2:21 am

dcseain

it's "...an opening in an underground mine that is sunk downward (as opposed to a raise, which is mined upward) from inside to connect lower levels. The top of a winze is located underground, in contrast to a shaft where the top of the excavation is located on surface."

2:22 am

2:29 am

jillibus

Is your doctor aware of this?

2:30 am

periwinkle

how can you tell that the toxins are not leaving your body?

2:30 am

mrpresident

not really dcs. after all the sh!t that has been through my body, it is a very good way to reset the toxin levels

2:30 am

mrpresident

absolutely! I see a doctor every day for urine test and physical and have bloods every 3 days.

2:30 am

mrpresident

would be insane to do a waterfast without a doc

2:30 am

jillibus

2:31 am

mrpresident

I am sluggish peri, energy is all over the place and I ache every second day

2:32 am

a friends dog chased 2 chickens, got a massive faceful of feathers and hurt the chicken... I thought she might die of shock!
Had to wrap her in a blankie and put her in my bed for the day (in the dark) and she lived up to her namesake... 'cuddles'

2:46 am

jillibus

glad she survived, mrp!

2:47 am

VolleymomDee

wow nice recovery

2:47 am

mrpresident

she is limping really badly, falling over at times and very sore!! I hope she does survive, cause birds die of shock a couple of days after an attack, sometimes

6:54 am

BabbleRabble

cluing has changed since I started

6:56 am

Wolvie

change is inevitable BR. ;-0

6:57 am

fuquayvarina

how so, BR?

6:58 am

movieman

hiya all

6:58 am

Wolvie

Hi movie!

6:59 am

movieman

7:00 am

Wolvie

don't have that yet movie, sorry

7:05 am

Boobear

hi all. Clue for we 7 pls

7:05 am

hurshy

more tired

7:05 am

Wolvie

hi boo, hurshy

7:05 am

hurshy

cluing has changed since brabble started in that he now gives half the clues :)

7:05 am

movieman

the climate, boo

7:05 am

jacq

hey boo

7:05 am

jacq

heya hurshy

7:06 am

hurshy

hey

7:07 am

fuquayvarina

hey hursh, hey movie

7:07 am

movieman

hey fuquay

7:08 am

fuquayvarina

I wondered how BR sees it. He does seem to have taken that role, but how has that affected other cluers? He also has a very distinctive style of cluing.

7:09 am

jacq

it used to be that clues were only asked for as the time was running out

7:09 am

hurshy

i wondered how he sees it too, since you asked, but since he was remaining mum, i thought i would make a little humor

7:10 am

fuquayvarina

That's interesting, jacq. I've only been playing for a year or so, so don't have the long view on it

7:10 am

hurshy

ah, jac, i think that goes further back than my time, and brabble hasn't been around as long as i have, i don't think

7:10 am

Wolvie

new players, new set up i guess jac. I remember cluing, but not so much as now

7:10 am

jacq

i only know that fuq because i saw it mentioned in chat

7:12 am

Wolvie

yes. I started in 06 or 7, IIRC - clues were asked for but only as folks were winding down. I am guilty of asking early myself. ;-)

7:13 am

fuquayvarina

but, what's "early" depends on where you are and when you start. Not everyone will be around at midnight, so it makes sense that people would be asking as they are finishing, whenever that is

7:13 am

jacq

i ask because i have a tendency to focus on a word i can't find it makes me blind to other words

7:13 am

Wolvie

me too jac - get too caught up sometimes

7:13 am

Wolvie

true enough FQ

7:13 am

jacq

i have seen me take an hour to find a word

7:13 am

Wolvie

like I am focused on the m's right now, lol

7:16 am

Boobear

clue for wi 7

7:17 am

fuquayvarina

wi7= 3/4 of a female spouse + ti4/4

7:17 am

hurshy

of course when i started, it was also much easier to go back and look through the log for clues, you didn't have to open up a new window to see the whole chog, it scrolled all the way back.

7:17 am

Wolvie

I remember that hurshy

7:17 am

Boobear

ty

7:17 am

jacq

you can look back through the chog???????

7:18 am

hurshy

yes, that little button up there on the right above the chog scrollbar

7:18 am

jacq

i never knew that

7:19 am

hurshy

it tends to really clog up your system though - esp towards the end of the day

7:19 am

jacq

see! learn something new every day

7:19 am

Wolvie

watch out for that ti ending on words today, it is everywhere. :-)

7:20 am

7:25 am

7:35 am

sprite

thanks TOwl :)

7:35 am

Wolvie

ty hurshy, i had the 8's but not the 9

7:36 am

Wolvie

good to know it's receding jac- sorry for the losses

7:36 am

hurshy

well, i have no 8's, but then, i'm only at the middle

7:36 am

lynxxx

I hope there are not too many like that Jacq

7:36 am

jacq

i know it's horrifying for these people to see their things lost, but better that than a loved one, thankfully nobody was hurt

7:37 am

sprite

sorry to hear that, jacq. Glad it isn't overall that bad, but it must be so tough to lose everything.

