3:16 am

Haz1558

It's been stormy for a couple of days but thankfully all is calm now.

3:16 am

Haz1558

Some power lines down etc, but all okay here.

3:17 am

ah good, I hope it will calm down here as well. Heavy storm and thunderstorms... good autumn weather.

Hopefully it'll move off soon. We have blue skies this morning.

lol that was simultaneous, Haz

3:25 am

Haz1558

That ending is very useful.

3:29 am

I keep wanting to draw the N and G together for the -ing ending.

3:37 am

Haz1558

She'll be plotting.

3:38 am

Atalante

that would be it

3:38 am

Haz1558

She'll lull you into a false sense of security and then POUNCE.

she never is. If monkeys can write Shakespeare when left alone long enough, cats surely can.

Morning Haz,
Quite a different grid today, fast even with all those t's but have ground to a halt with 9 left.

It's surprisingly fast for a small grid.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I never saw so many t's

4:02 am

FMitch

enjoy it ruby

4:02 am

Atalante

is the 10 related to the 9?

4:03 am

FMitch

no

4:03 am

Atalante

good, didn't think it could be!

4:03 am

Haz1558

In a convoluted kind of way - in terms of meaning rather than in letters used.

4:04 am

FMitch

very tenuous.

4:05 am

Haz1558

But I think you could argue for it in a slightly off-kilter kind of way.

4:06 am

FMitch

in a babble logic way, yes :)

4:06 am

Haz1558

Is she ever going to get it?

4:07 am

Atalante

no lol!

4:07 am

FMitch

we will feel the smugness radiating I would imagine.

4:07 am

Haz1558

Ata, put your glasses on, I think you may be suffering from double vision thanks to all those t letters.

4:07 am

Atalante

I'm never very good at long words!

4:07 am

Haz1558

(If she doesn't get it after all these hints, I'm taking all smug away for a day)

4:08 am

FMitch

unless they are to do with fish or fossils!

4:08 am

Atalante

that's dfferent :)

4:08 am

Do you want the 1st 2 letters?

yes, please!

4:09 am

rubyfoo

close your eyes, ata!

4:09 am

Haz1558

I've given hints with the double vision thing.

4:10 am

rubyfoo

this is much harder than the last few grids!

Hello all

It's not, ruby, it's an easy grid, honestly.

4:11 am

Good evening lynxxx.

4:11 am

Haz1558

Hello, lynxxx.

4:12 am

rubyfoo

hello lynxx

4:13 am

Haz1558

You find us superlatively cross-eyed trying to get Ata to get the 10.

4:14 am

FMitch

... and done. Short but sweet.

4:14 am

Haz1558

Well done, FM.

4:14 am

Atalante

lol, I'm not even really looking for it, just keeping the concept in mind as I look at the grid!

4:14 am

lynxxx

congrats FM

4:14 am

Dindrane

Grats, FM!

4:14 am

Atalante

I think I might need another cup of tea before the 10!

4:15 am

Haz1558

So, I can stop sending mental pictures of children in glasses with patches?

4:15 am

lynxxx

don't know about cross-eyed but you will need to get some of that snake venom stuff for your eyes wrinkles

4:15 am

FMitch

Hi Dind, haven't seen you for ages.

4:15 am

Atalante

well it might help ....

4:15 am

FMitch

Haz, behave and stop teasing Ata.

4:16 am

lynxxx

hi Dindrane

4:16 am

Dindrane

Howdy!

4:16 am

Haz1558

I'm hoping that ruby might get the hints as well...

4:16 am

rubyfoo

hello dindrane; I've never seen you before

4:16 am

Dindrane

I'm often here, but I usually don't have anything useful to say. :p

4:17 am

lynxxx

weren't those eye patches to correct 'lazy' eyes?

4:17 am

Haz1558

Gosh, if we need to say something useful, we'd all be struck dumb.

4:17 am

FMitch

lol neither do we so do feel free to join in :)

4:17 am

lynxxx

pppfffttt and we do Dindrane?

4:17 am

Haz1558

Yes, lynxxx, but sometimes a lazy eye went along with having a you know what.

4:18 am

lynxxx

ohhhh

4:19 am

Haz1558

I had to wear glasses as a child to correct a slight lazy eye and a you know what. I was very diligent, did the exercises and it did get corrected. We used to laugh when we went to the eye hospital for check ups. You'd see mothers reaching into handbags, thrusting glasses at children and saying 'Here, put them on.' They must have thought the doctors were fools not to know that they hadn't been doing what they were told.

4:20 am

Haz1558

But I never had to wear a patch, just the glasses.

4:21 am

lynxxx

Is it the same regimen nowadays? though I don't remember seeing any eye patches lately

4:21 am

Haz1558

I didn't have to wear glasses for years, but am back to needing them for reading. People don't print books nearly clearly enough.

4:21 am

Haz1558

I don't know, lynxxx, I agree that I haven't seen many patched children for years.

4:22 am

Dindrane

I agree, Haz... seems like the cheap paper they use blurs the ink or something.

4:22 am

FMitch

lol

4:22 am

Atalante

the standard of printing has really gone downhill obviously

4:22 am

Haz1558

You're right, Dindrane. And those phone directories? Lethal.

4:22 am

lynxxx

nothing to do with being over 40 or anything....

4:23 am

Haz1558

Nothing, lynxx, nothing although the optician did murmur something about age. Cheek!

4:23 am

FMitch

or labels on jars/tins/packets at the supermarket!

4:23 am

Dindrane

I really need an H in this grid...

4:23 am

Haz1558

You need a very long arm for reading packet instructions.

4:24 am

4:25 am

I was trying to read something printed the other day, v. small font on dark grey and navy blue backgrounds - I was sq***ing like crazy but it was useless

4:25 am

Haz1558

Anybody else strangling an imaginary Ata?

4:25 am

Atalante

*grin*

4:26 am

FMitch

phew now I tell my little tale - when I was a child our next door neighbour had a Siamese cat called sq5y 'cos he was cross eyed.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

husband does the food shopping and refuses to wear reading glasses, ergo, frequently past-due dates.....

4:26 am

Haz1558

Some web pages are hard with fancy colours that 'dance'.

4:26 am

FMitch

I don't believe Ata I think she is fibbing.

