1:22 am
VolleymomDee
here's what wikip. says" Hoser is both a slang term and a stereotype, originating from and used primarily in Canada. It is not often used by Canadians, but it is sometimes used as "typical" Canadian slang by those imitating Canadians, similar to the expression "eh?" The term "hoser" also comes from the comedic skit by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas is "The Great White North" also known as Bob and Doug Mckenzie. [1]
1:22 am

yonder is a hoser lol
1:24 am
jillibus
a real canadian neologism
1:24 am
VolleymomDee
words are so much fun
1:25 am
m9f9l
dee.. that wicki went on to tell two possible origins..
1:25 am
westford
I've never met a Canadian I didn't like
1:25 am
m9f9l
Like the very similar term hosehead, the term may have referred to farmers of the Canadian prairies, who would siphon gas from farming vehicles with a hose during the Great Depression of the 1930s.
1:25 am
westford
especially Canadian Babblers
1:25 am
VolleymomDee
oops didn't read far enough m9 ty
1:25 am
jillibus
lucky you, west, lol!
1:25 am
m9f9l
Another proposed etymology originated from the sport of ice hockey. The losing team would supposedly have to water down the ice using hoses, hence the name "hoser".
1:26 am
VolleymomDee
very interesting
1:26 am
m9f9l
I think the gas siphoning makes more sense...
1:26 am
westford
I think so jilli
1:26 am
m9f9l
or a combo of both!
1:26 am
VolleymomDee
could be
1:26 am
westford
I was a product of a gas shortage
1:27 am
jillibus
there seems to be a "duh" element to hosers -- the hoseheads sound too clever.
1:27 am
m9f9l
ah.. "we ran out of gas!" ??
1:27 am
westford
my parents met during gas rationing mom was in dad's carpool
1:27 am
m9f9l
ah that's sweet west!
1:27 am

1:28 am

1:29 am
jillibus

1:29 am
westford
my mother was a welder in a shipyard during WWII
1:30 am
m9f9l
what's a peking picnic?
1:30 am
westford
that sounds most romantic jilli
1:31 am
jillibus
"foreigners" in Peking (now Beijing) in the 20s used to organise picnics in the countryside
1:31 am
m9f9l
i see that it's the name of a book..
1:32 am
jillibus
There was even a book written called "Peking Picnic"
1:32 am
m9f9l
did he come striding through a field and kiss her like in A Room With A View????
1:32 am
jillibus
Ah, I see you knew, m9!
1:32 am
m9f9l
(no... I googled it)
1:32 am
m9f9l
(haven't you figured out my ways yet??LOL)
1:32 am
VolleymomDee
jili did you say once that you were born in Peking?
1:33 am
m9f9l
(and yes.. I know that A Room With A View is not set in Peking!)
1:33 am
jillibus
I have a photo of a group of them beside a railway car -- my dad eyeing my mother before they actually knew each other.
1:34 am
jillibus
Yes, dee, I was born there (see my bio)
1:34 am
westford
you can put that in your book jilli
1:34 am
jillibus
They had quite a love story -- he was engaged to someone else in England
1:35 am
m9f9l
that is SO cool jilli!!
1:35 am
westford
oh do tell
1:36 am
VolleymomDee
aww... your bio answered my second question ... how long you were in China... very interesting ty for sharing
1:37 am
m9f9l
what were they doing there?
1:38 am
jillibus
She was coming to China to marry my dad, so he said to my mother " I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not honour more." So she left for Japan to leave them alone. Then his fiancee arrived and broke the news to him that she had met someone else on the ship, and broke the engagement.
1:39 am
westford
that's just like a movie
1:39 am
westford
how noble of both of them
1:40 am
jillibus
My dad was there working for the Chinese Postal Bank. My mother was teaching Englsih by phonetics according to her father's immersion methods to Chinese medical students at the rockefeller Foundation;s Peking Union Medical College.
1:40 am
m9f9l
that made HeWho happy. He didn't like the idea of your dad breaking his promise....
1:41 am
jillibus
It's a long story on both sides. Those generations of Brits were very adventurous.

