Glantarell

I was planning to spend the day taking a drive around Llyn Brianne (a very pretty lake about 25 miles away) then on to Strata Florida Abbey then home - but the weather is poor so I'll probabl stay home and do housework instead :-(
1:00 am
cybernan

and another lake is loaded
1:01 am
Glantarell

My lake is much hated in Wales
1:01 am
cybernan

I spent the day revisiting Stourhead and Lacock Abbey as I work on the video of our trip -- one of the nicest days we had - Stourhead is so gorgeous
1:02 am
cybernan

why is that, glan?
1:02 am

The lake - Llyn Celyn (Lake Celyn) was reated in the middle of the 20th century, when the governement decided to relocate the people form two village, and flood 800 acres

flosey

it's fun, the have a roster - made up ahead of time
1:42 am
flosey

things will slow down after labour day
1:43 am
jillibus

1:44 am
jillibus

almost the crack of dawn, lol!

good night and thanks for the help. sleep well.
1:51 am
jillibus

deb, it's rather early for you, isn't it? Or late?
1:51 am
debjed

i should still be asleep - 2:50 am here
1:52 am
jillibus

That's what I figured, deb
1:52 am
debjed

can't sleep - so many worries in my head
1:52 am
jillibus

Oh dear -- what worries?
1:54 am
debjed

I'm currently unemployed from a job I had for 12 years. I own a little house but might have to put it on the market. No insurance. No good job prospects in my area
1:54 am
jillibus

oh, deb, that's sad!
1:56 am
debjed

there are some good job prospects down in Knoxville, TN where I am currently visiting old friends. the cost of living here is cheaper, but I currently live 2 miles from my 85 year old mother. So it would be really hard to leave Illinois.
1:56 am
jillibus

Is your mother healthy?
1:58 am
debjed

very bad arthritis so it's hard for her to get around. and Dad died 6 years ago. But, my other sister lives about 1/2 mile from Mom.
1:58 am
jillibus

Maybe she would enjoy TN too
1:58 am
debjed

she's very stubborn and won't move :)
2:00 am
jillibus

oh well, if your sister is nearby she'll be ok. Maybe she'll visit you in TN or vice versa. Don't be tied to her. I'm 84 and don't live near any family. I have friends.
2:00 am
debjed

I'll be ok.... would you happen to have clues for the I in the bottom corner?
2:00 am
ursh

change is very scary when you 85 i think
2:00 am
negativeneil

Hi jilli, debjed, ursh.
2:02 am
debjed

yeah, mom has friends too. she says I have to do what's best for me. But, I'm truely scared of moving too :)


2:02 am

hi ursh
2:03 am
negativeneil

Oh, am I wrong?
2:03 am
debjed

good morning. thanks for the flower :)
2:03 am
jillibus

deb was asking for an I, not an L, neil
2:04 am
negativeneil

I guess I was. Sorry.
2:04 am
negativeneil

Oh, couldn't tell.
2:04 am
negativeneil

Sorry! It's hard to tell a capital i from a small L in here.
2:04 am
jillibus

Yes, it's hard to see the difference here between an i and an l
2:05 am
jillibus

and what you said too, neil
2:06 am
negativeneil

Oh well, I tried.
2:08 am
negativeneil

If you want a laugh check the joke on profile.
2:08 am
negativeneil

Jokes, even.
2:11 am
debjed

I'm over half way. So, I'm going to try to get some sleep. Thanks guys for the help. see you later
2:12 am
negativeneil

Sleep well.
2:14 am
jillibus

Saw the jokes, neil...<chuckle>
2:15 am
negativeneil

Hope I haven't offended anyone with those?
2:15 am
negativeneil

Oh there you are... phew.
2:15 am
negativeneil

Never know!
2:16 am
jillibus

hard to offend peeps here, but as you say, you never know
1
2:16 am
negativeneil

Yes. I try not to!
2:17 am
jillibus

there are much worse words in the grid from time to time
2:18 am
negativeneil

Despite the joke line I write in my bios sometimes... "I'm actively trying to offend you."
2:18 am
negativeneil

I've had some people seriously think I'm trying to when I'm not... that's how that got started.
2:18 am
negativeneil

Yes and it's just a body part.
2:19 am
jillibus

oh yes -- seems to me I picked that up soon after you arrived and called you neg in revenge, haha.
2:21 am
jillibus

phooey -- hoik should be a word -- I remember being hoiked up to reach things as a kid.
2:22 am
negativeneil

Oh yeah? Don't think I've ever heard or seen that one before.
2:23 am
jillibus

well, I had a Brit childhood
2:23 am
negativeneil

Oh, ok.
2:23 am
rolin

how can resit not be an aceptable word???... it this dictionary written by a failed student???
2:24 am
negativeneil

