Pinikula

* giggle * good point!

12:22 am

I know you had a flood..didn't hear how you discovered it

12:23 am

Pinikula

westford

it will still be there when you get back..don't over do it

12:24 am

westford

Yes, I knew that..just wondered what you said when you saw it

12:24 am

westford

I'm assuming you came home from work and found the mess

12:24 am

flosey

ty Pini

12:24 am

Pinikula

Oh...when i got home from work, I saw water running out from under both my garage doors down the driveway...

12:24 am

westford

oh my. I would have kept going

12:24 am

Pinikula

...went inside, sloshing through the kitchen, and opened the garage door; walked into Old Faithful!

12:25 am

flosey

ah, that was the last straw with my washer Pini, bit of water, not flood, but that was enough

12:25 am

flosey

oh Pini, how horrible

12:25 am

mrpresident

happy late flip all :)

12:25 am

flosey

hi mrp

12:25 am

westford

hi mrp

12:25 am

Pinikula

but the new floors were put in yesterday, so that's done...

12:26 am

Pinikula

hi mrp

12:26 am

flosey

hope the insurance covered it all

12:26 am

mrpresident

hi girls! :)) **hugs**

12:26 am

Pinikula

...tomorrow, they put my fridge back in the kitchen and the furniture comes back from the storage unit (the "pod" in my driveway)

12:26 am

Pinikula

thankfully it is, flosey!

12:26 am

westford

those pods are great

12:27 am

mrpresident

pini! did you have a flood?

12:27 am

westford

my husband always tells me not to run the dw when we go out..but I do

12:27 am

Pinikula

...and as a result of concern raised when i compared the flooring sample to online samples, I've corrected the mfr's samples that are displayed by their retailers

12:27 am

flosey

I don't run anything when we're out

12:28 am

Pinikula

I did, mrp...washer hose broke, flooded the kitchen and dining room (and the garage)

12:28 am

cybernan

nbt, but a long ways from nbs

12:28 am

westford

wtg nan !!

12:28 am

mrpresident

ditto flosey... i don't run anything if I am out...

12:29 am

Pinikula

I've learned to turn the washer spigots off when not in use...this had better not happen again!

12:29 am

mrpresident

so sorry it did that!! nasty washer!! naughty washer...!

12:29 am

Pinikula

well done, nan ;)

12:29 am

westford

good you got the prices fixed pini

12:30 am

cybernan

still need a 7 and the 9

12:30 am

Pinikula

not only the price, west, but the mfr has to correct the samples held by the retailers...something like 400 of them!

12:30 am

mrpresident

is a significant undertaking to fix up... better to turn them off... yes pini!

12:30 am

Pinikula

me, too, nan ;)

12:30 am

flosey

do you want them nan?

12:30 am

Pinikula

diz said there's a br9 tho...haven't found it

12:30 am

westford

I'm glad you called them on it pini

12:31 am

flosey

it's a strange word, for me anyway

12:31 am

cybernan

yes -- I saw that pini -- haven't found it either.

12:31 am

Pinikula

the good thing that came out of it is that I've got the laminate floors I've wanted for years

12:31 am

cybernan

call letters for a 7, please flosey?

12:31 am

mrpresident

br9 is an extention of the br4... little one in french??

12:31 am

flosey

tr7/28

12:31 am

mrpresident

bl7 ??

12:32 am

mrpresident

ey 7

12:32 am

flosey

thanks mrp, got it

12:32 am

mrpresident

un + re5 for a un7

12:32 am

mrpresident

un + tr5 for a un7

12:33 am

Pinikula

thx, west...me, too...I provided my floor rep with paperwork to show my concern in the cross listings; he ordered the Mt. Vernon, but when it arrived it was the "darker" version; the online sample of the Mt Vernon was shown as the "lighter" of the two...he sent it back and had them overnight the right one...so now I have "Shaker Cherry" (the RIGHT color) and really like it :)

12:33 am

mrpresident

br7 sounds like a very long preparing desert

12:33 am

mrpresident

dessert even!

12:34 am

mrpresident

this just isn't an easy grid! but enjoyable so far

12:34 am

westford

we have dark wood in our kitchen and tv room love it too

12:35 am

Pinikula

If my ceilings were taller I might have gone with the dark, but went with the lighter...the baseboard really brings out the darker grain, yet the lightness works great in the rooms ;)

12:36 am

mrpresident

i luv cedar

12:36 am

Pinikula

cedar smells good ;)

12:36 am

Pinikula

in non-lethal doses, of course! lOL

12:37 am

mrpresident

our ceilings are over 15 metres!

12:37 am

Pinikula

15 meters...ho4 cow!!! Mine are all of 8 feet

12:37 am

cybernan

I assume you mean creme brulee, but don't see it!

12:37 am

mrpresident

in places anyway... kitchen ceiling is about 9 metres

12:38 am

Pinikula

that's what I was thinking, too, nan...but still not getting it either

12:38 am

jillibus

I thought that too, nan

12:38 am

mrpresident

indeed nan... alt spelling with high value letter

12:38 am

Pinikula

the br9 uses the V?

12:38 am

cosdem

got the 9 finally

12:38 am

cosdem

no pini

12:39 am

cosdem

its a br4 and 9 combo

12:39 am

mrpresident

no, it uses usual letters

12:39 am

Pinikula

sorry...you said high til4...the V is the highest

12:39 am

mrpresident

if you have the br4 before it, you just add the 'little' french to it

12:40 am

mrpresident

hi tile in the br7

12:40 am

jillibus

little in french is petit imho

12:40 am

mrpresident

1:11 am

FishFishGarden

Scottish remedy...does nothing for the pain, just gets you nicely drunk!

1:11 am

jillibus

I guess I'd better find a "Western" icon. I spent too much time at jigidi...

1:11 am

westford

sounds good fish lol

1:12 am

jillibus

my goodness, granny! So fish -- did you recognise the br7 word I struggle with and found the def for?