7:37 am

Wolvie

there is a co 8. :-)

7:38 am

jacq

when we went up we could see that some roads were still underwater all the induustrial area had been flooded again and the showroom carpets were outside waiting to be collected the fields were still underwater too there will be a straw shortage this year again now

7:38 am

hurshy

well i'm on the H so i'll keep that in mind when i get to the C next!

7:38 am

lynxxx

and I got me a ph7.36 & 8

7:38 am

Wolvie

wow - sounds horrible jac

7:39 am

72 Temple Owl

and did you fare ok in all this jacq?

7:39 am

sprite

my daughter is ill today, not badly, but with all the swine flu warnings I let her stay home for a couple of days anyway.

7:39 am

Wolvie

yep lynxx - the 8's were straight forward for me today. very odd. ;-)

7:39 am

hurshy

ph, eh?

7:39 am

Wolvie

yepper

7:39 am

jacq

i'm uphil TO and pretty far from any bodies of water, but.... they are building some badly needed new houses just up the street from me and the area they are building them flooded, and it floods every winter

7:40 am

jacq

stupid place to build houses

7:40 am

jacq

hope she is ok sprite, and rest is best

7:40 am

hurshy

i have ph7/40, but not 36... hmmm

7:40 am

lynxxx

..especially as (I think you said) they couldn't get flood insurance

7:41 am

sprite

she'll be fine, I am sure. THanks :) A bit of tlc will do her lots of good.

7:41 am

Wolvie

ph 7/36, then plural

7:41 am

hurshy

aha, got the buggers

7:41 am

Wolvie

rank something for the end hurshy

7:43 am

72 Temple Owl

sounds likea bad place to build

7:45 am

jacq

it is, it's right at the bottom of a slope, they built a huge house on the other side of that slope and it started sinking, a £1million house sinking even before it was finished

7:45 am

hurshy

it's ideal for the rich people... build houses you know will flood, then you get your other company that cleans up flood damage to do the work when they do...

7:46 am

fuquayvarina

hurshy

wolvie, you still say there is one?

8:12 am

hurshy

8:12 am

lol indeed!

8:12 am

Wolvie

hurshy, I typed as I posted, so to speak. bad habit

8:12 am

sprite

same here

8:13 am

Wolvie

that is a funny thing, when someone asks for a clue, I immediately look - most of the time it works

8:13 am

sprite

exactly :D But now it didn't. Luckily, hurshy knows how to handle confusion and frustration.

8:13 am

hurshy

most of the time people are asking from the list so the thing has to be real!

8:14 am

Wolvie

lol - i hear you hurshy - I may list soon - it would probably help

8:14 am

Wolvie

good point sprite. ;-)

8:15 am

10:22 am

Dorens

so peri, seems like you should talk to owl and see what works out for the two of you ... and as far as bbq's, as long as we spend this much time here, the friends we spend most time with are us, so we should have virtual bbq's going on all over the country

10:23 am

10:26 am

Dorens

i am going to a lobster feast at ken's country club.. traditional end of the summer bash... with some of his kids and four of the grands.. should be fun, will distract me from the crutches

10:26 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, mama.

10:27 am

mamabear

sounds awesome Dorens - have a great time (but be careful!)

10:27 am

kje

dorens - one good thing about the crutches... your arms will be toned and HOT! by the time you are walking again

10:28 am

Dorens

just trying to figure out how to steal some shrimp or lobster for tomorrow's lunch - sling a shoulder bag over the crutch? (it is a buffet type thing)

10:28 am

Dorens

haha kj, that is a good point. i am sore under the arms though even though I'm trying not to lean on them

10:29 am

kje

absolutely DO NOT let them lean into the axilla (arm pit)... can cause nerve damage... don't do it

10:29 am

periwinkle

124 left, bbs

10:30 am

Dorens

no i am not doing that... but i must be doing something wrong cause i am sore and i've hardly used them compared to how it will be when i'm at work tomorrow. i walk up and down the halls a lot

10:30 am

phaeton

clue for th7/36?

10:30 am

kje

no worries... you will learn to be efficient... and you will also learn to ask for help

10:31 am

whew! thats the way to get my min 1000 points in a hurry and only 47 words in lol

10:31 am

th7/36 - long version of a new idea that is proposed.

10:32 am

Dorens

ty k, i'm sure you're right

10:32 am

mamabear

poor dorens - crutches are NO fun.....

10:32 am

crosshair

great clues all cluers!