To sit again? Should be... can't one resit an exam?
2:24 am
jillibus

rolin, see my profile for the Enabler (scroll down)
2:24 am
negativeneil

I think I've heard that.
2:24 am
jillibus

All sorts or reasonable re words don't copunt here, and silly ones do.
2:25 am
jillibus

*of and *count, sigh
2:25 am
negativeneil

I've noticed that.
2:26 am
jillibus

sprite is going to hate this grid, with 14 K words
2:27 am
negativeneil

They weren't bad.
2:27 am
negativeneil

Nothing too weird.
2:27 am
jillibus

maybe not for you, neil, but I'm just an ordinary mortal, lol
2:28 am
negativeneil

I keep telling you, I'm just a major word nerd.
2:28 am
jillibus

I know, but I'm not!
2:28 am
negativeneil

Ok, well be glad you're not a nerd like me.
2:29 am
jillibus

is ku 4/9 and ordinary word?
2:29 am
jillibus

*an
2:29 am
negativeneil

It's one I've run into a lot in word games and puzzles... like Letterblox on OMGPOP and Word Racer.
2:29 am
jillibus

maybe I'm a minor nerd in other ways
2:30 am
jillibus

I see today's icon theme is in the grid
2:30 am
negativeneil

You run into pretty much any of the 4-letter words in those games... the trick is to just type in anything pronouncable. I get a lot of words that way that are pure guesses, and remember them.
2:30 am
negativeneil

Yes it is.
2:31 am
negativeneil

Singular and plural too.
2:31 am
negativeneil

And if you were to drink from it you could put an 's' on the front of the word... you'd be doing that to your thirst.
2:32 am
negativeneil

Not recommended for humans though.
2:33 am
jillibus

phew -- you were talking about the la4, not the ku4!
2:33 am
negativeneil

yes!
2:33 am
jillibus

So is the ku 4 a normal word?
2:34 am
negativeneil

Not an everyday word, no. You don't have it yet?
2:34 am
negativeneil

If you need a clue... it rhymes with that, only plural.
2:34 am
mrpresident

afternoon all :)
2:34 am
negativeneil

It sounds like what you shoot pool with.
2:34 am
jillibus

no, I don't have the ku
2:35 am
negativeneil

Hi mrp! Nice to see you. :)
2:35 am
jillibus

Hi mrp!
2:35 am
mrpresident

hi boys and girls!
2:35 am
jillibus

thx neil -- got the ku -- not normal to me
2:35 am
negativeneil

Jillli: it sounds like what you shoot pool with. Plural.
2:35 am
negativeneil

Oh, ok.
2:36 am
negativeneil

How's the leg now, mrp? Any better yet?
2:36 am
mrpresident

I have said it once, I have said it twice... if not thrice... I do not like F, U, K or C words!
2:37 am
negativeneil

Haha! Had to put those letters in that order?
2:37 am
jillibus

you should have put those in a slightly different order, mrp
2:37 am
negativeneil

Yes! Haha!
2:37 am
mrpresident

it is neil... I am able to get around without abusing people, hitting them with my crutch or having an aching bum!
2:37 am
negativeneil

"I do not like F, U, C or K words!"
2:37 am
mrpresident

jilli and neil... you know what I mean!
2:37 am
negativeneil

Oh good, mrp!
2:37 am
jillibus

btw, that ku word has no def
2:38 am
negativeneil

Of course we do. And all I can say is tsk, tsk! ;)
2:38 am
jillibus

yes, we do, mrp
2:38 am
negativeneil

I know, jilli... I looked for one!
2:40 am
mrpresident

is this grid 'normal'?? unlike yesterdays??
2:40 am
jillibus

this is a mean grid, and big, too. No likee.
2:40 am
negativeneil

I didn't think it was mean?
2:40 am
negativeneil

And it's not all that big. I want a big, fat one.
2:40 am
negativeneil

Uhhh, that probably didn't sound too good.
2:40 am
mrpresident

me too!! I wanted over 300 at least
2:40 am
jillibus

Pay no attention to the word nerd, mrp!
2:40 am
negativeneil

Yes, mrp!
2:41 am
negativeneil

Who do we complain to about this?
2:41 am
mrpresident

neil is a word nerd.. and would luv to have challenges in scrabble and hanging with friends neil
2:41 am
jillibus

I don't have time for anything over about 175.
2:41 am
negativeneil

Oh my god, I'm a Scrabble addict mrp!
2:41 am
mrpresident

it is an automatically generated grid... no complaints to make
2:41 am
negativeneil

