1:23 am

VolleymomDee

I think we have our table all set, so the rest will be what it will be

1:23 am

VolleymomDee

interesting cos!

1:23 am

dart001

doesn't matter who gets elected...obama or the repub candidate...if we don't find a way to pay for stuff without borrowing as much as we do....we are gonna be in big trouble when people stop lending us money

1:23 am

cosdem

anyhoo i hope you have fun!

1:24 am

cosdem

i'm voting for mr. rocky anderson of the justice party.

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

absolutely dart... too many are expecting freebies w/o taxing... can't happen

1:25 am

cosdem

obama signing the new law allowing police to detain americans without reason was just too much.

1:25 am

dart001

we are "enjoying " very low rates on the debt now....if that ever goes up, and it will, we are going to be following Italy and Greece and the rest of Europe in a few years

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

I vehemently do not like obama

1:25 am

VolleymomDee

absolutely right dart

1:26 am

cosdem

i only voted for him because i couldn't stand sarah palin. i was a delegate for hillary but this time around he does not get my vote.

1:26 am

dart001

and they can take "all " the money that everyone has and it still won't be enough to pay off the debt

1:26 am

VolleymomDee

definitely he is starting to show his true colors I think

1:26 am

rbud

I haven't voted in ages, I refuse to go out only to pick the lesser of all the evils.

1:27 am

rbud

I know that's unAmerican, but there it is.

1:27 am

VolleymomDee

need to vote though rb... that is one privilege we still have

1:27 am

cosdem

1:28 am

Oh, I vote on local issues that mean something to me, but I haven't like a presidential candidate in 30 years or more.

1:28 am

IndiaJan

obama is a good man.

1:28 am

rbud

yay, vanilla!

1:28 am

cosdem

i vote every time. even if its just for a referrendum lol

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

Americans think they "deserve" benefits of socialized countries w/o taxation... none of it makes sense to my accounting brain

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

me, too, cos

1:29 am

cosdem

because i want the right to moan about it :)

1:29 am

cosdem

but rbud... voting local is very important too so good on ya :)

1:29 am

rbud

I moan about the lack of good choices, that's my complaint.

1:29 am

IndiaJan

1:30 am

cosdem

i keep trying engima

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

en 6/21 make someone endeared to you or love you cos

1:30 am

dart001

if we lose the ability to borrow, we are screwed. who will loan any money if they know they won't get it back and then we can only spend what is brought in. Which means a 40% cut of the budget. Pensions, welfare, military etc. It will come if we don't get our house in order and time is not on our side forever.

1:31 am

cosdem

thanks dee!

1:31 am

cosdem

i was spelling it with an e at the end. doh

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

1:41 am

rbud

ahhhh, that's better!

1:42 am

rubyfoo

good morning

1:43 am

cosdem

glad u got it !

1:43 am

flosey

hello ruby

1:43 am

rbud

hi ruby! :)

1:44 am

rubyfoo

what a night! we lost power upstairs, so no lights, heat or TV. Candles everywhere, scared dogs.

1:44 am

rubyfoo

Fortunately, I found an electrician for this AM. Phew!

1:44 am

flosey

how long was it off ruby?

1:44 am

rubyfoo

I don't think husband slept a wink.

1:45 am

flosey

ah, it was only your home?

1:45 am

rubyfoo

so far, 15 hours. But it's weird that only one level would go off like that

1:45 am

flosey

very strange

1:45 am

hurshy

anyone medical around?

1:45 am

flosey

did you find out what caused it?

1:45 am

rubyfoo

I slept on the couch where it was warmer and I could monitor the dogs better.

1:46 am

rubyfoo

hopefully, the electrician can fix it because husband is going crazy without TV and his computer

1:46 am

flosey

not that I know of hurshy, are you ok?

1:47 am

hurshy

well i think so but that is where i want a second opinion.

1:47 am

rbud

not medical, hursh, but hoping you're getting better.

1:47 am

hurshy

the hardest thing about doctors is deciding whether or not you need to call one.

1:48 am

rubyfoo

hello hurshy, what is wrong?

1:48 am

flosey

yes, that's true, when I was in doubt, called ER, they told me to call the Public Health Nurse and do as they said

1:48 am

hurshy

i am getting better, thank you rbud. i am just experiencing minor chest pains on the right side. i don't see this listed as a side effect of the painkillers i'm on, nor any heart things as side effects.

