J. C.

Ah, but it isn't. ;)
2:00 am
flosey

aha, it was the first time I'd ever heard it
2:03 am
J. C.

It sounds more like 'em' or 'um' than 'irm'.
2:04 am
J. C.

It sounds more like 'em' or 'um' than 'irm'.
2:04 am
jillibus

has to be pronounced the Brit way, not sounding the R. More like "um" here.
2:04 am
flosey

Yes, Jill...
2:05 am

A hairy creature, isn't he? Some despair when I don't know Star Wars things (it is Star Wars rather than Trek, isn't it?)
3:59 am
Sally-catlover

Yes Star Wars. He was little with sticky-out ears, and I wanted to call Daisy the cat Yoda when she first arrived but husband was not keen! I suppose it might have given her a complex.
4:00 am
Haz1558

Daisy sounds nicer.
4:00 am
Sally-catlover

At least, I think it was Star Wars - not a great fan, myself!
4:00 am
Sally-catlover

Daisy suits her nature.

4:04 am
Sally-catlover

I have seen some of the Star Wars films (2?) and some of the very original Star Trek with Leonard Nimoy, but not the later ones. We have a film on our Love Film list (Galaxy Quest) which is supposed to be a spoof on Star Trek, so I am looking forward to that.

Crosshair, I was always insomniac, until I retired. Now I find I iften stay awake all night reading (or on Babble) but take four-hour naps in the daytime. Then, I have days when I'll sleep tenhours, wake long enough to have a cup of tea, then sleep another six hours. Good think I don't need to consider others.

thanks, Christine - the funny thing is how much the street has NOT changed since 1973 when I took a very similar picture. The only thing lost was the beautiful (but I'm sure inconvenient) cobblestones which were covered over

Heredity (by Thomas Hardy)
I am the family face;
Flesh perishes, I live on,
Projecting trait and trace
Through time to times anon,
And leaping from place to place
Over oblivion.

The years-heired feature that can
In curve and voice and eye
Despise the human span
Of durance -- that is I;
The eternal thing in man,
That heeds no call to die

When our kids were very young, we'd leave my husband and hers to give out candy, and my sister-in-law and I would take the kids to the neighbors, but only on their street, to people we knew. And later there would be a block-BBQ, Imagine going to a strange neighbourhood, and letting your kid accept candy from a stranger.
12:03 pm

5:32 pm
Nancy Boy

it'll happen Pini ;) I've been quite abandoned this evening, that's why I'm being a bit of a drip.
5:33 pm

My son is a huntin' fishin' outdoors sorta guy....

I'm not a hunter, but you know, back in the day, it was hunt or go hungry.
5:42 pm
Pinikula

Me either, molly...but back in the day...
5:42 pm
Soodlebum

As I see it,for a 20 yr old lad to spend the day out in the fresh air, with a dog and some friends,....well, he could be doing a hell of a lot worse.
5:43 pm
Pinikula

exactly!!!
5:43 pm
MollyL

If I had to fend for myself, I would have to live on fish. There is no way I could get game from "shot" to the table. Fish I could handle.
5:44 pm
Soodlebum

Dont tell my son, but I am very happy he has never shot anything. I wouldn't have a clue how to clean, or cook them...
5:45 pm
Trifioso

just noticed, this grid has all the vowels...interesting!
5:45 pm
Soodlebum

how's live with you., Trif?
5:46 pm

In full disclosure, I am anxious about nancy boy. I feel he doesnt like me as he used to, as he is such good friends with JC now, and JC and I have a bad history. Isn't it silly, to be paranoid over relationships in a chog?

Hello Nonnie
5:48 pm
MollyL

Soodle, I have always had very clear cut rules with my kids. Had they decided to hunt, the rule would have been...give me what you got in a cookable fashion and I will prepare it. End of story.
5:48 pm
Pinikula

hi nonnie
5:49 pm
Trifioso

good rule, molly!! and hello and Happy Halloween to you as well, nonnie dear

Is there a way to private message people here? That is a way to clear up misunderstandings without them erupting in the public forum.
5:50 pm

tri, I don't think I've chatted with you since your court date. If you don't mind sharing, how did everything turn out?
5:50 pm
Soodlebum

I also made a rule in this house, that I would feed anything with two legs and no feathers. That exonerated me from the dogs, chickens, ferrets, pigs, turkeys, etc etc...
5:50 pm

Trifioso

It's okay, nonnie. I got a lot less than I asked for, and he had to give me more than he wanted. so I suppose that is as good as divorce can get. There were some loose ends to tie up, and he has let the court ordered dates go right by....I think it's a power ploy. Very annoying, on the whole
5:51 pm
MollyL

Thanks Pini. It's a great way for people to communicate privately and it eliminates the need for email address sharing, which some people are not comfortable with.
5:52 pm
Jillyjill

Jillyjill

5:58 pm
Trifioso

not that as much as she won't see or speak to him AT ALL - that's been an ongoing issue.
5:59 pm
Trifioso