jilli did they remain friends?
1:43 am
jillibus
I have 168 left! Not going to worry about this one -- too busy tomorrow.
1:45 am
jillibus
west, that's a funny one. When I was 8 and went to England, I was introduced to another little girl by my aunt (my dad's sister) so that I'd have someone to play with. Turns out she was the ex-fiancee's kid. I found out later that my mother was not pleased.
1:45 am
westford
yes, lol you might have been sisters
1:46 am
m9f9l
i don't think "we can still be friends" was done so much back then!LOL
1:46 am
jillibus
that's a helical thought, west!
1:47 am
westford
I hope you're thinking about who will play them in the movie
1:47 am
jillibus
Actually, the ex-fiancee went back to England so I don't think they saw anything of each other after the breakup.
1:47 am
westford
but first you must write the book
1:47 am
jillibus
very funny, west!
1:48 am
m9f9l
oh.. what actors do you think looks most like them??
1:48 am
jillibus
I wanted my dad to write the book.
1:48 am
jillibus
Paul Newman looked a bit like my dad.
1:48 am
m9f9l
but he's died! that won't work at all!
1:49 am
jillibus
Irene Dunne like my mother?
1:49 am
m9f9l
oh! how bout that guy who played captain kirk in the latest star trek??
1:49 am
jillibus
Can't think of any of the new ones. Will try...

1:56 am
westford

1:57 am
jillibus
He was 50 then.
1:58 am
westford
I can only see the tiny pic will go out and come back in
1:58 am
jillibus
He wasn't really that serious -- just felt awkward having his picture taken.
1:58 am
m9f9l
this is zooey deschanel: http://tinyurl.com/267pcwu
1:59 am
m9f9l
he's quite good looking.
1:59 am

I think chris pine is a good choice.
1:59 am
westford
that didn't work either
2:00 am
westford
she's pretty kind of looks like your Aidan
2:00 am
jillibus
yes, zooey is a bit like my mum
2:00 am
m9f9l
oh yeah! but most people say Aiden looks like Drew Barrymore

Chris Pine isn't chiselled enough. Dad was more like Alec Guinness in the Bridge Over the River Kwai.
2:04 am

What news of life with lynxxx and Stu?
3:09 am
lynxxx
Not much actually, still waiting for Spring to arrive, only seen glimpses so far. That will give me a spur on to start some projects. What is happening with you...I imagine lots with your daughter/s (?) back and planning of wedding
3:11 am
diann
morning all and sandrafrances
3:11 am
Haz1558
It's been one of those slightly mad periods where everything has happened at once. Wedding planning is going swimmingly, but lots of activity to do with Riding for the Disabled, I was helping out at a charity function last night and I've taken on another role as secretary for Speech and drama at the local festival.
3:11 am
lynxxx
Sorry I haven't been talking much of late. I am finding some of the company a little off-putting. Present company excluded of course!
3:12 am
Haz1558
I know, it can get overwhelming and easier to keep quiet.
3:12 am
lynxxx
When is the local festival (annual I expect?)
3:12 am
Haz1558
Hello, diann.
3:13 am
lynxxx
morning Diann and Sandra
3:13 am
Haz1558
It happens every late February/ early March. There's a huge amount of administration going on behind the scenes that I knew nothing about.
3:14 am
Haz1558
Sadly, the previous secretary died recently so it's a case of trying to figure out what used to happen and update things to bring it in line with computers. She had refused to use them...
3:14 am
lynxxx
oh dear. Volunteers are wonderful and usually hold all those things together
3:15 am
Haz1558
She was something of a legend in the town, so active in so many areas, it's a hard act to follow.
3:16 am
lynxxx
I am sure you will do exceptionally well
3:17 am
Haz1558
I'm getting a lot of support from other members, so I'm hoping it will all go smoothly.
3:18 am
Haz1558
The prospect of listening to 90 pupils reciting the same poem is a bit daunting.
3:19 am
Haz1558
Lots of the classes are for schools, so troops of children arrive to say their bit. The same adjudicator listens to the whole lot and my role will be to prod her awake.
3:20 am
Haz1558
So, apart from all that going on, life is normal.
3:25 am