Are you a Lexulous member, mrp?
2:41 am
mrpresident

well! let's lexulous baby!!
2:41 am
negativeneil

I play on there and also on Yahoo sometimes.
2:41 am
mrpresident

friend on FB?
2:42 am
negativeneil

No. I don't use it.
2:42 am
mrpresident

I can happily challenge you to 3 or 4 games at a time
2:42 am
mrpresident

ah, how about hanging with friends??
2:42 am
jillibus

I'm a Lexulous via Facebook slooow player when I get around to it.
.
2:42 am
mrpresident

jilli, you are always welcome to play lex with me :)
2:43 am
jillibus

There's a Lexulous online site too, mrp.
2:43 am
negativeneil

I have an old, empty dead page on there I don't add anyone to. I used it only for my college alumni and no one else... until I learned that any member of the public can view the full contents of any FB page. Seriously. There are web pages around with scripts enabling this. So I emptied out my FB page and I'm just waiting to get everyone moved over onto Google+ to connect with our network there.
2:43 am
mrpresident

i play hanging with friends on iphone
2:43 am
negativeneil

Then I'm deleting that FB account!
2:43 am
mrpresident

there is?? oh cool!!
2:43 am
jillibus

mrp, I have about 9 games going and never get around to them, my bad.
2:43 am
negativeneil

Are you and Jilli on Lexulous?
2:43 am
negativeneil

Add me on there by this name.
2:44 am
negativeneil

My player name... it's my online handle for everything.
2:44 am
negativeneil

Haha! You're worse than me, jilli.
2:44 am
mrpresident

i will go look for the lexulous website then
2:44 am
negativeneil

www.lexulous.com
2:44 am
jillibus

I was, neil, but as I said, I'm short of time and never go there now.
2:44 am
negativeneil

I'll go there now. Join and use the same name you have in here and I'll find you.
2:44 am
mrpresident

oh jilli! LOL!! that is a forced resign from you baby :((
2:44 am
negativeneil

Oh, what name do you use there... same one as here?
2:45 am
negativeneil

Are you on Google at all mrp?
2:45 am
mrpresident

ok, i will go on too... brb
2:45 am
mrpresident

on google + ??
2:45 am
jillibus

I don't want to go to the online Lexz site, neil -- I have my reasons.
2:46 am
negativeneil

Yes, or even just Gmail?
2:46 am
negativeneil

Oh, ok?
2:46 am
mrpresident

still looking into it... I want lickety to set it up for me all proper and stuff.
2:46 am
negativeneil

Oh I can help you with that if you want. Pretty easy.
2:46 am
mrpresident

brb, going to look at the lex site
2:47 am
negativeneil

If you have Gmail I can send you an invite to G+.
2:47 am
negativeneil

Ok.
2:47 am
jillibus

ttfn mrp -- I'll be heading for bed soon
2:49 am
negativeneil

What's cool about Lexulous is that you can play email games... we're pretty busy people so that works out better.
2:50 am
negativeneil

You get an email, well hopefully, when it's your turn to play... with a link that takes you to the game. That's when it works, haha!
2:51 am
jillibus

on FB the game just waits for you -- also can play at one's leisure, and there are notifications by email too.
2:52 am
jillibus

I used to use the Lex site but prefer not to now.
2:52 am
negativeneil

There are when they work... with some games, none of the notifications get sent! It's annoying.
2:52 am
negativeneil

Oh, you said FB, sorry. I misread that... thought you meant the Lexulous site.
2:53 am
jillibus

I haven't had a problem with FB -- can always check in to Lex there to see what's up. I should do that but have been doverted lately by jigidi.com
2:54 am
jillibus

*diverted
2:54 am
negativeneil

What is jigidi.com?
2:54 am
mrpresident

finally got on lex! good lord
2:54 am
jillibus

A really good jigsaw site
2:54 am
negativeneil

I know, I already found and added you.
2:54 am
negativeneil

I sent an invitation to your Yahoo address.
2:54 am
negativeneil

And apparently you had an account there already?
2:55 am
negativeneil

Oh yes, jilli? Never knew about it. I'll have to check that out.
2:55 am
mrpresident

i have gmail... just need to get lickety to find it
2:55 am
negativeneil

Oh, ok. Let me know your Gmail address and I'll send an invite. G+ is still invite only.
2:55 am
jillibus

was ruru on? I see a very suitable word for him -- pu4/6
2:56 am
negativeneil

Haha! For me too.
2:56 am
mrpresident

i do have gmail!
2:56 am
negativeneil

And my dad? You don't want to know~!
2:56 am
negativeneil

Is it the same username as Yahoo, mrp?
2:56 am
mrpresident

mrpresident1968 at gmail dot com
2:57 am
negativeneil

My dad's so bad for the puns and rotten jokes that you just want to hit him with something, a lot.
2:57 am
jillibus

jigidi is addictive. And we can upload pix into it and create jigsaws. There are some lovely photos and other works of art there -- lots of variety.
2:57 am
negativeneil