4:26 am

rubyfoo

however, I don't say anything, as it's better than doing it myself or, worse, accompanying him

4:27 am

Haz1558

Good job it wasn't a Siamese person otherwise you'd be had up in front of the PC police.

4:27 am

Atalante

*gasp*

4:28 am

FMitch

said cat also loved grapes but they had to be peeled.

4:28 am

Haz1558

That was either a fussy cat or a mad owner.

4:28 am

rubyfoo

I feel the same way about grapes; the skin is icky

4:28 am

FMitch

a great combo of both Haz.

4:28 am

Atalante

good job it wasn't a dog

4:28 am

rubyfoo

was probably a cat in a former life.....

Never let mad owners near the internet. It's a surefire way of getting them to panic and ring the vet at midnight.

4:30 am

FMitch

I feel a vet story coming on?

4:30 am

Atalante

"Help! My hamster is sneezing!"

4:30 am

rubyfoo

see you later, 67 words, "saving the rest", hahah

4:31 am

rubyfoo

my snake won't eat!

4:31 am

FMitch

well that is better than "Freddy Starr ate my hamster"

4:31 am

FMitch

Bye ruby

4:31 am

rubyfoo

answer: maybe you should peel his grapes"

4:31 am

Haz1558

Cat owner worried that cat has been sick. Cat owner goes on internet, sees that lilies are poisonous, recalls having lilies in the house a week ago - therefore my cat has been poisoned, can I make an appointment for 3.am?

4:32 am

rubyfoo

is that when you load the rifle, haz?

4:32 am

FMitch

3.a.m! good grief.

4:32 am

Haz1558

Owner reassured that the cat is not poisoned, owner still consults internet and even though cat is not being as sick as before insists that cat is seen again because the internet knows best.

4:32 am

Atalante

lily poison takes less than a week to work!

4:32 am

Haz1558

I gently dissuaded the owner from thinking that you could have an appointment at 3 am.

4:33 am

Haz1558

Owner distraught even though cat is getting better because internet says that lilies are poisonous.

4:33 am

FMitch

How diplomatic of you Haz

4:33 am

Dindrane

At least she wasn't blaming *you* for her cat being sick and was ready to take responsibility... (looking for bright side)

4:34 am

lynxxx

Did you not tell her that the afterhours rate is 250 pounds?

4:34 am

Atalante

urf, I'm going back to bed for an hour. I'm absolutely exhausted for some reason!

4:34 am

Haz1558

She was a nice enough girl, just not to be persuaded that the cat had a tummy upset rather than a dose of poison.

4:35 am

FMitch

It was all that effort looking for the 10 Ata ;)

4:35 am

lynxxx

Bye Ata

4:35 am

rubyfoo

it's the transitional (awful) weather, ata

4:35 am

Haz1558

It's worn her out. Bye Ata!

4:35 am

FMitch

and I am going to go and run errands as it is NOT raining!!! yay!

4:35 am

rubyfoo

4:36 am

Atalante

and not sleeping very well last night .... and physio yesterday ...!

4:36 am

Atalante

bbl!

4:36 am

Haz1558

It's a nice day here as well, FM. Comparatively, of course, it's got a bit colder but at least we won't get blown to the next county.

4:37 am

Dindrane

I'm off to try sleep again too! I have a teleconference in 4 hours where I have to be able to remember my own language.

4:37 am

Dindrane

Luck, all!

4:37 am

FMitch

well I wouldn't go as far as nice but the wind and rain have gone for now.

Bye Dind, see you again.

4:37 am

Haz1558

Bye, Dindrane - you were as useful as any of us!

4:37 am

lynxxx

bye Dindrane

4:37 am

Dindrane

Aww, thanks, Haz!

4:38 am

FMitch

Toodles all.

4:38 am

lynxxx

BBL too, need to eat

4:38 am

Haz1558

Bye, FM, and I'm off as well. Things to do, houses to clean....

rubyfoo

hello for a minute

7:07 am

rubyfoo

my friend and I are trying to figure out where "cookies" would be in French as she knows how to elim

7:07 am

rubyfoo

mmyto eliminate them from Windows, if we could find them

7:08 am

FMitch

What browser do you use ruby?

7:09 am

dfmchfhf

ruby, what browser?

7:09 am

rubyfoo

I think it's internet explorer, but I am a total compute illiterate

7:09 am

72 Temple Owl

hi fm!

7:10 am

rubyfoo

my friend thinks it's "options"

7:10 am

FMitch

Go to Tools and then Internet options

7:10 am

Anniebrook

welcome to the club, ruby! You and I!

7:10 am

FMitch

Hey TO :)

7:10 am

rubyfoo

but we can't find anything and it's all in French

7:10 am

rubyfoo

7:10 am

hello everyone this beautiful morning

7:10 am

72 Temple Owl

hi annie

7:11 am

FMitch

Hi Annie! and dfmc

7:11 am

Anniebrook

HI Owl, still cleaning?

7:11 am

Mom

Good morning everyone!

7:12 am

Anniebrook

Hi FM, did it stop galing where you are, or galeing or is it even a word?

7:12 am

Anniebrook

(((Mom)) good morning

7:12 am

FMitch

Hi Mom.
It finally blew itself out last night thank goodness.

7:12 am

Mom

(((Annie)) good morning, and it is a beautiful day indeed

7:12 am

Mom

Hi FMitch

7:14 am

72 Temple Owl

well annie...let's say i got up early to sort through my papers

7:14 am

72 Temple Owl

hello mom!

7:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

Are any of you statistic/probability experts?

7:14 am

Mom

((TO)) good morning

7:14 am

FMitch

... and then got sidetracked by the grid?

7:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

What are the chances that a random grid would come up with 25 of the same letter?

7:14 am

Kaplan the Magne

Or only vowels?

7:15 am

Anniebrook

Who gave Dr_G the leftover T's?

7:15 am

Kaplan the Magne

I was once playing scrabble with a friend named Deborah, and the first letters I randomly picked were- in this order-D-E-B-O-R-H-A

7:16 am

Kaplan the Magne

Is it possible to have a grid with NO words over 3 letters AT ALL?

7:16 am

dfmchfhf

Depends on how the grid is actually generated...

7:16 am

rubyfoo

I think we got rid of the cookies!

7:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

Just wondering. Don't mind me.