1:49 am

flosey

can you call ER and get an opinion? or would they insist on seeing you

1:49 am

hurshy

i can call a nurse at our health plan but since talking hurts would prefer not to if i can help it.

1:50 am

flosey

ah, understand that, how about emailing the nurse

1:50 am

hurshy

figure i should give it a little time, i'm young and healthy in general.

1:50 am

hurshy

i don't think they have an ehotline but let me look.

1:52 am

hurshy

no email listed just the phone number :(

1:52 am

flosey

darn, how about calling and asking if you can email?

1:52 am

rubyfoo

how high up is the pain, hurshy?

1:53 am

flosey

due to pain

1:53 am

hurshy

well it's definitely behind my ribs high upness wise

1:53 am

hurshy

actually it may already be going away

1:54 am

flosey

hope so, for your sake hurshy, but I'd like to see you be reassured

1:55 am

rubyfoo

could it be a gas bubble? does moving around help?

1:55 am

flosey

if that is the case, it would be reassurring to know

1:56 am

hurshy

it COULD be a gas bubble i have been very gassy as a side effect of meds

1:56 am

rubyfoo

I get that sometimes, I think because of the brewers' yeast I take,; it is a nasty pain, but goes away if I move around

1:57 am

hurshy

well this was like a dull ache more when breathing in than out, does that sound like yours?

1:58 am

rubyfoo

thinking about it, but I don't think breathing affected it....

1:59 am

hurshy

definitely seems like a possibility

2:00 am

rbud

if you've been running your mouse and on your computer more than usual, and are right-handed, it might be just a muscle/joint pain from too much of that, I get pains in my shoulder and bottom of my shoulder blade if I sit here too long.

2:02 am

hurshy

i feel like this happens occasionally, random pains, but i'm just more on the look out for side effects.

2:03 am

rubyfoo

rbud: is there such a thing as straining an eye muscle from using the computer?

2:03 am

rbud

don't know, I wonder!

2:04 am

hurshy

i don't think it's that rbud it feels more inside than that if that makes any sense

2:04 am

hurshy

you can definitely strain your eyes from using the computer but if you mean more like a muscle near the eye or something then i don't know.

2:05 am

lynxxx

Hello everyone

2:05 am

Kazzer99

fireworks for me - thanks for all the help - see you soon

2:05 am

rbud

sometimes it even feels like a rib is out of place, I went to the chiro a few weeks back for a working-over, helped a lot.

2:05 am

rubyfoo

this is on top of the eye, under the eyebrow. feels like there's a finger stuck up in there sometimes

2:05 am

rubyfoo

2:05 am

rbud

yay, Kaz!

2:05 am

flosey

hi lynn

2:05 am

hurshy

hello lynxxx, welcome to the layman's diagnosis hour.

2:06 am

rubyfoo

lovely to have a medical consult in the morning!!

2:08 am

lynxxx

Hurshy - not wanting to suggest it but I had a sudden attack of pleurisy once. Apparently that is an inflammation in the lungs which causes the (inflated) lung to touch the ribs when you breathe. It was more than a bit painful and you would know if you had that but maybe it is something along those lines

2:09 am

hurshy

well if it gets worse i would certainly call the nurse but i think it is going away i think ruby's gas guess may have been correct.

2:09 am

rubyfoo

I hope you feel better fast!!

2:10 am

rubyfoo

does bringing your knees up ease it?

2:10 am

hurshy

mmm, maybe?

2:10 am

hurshy

i think the fact that i can't even tell if i'm still feeling it is a good sign.

2:12 am

flosey

13 to go but must get to bed. goodnight all, Hurshy, hope you're feeling better soon

2:12 am

hurshy

thank you flosey, goodnight

2:12 am

lynxxx

goodnite Flosey

2:12 am

rubyfoo

good night flosey

2:18 am

hurshy

the ght being gth and thus not useful is bugging me

2:27 am

rbud

mi 5, haha, kitty sound, m + lotsa vowels - always think it's funny to find the variations of "meow"

2:28 am

hurshy

my kittens have different ways of saying it

2:28 am

hurshy

sometimes i call cinder a communist kitty cause she says "mao"

2:28 am

hurshy

and sometimes it's just "ow"

2:28 am

rbud

haha! we have one cat who is very talky, he'll just chat away with me.

2:29 am

hurshy

and then marty is so expressively pathetic with his.