1:12 am

grannyrose

1:15 am

FishFishGarden

I know the word, just not seen it spelled that way before - it took my a while to get it

1:16 am

FishFishGarden

although tbh...I don't think I've ever seen it written down before!

1:17 am

grannyrose

brb, time for another hot salt mouth rinse...yuk, yuk, yuk, *spit, spit*

1:18 am

FishFishGarden

I'm telling you Gran, whisky...it has the same antiseptic effect and no need to spit!

1:45 am

1:46 am

joansiebone

2:14 am

flosey

is it a long drawn out procedure?

2:15 am

rururocks

oh.. I can dig up a recipe for you.. yes.. it is a lot of work.. lots of blending in the cuisinart

2:15 am

flosey

2:16 am

flosey

if you put it in your bio, I'll check

2:19 am

rururocks

its great with brioche toast slices and cheeses

2:19 am

flosey

super, she's been trying out many new breads

2:20 am

rururocks

the only problem with Muscovey (sp?) duck is that it can be a bit tough.. but not in a terrine I'll bet

2:21 am

flosey

ah, because it is wild I suppose?

I made Foie Gras a month ago with a huckleberry/sauterne sauce and brioche toast

2:22 am

flosey

sounds great

2:22 am

rururocks

not sure flosey.. I think there are tricks to cooking it tender... I can ask chef friends of mine too

2:23 am

flosey

at any rate, am sure we could order other duck here on the island

2:24 am

rururocks

yes..I'll bet you can

2:24 am

rururocks

do you have a terrine dish ?

2:25 am

flosey

no

2:25 am

rururocks

oh.. how many people will be eating this?

2:25 am

flosey

but would improvise - if it turns out to be popular, then I'd buy one

2:26 am

flosey

a small loaf pan and a weight for the top?

2:28 am

flosey

no idea, daughter often has 'open house' dinner every Tuesday night, just asks friends to let her know who and how many are coming

2:29 am

flosey

I've been over when they've had these, they have a great group of friends

2:29 am

flosey

does the amount turn out to be quite big?

2:31 am

rururocks

this recipe is for 10 or so

2:31 am

rururocks

it's very rich and you can slice it or spread it

2:31 am

flosey

ok, sounds good

2:33 am

rururocks

I put it in the middle of a larger platter with Endive leaves, raspberries and sprigs of marjoram for color

2:34 am

rururocks

I'll get to work on that tomorrow for you

2:34 am

rururocks

I better head to bed

2:34 am

flosey

super, when you have a few minutes to spare, I'll just watch your bio for it

2:35 am

flosey

and thanks so much for taking this time

2:35 am

rururocks

no problem.. I have it on file.. I have played around with it and made it better each time.

2:36 am

flosey

wonderful, anxious now to try it

2:38 am

flosey

I'd better head to bed now too, 23 to go for tomorrow

2:38 am

rururocks

2:39 am

7:11 am

uusue2

hi, carlee!

7:12 am

jmcnrick

hi carlee how did the oatmeal turn out

7:12 am

uusue2

perhaps we are sluggish due to the heat...

7:12 am

Uneaixoise

my thoughts exactly!! LOL

7:13 am

uusue2

I was going to turn off my air conditioning last night when it got to be cooler outside than inside, but it never did, 79 outside now :-(

7:13 am

jmcnrick

i was sleeping in because my cat decided at 3 am i should not be allowed to sleep for about 3 hours

7:13 am

carleekat

its ok... i am loking for breakfast foods that last in your system..as ramadan is coming up and i will be invited for a few ifars...( i always am...cus of the ladies i work with at the dinners)..the days i am invited..i fast...

7:13 am

jmcnrick

79 is cool! lol

7:13 am

Uneaixoise

forecast here for next three days: 98 98 98 plus very high humidity . . .

7:13 am

carleekat

i had my windows open all night..is 84 in here

7:13 am

jmcnrick

well that is very nice of you carlee

7:14 am

carleekat

tomorrow is supposed to be 45C

7:14 am

carleekat

anyway..this oatmeal u make with milk and brown sugar and an egg whisked in...

7:14 am

jmcnrick

today will be 95 but this weekend it is suppose to hit triple digits

7:14 am

carleekat

( I am not sure how i will survive this heat..no ac and 17 hours of NOTHING by mouth )

7:14 am

jmcnrick

while it is cooking?

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

my daughter and her boyfriend HAVE AC but don't use it because they're so damn crunchy!

7:15 am

carleekat

yes...u simmer milk, brown sugar and egg ....add your oatmeal as normal...

7:15 am

jmcnrick

i always thought ramadan was tough in the summer months

7:15 am

jmcnrick

crunchy??

7:15 am

jmcnrick

sounds tasty carlee

7:15 am

Uneaixoise

major tree huggers :-)

7:16 am

jmcnrick

remember you can drink water all day even though you are fasting carlee

7:16 am

jmcnrick

oh of course like granola

7:16 am

Uneaixoise

yup

7:16 am

carleekat

at least in the middle east...sun up and sun down..are..essentially the same year round... 6 am to 6 pm...frig here....fajr will be 4 am ( so you stop eating / drinking prior to fajr...) and magrib is 9 :30...u break your fast after magrib

7:16 am

uusue2

une, I turned my ac on for the first time yesterday, finally had too much! will need it today too but hopefully then will be able to turn it back off

7:17 am

carleekat

no jmc...NOTHING by mouth....no brush the teeth..no breath mint..NOTHING passes your lips in those hours

7:17 am

jmcnrick

*gets carlee a big jug of water*

7:17 am

jmcnrick

odd all of my muslim friends drink water

7:17 am

carleekat

u do not get angry..you do not have impure thought... all of this is part of the fast...

7:18 am

Uneaixoise

sue, here in Nashville, if I didn't have my AC on all the time, everything in my house would be mildewed!

