I missed them because i didn't look up
3:53 am
herinfernallady

I did find 230 odd words out of mybrain
3:53 am
sprite

wow lady, good job!
3:53 am
herinfernallady

I am trying to find more and moe to build up my vocab
3:54 am
sprite

*hugs the lady* Even in your spare time you are still learning!
3:54 am
herinfernallady

Sprite. I love word games. We had to do a basic there, they're their thing at school last week I did it then sat there waiting for ages
3:55 am
sprite

lol you are way too good for that level
3:56 am
herinfernallady

The teacher did it due to the high grammatical errors on our papers. I am thinking spell check is not that hard. BUt then again the school system is about 2 or 3 years behind what we learnt
3:57 am
sprite

still some people would benefit from using spell check, even if it is 2 or 3 years out of date.
3:57 am
herinfernallady

No not spell check being out of date. For example what I learned in grade 6 the school was recently teaching year 9 students
3:58 am
sprite

ouch! That is bad.
3:59 am
herinfernallady

It is and it is sad. One of the girls asked what a herb was (that was similar to Time)
3:59 am
sprite

omg! *baffled*
4:01 am
herinfernallady

YEar nine have English Grammar and learning stuff we learnt in year 6
4:03 am

4:03 am
sprite

it seems here in holland things are going back to what I would call normal. There has been a period where people who graduated still could not spell. But my children have gotten all the rules in elementary school, thank god.
4:09 am
herinfernallady

my parents taught me
4:10 am
sprite

I learned on elementary school, then had to do it all over again at high school because most of my classmates had not learned on their el school.
4:11 am
herinfernallady

sigh
4:11 am
sprite

my father and grandfather were teaching Dutch at schools, so I already knew most of it... still know and it helps so much when learning other languages
4:15 am
herinfernallady

I didn't learn much at school
4:17 am
herinfernallady

O my friends dog dislocated her tail. poor baby
4:18 am
sprite

awwww how did she manage that? Must be so painful :(
4:18 am
herinfernallady

No idea. The vet missed it the first time, probably due to her not wanting a faceful of sore dog
4:21 am
sprite

poor baby
4:21 am
herinfernallady

She is a very sweet dog.
4:21 am
herinfernallady

As my friend always say.Just when yuo thought it was safe to put away your wallet
4:22 am
sprite

4:22 am
herinfernallady

Might we add that said wallet has been ''decorated'' by one of her other dogs
4:23 am
sprite

hahahaha. We sent Caya a postcard from us all, and we let Te5 bite the corner. She loved it.

4:28 am
herinfernallady

Well one of my friends is working 4 days straight. We had to go to her place and get some papers for her. She has 2 wild wombats on her property. They are so cute and sooooo fat
4:29 am
sprite

awww
4:29 am
herinfernallady

That was a 3hour round trip at 1130pm last night
4:29 am
herinfernallady

I dropped off food for her g.f and food for her at her work on Thursday since she was stuck on a 4 day shift.
4:31 am
herinfernallady

Then one of the horses in the paddock gave me a heart attack by coming over and saying HI when we were leaving and I had to open the front gate.
4:31 am
sprite

I would call that being a great friend, not being domesticated, lol.
4:32 am
sprite

ohhh I found the 9! And it is a re4 word. This is such a fun grid.
4:33 am
herinfernallady

Thanks so the 9 is an Re word?
4:34 am

WTF how does this game work? I keep typing in words i see on this puzzle board but they aren't in the puzzle? makes no sense.
5:19 am
sandyloo

hi guys, jawa, the aim is to find all the words in the puzzle, in this there are 327
5:19 am
Haz1558

Have you consulted 'Help' above the chat log? It explains how the game is played.
5:20 am
Norma

