hi lynxxx, how are you
4:16 am
lynxxx

Very well. And you? gone out and stocked up on all the puppy stuff yet?
4:18 am
Andree

this afternoon, went to buy a bed came home sans bed but with $100 of halter,leads etc and toys lots of toys
4:19 am
lynxxx

I knew it!
4:19 am
Andree

can't decide on size of dog bed, they are a ridiculous price and i don't want to get the wrong one
4:21 am
lynxxx

Tell me...Stews size $100-$120 each...he has a summer & a winter one (yeah I know!) at least they are a once off purchase
4:21 am
Andree

i had an email with diet from breeder so got the puppy milk etc
4:22 am
Andree

thats the problem, i want it to be a one off
4:23 am
Andree

wow the small ones i saw were $80
4:24 am
Andree

i guess a summer and winter one makes sense
4:24 am
lynxxx

You should be able to get one with sides (snuggly for winter) but with a lift out cushion that can be used alone. You might find them cheaper at markets...do yo8u have anything like our Queen Vic Market?
4:25 am
Andree

not really, nothing like that wonderful market
4:26 am
Andree

i am meeting mrp for lunch tomorrow at hornsby, its a huge shopping centre so i expect to get something there
4:27 am
lynxxx

Probably. You can get quite good ones in $2 type shops (not for $2.00 though!)
4:27 am
Andree

i really don't mind the price but don't want to have to buy another as he grows, don't want too big as it won't be snuggly
4:28 am
Andree

thats a good idea , if i get a cheaper one i can throw it out when he is full grown and get the right bed
4:28 am
lynxxx

Just put a small blanket into it while he is small...like a cot blanket or buy a length of fleece fabric
4:29 am
Andree

i have already had to throw away the tag i had mad as i have changed my mind about his name
4:30 am
Andree

every time i thought beau, i could see a large springer not a little spoodle, was making me quite depressed, i guess you can't look back
4:31 am
Andree

his name is Hugo
4:31 am
lynxxx

Don't know if you saw this but before Sprite got her dog, the breeder asked her to bring a small blanket which she put in with the pups and the mother - then Sprite brought it home with Terra and put it in the dog bed
4:32 am
Andree

what a lovely idea
4:32 am
lynxxx

Hugo is cute - after Mr Weaving?
4:32 am
Andree

no after hugo in the vicar of dibly
4:33 am
lynxxx

lol
4:34 am
Andree

i don't think breeder was too happy with me, she had to go back to the vet today to have his micro chip papers changed
4:36 am
lynxxx

oh well ... it's only a minor thing - AI'm sure worse has happened to her

7:07 am

too funny - we are offering on a home in oakham mass right now.
7:07 am
Trifioso

not that plymouth and environs aren't lovely - they are. In summer.
7:07 am
Wolvie

it is tooooo hot here in the summer - 4 months of 90 - 100 plus with high humidity
7:07 am
Trifioso

I have never even heard of oakham mass! where is that, down the Cape?
7:07 am

7:13 am
Trifioso

I am actually wrestling with my options for snow removal for the upcoming season - I suppose I need a snow blower, but they are so expensive! I could buy a plow to put on front of my john deere riding mower, and do the driveway with that, but it would mean a LOT of work - our drive is about 900 feet long. Or, I could keep paying the kid up the street to plow with his truck, but if we get a bad winter that gets really expensive. what to do, what to do
7:13 am
Wolvie

Luck!
7:14 am
Wolvie

I would keep paying the kid up the street for now. that's what we used to do. those long drives are a chore
7:14 am
jacq

i would say get a plow, it will pay for itself before long
7:15 am
Trifioso

yes, you both are pretty much where I am! :)
7:15 am
crosshair

900 feet? get a blower for the tractor not a plow blade
7:15 am
Wolvie

yep - sounds like it. ;-)
7:15 am
Trifioso

what
7:15 am
jacq

heya crossy
7:15 am
Trifioso

what's a blower for the tractor, crossy?
7:15 am
jacq

how are you feeling today?
7:16 am
Wolvie

hi crossy
7:16 am
crosshair

a blower is a articulated auger that picks up and throws snow
7:16 am
Trifioso

where does it go on the tractor? on the front?
7:16 am
crosshair

it is much better than a blade for long driveways\
7:17 am
crosshair

on the rear in most case
7:17 am
Trifioso

googling now.....
7:17 am
crosshair

it hooks up to the drive shaft of most tractors
7:17 am
crosshair

via shear pin
7:17 am
Wolvie

sounds good crossy
7:18 am
crosshair

much better,it can toss snow long distances
7:18 am
crosshair

you dont hem yourself in with snow banks
7:18 am
Wolvie

if i get back up to snow country, I will look into getting one - thanks!
7:19 am
crosshair

np
7:19 am
crosshair

in sonow areas,with a 900 ft driveway a traditional blade is not up to it
7:20 am
Wolvie

that's what i was thinking :-)
7:21 am
Wolvie

brb - doggie duty time
7:22 am
Trifioso

well, there are two fun things to report - firstly, the description of the JD snow blades says "for snow removal only", and the picture shows a man using it to move mulch. LOL. Secondly, the blade costs $277, the snow blower attachment costs $1399
7:22 am
jacq

oh wow, we could start a fund Tri
7:22 am

here is exactly what im talking about...

