last time I saw you, jill, stidkid #1 had been completely boneheaded-stupid about an internet thing, risking his gmail account AND potentially setting himself up for identity theft. Got it sorted about 2 am our time...

sprite, I've found the co8 and co9 using morewords. It's a very unusual structure at the end, building on a co4/5.
2:28 am

hi Haz, good morning. Thanks, to a2z for me then, if you call it very unusual I don't think I will be able to find it without extra help.
2:29 am

Good morning/evening all. No problem, sprite.

2:31 am

ruru, the ends sound like the coloured leaves of flowers.
2:31 am
sprite

but very very alternate spelling
2:32 am
Haz1558

Do you want a clue, ruru? Follow the pine fruit with start of Ireland's saint, wrap up with an unexpected consonant.
2:32 am
Haz1558

And then plural.
2:32 am
sprite

I cheated. I opened a2z on co and looked for an 8 letter word that Haz would call very unusual.
2:33 am
Haz1558

No dictionary definition givem for it either, or at least not dictionary.com.
2:34 am

I don't think you were around at the time, jillibus. It caused fierce divisions of opinion. To my horror, split pea soup lovers won. Ruru was the official in charge of counting.

i have never actually had pea soup without the ham bone so maybe my vote was invalid [ i thought i was voting for pea and ham soup]
3:04 am
rururocks

uh.. andree..all split pea soup (if properly made) is made with ham bones.. your vote stays
3:04 am
Haz1558

Andree raises a good point. Maybe the vote should be rerun on the basis of split pea alone, no extras allowed.

All those poor piggies sacrificed for the sake of split pea lovers. Is there not a veggie version?

haz doesn't partake of the split pea liquid nourishment
3:20 am
Atalante

tofu bone?
3:20 am
Haz1558

Haz stands on the sidelines and makes faces at the thought of the stuff.
3:20 am
Haz1558

Would vegetable stock and half a canister of salt not do the trick?
3:20 am
rururocks

piggies were sacrificed because they were boared anyway
3:20 am

You can't just throw all those ham bo**s away Haz, did not your Mother teach you thrift?

grow a crop of oats , harvest them and then thrash them on a rock and crush them -Bingo! porridge
3:29 am
Haz1558

Of course, if you were a Sc4, you'd have drawer porridge made for emergency situations like that.

Dear me. The two reasons I ever watched it was 1. Terry Wogan's commentary and 2. The voting and the attempts by the hosts to be hip and trendy while panicking madly.

no actually, it was about Britain winning stuff "This proposal from the British delegation was typical of our faux-humble demeanour at this stage in the proceedings: it's easy to be magnanimous when you're clearly winning, especially in a contest in which you are feigning absolute indifference"

What happened??? Well I was standing on the tram and this dumbnuts ran a red light hit the tram at the front and drove off. I fell over and bruised my left lower leg and shoulder.
10:15 am
herinfernallady

Police issued a warning for the vehicle as it was badly damaged and the paramedics said it was just a nasty bruise. I was not missing out on tonight. Nor was I going to hospital nor was anyone going to cut my tights of (I have had them for 10 years)
10:16 am

Dang! I hope they catch the driver and hang them by their thumbs and put them away for a long time (and make them pay for all of the restitution too)
10:17 am

I just hope they are found and they get in trouble for failing to stop at an accident. At least I am youngish and fairly bouncing (Added padding) and it wasn't someone elderly or pregnant that fell over or the tram was packed

11:43 am

It is a beaver, castor, in honor of Quebec. I know it is unusual, but it is the right number of pixels and doesn't slow the chat down which one of my icons did and that made everyone unhappy.

Possibly amies.
11:52 am
Uniquity

Perfect!
11:53 am
stidgmere

I'm just being silly. It is raining here as usual and the only way we know it is spring is that the leaves are turning green instead of reds and yellows and dropping off.
11:53 am

We had to go to Canada to get warm.
11:54 am

Oh my. We had a 30 degree weekend but this week has been off and on rainy and blah.

