Besides that Latin, I only had choices of French or Spanish from 7th to 12th.
12:21 am

your schools were very unusual, dc
12:21 am

I went to public schools too. in middle school we did spanish. I think there may have been little stint in french. But I was so miserable I really don't remember much of anything.

12:23 am

They should teach Greek too.

I agree(k)
12:24 am

only greek i got was in my spanish and astronomy classes
12:24 am

i concur that greek should be more widely taught.

Maybe a "comparitive languages" course would be good for a broad overview.

does anyone know what the word "aeguiles" means??
5:34 am
hurshy

what makest thou think it IS a word?
5:34 am
hurshy

maybe someone meant to type "beguiles"
5:34 am
Atalante

cos scrabble accepts it :)
5:35 am
hurshy

well, maybe someone mistyped it into the scrabble dictionary!
5:35 am
Atalante

lol maybe! cos I can't find anything!
5:35 am
Atalante

just wondered if anyone else had any better ideas!
5:35 am
hurshy

google turning up NO entries other than a misreading of a scanned book with the name arguiles is a pretty strong statement.
5:36 am
Atalante

yes .... I found the same
5:36 am
sprite

good afternoon all. Another small one... is it sneaky and chewy or smooth and over too fast?
5:36 am
hurshy

but you could always pop over to the library and have a peek in the complete OED
5:36 am

it's pretty easy this time sprite

Morning all. Just got back from grocery shopping - completely drenched!

thanks hursh. Not much chance to evade homely task then...
5:37 am

hi Nancy Boy :)
5:37 am
Nancy Boy

Mornin', Sprite. That's some insect, in your picture ;)
5:37 am
sprite

isn't it :)
5:42 am
sprite

conversation seems to stop very suddenly... not meaning to disturb your chat, Ata and hursh?
5:42 am
Atalante

you didn't!!
5:43 am
sprite

pfew am glad. How's the knee, Ata?
5:43 am
Nancy Boy

I was thinking it was me, Sprite :) How are you?
5:44 am
sprite

feeling rather lousy because I hardly sleep nowadays, it is SO hot. But otherwise pretty good.
How's your ankle today?
5:45 am
Atalante

hurting. like normal. LOL!
5:45 am
Nancy Boy

Oh, that's no good, Sprite :( can you rig up some fans? or buy a waterbed and freeze it? ;)
5:45 am
sprite

argh Ata :( I hope it is hurting from healing. Situation at home unchanged?
5:46 am
Atalante

yep, and poor hobbit is very sad cos she's not having long walks this week!
5:46 am
sprite

all fans are sold out in this crazy country. But hey, great idea, about the waterbed! *googles to find a freezer big enough for a bed*
5:47 am
sprite

aw poor Hobbit, sweetie. Things will be better, promise. *playful cuddle*
5:47 am
Nancy Boy

I'll bring you back some from Korea ;) of course, they'll all have timer switches on, 'cause over there people think they can kill you if left on....sigh.
5:48 am
sprite

lol! While I really need them at night mostly.
5:50 am
sprite

so, how about that ankle, Nancy Boy? *stern mama look*
5:50 am
Nancy Boy

I didn't know it got so hot there. England is cooling down, just had an awesome rain shower which has drenched me head to toe!
5:51 am
sprite

I would have loved to be there with you, Nancy Boy. We can use a big shower. But it does seem to cool down a bit today, indeed. I long for a night that is cold enough to have a sheet over me.
5:51 am
Nancy Boy

Are you stealing Stid's stern mama look? ;) the ankle is dreading going to work later but is otherwise fine. Bruises are lighter but it's still the same colour as my icon :P
5:54 am
sprite

I love your icon. Bruises getting all colours is a good sign. Are you still having new black spots coming up from the deep or not?
And yes, stiddie and I have that same look :)
5:56 am
Nancy Boy