Hi sandy n Haz
5:20 am
sandyloo

hi norma and haz
5:20 am
Jawajedi

Lol apparently there are words that should be in the puzzle but arent. fucking retarded.
5:20 am
sandyloo

and herin if you are there
5:20 am
Haz1558

Words have to be four letters or more, they have to touch, you can go in any direction including diagonally, letters can only be used in a a word once.
5:21 am
sandyloo

the letters have to be adjoining
5:21 am
Haz1558

Enough of the language, Jaw.
5:21 am
Haz1558

Not acceptable in this log, perhaps you should find another word game that gives you more of a challenge.
5:23 am
sandyloo

have you had a nice weekend haz?
5:23 am
Haz1558

Fine so far, sandy - just waiting for my sister to arrive and trying to get a few more words.
5:24 am
sandyloo

we have had friends here for lunch today so I am exhausted, would have liked a smaller grid today tho , but c'est la vie
5:25 am

At least it seems to be fairly civilised.

and everybody
7:00 am
rubyfoo

back for a few minutes then back on my bike!
7:00 am
sandyloo

yes I am
7:00 am
sandyloo

I can hardly wait for the pyranees (cant spell it
7:00 am
sandyloo

the last couple of stages have not been very exciting
7:01 am
rubyfoo

yay! did you see Mark Rencshaw's bad behavior?
7:01 am
rubyfoo

they've started but are not there yet. About half way to the big mountain of the day, an HC, then a steep descent and then a steep climb to a 1.
7:01 am
sandyloo

LOL I did, but he said the other guy was pushing him against the rail and he had no choice- i think he should have had a warning and a fine , not ousted
7:02 am
rubyfoo

I was happy to see Vino win the stage yesterday since Contador (BAD GUY) should have let him take the previous stage but didn't
7:03 am
sandyloo

ruby, I dont like vino but why are you so against Contador, I dont know much about him
7:03 am
rubyfoo

that's what the announcer thought, too. He said nobody was hurt and they do things that are a lot worse in the peleton like throwing water bottles at 60 MPH!
7:04 am
sandyloo

well I did see Cadel actually throwing punches in the Giro d'Italia
7:04 am
rubyfoo

I find him an arrogant jerk and he refuses to speak any French when almost all of the other riders at least try, even Vino. And with Vino, he was Lance's "enemy" but he served his 2 yrs suspension, has learned French and eaten enough humble pie to appear to be a nice guy.
7:04 am
sandyloo

I love all this stuff
7:04 am
rubyfoo

no kidding! I've never watched the Giro
7:05 am
rubyfoo

me, too, I'm having a wonderful time.
7:05 am
rubyfoo

and it's in the only air-conditioned room in the house although today it's a little cooler, so I can watch in the living room
7:05 am
rubyfoo

this is really my favorite thing
7:06 am
sandyloo

I think we should forgive him I guess, he is a good rider but often I think he rides for himself
7:06 am
rubyfoo

I wonder about Andy Schleck as he looks sort of slack-jawed and dumb. I hope he winds but I think Contador is stronger.
7:07 am
rubyfoo

First choice, for me, would be if Vino beats Contador! And that Lance should win one stage in the Pyrenees!!!!
7:07 am
rubyfoo

wins*
7:07 am
rubyfoo

I love Lance!
7:08 am
rubyfoo

Do you realize that you are my only friend who is the least bit interested in all this?
7:08 am
rubyfoo

*finally reached half*
7:09 am
sandyloo

It would be amusing if Vino won, that would make Contador really mad
7:09 am
sandyloo

I have no other either Ruby! My sister tries to take an interest but she knows nothing
7:09 am
rubyfoo

yes, very funny. Last year, when Lance was on Astana, I think there was a lot of bad blood between him and Contador and, of course, Vino was still banned
7:10 am
sandyloo

I hate it when they reach half because then it is the countdown to the end
7:10 am
rubyfoo

Did you notice how many ex-Astana guys are on Lance's team?
7:10 am
rubyfoo

me too
7:10 am
sandyloo

I am going to google and see if I can find something out , I love googling about the tour
7:11 am
sandyloo

I love the Tour- I would love to be in France and have some Tour Parties
7:11 am
rubyfoo