7:25 am

ty for the site crossy. :-)
7:26 am
crosshair

and theese blowers are all mechanical,the only thing that wears out are the shear pins,so buy used
7:27 am
crosshair

universal joints etc,but all reg maintinence stuff
7:27 am
Wolvie

I bookmarked that site for future use. :-)
7:27 am
Trifioso

excellent site, crossy thanks!
7:27 am

7:27 am
Trifioso

I just need to rob a bank first, and then I am set! or maybe donate a kidney...
7:28 am
Wolvie

lol
7:28 am
Trifioso

LOL crossy, you don't know how funny that is! Last year my snow blower went to heaven after it "removed" a lost cell phone from a snow bank! The phone still works, the snow blower - not so much
7:28 am
crosshair

well for our station we used to pay almost 2000 per seasonal contract,so its a toss up,get a balde or a blower and it pays in 2 years,althoiugh i dont know what the snow load is like in your area
7:29 am
Wolvie

lol trif
7:29 am
Trifioso

one never knows....that is the issue
7:30 am

7:31 am
Trifioso

yes, crossy, I agree. but I am anxious that I don't run up a lot of credit card bills right now. I could really get myself in trouble that way

7:31 am

I really f'ed up yesterday, by the way - I had put a prayer request on FB, and never even thought that Primo would check his FB account at school, but he did, so that is how he learned Pepere was sick. Yikes
8:01 am
NonoNanette

Trif, if he particularly likes some sort of music take in a tape player or CD player and play it
8:01 am
Trifioso

that's a great idea, nono, thanks!
8:01 am
Wolvie

great suggestion nono
8:02 am

I thought of that too. Was going to check with the hospital on the regs though. May not allow it with all the medical hook ups in there.
8:02 am
NonoNanette

your welcome. I know it seemed to help my father inlaw when he was very ill
8:02 am
jacq

Trif, he might have found out through hearing snatches of conversation, don't feel badly, my daughters weren't told their grandmother was ill, because they were so young and we had just had a loss in the family, they still say how they felt about not knowing
8:03 am
Trifioso

though maybe I should put in some Zeppelin or something, and that would drive him to heal faster so he could sit up and growl at us to "shut that crap off!" LOL
8:03 am

speaking of science, Primo has a VERY fun physics teacher this year! monday they were assigned to bring in random items from home that they no longer needed. the teacher took them up to the roof of the school, and chucked the items off, and had the kids time how long it took them to fall.
8:20 am
Trifioso

the kids all had a blast with this project.
8:21 am
Trifioso

He does it every year, so the kids brought in some great stuff - an old computer, a watermelon, a 25 pound bag of flour (poooom!) etc. Primo brought in a rotisserie chicken from the supermarket, which apparently exploded very satisfactorily on impact.
8:23 am

My daughter is having a unit on density in her 8th grade science class this year... according to her teacher she is one of only 2 students who "get" it... God bless her... I was the worst physical science student ever!
8:25 am
Trifioso

this is gonna sound horrible, but, to me, if only 2 students are getting it, the problem is NOT the students
8:26 am
car.eeyore

Off to get haircuts. BBL.
8:26 am
mom2han8

Well, they are continuing to work on it, as it is a difficult concept... this teacher is excellent... part of the problem is that this class has many "self-contained" students... the concept itself is not simple.... that the density of a thing remains constant no matter what the weight, etc...
8:26 am
Trifioso

good luck!
8:27 am
Trifioso

yes, I see....
8:27 am

night everyone

Hi, neighbors. Happy Rocktober.
8:27 am
Trifioso

hey there judi!
8:28 am
mom2han8

I honestly think that any school has its fair share of poor teachers, but honestly he is not one of them.
8:28 am
mom2han8

LOL Trif...
8:28 am
Atalante

hi judi!
8:29 am
mom2han8

He came up to me yesterday and said that he felt bad that she was in that particular section, as he has to go slowly in that class... but nothing can be done at this point with the scheduling.
8:29 am
Trifioso

it's great that he recognizes her excellence and potential!
8:29 am
mom2han8

She was working on some kind of "challenge" homework yesterday... so, I guess he is trying to keep her engaged, which is a good thing.

clue for the second di 5/12
8:30 am

one of primo's teachers did that for him last year, and they both got a lot out of it
8:30 am
mom2han8

Yeah.... he is pretty perceptive... and he loves his job and subject area... I can tell you that much...
8:30 am
Judi