10:32 am

Haz1558

Or shortened version of Mr Roosevelt (four letters) and then ' you must ***ember this'

10:33 am

phaeton

thanks haz...knew what you meant, had trouble getting it right :)

10:33 am

Dorens

i'm sure i'll adaapt soon mb - i needed them once about 25 years ago after a skiiing accident tore my medial whatever in my knee. that was worse actually. had three kids, one only 2 years old, and bedrooms were upstairs. now it's just me, and i'm on one floor. shouldn't complain

10:33 am

mamabear

awesome clue Haz

10:33 am

kje

it's humbling, dorens... i suspect you are somewhat like me... independent, use to doing things on your own, hesitant to bother others for help... but it won't be so bad

10:34 am

Haz1558

Glad you got it, phaeton - and mama.

10:34 am

mamabear

wow I still need 24 7's

10:34 am

Gail

I am using a combo of crutches, walker and wheelchair after foot surgery. It's very difficult.

10:34 am

Dorens

poor Gail, sounds much worse

10:35 am

JBV

hi back again - just in time for the humbling comment - can I share a story that stopped my complaining about anything -

10:35 am

evanonut

all three at once would be very difficult gail

10:35 am

Dorens

go right ahead j

10:35 am

Gail

My right shoulder is really hurting from the strain.

10:36 am

JBV

worked in a school some years ago with a woman who was a human dynamo - did everything, top teacher, etc. etc. I knew her for 2 years before I found out she had had a leg amputated and was wearing a prosthesis!

10:36 am

JBV

she was an inspiration to anyone who might wonder how to overcome life's inconveniences

10:37 am

Dorens

up, there are some really amazing people out there who are truly inspirational. i am so not one of them

10:37 am

Dorens

yup, that was supposed to be yup

10:37 am

rururocks

I play tennis with a guy who has a prothesis and he is a top brain surgeon out here

10:37 am

mamabear

yes you are, dorens

10:37 am

Haz1558

Hello ruru.

10:37 am

JBV

but it's good to have people around like that to remind us of what is possible

10:38 am

Gail

That is impressive. I elected to have this surgery, so I am tyring to stay very upbeat. I know it will heal and I will be fine, so I stay as positive as I can. You find you can't prepare enough mentally, but I do have help. I am just too darn independent normally.

10:38 am

Dorens

well thanks mb, but i disagree. i'm ok, not really terrific, but not terrible either

10:38 am

dorens - don't put up with that from him... remember he is the one who decides at 50+ years to jump a tennis net and fell and broke his ribs

10:40 am

rururocks

oh sorry to hear that..

10:40 am

JenMO16

i got to go to work today :0(

10:41 am

Dorens

ooh, i didn't know that. i broke ribs this past year, x-country skiing on icy non-tracks we had no business being on. course i'm the onlyone of the 6 who were there who fell, but i went smack down on my chest hard. guess this has been a clumsy year for me

10:41 am

Haz1558

You've thought of wearing full body armour at all times?

10:41 am

kje

damn, dorens! you need to be more careful!

10:41 am

kje

LOL haz!

10:41 am

kje is embellishing the story a bit...

10:42 am

kje

moi???? i never do that

10:42 am

rururocks

clank clank clank.. here comes dorens

10:42 am

Dorens

but not an unlucky year, cause along with these two minor injuries, there were two separate occasions when drivers went out of control and came headon into my traffic lane, and both times managed to swerve and avoid personal injury (poor cars though)

10:42 am

rururocks

are you in a saturn cycle or something dorens?

10:43 am

Haz1558

I remember meeting my daughter's flatmate and being struck by her wonderful posture, standing up very straight. I then remembered that she was in a back brace after an accident.

10:43 am

Dorens

goodness haz, you remembered that before you commented on her wonderful posture? (need to look into that ruru)

10:44 am

hurshy

so if you have bad posture, you could wear a back brace to fix it?

10:44 am

Haz1558

I can't remember the sequence of events, but I remember being invited to knock on the brace to feel how rigid it was.

10:44 am

Dorens

actually ruru, my first answer to that was, no i drive an audi, and i didn't know that saturn made a cycle, i was in car

10:45 am

Haz1558

I don't know, hurshy, but it reminded me of those Victorian ladies all corseted and trim.

10:45 am

mamabear

well, I better get to work on this LABOR day that it is.... good to see you all - will probably be back later when I need a break!

10:45 am

Dorens

some do hursh, particularly if they have scoliosis

10:45 am

Dorens

later then, mamabear. (your turn, btw)

10:45 am

Haz1558

It was really good to see you again, mamabear. Enjoy your work.

10:45 am

Jeff7

af 6/30 please

10:45 am

hurshy

how long do you suppose you'd have to wear it before you got into the habit of good posture?

10:45 am

phaeton

whew! down to 13

10:46 am

Haz1558

af6 - in a new light, to see af6

10:46 am

fat chance, Haz!!! but thanks for the thought

10:46 am

phaeton

brb

10:47 am

Haz1558

I don't know, hurshy. You sound strangely attracted to the idea of a back brace?

10:47 am

72 Temple Owl

bye mamabear

10:47 am

hurshy

i have TERRIBLE posture and am afraid i will end up a hunchback

10:47 am

Haz1558

Bye mama.