I'm trying to get into the spirit for my trip ;) and nope, think it's well on it's way to healing now! Despite my employer's concern, it's actually been pretty good for my job - all my regular punters and now coming in even more regularly to see how I am! :)
5:58 am
sprite

awwww that is kind of sweet. Glad to know you are more than an object to them, Nancy Boy. Another load of healing vibes coming up...
5:58 am
Atalante

the bruising never came out probably in the knee - 5 weeks after the accident my shin and knee was still puffed up with bruising that wouldn't come out and the physio had to poke them a lot to break them up
5:59 am
sprite

oh yes, the knee is such a wondrous place, lol. Tendons and weird bones and muscles... no place for a bruise to walk its normal path. You must have cursed the physio to Pluto and back ;)
6:00 am
Atalante

it hurt LOL. yes, she basically said, if it's not hurting like hell right now, you're not pressing hard enough
6:00 am
sprite

hahaha, the wicked witch
6:00 am
Nancy Boy

oh yes Sprite, they are sweet guys :) I should probably hop (literally) into the shower though, before I freeze to death! So thanks for all the healing vibes, Sprite, and see you later!
6:01 am
Atalante

she's a great physio though, I love her
6:01 am
sprite

bye Nancy Boy, have a good day and take care *hug*
6:01 am
sprite

a physio must be a little wicked or they wouldn't be able to break bad cycles.
6:02 am
Atalante

absolutely
6:03 am
Atalante

aha! there you are, little solo E letter
6:03 am
sprite

a friend of mine has had about everything you can have done to your legs... stance correction, new knees, new hips. And she had a real love/hate relation with her physio. They literally yelled at eachother, lol.
6:04 am

hm don't have it yet, looking. WTG for you for flushing it out.
6:05 am

hah got it. Nothing little about it!
6:05 am

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
7:44 am
Kaplan the Magne

I meant yet instead of left. I have been riffing on the phrase "A nominal egg" for days and found a site called "Eggcorns" that specializes in common mispronouncuations and misueses. Another I like is "Balling my eyes out." And of course, I hope they find an anecdote to that poison.
7:44 am
Kaplan the Magne

Misuses, not misuseses of course!
7:45 am
Anniebrook

I caught that, was thinking of correcting the misuse
7:46 am
Anniebrook

I have 2 left..one r and one w...might save for later
7:46 am
Kaplan the Magne

I live in Boston, where people actually think the correct phrase is A Nominal Egg.
7:47 am
EvaNadine

i know a gal who always types "should of" and "might of" -- kinda drives me batty.
i also had a friend who honestly thought the phrase was "minus well" -- as in "work was canceled, so i 'minus well' sleep in"
7:47 am
Anniebrook

LOL, Eva
7:47 am
Kaplan the Magne

That's the stuff, eva. Also "a last stitch effort."
7:48 am
EvaNadine

"a nominal egg"
i cant figure out what phrase that is supposed to be... ?
7:48 am
Kaplan the Magne

I know a guy who is just out standing in his field.
7:48 am
Anniebrook

I have a friend that says notary republic
7:48 am

That will cost me a nominal egg- I really can't afford it.

hi all, the misuse that drives me crazy and has become so widely misuesd that it seem to be acceptable is "I seen" as in "I seen the tornado hit the trailer park"

i agree, kaplan. even if you know, the difference, i prefer to say midnight or noon, since it is both clearer and easier.

I'm down with the slang, but I'm fighting desperately to keep hold of my accent. I keep lapsing into more and more of a London twang and it's terrifying. I speak the queen's english, don'tcha know..

Do you get different slang in different parts of the states? Here people from the north and people from the south might as well be speaking a different language.
8:06 am

I dunno - what are ya'll doin' later? I'm fixin' to go to the store. I live in the South and it is absolutely different slang than other parts of the country.