Zounds! I have smited the Z's!
8:30 am
Trifioso

same as the first one, boo, but switch out the fourth letter
8:30 am
Trifioso

zell done zudi!
8:31 am
mom2han8

I know that they say the way they make up the classes is better than when we were in school, but they absolutely separate the math whizzes so why not separate them all and do it the old fashioned way?? I don't know.
8:32 am
Trifioso

here they are leveled classes, reinforced, standard and accelerated, but not until 7th grade.
8:32 am
mom2han8

The other thing that amazes him (and me) is that she LOVES the metric system... she is so funny... she thinks it is the easiest thing in the world because it is based on 10, LOL!
8:33 am
Trifioso

well, she does have an excellent point!
8:33 am
mom2han8

She has been in advanced math since last year, algebra I this year... but we have such a small system that it is difficult for a variety of reasons to do it your way, LOL.
8:34 am
mom2han8

She actually asked him why they don't have metric time... LOL... she says the 24 hour, 60 min, 60 second concept is ridiculous, LOL.
8:35 am
mom2han8

OOPS... I meant that she asked me that question... I told her to ask him, maybe they do.... used in some sort of science or other... what do I know???
8:35 am
Trifioso

primo is in high school, a junior, and they have begun charging for AP classes. bums me out so much the number of things we have to pay fees for now - a fee to ride the bus, an activities fee to be in a school club, a fee to be in an AP class, $200 per quarter per sport, a fee to receive automated phone calls from the school - when does it end?
8:35 am
Atalante

tell her to find out the answer for herself :) it's an easy one to research
8:36 am
Judi

Uh oh, mom. Looks like you have a genius on your hands. She can always study the speed of light, mach speed, etc. Speed/time relative - or so I'm told. Personally, I'm a math dunce.
8:36 am
Trifioso

but you can bet the superintendent gets himself a big raise each year
8:36 am
mom2han8

That would not fly in NJ... I used to be on the Board of Ed... our high school wanted to charge the kids for AP tests and in the end we, as a board, had to absorb the fees.
8:37 am
mom2han8

Ata... she just asked me this morning on her way out the door (guess it occured to her)... so I did not have time to think of that one, LOL... she has this teacher for homeroom, so I just said... Ask Mr. X.
8:38 am
Atalante

*grins*
8:38 am
mom2han8

Judi... there are some things that catch her attention, but mostly she is just a normal 13-year-old kid.
8:38 am
Atalante

that's what my mother used to do with me when any science questions came up - "go and find out!"
8:38 am
mom2han8

Don't even get me started on superintendents Trif!
8:39 am
mom2han8

Ata... really is the best policy, but need coffee for brain to function as a human, let alone as a parent... she caught me prior to my first cup, LOL.
8:39 am
Judi

What's the story behind the fawn in your icon, Ata?
8:39 am
Trifioso

mom2, I actually find your comment comforting - I often feel our is such an anomaly, but I guess difficult ones are everywhere, aren't they?
8:40 am
mom2han8

We just got rid of ours, now on a search... thank God I am no longer on the Board, LOL.
8:40 am
Atalante

ouch! that's mean of her! lol
8:40 am
Atalante

oh - it's a fawn we rescued while I was in Oregon. He came back to Astoria with us, sitting on my knees, and he was given to the local wildlife rescue
8:40 am
mom2han8

But they are paying a consultant $6K to "assist" them.. kind of a crock, if you ask me.
8:40 am
mom2han8

Cool Ata.
8:41 am
Judi

How sweet! That must have been an interesting car ride!
8:41 am
mom2han8

But they "cut" the funds for our kids' yearbooks (basically the same amount)....
8:41 am
Trifioso

ata, that is such an amazing experience for you to have had! what does their coat feel like?
8:42 am
DR1965

good morning- how is everyone today
8:42 am
mom2han8

It kills me because we hired 2 principals while I was on the Board and I cannot tell you how many hours I spent going through resumes, interviewing candidates, etc... but the current board is mostly men who have "real" jobs... so they have no time for this nonsense, apparently.
8:42 am
Trifioso

hey there dr - all is still the same at my end
8:42 am
Atalante

a rather flea-infested car ride lol! and I had little hoof marks all down my legs from where he kicked the cr*p out of my legs!
8:42 am
mom2han8

ATa.... wow... sounds interesting!
8:42 am
Atalante

they have a really fluffy coat, but with strong coarse hairs overlying it. but they feel gorgeous
8:42 am

oh dear, ata! not exactly the bambi-bonding experience I was imagining!

I really like animals, but I have to admit I just don't know if I could have done that. Good for you.

