Blwyddyn Newydd Dda - Bonne Annee
2:25 am
rubyfoo
Welsh is always astonishing!
2:26 am
Glantarell
allegedly the oldest language in europe
2:26 am
Glantarell
people think we have no vowelsbut we have 7 as opposed to the 5 in English
2:26 am
rubyfoo
I didn't know that. French is so VERY derivative! You can see pieces of everything in it
2:27 am
Glantarell
well half of English is french - the normans brought it over when they came!
2:27 am
rubyfoo
what's fun is to look for Arabic or Norse words in everyday usage....
2:28 am
Glantarell
i wouldn;t recognise them if i saw them LOL
2:28 am
rubyfoo
sure you would: maelstrom, assassin, hashish
2:29 am
Glantarell
guessing maelstrom is norse and hasish is arabic - what about assassin? probably arabic
2:30 am
rubyfoo
yup. But it's early and I'm still a little foggy
2:30 am
Glantarell
there are several latin words in welsh - and they are the names of the things the romans brought when they invaded - indow, bridge and few other things
2:30 am
Glantarell
window even
2:30 am
rubyfoo
do you know any latin?
2:30 am
rubyfoo
maybe an indow has no glass....
2:31 am
Glantarell
i did latin at school 40 years ago but don;t remember much
2:31 am
Glantarell
lots of elsh indows had no glass LOL
2:32 am
Glantarell
but when the romans arrived the people living in wales lived in roundhouses made from wattle and daub with tall thatched rooves, and wondows were a new concept - with or without glass! In fact, rooms with corners were a new concept too...
2:32 am
rubyfoo
this is a tiny grid, already have 44 words but need more vowels to find others
2:33 am
Glantarell
i only have 37, am trying to work out 4th d

2:34 am
Glantarell
my SIL is german and my whole family riginates in liverpool!
2:35 am

I've only been there twice but found it lovely and green
2:35 am

Glantarell
wales is a very beautiful country, especially if you get off the tourist trail
2:36 am
Glantarell
no liverpool itself
2:39 am
rubyfoo
my only d is de4/5
2:39 am
Glantarell
i have 2 d4/5 and the plural f ne f them is de5/12
2:40 am
Glantarell
one is an insect repellent
2:40 am
Glantarell
the other is what you get if you hit a piece of metal with a hammer
2:40 am
rubyfoo
ty, forgot that one
2:41 am
rubyfoo
I thought I had that, but sidn't
2:41 am
Glantarell
i keep seeing a phantom delete
2:41 am
rubyfoo
d's dead!
2:42 am
Glantarell
so what's the one I'm missing?
2:42 am
rubyfoo
de4/5 remove in editors' talk
2:42 am
rubyfoo
like your phantome
2:43 am
Glantarell
not getting it
2:44 am
rubyfoo
leave off the last two letters
2:44 am
Glantarell
d is dead...
2:47 am
rubyfoo
s's slain!
2:48 am
rubyfoo
I NEVER get fireworks!
2:48 am
Glantarell
i usually get half way but have only been doing it 2-3 days a week for a couple of months
2:49 am
rubyfoo
I do it every day (no life, perhaps?), but half is my goal. In a year, I've had fireworks about 3 times
2:49 am

2:55 am
FMitch
wtg ruby! see I know you can do it.
2:55 am
rubyfoo
that is a lot of tough driving in fog! I couldn't do it
2:56 am
Glantarell
it was horrible because it was at night
2:56 am
Glantarell
but i stayed off the motorway and took the country road so less traffic to worry about
2:57 am
Glantarell
i did end up with a longer drive thought because i missed a turning as everything looks different in fog
2:57 am
FMitch

I think some animals have more nervous natures than others, that might be part of it. And some may have had a very bad experience. But also the way they were raised, I think. Our dog used to look at us when there was a hard noise. If we did not react, he went back to what he was doing. Maybe if you give him attention then, he learns to think something is wrong.