You are hereby cordially invited, mrp.
2:57 am
mrpresident

to the PB for you neil!! *throws timtams at neil on the way to the PB*
2:57 am

Whaaat?
2:58 am
mrpresident

ok
2:58 am
negativeneil

Uh oh! You're right... I said it.
2:58 am
negativeneil

[hangs head in shame]
2:58 am
jillibus

nver mind, neil, lots of goodies in the PB
2:59 am
negativeneil

Haha! All my favorites? Chocolate chip and peanut butter cookies?
2:59 am
mrpresident

brb... children are asking me for incredible favours... won't be long
2:59 am
negativeneil

Ok mrp.
3:00 am
jillibus

Oh yes, neil, by the ton.
3:00 am
negativeneil

Man! I'll get FAT.
3:00 am
jillibus

they're all no-cal
3:03 am
negativeneil

But they taste like they're a bazillion calories?
3:04 am
jillibus

sure. And some are broken, and evrryone knows broken cookies don't count
3:08 am
negativeneil

Haha, don't we wish?
3:09 am
negativeneil

Why is everything that's the most fun in life illegal, immoral or fattening?
3:09 am
negativeneil

So unfair.
3:10 am
carleekat

3:13 am
carleekat

not being bitchy ( sorry if i sound that way )
3:13 am
jillibus

OK, carlee -- but you were having trouble entering words in the chat, which shouldn't happen with Expert. Maybe you weren't using the Lickety Add box?
3:14 am
carleekat

( that wasnt me jilli :) )
3:14 am
carleekat

its 4 am ... i just woke up... i am not "good" with words this early
3:14 am
jillibus

Carlee, Lickety published for everyone to use a while ago aftr he had had some server problemsor something as I recall.
3:15 am
rubyfoo

I confess, it was bad Ruby but I wasn't able to install expert. I am just being much more careful these days
3:15 am
negativeneil

Wow. That's early to get up?
3:15 am
carleekat

i appreciate it guys....but i never have "trouble" with expert...
3:15 am

Oh, sorry, carlee -- I thought it was.

jillibus

*unpoof to submit this for ruby*

A study has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle. For example: if she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear lodged in his chest while he is on fire. No further studies are expected on this subject.
3:27 am

ruby, there is always something... i know it is awkward, but it will sort into something better

A good chunk of my FB friends of deserted over to G+, so one would think I would've picked up on it sooner.

I refuse to use FB anymore... after learning that there's no such thing as a private FB page.
3:51 am

did you see The Social Network, boat? It was on Fr TV this week
3:51 am

you found them all so fast? I as proud of myself for finding 8! :(
3:52 am
sprite

oh rubyfoo! Did you see... today's icon theme is in the grid. Now that I like :D
3:52 am
negativeneil

No matter how you set it, there are lots of web pages that enable any member of the public to view the entire conents of any "private" FB page. So I've emptied mine out and as soon as the remainder of my contacts there move onto G+ I'm deleting my FB account. Can't wait to do that.
3:53 am
negativeneil

Contents, even. Geez!
3:53 am
sprite

I always do the Ks first, rubyfoo. So I didn't look for other words in the mean time :)
3:53 am
boatierra

It all depends on what you put on there. People just have to remember, the Internet is FOREVER. Whatever you put on the Internet, whether its FB, Babble, Amazon, etc, its there for always. So don't put something there you woudn't want the rest of the world to know. I think its pretty simple, but I guess other don't.
3:54 am
rubyfoo

since I am incapable of changing my icon, I am hoping that someday it will be chows OR dogs named Max!
3:54 am
boatierra

Good luck, I hope it works out.
3:54 am
negativeneil

Sure boatierra. But Google+ has real privacy. You can make any section of your page as private as you want and there are no hacks enabling anyone to view them if you set it privately.
3:54 am
sprite

you can always suggest a theme, rubyfoo :)
3:54 am
boatierra

That's enticing.
3:55 am
rubyfoo

but I can never change my icon! have tried 100 times but it will have to wait 'til son comes back....
3:55 am
negativeneil

And if you have Gmail you have a Google account already anyway... we all had profiles, and G+ just makes those existing profiles into G+ pages.
3:55 am

I take the Chows... dogs named Max may not work too well here, grinnn.

seaspray's beloved deceased dog was named Max, too

Oh cool. Thanks! That would be fun to see.
3:58 am
boatierra

I had a Gmail very briefly not long ago and what really creeped me out was when Google asked for my phone # to confirm the account and my finger had barely left the last digit on my keyboard when Google called me to confirm the # and my new email address. Phone rang I freaked!
3:58 am
rubyfoo

that is creepy indeed, boat
3:59 am
boatierra

Ya, I don't have the Gmail anymore. Just stick to my Yahoo :)
4:00 am
negativeneil