7:17 am

FMitch

I don't think so Kap, Dr_G has set some parameters.

7:17 am

MollyL

That is wild about your Scrabble letters. No clue on the odds of a random grid being all the same letter.

7:17 am

Kaplan the Magne

You mean there is intelligent desigh?

7:17 am

FMitch

Did you eat them all instead ruby ;)

7:17 am

rubyfoo

I think that is spooky, your deborah story. Like a ouija board

7:18 am

MollyL

Six T's is pretty lame though.

7:18 am

rubyfoo

hahah, fm

7:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, it was REALLY weird.

7:18 am

rubyfoo

I made crepes this AM for crepes suzettes after dinner

7:18 am

FMitch

But we do get a lot of use out of them all Molly.

7:18 am

MollyL

*Hurrying over to Ruby's house*

7:18 am

Kaplan the Magne

Especially as I chose them one by one and just watched it come together as her name

7:19 am

FMitch

yum yum ruby!

7:19 am

Kaplan the Magne

Is the 10 a compound word?

7:21 am

rubyfoo

poor carlee; unfortunately, it is in here often!

7:21 am

MollyL

Yep Carlee. And another crude t4 as well.

7:21 am

carleekat

there is a 10????

7:21 am

MollyL

The ten is not a compound

7:21 am

rubyfoo

no, kalan, the superlative of an sq6

7:21 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, one.

7:21 am

rubyfoo

kaplan, that it*

7:23 am

rubyfoo

how are you doing?

7:23 am

MollyL

Carlee, just be glad that ti6 isn't in the grid. I hate that one even more than ti4.

7:23 am

Trifioso

I over did it a bit yesterday ruby, so a few sore muscles here and **ooof** there, but other than that, just fine

7:24 am

Anniebrook

Hi Trif

7:24 am

rubyfoo

I don't like either one but in lexulous, there are worse!!!!

7:24 am

Trifioso

how are you doing, rubty? and hello annie!

7:24 am

rubyfoo

plus racist perjoratives

7:24 am

Trifioso

LOL when I first typed that, I left off the O in hello---ooops!

7:24 am

rubyfoo

it is definitely November, my least favorite month

7:25 am

Trifioso

why don't you like november, ruby?

7:25 am

Kaplan the Magne

I HATE November of all the months!

7:25 am

FMitch

'cos the clocks go back, it's cold and grey and all you want to do is hibernate.

7:25 am

rubyfoo

worst weather, no leaves, cold and rain but no pretty snow and MUD!

7:25 am

Trifioso

is it because of thanksgiving.....

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

It gets darker and darker, my birthday is on Thanksgiving, there's nothing pretty...

7:26 am

FMitch

and Hi Trif!

7:26 am

rubyfoo

thank you Kaplan!!!!

7:26 am

Trifioso

but the clocks going back gives an extra hour of sleep = yay!

7:26 am

rubyfoo

7:26 am

Anniebrook

why do you hate November, Kap and ruby?

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

I agree with ruby 100%

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

See below.

7:26 am

rubyfoo

andThanksgiving is no longer fun

7:26 am

Kaplan the Magne

November has nothing to recommend it.

7:26 am

rubyfoo

except Kaplan's birthday!

7:26 am

Trifioso

oh, c'est dommage, ruby! here in boston november is SO beautiful! Foliage is gorgeous, weather is crisp but not cold yet, and turkey....plus the extra hour of sleep.

7:27 am

carleekat

ok...so...all ur clues are going in the eyes and out the...something or other...not able to focus..period...need more coffee

7:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

I'm in Boston. Foliage is gone.

7:27 am

rubyfoo

(btw, husband's family name was Kaplan before he changed it! hahah)

7:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

And it's been cold.

7:27 am

carleekat

i hate fall and winter....fall is the messenger...i believe in shooting the messenger

7:27 am

rubyfoo

foliage all came down in the past week. Before that, it was gorgeous

7:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

It's my husband's family name. I never use it except here and on wordsplay.

7:27 am

Trifioso

we still have some here on the south shore, and there are lovely animals all around due to rutting season and such. I don't love winter, but I really do love fall

7:28 am

rubyfoo

and with 2 dogs, the battle against muddy footprints is endless

7:28 am

FMitch

get them some doggie wellingtons :)

7:28 am

Kaplan the Magne

If there's anything I can't stand, it's an autumnal optimist. :)

7:28 am

rubyfoo

amen, carlee, I'm loading my gun

7:29 am

rubyfoo

at least winter holds the promise of spring and once it gets cold and IF there is snow, there is less mud from the pups

7:29 am

Trifioso

I never really thought about it, but in thinking now, I am thinking March is my least favorite. winter has just gotten too long by then, and the days are bitter, everything is grey and dead, going anyway is a sludge, and there is nothing to be excited about. Primo's birthday, but that's it

7:30 am

carleekat

i like st patricks day....all that green...like the precursor to spring...and u get that odd day that smells like spring...

7:30 am

rubyfoo

when I lived in Binghamton NY, March was the murder and mayhem month. That was the time for murdering one's spouse or commiting suicide.

7:30 am

rubyfoo

here, by March, flowers start and spring is very long

7:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

But March is on the upswing- it's getting lighter, there are buds on the trees, on some days you can smell spring, and you know there is just not that much snow left to dump on us...

7:31 am

carleekat

i hate january...u take down the xmas tree....days are still short...xmas bills....

7:31 am

Trifioso

I am not surprised ruby. all those months cooped up. we all look pasty and undead in march

7:31 am

Kaplan the Magne

If March is here, can spring be far behind? The worst behind us, and all that...

7:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

In November it's just getting started.

7:32 am

rubyfoo

and Binghamton had the worst weather imaginable -- barely a day of sunshine from Sept through Sept. Two seasons, snow and gnats

7:32 am

Trifioso

Yes, there is that, kaplan, but it's a long month and can sometimes just seem so endless

7:32 am

carleekat

exactly...the home stretch...now i have 5 months of winter to look forward to

7:32 am

Anniebrook

ruby, you made me laugh..my daughter went to SUNY Binghamton and I never experienced cold like that.

7:32 am

Kaplan the Magne

Scraping ice of the car, frozen locks, missing gloves, wind chill, black ice, unshoveled sidewalks...