2:29 am

hurshy

mitten likes to talk when she's got a toy in her mouth, a sort of song of triumph. i killed it, i've killed it!

2:30 am

rbud

the other boy says almost nothing, it's always a big surprise to hear even a tiny "mew" out of him.

2:32 am

hurshy

cinder goes away from us and says things that seem to imply she's lonely. so we're like, just come back then silly.

2:32 am

rbud

they are both fixed males, but the "pink" one, as we call him, greets the black one like a long lost pal after the slightest of separations, runs up to him, meow, meow, lick the ears - he's odd. the black one yawns and takes it all in stride.

2:33 am

rbud

oh, yes, pinky does that, too, goes off to another room and cries like he's lost, haha.

2:34 am

hurshy

:)

2:35 am

rbud

pinky just showed up one day, declawed and fixed already - no one ever claimed him, so we let him adopt us. he's quite the mouser even with no front claws.

2:36 am

rbud

I often think he's one of our own kittens from way back, he's just the color our old calico used to have. so maybe the place was familiar to him.

2:37 am

rbud

sort of a pale peachy color, not yellow.

2:38 am

rbud

(nattering along to myself, haha!) ;p

2:39 am

hurshy

sounds pretty

2:44 am

hurshy

i wonder if they sell non-carbonated ginger ale.

2:44 am

hurshy

i feel like maybe it exists but is called something else that isn't occurring to me.

2:46 am

rbud

not sure, never heard of such a thing myself, but sounds possible.

2:48 am

rbud

there's ginger tea, I know.

2:54 am

rbud

yay, fireworks! (had to list for the last 11)

2:54 am

rbud

anyone here want hints before I poof?

2:57 am

rbud

guess not, night all! :)

Scrabbler

Are you usually up this early, Aloy?

5:54 am

doseffing

5:54 am

Aloyisius

5:54 am

Aloyisius

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh. It was minus 5 when I went to bed. Now 10.

5:55 am

Scrabbler

Did you cover plants?

5:55 am

Aloyisius

brought a bunch inside, covered a bunch.. it is the grove that concerns us

5:55 am

Aloyisius

28 deg for four hours = damage to crop

5:55 am

doseffing

... Did you get hit with much snow Scrabbler? We have none at all on the north shore of Lake ONtario.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

Yes. It can cause economic devastation.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

we have about a foot here and will get more each day through at least Sunday

5:57 am

Aloyisius

oh wow.. hope you have good snow tires

5:57 am

Scrabbler

All-season tires on a Subaru.

5:58 am

Aloyisius

love Subarus, friend has one but I don't.. do you love yours?

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Top row is grey. I'm good.

5:58 am

Aloyisius

wahoo, good start

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Yep, 2005 Forester with 143K miles. I keep my cars til close to 200K and may go right past that, if I can.

5:59 am

swmbo

Morning! Question: how can a person be gormless when gorm isn't a word?

5:59 am

Aloyisius

excellent !

5:59 am

swmbo

toth

5:59 am

Aloyisius

swmbo, I am clueless

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Hi swmbo. Where is the word gormless?

6:00 am

Aloyisius

can't find it either

6:00 am

swmbo

Me too, the world is too mysterious for me alas!

6:00 am

doseffing

... yes ... but gorm is there ... it just doesn't count

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Hey, there is a Qu tile. I am waking up here.

6:01 am

swmbo

well, I haven't actually looked it up, but I have heard it used many times to describe a simple, naive person. Of British origin I think

6:01 am

swmbo

Nono, the owrd gormless is not in today's grid, sorry for the confusion

6:01 am

Scrabbler

"Special Edition" on NBC--Election 2012.... Settle down, people. Please.

6:02 am

Aloyisius

oh for heaven's sake.. just saw the gu6 pig, and my daughter used to have one named "nutmeg" as a pet..

6:02 am

Scrabbler

TY for Nutmeg.

6:03 am

Aloyisius

yw... she wanted nutmeg to have an exercise pen in the summer, so she built one.. all was well until she forgot nutmeg was out there.. the raccoon discovered dessert waiting for it..

6:04 am

Scrabbler

I so dislike listening to politicians. So much BS.

6:04 am

Aloyisius

amen to that Scrabbs

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Oh, NO, Aloy. SO sad.

6:04 am

Aloyisius

yes, it was a horrific learning experience..