7:18 am

carleekat

none of mine do exceot those who work construction in the heat all day

7:19 am

carleekat

my friend's daughter fasted fro first time last year...and she made comment..." water has a smell"

7:20 am

jmcnrick

well yes, water does have a smell--even when it doesn't have a lot of chemicals

7:21 am

carleekat

anyway..the oatmeal was ok..but if more "filling" question is...you are not comsuming as much of the grain...with the low GI...so..am not sure if will last in my system....this..is the question..

7:21 am

jmcnrick

well this grid appears to be a B%&^$

7:21 am

carleekat

she had just never noticed it before..as she had gone all day without it

7:21 am

carleekat

its..twisty...yes jmc

7:22 am

uusue2

the egg should help, carlee, i think protein takes a long time to digest

7:22 am

carleekat

i know i have 5 iftars already to attend...so that 5 days of fasting...

7:23 am

uusue2

good thing you don't live any further north, carlee!

7:23 am

carleekat

am even considering fasting the entire month..just to see if i can do it...and i know the days when i have done so in the past....i feel..somehow...closer to the spiritual side of things...

7:24 am

carleekat

yeesh..could u imagine....summer solstice...in alaska or yellowknife

7:24 am

carleekat

now..winter solstice... NO problem ;)

7:25 am

uusue2

are there concessions made for those who live above the arctic circle? Or has that just not been an issue?

7:25 am

carleekat

you observe the times for closest city that does have defined day and night..OR...you observe the times for mekkah

7:26 am

jmcnrick

the concessions i know about are for children and pregnant or nursing women or the ill and infirm

7:26 am

uusue2

ah - i would choose mekkah, I think!!

7:27 am

jmcnrick

you can also eat if you are traveling but then you have to make up the days

7:27 am

carleekat

so..i would think..in summer...u would observe times for nearest city ( as Ramadan supposed to test your faith etc ).and in winter when only have hour maybe of daylight ish ness... you would observe times for mekkah

7:27 am

carleekat

and travelling... and women who are menstruating do not fast....you make those days up throughout the following year

7:28 am

jmcnrick

since the muslims i know who generally traveling when i see them maybe that is why they drank water as a mini fast

7:28 am

jmcnrick

*know are generally

7:29 am

carleekat

probably jmc.... when typically you not even allowed to brush your teeth throughout the day... i can't imagine...being allowed to drink water

7:29 am

carleekat

no smoking... no biting nails...

7:29 am

jmcnrick

well i admire the dicipline

7:30 am

carleekat

if u are on meds that require food..of course...u do not fast...

7:30 am

carleekat

diabetics....of course..do not fast...

7:31 am

carleekat

so..anyway..hence my attempt with this alternate way of making oatmeal

7:31 am

jmcnrick

wd carlee

7:33 am

jmcnrick

hah! found un6!

7:33 am

carleekat

( actually the fasting is not that hard..i often have days i forget to eat....so once i remember...another hour or 2 doesnt kill you...its the coffee...today is my last day with no coffee....as the cold turkey and unable to take tylenol for the headache...would ruin the dinner experience)

7:33 am

carleekat

clue jmc?

7:33 am

jmcnrick

carlee you can buy caffeine soap

7:34 am

jmcnrick

lynxxx thinks that i can be a little un6/30 in the chog when i start dancing without my clothes

7:34 am

carleekat

its ok...no coffee wont kill me... i do this every year...to avoid the pain...

7:35 am

carleekat

thanks jmc....( throwing my clothes away and dancing a nekid jig myself )

7:35 am

uusue2

ok, time for my pitiful little bit of exercise...

7:35 am

jmcnrick

wise choice carlee

7:36 am

jmcnrick

yw! *joins the nekkid jig*

7:36 am

jmcnrick

i exercise tues and thurs or it eats up too much time

7:36 am

carleekat

( oh man..i pity the newcomer this am )

7:36 am

jmcnrick

i guess in 11 days i will have more time to exercise

7:37 am

jmcnrick

*giggle*

7:37 am

carleekat

ramadan and nekkid dancing... somehow i am not sure the 2 meld very well

7:37 am

jmcnrick

speaking of which did giggly come back?

7:37 am

jmcnrick

well i think you could do nekkid dancing when you are done fasting for the day

7:38 am

carleekat

there is that ;)

7:38 am

uusue2

won't be walking to and from work today as the kid has to go to the lawyer at 2 (deposition of the GF) - I think it will be more stressful than he is anticipating

7:38 am

carleekat

she may request he not be in the room

7:39 am

carleekat

and glue his mouth shit ;)

7:39 am

carleekat

shut* i mean..oops

7:39 am

carleekat

typo of the worst kind...

7:39 am

jmcnrick

tell him to play games on his blackberry

7:39 am

uusue2

he won't be, but it will still be stressful - they will be coming out to tell him what she said and getting his version

7:39 am

jmcnrick

HAHAHA carlee what a slip

7:40 am

uusue2

and this whole thing has been shit from start to end so don't mind the typo :-)

7:40 am

jmcnrick

well you will be with him--he will be okay

7:40 am

carleekat

yea....get him playing soduko on his bberry

7:40 am

uusue2

that is my thinking, jmc, and we have droids rather than blackberries - even better games :-)

7:41 am

carleekat

ramadan, nekkid dancing and foul language... what has the chog come to??( I blame the heat )

7:41 am

uusue2

definitely the heat :-) we are never like this otherwise

7:42 am

carleekat

NEVER <fingers crossed behind back> ( well..not all of this together... )

9:23 am

doxy1lover

bless you for the sneeze

9:24 am

hurshy

lol, thanks

9:27 am

MollyL

I am confused by definitions sometimes. I don't think of br4 as meaning fast, although I guess others do.

9:27 am

doxy1lover

it means vigor, vivacity

9:27 am

doxy1lover

I had to look it up

9:28 am

doseffing

... I always associated it with a bubbly Italian softdrink ... ... so when OSD said "lively" I bought into it

9:30 am

MollyL

Vivacious, bubbly, those are the definitions I think of for that word.