I haven't done that. Did you see my viper drama in the chog? I thought I had two vipers in my studio but they turned out to be legless lizards, "slow worms" and harmless. Not cute, but definitely not venomous and DH found them on Google, so we're sure.
7:11 am
sandyloo

get everyone to dress as their favourite tour rider LOL
7:12 am
rubyfoo

nobody seems interested around here, even last year when it came around "our" lake and through the village more than 100 times!
7:12 am
sandyloo

I did catch that, we have a lot of poisonous snakes here so I sympathise with you
7:13 am
rubyfoo

I really like reptiles, but not poisonous ones. And I was worried for the dogs because viper bites are lethal for animals
7:14 am
rubyfoo

I don't think I'd look very good in bicycle shorts and a jersey! Helmet would be good, though
7:14 am
sandyloo

I have had friends whose horses have been killed by snakes and my brothers dog got killed by one
7:15 am
rubyfoo

what kind of snakes?
7:15 am
sandyloo

I made that pavlova today as we had guests
7:15 am
sandyloo

around here we mainly get dugites and tiger snakes
7:16 am

not a lot FM, nightmares over student teaching coming up in about 5 weeks and vague nonspecific concerns of all kinds related to parenting. *sigh*
11:51 am
Minveryork

I know what you mean periwinkle. People who had to lose their house was because their dog needed many surgeries to remove cancer or something. Surgeries and the medication is what did them in. I would be so devastated if my dog died because I could not afford to take care of it. What some people will do for their pets. I think in this case dog ended up dying anyway.
11:51 am

red, have you watched "Boston Med"? Lots of ER action and also it's partly at the hospital where River's son had his surgery, Children's Hospital
12:31 pm
stidmama

gee whiz, red.
12:31 pm
Nancy Boy

I hear that, Red. Not that my job is anywhere near as stressful as I imagine yours to be, but sometimes at work I think I might be sleepwalking. It gets to two, three in the morning and I switch to autopilot mode!
12:32 pm
redturtlehead

I gottta admit Bichon, I never watch those shows. My old ED was on "Trauma Life in the ER" so I usually try to watch soomething less liek my job!
12:32 pm
redturtlehead

Yes, I sometimes think this particular charge nurse tends to dump stuff on me....
12:33 pm
stidmama

medical shows make me nervous... except house. that one is just funny (peculiar and ha-ha)
12:33 pm
bichon

For the most part I stopped wathing medical shows around the time of Dr. Kildere [the remake] and Ben Casey.
12:34 pm

I used to watch the old ER< but that was sort of like a night time soap opera!...

12:38 pm
rururocks

hadn't thought of that..
12:38 pm
Jellen

Ruru's right...Tim would want females in the PB with certain, er, outstanding features...
12:38 pm
redturtlehead

Well, perhaps we can get a few ladies for you...
12:38 pm
Nancy Boy

I think that's fair enough, Ruru. The amount of times "leis" is featured in the grid, we should have the capacity for some flower garlands and coconut bras.
12:38 pm
Sally-catlover

I don't think it's "ladies" he wants...
12:39 pm
rururocks

<wants plumeria pasties
12:39 pm
Jellen

lol, Sally
12:39 pm
Sally-catlover

I think a coconut bra would be uncomfortable myself.
12:39 pm
stidmama

coconut bras would be VERY uncomfortable for anyone bigger than a training bra...
12:40 pm
rururocks

hard to palm too
12:40 pm

snap sally!
12:40 pm

pasties with tassels?

12:41 pm

Indeed. (Hello, to all!). Or, we could go all Dorothy Lamour and wear sarongs.

sarongs seem better than coconuts -- and fit the cabana theme...
12:45 pm
Jellen

Jilli's cabana boy was not wearing a sarong...
12:45 pm
Judi

A sarong is not lingerie. It's more of a mini dress.
12:45 pm
rururocks

you don't have to wear sarongs if you have a cute butt
12:46 pm
rururocks

I have 236 words and still have open tiles
12:46 pm
stidmama

then I probably need two or 3 sarongs, ruru! LOL
12:46 pm

I have 241 and NBT. can I help you fill in the gaps ruru?
12:47 pm
Sally-catlover

I HAD A BIG DRAMA (AS USUAL, BLUSHING) Thursday 'til yesterday. I thought there were two vipers in my studio but they turned out to be Anguis Fragillis, "slow worms" or legless lizards. They are not venomous.