NB, one example is that in the midwest we call soda drinks pop but if I got elsewhere in the country and ask for a pop they don't what I'm talking about

In the South, everything is called a "Coke" whether it is orange or lemon-lime or even Pepsi.

thankfully, most of the time, i only need to show up, shut up, and sit there -- it usually has nothing to do with me. today i actually had to say something good thing i dressed business-y today! (save for the dangly skull earrings im wearing) ;)
and its usually a quick meeting, 15 minutes or less.

as a antique glass collector,i can tell you the term "pop" came from the type of bottles that it was packaged in up here just before the turn of the last century.they were made of heavy glass and had a small ramp up in the neck of the bottle which in turn held an actual marble.at bottling time this marble was forced by carbonation up into the top of the neck where it formed a seal against a rubber washer.children of the time would open these by ramming a pencil or stick down sharply against the top of the the marble braking the seal with a loud "pop" sound.these bottles are very collectable and commonly reffered to as "cod stoppers"....

10:50 am

i read somewhere that (in america, anyway) arranged marriages have a higher success rate than non-arranged. and given the general american mindset, it makes sense. arranged marriages are more of a business contract, while non-arranged are based on emotion.

If you even made it through The Ring, you should definitely watch Poltergeist. It is a much better movie - and less scary, I think.

I only made it through The Ring by looking at that kid and thinking, "well, in a fair fight, I could probably take her.."

11:18 am

The People Under the Stairs is another hilariously bad movie - the Evil Dead and Shaun of the Dead are good funny horror movies. And don't forget Zombieland!

11:22 am

I saw The Ring with my husband and he laughed all the way through it which kind of killed my fear. The way the kid moved freaked me out when I watched it on cable alone though. If you liked Shaun of the Dead, you will LOVE Zombieland!

The visuals of The Ring got to me. The videotape is genuinely very, very freaky.
11:24 am

The visuals were the scary part for me too - especially the girl climbing out of the well - and the fly on the screen.
11:26 am
Nancy Boy

Urgh yeah, and when she coughs up that...thing...the horse scared me too. Probably because I'm scared of horses anyway. I liked the book, though; wasn't especially well-written (I think a lot got lost in translation) but it gave you a lot of background
11:27 am
Nancy Boy

and those little "flashes" of the ring, and the TVs flicking on, and, and, oh god, it's horrible!
11:28 am

I've now had my fill of Japanese horror movies with The Ring, the Grudge, both sequels, etc. so I think I will move on the better movies.
11:28 am

Did you see the original Japanese versions? Those turn you over...
11:29 am

I saw the original Ring (or maybe Grudge) but the others were all remakes.
11:29 am

I thought Let the Right One In was a really good subtitled movie too if you haven't seen it.
11:30 am

I still believe The Shining to be the perfect film, though. Just the music sets me on edge!

had been on PBS quite a few time, worth seeking out, about a therapist and a patient, with reactive dreams, odd how he manipulated the mans dreams to change the world, what he tried for usually backfired, makes you happy with what you've got, set way into the future, as '70s moives were, now that we are there, they forgot to include financial crisises

I thought Paranormal Activity was scary too - mostly because it seemed like such a normal life for much of the movie. I really liked both of those too, Gail.

I used to walk the stairs in DC used for the exorcist, they are very scary, but, the house is no where near them

The Exorcist was very scary when it came out - not so much upon rewatch. The book was much scarier, I thought. Taking the kids to lunch so I will drop in later to see if anyone needs clues (or has other good movies for me to watch!)

Jellen

You are a good person, herin...
7:12 pm
herinfernallady

Jellen. For me to donate blood takes 30min. I fill their pint thing in 6 min
7:12 pm

Herin, I have done it - it is called apherisis, I think.
7:13 pm
Jellen

Hi, cbr
7:14 pm
cbr1965

They put a catheter in one arm and take out your blood and attach it to a machine and take out the platelets and then use another catheter to put the blood (minus platelets) back in. It was years ago, but that's what I remember. I also fill the bags really fast and have really heavy iron in my blood.
7:15 pm
herinfernallady

Thanks CBR. I didn't donate for 6mths the last lady left a bruise and a half. This time nothing.