2:50 pm

2:52 pm

yes he said hot compresses and washcloth in the same sentence, to get out the rest of the infection
2:52 pm

2:59 pm
redturtlehead

Wow Ata, I love the Liver and white dogs, but we dont see them often.
2:59 pm
Haz1558

Her husband chose wisely, I think.
2:59 pm
Atalante

I think so too
3:00 pm
redturtlehead

and with that comment, I am off to walk the dog in our supercalifragilistic-expiallydocious weather.
3:00 pm
Atalante

3:00 pm
Wolvie

hi red
3:00 pm
Wolvie

Haz1558

Bye red.
3:00 pm
redturtlehead

I want to do the grid, but I think he should be walked.
3:01 pm
Atalante

I think Teulu would agree
3:01 pm
Wolvie

;-)
3:01 pm
Haz1558

8 hours left to do the grid. You've got ages yet.
3:02 pm
Atalante

we had a lovely walk this morning - this is what I like abut Kent, within 2 hours we walked along a beach, along cliff tops, through woods and over moors
3:02 pm
Wolvie

yeah, yeah, rub it in. ;-)
3:02 pm
Haz1558

That sounds like fun, Ata, plenty of variety for you both.
3:03 pm
Atalante

it's just lovely to be able to do!
3:03 pm
Wolvie

di 6/21?
3:04 pm
Atalante

where do you walk Spangle, Haz? Woods? Fields?
3:04 pm
Haz1558

di6/21 - what you do to stuff to get alcohol.
3:04 pm
Wolvie

le sigh. ty haz
3:05 pm
Haz1558

Fields at the back of the hospital near us, Ecos centre has wooded walks, sometimes a reservoir near us, but living in the town she gets 'road work' as well.
3:05 pm
Haz1558

Did you like my precise 'stuff'?
3:05 pm
Atalante

how lovely! Hobbit needs more road work, she very rarely gets to walk along roads
3:06 pm
Atalante

it worked ... it worked ...
3:06 pm
Haz1558

She never needs her claws trimmed, that's one advantage.
3:06 pm
Wolvie

no no - i was bemoaning the fact that i couldn't see that one for myself. ;-0
3:07 pm
Atalante

I bet! I looked at Hobbit's claws before her trim and one was a *talon*. It was hooked!
3:07 pm
Haz1558

I know, Wolvie, I was laughing at myself for the woolly stuff that could mean anything.
3:07 pm
Wolvie

that's cool haz. ;-)
3:07 pm
Wolvie

even a queen can use stuff.
3:07 pm
Haz1558

Did you see the article in the paper talking about how they had to remove alcohol gel etc from a prison because the prisoners were making alcohol with it.
3:07 pm
Atalante

bet Lizzie never says stuff!
3:08 pm
Wolvie

i have heard of that before, yes
3:08 pm
Atalante

yes!! thats ingenious
3:08 pm
Haz1558

Ingenious but dear goodness, they must be mad.
3:08 pm
Wolvie

it's amazing what people will do
3:08 pm
Wolvie

or incarcerated. ;-0
3:09 pm
Atalante

or very very bored
3:09 pm
Atalante

getting put in prison is my greatest fear I think. I always have nightmares about it. I don't think I could deal with the non-stimulation
3:09 pm
Haz1558

What on earth must it have tasted like? Not much 'bouquet' to the product.
3:10 pm
Wolvie

second that
3:10 pm
Wolvie

that was for ata
3:10 pm
Atalante

about as good as meths I would think!
3:10 pm
Haz1558

You could write a novel.
3:10 pm
Wolvie

no bouquet would be correct, but i'm thinking they don't care
3:10 pm
Wolvie

hasn't that been done?
3:10 pm
Atalante

if you were allowed pens and paper! I have utter fear that I wouldn't be allowed *anything*
3:11 pm
Haz1558

Or make up babble grids 10 x 10.
3:11 pm
lynxxx

Goodmorning all
3:11 pm
Wolvie

you think you would be put away as a really bad a** , eh? ;-0
3:11 pm
Wolvie

hey lynxx!
3:11 pm
Haz1558

You could write it in your head. I see everything written in my head anyway.
3:11 pm
Haz1558

Good morning lynxxx.
3:11 pm
Wolvie

oh my - more torture.
3:11 pm
Atalante

war and peace in my head hmmm
3:12 pm
Wolvie

don't go to prison just to try it- just my 2 cents.
3:12 pm
Wolvie

;-)
3:12 pm
Haz1558

I'm sure Grandpa would have managed.
3:13 pm
Haz1558

Ata's grandpa, that is.
3:13 pm
Atalante

lol true. but I always start panicking that somehow I'd do something unintentional and end up there!
3:13 pm
Wolvie

i'm sure as well
3:13 pm
Wolvie

we'd come and get you ata
3:13 pm
Wolvie

who else would update pole cats of doom?
3:14 pm
Haz1558

I'm just realising, we normally chat in the mornings/evenings for lynxxx. We're all out of our normal pattern.
3:17 pm
lynxxx

Yes, the fact that you are here Haz has thrown me for a six - plus it's normally still dark when I wake up and today its daylight. Daylight Savings starts this weekend for us.
3:18 pm
Vicuna