He wanted it written in the divorce language that she must see a therapist. She is livid, but can't really balk too much, being that she is still only 14
5:59 pm
Jillyjill

ahhh, that was it...divorce is so difficult..I lost a stepgrandson that I loved dearly....
5:59 pm
Trifioso

ugh. hate that for you, jilly
5:59 pm

6:20 pm
Bugsaw

I must see the Bumble beagle
6:20 pm
Trifioso

I think that is the very reason primo was so keen to be the one to take tertiare out this year -- he is too old to go, so he brings her out to shill for him
6:20 pm
jmcnrick

brought home 20 lbs of candy
6:20 pm

I tried to avoid buying candy that I actually like this year...can't afford to 'take care of the leftovers'
6:22 pm
Jillyjill

that one took me awhile
6:22 pm
JBV

hi everybody, the pace is slowing here, but we've had large groups of trick or treaters this year. Some cute costumes, but none homemade that I could tell.
6:22 pm
Jillyjill

Hey there JBV!!
6:22 pm
Pinikula

I miss homemade costumes!
6:23 pm
JBV

I predict we'll see some teenagers in the next hour or so
6:23 pm
Pinikula

My girls never had a store-bought...
6:23 pm
Bugsaw

when my kids got too old to go out I let them hand out the candy so they were still involved. I had to watch that they weren't to stingy so they could eat the left overs
6:23 pm
Jillyjill

I really LOVED making my kids theirs
6:23 pm
JBV

me too, Pini - my mother uses to sew up some fabulous costumes for us
6:23 pm
jmcnrick

my boy told me not to buy so much this year
6:23 pm
JBV

I used to make them for my son, too
6:23 pm
jmcnrick

i MADE my boy give out the candy -- I hate doing it
6:23 pm

I love that too jilly. I love, love love sewing
6:23 pm
Pinikula

I drew and handcolored the Queen of Hearts from the deck one year for my oldest dau...
6:24 pm
Jillyjill

My oldest and his buddies did a haunted house thing at our place for several years and I didn't even have to hand out candy...
6:24 pm
Jillyjill

I love creating things without patterns....
6:24 pm
JBV

jmc do you read Zits in the comics? there was a good one today with Jeremy (is that his name?) giving out all the candy to the first kid who rang the bell :)
6:24 pm
JBV

he said he'd rather see one joyously ecstatic kid than a whole neighborhood of disappointed ones (getting tiny helpings)
6:24 pm
jmcnrick

lol i love zits it started about the time my boy turn 13
6:25 pm
Jillyjill

Zits is sooooo my oldest son...looked just like him and even had a chubby best friend
6:25 pm
Pinikula

the 'card' was made from a pillowcase...and it was supported at the shoulder with a clothes hanger to keep it rigid...
6:25 pm
Trifioso

lolol
6:25 pm
Jillyjill

not to mention how very much he was like him; of course my son notes every time Jeremy's mom is me..
6:26 pm
Trifioso

I hate those "fun size" candy bars. They are NOT fun
6:26 pm
JBV

6:26 pm
Jillyjill

6:27 pm

when do they normally start there in the hinterlands?
6:36 pm

I'm guessing in about an hour or so???
6:36 pm

Haint is a word. It's listed at Dictionary.com as a variation of "haven't" and it is listed in other dictionaries as a variation of "haunt". More Enable nonsense.
6:36 pm
Pinikula

5:30?
6:36 pm
jmcnrick

a haint is a ghost
6:36 pm
jmcnrick

that early?

hi molly
6:37 pm
Pinikula

for the real youngin's...a bit later (when it starts getting dark) for the olders
6:38 pm
MollyL

Indeed a haint is a ghost. That's the variation of "haunt". The rules of this place baffle me every day.
6:38 pm
jmcnrick

outie isn't a word? then how do you describe your navel if it is not an innie
6:38 pm
Pinikula

that's Enable for ya! :)

I think it has 2 t's in it: outtie?
6:40 pm
MollyL

Yesterday, "winned" was a word. WINNED. But haint and outie are not. Blasphemy. JMC, my Gram talked about haints too.
6:40 pm
jmcnrick

are they frogs maybe?
6:40 pm
jmcnrick

winned?
6:41 pm
jmcnrick

was there a definition?
6:41 pm
Bugsaw

6:41 pm
MollyL

Some Welsh word about threshing hay. Right.
6:42 pm
kje

ad5?
6:42 pm
jmcnrick

well that kinda makes sense since winnow is about threshing
6:42 pm
jmcnrick

if you have two kinds of deers
6:42 pm
Pinikula

–verb (used with object), winned, win·ning. Scot. and North England .
to dry (hay, wood, etc.) by exposure to air and sun.
6:42 pm
Pinikula

ad5 = euro g'bye
6:42 pm
MollyL

I know, but all I can think of is "I done winned the lottery last night."

I agree about deer. I would love to see someone use deers in a sentence that wouldn't make my High School English teacher retch.
6:44 pm
jmcnrick

what my mother taught me was that if it was all one kind of deer (or fish) it is deer (fish) but if it is more than one kind then is it deers (fishes)
6:45 pm
jmcnrick

my mother was an HS English teacher with a masters in English
6:45 pm
