5:20 am

But for some unknown reason my husband changed the settings so it has not run a full scan in a while.

7:48 am

Trifioso

Funny you should ask, Annie - I swear, the house heater turned on yesterday, and I had to put the heater on in the car this a.m. for the early school run. Suckage.

7:48 am

8:05 am

BabbleRabble

a + pot or a *** and he works for the minimum w***

8:05 am

Trifioso

I have been wondering - the number of grids must be finite, right? There are only so many combos that could result in a significant number of workable english language puzzles....

8:05 am

Norma

flosey a + cooking utensil + how old you are

8:05 am

flosey

thanks BR

8:05 am

flosey

and Norma

8:06 am

Trifioso

eventually we will have been presented all the grids there are to do, yes?

8:06 am

BabbleRabble

doubt it

8:06 am

speedfreak

will we remember if we repeat a grid from say 3 years ago LOL

8:06 am

BabbleRabble

the number of words keeps increasing

8:07 am

Trifioso

really, br? I was wondering....I mean, if one grid was all J's, or had no vowels, it wouldn't be an acceptable grid.

8:07 am

Trifioso

someone will remember, speed!!!

8:07 am

BabbleRabble

add in more foreign words

8:07 am

speedfreak

sure won't be me already forgot yesterdays

8:08 am

okay, need to run now.....reading to the 4th grade for the last time this year. we are finishing up The Little Prince today, so you can BET I will be puffy eyed and sniveling in an hour!

Unless my math is wrong (which it might be!) This is the number of possible permutations of letters to make grids. I don't see us running out anytime soon: 6.15611958 × 1036

Anniebrook

Hi {{{Uni}}}}

8:11 am

Anniebrook

di8

8:11 am

Trifioso

but here's the rub, uni - a good number of those grids will be completely useless - all cons, all vowels, no actual words in, all one letter, etc. I couldn't figure out an equation for how many workable grids there would be.

8:11 am

Uniquity

That doesn't consider wether we can find words in it or not, of course, but as long as there is one word, it is a grid, soo..

8:12 am

Read-Knit-Bake

clued at 7:55 by bichon

8:12 am

Uniquity

It's still gonna be a very large number. More than enough to take us through our lifetimes, I would assume.

8:12 am

Trifioso

good to know! thank uni, and now I am really running!

8:12 am

this time really going to do something around house RKB talk to you later....

8:13 am

Atalante -- a few weeks ago you and another discussed the Chalet School books, and mentioned Green Knowe ... I had missed them ehen they first came out (already a teenager) but I checked them out, and discovered Lucy Bolton. I want to thank you (and 'the other' ), for the initial heads-up. I'm now reading her autiobiography. Thanks, again.

1:50 pm

Atalante

but we eventually got everything done, and got home to find that gran had left her house key in the front door to my utter horror and her not caring less *sigh*

1:50 pm

Atalante

it was probably Haz, Christine :)

1:50 pm

jmcnrick

does she live in a bad neighborhood?

1:51 pm

Atalante

luckily, no

1:51 pm

Atalante

apparently she does it nearly every week *facepalm*

1:51 pm

BabbleRabble

di 7 -- add, ducks on the *o*d; and those in need of funds may seek a l*** from a bank ... good luck these days

1:51 pm

Sandieangel

1:53 pm

jmcnrick

1:54 pm

Atalante

wow! all doors get locked here. except if you live on Sark

1:54 pm

Christine

1:56 pm

jmcnrick

my housekeeper thinks I am crazy

1:56 pm

Christine

I lock my door only when I go to bed, or am to be away overnight, otherwise I close the door and the screen, and off we go. Of course, I live in an apartment complex where everyone is DD's age, so I think they look after me as an extra Gran'ma, and would be aware if someone came to yje door.