Hello, all.
3:18 pm
Wolvie

i have no pattern really. Just take it as it comes. ;-)
3:18 pm
Wolvie

hey Vic
3:18 pm
lynxxx

hi Vicuna
3:18 pm
Haz1558

Hello, Vicuna.
3:19 pm
Vicuna

Is Ata going to prison? May as well make it spectacular if you're going anyway.
3:19 pm
Atalante

lol yay for pole cats of doom
3:19 pm
Wolvie

that's the ticket!!
3:19 pm
Wolvie

that name is catchy ata. ;-0
3:19 pm
Atalante

no! ata is being uber paranoid about ever managing to get to prison accidentally!
3:19 pm
Atalante

lol it was a joke originally, then stuck
3:20 pm
Vicuna

Anything "of Doom" is bound to be good.
3:20 pm
Haz1558

Do you like the lighter mornings, lynxxx? We have such dark winters here, we're practically begging for light once spring comes.
3:20 pm
Soodlebum

Ata. Here is a solemn promise. if I hear you are in prison - I will bake a cake with a file in it for you!! (Choclit & red wine cake!!)
3:20 pm
Atalante

that was my thought
3:20 pm
Wolvie

once heard, never forgotten tho.
3:20 pm
Atalante

yay!!
3:20 pm
Vicuna

One of my books is "Kate and Sam and the Chipmunks of Doom."
3:20 pm
Wolvie

I'll have the get away car waiting and ready to go
3:21 pm
Atalante

ok - who knows a pole cat as a weasel / stoat type thing and who knows about european polecats?
3:21 pm
Wolvie

lol - I will have to look for that one
3:21 pm
Vicuna

PB for Ata! Go to Babble prison!!!!
3:21 pm
Wolvie

prison for ata
3:21 pm
Soodlebum

I always thought a polecat was a type of ferret
3:21 pm
Vicuna

I thought it was a weasel-family thing.
3:21 pm
Wolvie

lol
3:21 pm
Atalante

ooooo
3:21 pm
lynxxx

Weasal yes, European no?
3:22 pm
Wolvie

i did too soodle
3:22 pm
Wolvie

soodle - keep your promise - send her some cake. ;-)
3:23 pm
Soodlebum

I think theres some choclit & red wine cake left in the PB. I just couldn't eat the last slice.
3:23 pm
Atalante

PCoD started when best friend informed me that she didn't know we had a something called a polecat over here lol
3:23 pm
Wolvie

okay - it will have to do
3:23 pm
Vicuna

Well someone go stick a file in the last piece, quick before the guards check it.
3:23 pm
Wolvie

;-)
3:24 pm
Vicuna

Will an emery board do?
3:24 pm
Soodlebum

I think Ata has escaped already
3:24 pm
Wolvie

me too soodle
3:24 pm
Atalante

wheee! *escapes*!
3:24 pm
Vicuna

That rebel. She never even went.
3:24 pm
Atalante

I never do LOL
3:25 pm
Wolvie

she's a little runaway...la la la
3:25 pm
Vicuna

Well, what's to be paranoid about? When they arrest you just tell them, "Sorry, I never do go to prison."
3:25 pm
Atalante

lol :) not sure that would go down too well with the police!
3:26 pm
Soodlebum

Yeah Ata! Jut out your lower lip, stamp your foot, and turn your back on them!!
3:26 pm
Vicuna

Speak politely but firmly and I'm sure you'll be fine.
3:26 pm
Atalante

I'll imitate Haz
3:26 pm
Wolvie

lol- just have it filmed please
3:27 pm
Vicuna

Haz has refused to accompany the police??!!?? Do tell!
3:27 pm
Wolvie

the queenly dismissal?
3:27 pm
Wolvie

or just the wave
3:27 pm
Atalante

lol well I meant in the dismissal aspect, but ....
3:27 pm
Haz1558

I'm pleading the Fifth.
3:27 pm
Atalante

I bet she got arrested protesting about Tesco
3:28 pm
Wolvie

then making the fifth in prison. ;-)
3:28 pm
Vicuna

You people don't even have the Fifth.
3:28 pm
Atalante

can we plead the fifth over here now we have a supreme court?
3:28 pm
Soodlebum

5 llamas & 3 goats escaped from a circus in Dublin today, and got out onto the busiest motorway (highway) in the country. Holy God!! Only in Ireland
3:29 pm
Wolvie

special roadkill indeed. ;-0
3:29 pm
Atalante

can you have Unholy God? *interested*
3:29 pm
Haz1558

And you can bet that they rang the vet.
3:29 pm
Soodlebum

If your waiting for the punch-line theres none. I am watching this on the news!!!!
3:29 pm
Haz1558

'We have a wee spot of bother on the road.'
3:29 pm
Vicuna

lol, Haz. Maybe you were pleading about the fifth goat.
3:29 pm
Wolvie

heh heh
3:30 pm
Wolvie

pagan maybe
3:30 pm
Wolvie

lol
3:30 pm
Vicuna

Sure, Ata. Everyone else's gods are always unholy.
3:31 pm
Vicuna

My son makes me say "unholy guacamole" because, he rightly points out, guacamole is not holy.
3:31 pm
Soodlebum