10:47 am

Jeff7

ty :)

10:47 am

Haz1558

Then you really should go to a Swiss Finishing school and balance books on your head.

10:48 am

rururocks

or get a job ringing bells in castles

10:48 am

hurshy

somehow i think swiss finishing school would cost more than a back brace

10:48 am

Haz1558

Or else go to Africa and learn how to carry really heavy loads on your head, those African women have wonderful straight backs.

10:48 am

Haz1558

But you'd get to defy Cl. Gadaffi if you went to Switzerland.

10:48 am

Dorens

or go down to the west indies and walk with the women who carry baskets and enormous loads on their heads

10:49 am

72 Temple Owl

why didn't you come and rescue me? couldn't you hear me calling when my sleeve caught on the neighbor's frence and the mower wanted to keep going? haz who is the official bable rescuer?

10:49 am

Patxxx

Dorens, I don't know if anyone has said this but I had a bad time with crutches (Rheumatoid arthritis) but it improved when my son adjusted the height until I found the right level for me.

10:49 am

Dorens

oh, haz is right... they actually started in africa. but west indies is closer for hurshy

10:49 am

Haz1558

Whatever way you look at it, the pursuit of posture is going to send you travelling.

10:49 am

Dorens

oh,poor owl

10:49 am

rururocks

and then simple gardening is very dangerous for some people

10:50 am

Haz1558

The official babble rescuer? I'm not sure. Caitlyn mops up injuries...

10:50 am

Dorens

thanks pat -- i made them shorter this morning and it helped. the soreness under my arm is probably frm yesterday. particularly the long trek from the Er exit to my car.

10:50 am

Haz1558

Do we have a volunteer for knight in shining armour?

10:50 am

10:52 am

72 Temple Owl

and he has OFFERED to come over and help me for real

10:52 am

Dorens

10:53 am

Dorens, are you on crutches? It really upsets me to hear that people haven't been taught how to use them or even fit the crutch tothe right size these days

10:57 am

72 Temple Owl

and i DON"T have it! i'll take a penalty!

10:58 am

Haz1558

Never worry, TO, stay around, you've wrestled with a lawnmower, you deserve a freeby.

10:58 am

Nef

The crutch should come to the level of the arm pit and the hand support of the cructh should be at your wrist when you have the crutch right under your armpit and your hand hanging down in a relaxed position

10:59 am

72 Temple Owl

shirt WAS new though..i WILL NOT keep it around in hopes of figruing out a way to salvage it!

10:59 am

Haz1558

Don't be looking to m for ideas of how to repair the damage. I'd chuck it in the bin as well.

my SIL lost 1 1/2 fingers on a lawn mower

11:08 am

ok now can you helop me settle my case vs. the tree trimmers who trimmed the wrong tree?

11:08 am

jmcnrick

we talked about that one didn't we?

11:09 am

jmcnrick

I thought they admitted their error

11:09 am

72 Temple Owl

yes but they are not being so nice now

11:10 am

72 Temple Owl

i got a dunning letter and found out that the manager has control over who gets them from corporate

11:10 am

jmcnrick

what are the mean tree trimmers doing?

11:10 am

jmcnrick

then just tell them the will have to go to court to get the money and you will counter sue for the damage to your tree

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

well they will either adjsut the bill or remoe the tre but not the stump, they will only grind it and the spaceis of limited use if the roots remain

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

if they remove the tree should i still be compensated for its value?

11:11 am

72 Temple Owl

or is removel enough to square us away?

11:12 am

11:14 am

well I guess if that is the question then I would insist that they either grind out the stump or at the very least put stump remover chemical on it

11:14 am

that is the first one I think kje

yet without seeing the sign I get the clue kje

i did not but i knew it. not that i frequent liquor stores or anything

11:15 am

rururocks

75.. just went to the list

11:15 am

and not ask for compensation for the lost tree -- unless it was a particularly valuable one

11:15 am

kje

I have 130

11:16 am

jmcnrick

213 but will need to turn on a light soon

11:16 am

if they grind the stump the roots will still be there and the spot is ideal for veg grden since it has never been treated

they cut the rear branches that face the garage/house, you cannot see it but there is half a tree left

so find the value of the spruce, an estimate of the cost of removing the roots, and you will have an idea of what is fair.

Hello, Nonnie and Kate

2:33 pm

TraderKate

jets overhead here all day. air sow's on. snow birds and blue angels etc.

2:34 pm

NonnieLight

I enjoy the airshows. We would go a lot when I was a child and while living in California.

2:35 pm

Bugsaw

Snowbirds practice here every second year so we get lots of free shows

2:35 pm

TraderKate

same here, tho ottawa and toronto

2:35 pm

dcseain

i wonder what i did to get recruited so heavily by the food/beverage industry. *shrug*

2:35 pm

TraderKate

we have a huge one here every labour day...very international, and always lots of the antiques

2:36 pm

NonnieLight

Sounds like a fun one, Kate.