3:26 am

Hi Haz, you ARE a busy bee at the moment!
3:27 am
Haz1558
I know. It all seems to be happening at once. The charity do last night was a great success, a Pink Pamper night for ladies in a local hotel. We'll find out today how much money was raised.
3:27 am
FMitch
Oh that sounds like fun.
3:28 am
Haz1558
It was for Action Cancer, the charity of the Moonlight walk. We had about 160 ladies out last night and it was fun watching them trying to do armchair yoga.
3:28 am
Haz1558
One fried had me in stitches. She was always one beat behind everyone else, like Jones in Dad's Army.
3:29 am
FMitch
Armchair yoga? lol re friend.
3:30 am
Haz1558
Kind of using exercises that could be done sitting down - lots of arm movements, leg exercises but no twisting in knots.
3:30 am
FMitch
Ahh well Im sure a good time was had by all and in the name of a very good cause.
3:31 am
Haz1558
There was also a talk on dressing in a recession (new version of wartime Make do and Mend) and a talk on breast self-examination. So a good variety of topics.
3:32 am
lynxxx
is the Recession still a problem over there?
3:32 am
Haz1558
Yes, it was fun and they all went home with a goody bag of treats donated by friendly firms. People here like to get their money's worth.
3:32 am
FMitch
No rain today and the sun is just coming through the mist so I am getting ready to head out and do shopping/errands and then get stuck into a mound of paperwork.
3:33 am
Haz1558
It's a big problem, lynxxx and may be about to get worse as the government is going to be issuing cuts soon to get the deficit reduced.
3:33 am
lynxxx
Grim. We are doing very well over here
3:33 am
Haz1558
Enjoy the sun (we had mist last night as well for the first time) and don't get TOO stuck in the paperwork mound.
3:33 am
FMitch
and VAT goes up in January to 20%
3:34 am
Haz1558
So husband was right. He mentioned something about VAT going up and I hoped he was either mistaken or joking. Eeeeek.
3:35 am
FMitch
yep, a 5% rise :(
3:35 am
Haz1558
It's at 17.5% now, though.
3:35 am
FMitch
doh you are right HAz was remembering the heady days when it was dropped to 15%.
3:36 am
Haz1558
They took it back to 15 for a while to encourage us to spend money we didn't have.
3:36 am
lynxxx
but is it on ALL goods and services. It is here with few exceptions
3:36 am
FMitch
OK gonna scoot, the sooner I go the sooner I can be back to babble, erm I mean work *grin*
3:37 am
Haz1558
It's not on food or children's clothes and you can claim it back if you're registered as a trader or farmer etc.
3:38 am
lynxxx
It is not on FRESH foods here, can't think of any other exceptions
3:38 am
Haz1558
It can make quite a hefty difference to a bill - things can look reasonable until you start adding in the extras. It's a bit like these budget airlines, you can go anywhere for practically nothing, but oh look, you've got to pay taxes and extra to be able to breathe fresh air.
3:40 am
Haz1558
Paying tax never has been and never will be popular, but if we want roads and hospitals etc, then we just have to cough up.
3:40 am
lynxxx
Ours is still at 12.5%. Wonder how our personal tax rates compare....anyway half way for me, will take a break for a bit. Bye for now Haz
3:41 am
Haz1558
Toodle-oo, lynxxx and thanks for confirming that I'm not the only one to be quiet for a reason.
3:42 am
Haz1558
I should take a break as well and come back to this with fresh eyes. Bye!
5:40 am
bichon
VAT is 12.5% in austrailia? Wow
5:42 am
lynxxx
Hi Bichon, well timed, 2 hours later and I just got back
5:42 am