6:05 am

Aloyisius

sorry to throw cold water in the chog.. blame it on the grid word

6:05 am

Scrabbler

BRB, must grab yogurt.

6:07 am

Aloyisius

kitty cat talk is in the grid

6:12 am

Scrabbler

Back. Got text from nanny for Mary's kids.

6:12 am

Aloyisius

hope all is well with them?

6:13 am

Scrabbler

That word always trips me up--which vowels.

6:14 am

Scrabbler

Elizabeth got sick before dinner-headache, fever. I gave her Tylenol before I left. She is better now but not OK for school. Nauseous. And John finished the Lego project we were working on so he had the nanny send me a photo of the finished project.

6:14 am

Aloyisius

aww, wish they were closer for you..

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Yep. Then I would see them more than once a week. John wanted me to sleep over so we could keep working on his Lego City project. It's once of those huge projects. He loves Legos, as do I.

6:17 am

Aloyisius

do you like the nanny?

6:17 am

Scrabbler

And I kinda wanted to sleep in E's room overnight to watch and comfort her because that's what Mary would have done.

6:18 am

Scrabbler

The nanny is outstanding. 33, former 1st grade teacher. Mature and great teacher of respectful and responsible behavior. And she will have her first baby next July. It will be a younger "sibling" for the kids. They are excited.

6:19 am

Aloyisius

ah, so glad to hear that..

6:21 am

Scrabbler

The nanny lives several blocks away. She is the niece of friend of Mary's.

6:22 am

Aloyisius

thank goodness for her.. how is the dad doing?

6:24 am

Aloyisius

omigosh.. fw

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Tough, stoic, in-control MD. Not a nurturing, affectionate father, but does focus on them making good choices.

6:24 am

Scrabbler

Congrats! I am stuck with 54 to find. I guess they are there.

6:26 am

doseffing

... at least 22 of them are

6:26 am

Aloyisius

yup, you will enjoy this grid.. guess I'd better get dressed and go out to check the grove.. sun is up.. hagd, Scrabbs (-: .. and you too, doseffing, if you are still here.. ah there you are.. ciao for now!

6:26 am

Scrabbler

I will check on FL weather through the day.

6:28 am

Scrabbler

And I must get ready for work. Bye.

Good Morning Everybody! Hoow are you all this fine morning?

9:47 am

crosshair

howdy nef:))

9:48 am

Nef

How are you today, crossy? Am I reading that it's cold there?

9:48 am

crosshair

was well below minus 25 yeasterday but we are waaay up to minus 10 atm

9:49 am

SamanthaJoy

That's not weather, that's a punishment.

9:49 am

Nef

(C) or (F)?

9:50 am

crosshair

lol samantha,punishment is below minus 40,you have to breathe in thru your nose and out of the mouth or you frost your lungs and if you spit,it will freeze before it hits the ground

9:50 am

crosshair

once below minus 40,it does not matter much nef lol

9:51 am

Nef

-25C is around -10 F; -10C is around 14F

9:51 am

Mask-and-Mirror

They meet at -40, interestingly

9:51 am

crosshair

if you do not have good winter tyres,below minus 40,they will get a flat spot and ypu will have to drive slow till they warm up lol

9:51 am

crosshair

they do indeed mask

9:51 am

Nef

I know, crossy, -40 is the same on both scales. (I moved south to the Twin Cities to get out of that weather!)

9:52 am

crosshair

my brother is in vegas now

9:52 am

crosshair

was 5 years in costa rica then picks vegas to live

9:52 am

crosshair

go figure

9:53 am

Nef

My DH keeps reminding me that if we move that far south the bugs are much bigger; so we stay here in MN. :-)

9:54 am

crosshair

lol nef,bugs are not an issue for me at the moment:))

9:54 am

Nef

very true, crossy. That's another good thing about living here in the north: no bugs for half the year

9:55 am

crosshair

but funny enough nef,you go further north of me,north of the tree line and into the tundra,in the summer there all the bugs come out of the muskeg and eat you alive

9:56 am

remluc

***Butting in**** Nef - I'm in North Dakota! We're practically neighbors. :) ha!

9:56 am

crosshair

carlee is the closest babbler to me

9:57 am

Nef

where in NoDak are you remluc? I went to ND for my nursing school (sadly, it closed in 1970); and I have family in MT so I sometimes think I know every ND and SD town there is!