Weird, boatierra. I know they've been doing that sometimes lately. I never had to enter one when I made my first Gmail account several years ago. Then I made a second one because I was using the first one for all my business and school/college email. The newer one is just for personal use... family and friends. I wasn't asked for it with the second account either... but I now have an Android phone so of course Google have all of my contact info now. They've asked some other people I know for a phone number just for registering a new email account... not sure why?
4:01 am
negativeneil

Oh I find Gmail much better than Yahoo mail.
4:01 am
rubyfoo

I get enough telemarketers (sorry, I don't speak French, hahah) so would never give out my phone number
4:02 am
negativeneil

I have a Hotmail address on profile, but that account downloads via POP3 access into my Gmail.
4:02 am
boatierra

'Cause they want your phone number? And its an easy way to confirm that its a real person setting up the account rather than a computer setting up the account.
4:02 am
negativeneil

I don't have any pestering me, ruby.
4:02 am
negativeneil

Yes, I guess that's one reason they do it... not sure if it's the only one though.
4:03 am

you are lucky, neil, I get several a day, mostly orientals speaking heavily accented French
4:03 am
rubyfoo

they are nonplused when I say "Hello hello. Who is this?"
4:03 am
sprite

lol rubyfoo, my husband is terrific with them. He always asks questions back. "What kind of toothpaste do you use?" "But you DO consider your teeth of the utmost importance, don't you?" "Why don't you want to answer that?" Etc. It drives them crazy.
4:03 am
boatierra

Is the French at least good?
4:04 am

it's very funny because they probably speak English but are so surprised that they hang up

scabbed = bludged = begged = asked for = nice neighbours

bludging means getting something for nothing

I like aussie. I sometimes chat on TS during a game and a couple of the guys are Aussies. I love it.

Aww. Sorry to hear that. Some people's parents make me appreciate mine sooo much. They divorced in 2002 [the year i turned 18] but it was very amicable and they're still good friends... so it wasn't too bad. Heck, my mom and my dad's g/f are even good friends! Isn't that a little unusual?
4:28 am
mrpresident

we are everything, to someone... to those that matter, those that count, those that are brilliant and loving and true to heart
4:29 am

it is unusual, but wonderful if people can make that work. Makes for less wounds allover.
4:29 am
mrpresident

you are lucky neil, and also blessed to have good and decent parents!
4:30 am
mrpresident

my kids are all those things I just mentioned
4:30 am
negativeneil

Yes, exactly. I remember going to dad's with mom and my brother, the first time mom met dad's g/f. We wondered how it would go. They went off for a stroll together, talking. At the end of the day mom turned to my brother and I with a big smile on her face and said "Don't you just love her?" We laughed and he said "Wow... that went well!"
4:30 am
sprite

now just to move from surviving to living... that is a process.
4:30 am
negativeneil

Yes, I sure am.
4:31 am
mrpresident

moving forward is the key sprite... life goes on... we just need to keep moving and living and loving and FEEL WE BELONG!
4:32 am
negativeneil

I'm sure it is. But like mrp says... moving forward, which enables you to leave the past BEHIND. It's a lot of work and a real process though.
4:32 am
mrpresident

Neil, it is not so great for some of us... I envy you and adore that you have that in your family too! good on you and the love of your parents
4:32 am
sprite

yep that is the most important part, isn't it. Feeling we belong, that we deserve a place on this world.
4:32 am
mrpresident

yep... that is the hard part
4:33 am
mrpresident

when you have been abused to the point of 'uselessness' it is hard to feel you belong
4:33 am
negativeneil

Yes, I have good parents who love us and are always there for us... I feel very blessed.
4:33 am
sprite

well I trust I have travelled a long way in that process and should be able to glimps the end sometime soon.
4:33 am
negativeneil

I bet it is. :( I have a friend who is suffering the effects of that.
4:34 am
mrpresident

I have acheived so much in my life... amazing things that make people's eyes roll with amazement, but if a parent abuses you, it takes it all away
4:34 am
negativeneil

I bet, mrp. You amaze me already.
4:34 am
sprite

mrP is a heroin :)
4:35 am
mrpresident

still, I know what I have acheived, and have to remind myself that cause I did it, my kids can do it 10 times more!! and will always be proud and supportive
4:35 am
mrpresident

oh sprite! you are!! you have come so far with me... we are both amazing!
4:36 am
sprite

I think the worst part is, the people that matter in our lives do feel we belong, they do see our achievements and are proud and supportive - but we find it hard to believe.
4:36 am
mrpresident

ok, number one son is here... about to close my computer ... am joining my family for dinner (he just farted!) and see you all in a little while!
Oh family! they are the best!! bbs **hugs**
4:36 am

4:36 am
negativeneil

Yes, that's exactly what my friend I mentioned goes through. Everyone else sees how beautiful and lovable she is.. but she can't believe it. :(
4:37 am
negativeneil