7:32 am

Trifioso

well, yes. there is the tiniest bit of hope in march, I suppose. I am not good at waiting, so I dread march

7:33 am

rubyfoo

I forgot about frozen locks, used to have to have somebody tie the car door shut when I went to work

7:33 am

MollyL

I am NOT a cool/cold weather lover either. What's to like about short, cold days?

7:33 am

Trifioso

november for me has a lot of anticipation in it, and I do like that. when will it snow? here comes christmas! Thanksgiving! yay!

7:33 am

carleekat

slush i ur boots...salt on ur car...salt in ur boots... high heating bills...all those layers....idiot snow drivers

7:33 am

Kaplan the Magne

Speaking of March, I gotta go. Bye!

7:33 am

rubyfoo

Your daughter went to that SUNY Annie? In what years. My first husband taught history there

7:33 am

carleekat

byebye kaps

7:33 am

Trifioso

bye kaplan. have a nice, warm day

7:33 am

rubyfoo

bye Kaplan

7:34 am

MollyL

I used to enjoy the holidays when I was a kid and all I had to do was show up for presents and dinner.

7:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

(poof)

7:34 am

rubyfoo

and did I mention mud?

7:34 am

MollyL

And frickin' freezing rain.

7:34 am

Anniebrook

ruby, trying to figure it out..will ask her later...had to be in the 80's thought

7:35 am

rubyfoo

I lived in Binghamton for many years, both married to first husband and then after

7:35 am

Trifioso

all the things that bother me about nature are gone in november - skeeters, snakes, blackflies, midges, hornets, all tucked away for winter

7:35 am

rubyfoo

I stayed there until 1080

7:35 am

rubyfoo

that was 1980* or so

7:36 am

MollyL

Ruby, I was going to say...I didn't know you were an ancient. : D

7:36 am

Anniebrook

ruby, I think she graduated in 1989 or 1990..have to ask

7:36 am

rubyfoo

it was a good, safe place for a single mom to bring up her boy

7:36 am

Anniebrook

I agree with Trif re: November..

7:36 am

rubyfoo

I surely look like one.....

7:36 am

Anniebrook

ruby, did you teach at Binghamton?

7:37 am

rubyfoo

no, I taught art in the Binghamton City Schools

7:37 am

Trifioso

that battle of hastings must have been tough, ruby

7:37 am

rubyfoo

Sally-catlover

Hi everyone. Grid and chat running very slow. Has someone got an over-large icon in their profile? That usually causes a problem.

9:57 am

rubyfoo

very slow, especially in grid. I thought it was my server

9:58 am

rubyfoo

I never change my icon

9:58 am

rubyfoo

how are you, sally?

Sally-catlover

Ok. Having a quiet day and haven't been here long.

9:59 am

rubyfoo

allo molly

10:00 am

Sally-catlover

Sort of Molly, but if someone puts a huge one on without bothering to compress it or size it to something sensible, it slows down everything. If I find it I usually just ad-block that image (using Firefox).

10:49 am

we are going to have a hard winter, at least they are predicting one -- but so far mostly mild, if a bit wetter than normal. I really want to get some work done in the yard this coming week in between the things for the dumb master's program

10:49 am

crosshair

i shall call you when we get 4 feet of it nb

10:49 am

10:51 am

crosshair

i live in collingwood(blue mtn skiing) and my station is in wasaga beach(summer beach people)

10:52 am

autumn moon

after living in Ottawa for 4 of their worst winters, I decided that, after not being able to lift the shovel high enough to get the snow on the top of the pile, that it was a swear word

10:52 am

crosshair

we are toronto,s playground/dumping ground :/ it is a love/hate thing

10:52 am

stidmama

makes sense to me, autumn

10:53 am

stidmama

so. that O in the upper left corner please, the T above the A in the fourth column?

10:53 am

MollyL

I agree with Autumn. Snow is a four-letter word. Nasty cold stuff.

10:54 am

crosshair

lol,when we cannot lift the shovel high enough,that when you break out the snow blower and launch it over the top;)

10:54 am

crosshair

gets piled so high at intersections,you have to flash your lights and honk your horn cause you just cannot see

10:54 am

autumn moon

cross - had to look it up on google maps. Thought I recalled Wasaga Beach. My ex's brother has a cottage there... or at least he did in the late 80's

10:55 am

10:56 am

11:03 am

crosshair

i am just a softy

11:03 am

Nancy Boy

lol Eva, you don't wanna see pictures of Frank and I together ;) he's gorgeous but can we take a picture together...not on yer life.

11:03 am

EvaNadine

i still wanna see, jesse!

11:04 am

Nancy Boy

hmmm, maybe when you're older ;)

11:04 am

stidmama

hm. gorgeous but doesn't show up in pics... *wonders if Frank and Nancy Boy have been to Forks, Washington*

11:04 am

crosshair

speaking of my beloved flower,i best get her up as her melodious snoring is about to peel the paint from the walls...lol back in a sec

11:04 am

EvaNadine

chris is so very handsome, but he hates the way he looks in photos. he is way over-conscious about the weight he has gained in the face over the years.
he ends up making what i call "the chris face" -- which is kinda cute + funny in person, but ruins every photo he takes...

11:04 am

stidmama

rofl cross!

11:04 am

stidmama

and I should head out too --

11:05 am

stidmama

ah I know how he feels, EvaN! tell him he just looks "mature" -- and point out all the handsome men in the world whose faces have changed in the same way over time.

11:05 am

Nancy Boy

Frank just makes the, "you're taking a PHOTO?" face - he just seems to raise his eyebrows until I lower the camera. The quickest way to start a fight ;)

11:06 am

stidmama

*sending lapel button spy camera for Nancy Boy* we want PICS!

11:07 am

EvaNadine

chris actually asked if we had to have a photographer at the wedding.
he was even more put out when his mother bought disposable cameras for the tables.

11:07 am

EvaNadine

he hasnt looked at a single photo yet.

11:07 am

stidmama

oh man, that's too bad. but not everyone is as happy in front of a camera as you are!

11:08 am

EvaNadine

oh, i dont always love the camera. we just have opposite mentalities.
he thinks "i hate how i look in photos, so dont take any."
i figure, "i usually take bad photos, so take TONS -- that way we will get a few good ones!"

11:09 am

stidmama

ah. that's a good approach. and much more realistic!