Okay, the ma9 builds off the four before it, add a rock or s5 to complete.
11:57 am

It snowed here overnight. I knew we had to have March sometime!
11:58 am
Uniquity

Are you in Alberta, helens? CBC radio said there was snow there. I snickered quietly. :)
11:58 am
helensgirlkid

Definitely amies! I had to answer the phone - an arrogant fellow who wanted to give me a cellphone.
11:58 am
helensgirlkid

Of course!
11:59 am

Help - I think I just typed something inhere - probably wrong, but still.
12:00 pm

Uniquity

You're good, Helens!
12:01 pm
helensgirlkid

The computer is being very odd to day, though. Quirky doesn't cover it.
12:03 pm
Uniquity

You should threaten to send it to its room without any dinner!
12:04 pm
helensgirlkid

That doesn't even work with the cats!
12:04 pm
Uniquity

Oh cats. The cat in the house we are staying at broke open my kitties treats and ate them all. Big glutton!
12:06 pm
stidgmere

Ty uniquity got the sedimentary stone that is found in parts of Alberta, CA.
12:06 pm
helensgirlkid

This cell phone fellow - when I had informed him I didn't want the cell phone and couldn't afford its service package anyway, I hung up. He phoned back and whined "why did you hang up on me?"! I asked for his supervisor, and all triumphant, he says "i am the supervisor", so I threatened to write to Bell Canada. He said (I'm quoting) "Lady Bell OWNS Canada"!
12:07 pm
Uniquity

Bell does not own Canada! Also, that is incredibly rude and sounds more like a scam then a Bell representative.. Hanging up was a good call, Helens!
12:07 pm
stidgmere

Bell is ubiquitous in Canada. Bell Centre in Montreal is like a huge pilgrimage site.
12:08 pm
helensgirlkid


At least when I hung up the third time, he stayed hung up on. I think maybe I will write Bell and maybe CRTC as well. ALas, more energy-demanding effort, all to not have a cell phone!
12:09 pm
Uniquity

I was always under the impression that Rogers was a strong competitor for bell in central and western Canada. In NS, Rogers stinks though.
12:11 pm
helensgirlkid

I would be very cautious about Rogers. They are strong here, but we had avoided them until suddenly we started getting phone bills from them - they had bought out Sprint. We switched back to Telus. Telus is still very big in the west, adn actually offers fairly sane cell phone plans - my son is on Fido, and it's pretty good.
12:12 pm

Have you seen the new TV ads for WIND? A hotdog seller, very swarthy, with a strong accent, is trying to charge more for the bun, the mustard, the napkin, plus a convenience charge - I had been impressed by their print ads, and had put them with fido and Koodo on the list of companies I would consider if I ever did get a cell phone, but this was quite racist. I wrote to them, but either they are baffled, or they only answer mail they like.
12:15 pm

We have ads (I don't remember what they are selling) that have the same line: Do you want to buy everything the same way you buy an automobile? Bargain down every point?
12:15 pm

I believe I have seen those ads. I try to ignore commercials, but it seems familiar.

I had ad first associated the ad with those featuring a man in a suit (looks a lot like Stephen Harper) cheating children in a variety of way - which impinge on my mind just enough to set off disgust - but I got the full force of this one one evening for some reason, and wow, was I unimpressed!

wind used to sound good to me as well helen with that nice unlimited north america package,BUT i found out that you can only get that rate if you are in one of WIND,S transmission tower "hot spots" and if you are not the pricing is vastly different
12:18 pm

Yes. And what about the ads for VW that has people hitting each other on the arm? Where is this coming from?