Sorry - that was a colloquialism! And I sure as heck am not going to start off a religious debate on Babble!! Lol lol
3:31 pm
Wolvie

amen soodle. ;-)
3:31 pm
Haz1558

I can't help thinking that it can't have been much of a circus with only llamas and goats.
3:32 pm
Haz1558

I wonder what tricks the goats had mastered?
3:32 pm
Vicuna

I had the same thought, Haz. Why weren't their elephants and two-headed camels on the motorway?
3:32 pm
Vicuna

*there
3:32 pm
lynxxx

or their clowns
3:32 pm
Soodlebum

True Haz! Specially as they seem to have been the only ones with the wit to make a break for it!
3:32 pm
Vicuna

(Actually, their works, too. I should have left my editing well enough alone.)
3:32 pm
lynxxx

(hate clowns)
3:33 pm
Haz1558

I'd have asked for my money back if I'd gone to that circus. That's a swizz.
3:33 pm
Haz1558

Unless they were disguising the goats and trying to make out they were some rare species or something.
3:33 pm
lynxxx

swizz - irish for con?
3:33 pm
Atalante

special Irish Goats
3:33 pm
Soodlebum

Tip of the day. If in Dublin - avoid all circus'es. The five llamas and 2 goats are impounded!! I jest not!
3:33 pm
Haz1558

Yes. You're so multi-lingual, lynxxx.
3:33 pm
Vicuna

Maybe the goats were the clowns. They seem to have the instinct for it. And maybe they were looking on the motorway for a very small car into which they could all pile.
3:34 pm
Wolvie

oh my - lol
3:34 pm
Wolvie

or eat
3:34 pm
Haz1558

They'll need to be inspected now, in case they're harbouring swine flu or something.
3:34 pm
Vicuna

You don't hear so much about goat flu and mad llama disease.
3:35 pm
Haz1558

There'll be a civil servant in the Ministry of Agriculture sweating his way through the rule book.
3:35 pm
Wolvie

no one lives to tell the tale
3:35 pm
Wolvie

heh heh
3:35 pm
Haz1558

E - escape of animals from C circus
3:36 pm
Soodlebum

The circus owner was interviewed on the TV- OUTRAGED. Complaining that the local council are charging too much for the release llamas/goats/clowns-in-disguise/whatev
er your having yourself!!
3:36 pm
Wolvie

rofl
3:36 pm
Haz1558

Oh, if they're dealing with the local council, they're really doomed.
3:36 pm
Vicuna

lol - circussing is a tough biz.
3:36 pm
Atalante

if goats are caprine what are llamas?
3:36 pm
Vicuna

camelid, broadly
3:36 pm
Soodlebum

Escapine
3:36 pm
Haz1558

Llamas defy definition.
3:36 pm
Atalante

LOL :D
3:37 pm
Vicuna

llamas are loverly
3:37 pm
Soodlebum

Imagine what the good folk on the M 50 thought???
3:37 pm
Vicuna

I'm only a vicuna because llamas were already taken! =)
3:37 pm
Haz1558

Maybe the goats and the llama had fallen in love and were trying to get to Gretna Green to get married.
3:38 pm
Atalante

can they swim or would they take the ferry?
3:38 pm
Soodlebum

Not to go back to religeon, but 5 llamas and 2 goats are vaguely reminiscent of the 5 loaves and 2 fishes. Maybe they were going to provide food for the poor of Ireland!!
3:38 pm
Haz1558

They'd take the ferry, although the passport thing might be a problem.
3:39 pm
lynxxx

lol Soodle
3:39 pm
Wolvie

lol
3:39 pm
Atalante

but if dogs aren't allowed, would llamas be?
3:39 pm
Haz1558

I'm told goats always blink when they're getting their passports photos taken. It's a problem.
3:40 pm
Atalante

assuming they would cross to stranraer lol
3:40 pm
Wolvie

;-0
3:40 pm
Vicuna

(Just tried to look up your scientific llama question, but the nearest I could find was that leeches are hirudine.)
3:40 pm
Haz1558

Only goats on the run would head to Stranraer, everybody else tries to avoid the place.
3:40 pm
Vicuna

Haz, that's because they're embarrassed about their horizontal pupils.
3:40 pm
Atalante

I did the same Vi and found a huge long list, in which llamas were the only ones with ???? next to their name
3:41 pm
Haz1558

Absolutely, it's understandable that those eyes would cause them distress.
3:41 pm
Vicuna

lol I think we'd better make it up and submit it to the lists.
3:41 pm
Haz1558

I told you - they defy definition.
3:41 pm

3:42 pm
leighprefect

Is everyone hanging out in the pb today?
3:42 pm
Haz1558

As in Llandudno. I used to know it was a bi-lateral something or other.
3:42 pm
Wolvie

seems like it. ;-)
3:42 pm
Atalante

talking about llamas
3:43 pm
Haz1558

We're sorting out escaping goats and llamas. These things are vital.
3:43 pm
Vicuna