9:30 am

doxy1lover

my 2 phantoms: toilet and nurture

9:30 am

hurshy

me too on the first one.

9:31 am

doxy1lover

both

9:31 am

doxy1lover

sorry

9:31 am

hurshy

whoopsie

9:31 am

MollyL

Potty training! Nurturing the use of the toilet. : D

9:31 am

doxy1lover

9:33 am

Good Enough

i believe i am intimidated by vowels. i am finding this grid difficult

9:34 am

Good Enough

if a group of vowels came up to me on the street i think i would run away

9:35 am

doxy1lover

ty geek

9:35 am

doseffing

... I might duck into a doorway and watch them suspiciously ... but I don't know if I'd run away ... ... but every day when the "ee" words appear ... I swear that tomorrow I'll get them without waiting for the list ... haven't succeeded yet ..

9:36 am

doxy1lover

I have 2 "ee" words

9:36 am

MollyL

Yes, the usual suspects.

9:37 am

Good Enough

you are right dose. maybe i would just tu4 my back

9:37 am

doseffing

... got 3 eventually ... yes ... the usual ones

9:40 am

doxy1lover

halfway. Need to get ready for work. Have a good day all.

9:40 am

flosey

good morning everyone

9:42 am

Good Enough

nbt, that ru6 stumped me for a bit

9:42 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for tu7 please?

9:43 am

MollyL

tu + consonant + woman's name

9:43 am

flosey

thanks Molly

9:44 am

MollyL

My search for the ru6 was fu6 for a while. : )

9:45 am

flosey

that pointed me in the right direction for the next 2 words, thanks again

9:52 am

bichon

br fast?

9:53 am

doseffing

... the group preferred "lively" to fast for the br4

9:54 am

flosey

br - vigor, vivacity

9:58 am

jmcnrick

hi all

9:59 am

flosey

hi jmc

10:04 am

jmcnrick

boy i am not getting the br clues -- i have cheese, englishman, and dry champagne

10:05 am

flosey

don't throw me into the br5 patch

10:06 am

flosey

and add sometimes vowel to that

10:06 am

doseffing

... br5 ... a patch of prickly weeds .. or the Canadian Curling Championship

10:06 am

doseffing

br6 ... adjective describing br5

10:06 am

jmcnrick

got the br5 and 6 now and another br4

10:07 am

jmcnrick

ty both

10:07 am

flosey

add another vowel to the champagne

10:07 am

flosey

before final cons.

10:07 am

flosey

yw

10:07 am

jmcnrick

dose your icon is so dark i can't see it

10:08 am

flosey

same birst 3 letters for the 6 + what you buy before building on it

10:08 am

flosey

**first

10:08 am

doseffing

... yeah ... it's a photograph of a stage setting that my daughter did for a play called never swim alone that got all kinds of awards ... so I'm excessively proud of it ...

10:09 am

MollyL

Aw, that's great Dose. Good for your girl!

10:09 am

jmcnrick

what i can see looks interesting--good for her

10:09 am

flosey

proud indeed dose, good for her

10:12 am

doseffing

... yeah but now she's trying to do all that stuff professionally ... and it's tough ... ... when the mayor of Toronto gets around to cutting all the arts funding out of the city budget next month ... my guess is she gets her name into the papers for shouting him down at a city council meeting ... and then she runs for office and makes full use of her poli sci minor at university

10:12 am

flosey

does anyone have a clue for et6 please?

10:12 am

jmcnrick

haha that is one way to support the arts!

10:12 am

doseffing

... it's the french for "star" ...

10:13 am

jmcnrick

ty does

10:13 am

jmcnrick

*dose

10:15 am

flosey

thanks dose, and wow, your daughter sounds like she has what it takes, more power to her

10:18 am

doseffing

... I'm sure she does ... but it's tougher on kids now than it has been since the 30s ... I find it terrifying how many are graduating to unpaid internships ... ... she just quit the position she had at a large arts festival for two years ... to take up a lower paying "internship" with a theatre and dance company that would provide her with better experience ...

10:19 am

doseffing

... the job interview was to write the grant request to get funding from the federal government to pay for the position ... ... she got it ... ... but how she pays her rent I haven't figured out yet ...

10:20 am

flosey

wow, that's a tough industry, good luck to her

10:21 am

jmcnrick

yeah few of my sons friends have jobs and since his unpaid internship that was suppose to become a paid position June 6 folded he decided to drive across country

10:21 am

jmcnrick

but the good news is that it looks like he will come back to a roommate for his house

10:22 am

doseffing

... good news for you ... or good news for him?

10:26 am

jmcnrick

both of us. I want him to have enough money to live on and do not want the source to be me

10:27 am

doseffing

... that is my hope too ... ... one more kid to go ...

10:30 am

uusue2

hi again, all!

10:30 am

uusue2

I should be working but here I am...

10:33 am

jmcnrick

work?

10:33 am

uusue2

what a concept...

10:33 am

jmcnrick

i need to spend sometime today finding a new computer :-(

10:34 am

uusue2

oh, I was reading about your computer woes :-(

10:34 am

doseffing

... and unusual concept that should probably be in the physics babblet ...

10:34 am

jmcnrick

haha does

10:34 am

uusue2

I have a nice one in my office and one dead and one ailing one at home... (computers that is)

10:35 am

jmcnrick

grrr my dyslectic fingers

10:35 am

uusue2

lol, dose, I have trouble explaining to my students that what we call "work" in physics is not the same as the English word!

10:35 am

jmcnrick

my office one is nice too but mine for only 11 more days

10:35 am

uusue2

so jmc, apparently they are going to have my son and the girl in the same room for her deposition this afternoon

10:36 am

uusue2

I really want to be with him but he is balking

10:36 am

uusue2

but I think I should insist

10:36 am

uusue2

what do you think? am I nuts?