Jess you are a good fur mummy
9:05 pm
jesdraggon

i don't know the details of what you're referring to, lady, so this is totally pulling stuff out of the air... but "they" who? and how is the RSPCA supposed to actually do anything? at least in the US, the ASPCA is basically a political lobby, not actually shelters or any sort of enforcement.
9:05 pm
jesdraggon

as for slaughter... if they are humanely slaughtered, there's no illegality in it; numbers don't change that, though they make a potentially gruesome headline
9:07 pm
jesdraggon

and regulating puppy mills is complicated--you can limit how many animals a person is allowed to own, but you can also run a puppy mill with 1 male and 1 or 2 female dogs, so limiting to, say, 4 or 5 adult dogs doesn't actually stop people breeding poor quality dogs in bad conditions.
9:07 pm
herinfernallady

Ok. the RSPCA was aware that this puppy farm had horrid conditions. They have the powers to um take the animals. They didn't. This ahole then proceeded to rehouse the dogs at another puppy farmer then they shot them at about 1am
9:07 pm
jesdraggon

and it DOES put a lot of stress on reputable breeders who are trying to make a living breeding quality dogs, or who have a show kennel.

well, at least in the US, confiscating animals is usually a pretty big deal, involving cooperation between a shelter and the local law enforcement, and also requiring a place to put the animals when you take them--and that can be a real bugger. what is a humane society that normally runs at pretty full gonna do with 60 new dogs all at once?
9:09 pm
Magyk

er7?
9:09 pm
jesdraggon

takes a lot of planning and preparation, not just a matter of "go take them"--otherwise the "rescue" just moves them to other crappy conditions.
9:09 pm
herinfernallady

Well the thing is it isn't just that one shelter. There is arms that would take them.
9:09 pm
jesdraggon

they also need to make sure any confiscated dogs are moved to a location that the owner can't get them back.
9:10 pm
jesdraggon

and then they have to hold them while the owner takes them to court trying to get them back.
9:10 pm
herinfernallady

The RSPCA has the power to confiscate with out charges of theft. Then there is other organisations that take them and vet check them. It was really sad
9:10 pm
jesdraggon

because it is pretty much inevitable that they will get sued over something like that
9:11 pm
jesdraggon

i'm not saying they shouldn't try to help where they can; i'm just saying that it is never a simple situation.
9:11 pm
herinfernallady

RSPCA have powers like police. Animal lib dont
9:11 pm
herinfernallady

O and do you know how amusing it is to have a semi deaf cat
9:12 pm
jesdraggon

hell, even sheriff's departments have ended up being sued over animal possession in neglect cases--and they have to hold those dogs the entire time the case is in court, because if they adopt them out, and the judge rules against them, they'd have to go get them back.
9:13 pm

and i'm not familiar with the laws down there, but here, gunshot is a legal method of euthanasia (as long as they do it right)

reading back on the puppy mill issues,not so prevelant here but we are dealing with a cat population explosion.we have 450 cats over and above what our shelter can hold,but we were lucky, a person had a old house due for demolition soon,but it still had full heat and hydro,so he donated it to the the shelter and it has been used to house all the extra cats till they can be adopted lol,they have 2 full bathrooms including tubs and showers for their exclusive use and 5 cat jungle gyms and couches and chairs,there is a volunteer team that takes turns for the daily needs and clean up.they have free run of the house excluding the basement

My kids used to have birthday parties that, instead of presents, asked for things to donate to the shelters. We got all kinds of checks, dog beds, cat beds, food, toys, etc. that we donated. People were really generous when it helped animals and it meant much more to the kids to help the animals than to add more junk to their rooms!

Aaron, it isn't that hard once you get the hang og it. There are a lot of unusable letters in this one. The tile stats underneath tell you how many words come off each letter in the grid.

when you get really lost and/or have extreme difficulty "seeing" a word, you'll see people ask for clues like: er7/36 plz? a clue in the chog might be: er7 = latin mistake

Today was the first time in a long time I haven't had to ask for help. It would be really hard without Lickety too!

People rarely don't look for clues in the chat log, though. They look in the live chat.

You'll see a lot of "call outs" in the first hour after the grid flips...players will be calling out words they find (like er7, dr6 x 2, etc)..."detailed" clues are normally held off for the first hour so players can find words on their own