1:03 pm

oh! that's good that they are not venomous! are they cute?
1:03 pm

Oh ruby!! Saw the mention of lizards and wondered what it meant. rofl!!
1:03 pm

Dragon is the first, I believe, ruru
1:04 pm

one was half dead already, but we killed the other one when we still thought it was a viper. Just because of the dogs.
1:04 pm
Sally-catlover

Often find slow worms in compost bins, heaps.
1:04 pm
rubyfoo

We have tons of other lizards, but these were very big, like 18"
1:04 pm

Ooooh ruby! Very sad.
1:05 pm

the politically correct thing to say would be speed challenged worms
1:05 pm

I'm not afraid of snakes, but husband stepped up and overcame his terrible fear to protect our dogs.
1:05 pm
Sally-catlover

What on earth made you think they were vipers? They aren't at all alike.
1:05 pm
rubyfoo

but they look like snakes, very interesting
1:05 pm

ruby, have you heard more from river?
1:05 pm

They wouldn't have hurt the dogs you know.

that's too bad ruby.
1:06 pm
rubyfoo

their heads are pointy and there are only 2 kinds of snakes in this region, vipers (very common with a pointy head and the same size as these) and coulouvre (sp?) very big and non-venomous (not so common)
1:06 pm
stidmama

do you have vipers in that part of france?
1:06 pm
Sally-catlover

Would love to have slow worms in our garden. We only have grass snakes, and love to see them.
1:07 pm

Vipers would, though, their bite is lethal for dogs and other animals.

Ruby tried to get at one of these which is why husband killed it. He was afraid she'd get bitten. From what I've read (since) slow worms will bite if trapped

rubyfoo

yeeees
1:09 pm

Ah thank you. Knew son had had surgery, but not his name.
1:10 pm

I was surprised that they bite. Other lizards are very shy. Slow worms will shed their tails when caught, also.

Believe it or not there are still people out there using rabbit ears - I found that out by hearing all about how to adjust the rabbit ears for the new digital signals (good luck, basically). They were a pain. There was one station we had to have someone stand next to the TV and touch (not hold, just touch) the top of one of them!
1:46 pm
Mom

geez, Helensgirlkid, I can believe it. I told my sweetie last night these new HD TV's remind me of the olden days ..... turn them on and wait for them to warm up
1:46 pm

But from reports from my ex-husband, satellite dishes are just as bad, only you have to go up on the roof to wiggle them.

1:51 pm

The 1st TV prog I remember seeing in colour was 'Bewitched'
1:52 pm
helensgirlkid

Or very old Coke bottles
1:52 pm
FMitch

and as the credits started as a cartoon I thought it was great until Mum said it was bath time and the rest of the prog was real people. I was so disapointed.
1:52 pm
Mom

we didn't have a color tv until 1972, by then pretty much everything was color.
1:53 pm
Mom

I liked Bewitched
1:53 pm

Sally-catlover

I remember going to a neighbour's to watch the coronation on a tiny TV in black and white. There were about 20 of us piled into their sitting room. First TV I ever saw.
1:53 pm
helensgirlkid

Of course, for a couple of years we had a TV with NO picture - we used it as an alarm clock. Turned it on with the sound way up on the way to bed (we could sleep through the hiss easily) and the science class blasted us out of bed at 6 am. Then we had a baby, and didn't need an alarm clock any more.

Where I grew up, bath night was Saturday - whether you were dirty or not. Batman used to be on the TV, and after baths, all us kids used to tuck the towels down our collars, and charge up and down the road, going Dana dana dana etc...the batman theme tune!!
1:54 pm
Mom

lol Soodle
1:55 pm
helensgirlkid

We watched the coronation standing on the street outside a furniture store downtown - with a couple of hundred other people, little kids on shoulders, much jostling for position, and much arguing about who was which - no sound, of course!