And she automatically puts herself down... like it's such an engrained habit now. :(
4:37 am
sprite

nope. The foundation on which to build that believe is lacking. And building that ourselves is very hard and time consuming. But it can be done.
4:37 am
negativeneil

Ugh mrp... gas mask! Haha.
4:38 am
negativeneil

Yes, by repeating positive affirmations instead of negatives to yourself... what you tell youself over and over, you end up believing.
4:38 am
negativeneil

I'm not living up to my online name, am I?
4:39 am
sprite

ah yes, it is a habit too. Which is often the first thing we can change... a bit like fake it till you make it... change the behaviour, even though it feels forced... and the feelings will follow, because the thoughts are taking a different road.
4:39 am
sprite

I hope you don't, neil.
4:41 am
negativeneil

The name is a joke, sprite. There's a bit of a story to it.
4:41 am
negativeneil

And yes, I think that's exactly how it is... but live as you mean to go on.
4:41 am
sprite

am glad for you it is a joke. Always find stories behind names and nicks interesting.
4:44 am
negativeneil

Well I don't know how interesting it is. My first job out of college was in the offices of a newspaper in San Jose. I couldn't stand my work environment and some of my co-workers just drove me nuts. So I had to vent, somehow. I started blogging about it, just to do that... and I kind of thought it was funny, because I was bitching and complaining all the time in those blogs. Also, my blood type is negative and I'm a photographer... negatives. Although I shoot with a digital camera now of course.
4:45 am
negativeneil

I think that old blog had about 5 readers, haha!
4:45 am
sprite

that is a nice story. Very apt handle, especially for the purpose back then.
4:45 am
negativeneil

Yeah I guess. It just stuck ever since.
4:47 am
sprite

yeah that is often how it goes, isn't it. We grow attached to such things.
4:59 am
negativeneil

Well it seemed to fit, it worked and people got used to it, including me.
5:00 am
sprite

we've had one or two babblers who changed their nickname. I noticed it was hard for me to get used to the new one, I was kind of attached to their first.
5:01 am
negativeneil

Oh yes? Guess that would take some getting used to.
5:01 am
sprite

yes it took some time before I just accepted their name. At first I saw the new name, had to do a backtrace, then think the old name, lol
5:02 am
negativeneil

Yeah, I'd probably keep forgetting who they were at first.
5:05 am
sprite

which is quite different from real life for me. As soon as somebody changes his or her appearance, I seem to be used to it. Other people say: did you see her new glasses or his new haircut, and I think... hell no, never noticed, just thought they looked great.
5:06 am

My hair was lighter then than it is now... but that's pretty normal with kids.
5:09 am

my kids were white blonde when they were small. They are very dark blonde now. Almost brown. I was chestnut when small and now almost black (with a lot of white nowadays)
5:10 am
negativeneil

That's quite a change.
5:11 am

it runs in the family. My father was a sailor early in his life and they called him the silver gull (?) because of his hair colour. I have only known him as very dark brown.

Found it for you in the chog archive, Jean:

jillibus

*unpoof to submit this for ruby*

A study has revealed that the kind of face a woman finds attractive on a man can differ depending on where she is in her menstrual cycle. For example: if she is ovulating, she is attracted to men with rugged and masculine features. However, if she is menstruating or menopausal, she tends to be more attracted to a man with duct tape over his mouth and a spear lodged in his chest while he is on fire. No further studies are expected on this subject.

It's controversial because there were some changes made to the characterizations, but I think it's probably stronger for it.

Any waffle recipe is good if you separate the egg yolks from the whites and beat the whites until stiff. That gives you light and fluffy waffles.

probably, ruby, although I would have to look it up to be sure - it is very common in things that form natural spirals

for dogs, the usual mixed-meat risotto. For me and husband, pork chops, brocollini pre-cooked, then sauteed w/garlic, HEINZ BAKED BEANS (yay), and rice

10:33 am
rururocks

grits are hominy
10:33 am
MollyL

Kind of porridge. Cornmeal porridge.
10:33 am
kje

no mosh - made from hominey... closer for you would be polenta
10:33 am
jmcnrick

no it is not porridge it is cooked dried hominy
10:33 am

hi, jmc!
10:34 am
rururocks

but b
10:34 am
rururocks

but they are grittier
10:34 am

hominy is field corn treated with lime which transforms the sugar in the corn to protein
10:34 am
moshemoo

argh got it thank you
10:34 am
uusue2

and I don't think that heat in Texas has anything more to do with Rick Perry than hurricanes in Florida have to do with gay people
10:34 am
MollyL

It's goopy, gritty stuff.
10:34 am
rururocks

wow.. bows to jmc's knowledge of grits

you lose the tile stats after two weeks sapphire, you need to come up with the money which is for a good cause