10:37 am

jmcnrick

he will have his lawyer there

10:37 am

flosey

All the best to your son, sue, hope it goes well for him

10:37 am

jmcnrick

remind me how old he is

10:37 am

doseffing

... I warn kids all the time that the meaning of the words is very important and that the meaning in math class is not necessarily the same as the meaning outside of class, e.g. "real" number ... ... they don't get it ... it's another one of the times they look at me like a creature from outer space ... ... the next time is when I put a question about define these terms on the math test

10:38 am

uusue2

21, jmc

10:38 am

uusue2

I know I have no legal grounds to insist, it's just me being a mom

10:39 am

uusue2

and the girl can request that I not be there

10:41 am

jmcnrick

well i think you should leave it up to your son in consultation with his attorney

10:42 am

jmcnrick

i know it is scary but that is what the attorney is for and his attorney seems to know what he is doing

10:42 am

uusue2

sounds sensible :-)

10:42 am

uusue2

and indeed he does

10:43 am

jmcnrick

<==sensible when i have to be

10:44 am

jmcnrick

any PC person want to help me pick out a new computer :-( [I do not want under any circumstances an apple)

10:45 am

uusue2

I can tell you what I have in my office, which is very nice

10:45 am

jmcnrick

what is that?

10:46 am

jmcnrick

i have a rebuilt dell at my office

10:46 am

MollyL

I have had good luck with Dell and Gateway. I join you in your "no thanks to Apple" feelings.

10:47 am

jmcnrick

apple really is useless when you spend all your time number crunching

10:48 am

uusue2

<--- looking up specs - box says "antec" on it

10:48 am

jmcnrick

i used to love gateway but they drifted away from their original excellence when they became a public company--although i heard they have drifted back

10:49 am

jmcnrick

the nice thing about dell is that the founder was a conscientious objector to the vietnam war

10:50 am

sadie52

Good Afternoon , Hope all are well :)

10:50 am

jmcnrick

antec makes computer cases

10:50 am

jmcnrick

10:51 am

jmcnrick

10:51 am

uusue2

AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor at 3.20 GHz, 7.74 GB of memory, running windows 7 professional, wireless mouse and keyboard, LG blu-ray read/write DVD, wireless adapter, 465 GB hard drive

10:51 am

sadie52

10:52 am

jmcnrick

10:52 am

sadie52

I go into withdrawal when computers are down

10:52 am

jmcnrick

yeah and it is on multiple fronts--laptop and netbook and yahoo was compromised

10:52 am

uusue2

I did indeed, jmc, and discovered that you cannot copy and paste from the window that appears :-)

10:53 am

sadie52

11:35 am

uusue2

11:35 am

periwinkle

11:35 am

Glantarell

I only got the teeniest teenist bit transerred fom my hand to my eye

11:36 am

Glantarell

no doctor or emergency room for 20 miles and i can;t drive like this - just keep eyewashing

11:36 am

periwinkle

is there anyone you can call, Glant, anyone at all

11:36 am

periwinkle

ty for the br7

11:36 am

rururocks

11:37 am

Glantarell

i'm not having any blurring or anything - and i did speak to a pharmacist who gave me the eyewash

11:37 am

Glantarell

what does the word which describes the position you're in when you're sleeping? first two letters

11:37 am

rururocks

spurge is awful and it burns like hell

11:37 am

Glantarell

yes it burns lik hell

11:38 am

periwinkle

never heard of spurge but sounds like a lot of discomfort from just a little bit

11:38 am

uusue2

br7 starts like the br6/27 (1st 4 letters) then add the sometimes vowel, then add two more vowels

11:38 am

rururocks

got the br finally

11:38 am

rururocks

thank you

11:38 am

Glantarell

i have checked on the intenet and if i had got the sap directly in my eye i would have called paramedics

11:41 am

yess ruru and you were no where to be found :(

11:42 am

periwinkle

11:42 am

cybernan

If the eyewash isn't working, maybe you should go to emergency and have your eye irrigated.

11:42 am

Glantarell

oh this is way way worse that a simple irritant like that - and they were skin esensitive baby wipes - my eye has been streaming for 8 hours straight

11:42 am

Glantarell

the eyewash works for about 10-15 minutes each time

11:43 am

Hi Dawg

4:04 pm

stidmama

we have four different clickers to run the electronics. I know how to use one or another, but when something happens unexpectedly, I get all kerfluffled and just freeze up. Although I can handle so many technical tasks on computers the many buttons and boxes for the AV system Tom put together are just too much.

4:04 pm

stidmama

go LBD go!

4:05 pm

lbdawger

hi hego!

4:05 pm

NBT here too. We actually had sun for almost three hours in a row today!

My summer is going well.My summer job is keeping me so very busy! It is a lot of work, but I still like the job

4:13 pm

stidmama

4:15 pm

I really should not be babbling now because I have so much school work I to do. Last week I wasn't able to babble all week Monday through Friday. Had so much work to do w/lessons plans. Sneaking in Babbling now.

4:16 pm

stidmama

I know how that feels, Min. I had to set myself small goals and take mini-breaks from my work last quarter to give my brain regular rests (and so I didn't feel overly deprived)

4:17 pm

stidmama

I hope you will have a lovely evening, everyone. back to painting! *poof*

6:03 pm

6:03 pm

blueheron

I've decided Hawaii first, then to your country!

6:03 pm

It's been very hot here on the East Coast, tomorrow is supposed to be pretty bad.

6:18 pm

mrpresident

6:18 pm

Uneaixoise

yup

6:19 pm

Uneaixoise

but on the plus side, I have lots of pink surprise lilies popping up!

6:19 pm

stidmama

did you try a baking soda bath? sometimes that used to help. Haven't had poison ivy in 30+ years, though...

6:19 pm

mrpresident

did the pups lead you down the poison ivy trail??

6:19 pm

Uneaixoise

no, weeding . . .