Each state has a different sales tax rate [and some have none] Ours is 6%
5:45 am
lynxxx
and VAT in UK is going to be 20%. But we both have a better public health system than the US I think. The UK is much better than Australias
5:46 am
lynxxx
We don't have individual state taxes...each gets a portion from the Commonwealth from personal, company and GST taxes - much simpler
5:46 am
bichon
I think the public health system in the UK [and Aus.] is more accessible and available than in the US, but I'm not sure that the quality is always better.
5:47 am
bichon
We get our insurance through our employer and we do have to pay for some of it, but we don't have to wait for an operation.
5:47 am
lynxxx
Yes - I meant accessable and affordable only of course
5:48 am
bichon
Then there are the people who are unemployed and don't have insurance at all.
5:48 am
bichon
Our personal tax rates are much lower than in European countries
5:49 am
lynxxx
All are covered by our Medicare and if you want additional cover (so you don't need to wait for operations and have choice of doctors you can take out additional private health cover - privately)
5:50 am
bichon
One problem we face, upon my husband's retirement, is dental coverage. We will have Medicare coverage, but will have to pay to go to the dentist.
5:50 am
lynxxx
Yes - I just looked at them...you seem to be able to claim all sorts of things too. Ours allows no claims for the average income earner. Avge rate is 30-38%
5:51 am
lynxxx
Dental here is a problem too,,,about 30% only is covered by the extras on our private health insurance.
5:52 am
bichon
We don't itemize deductions on our income tax. We don't have a mortgage and have a health savings plan. But, our tax bracket is low
5:53 am
lynxxx
In living memory here we have not been able to claim any sort of mortgage payments
5:54 am
bichon
The interest on a mortgage is fully deductible. But, if you have a small mortgage, it may not pay to itemize deductions
5:55 am
lynxxx
Does the government pay any sort of aged pension?
5:58 am
bichon
We get Social Security, but it's really only a pittance. We have pensions through work though. But still, if you don't have additional savings, it's difficult
6:02 am
lynxxx
Same here, any applicants are asset tested. Though the pension itself is not too bad, livable but no extras. Government, because of baby boomers hitting retirement age, has been pushing Superannuation for last 20 years. Any employer is now obligated to pay 10% into each employees Super fund