9:59 am

remluc

I'm in Grand Forks. Home of the most fun nickname debate in the world. :\

10:01 am

Nef

YAY, Grand Forks! That's where my nursing school was based! And I worked there in the old St. Pat's Hospital for a year right out of school too! I'm from 50 miles east of there originally.

10:01 am

Nef

How's the debate going (I SO wish they could keep the Souix name!)

10:02 am

Nef

Okay, I can't spell it right this AM: Soux, Sioux, Soiux?

10:03 am

remluc

The debate is constant and so annoying. People are really getting out of hand, on both sides if you ask me. For me, I'd like to see it change so we can move past it and come together. There's a lot of hurtful things being said and I just hate that.

10:03 am

remluc

Sioux

10:04 am

remluc

And mostly people are mad because of the hockey arena....I don't know. I'm glad I don't have to make any of the decisions.

10:04 am

crosshair

what is the argument about?

10:06 am

Nef

some national league board won't let them have their team name anymore because it's supposed to be racist. They were/are the Sioux, or the fighting Sioux. Why can Notre Dame be the fighting Irish?

This must be a college team. The NFL still has the Redskins.

10:08 am

The local Siux tribes for many years were proud of the name; but some other tribes didn't like it in recent years

10:08 am

crosshair

i am quite sure we will do ourselves in by degrees of political correctness

10:08 am

Nef

it is a college team; it's been UND's mascot since the university started

10:09 am

remluc

I agree - it's just gotten so heated here that I don't really see any other choice but to change it. Actually, UND's first nickname (change in the 40's maybe?) was the Flickertails. LOL! FLICKERTAILS! Now that's funny.

10:10 am

Nef

(and I attended UND as part of my nursing program even though we were a private Catholic School)

10:10 am

Nef

Flickertails? I'd never heard that before! WOW!

10:11 am

lbdawger

i'm reminded of a story told to me by my mentor about political correctness...She had to get a message to a keynote speaker in Ohio. She sent her secretary who had no idea who the man was. Instead of describing him as a handsome black man, she described his as a tall man with dark complexion. Had she said he's Black, the message would have gotten to him in no time, instead of moments before he spoke!

10:11 am

i avoid all stores that do not have the balls to post christmas banners or ads,if it is all happy hollidays,i take my money elsewhere

10:11 am

remluc

Yes, Flickertails. :) I believe they should just go back to that. Can you imagine? The Flickertails versus the Badgers. LOL

10:12 am

SamanthaJoy

Really? I enjoy having my holidays at least acknowledged. I imagine lots of non-Christians feel the same way.

10:12 am

Nef

LOL! Why not, then!

here is one,no longer can that metal lid in the ground be called a MANhole cover..now it is a maintenence access porthole...now that wants me to laugh till they take me away

10:13 am

Erda

It could be Beavers...

10:14 am

Nef

Erda, is that a college team name?

10:14 am

Erda

No, but I fancied "Flickertails vs. Beavers" --

10:14 am

sallyds

What's wrong with happy holidays? There are four holidays in late December (three religious and one ethnic group). Which one is to be chosen as the most important by people who need to sell you something?

10:15 am

Nef

LOL!

our national animal is the beaver,guess with will have to change it to buck toothed rodent

I've always thought that the Sioux mascot was presented in apositive way; the actual symbols have always been dignified, etc.

10:24 am

YAY, hurshy!

10:25 am

Nef

remluc, I just Googled it; it looks really nasty! I was up in GF in October (and will be up there again in April for sure) and read some of the news about it at that time. It looks even nastier now!

10:26 am

bichon

Hurshy, do you live in New Haven, CT?

10:26 am

Nef

hurshy, is your throat feeling lots better? Are you eating soft solids now?

10:30 am

uusue2

ok, I am very intermittent here, have internet access for the first time in a couple of days (at the newlyweds' apartment!)

10:30 am

Nef

hi sue! How are you doing?

10:31 am

uusue2

I have been having a fabulous time, nef!

10:31 am

uusue2

We are heading to the airport in another few hours...

10:32 am

uusue2

(I am sick - really sore throat - but am ignoring it until I get home...)

10:32 am

Nef

Are you coming back to the US now?