6:19 pm

mrpresident

we lucky... we don't have it here

6:20 pm

Uneaixoise

inside with the AC it's not bad -- but the heat outside really makes me want to claw my ankles! LOL

6:20 pm

stidmama

no, but you have frog plagues...

6:20 pm

Uneaixoise

and mrp has scary snakes and spiders!

6:21 pm

mrpresident

the weather has been so shocking!! I can't even drive in it!
Going to post office today, no matter what though!

6:21 pm

Uneaixoise

wow, seems like everyone's getting extreme weather, eh?

6:21 pm

mrpresident

we have ugly, bad toads, introduced to kill something or another... now they are like a noxious weed!

6:22 pm

mrpresident

scaries snakes!!

6:22 pm

mrpresident

scariest even!

6:22 pm

Uneaixoise

:-D

6:22 pm

stidmama

yes, about 72% of our days this year have been well below "normal" for our area, so many plants are in trouble (my cherry will have to be removed) because there is too much damp and the fungi are too happy...

6:22 pm

Uneaixoise

sorry about your cherry, stid :-(

6:23 pm

stidmama

I am finally (after 30 years) no longer afraid of, and indeed rarely startled by, the snakes in our garden which are completely non-poisonous.

6:23 pm

stidmama

me too, une, thanks

6:23 pm

mrpresident

not the cherry!!

6:23 pm

stidmama

but when I was a kid almost any snake scared me

6:24 pm

mrpresident

stid, you see a snake in my garden... you run like hell!

6:24 pm

stidmama

yep. it has brown rot, and although good weather it might have outgrown it, it is almost dead already.

6:24 pm

Uneaixoise

rarely see snakes my yard and if I do, it's just a little garter snake

6:24 pm

stidmama

I know, mrp -- and on the ot5 side of the mountains (east of us) I do! LOL

6:24 pm

mrpresident

and if you get bit, you call an ambulance immediately and try to remember what the bugger looked like

6:24 pm

mrpresident

rattlers ??

6:25 pm

mrpresident

you have scorpions too?

6:25 pm

mrpresident

hang on... you guys have some dangerous stuff in your gardens!! and really stinky stuff too. Skunks?

6:25 pm

Uneaixoise

my scariest snake experience was swimming in the river in Louisiana and realizing there was a snake swimming next to me!!!

6:25 pm

stidmama

rattlers to the east, scorpions only in warmer, dryer places like california and nevada (two+ states away)

6:26 pm

stidmama

yep. skunks abound! but they are nocturnal and don't enjoy human company so rarely seen.

6:26 pm

Uneaixoise

we only have skunks waaaay out in the boonies

6:26 pm

stidmama

we also have porcupines.

6:26 pm

Uneaixoise

we had scorpions at the camp i went to as a child in TX

6:26 pm

stidmama

and a bear... and foxes and coyotes and a cougar/puma all make the rounds

6:27 pm

stidmama

I don't like scorpions.

6:27 pm

MizHoffle

hey all..I am really stuck on br 7/48

6:27 pm

Uneaixoise

EVERYONE has coyotes these days . . .

6:27 pm

stidmama

I also struggle with any spider bigger than about a half inch

6:27 pm

stidmama

there's a br 7??? *runs to find it*

6:27 pm

MizHoffle

I am trying to avoid reading the chog as I am deathly afraid of snakes

6:28 pm

mrpresident

well, the dinner plate size spiders here would have you screaming!!

6:28 pm

mrpresident

and they live in our house too

6:28 pm

stidmama

mrp... I think I will put off our dinner date if that's okay... *grimace*

6:28 pm

Uneaixoise

good grief, that br7 is insane

6:29 pm

stidmama

6:29 pm

MizHoffle

I know, une!

6:29 pm

6:30 pm

stidmama

6:30 pm

mrpresident

6:30 pm

MizHoffle

thank you!!

6:30 pm

Uneaixoise

and of course no dictionary definition!

6:30 pm

Uneaixoise

yw :-)

6:32 pm

stidmama

the ceiling in the bedroom is painted (one coat) -- I insisted on waiting until it is completely dry before deciding if it will need another coat.

6:32 pm

Uneaixoise

Scot and Irish: disturbance or row . . . hmmmm

6:33 pm

stidmama

already the room looks brighter!

6:33 pm

Uneaixoise

cool!

6:34 pm

stidmama

yep. I did the roller part and tom did the cutting in. I brought the paint down the walls a bit. We'll decide later if we want the color to go all the way up to the ceiling (the shallow half-vault makes it a peculiar ceiling)

6:36 pm

stidmama

tomorrow, if possible, I would like to put the yellow walls on (the accent wall will be a very very light violet), just to get them out of the way. and friday, I hope, the violet. And then I can think about trim and windows.... and then bringing everything back into the room!!!

6:36 pm

Uneaixoise

sounds very fresh and creative, stiddy!

6:37 pm

stidmama

creative, anyway! LOL and a nice change after 11 years of primer-only :-D

6:37 pm

stidmama

oh! french star is in the grid! (et 6)

6:37 pm

Uneaixoise

yep

6:38 pm

Uneaixoise

a number of french words actually!

6:38 pm

Uneaixoise

cheese and noise, for example

6:38 pm

Minveryork

E's Entered! 7 left

6:38 pm

Uneaixoise

go, min!

6:39 pm

stidmama

ah! I didn't have the cheese yet!

6:39 pm

stidmama

go min go!!!

6:39 pm

stidmama

I have my age left (this will take a while...)

6:40 pm

stidmama

wait. which is the french word for noise? fils? *wicked mama grin*

6:41 pm

Uneaixoise

LOL

6:41 pm

Uneaixoise

br5

6:41 pm

stidmama

oh! I thought that was the heartbeat word -- but it makes sense. merci!

6:41 pm

Uneaixoise

and then there's br4/7 and ho8

6:42 pm

stidmama

I have the br 4, but not the ho 8 *thinking*

6:42 pm

stidmama

NOW I have the ho8!