11:08 am
rururocks

I think I'm gonna be really pissed when I find out how easy the words I'm missing are to find
11:08 am
jmcnrick

i would still try removing gluten from your diet as i have seen several friends who had unexplained tummy troubles solve it that way
11:09 am
uusue2

I always am, ruru, although I don't let it bother me any more
11:09 am
vanillaslice

I've been trying to get to a sp word for the last half hour
11:09 am
MollyL

I thought Vanilla said removing gluten had already been tried.
11:09 am
vanillaslice

thx jmc I do have soya milk on my cereals!!
11:09 am
jmcnrick

it isn't worth warm sp** to worry about it
11:10 am
jmcnrick

gluten is in wheat vanilla
11:10 am
witchy

don't cry over sp---- milk vanilla
11:10 am
uusue2

and vanilla, I would second what jmc says - my better half has celiac disease, and it is amazing where gluten is found - it was really tough to really eliminate it all, and if he eats some now he has symptoms for about 3 days
11:11 am
vanillaslice

sry yes, but it was gluten free and no dairy products
11:11 am
rururocks

that's agrivating vanilla.. i am sorry for you
11:11 am
vanillaslice

I got sick of rice chicken
11:11 am
uusue2

wheat, barley, and rye have gluten; flour-based thickeners are in a lot of things (including many medications); soy sauce has wheat; if you are very sensitive even eating gluten-free products that have been processed on equipment that also processes wheat can cause problems
11:12 am
rururocks

We have a good friend with Krohns and it's awful to see
11:12 am
vanillaslice

mind you a good cleanout every now and then must be good for you
11:12 am
jmcnrick

sp*** is a wooden peg -- i thought it was paper tightly wrapped to make a design
11:13 am
jmcnrick

rice chicken for breakfast? how very asian
11:13 am
uusue2

celiac can make you very sick but if you stay totally away from gluten you can be fine
11:13 am

saffron? thanks for reminding me to start looking for my saffron crocus
11:15 am
vanillaslice

I really do thank you for your concern, I've lived with it for many years and too many doctor visits and barium meals and probes etc
11:15 am
jmcnrick

this is the best place in the world to come for brain storming about a problem or issue
11:16 am
uusue2

same thing happened to Frank, vanilla, he was in his mid-50s before they finally figured it out
11:16 am
uusue2

and he had to be really vigilant about avoiding gluten
11:17 am
vanillaslice

I think I will do that seriously again see if I have more benefit then last time which was a few years ago
11:17 am
uusue2

milk gives him no trouble but he's given up on dry cereals, hasn't found one that doesn't make him sick - they are all processed on equipment, etc
11:18 am
vanillaslice

because it is happening a bit too often lately
11:18 am

If I'm not mistaken, Chron's and Celiac disease involve more than just occasional stomach upset. I know Chron's does because my girlie-in-law has it.

Especially since it doesn't happen on a reg shedual. May be in an ingredient you use only occasionally

My cousin got a job as a mailman but he walked the route and finished too fast, so they gave him a rural route that covered miles. He was given a little jeep so he could get it done in time. He finished too fast. So they took the jeep away and made him walk the route. He still finished before the guys in the truck.
4:49 pm

before that one molly
4:50 pm

Needless to say, he did not last long at the Post Office

yet studies show that the u.s. post service delivers 95% of its first class mail in 1 day
4:55 pm

don't think so, it's not capitalized
8:45 pm

I'm on my way outta here (I've been in and out all day - maybe 5 minutes at a time), but noticed the comment about words not being viable. This week, the gri had "wythe" in it. And that's a word - it's masonry; single wythe or double wythe walls. But not allowed here.

Crossy - the Welsh mountains gave us the kind of rain that only they can yesterday morning - the fine needles mixed with mist and cloud that come at you from above, from below and from all 4 compass points. I felt sorry for the campers who only had pup tents and so had to stand, huddled like a group of miserable cattle, under the poor shelter of the mountain scrub oaks.

9:59 pm
Jacula

I've only been to Yorkshire once, crossy, but I couldn't resist getting out on the moor as we passed through on our way to Scarborough for a writers' conference. I had to continue a 'tradition' my husband's aunt began - charging along with my arms out and yelling, 'Heathcliff!'
10:00 pm
Jacula

Crossy - no, you won't be disappointed. The moors are still much as they were (so long as those ugly wind turbines haven't sprouted up all over them).
10:00 pm
crosshair

i have seen the cotswolds(sp) on the internet,and a slice of that will be just right for ole crossy

The Cotswolds are still lovely, too, as is North Wales, where I have just returned from.