1:57 pm

KatieMcG

oh my cleaner is back tomorrow :-) thinking she may have jetlag so will give her another week lol

1:57 pm

jmcnrick

1:59 pm

KatieMcG

Mari is my cleaner, can't wait to see them again

1:59 pm

2:18 pm

Christine

I didn't realise that you graduate from year 8? Does that mean that they don't have to go to school after that?

3:47 pm

crosshair

oh yes,school is mandatory till they are at least 16 which would be finishing grade 9,but they are advised to finish grade 12 and get the diploma

3:47 pm

phaeton

they start with graduation from Kindergarten...then it depends on the school whether they want a ceremony for when the kids leave for another school

jesdraggon

bye, inge. just remember, being a right decision doesn't make it easy; you need to do what's right for the dog, not yourself. And if it ever becomes an easy decision, it's time to stop having pets.

If they were edited by me they'd be just fine

But noooo, they pick the C students from English class and tell them to make it to their standards for proper english

5:39 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ah, you mean edited by students who haven't LEARNED anything about ENGLISH. Oy oy oy

To be honest, I don't like when you aren't taught something that they don't believe in

5:48 pm

Rushie

If one teacher doesn't want to talk about it, then another should

5:49 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

you talking about evolution?

5:49 pm

Rushie

Pretty much

5:49 pm

Rushie

I also don't like being forced into something like a religion

5:50 pm

Rushie

I like to make my own choices about what I want to believe. Good thing I wasn't forced to read the Bible, I would have thought it fiction.

5:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

no, i don't think it was refusing to teach it, just being un-educated on it, and unable to teach the basic theory of natural selection correctly

5:50 pm

Rushie

Some of the older schools don't even teach things they don't think matter

5:50 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

see, it made no sense to me until i read up on it, outside of school

Hey

6:10 pm

westford

what a nice way to spend your time..babbling

6:10 pm

J. C.

I sent you a reply on MySpace, westford - sorry it was brief, but I'll reply properly when I can. ;)

6:11 pm

westford

it's fine JC I don't know where you find the time

6:11 pm

dart001

flight doesnt leave for 2 more hours....but it was raining off and on..so not sure if they'll delay any flights

6:11 pm

J. C.

Time? It only takes a few minutes to type a reply . . .

6:11 pm

lynxxx

Interesting conversation, thanks. My husband and I were talking about this the other night...he made the comment that Americans believe themselves to be the centre of the universe (world) and therefore only need to know about themselves. This was not said nastily by the way but on reflection actually makes a lot of sense

6:11 pm

westford

I'm not supposed to be here but I talked him into leaving tomorrow morning

6:11 pm

inge

dart, our daughter BAbbler Sydaria lives in Las Vegas.

6:11 pm

6:12 pm

dart001

6:12 pm

kje

6:13 pm

lynxxx

hi kje

6:14 pm

westford

JC it may only take a few minutes but the world is full of procrastinators and I am one of them

6:14 pm

Soodlebum

Lynxx - I agree -(babblers excepted) I read somewhere that only 23% of Americans hold passports. And thats fine - they have every possible holiday destination within their country. But in terms of global experience, they may be called a bit narrow. (will I be stoned for that)

6:14 pm

J. C.

Well, I should think it's fairly obvious I'm not, westford - can't afford to be! ;) I wish I could more, though!

6:15 pm

inge

91 degrees in SE Mihcigna, and suppre is calling. Later.

6:15 pm

kje

last an6?

6:15 pm

J. C.

Every possible holiday destination in their country, Soodlebum? Hmmm . . . I can think of plenty that aren't in the US. ;)

6:15 pm

westford

these a words are killers

6:15 pm

kje

101 here

6:16 pm

J. C.

What are you stuck on, westford?

6:16 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

inge is right. it's effing hot here!