6:43 pm

stidmama

down to 40 -- the last decade just "melted" off LOL

6:46 pm

stidmama

well, things are going well! thanks JBV -- did you know I got my teaching certificates? AND this week the third endorsement was added! I am now allowed to confuse and confound kids in elementary, mid-level humanities AND reading! LOL

6:46 pm

Uneaixoise

stiddy's out there warping malleable brains left and right!

6:47 pm

stidmama

thanks. I am so glad it's over!

6:48 pm

stidmama

no, not looking for full-time or even long-term work at the moment. Need to get over the health issues and take some time to get the kids back on track academically. Will substitute teach, though. I have many friends locally who will call on me.

6:49 pm

JBV

Oh, I didn't know. HOpe it's nothing too serious. You'll be the kids' favorite sub, I'm sure!

6:49 pm

stidmama

the only reason I would apply would be an opening at one of the three schools that I would love to work with the administrator... and those schools have very low turn over.

6:49 pm

JBV

But you never know - people leave for all kinds of reasons - ... it could happen

6:50 pm

stidmama

No, nothing very serious, just a whole bunch of things on top of each other, you know? I am glad I have some time this summer to recuperate -- it's my first summer off in years!

6:50 pm

lil*monkey

damn I need some U words

6:50 pm

stidmama

true, it could happen. And I am well poised to take advantage of it if it does.

6:50 pm

stidmama

monkey, un5 your language improves, I cannot help you.

6:50 pm

Uneaixoise

un5 loosen laces

6:50 pm

Uneaixoise

"un*** we meet again . . . "

6:51 pm

6:53 pm

stidmama

6:53 pm

JBV

things are moving along - I'm keeping up with my Italian lessons - exchanging emails on a weekly basis with the folks in Italy - some Skype calls, too - it's fun

6:54 pm

JBV

My brother who lives in Santa Fe was here for the weekend (for a wedding) so I hung out with him, his wife, and my sister and hubby - nice weekend

6:54 pm

stidmama

molto bene! io leggo un po d'italiano (each day) -- but I have forgotten so much. It's so nice to have the time to start reviewing, though!

6:55 pm

stidmama

how nice! glad you had time to visit

6:56 pm

JBV

I read the Italian newspaper online and I like to click on the videos to see how much I can understand - there's so much available on line - did you know you can also see some Italian TV programs on RAI TV online?

I'm assuming that you all know that re5/16 is to pass a rope through and that un7/44 is to take it out again?

8:31 pm

Jacula

Hi folks!

8:33 pm

Jacula

tu6 is a European flatfish and un7 is an unfauthful proclaimer of loving someone forever.

8:33 pm

Jacula

Or rather, in the latter case, how that person proclaims their love.

8:35 pm

Jacula

Talking to myself, I see!

8:37 pm

carleekat

just thought i would ooze on in and set a spell

8:45 pm

Jacula

I've got some chap from a solar panel company coming later today to assess the position of my house and the angle of it for what solar panels I need, all to do with government grants to fit them. It'll be a waste of an hour of my time and his, since the panels cost anywhere between £9K and £13K to fit and, even if the Government grants got them down to £4K, I still couldn't afford it. Not prepared to add to the almost finished mortgage, since my pay is below the breadline anyway.

8:45 pm

stidmama

hey carlee! *twisty front walk-over wave*

8:46 pm

carleekat

hi stiddy ~**LIMP WAVE*~*~ was the sweat runs off finger tips

8:46 pm

8:49 pm

carleekat

i find out the 5th of august

8:49 pm

Jacula

My daughter arrived in Toronto (from Calgary) a few hours ago. She says it is VERY HOT there at present. That is without the nasty shock of knocking on the hostel door to have it opened by an ex-b/f from England, who we both wondered might try to do away with her after she finished with him, as in anger issues and 'if I can't have you nobody else will'. Fortunately, she's in an all-female dorm, as she told me, 'and so he can't try to smother me in the night'.

8:50 pm

carleekat

OH OH OH..and i got my drivers license today with my maiden name back in place :)..tomorrow...filling out passport aplication and getting notorized :)

( that is 117 for the americans int he room )

8:51 pm

stidmama

:-D good for you carlee

8:51 pm

Jacula

Considering how big Canada is and how big Toronto is, the chances of the hostel thing are almost too strange to be co-incidental. I hope they are co-incidental, but I do have my police officer bro-in-law in Calgary on alert, just in case.

8:51 pm

stidmama

oh my, that's WAY hotter than I like. I am happy at 30, melt at 40.

8:51 pm

Jacula

I'm still worried about whether I should be worrying about the almost too strange co-incidence in a Toronto hostel.

8:56 pm

stidmama

9:01 pm

crosshair

i am cooked from dancing for the tourists in that heat for 8 hours:(

9:01 pm

Jacula

Ah! I think wht crossy meant to type was, 'I cannot use thekyeboard worth a damn tonight!' Is that correct (asks a former proof reader)?

9:01 pm

crosshair

9:03 pm

crosshair

mmm..misty-jack.....

9:03 pm

Jacula

I prefer dry white wine, but I drank what was left of that already...

9:04 pm

crosshair

wine to me is salad dressing my booze has to have a nice blue flame when you set it afire..or be able to run engines

9:04 pm

Jacula

So, if you read past posts, do I bother letting the solar panel chap do a survey and tell me what I could buy and what I could save?

9:05 pm

carleekat

gin...and lemonade...

9:05 pm

stidmama

okay, down to 25. back tomorrow! **hugs and choclits for all** Jac, hope your daughter will call you with all good news tomorrow.

Crossy - having been burned enough by spirits in ny teens I only use them for cooking now and drink wine, beer or cider with meals or just for the sake of drinking them.

9:06 pm

carleekat

mmm,eat the worm!!

