sounds like quite an honour granny, good for you

2:31 am

congrats, granny!

2:31 am

grannyrose

it's very humbling, at the same time exciting!!!!

2:32 am

flosey

what does that involve granny?

2:34 am

grannyrose

it means i, along with 2 others virtually tell our vicar how our church needs to be run. also involves decisions like priorities regarding maintenance, and whether he commits heresy at the pulpit

2:35 am

flosey

well, that is quite an honour, and quite an involvement

2:36 am

crosshair

good morning everyone;)

2:36 am

jillibus

That last one sounds tough!

2:36 am

grannyrose

in other words, as laity, we have to keep our vicar in line, get to decide where our fiscal funds are spent, and generally act as a buffer between our cngregation and our vicar.

2:36 am

jillibus

hi crossy :)

2:36 am

flosey

Andree

i am with you crossy, my needs get less as i get older, had my 66th birthday last week

3:09 am

crosshair

actually he got me a nice beard trimmer last year,having a beard takes more work than being clean shaven

3:10 am

Haz1558

A scarf to keep you warm on the walks and to hide the beard on the days when you just can't be bothered to trim.

3:10 am

BabbleRabble

I just let my beard grow until people start crossing the street upon my approach

3:10 am

crosshair

lol br,sure thats the beard? lol

3:10 am

Andree

one of my gifts was 2 tickets to see "wicked " in january

Crossy, if it works, I can't see the problem but it seems to matter a lot to others.

3:14 am

Andree

i cannot stand the drama of the shopping, finished my christmas shopping over 2 months ago, just have the 2 teenagers to buy for now

3:14 am

crosshair

why would i spend 600 dollars on a cell phone that does everything but make toast? first thing id do is drop it in a puddle

3:14 am

rolin

3:14 am

rolin

3:21 am

crosshair

i look at those i=phone commercials and shake my head

Andree

my kids get their emails on theirs, i am so behind the times

3:23 am

crosshair

lol andree,remember making an overseas call on the old trans atlantic cable? you had to wait for the operator to get you hooked up and there was a 7 second delay so you had to speak carefully

3:23 am

6:28 am

EspritdJean

what's wrong aussie?

6:29 am

Aussieme

my cousin lives in Aus... She has been bitten 3 times by a white tail spider, she is on her way to hospital now...

6:29 am

EspritdJean

yikes

6:29 am

EspritdJean

what does google say?

6:30 am

Aussieme

I know, you see my worry.... was looking for Lynx for advice....

6:30 am

lshult

how serious is that?

6:30 am

EspritdJean

I know that Oz has a lot of experience with treating spider bites, so that is a consolation

6:30 am

Aussieme

White-tailed spiders are vagrant hunters who seek out prey rather than spinning a web to capture it. Their preferred prey is other spiders and they are equipped with venom for hunting.

They are known to bite humans and effects may include local pain, a red mark, local swelling and itchiness; very occasionally nausea, vomiting, malaise or headache may occur. Ulcers and necrosis have been attributed to the bites

6:31 am

Aussieme

thats what google says.

6:31 am

Aussieme

I was just worried is all, but Lynx seems not to be in the house today :(

6:31 am

EspritdJean

well, I think you're right, that is information that puts it in perspective for you

6:31 am

hego

doesn't sound too dire.

6:31 am

EspritdJean

and if she is being treated quickly, that is good too

6:32 am

Aussieme

I just saw spider bite, and my mind went crazy.... Thanks for calming me down some :)

6:32 am

EspritdJean

understandable that you are concerned . . . here's a ((((aussieme)))) hug

6:32 am

Aussieme

Its just hard being the other side of the world from her....

6:33 am

EspritdJean

your babble buddie will send out the prayers and good vibes

6:33 am

EspritdJean

of course

6:33 am

6:33 am

There, there Aussie

6:34 am

Aussieme

Thanks Espirit... Well, I must away now, work beckons I am afraid...... See you all later, when I have 7 whole days off !!

6:34 am

EspritdJean

no expert, but at least from the shows I have seen about this, they know how to treat this and with very high success

6:34 am

Aussieme

Thanks again hego..... **poof**

6:35 am

Michnick

I don't know if we have white tailed spiders, but we have suffered from spider bites from time to time. We live on the edge of the desert and I think that makes us more prone to have them as visitors in the house. They get very red and swollen, they hurt and itch. A good dose of anti-histamine seems to take the edge off.