10:18 pm

oh nm I see your post right after you asked
10:19 pm
Jacula

Hi mel. Bea 'did a peri', i.e she asked and then she found before we replied.
10:19 pm
Minveryork

Hello gapeach1066! I would not say I love dogs, but I do love MY dog. Was never really a dog lover 'til I got mine. My family laughs at me because I've never held back on my dislike of dogs and then I end up not just owning one, but actually loving it. I do prefer smaller dogs to bigger dogs. I am a cat lover at heart though
10:23 pm
Jacula

Min - that's quite funny. I'm a dog lover at heart, but since I had to take my nearly 18-year-old dog on his final journey, I haven't been able to open my heart to another dog. However, cats keep finding me and adopting me. Only one or two at a time, but they make me love them... somehow.
10:23 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

We had dogs and cats as I was growing up but mother would never let them come into the house. I always felt sorry for them during the hostile winters we had in Kentucky.
10:24 pm
Jacula

Did they have any kind of shelter to go into, gapeach?
10:25 pm
Minveryork

I grew up with cats & dogs too. I loved the cats, not the dogs. First dog was a German Shepard and then I always had Golden Retrievers after that. Maybe that is why I do not like big dogs since that is what I grew up with & I never liked any of the dogs I grew up with
10:26 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

I think they may have gone into a coal shed in the back yard. My two "rescues" really have it made. But then I've spoiled them as I did my children. They are such good company (the dogs).
10:26 pm
Jacula

Unfortunately, the cat we have now won't tolerate any other animal of any kind in the house. (But we do have 3 guinea pigs housed in a comfy shed in the garden.)
10:26 pm
Minveryork

I know someone like that.He keeps his dog outside at all times whether is 30 below zero or 100+ in summer.
10:27 pm
Jacula

Min - I wonder why? Both dog breeds you mention are usually good with kids.
10:27 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

Oh, Min, that is just awful. The poor dog.
10:28 pm
Jacula

Min - that's just cruel, re the dog owner. Yes, you have to be pack leader and all that, but not to the degree of plain cruelty.
10:29 pm
Jacula

If you give a dog love it will give you love, total loyalty and more back. Dogs are also far more forgiving than cats.
10:30 pm
Minveryork

People have called the town on him, but he does have a dog house in the backyard so they say that it is ok for him to be out there because they feed him too. I and the rest of the neighborhood do not think it is ok
10:30 pm
Jacula

Is the dog house insulated and/or heated?
10:31 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

Min, I loved the info on Eileen Brennan. She has done a lot of work.
10:32 pm
Jacula

If the dog's a husky or a wolf, or a samoyed, it might be okay.
10:33 pm
Minveryork

The dogs I grew up w/were great dogs. I just did not know it at the time.I did not like the barking and the drooling and the the dog licks and dog smell.Had very little patience for dogs. Now I got more patience for dogs; not that my dog takes a lot of patience.He's so easy going and mellow.Hubby, that's a different story
10:33 pm
Jacula

Oh dear, Min!
10:33 pm
Minveryork

No,it is an open dog house but the town says the dog has a roof over its head. That dog gets no TLC at all!
10:35 pm
Jacula

No TLC often makes a dog aggressive. If it doesn't do that, it makes them cowed and depressed (and likely to snap).
10:35 pm
Minveryork

I never really cared for Eileen Brennan. I don't know why not; maybe because I did not like her in "Private Benjamin".Did you ever see that movie gapeach1066?
10:36 pm
Minveryork

I hope you also read my story of clues gapeach1066.I hope it helped you to find some more words in puzzle.
10:36 pm
Jacula

Min - I think 'the town' (I assume that's what we in UK would call the town council?) needs to rethink its policy according to the breed of dog etc.
10:37 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

Yes, I did see that one. And yes, I always find your stories helpful.
10:37 pm
Jacula

Min - your stories are always great. I didn't use it, since I'd already done, but I read it.
10:38 pm
Minveryork

Not only is dog kept outside, but dog is kept outside chained up to a tree!The people who live behind that dog's house give it food&treats all of the time though
10:38 pm

I still have 24 words to go and I don't have the energy to finish.
10:39 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

Min, I am glad for the neighbors who help this animal.
10:39 pm
Jacula

Min - I think someone needs to go outside the law a little and commit 'dognap'.
10:39 pm
Jacula

gap - ask and clues will be given.
10:40 pm
Minveryork

Congratulations on finishing the grid already. Hooray

Thanks Min.
10:41 pm
Minveryork

LOL, dognap! I like that one.
10:41 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

I agree, Jacula. In fact, many years ago there was a Beagle next door that was being mistreated and he just "happened" to jump into my car and he would up in the next state with some nice people.
10:41 pm
Minveryork

Thought a dognap lasted a little longer than a catnap.
10:41 pm
gapeach1066@yaho

wound up.
10:42 pm

Gosh, gapeach! How strange that he just 'happened' to do that. Well done!