2:36 pm

TraderKate

BabbleRabble

How long before your son-in-law comes home, Nonnie?

2:36 pm

Bugsaw

schadenfreude pie, seain. You have good taste

2:36 pm

dcseain

hm. perhaps. thank you, bugsaw :)

2:37 pm

TraderKate

it is. i go to the lake at end of street and sit on shore and watch

2:38 pm

NonnieLight

Oh, I am so sorry...I have not updated! He arrived home safe and sound Aug. 16th! It was so emotional. A group (and I mean a large group) of Harley riders escorted them from the airport to the base. We were not expecting that and it choked a bunch of us up.

2:38 pm

Bugsaw

Llake at the end of the street? HOw wonderful.

2:38 pm

dcseain

how lovely, nonnie

2:39 pm

BabbleRabble

Great that he is home, Nonnie

2:40 pm

NonnieLight

It was dc! And yes, thank you BR :) His entire unit made it home safely.

2:40 pm

TraderKate

am right on lake ontario bugs, 6 houses away

2:40 pm

Bugsaw

I am glad that your servicemen are being well received when they come home now. I did not approve of soldiers in Vietnam but it would never have occurred to me to be disrespectful to those young men who served.

2:40 pm

dcseain

oh, wonderful news bout the unit.

2:40 pm

BabbleRabble

I thank the big guy for the good fortune

2:41 pm

Bugsaw

Kate I drive down to the ocean to watch their free show because they do so much close to the ground over the water. It makes the danger element so much clearer.

2:41 pm

NonnieLight

Indeed, br! I do every chance I get. I agree with you, Bugs.

2:42 pm

Takuma Sato

Good afternoon, everyone!

2:42 pm

dcseain

2:44 pm

TraderKate

hi takuma

2:44 pm

TraderKate

is that the van air show?

2:44 pm

Bugsaw

It IS craziness Kate but they are so skilled they make it look easy. That is the beauty of it.

2:45 pm

dcseain

it's kinda cool that 100 years later we're still fascinated by heavier than air flight

2:45 pm

TraderKate

i really like the aerobatics...but seeing the old lancasters etc is always nice

2:45 pm

Bugsaw

I live on Vancouver Island and we have an air base here.

2:46 pm

TraderKate

2:46 pm

TraderKate

quadra?

2:46 pm

TraderKate

nm, that's naval

2:46 pm

BabbleRabble

How much air is based there, Bugsaw?

2:46 pm

Bugsaw

Sometimes, on a pretty day that seems like any other day, I will look up into the sky and see a couple of jets carving out a giant heart in the sky.

2:47 pm

TraderKate

do you go to air shows dc?

2:47 pm

Bugsaw

A good lot BR tho not nearly as much as flat earth has. Ours has a good sea smell to it tho

2:47 pm

Bugsaw

Comox Air Base. Naden is naval in Victoria

2:49 pm

NonnieLight

Ah, dc...my old stomping grounds!

2:49 pm

Takuma Sato

2:49 pm

dcseain

I grew up near Andrews AFB and when I lived in my first "grown up all on my own" place it was near Fort Belvoir.

2:50 pm

dcseain

once, the Secret Service picinic was the same day as the air show at Andrews. Early 80s sometime.

2:50 pm

dcseain

oh, neat Nonnie

2:51 pm

Takuma Sato

we used to go to the andrews show every year when I was in HS

2:51 pm

Bugsaw

Quadra Sea cadet camp is here. My favourit place for long walks on the beach in winter. Too busy in summer.

2:51 pm

dcseain

2:52 pm

NonnieLight

I was able to see the presidential motorcade a time or two go by on the parkway from DC to Andrews.

2:53 pm

Bugsaw

My mind is off imaging the goings on at a Secret Service family picnic . . . .

2:53 pm

2:54 pm

dcseain

ah, the motorcade. years ago, walking with friends down Connecticut Ave, it was closed at Florida for a motorcade. Friend who grew up here and i sat on the wall next to the Hylton. Other person, who did not grow up here, went off on an embarrassing trade about being inconvenienced while the two of us tried to calm here and we apologised to others. sigh

2:54 pm

Bugsaw

2:54 pm

meliae

2:54 pm

Takuma Sato

I grew up in Silver Spring

2:55 pm

Takuma Sato

2:56 pm

NonnieLight

Cool...we lived in Bethesda in the early 80s and then Rockville late 80s and then back one last time in Gaithersburg.

2:58 pm

Takuma Sato

heh, the DC area seems to be one of those places that many folks move to at some point

2:58 pm

dcseain

indeed so, takuma

2:59 pm

NonnieLight

dc, too bad for you and your friend. I always thought of it as a little bit of history going by.

NonnieLight

As a federal worker, we'd get passes to go a visit the White House and stand on the lawn when a visit dignitary was in town. If we attended, we'd get the rest of the day off! One of life's little perks.