6:36 am

EspritdJean

I think australia is blessed with the highest number of venomous spiders and snakes in the world

6:36 am

Michnick

Scratching the itch tends to spread the venom so a larger area gets red, hot & itchy. I cannot remember ever having to dose with antibiotics.

6:36 am

Michnick

I guess ours are milder, Esprit.

6:37 am

EspritdJean

you have bigger fish to fry over there ;-\

6:37 am

Michnick

I guess you could say that!

Soodlebum

Help with the SP 5/12, please. the one directly before the warriors weapon?

10:13 am

Haz1558

It's just one consonant different at the end.

10:14 am

Soodlebum

Doh!! Thank you Haz

10:14 am

rumplestiltskin

help on the au8/80 please

10:14 am

Haz1558

No problem, Soodle.

10:15 am

Haz1558

rumple, it's an extension of au4/5. I suggested earlier that it sounds like the sort of half-truths told to you by a car salesman.

10:16 am

welki

hi soodle, rumple

10:17 am

Soodlebum

Hi Welki

10:18 am

Soodlebum

This is probably a fishy fish, but for fireworks the PA 5/12 directly following the PA 8/50, please

10:18 am

welki

je pa*** francais? (i haven't listed yet)

10:18 am

Haz1558

Put a vowel onto the end of pa4/5 at the beginning of the sequence.

10:19 am

You're welcome, welki.

10:20 am

Haz1558

Well done, Soodle.

10:21 am

Atalante

can I tell you all something quite O.O that I discovered today

10:21 am

welki

wtg soodle!

10:21 am

Haz1558

Absolutely.

10:21 am

Atalante

a few years ago, a man who was accused of rape had his case thrown out of case becayse the lady in question was wearing jeans

10:22 am

Atalante

apparently it is impossible for any attacker to take off someone's jeans, jeans can only be removed consensually

10:22 am

Atalante

and that case has been used since then by a good few rape / attack defences!

10:23 am

rururocks

how is it impossible ?

10:23 am

rururocks

I don't understand that logic

10:23 am

Atalante

nor does anyone

10:24 am

hootowl

skin tight jeans are hard to remove - fight and it's impossible

10:24 am

welki

hang on, i have a summary of the case

10:24 am

hootowl

but nowadays - relaxed fit is not something to depend on

10:24 am

Pinikula

Morning all! Interesting concept, Ata...Little D is very cute, ru (icon)...

10:25 am

rururocks

thanks pini

10:25 am

rururocks

I'd laugh..but I would be in big trouble hoot

10:25 am

hootowl

feel free

10:26 am

Pinikula

it's amazing that some pairs of jeans actually stay up (on)!

10:26 am

welki

if this is the one of which you speak, it's from an appeal from sexual assault in italy http://tiny.cc/Wirnm

10:26 am

Atalante

oooo lets see

10:26 am

rururocks

(it's amazing I can keep my pants on)

10:26 am

hootowl

The concept is only valid if skin-tights are worn. A knife would not be pleasant

10:26 am

Pinikula

* going to look *

10:27 am

welki

buffet pants, ruru?

10:27 am

Atalante

one of my lawyer buddies was telling me about it very briefly this morning

10:27 am

hootowl

I wasn't aware of the women wearing saggies?

10:27 am

rururocks

like jimmy buffet?

10:28 am

rururocks

briefed on the brief...briefly?

10:28 am

welki

like sweat pants with the drawstrings untied *lol*

10:28 am

cu6/24 - the one who makes the eating utensils.

10:30 am

Atalante

such a shame it's not true. all women would be safe walking the streets at any time of the day as long as they wore tight jeans

10:31 am

Christine

sorry, mine was that which s/he makes.

10:31 am

Pinikula

not sure I could fit in a pair of "tight" jeans...have you seen some of those "pencil" styles? gads, not sure my toe would fit!!!

10:32 am

Pinikula

thx for both silverware clues ;)

10:32 am

Atalante

lol i know!