11:09 am

Nancy Boy

that's how I feel. It's so difficult to get just one good shot!

11:09 am

EvaNadine

anywho, this gal *points thumbs to self* needs to get some lunch before our all-hands meeting this afternoon...

11:09 am

stidmama

so. I am leaving a few (17) to finish later. thanks for everyone for being here -- and EvaN, I am so very pleased for both of you. Camera-shy or not, he looks fine! and so do you.

11:10 am

Sadly, there are a lot of troubled kids out there these days.

3 times already? No wonder you people call it "Fall" lol

12:21 pm

we would be lost without our seasons,even though we may grumble at times

12:21 pm

KayteeJay

Yes, it must be odd not to have seasons. We don't often have snow, but we definitely have winter!

12:22 pm

Winter is the only one I would get rid of. I see no purpose for it.

poor molly,where would we all be without our yearly migration of ski bunnies?

12:22 pm

KayteeJay

I love winter. Cooler days, but still plenty of sunshine. And bitterly cold nights, even below zero sometimes

12:23 pm

MollyL

I can't use "love" and "bitterly cold" in the same sentence. Cross, I'll leave the ski bunnies to you.

12:23 pm

crosshair

in jan-feb,we often get below minus 20

12:23 pm

KayteeJay

Celsius?

12:24 pm

crosshair

yup

12:24 pm

crosshair

last year we had 3 days at -30

12:24 pm

KayteeJay

eeek

12:24 pm

crosshair

but it changes,we are warmer than we were and witer ends earlier

12:25 pm

MollyL

See, I can't get all jazzed about weather that can kill you.

12:25 pm

KayteeJay

Then again, your homes are all air-conditioned, aren't they? Out here, only the very rich have such luxuries

12:25 pm

crosshair

i have no air conditioning

12:25 pm

crosshair

hydro is too expensive

12:25 pm

KayteeJay

Seriously, Crossy? How do you survive minus 30 then?

12:25 pm

crosshair

and the real hot times are only for a few weeks

12:26 pm

crosshair

lol,for minus 30 we add heat,not air conditioning

12:26 pm

KayteeJay

Yes, when I visited Canada the hot day was a week before I got there

12:26 pm

carleekat

hi all

12:27 pm

KayteeJay

To me, a comfortable temperature is one that requires long sleeves

12:27 pm

crosshair

howdy carlee

12:27 pm

KayteeJay

Hi carlee

12:27 pm

carleekat

ugh...my hydro bill was 600+ for 2 months and i dont have ac

12:27 pm

crosshair

ouch

12:27 pm

KayteeJay

What's hydro?

12:27 pm

carleekat

( mind that water too...but...again....not watering lawn)

12:27 pm

carleekat

electric

12:27 pm

crosshair

are you using the enegry bulbs carlee and have the hot water tank wrapped?

12:27 pm

crosshair

electricity

12:28 pm

carleekat

yeap and yeap

12:28 pm

KayteeJay

So Niagara really is a source of power?

12:28 pm

carleekat

our municipal water is insane here..delievery for my mom was 180.00 her usage of water was 11.36

12:28 pm

crosshair

HYDROelectricity

12:28 pm

Soodlebum

Hello and Happy Friday all... :-)

12:28 pm

KayteeJay

Happy Friday to you too, Soodlebum

12:28 pm

crosshair

that is high carlee

12:29 pm

crosshair

howdy soodles

12:29 pm

carleekat

historically here in ont our power came from niagara falls...so was a hydroelecric plant....many of our elecrical companies are still called hydro

12:29 pm

carleekat

holy crap YES kay

12:29 pm

MollyL

Hi Soodle. Kaytee, I know it is hard to understand the Canadian language. I only get it because I was married to one. Hydro...hee!

12:29 pm

KayteeJay

I don't think any of our rivers are big enough to be a decent source of hydro

12:31 pm

Soodlebum

I live in one of the windiest, wettest countries on the planet - yet none of it's power is harnassed...... Sheesh!

12:31 pm

carleekat

u want to talk odd language talk to an aussie

12:31 pm

sammysmom

wow carleekat.... and i am bichin because my water bill is averaging 100.00 a month.. we also pay a sewer bill here in my county which is equal to approx. 1/3 of the water bill

12:31 pm

KayteeJay

lol @ Molly - I have to think twice to follow American too

12:31 pm

crosshair

many of our smaller towns still have their local hydro building that were used when demand was new

12:31 pm

MollyL

I have always found it strange that Ireland has not found a way to harness the power of all that water.

12:32 pm

carleekat

we have sewer and environmental on ours too

12:32 pm

carleekat

we have wind turbines turning up all over place and we currently have largest solar farm in world here

12:32 pm

KayteeJay

Well, if you want to talk about wasted opportunity, it's weird that solar power isn't the norm here - it should be readily available

12:32 pm

MollyL

Kay, just be glad they are not laying it on thick...Like "three or four clicks up the route to Timmy's, get me a coffee, right some, eh? You hoser."

12:33 pm

sammysmom

we also have rubbish collection charge and a "service charge" and who knows what the hell that means

12:33 pm

KayteeJay

lmao ... Molly, I'll keep quiet (didn't understand any of that beyond the clicks)

12:33 pm

MollyL

Carlee, I speak a bit of Australianese. : D

12:34 pm

carleekat

that molls is either someone from the prairies...or... an east coaster....

12:34 pm

carleekat

we would say where i am from..." five mins up the road to grab a tim's"

12:34 pm

KayteeJay

I think 'clicks' is airline-speak .. well, my ex used to use that expression - for kilometres, I think

12:35 pm

carleekat

there would be no right som....

12:35 pm

MollyL

All I know is that between the Canadian speak and the French speak it took me months to be able to understand my husband when we first met.

12:35 pm

carleekat

clicks is kms yes

12:35 pm

carleekat

i absolutely refuse to let the word "eh" pass my lips i hate it

12:36 pm

KayteeJay

Molly - I never did understand my husband, even without a language difference. No prizes for guessing why I've been single for so long now, lol

12:37 pm

MollyL

Ah, the male/female inability to understand each other is definitely not based on language alone.

12:38 pm

KayteeJay

I'm confused - what gender is the little grey icon?

12:39 pm

MollyL

I am ever grateful for my education in all things Canadian. Especially Blue Rodeo.