Hello again.
6:12 am
sprite
good afternoon all
6:12 am
Haz1558
I'm hoping to get the rest of the grid finished. I've never seen so many s in a grid! Hello, sprite.
6:14 am
sprite
hello beautiful babble friends
6:14 am
lynxxx
98 - if I am adding correctly
6:15 am
sprite
a not insignificant grid in itself, 98
6:15 am
Haz1558
What a nice compliment!
6:15 am
lynxxx
what about yesterdays - ! I listed about halfway
6:16 am
sprite
the both of you deserve it, Haz
6:16 am
Haz1558
I know. Babble's like that, one day a delight, the next a slog. Don't ever get complacent about babble!
6:16 am
sprite
I liked yesterdays. Listed for the last 5.
6:17 am
lynxxx
I am waiting for Sprite to tell us about her good morning, she is obviously very happy with the world
6:17 am
lynxxx
If you list for anything Sprite I just know I am going to be in trouble
6:17 am
sprite
I am. Made some big decisions and am ready to go on with MY life.
6:18 am
Haz1558
Excellent! And not a k in sight, it's an omen.
6:18 am
sprite
lol lyn!
With big grids, I sometimes have to list at the end because I cannot think of any more words to try.
6:18 am
sprite
Haz, it must be :)
6:18 am
lynxxx
Good girl!
6:19 am
sprite
oh, and I had tremendous fun making this icon.
6:19 am
Haz1558
You've combined all the elements - well done! I'm sure ruby will be back at some stage to enjoy it.
6:20 am
lynxxx
That is fun Sprite
6:20 am
sprite
most likely, and otherwise I can email her the picture.
6:20 am
sprite
I like the toasting fossil best
6:21 am
Haz1558
And is the drink definitely his tipple?
6:22 am
sprite
hold on, must look up tipple
6:22 am
Haz1558
His drink of choice.
6:23 am
sprite
oh nice one :)
Actually, the fossil said that after so many years in the earth, any alcohol would do.
6:24 am
Haz1558
Understandable! Your English is so good I sometimes forget that you don't know every phrase - and of course there are all sorts of regional variations as well.
6:24 am
sprite
I love learning new words and phrases. Thanks.
6:25 am
bichon
The Dutch speake the best English
6:25 am
Haz1558
People can also ask 'What's your poison?' meaning 'What would you like to drink?' but it must sound off-putting to the unwary.
6:25 am
sprite
hi bichon! Well, except for the English people?
6:26 am
Haz1558
Debatable, when you hear some people speaking on TV.
6:26 am
lynxxx
nearly 200 and I just find an 8/9
6:27 am
bichon
I've always wondered why the Dutch speak the best English. The Germans and Scandinavians are good too, but nowhere near the Dutch
6:27 am
sprite
*grin* Must be fun, asking someone which poison they prefer. Will remember.
In dutch, some people on TV are awful to listen to too. Some accents are horrible.
6:27 am
bichon
Share Lynxxx, please
6:28 am
sprite
bichon, it might be because the Dutch always had to? Being a tiny country and being very active traders?
6:28 am
bichon
Sprite in NYC and the surrounding area, we have a lot of Dutch place names. Front steps are called the "stoop"
6:28 am
lynxxx
think of the tongue twister about selling shells at the beach
6:29 am
sprite
oh I didn't know that! That is funny, bichon.
6:29 am
sprite
lyn, how does it go?
6:29 am
bichon
And a seesaw is called a "sliding nd" after some Dutch word
6:30 am
sprite
a seesaw is a swing, right? We call that a schommel... something you probably cannot pronounce. The ch is a hard G, a guttural sound.
6:30 am
lynxxx
Thats a bit hard Sprite, gives too much away. think of a compound word for a beach
6:31 am
bichon
ty Lynxxx, got it
6:31 am
sprite
ohhhh sorry lyn! I didn't realise it was a clue. Please tell me the tongue twister tomorrow?
6:31 am
lynxxx
a seesaw is a plank of wood balanced in the centre, so needs 2 children on either end to go up then down
6:31 am
bichon
No, a seesaw is a plank and it's set on a thingamajib which makes it go up and down when there are children on it.
6:32 am
sprite
oh ok, that is a wip. Or a wipwap.
6:32 am
bichon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seesaw
6:33 am
sprite
thanks, yes a wip (in Dutch). Don't know from which word 'sliding pond' comes.
6:33 am
bichon
I could never speak Dutch. Correctly pronouncing VanGogh is a bear
6:33 am
lynxxx
a thinjamajib - of course! - I couldn't think what to call it!
6:34 am
bichon
I think it's a sliding bahn, corrupted to pond
6:34 am
sprite
Van Gogh and Scheveningen. Enough to drive most english and german speaking people nuts.
6:35 am
sprite
bichon, that is odd! A sliding bahn refers to a glijbaan, a smooth thing that you climb at one si4, with steps, and then slide down from.
6:36 am
bichon
Wait, I'm mixed up. A sliding pond is a slide. Got to get back to my inner child
6:36 am
sprite
ah, that makes sense. Let's get out to the playing ground, bichon.
6:40 am
sprite
oh got another 8
6:42 am
Haz1558
The comparatives and superlatives get a good showing today. And there are some nice uses of the 'le4/4 is more' ending.
6:42 am
sprite
ah thanks :)
6:52 am
Haz1558
Right, I'm going to leave you to enjoy the rest of the grid. Nice to see you all and have a good day. Bye!
6:53 am
sprite
bye Haz, have a good day

Sirens... yeah, as in emergency alarms!
12:11 pm
FMitch
Are you still working on the huge project and if so how is it going?

di 8/45?
12:15 pm
Vicuna
They did. They have placed an order to have one framed and hung in their play area. I'm pretty pleased with it. A few parts didn't turn out as I hoped, but that's inevitable. For the most part I like it. Now we'll have to see how the great public feel about it at shows!
12:16 pm
Vicuna
di8/45 - expire + peanut butter Pieces without the double vowel
12:16 pm
FMitch
Well done dear one - it was quite a project!
12:17 pm

Yeah, took me a couple of weeks. Of course, a couple of weeks of work is nothing compared with a big needlework project!
12:17 pm
varumba
i don't get the peanut butter pieces vic
12:18 pm
Vicuna
Oh, sorry, varumba, that's a US thing. Try expire + consonant + spelled out plural letter

12:20 pm
varumba

12:20 pm

I think that di word is one of the hardes I have seen to clue for a long time.