10:32 am

rururocks

Tight jeans and a .38

10:33 am

10:33 am

thnx. Still can't get the au/8

10:33 am

rururocks

bye haz

10:33 am

Pinikula

One of my grad students is really tall and weighs about 10lbs...she wears that pencil style and I can figure out how she gets her foot thru the leg!

10:33 am

Atalante

it really is one of those "only in italy" cases ...

10:33 am

Pinikula

ciao haz ;)

10:34 am

Atalante

usually a zip, pini :P

10:34 am

Pinikula

haven't seen one anywhere below the knee, ata...it's scarey!

10:35 am

Atalante

look at the inside ankle, there if anywhere!

10:35 am

rururocks

I was never impressed with that anorexic look (heroin-chick/wasted/bored) model look

10:35 am

Pinikula

that's what I mean...the closest zipper to the hem of her jeans in the zip on her cute little sneakers!

10:35 am

Atalante

at least they officially can't be raped lol

10:36 am

Christine

au8/40 is

10:36 am

Pinikula

Me either, ru...I think it's more nauseating than anything

10:36 am

crosshair

crossy likes his women with curves;)

10:36 am

Pinikula

good point, ata!

10:36 am

Pinikula

curves are good if you have 'em...

10:37 am

Atalante

but I guess any size and shape can have tight jeans

10:37 am

Atalante

just wear your smallest pair :)

10:37 am

Pinikula

oh, not so sure about that ata...I think wearing "skinny" jeans is a privilege not a right (same with spandex)!

10:38 am

rururocks

lol

10:38 am

Christine

sorry,rethought my clue, and didn't clear completely.

10:38 am

rururocks

(at our work out club it is mostly ex-spandex)

10:39 am

Atalante

I said "can" not "should"!

10:39 am

Pinikula

ROFL!

10:40 am

rururocks

brb

10:40 am

Pinikula

I wonder if spandex was really even supposed to be outterwear...seams like it should've remained "under"...

10:41 am

Atalante

is spandex the same as lycra?

10:41 am

rururocks

I wouldn't be caught dead in spandex or lycra

10:41 am

Pinikula

no...I think lycra has a sheen to it...

10:41 am

Pinikula

but it's close...

10:41 am

Atalante

but similar stuff? never worked out was spandex was lol

10:41 am

crosshair

crossy loved the spandex body suits with a scarf or fine chain around the waist they used to wear all the time in the 70,s;))

10:41 am

onyx

cant

10:42 am

aunt

10:42 am

10:42 am

onyx

oops cursor moved and i was not paying attention

10:42 am

Pinikula

it's ok, onyx...too bad I already have those words...next time slip on something I don't have! LOL

10:43 am

onyx

i'll try morning every one cold here

10:43 am

Pinikula

here, too...

10:47 am

Pinikula

I take it back, Ata...Spandex, Lycra or elastane, is a synthetic fiber known for its exceptional elasticity. It is stronger and more durable than rubber, its major non-synthetic competitor.

10:47 am

Atalante

oh, ok!

10:48 am

crosshair

uh oh..just look at the crud ill have to deal with later today;((( http://tinyurl.com/yjxw4zo

10:48 am

Pinikula

I think there are some out there who just try to see just how "exceptionally elastic" it can be! :)

10:49 am

Pinikula

ooooh, in for a cold one, eh, crossy?

10:49 am

onyx

this puzzle is diabolical

10:49 am

crosshair

not going to be pretty pini

10:49 am

Shirlockc

my exboss use to wear tights, not lycra pants, tights, when flying

10:49 am

Shirlockc

10:50 am

Shirlockc

used to drive my male colleague nuts as they'd travel together and everything would stare

10:50 am

Pinikula

tights?

10:50 am

Pinikula

under a skirt or something???

10:51 am

Shirlockc

black tights

10:51 am

10:52 am

Pinikula

morning flosey

10:52 am

Gail

good morning. We have snow in Vermont, finally.

10:52 am

Atalante

we're all advised to wear elasticated stockings

10:53 am

flosey

wow, Calgary and Edmonton have both had lots of snow, none here

10:53 am

Pinikula

now, that makes sense, flosey! There's an actual purpose to those; unlike some of the other attire chosen...