6:12 am
sprite
he actually did! It isn't fully finished yet, but it looks like a living room again. We had a nice evening :)
6:12 am
FMitch
oh good, was picturing you seeing the new year in with a paint brush in hand *grin*
6:14 am
FMitch
I am flitting in and out of the chat today but did want to wish you and the family all the best for the new year. Enjoy the grid and see you soon.
6:14 am
sprite
I fled, to tell you the truth. I stared at the room and then at him with HUGE eyes, then turned around and went back to my computer. Could hear him laughing all the way up, lol.
Physically I cannot help, and with all the firework noise all day my ptsd had me in a constant state of panic. So I wasn't much use to anyone.
6:15 am
FMitch
((sprite))
6:17 am
sprite
nah I did well. Haven't lost myself to the panic at all, which is really good. Just kept saying to myself: yes it is loud noise. And yes, your panic hormones react automatically. But this too, shall pass!
6:18 am
sprite
*giggles* Of course, now we should decide whether talking to oneself is crazy or not...
6:18 am
FMitch
12 months ago I don't think you would have said that.
LOL it is when youstart arguing with yourself you have to watch out.
6:19 am
sprite
oh no, 12 months back I had a full day lost in panic! So yes, I did well.
*note to self: stop arguing with me!*
6:20 am
sprite
how was your evening, FM?
6:21 am
FMitch
I happily slept through all the fireworks and bell ringing. HAve had so many incredible New YEars Eves not worried about missing the odd one or two these days.
6:23 am
sprite
how lovely :)
I know that when our kids will be living on their own, my love and I will probably go to bed earlier as well.
6:23 am
FMitch

6:24 am

Ata had an early night too (she was on line this a.m too).
6:24 am

thanks, FM! Going from day to day often makes me blind to that, thanks for reminding me.
6:25 am

*sends Ata hugs*
Very smart thing to do. She needs the sleep anyway and she doesn't need the chilly atmosphere ;)
6:26 am

6:26 am

6:26 am

She was on her way back from visiting her Gran and dropped by on the off chance I was in. :)

Your'e welcome. Not every word is up there, because you can see the b there. But most are.
3:56 pm
Mark Jones
Now I must leave everyone for dinner. Before I go, does anyone want a clue?
3:56 pm
Soodlebum
So, how is the weather in Arizona, Christa? And, where in the world are you, Mark?
3:56 pm

tonight will be the third one for freezing... other than that wonderful... 60's

Jeepers, this weather is totally freaky.

Whenever my bio shows up with my picture Soodle, you will see that i come from and live in the Andromeda galaxy...lol

I have much enjoyed your "words for women to live by" soodlebum
3:58 pm
Soodlebum
LOL Mark. I come in peace!!
3:59 pm
Soodlebum
I'm glad you like my words of wisdom, Christa. I try to live my life by them......
3:59 pm
Mark Jones
Well, I can't exactly come to earth. I am a little too far away. Like, 300,000 light years.
4:00 pm
Soodlebum
I understand fully Mark. Sometimes I feel like I am on another planet as well. LMAO!
4:01 pm
Soodlebum
Golly, before I knew it I am down to 8 left. This must be an omen for 2011!
4:02 pm
Mark Jones
Anyway, now I must go. It is time for a dinner the world has never seen before. One from Andromeda. Have you heard of this exotic food? "A cheeseburger". Outlandish, right? Anyway, I will see everyone tomorrow.
4:02 pm
Soodlebum
Enjoy your galactic cheeseburger, Mark, and may the force be with you!
4:03 pm

9:15 pm
Pinikula
www.spokeo.com = enter your name (if you live in the USA)...your name, address, phone number, home value, relationship(s), etc., will appear...
9:15 pm

...to remove yourself from this service simply copy the URL and click the "private" button in the bottom righthand corner and paste the URL back in where indicated.
9:17 pm
Pinikula
will post this same info in my profile for those interested in it and/or referring to others...
9:19 pm
EvaNadine
pini -- be careful with that. the info they post is info that is already public (in phonebooks and such) and by signing up with their site (which you have to do in order to remove yourself from it) you will just verify your email address -- and who knows what they will do with that.
9:20 pm

My information is not posted in phonebooks tho...

Good evening to my fellow babblers! How is everyone?