My first new car was a VW van - 64. The year they redesigned the clutch, and it had to be replaced every six months! The first replacement was on warranty, of course, but fortunately we managed to sell it (to someone who knew all about it, from Purdue) just before the warranty ran out.

yes it is - so where is the prized bathing suit red - hmmm?
7:22 pm

good for you mom, i have stopped too many times to count, this time i haven't had a cigarette since new years day, i had to resort to drugs so no cravings just missing the habit
7:23 pm
redturtlehead

I swam in it today, it still raises eyebrows.
7:23 pm
Riverdance

wow - good for you andree - I am taking the drugs too - but I must have gotten the placebo but it is not helping with the cravings at all
7:23 pm
Andree

champix?
7:24 pm
Riverdance

Im not refilling for the next month - not worth the money -- the US version Chantix
7:24 pm
redturtlehead

Magic game tongiht, so I need to support, especially after the Boston sportswriter recommends knocking out our centers teeth!
7:24 pm

Its $150 Us a month and not cutting the craving at all so I am on my own after another two weeks
7:25 pm

7:26 pm
Mary

Hi all, just being nosy, and good for you to quit smoking, just hang in there. Me, after over 50 yrs quit about 7 years ago, with patches and drugs but did it. Worse thing I've ever done but well worth it but still miss it.
7:26 pm
redturtlehead

I just dont think advocating physical violence is a good idea.
7:26 pm
redturtlehead

COngratulations Mary!!!!!!!
7:27 pm
Riverdance

so after 5 weeks of not smoking, today was a dress down day at work - went to put my jeans on and they didnt even get close to closing - hmmm - how depressing is that - so going to join something real soon
7:27 pm
pk

agree red. that's taking it too far. the players are people, and i think sometimes that is forgotten.
7:28 pm
pk

it's different for everyone mom, but i have several friends who had success with hypnosis
7:28 pm
Mary

If ever, and I hope not, something dreadful happens, going to start up again, one in each hand. Mom, don't worry about the weight, but you just have to exercise regularly, walking is best, but daily and at least 30 minutes
7:29 pm
Riverdance

Yes Mary, I understand all too well - I smoked for 38 years - and it is by far the hardest thing I have ever done to stop.
7:29 pm
Riverdance

I have thought the same Mary - just went for mammo and physical - all was well - but if they found anything - thats it - I am going out happy
7:30 pm
Mary

we think alike.
7:30 pm
Andree

mom here the 1st 3 months of champix is government funded, so only cost about $50 for the scripts, now I am on my own and paid $220 for present script , then i am on my own, i have ofcourse saved a lot more than that by not buying cigarettes
7:30 pm
Riverdance

I tried hypnosis years ago and it didnt work - I dont think they were able to get me under
7:31 pm
Mary

tried the hypnosis and also acupuncture and neither worked.
7:31 pm
Riverdance

its $150 a month for me - insurance does not pay for it. I am going to finish out the 60 days I paid for and stop. I really dont feel it is doing anything for me.
7:32 pm
redturtlehead

Shame on that insurance Mom needs, really they should cover it...you will be much healthier after you quit.
7:33 pm
Riverdance

I really think when you are ready to quit in your own mind, you will do it no matter what. My husband has not quit and I am angry about that - has made it hard on me. He reminds me it is a individual decision. Well so be it - I am quitting for me and quess what I did it - strong woman - weak man!!!!
7:33 pm
redturtlehead

My New hospital has all these employee programs, givign you a bunch of quit smoking stuff and also 6 months at the gym free to try to get peoples weights and cholesterols down. It is good...
7:33 pm
jmcnrick

that is outrageous mom! my insurance would cover it
7:33 pm

what a shame it hasn't worked for you , i find the champix fantastic, no craving at all, now i am only taking 1 a day so i can stretch it out

7:34 pm
Riverdance

Hey JMC - my company is self - insured but use Cigna as their administrator. Most employees think it is Cigna - I know better being in HO. Small company cant afford the high premiums so they dont cover much but charge lots - hmmm - I understand but dont agree
7:34 pm
jmcnrick

hard to argue against that point pk
7:34 pm
Andree

my insurance wont cover it , but i will be able to claim it on my tax return

10:03 pm

true, Min. this is my last summer to NOT worry about a job -- as soon as I finish this program, I will have to find employment fast to pay off all the loans. BUT... in the meantime I will use this summer to get the house and yard in better order.