10:53 am

Shirlockc

but not just stockings

10:53 am

onyx

ok you guys i can beat this talk, i had a colleague who was a plus size woman( mabe a double plus ) eho would wear tight mini spandex dresses and skirts, some times the things you could see you did not even want to imagine

10:54 am

rururocks

was she on her way to the Jerry Springer show?

10:54 am

Atalante

did she secretly have 4 legs?

10:54 am

Pinikula

ouch, onyx!!!

10:55 am

Scrabbler

Back again. I decided to open the list and make progress rather than stare at the grid.

10:55 am

onyx

eeew atalante!! i don't even want to speculate what was under there

10:55 am

Shirlockc

exboss was male

10:55 am

Pinikula

morning scrabs ;)

10:55 am

Atalante

that puts a different complexion on things!

10:55 am

onyx

a male in thights?

10:55 am

Shirlockc

and he was not a ballerina

10:56 am

Shirlockc

we all use to laugh hysterically

10:56 am

Pinikula

wait...what'd I miss? the ex-boss who wore the tights was a guy???

10:56 am

Shirlockc

yep

10:56 am

Gail

Was he Robin Hood?

10:57 am

Pinikula

Not sure if that's an image I want to try and imagine!!!!

10:57 am

Pinikula

or Little John?

10:57 am

onyx

takes all kinds

10:57 am

Shirlockc

more than you want to see of any boss

10:57 am

Gail

He must have worried about getting blood clots in strange places.

Ok, 42 for later. Time to shower and get ready for tennis match. Bye kids.

11:07 am

I just let my dog out and he had forgotten about snow. He looked like Bambi on the ice, he couldn't make his feet do what he wanted them to do.

11:08 am

we are training your year old male cat to a harness;)

11:08 am

crosshair

our

11:08 am

onyx

cat on a leash?

11:08 am

crosshair

indeed

11:09 am

Pinikula

why not?

11:09 am

crosshair

he now walks on a harness and lease halfway around the building

11:09 am

onyx

dogs

11:09 am

Pinikula

I rather wish cats fell under the leash law...I really don't like finding cats in my yard, on my roof, etc...

11:10 am

crosshair

we have a fella in town with a ferret and he walks the ferret on a leash and harness

11:10 am

Pinikula

...don't forget the CAR!!!

11:10 am

onyx

but i love how they keep the vermin out of my garden( mice and rats)

11:11 am

crosshair

our town shelter has over 450 stray and unwanted cats,so we either keep ours indoors or harness and leash them

11:12 am

Gail

We have a neighboorhood cat, who has no owner, but is cared for by the people in the houses he visits. He is always ready for a chat or a snuggle and is very well fed and loved.

11:12 am

crosshair

but he adds to the problem by probably siring hundreds of kittens over the course of a few years;((

11:12 am

Pinikula

a sad state of affairs when you're encouraged to spay/neuter your dog/cat; then dogs must be leashed and cats are free to roam... :(

11:13 am

onyx

strange i would say

11:13 am

crosshair

our are not now pini,we have to have tags and rabies shots and a full leash law for bith,the cat problem has gotten too far out of hand here

11:13 am

Pinikula

rather seems like cats will "take over" someday...

11:14 am

Gail

No, he is neutered and people get him his shots. Somebody left him when they moved. He won't live in any one home, just moves around. He is well cared for, not an actual stray.

11:14 am

Shirlockc

i tried a leash on my cat once, she went crazy

11:14 am

Christine

We used to live above a theatre, and our cat would visit there on his nightly walk -- sit on the stage, in an armchair, if there was one.

11:14 am

onyx

cats don't maul people and generally stick to themselves, don't roam in packs

11:14 am

Pinikula

That's good to hear, crossy...

11:14 am

Pinikula

...sorry, gail...I was just commenting in general ;)

11:14 am

crosshair

2 ofm my 3 cats are rescued from the shelter

11:15 am

Gail

Oh, I know, I don't like stray cats as a rule, but I checked up on this one when I heard he was homeless. I usually take them to the shelter if they are strays. No offense taken.

11:16 am

crosshair

glad he is fixed gail

11:16 am

Pinikula

I suppose I'm probably more interested in "outdoor" cats who actually have owners...