9:07 pm

carleekat

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

crosshair

when i ran bar,we used to save back the algave worms and use 6 or 7 to make a special shooter that people would bid on

9:09 pm

carleekat

oh god....thats just wrong

9:09 pm

Jacula

carlee - only perhaps not because I'm too impatient to be bothered wasting my time with things I know I cannot afford, I guess. Done my internet checks and there's no way I could afford the solar panels. However, I could possibly lay the plan given to me later in front of my millionaire ex-hub , who is co-owner of the housew still, since he still hasn't paid it off and signed it over to me 16 years after the court order.

9:09 pm

crosshair

we are doing just cold plates tonight carlee,ritz crackers,saliced polish sausage,charp cheddar,pickles,picked beets,celery with cheese whiz etc

Jacula

I'm sure he is very confident that I'm going to die before he is, since I'm an overweight smoker who drinks, but I never injected steroids to become a great bodybuilder.

9:11 pm

9:12 pm

carleekat

9:12 pm

Jacula

Carlee - yes, I'll see the plan. (Though I know I can't afford to take them up on it. I would put it on the mortgage, but I don't have the funds to pay.)

9:12 pm

carleekat

( looks like an egg roll..but is filled with curried veggies )

9:13 pm

9:19 pm

carleekat

i am laying here..with my fan..sweating...i think i am going to have to have a cool bath and soak for a while before i hit the hay

9:19 pm

Jacula

How does $220 dollars a month grab you to survive on? That's what I get.

9:20 pm

SeaSpray

my electric bill is more than that Jac...how do you do it?

9:20 pm

carleekat

for support jacs?...that is what i am getting now

9:26 pm

Jacula

I get the same in rent fro my son, who still lives with us, I get $61 for my stepdaughter.

9:27 pm

Jacula

It still doesn't add up, so Beloved takes the brunt of it now, and I feel it's not right!

9:28 pm

carleekat

ok..well...am afrid i need a bath... to cool off... taking prisoner of azkaban to the tub with me to do some reading before bed

9:28 pm

Jacula

I could always fend for myself financially at one time, that's something I knew I needed to do.

9:28 pm

9:29 pm

carleekat

( ok..am in sim boat but no beloved to pick up slack and may well end up moving in with my mother at the age of 45..jacs..it could be worse )

9:29 pm

carleekat

*actual poof*

9:29 pm

Jacula

The years have frayed me and defryed my ability to earn.

9:30 pm

Jacula

Yes, carlee, since Beloved's firm has been bought out by a foreignn company who may well 'downsize', that option may well go out of the window.

9:31 pm

Jacula

The sooner Britain gets out of the European Community the better!

9:32 pm

Jacula

carlee - if you read back and see this, my ex used to give me a scenario where he'd pay for me and my mother to move into a country cottage together, just like he'd pensioned both of us off as no longer useful. Neither of us wanted to take that offer up!

9:33 pm

herinfernallady

Hi

9:34 pm

Hi Hwerin. Is your cat forgiven for its sins now?

9:34 pm

herinfernallady

9:35 pm

herinfernallady

She did it again last night then he hairballed on the lounge rug

9:35 pm

Jacula

OH DEAR!

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

Except it was the other rug in the bathroom

9:36 pm

herinfernallady

she is just angry that we are moving stuff about and spoiling their fun

9:38 pm

Jacula

My cat wanted to bring in a dead mouse tonight but couldn't pick it up 'cos he'd lost it for too long and it had a slug on both sides of it. He'd picked it up by the tail when he brought it to the door, but slug slime had got on the end of the tail when he'd set it down and he was trying everything he could to wipe the slug slime off his mouth. LOL

9:40 pm

mkg

9:41 pm

Jacula

I noticed the other night that he'd obviously learned his lesson about eating frogs, after he'd bitten the head off one - they taste NASTY and make your mouth foam. He stepped over and around one in front of me to wander off elsewhere in search of prey.

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

sceamed like a little girl

9:59 pm

Jacula

Oh! Okay jmc. Hope you get your problem sorted soon.

9:59 pm

herinfernallady

Poison is really bad to the mouse and the environment and what you going to do if the thing dies in the wall?

9:59 pm

jmcnrick

then today fried my computer so i went to my netbook and a virus ate it

10:00 pm

herinfernallady

You screamed like a girl I cried like a baby when my friends cat killed a mouse in frount of me

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

i have lived with a dead rat in the wall before--hold your nose until it doesn't smell any more

10:00 pm

Jacula

Herin is right re the poison option.

10:00 pm

jmcnrick

well there is no way i am putting out glue traps

10:00 pm

herinfernallady

You can get some traps that you just catch them and then release them or you just stick them in the freezer

10:01 pm

jmcnrick

ich1

10:01 pm

Jacula

The poison's also cruel. It gives them Luekamia, they die slowly.

10:01 pm

jmcnrick

the number one is an exclamation point

10:01 pm

jmcnrick

they don't die that slowly jac--rodents can't throw up --unlike cats

10:02 pm

herinfernallady

No really it is cruel. We never have had a mouse problem here. My friend gets them in her house as she lives on a farm

10:02 pm

herinfernallady

JM they die slowly. They burn from the inside out. I have seen it on farms

10:02 pm

jmcnrick

if it were a mouse i might be more sympathetic it was a rat

10:02 pm

Jacula

I'm off to bed again now, only one dead rodent. I didn't kill it, the cat did, but he did do it quickly.

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

i have seen smaller cats that this thing

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

well if my cat had been on the job. . . .

10:03 pm

herinfernallady

On the farm the dog gets the rats

10:03 pm

jmcnrick

good night jac

10:03 pm

herinfernallady

Night or morn Jac

10:04 pm

Jacula

No, they don't throw up, jmc - which means the death is more prolonged.

10:04 pm

Jacula

Morn - Herin. I'm gone now. Tatty bye!xx

10:04 pm

jmcnrick

10:05 pm

jmcnrick