3:02 pm

6:49 pm

pigeonman

wi7 anyone?

6:50 pm

rururocks

wi4 + superlative pigeon

6:50 pm

TraderKate

6:51 pm

rururocks

I guess..

6:51 pm

nrkii

wi7 = w + perhaps + one who matches a score, or secures things with string or rope

6:52 pm

TraderKate

when he comes around ask him ruru

6:53 pm

rururocks

6:53 pm

TraderKate

6:55 pm

TraderKate

6:56 pm

scribekd

rururocks

I will be back later..at the flip.

7:29 pm

Dorens

how's school for you stid?

7:29 pm

stidmama

wonderful. so glad they are well. in October? isn't that just a tad young for Harvard? LOL

7:31 pm

inge

Gee, now I know of at least 4 young ones starting Harvard. The other three are teens though

7:31 pm

Dorens

i laugh stid. i have one son who's a professor there, one son who will graduate this may , and two grandkids there in daycare... what a legacy!

7:31 pm

stidmama

no kidding, dorens! mine are just... *shrug* ordinary. like me. which is okay as long as they are happy that way.

7:32 pm

stidmama

I meet people who are at places like harvard and I am just so overwhelmed by their intellect that I quite fade away...

7:32 pm

Dorens

mine are ordinary too, honest they are

7:32 pm

Dorens

and stid, you are far far from ordinary

7:33 pm

BabbleRabble

stid, you have completed favorably all your life... no reason for that fact to change now

7:33 pm

stidmama

??? well, I am extraordinarily

disorganized.

Did you see the pics I put up yesterday on the website? I made even more progress today so naturally the room looks even worse. LOL

7:34 pm

stidmama

(((BR))) you are wonderful!

7:35 pm

lbdawger

Harvard doesn't mean you're smarter than everyone else, it means you chose well, and got in.

7:35 pm

herinfernallady

waaaaaaaa I wanna go to Harvard

7:35 pm

lbdawger

of course it doesn't hurt to have smarts too!

7:35 pm

stidmama

I didn't even try for Harvard. The fast pace isn't for me. I also really don't like the competitive angle.

7:36 pm

Dorens

absolutely right lbd

7:36 pm

stidmama

LOL true!

7:36 pm

herinfernallady

scratches head s m a r t s like what's that :P

7:36 pm

inge

Harvard was only for boys in my days, so I went to Vassar

7:37 pm

Dorens

oh me neither. when i left NYU (got married halfway through college) , my husband went to med school in Philadelphia. I wouldn't have dreamed to applying to the university of pennsylvania (ivy league), only applied to Temple (state school) and good that i did. I graduated magna cum laude. that never would have happened at Penn

7:37 pm

stidmama

I didn't think you were that old, inge! Or maybe I didn't think HArvard was that silly for so long?

7:37 pm

herinfernallady

We have a couple of blue ribbon uni's here but they are a bunch of snobs.

7:37 pm

Boobear

clue for ne 6

7:38 pm

Dorens

radcliffe was for women when i wen tto college

7:38 pm

herinfernallady

Dorens and Inge what did you study?

7:38 pm

stidmama

well it isn't nerfer, boo!

7:38 pm

inge

Did you see the story of lthe Rochester Hills High school student, who found himself a family, instead fo Detroit Childens home (orphanage), and is now at Harvard?

7:38 pm

stidmama

I tried that...

7:38 pm

stidmama

what a great story, inge -- hadn't heard that one.

7:39 pm

Dorens

I was an english major at nyu,, switched to education when i transferred to Temple, herin

7:39 pm

inge

History, with a lot of Spanish and Economics

7:39 pm

herinfernallady

Wow Ing and Dorens.

7:39 pm

stidmama

Yes, lady -- I know that there are some good schools down under too! I am of the opinion though that the real determinant of success is not the school, but the student.

7:39 pm

BabbleRabble

ne + talk show host, **g** Philbin

7:39 pm

stidmama

Motivation, ability to ask the right questions, to persevere...

7:40 pm

stidmama

thanks BR -- another one down, only 222 to go!

7:40 pm

Dorens

one good thing about harvard, they do use their endowment to give deserving but disadvantaged kids a chance... they are full of kids with amazing stories

7:40 pm

herinfernallady

Stid one school told me even if i got Duex and certificates and such too friggen bad. Too old have a nice day

7:40 pm

rbud

ty, BR, and hi, all!

7:40 pm

stidmama

hey rbuf!

stidmama

oops rbud!

7:40 pm

BabbleRabble

my mantra is, when in doubt, mumble

7:41 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Rbud

7:41 pm

herinfernallady

I like that Babble

7:41 pm

lbdawger

hi br, hi rbud

7:41 pm

stidmama

At least we don't have that around here lady -- age discrimination laws would prevent it. Or at least land prospective students a tidy sum.