I think we need something a little more original...
3:43 pm
leighprefect

I see..
3:43 pm
Haz1558

More original than llamine?
3:44 pm
jmcnrick

hi all
3:44 pm
Vicuna

Yeah. Their scientific name is lama glama, which is so glamorous.
3:44 pm
Haz1558

I wonder if Ogden Nash ever wrote any llama poems?
3:44 pm
jmcnrick

llama was in the grid a few days ago
3:44 pm
Wolvie

hi jmc
3:44 pm
Atalante

the scientific name is Lama
3:44 pm
Vicuna

Maybe they could be glamourine.
3:44 pm
Haz1558

He wrote about bovines. 'The cow is of the bovine ilk, one end is moo, the other milk'
3:44 pm
Soodlebum

Soodle beats chest in mortification. Its all my fault. I am sorry. Mae Culpa. I just told ye about the llamas and goats as a by-the-way. I never meant to cause this grief!!
3:45 pm
Haz1558

Soodle, content yourself, this is what babble should be about.
3:45 pm
Wolvie

no grief - this be good times!
3:45 pm
Vicuna

Grief? What grief? We're all as happy as llamas hereabouts.
3:45 pm
Atalante

3:45 pm
Soodlebum

And Haz - How about 'Cats have kits, dogs have puppies, but guppies just have little guppies'. I Lurve Ogden!!
3:45 pm
Wolvie

glamourine is too good for llamas
3:46 pm
Wolvie

heeheehee ata
3:46 pm
Vicuna

Nothing is too good for llamas!
3:46 pm
Haz1558

It gives you some insight into our strange minds, doesn't it?
3:46 pm
KatieMcG

Sorry guests came, back again after my very brief visit earlier

Haz1558

Behold the duck, it does not cluck, a cluck it lacks, it quacks. It is very fond of puddle and pond, when it dines and sups it bottoms up.

Drinking champagne again may well be addicted!
3:47 pm

Yay for jmc coming through with the Nash when we need it!

3:48 pm
jmcnrick

except for: i don't know why God made the fly
3:48 pm
lynxxx

with those eyelashes llamas are very glamorous
3:48 pm
Atalante

it's possible not to be addicted to champagne?
3:48 pm
Soodlebum

Jmc - that is sooooo good! Did you make that up, or is it our friend Mr Nash?
3:48 pm
Atalante

not as glamorous as my baby deer! he had the *longest* eyelashes!
3:48 pm
jmcnrick

ata how do the llama eyelashes compete with the fawn eyelashes
3:48 pm
KatieMcG

lol ata, not in my world!
3:48 pm
jmcnrick

that was my other favorite o nash poem
3:49 pm

3:49 pm
jmcnrick

I was forgetting ogden nash

3:50 pm
KatieMcG

3:50 pm
Wolvie

ata - I love champagne - s*** it over
3:50 pm
Haz1558

You should never forget Ogden. It should be in the constitution, the same as it's the Law of England.
3:50 pm
Soodlebum

My favourite Ogden poem is about Isobel. And my favourite line is when Isobel is sick. 'she took those pills from that pill concoctor, and Isobel calmly cured the doctor'!!
3:50 pm
jmcnrick

too true haz but i was talking about poetry which as a class of literature I am not fond
3:51 pm

4:14 pm

Pick one or more of the liberals from the list we have posted online at www.LC.org, or choose your own liberal(s) to adopt. If you are led to choose one or more of the liberals we have selected for consideration, please read their brief biographical statement, including the reasons they stand in need of prayer.

Pray earnestly and intensely for them! Pray that the Lord would move upon them and cause them to be the kind of leaders who will encourage others to lead "a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence." We encourage you to seek the Lord's guidance on how to pray for your liberal(s), always allowing Him to temper your prayer with His love and mercy.

I know of a couple. Wedding scheduled for 2 days time. Groom got cold feet & called it all off. She was OK about it, but asked that he turn up at the church, so that people would think that she had stood him up, and she would save face. Wedding day arrives. Groom shows up at church. So does bride. They got married, and have just celebrated their 25th anniversary. True story!

Babble - google WB Yeates - Peter Gilligan. Its just a reallly simple poem on first reading. And you can enjoy it as such. but, if you start thinking about it, there is so much underlying there. It might be a nice place to start

Scrabbler

Hello all
7:40 pm
lbdawger

Hi Scrabs! how's the new/old practice going?
7:41 pm
jillibus

It's a bit chilly here on the coast but nothing like the S word! That must be coming from north-eastern BC (which is probably a gift from Alaska).
7:42 pm
redturtlehead

Scrabbs Hi!
7:42 pm
jillibus

lbd, my cousin was a lovely red-headed lady who had a very unlucky life. She died many years ago while living with her loving sister.
7:43 pm

Old practice = chapter of history. New practice = functional, relaxed, efficient, with polite, competent, funny people!