Is he doing well???
10:13 pm

we are on day four of potty training and doing very well, over all. yesterday was kinda bad, and exceptionally awful at the end of the day, but we got back on track today
10:13 pm
Pinikula

great, TNC! good to hear!
10:13 pm
stidmama

yes, I am pretty upset... with him, with his teacher, with his school for not picking up on the fact that he is doing so very poorly relative to the grades he got before this year. Now that I know more about the laws that compel schools to investigate... *angry mama bear look*
10:13 pm

Stid - things are good. Finally getting stuff unpacked from our move last year. Work has settled down with the closing of the 2010 olympic and paralympic games. Fiscal year end closed with minimal problems.

10:14 pm

I truly think it is all about control right now. Plus, with him losing control in this area, it is coming out in other areas, so we are all a bit haggard right now, but today was a better day.

10:16 pm

I can give her your email.
10:16 pm
TeaNCrackers

I hope so, pini - we were all at wits' end yesterday and we clearly over reacted. But, he got so mad at us that he purposely peed on his dad. Then, when he was on time out for that started crying that he had to do no. 2 and promptly did, in the potty.
10:16 pm
TeaNCrackers

that would be great, stiddy!

he has always told us that he couldn't tell if he had to go no. 2, so now, we know better and today was accident free, for both.
10:17 pm
Pinikula

well, kinda sorry to hear about dad, TNC (but maybe he's on board now?); and glad he was able to poop on the pot...see...it's working...he's "aware"

10:34 pm
Pinikula

oh, sorry, harp...
10:34 pm
harpjane

anyway i got it, but isn't it more of a kidney word?
10:34 pm

10:36 pm
harpjane

(you chickens.....)
10:36 pm
Pinikula

I think I'm the only chicken here, but still curious, nonetheless!
10:36 pm
Pinikula

* waits patiently for explanation *
10:37 pm
harpjane

I SCREAMED in a restaurant tonight. We were having a nice quiet dinner when we started talking about someone we know who got bit in the butt by a r6snake. Then the phone in my rear pocket started to vibrate......
10:37 pm
harpjane

WHOOO HOOO WHAT A RIDE!
10:37 pm
Pinikula

OMG! TOOO FUNNY!!!!!!

10:38 pm

10:39 pm
hurshy

it is funny talking to my sister
10:39 pm
Pinikula

10:39 pm
hurshy

the middle one i mean - i'm the oldest, i have two younger sisters.
10:39 pm
harpjane

why is taht hursh?
10:39 pm
harpjane

that
10:40 pm
hurshy

she's this total optimist/extrovert happy positive person (NOT a fake "i'm a positive person" person)
10:40 pm
harpjane

I HATE people like that.....
10:41 pm
hurshy

i try to get her to be able to imagine what it is like to be a depressive anxious shy pessimist, and she tries to get me to imagine i can be more like her
10:41 pm
hurshy

which i wish i could!
10:42 pm
hurshy

oh harp, you would love my sister - everyone does - you can't help loving her - she is great, not annoying. she can't help being happy any more than i can help not being happy.
10:42 pm
Pinikula

I wouldn't wish my now disowned sisters on anyone except themselves.
10:42 pm
harpjane

I know, but I STILL hate (sort of) people like that.....
10:42 pm
hurshy

these cute children are hers :)
10:44 pm
hurshy

she said tonight that she can see why second children can turn out optimists like her. hannah's whole world, she said, is watching someone full of energy do lots of things that look really amazing to her. so life seems full of possibilities, exciting and hopeful.
10:46 pm
Pinikula