10:33 am

uusue2

Yes, we will be home tomorrow afternoon

10:34 am

Nef

well, take lost of vit. C asnd zinc lozenges on your flight, and use the saline nasal spray frequently to keep your nasal passages moist (to decrease the possibility of getting "really" sick in the dry air in the plane

10:35 am

uusue2

I have been gobbling vitamin C like crazy but don't have nasal spray or zinc lozenges

10:36 am

Nef

(It may even help you not spread an infection to other passengers)

10:37 am

Nef

see if you can find some at the airport if you can't get to a pharmacy before then

10:37 am

uusue2

I'm not very stuffed up (and not "runny" at all), have a little dry cough sometimes but that's about it - I don't think I'm too contagious to anyone that I'm not in direct oral contact with (that is, don't kiss me!)

10:38 am

uusue2

I'll take a look when we get to the airport but I don't know if any thing will be open - we get there around 9 pm, plane leaves at 6 am

10:39 am

Nef

LOL! I'm just thinking that the dry air in an airplane can make you a lot sicker by drying out your nasal passages. I was just reading about flu viruses etc. and saw that it helps to keep them moist and

10:40 am

uusue2

the weather here is pretty dry anyway so probably my nose isn't going to get much drier (it is the desert after all...)

10:40 am

Nef

that the Vit. C and Zinc Lozenges are very helpful at the beginning symptoms of any cold

10:41 am

uusue2

unfortunately I didn't get the vitamin C until the cold was well under way - I suspect now it's not doing much except making me feel like I'm doing something

10:41 am

Nef

I never think about it being the desert there

10:42 am

bichon

It is pretty much a desert. There's a rainy season, Nov-Marcch, but the rest of the year, no rain at all

10:42 am

uusue2

at the kibbutz where the wedding was held, they get 15 mm of rain per year - that's a little more than half an inch.

10:42 am

Nef

well, the best I can say then is take care of yourself. I hope you have a good flight; how long is it?

10:43 am

uusue2

about 4 hours to Paris, then a 2-hour layover, then another 8 or 9 hours to Chicago

10:43 am

Nef

Wow! Never having been anywhere; I guess I always think of Israel as having a temperate climate

10:44 am

Nef

At least you have a break in that long flight, sue

10:44 am

bichon

It's very hot in the Spring- Early Fall and the winter is cooler and rainier

10:44 am

uusue2

the southern part is very dry desert; the north is, well, Mediterranean (literally!)

10:46 am

bichon

I live in Ara [not far from the Dead Sea] for a year. Very dry, couldn't get used to it

10:46 am

Nef

It makes me wonder why they have fought over that area for so many centuries...

10:46 am

bichon

*Arad

10:47 am

bichon

Religion is the key word. And even though it is dry, the Israeli's have made great use of irrigation

10:48 am

Nef

it's so sad that we fight over religion, isn't it?

10:49 am

bichon

It's a repeatable pattern Nef

"All the system's paths must be topologically and circularly interrelated for conceptually definitive, locally transformable, polyhedronal understanding to be attained in our spontaneous -- ergo, most economical -- geodesiccally structured thoughts." -- R.

basically i thing it means "i think,therefor i am"

I was going to say that's a very roundabout way of saying "it's all relative".

Glantarell

1:51 pm

Jindigo

Thanks Ursh and Molly

1:53 pm

amelu0218

did you get the 6/27? Personally, I'd start it out with a C for the game...

1:53 pm

MollyL

Tennis???

1:54 pm

amelu0218

no, the C uses mallets...

1:54 pm

Nef

I got it, amelu; just looked up the definition and I agree; it needs a C in front of it

1:55 pm

Jindigo

1:55 pm

MollyL

What you would use for tennis was the earlier clue, the fog is clearing.

1:55 pm

amelu0218

hi again all! in the airport...

4:39 pm

jmcnrick

on your way home?

4:40 pm

uusue2

we are indeed!

4:41 pm

uusue2

although we can't check in for our flight for another hour and 20 minutes, and it doesn't leave for another 4 hours after that...

4:43 pm

jmcnrick

geez why did you get to the airport so early then?

4:43 pm

jmcnrick

thought you would be qu7 all day?

4:43 pm

uusue2

b/c the flight leaves at 6 am, we'd have to be here no later than 3 am

4:44 pm

uusue2

and someone else had a 12:30 am flight so we came with him, got here around 10:30 pm

4:44 pm

jmcnrick

really? bummer--at least you should be able to sleep on the flight

4:44 pm

uusue2

this way no one has to drive us in the middle of the night

4:44 pm

uusue2

we were at the newlyweds' place - the other traveler was his uncle - they drove all three of us to the airport

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

oic that makes sense--i did that once when i flew in at 11 and my flight was at 6 am--didn't seem worth getting a hotel

4:45 pm

jmcnrick

well that was very nice of the newlyweds!