12:39 pm

KayteeJay

What's Blue Rodeo?

12:40 pm

MollyL

It's a band Katy. The grey icon is genderless.

12:40 pm

KayteeJay

Best thing I discovered in Canada was praline ice cream - pretty much the only edible thing I found, lol

12:40 pm

KayteeJay

Canada has produced some incredible musicians

12:41 pm

rubyfoo

gd evening everybody

12:41 pm

KayteeJay

hi ruby

12:42 pm

Krysten

i kinda like Canadian cooking...since I do it so regularly!

12:42 pm

carleekat

the only edible thing in canada was ice cream?????

12:42 pm

MollyL

And what Canadian goodies do you rustle up Krysten?

12:43 pm

MollyL

Hey Ruby!

12:43 pm

KayteeJay

Krysten, we were stuck in a hotel for 6 weeks, so the food was rather much the same all the time. Spent one evening with a local family and the lady of the house cooked up half a dozen different veg just to satisfy my craving!

12:43 pm

carleekat

butter tarts....

12:44 pm

Krysten

lol...buttertarts and double doubles!

12:44 pm

KayteeJay

She also gave me a recipe for the most fantastic cheese cake I've ever tasted. Ingredients are a bit pricey to make it very often though

12:44 pm

Krysten

fish n' brews

12:44 pm

MollyL

Butter tarts are poser pecan pies. : P

12:45 pm

Krysten

Food here is pretty much the same anywhere these days...totally dependant on the individuals.

12:45 pm

KayteeJay

pecan pie .. yummy

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

hello kayteeJay. That looks like an SA flag. I used to go to PE regularly on biz trips and loved the country!

12:45 pm

Krysten

butter tarts don't need to have pecans...i love raisin and plain

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

since we have a houseguest, I made crepes suzettes for deseret.

12:45 pm

MollyL

Carlee, this will horrify you. You can't get Coffee Krisps in the US.

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

desert*

12:45 pm

KayteeJay

Now I'm getting hungry and the kids have gone to a friend to eat tonight so I'm not going to get dinner :(

12:46 pm

Krysten

this week alone I made spaghetti, and chicken curry, squash soup, reuben sandwiches

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

coffee crisps sound like something I would love

12:46 pm

KayteeJay

what on earth are reuben sandwiches?

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

where are you krysten? Twell me and I'm on my way!

12:46 pm

Krysten

tonight, it'll be sushi on the menu

12:46 pm

helensgirlkid

Buttertarts are soggy pecan pies without the pecans!

12:46 pm

rubyfoo

corned beef, sauerkraut, rye bread

12:46 pm

Krysten

smoked meat with swiss cheese and saurkraut on rye bread

12:46 pm

KayteeJay

lmao @ helensgirlkid

12:47 pm

MollyL

And thousand island dressing on the Reuben

12:47 pm

KayteeJay

I'll give that a miss .. can't stand sauerkraut

12:47 pm

helensgirlkid

Ah, Reubens - submarine bun with corned beef, big pile sliced thin, sauerkraut, and swiss cheese

12:47 pm

Krysten

never had pecan pie before

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

aaah, I forgot that, molly

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

love pecan pie

12:47 pm

Krysten

molly, i'd skip the dressing but have hot mustard

12:47 pm

MollyL

See Katy, they can't even say "corned beef". It's "smoked meat". Hee hee hee!

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

how about with pastrami?

12:48 pm

helensgirlkid

Must admit - most commerciall pecan pie is as soggy as commercial buttertarts - and I DO NOT MAKE PIE an more!

12:48 pm

Krysten

are you kidding?? newfies eat a ton of corned beef!

12:48 pm

Krysten

are you kidding?? newfies eat a ton of corned beef!

12:48 pm

rubyfoo

you can't get decent corned beef here or bagels or pita.... :(

12:48 pm

KayteeJay

lol @ Molly .. corned beef is supposed to be boiled, not smoked

12:48 pm

Krysten

Montreal smoked meat is totally different!

12:48 pm

helensgirlkid

Pastrami is good, to, but it's probably not a Rueben any more.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

I miss those things and decent rye bread......

12:49 pm

MollyL

I have actually made montreal smoked meat. No easy feat.

12:49 pm

rubyfoo

22 words left, but little hope of finishing

12:50 pm

crosshair

mmm corned beef on light rye.....

12:50 pm

rubyfoo

12:50 pm

crosshair

dimmflemyer (sp) do the best rye bread

12:50 pm

crosshair

((ruby)

12:51 pm

helensgirlkid

Almost as good as bacon, crossey?

12:51 pm

Krysten

should make a boiled dinner some night soon...weather's cool enough for it

12:51 pm

crosshair

almost...not quite

12:51 pm

rubyfoo

love New England boiled dinner but can't get decent corned beef for it and the canned stuff here disintegrates

12:52 pm

rubyfoo

but the crepes suzettes were delish

12:52 pm

Krysten

i use cottage roll...have to boil the salt out of it but it's awesome with potatoes, cabbage, and carrots

12:53 pm

KayteeJay

Maybe I should go make myself a slice of toast, you lot are making my tummy grumble

12:54 pm

Rachway

hello all could I have a clue for the 9 and 10 please :)

12:54 pm

Krysten

I love to cook for people but haven't had a dinner party in a long time...feeling the need to invite people over

12:55 pm

Krysten

Rachway, I have the sq10 - more of the sq6

12:55 pm

rubyfoo

that's what usually happens, but tonight I ate myself silly!

2:00 pm

Jellen

I'm fine...just playing cards...

2:00 pm

Jellen

How are you?

2:01 pm

stidmama

I am well. was going to "work" today gathering potential sources for my master's project, but I think that I will instead take another "easy" day just getting a little more order in my life.

2:01 pm

stidmama

tonight the younger stidkid has the opening night of the play he is in, so we will go to that, also.

2:02 pm

Jellen

Cool!

2:02 pm

Jellen

I cleared off two chairs in the living room so I can sit down, lol...

2:03 pm

garyandjulie

sounds like a great evening stid, enjoy :o)

2:03 pm

stidmama

yep. he is pretty excited. LAST sunday the boys first orchestra concert of the year went well -- the new bass trombone was so nice!