7:41 pm

BabbleRabble

Hello, Rose

7:41 pm

Dorens

oh herin, harvard has an "extension school" which is actually night school.. filled with kids like my son david who were brilliant but screwed up when younger, now that they are (average age 30) they deserve a chance.... terrific program

7:41 pm

stidmama

*mumble mumble mumble*

7:42 pm

Dorens

and less than half the price of regular harvard college

7:42 pm

rbud

checking out your flowery cane, Stid, might need one myself! did something drastic to my knee, don't quite trust it at the moment. And that was my *good* knee, sigh.

7:42 pm

BabbleRabble

Hello, Commodore

7:42 pm

herinfernallady

Dorens I like that idea. I was told I would basically have to pay $8,000 for one year then transfer into law. I was royally pissed. I did not complete high school as I had issues and I spent most of my 20's screwing up

7:43 pm

BabbleRabble

and Dorens and herin and peeples

7:43 pm

rururocks

interesting topic in your profile BR..what is that about?

7:43 pm

stidmama

being older this last year has really been an advantage for me. Not only do I have basic underlying maturity I lacked at 18; but I also really wanted to do well, so managed to get through... though of course the house and yard fell apart.

7:43 pm

Dorens

also Columbia University , another IVy League school here, has a similar night program

7:44 pm

Dorens

yes, David is so excited about his classes.. takes thm so much more seriously than someone ten years younger would

7:44 pm

herinfernallady

Hi ru. Ok I must love you and leave you. I have to go get dressed and count the days till holidays

7:44 pm

inge

Stid, I envy you for that cane. I ought to get one for myself. Keep hanging on to the shopping cart in the store and limp along elsewehre

7:44 pm

stidmama

good profile, BR -- I don't know if my Tom remembers how to flirt... LOL parenting takes too much energy

7:44 pm

rbud

I skipped my senior year of high school, went into college on an early entry program - never got a HS diploma. Still hard to explain on job apps.

7:45 pm

Dorens

hasta, herin

7:45 pm

rururocks

hi herin.. have a good time

7:45 pm

stidmama

oh, inge, get a cane -- BUT have a physical therapist make sure it's the right size for you and that you know how to use it. It really does help.

7:45 pm

rbud

bye for now, herin

7:45 pm

stidmama

au revoir, lady!

7:46 pm

herinfernallady

Rbud try this for an explanation. No references from any job I have every worked. 32 this year and nil experience techniqually

7:46 pm

stidmama

but if you don't have the right length or use it incorrectly it can play havoc with your shoulder (personal experience)

7:46 pm

jillibus

I have to go now, dammit (bridge night) but just wanted to say grandson (age 31) has moved to Vancouver from Montreal and will start his Masters in Creative Writing (Poetry) at the University of British Columbia right away.

7:46 pm

Dorens

good advice stid... i got crutches yesterday (sprained ankle) and they weren't adjusted properly... hurt a lot to use them... today, adjusted them and it's a whole new story

7:46 pm

rbud

oh, dear, that would be a problem, herin!

7:47 pm

Dorens

hi jilli

7:47 pm

stidmama

JILL!!!! (((hugs hugs hugs))) so glad he's more local now!

7:47 pm

rbud

hi and bye, jilli!

7:47 pm

inge

I am reluctant to ask my doctor for a referral to a physical therapist.

7:47 pm

stidmama

why, inge?

7:47 pm

Dorens

he's near you jilli? nice!

7:48 pm

7:50 pm

stidmama

ah. I understand, inge. well ... if you have to see the doc for anything else, do ask. AND ask if you can get a handicapped placard as well. That has made a lot of difference to me at times.

7:51 pm

inge

Gotta go. Bye till tomorrow. Gute Nacht

7:51 pm

stidmama

I only use it when I need it, and so I have enough energy to do what I have to do -- rather than spending it all in the parking lot.

stidmama

8:13 pm

crosshair

8:13 pm

stidmama

the 7/44 is the participle of the verb -- I think.

8:13 pm

Dorens

not really, depends on how you look at it.. i had a hard time with it, but then when i looked at it with new eyes, a different way, i found it

8:14 pm

stidmama

hey cross!

8:15 pm

Dorens

you can have my bacon cross.. it's sitting in the fridge waiting for you

8:15 pm

crosshair

watched the final episode of mash on history channel(that it is on history channel is scary!) still as fine a finale as it was when it first aired;))

8:15 pm

stidmama

it is a good one, cross. the whole series was excellent. But sometimes too close to reality.

8:15 pm

Dorens

probably the best finale ever, cross.. and stid, thanks but i don't get that

8:16 pm

crosshair

indeed

8:16 pm

rbud

I was always mildly entertained by the thought that the series lasted longer than the war.