Watched the fireworks at the end of the show at the Stampede last night (from the roof) and saw they are using a lot of strong spotlights this year - anybody else remember all those war surplus anti-aircraft spotlights that showed up for big used car sales and opening new supermarkets all through the 1950s?
1:57 pm

I remember the spotlights, helen.
1:58 pm

hi FM
1:58 pm

I guess as those wore out, the cost of new ones was way too high. I assume that the Stampede has discovered that new technology brought them back down.

i'll go google that too
2:44 pm
Haz1558

Can you get slow glow worms? Or go slow worms (ones that are on strike?)
2:45 pm
Sally-catlover

Slow worms are legless lizards and are brilliant for the garden. I have a feeling they are endangered in the UK, but not sure. We would /love/ to have them in our garden, but although we do have grass snakes we have never seen a slow worm.
2:45 pm
Atalante

go slow glow worm
2:45 pm
Dorens

yes. just read they are a protected species in the UK
2:45 pm
Atalante

the german for glowworm is gluwurmchen
2:45 pm
Sally-catlover

We do however have glow worms :-)
2:45 pm
Dorens

and their biggest predators are house cats... no wonder i haven't seen any... with my two ferocious felines
2:46 pm
Sally-catlover

I am NOT getting at ruby here but I do think it is a shame when things get killed through ignorance.
2:46 pm

I'm surprised the German word isn't longer. They haven't really put their backs into it at all.
2:46 pm

ruby, if you read this I am NOT getting at you.

hah, true haz.. german words can get particularly unwieldy to the non german speakers
2:47 pm

You're telling me it's exciting! Really good to hear it's moving forward, too; hope this is the start of something amazing!
4:41 pm

4:42 pm
JBV

they live in one of the most beautiful places on earth - the foot of the Italian alps, near Torino
4:42 pm
dcseain

very nice, jbv :)
4:43 pm
redturtlehead

I think you should make some visiting plans, jbv, it would be a real experience!
4:43 pm
JBV

one step at a time, red, but don't think I haven't already considered it
4:44 pm
Nancy Boy

Well take it at the pace that feels right, JBV, but know that my fingers are firmly crossed for you :)
4:44 pm
JBV

i'm so glad I'm retired, I have nothing but time to devote to reading and studying Italian right now
4:44 pm

4:45 pm
Nancy Boy

Yeaaah, but I'm trying not to think about mine ;)
4:45 pm
JBV

ok, forget I said anything :)
4:46 pm

It's only because I'm so scared! Really excited, of course, and so glad I have this opportunity, but I'm terrified as well.

that was sweet of them, though, my what a mixed bag for you. *hugs*
4:49 pm
Nancy Boy

Yeah, they are great people :) thanks, Seain! But, I don't want to steal JBV's thunder :P and I am definitely not getting my hopes up, so...
4:49 pm
dcseain

did the trip include a hotel for you?
4:50 pm
JBV

are you going alone NB?
4:51 pm
Nancy Boy

Well hopefully, hopefully, hopefully, I will be able to stay with family. If not, I'm pretty good at travelling on the cheap ;)
4:52 pm
dcseain

:) may it pass well for you
4:52 pm
Nancy Boy

And yeah, JBV - couple of people offered to come with me, but not sure how fair it'd be to them. Whatever happens I'd be an emotional wreck, plus I'd have to be travelling quite a lot there - starting where most of my family is in Seoul, but going from there...
4:52 pm
JBV

i'm sure it will all work out, NB - your profile quote will see you through
4:53 pm
JBV

well, you can always log on and check in here for moral support
4:53 pm

indeed, as JBV said :)
4:54 pm
KatieMcG

when are you planning to go NB?
4:54 pm
Nancy Boy

well, thank you both :) I'm very deliberately not hoping for too much though - I'm hoping a few of the cousins in my generation might understand, though.
4:54 pm
Nancy Boy