2:03 pm

stidmama

good for you jellen! I cleared off one chair so I could babble... *sigh* I have a HUGE pile of semi-sorted papers on a folding table now.

2:04 pm

stidmama

down to 11, it's slow going now, isn't it?

2:05 pm

stidmama

thanks gary/julie! how are you these days?

2:05 pm

stidmama

love the pic of you on the beach!

2:06 pm

garyandjulie

im great thanks jellen :o)

2:06 pm

garyandjulie

thanks thats me and my youngest, he is 8 now and i am in disbelief he got so big so fast lol

2:06 pm

stidmama

ten... *trudge trudge*

2:07 pm

stidmama

why does the choclit always run out before the tea?

2:07 pm

garyandjulie

im down to 18 and might leave them and come back later eyes getting tired

2:07 pm

Jellen

hmmm....

2:07 pm

stidmama

yes, they do seem to sprout up overnight, don't they?

2:07 pm

garyandjulie

you can have mine stid, I can't eat it

2:08 pm

garyandjulie

my eldest complaining she's 21 next year. she must think i am ancient

2:08 pm

stidmama

mmmmm. *snags choclit* why can't?

2:08 pm

garyandjulie

gives me migraines, so does red wine

2:09 pm

garyandjulie

only choccy i can eat is the dark dark stuff and its not right for snacking on somehow

2:09 pm

stidmama

oh! LOL that seems like so long ago to me... let's see. when I was 21, women were wearing WIDE shoulder pads like the women in the Dallas TV series....

2:10 pm

stidmama

oh, that's too bad. I am glad choclit doesn't give me migraines -- but I can only eat the really dark stuff because I am allergic to cow. so no more "milk" choclit for me

2:10 pm

Jellen

Or the Dallas linebackers...

2:10 pm

MollyL

Shoulder pads are from hell. I'm so glad they went away.

2:10 pm

garyandjulie

I remember those, i was 21 early 90's and pregnant with eldest son

2:11 pm

garyandjulie

don't forget the big permed hair to go with it and the ankle breaking heels!

2:11 pm

MollyL

Yes Jellen. The linebacker thing is why they are from hell.

2:11 pm

stidmama

:-D I KNEW it! OF course, I have very wide shoulders anyway. I used to take the pads out so the jackets and shirts fit... then they eliminated the pads entirely and I had to buy a bigger size top to fit the shoulders.

2:12 pm

stidmama

yep. the hair was pretty amazing too -- I didn't do that, but a lot of my friends did

2:12 pm

garyandjulie

i am a hairdresser amount of hairspray needed was probably why we have ozone problem

2:13 pm

stidmama

oh man! you must have breathed in a LOT of that.

2:13 pm

stidmama

*yuck face* I don't like the smell of hairspray

2:14 pm

amelu0218

I hated the shoulder pads, too... one day I wore a sweater to work that had shoulder pads and they were making me crazy and I cut them out and stuffed them in my bra... LOL!

2:14 pm

stidmama

*grin* yet another useful fashion hint from amelu!

2:14 pm

garyandjulie

tell me about it, one of those things you get used to

2:14 pm

garyandjulie

lol amelu love it!

2:14 pm

amelu0218

LOL! I literally turned a few heads that day... *halo*

2:15 pm

stidmama

rofl

2:16 pm

stidmama

hmph. stuck on TEN to go.

2:16 pm

garyandjulie

actually that reminds me thoe other week i was round a friends. Asked her where she had taken shoulder pads out of. She told me they werent shoulder pads they were inserts for her 13 yr olds bra she had confiscated lol

2:16 pm

stidmama

ah. NINE.

2:16 pm

stidmama

ooof. *SO glad I don't have girl children*

2:17 pm

garyandjulie

yay stid

2:17 pm

amelu0218

*Amen to that, stid!*

2:17 pm

garyandjulie

I have one, more trouble than both boys put together. BUT is also my best friend now

2:17 pm

stidmama

this is the one who thinks she is old, yes?

2:18 pm

garyandjulie

thats the one. IS reason i have grey hair lol

2:19 pm

stidmama

*wise nod* yes, I keep noticing "yet another" gray hair. Have decided to stop pulling them out in order to not go bald... just wish they were not "wild" and sticking out in odd directions.

2:19 pm

garyandjulie

at 14 i almost was ready to put tracking chip in her and lock her up. but forced her to spend day with me shopping and she finally realised i was an ok person not just a mum

2:20 pm

garyandjulie

Stid, that's the reason i just cut my hair short again. the greys were making me look a bit wild and they are wavy unlike rest of hair

2:21 pm

stidmama

I will cut my hair short either just before or soon after I finish student teaching in the spring. My last "grow out" I think -- I donate the hair, but it's so hard to justify taking all that time every day to put it up.

2:22 pm

stidmama

I am half thinking "before" but then I will need to schedule hairdresser time to keep it out of my eyes.

2:22 pm

garyandjulie

that was one of my problems. youngest has cerebral palsy and takes so much time in morning. so less time spent on me is a bonus

2:23 pm

garyandjulie

yes got to see what those kids are up to ;o)

2:23 pm

stidmama

((julie)) my elder has mild CP (very mild) it is time consuming, even so.

2:24 pm

garyandjulie

lukes is mild but he has loose hand muscles and tight leg muscles so we have exercises and i have to help him dress etc. but happy to do it. thanks stid ((hugs))

2:24 pm

stidmama

or rather, it was when he was little and we had to go to therapy sessions weekly

2:25 pm

garyandjulie

we have physio, occupational therapist both on the go atm never ending

2:25 pm

stidmama

now that he is essentially an adult he doesn't have therapy any more and manages pretty well

2:25 pm

garyandjulie

how is it now? do you still have check ups etc?

2:26 pm

stidmama

yep. well eventually he will reach an age where he can be responsible (maybe) for his own at-home practice time and such.

2:26 pm

garyandjulie

great to hear :o)

2:26 pm

stidmama

not a lot of follow-up now, though I know that in later years the peculiar ga4 and posture will mean joint and arthritic problems

2:27 pm

stidmama

we are trying to pull other things together though since "brain damage" seemingly always affects more than one part of the brain. There are so many late-emerging issues *sigh*

2:27 pm

garyandjulie

Luke will need ops on both legs in future or his hips and spine will be damaged. But will cross that bridge when we get to it. he's pain free atm luckily

2:27 pm

garyandjulie

so it's ongoing worries?