6:16 pm

westford

1st ag 5/14

6:16 pm

lynxxx

possible TYPE of holiday destination Soodle meant JC

6:16 pm

Soodlebum

Come on , JC - sunshine, skiing, cruising, mountains, valleys lakes, You name it... the US has it

6:16 pm

westford

it's probably a plural of the ag4/6 which I don't have either

6:17 pm

westford

and tall buildings you can leap at a single bound

6:17 pm

J. C.

The second ag4,6 you mean?

6:17 pm

westford

yes

6:17 pm

lynxxx

ag & G*** Autrey (spelling?)

6:17 pm

J. C.

A + 'oh g**, I didn't see that!'

6:18 pm

72 Temple Owl

soodle: can europeans travel freely within the EU, or are passports needed?

6:18 pm

westford

I have that one lyn thanks

6:18 pm

dart001

turn the argument around...when you live in a smaller country...it's easier to see everything and then you want to go outside your bounds....not defending U. S. lack of foreign exposure..but

6:18 pm

westford

have that too JC thanks

6:18 pm

J. C.

And the ag5,14 following it is as lynxxx just clued . . .

6:18 pm

J. C.

Oh, sorry!

6:18 pm

J. C.

Which is it you need, then?

6:18 pm

westford

that's why I said the a's are killing

6:18 pm

kje

it's mostly an expense issue...

6:19 pm

westford

stop picking on me lol

6:19 pm

Soodlebum

Sorry for the delay Temple. Yes - since 1992 there is free inter-country between all EU countries

6:19 pm

lynxxx

ag5.14 ag & going, going, g***

6:19 pm

kje

you can't really drive anywhere (for most americans - you are looking at days and days of driving before you even hit a border) so that means flying and crossing bodies of water... most familes cannot afford that

6:19 pm

westford

there are too many of the same

6:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean to us, it is so wonderfully exotic when brits say they are gong on holiday to frence or italy or greese - no big ocean to cross. and of course there is the cost, in our large country there is a wide variety of economic strata...it seems standard of living in some european countries is much higher actually than ours.

6:20 pm

lynxxx

ag4.6 & 5.14 - drop the last vowel of word just clued

6:21 pm

kje

the real comparison is what % of europeans have left europe... not left their countries... my state is bigger than almost every european country

6:21 pm

westford

ty !

6:21 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

I have a short list of things they should teach in public schools but don't. example: What do the various shapes and numbers of highway signs mean?

6:21 pm

Soodlebum

Temple!! I am IRISH. Not brit!! And yes - it is wonderful to travel across the continent with no frontiers.

6:21 pm

J. C.

HAHA, I can drive to France easily from where we are, TO - through the Chunnel. (We're in Kent). So it's not 'exotic' at all . . .

6:21 pm

72 Temple Owl

going to europe is only a dream to many

6:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

another example: What does it mean to claim a deduction?

6:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

soodle: i am aware you are irish.

6:22 pm

westford

that was it lyn tyvm now I have my ag's

6:22 pm

dart001

agreed...i've been to 43 states...only missed new england 6 and W.V. ...could see those in one trip.....if every state had a different language and culture..imagine that

6:22 pm

J. C.

As is going to America, for many here, TO . . .

6:22 pm

Soodlebum

Me and my family have driven to Greece from Ireland. Not only did we not have to show passports, we didn't have to change money. it was a pleasure

6:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

sounds exotic to me

6:22 pm

westford

dart you must come to New England

6:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

6:24 pm

J. C.

Absolute paradise on earth . . .

6:24 pm

72 Temple Owl

uh...okay...i KNOW the irish flag. my statement should more propoerly have said: when my firends ata and haz and fmitch and rolin talk about going to france or greece or italy, it sounds so exotic.

6:25 pm

westford

I've never been to Yosemite

6:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

6:25 pm

westford

6:26 pm

Soodlebum

Dont know if you Americans know it, but the single Euorpean currency , the Euro, has many faces. Each individual Euro county has its own coinage. My kids had a competition to see who could collect all the various coins from each country we passed through. They really loved it

6:26 pm

6:27 pm

72 Temple Owl