FMitch

12:24 pm
Vicuna
Yeah, well I'm not very outgoing in general, so that was just me. Nothing wrong with jumping right in if that's your style!
12:24 pm
varumba

The majority of idiocies are committed by people who are afraid of looking like idiots!

Oh that feeling comes to us all from time to time var
12:25 pm
varumba
i think it's more that i am so competitive, i cannot go to bed until i have finished that damn grid..... so i have to ask before i throw the laptop at the wall out of frustration ;)
12:26 pm
Anniebrook
I think varumba might need an intervention in the future
12:26 pm
Vicuna
Ah, yes, I didn't finish a grid until I'd played for I don't know how long. Admittedly, when FM and I began, there was no such thing as a list.
12:26 pm
jacq
hello everybody
12:26 pm
varumba
oh i wouldn't go far without the list!
12:27 pm

Now that finishing is possible, I also am too compulsive to leave one undone.

Well, it wasn't long before people would post snippets of list in the log: all the L's, say. But I think it was a while before BJ's list in all its glory was available.

10:54 pm
Nef

10:56 pm
herinfernallady

10:58 pm
herinfernallady

11:08 pm
Nef
herin; it would be nice to find such a deal; never heard of that before and would love to hear how you do.
11:08 pm
jmcnrick
too bad herin but you can stay and chat
11:08 pm
herinfernallady
They do have them but they are very pricey. I guess it is Mcdonalds for dinner that night
11:08 pm
herinfernallady
I am going to finish with the list
11:08 pm
jmcnrick
the hotel we stay at for thankgiving includes the breakfast and dinner in the price --lunch is extra
11:09 pm
herinfernallady
we don't need breaky we are going out for luch
11:09 pm
Nef
really, jmc? That sounds cool!
11:09 pm
jmcnrick
we have been going there 20 years as an ever growing family
11:09 pm
jmcnrick
4 generations
11:10 pm
jmcnrick
well hubby's family
11:10 pm
Nef
WOW!!! what a neat tradition!
11:11 pm
jmcnrick
unfortunately i think we are down to only one member of the first generation (my MIL) coming and I would be surprised if it was not her last
11:12 pm
Nef
how old is she, jmc?
11:12 pm
herinfernallady
That is said
11:12 pm
herinfernallady
SAD bad tyoping
11:13 pm
jmcnrick
late 80s but fell and broke her hip last year (while my mother was dieing and i was distracted) and really has not recovered mentally
11:14 pm
herinfernallady
JM I hope you don't blame yourself for her accident
11:14 pm
Nef
I'm sorry to hear that.
11:14 pm
jmcnrick
oh no -- she was being herself
11:15 pm
jmcnrick
she saw a woman at the "apartment" who had fallen and instead of getting help she decided she would pick her up herself
11:15 pm
herinfernallady
Good I read that as you blamed yourself
11:15 pm
jmcnrick
so shefell and broke her hip
11:16 pm
jmcnrick
her hip replaced but her mind has been rapidly slipping away
11:16 pm
jmcnrick
no no I can see how you would have gotten that but it was more about not being around for her
11:16 pm
jmcnrick
as she was recovering
11:16 pm
Nef
oh dear! trying to help someone else and she injures herself
11:16 pm
herinfernallady
You can't be everwhere at once
11:17 pm
jmcnrick
well she really should have called for help
11:17 pm
jmcnrick
no i know herin but she likes me better than her son who has now come and filled in the void i left
11:17 pm
herinfernallady
awww
11:17 pm
jmcnrick
but i really had to deal with my mother and all
11:18 pm
jmcnrick
i think she may have done better if i had been around more but she was slipping mentally already so whose to say
11:19 pm
Nef
jmc, the son should have been there all along; your leaving and being with your Mother shouldn't have left a void
11:20 pm
Nef
tr8 is 2 4 letter words, tre + not enough
11:20 pm
jmcnrick
well we got along really well and she did not with her local son (one of six including my huby)