11:17 am

rururocks

I don't believe in "outdoor" cats myself

11:17 am

Gail

We have a group on our town who pick up strays, have them neutered and then return them to their original location if there is no room at the shelter. At least they have shots and can't breed.

11:17 am

Atalante

depends where they are

11:18 am

crosshair

what bugs me is owners who wont get thier cats fixed its like"oh how cute!! her 4th litter!" and 90% end up in the shelter

11:18 am

rururocks

ugh crossy I agree

11:18 am

Shirlockc

is how i got my cat -- oh we just found her pregnant on our porch

11:18 am

Pinikula

UGH

11:19 am

Gail

We rescued a cat once who had been declawed, but not spayed, and then was let outside to roam. How stupid can you get?

11:20 am

Shirlockc

au8? didn't get the earlier clue

11:20 am

crosshair

about 150 cats get put down here just to maintain a maximum capacity of 450 cats.we are building a new shelther for 5 million dollars with a in house vet..but funding is pending for the last 25% of construction;/

11:21 am

I was just taking a look at our local animal shelter's website to see if there was a 'statistics' page...but there isn't.

11:27 am

crosshair

like you see 'the stats" are too depressing

11:27 am

I'm not sure if it's depressing or a general eye opener...

What time is it in Australia, Lynxx ... up awfully late aren't you?

2:07 pm

Merk

Or is it, up early?

2:07 pm

lynxxx

Just got up Merk - a few minutes after 7 am

2:09 pm

Team_Edward

hehe found it yay me!!! lmao thx for the clues

2:09 pm

Merk

Oh, I get up that early, too. I don't know why I thought it's be 4 a.m. or something. Back off daylight savings time here.

2:09 pm

Merk

And are you on it?

2:10 pm

lynxxx

Yes, we are on it from October to April

2:11 pm

Merk

That accounts for the difference. It's 4:11 a.m. in China, which is what I keep track of, but they have a weird one time zone rule. That makes it fairly unlikely that they'd match Australia's.

2:13 pm

lynxxx

Are you still going to China as much?

2:16 pm

Merk

Yes, twice a year. I'm leaving for there again on Dec. 28 ... thru Feb. 8.

Kaplan the Magne

has anyone ever saved an mp3 player?

2:59 pm

lil*monkey

yay, pass completed!

2:59 pm

dcseain

kaplan, let it dry thoroughly and it should work again

2:59 pm

dcseain

dry manually best you can

3:00 pm

jmcnrick

let it dry slowly and it will be fine

3:00 pm

lil*monkey

kap, how about trying the blow dryer on it?

3:00 pm

dcseain

opening case, if possible, is good

3:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'm drying it with a hairdryer set on cool

3:00 pm

rururocks

I didn't know Mp3 players were christian?

3:00 pm

jmcnrick

on cool is okay

3:00 pm

Kaplan the Magne

someone told me to put it in rice!

3:00 pm

rururocks

Order some extra sauce if you do that kaplan

3:01 pm

dcseain

rice helps absorb the moisture

3:01 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Christian?

3:01 pm

lynxxx

I've heard that, the rice absorbs

3:01 pm

jmcnrick

rice is a great dehydrator -- use it in salt in the south all the time

3:01 pm

lil*monkey

that might work, kap, in a sealed container like a tupperware. RAW rice, not cooked rice, will absorb moisture

3:01 pm

LeslieAnn

ruru you are so helpful

3:01 pm

rururocks

(Beams)

3:01 pm

lil*monkey

3:03 pm

rbud

just don't try to turn them on until you're pretty sure they're dry, or something might short out

3:03 pm

rururocks

(I can't believe that the redskins are scoring that many points)

3:03 pm

lil*monkey

good point, rosebud

3:03 pm

LeslieAnn

stidmama

later scrabs. have a lovely evening!

6:09 pm

redturtlehead

hi sue.

6:09 pm

stidmama

I think, with Tom for a partner, perhaps seain knows too much about being a nurse?

6:11 pm

stidmama

one would have thought that I, with a parent as a teacher would have been warned off going into teaching, though, so perhaps knowledge doesn't always equal wisdom.