Hi scrabs!
7:43 pm
Bugsaw

Hi Scrabbler. So good to hear!
7:43 pm
jillibus

Oh scrabs, isn't that great!
7:43 pm
Scrabbler

The contrast is stunning. I don't miss the old place at all.
7:44 pm

Bugs -- love your icon and story.
7:44 pm

Thanks for the clue Jilli
8:10 pm
Bugsaw

Another reason I am glad I read all your icons
8:13 pm
jillibus

found it in the flickrs, bugs?
8:15 pm
jillibus

bugs, your job sounds most rewarding for you and your students and most interesting.
8:15 pm
Bugsaw

I don't think so. I think you mentioned it once and I thot it was a very appropriate name for a Great Dane
8:16 pm
jillibus

Well, so did we!
8:18 pm
Bugsaw

I do love my job. I learned from my children who came as foster kids and stayed for life. I knew they learned differently and I figured it was my job as their mother to help them find the way that worked for them. My father was one of the pioneers of research into learning disabilities and I didn't think my kids qualified for years. I just thot they learned differently. Guess what learning disabilities are.... I was so ashamed when the light went on.
8:19 pm
Bugsaw

Someone asked me once what my passion in life was and I decided it was to empower people so they don't feel as powerless as I did for so many years.
8:25 pm
jillibus

I'd love to hear more about this, bugs. I think we all would.
8:26 pm
jillibus

Why did you feel powerless?
8:27 pm
jillibus

Why did you feel ashamed when the light went on about learning disabilities?
8:27 pm
jillibus

What did the light show you?
8:29 pm
jillibus

(Talk about ashamed! here I am at the end of the line and just found one of my favourite babblets -- the 2-toed sloth, un4/5!
8:30 pm
Bugsaw

Sorry Jilli I was in the grid.
8:32 pm
Bugsaw

My father was a wonderful man whom I loved dearly but who worked very hard. It meant we kids were home with an unstable mother most of the time. I never knew if what I was doing was correct and would garner praise, or terrible and would get a pounding. I felt powerless a lot at home.
8:33 pm
Bugsaw

At school the rules were more clear but I knew I did not think that same way as most people. I did not understand that I was accepted anyway.
8:34 pm
Bugsaw

I like to help kids recognize that their differences are not unacceptable to others. All kids want to be the same and it would be such a boring world if we all were the same.
8:35 pm
Bugsaw

ONe day I would love to meet you in person and hear more of your story. I am fascinated by all the places you have been and how much you learned from your father too.
8:40 pm
jillibus

Let's do that, bugs. You have my email address at the bottom of my bio.
8:40 pm
jillibus

When I was in high school I wrote a verse:
8:43 pm
jillibus

O, be not what you are not,
For you'll be not what you are,
And to be yourself and [I forget]
Is worthier, by far.
8:43 pm
jillibus

Oh dear, I've forgotten --will have to look it up!
8:44 pm
Bugsaw

I am laughing out loud jilli. Please find it for me. When I was a kid there was a cartoon about a turtle who always wanted to be some famous person in history but things never worked out for him.
8:45 pm
Bugsaw

His name was Tudor and his mentor would tell him at the end of every episode, "Be what you is Tudor, not what you is not. Folks what they is, is the happiest lot."
8:48 pm
jillibus

I found it -- in my high school yearbook for April, 1942 -- the missing word was "natural". There was another verse:
Oh copy not another,
For what a world 'twould be,
If one were like the other
As leaves are on a tree.

And of course some spoilsport had to point out that leaves on trees are not all alike.
8:49 pm
Bugsaw

I love it. I will copy it out with all the other neat stuff I find out from other Babblers.
8:50 pm
jillibus

Well, thank you!
8:51 pm

If you do the math, I was 15.

he is not overbreathing his vent, which is not so good, but they will see how he gets through the night and reassess in the morning.

9:03 pm
rururocks

search dogs?
9:03 pm
Trifioso

and now for something completely different - it is accurate that if you don't complete a grid, you somehow get punished for that in the rankings? Not "punished" I guess, but it is somehow worse to not finish than not start at all?
9:03 pm
rururocks

yw TO.. want to word rampage?

9:17 pm
lbdawger

makes you wonder what's in the oven
9:17 pm
jmcnrick

well the pizza probably broke the washer any way
9:18 pm
jmcnrick

oh I got my free pizza tonight from last weeks pizza debacle
9:18 pm

soggy boiled pizza...gah
9:18 pm
lbdawger

lbdawger

smart thinking, jmc
9:19 pm
jmcnrick

and she said "what is your phone number and what did I promsie you?" like she had forgotten it all
9:19 pm

Makes one wonder - perhaps the place is so bad she has actually lost track of how many people she has had to promise free pizza to, to make up for the lousy service they provide....