8:16 pm

stidmama

take the fr 5/18 adjective, and turn it into the verb using a helping verb... I have to fr7 up for my date

8:17 pm

Dorens

ok that explains it. i'm looking for the second FE 7, not fr7

8:17 pm

9:06 pm

Jacula

We had a mystery in our house earlier. I came back to my computer after being out shopping and then cooking dinner etc., to find a jpeg on my dsktop that I hadn't put th5/12. It was a salacious pic of a naked woman with a tattoo on her flank. I accused Other Half first but he claimed innocence. I asked my son, my stepdaughter and even rang my daughter to see if she had put it there. They all said that they hadn't. In the end, Other Half said it must have 'jumped' from one of his spam mails. Hmm. Anyway, we ran a virus scan (named Luke Filewalker) and nothing was found. Still a mystery how it got there.

9:06 pm

harpjane

complete with several bodily functions....

9:06 pm

Jacula

Harp - That's my lucky number, too!

9:07 pm

harpjane

cool jac! We married on 02/02/2002

9:07 pm

wow jacula! did you check the history?

9:07 pm

jmcnrick

interesting spam

9:09 pm

jmcnrick

whew 1/2 way!

9:09 pm

Jacula

Didn't get chance, Trif 'cos Other Half stuck it in the 'bin' and emptied it. I don't think he put it there intentionally; like he said, he wouldn't have left it on the desktop. LOL

9:10 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm pretty fast action there by OH jac! lol

9:11 pm

Jacula

Harp - that adds up to 8.

9:11 pm

harpjane

you can still check the history

9:11 pm

so it does, jac

9:11 pm

9:13 pm

harpjane

and was released from the hospital at 2:22 a.m.

9:13 pm

Jacula

Let's add up the date of my doomed marriage (not my relationship now, we're 'living in sin')... 5 + 3 = 8 + 1 = + 9 = 18 + 7 = 25 + 7 = 32. 3 + 2 = 5.

9:13 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm food poisoning doesn't sound too lucky to me

9:13 pm

harpjane

We arrived home the next afternoon at 2:22

9:13 pm

harpjane

well, except for the vomit it was a great honeymoon! : )

9:13 pm

Guess, I should have worked that out before, rather than thinking of the 2 7's (also one of my lucky numbers).

9:13 pm

Trifioso

I had a new passport 'photo taken today. So glad to get rid of the awful one from 10 years ago. However, I was told to take my specs off and I wasn't allowed to smile even a little bit. I still look like a scarey old bag, but not so bad as in last decade's pic. Mind you, once they've put the hologram oon the pic, I will look like a terrorist in need of a shave, if Other Half and Stepdaughter's passport pics are anything to go by.

jac, car.eeyore and I have a running contest to see who can get the WORST driver's license photo. the photos are always awful, so we go BIG to see who can get the worst one. I ruled last time - stuck my head out the window the whole way to the registry (which in my case brings me into chaka kahn territory.....) and ugly make up, the whole nine yards. When clerks in the store ask to see it they bust out laughing.

9:31 pm

jmcnrick

glad we will be able to identify you when you are coming here

9:31 pm

Trif - any chance of seeing that one? I'd love to have a laugh at your expense. *grins*

mc's left her purse in the car? I would neverleave any valuables in the car, especially not my handbag (purse).

9:37 pm

Jacula

A purse in the UK is the thing you keep your money, cards and keys in. That is then put into your handbag.

9:37 pm

Trifioso

I left my purse in my car. safe as houses - we live WAAAAAY back in the woods, and the car is most likely locked anyway.

9:37 pm

Trifioso

it's only at risk of coyote attack, really

9:37 pm

Trifioso

besides, I would rather if a thief did wander down here, they just take the purse out of my car and be on their merry way, and leave us in peace

9:37 pm

Oh, and your handbag contains most things ;vital' to your every day running of life. LOL

When pushing him in his pram to the village aand back, I often had to do things to entertain him, to stop him bawling his head off... they included doing a Thundrebirds impersonation, and one of a goldfish in a bowl.

I hope 'Step' gets up for school later, but no doubt her Dad will ring her at about 8am and her friend will be at the door half an hour before school starts. She arrived a couple of hours early on the first day of the new school year earlier. Didn't realise that all but new starters didn't need to be the4 before 10.50am.

Step's friend is a tiny black girl (even smaller than me , and I'm only 5' 2") with huge eyes. Her family came her 'not long ago' (maybe in the last 20 years). both her parent died and she is looked after by a siter and some relatives. I haven't questioned her yet, but I thin she may be a reufugee from Rwanda.

The thing aboutour local high school is that they accept all, hear the story but don't pass it on to the students. They leave it up to the kids to tell what they want to if they want to.

11:03 pm

Jacula

Hence, Step's story of her mother who prefers the pervo b/f not being told. That's proabably best all round.

11:04 pm

Jacula

HI Meliae.

11:08 pm

Jacula

My main thing about Step's possibly Rwandan friend last school year was surprise and then delight when she first rang our doorbell. At 5 foot 2 inches tall, I tend to look above me whenI open the door to callers, I did that when V first called and couldn't see anyone until I looked below my chin. At last! There she was! Someone smaller than myself who was over the age of 11.