6:11 pm

dcseain

not dirty, but flesh wounds squick me big-time

6:12 pm

dcseain

i want to be a teacher. :)

6:12 pm

stidmama

you would be a GREAT teacher, seain! *nods encouragingly* any way for you to get certification without spending three years in school?

6:12 pm

Team_Edward

ul5,12?

6:12 pm

jesdraggon

my grandmother advised me to get a job at a bar, and wear short skirt and tall heels. not sure if that's terribly helpful to you, though :)

6:13 pm

jesdraggon

latin plural of the ul4, ed

6:13 pm

dcseain

6:13 pm

stidmama

thanks for that, jes

6:13 pm

stidmama

emergency certification, seain?

6:14 pm

dcseain

no such thing in VA

6:14 pm

dcseain

schools in VA pay well, so no trouble attracting teachers

6:14 pm

stidmama

there were provisions a few years ago back there that if you had a bachelor's in a subject area you could teach while seeking certification...

6:14 pm

dcseain

yay VDOT plowing and sanding again! Wooo!

6:14 pm

jesdraggon

i just thought it was interesting that it was my grandmother who advised that... ;)

6:15 pm

dcseain

hm. will have to look into that. DC is more flexible, i know.

6:15 pm

stidmama

you must live in the city, seain... they almost NEVER plow or sand our little rural spur

6:15 pm

dcseain

after the end of the barry administration, roads in DC were fine

I am in disbelief that cu4/6 is accepted as a word !! Disgusting.

6:40 pm

dcseain

it takes many other perfectly valid, if offensive, words

6:41 pm

inge

I agree, Aussie

6:41 pm

rururocks

that one is particularly offensive

6:42 pm

Aussieme

I am really disgusted. I hate that word, I really do. They can say any other swear word at work, but that particular one is frowned on the most..... yuck !!!!!

6:42 pm

DR1965

I just choose not to enter it

6:43 pm

inge

and leave the word list incomplete??

6:43 pm

Aussieme

I entered it by mistake, I meant to hit the l key, but my finger caught the n key by accident, and then I hit enter....

6:43 pm

Yes Inge- I am not worried about my rankings

In sophomore English class we were reading Shakespeare, and I innociently asked : what does pregnant mean?

6:51 pm

LuvWordGames

my cousin got me in trouble when he taught me a swear word and I didn't know it was one. My mom almost had a heart attack when I observed that the Smuckers jelly rhymed with a certain word

6:52 pm

inge

I think it related to full of joy or happiness

6:52 pm

dcseain

ah, okay. i can see why classmates would laugh, though. Your innocent question much much more mature than your classmates' reaction, IMHO

6:54 pm

inge

the teacher told me to ask for word definitions, since most of the class did not know them either, She met me after class and explained

6:54 pm

dcseain

sounds well-handled in the teacher's part

6:55 pm

dcseain

it's the ry4 of millstones, not of an orange

6:56 pm

inge

she was of the old school teacher type. Smart women ended up in teh classroom then adn did a great job. Now girls becoem lawyers and doctors, and the teachers are mediocre'\

6:59 pm

dcseain

hm. very insightful observation there, inge. I'm certain that's generaly, if not universally, true.

6:59 pm

rururocks

I regard teachers and doctors highly at the same level

6:59 pm

inge

teachers are not as well respectd in the US as elsewhere

7:00 pm

welki

7:00 pm

dcseain

sadly, it is so, Inge :/

7:00 pm

rururocks

welki.. check out the new pic

7:00 pm

welki

i hardly know you, ru, but i would surmise that he takes after his dad :)

7:01 pm

rururocks

7:01 pm

inge

I think musicians , like symphony players, are more respected elsewhere also

7:01 pm

dcseain

very true that,too Inge

7:02 pm

welki

agreed, inge .. i have a daughter who was a music teacher (talk about a double whammy) .. she got no respect from either musicians or other teachers, although she plays at performance level

7:02 pm

inge

ruru, I look at your puppy every day. Has he grown any?

7:03 pm

rururocks

he has gained 8 oz so far.. that is really great.

7:03 pm

welki

more hurry up and wait, eh ru? another 6 weeks or so before he comes home

7:04 pm