Erk, Katie. In about a month.
4:55 pm
KatieMcG

good luck with it, I am sure it will be better than you think
4:56 pm
dcseain

oh, NB, quasi-randomly, there are several Korean Chung Dae Churches around here. Do you know what that is? I know Christian, but where in the protestant spectrum?
4:56 pm

go, go Katie, form of victory!
4:57 pm

Hm, not to sure about that, Seain! My family are Buddhist Koreans, so that's all I really have experience of...could try and find out when I'm there, though!
4:58 pm

I didn't even know Rhode Island was a State! doesn't sound like it should be
5:15 pm

for most states, abbrev is 1st and last letters, though there are exeptions like TX (Texas)
5:16 pm
Riverdance

the M states are also confusing
5:16 pm

Rhode Island, formally the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is a tiny state bought from the natives by people that left Massachusetts back when. It has some islands, largest of which is Block Island, but is mostly on the mainland

5:20 pm

5:21 pm

we usually only spell them out the first time in an article, and most never spell them out informally.
5:21 pm
dcseain

two-word states take 1st letter of each word
5:21 pm
Minveryork

Just spelling some of the states can be a challenge so it is easier to just use the state abbreviations lynxxx
5:22 pm
Nancy Boy

states...we only get counties, what a cheat!
5:22 pm
dcseain

massachusetts and mississippi and illinois are hard for most to spell, for example
5:23 pm

I get confused with our counties NB just like you may with our states.

For example, MA, how many s's and t's does it have & MI,how many i's&s's does it have and Arkansas why is there a silent s at the end of it? Why can't they all be easy four or five letter words like Ohio,Texas,&Utah.
5:24 pm
dcseain

IL for illinois, and you have a point lyn. Our local paper usually spells the states out, mostly to avoid confusion between the VA and Virginia, though DC is referred to as the District.

I like being able to flip it around, like in wordsplay. No, it's not different grids, it's just rotating it 45 degrees/
5:48 pm

you get a towel, work fast, and try to wrap her up like a little burrito, with all sharp appendages safely tucked inside. it's not easy. but if you do get her immobilized, then you can try to do the gel. set her between your legs/knees to help hold her still so your hands are free. bring bandages. for you.

When I ra 5/10d myself out of bed, I was determined to start babbling early&finish.But then I was wi 8/75 from the grid. I was he4/6 up with household chores and started the grid late. At le 5/10 the end is ne4/4 I can do a story filled with hi5/12. After 200 words I felt like such a di4/10. I was in such a di6/24 & I also felt like I was in di 4/5 straits & called for my th5/12 monkeys. Monkeys were a pain in the ar 4/4 though. Wh4/9 I yelled,"come hi 6/24!" they just remained id 4/5 and did not budge. It ir 4/4 me wh 4/9 they are obstinate and it makes me re 4/4 mad. It's ra 4/4 for them to cooperate with me. Had to drag them by the ea4/4.My monkeys were running around wi4/9 in the pool ar4/4 and didn't want to come. I told them they ei6/21 had to come help or I drain the pool & they go to th5/12 cages. Well, They started to wreak havoc upon th 5/12 ar 7/40. They got all ri 4/4 up over the va 4/7 number of words. Th 4/5 the te 5/10 started flowing and they became wh7/48 and wh5/20d about being too ti 4/4d. I wanted to kick all of them in the re4/4. I finally let monkeys go to the di 5/12 so they could eat dinner. They tw 5/18 around in excitement & sprinted off. I think if they had vi 4/7s they would have left the country.I want to hi4/5 new monkeys. Now hubby is being a he4/5. I can he4/5 him getting impatient waiting for the computer. The more hubby he5/12 my fingers typing,the more agitated he gets. Husband gets into a big sn4/4.We are ri5/16 when it comes to computer. I wish I could get another cheap laptop on sa4/4.Anyway,I will let him be a st7/28 and st 5/10 the computer. Now I'm going to te4/4 myself away from this and ri 4/4 out of this seat and watch My Name is Ea 4/4 wh 5/20 he is on Farmville.I will be back later on to enter the re4/4 of my words.I might save the la 4/4 word until right before the flip.