2:28 pm

garyandjulie

we had an mri in may. luckily nothing really bad there.

2:28 pm

stidmama

yep. small things, but they all add up to make me concerned about his future.

2:29 pm

garyandjulie

thats what us mums do though, worry and be there for it all. A hard road but we will get them through it

2:29 pm

stidmama

I think he has so many talents and strengths, but they tend to be hidden by the "little things" that get in the way. Not sure how it will work when he is in "the real world" (not school) and accomodations are more difficult to explain and access.

2:29 pm

stidmama

thanks julie, that's my plan -- one issue, one day, one task at a time.

2:30 pm

garyandjulie

only way to take it all, or it's to much to handle. great way of dealing with it

2:30 pm

stidmama

yep.

2:31 pm

stidmama

jellen disappeared...

2:31 pm

garyandjulie

I will be back later got to go read the hobbit with son. you have a great night tonight

2:31 pm

garyandjulie

lost in grid i bet ;o)

2:31 pm

stidmama

enjoy, julie! ((hugs))

2:31 pm

garyandjulie

MollyL

NB, ain't is slang for aren't. It isn't made up of any real words.

i think it's "am not", but because the m/n collision doesn't allow natural pronunciation, it just becomes "ain't"

Jellen

Yes, I finished early this afternoon...

5:21 pm

Nef

5:22 pm

Nef

MP, we went to Applebees last night for that

5:22 pm

Jellen

I woke up strangely early this morning...

5:22 pm

MPittore

5:22 pm

Nef

how early, Jellen?

5:23 pm

Jellen

7 am...

5:23 pm

Jellen

Strangely early for me, I should say...lol

5:24 pm

MPittore

nef...we went to applebees for lunch and outback for the onion and iced tea all free...all that required is a veteran that once wrote a blank check to the service for anything up to and including his life so that we can be free...pretty nice that they are acknowledging our vets

5:24 pm

speedfreak

5:25 pm

Nef

oh, man! it was my day off; but we had a computer glitch at work; so i got up at 5:30 to be there because the geek squad was going to be there between 7:30 and noon. they got ther at 11:45; so dh and i missed our 1pm and 2pm acupuncture appts.

5:26 pm

speedfreak

thanks so much Jellen

5:26 pm

Jellen

Oh, how annoying, Nef!

5:27 pm

Jillyjill

bummer nef...

5:27 pm

MPittore

nef...so no poking today!

5:27 pm

Nef

that's so nice to know, MP. As I told my dtr. last night; you wouldn't have seen anything like this 10 years ago!

5:29 pm

MPittore

yes I wish my dad were still alive he would have gotten a bick kick out of this....he was a three wars vet...now he holds a place of honor at arlington cemetary overlooking all of wash. dc...

5:29 pm

Nef

yeah; I was a little put out by the fact that I had to be there so early and they came at the last minute. But at least the problem is solved; so (HOPEFULLY!!!) clinic will go smoothly from now on

5:29 pm

MPittore

nef...are you all the pokers or the pokees???

5:29 pm

Nef

Wow, MP! Do you have any of his stories?

5:30 pm

MPittore

excuse my typos...must need nourishment LOL

5:31 pm

Nef

MP, I'm the nurse manager for a small prenatal clinic. I'm getting acupuncture for a pulled groin muscle that keeps spasming, DH is trying it for his spacticity

5:33 pm

MPittore

yes nef...my dad was full of wonderfulness in many ways...a kind of modern day mark twain...everyone who met him loved him...I was a lucky kid...we were close and we were a great communication family...he wrote a column in a local paper...previously he did standup comedy in the service and he and my mom played an organ and sang at many functions...my own private george and gracie!

5:34 pm

Nef

Such great memories, MP! You should write them down for your kids!

5:35 pm

MPittore

I've never had accupunct. but I wouldn't hessitate...ancient asian culture is full of wisdoms!

5:37 pm

MPittore

Good idea nef...my son was devasted when his grandpa died...my dad taught him to sail a boat and many things, even fishing...my son treasures my dads handmade fishing pole...you have inspired me to do that for my son and my son's children...three grandchildren. I am blessed and richer than I could have ever imagined...

5:39 pm

Nef

I've had it for various muscle spasms and such for about 5-6 years. DH had been to a lecture about it while my back was spasmed out (back when I was working in ICU). He signed me up for it; and made me go. I don't do well with pain meds (too sensitive for most); and have always been afraid of chiropractic; but I'd been taught pressure points by a physical therapist years ago. I figured that the worst that could happen with the accupuncture would be a minor skin infection; but everything is sterile...

5:39 pm

MPittore

I have been putting together our family tree so this would be a nice ancillary piece for the family!

5:41 pm

Nef

it really would, MP. I used to tell my kids "Fritz stories" about a neighbor boy when we were growing up; and they still talk about how Fritz did this or that to us when we were young! (Fritz was like a big brother to us; he died in Viet Nam and received the Navy Cross

5:41 pm

MPittore

I did have chiropractic...was afraid so researched the doctor and his technique and by george it fixed me right up...felt great after the first treatment but went a few more times to make sure things stayed fixed...and they did!

5:42 pm

MPittore

Wow...I am a Navy brat too...they gave my family a wonderful life!

5:44 pm

MPittore

My mom at 83 still benefits from his service...they are terrific!

5:44 pm

Nef

one of my first adult patients in nursing school had been paralized years before by a quack chiro "doctor"; so that is why they scare me. I'm sure that it doesn't happen now; but I'm still chicken

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

well...if no one needs clues I may depart here soon.. ;)

5:46 pm

MPittore

well back to the grid to finish my 10...later

5:46 pm

Nef

down to 29 now, Jilly; and haven't listed yet. You can always join the chat! ;-)

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, I know Nef....could throw my hat into the "I like chiropractors" ring...have had many positive treatments over the years

5:49 pm

Nef

My DH and daughter both have had good success with it. We have a chiropractor that offers his services free to our pregnant women; it's just *me* that is afraid of it!

5:50 pm

Nef

grandson is up!

5:50 pm

Jillyjill

I started with a good friend whom I trusted...was REALLY hard...it was my neck and I had the same experience with a patient early in my career