4:45 pm

uusue2

indeed - alternative would have been to get a taxi to a train but at 2 am in a country where I don't even know the alphabet, never mind the language, that didn't sound like something I wanted to do

4:46 pm

jmcnrick

yikes! yeah traveling where there is no english (or whatever it is) alphabet is dicey

10-20 of the immediate family traveled with them through Israel after the wedding - didn't seem to faze them (indeed we all had a wonderful time)

4:47 pm

jmcnrick

nice--probably still seemed like a party

4:47 pm

uusue2

of course they've been living together for years...

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

the couple? clearly not orthodox!

4:48 pm

uusue2

it has been an amazing trip - I have hundreds of pictures and thousands of memories

4:48 pm

uusue2

no, reform

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

nice i am glad you got to go

4:48 pm

uusue2

so I have pictures of the whole ceremony

4:49 pm

uusue2

my son came with me - it was wonderful for him - he has such a sense of family now

4:49 pm

jmcnrick

good he had a tough year this sounds like a good end

4:50 pm

Nef

hi, I'm back again. sue, it sounds like a wonderful trip; the trip of a lifetime!

4:50 pm

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

hi bye nef

4:51 pm

Nef

bye jmc

4:51 pm

uusue2

indeed it was, nef!

4:53 pm

Nef

will you post some of them in your profile, or on FB?

4:53 pm

uusue2

they are all on FB

4:54 pm

MollyL

Nef, I am putting you in time out for moving furniture. Please ask for help with things like that. (Said with love)

4:54 pm

Nef

Wow! You've been posting them as you took them then!~

4:56 pm

Nef

Molly, DH just had knee surgery for 2 torn meniscus cartilages in his right knee. If he was home; he'd try to do it. I was just moving a couple of hope chests (empty ones) and a dresser (which was on wheels); so it wasn't that big of a deal. DH would have tried to help and then kept going!

4:56 pm

uusue2

yes, I uploaded them from my phone to my computer, and then to FB whenever I could get a wireless connection

4:57 pm

Nef

that's amazing to me that you've done that so fast, sue.

4:58 pm

uusue2

I am SO wired :-)

4:58 pm

Nef

(I'm the person with wedding pictures from 2 years ago that I still have to give to my friend!)

4:58 pm

MollyL

Yes Nef, and who just recently had hip surgery, hmmm?
You need to be good to yourself.

4:58 pm

uusue2

it is SO much easier when they are digital!

5:00 pm

MollyL

than

5:00 pm

Nef

Molly, I had hip surgery back in July; I've been given permission to do whatever I want -except fall!- by the surgeon. All of the furniture was on the same level of the house too

5:00 pm

uusue2

and HOW did I miss that one, molly???

5:00 pm

Nef

thanks for the clue, Molly! I missed that too!

5:01 pm

MollyL

I'm going to the PB, I hope there is grain alcohol in there because it's been that kind of day.

5:02 pm

uusue2

I have some nice date liqueur from a kibbutz in the Negev, molly, how would that be?

5:03 pm

Nef

(((Molly))) you need to care for yourself too!

5:11 pm

uusue2

ti7/36?

5:16 pm

Nef

MS Turner's 1st name + 1st part of Disney's Mickey's Last name

5:16 pm

uusue2

ha, morewords got it for me. fireworks!!!

5:16 pm

uusue2

and thanks, nef!

5:17 pm

Nef

YAY, sue!!!! WTG!!! (now what will you do til your plane leaves?)

5:17 pm

uusue2

sleep?

5:18 pm

Nef

Good Luck! :-) It's not always easy to do in an airport

5:18 pm

uusue2

actually I am chatting with my son...

5:18 pm

Nef

Much better plan!

5:18 pm

uusue2

except now he is planning on sleeping on the floor, so I will read or something

5:21 pm

Nef

I spent a night at Dulles in 2006 during a heavy rain. I was on crutches; and EVERYTHING closed down after 11 or 12MN. There wasn't a change machine or coffee machine or anything working after that

5:22 pm

Nef

The floor zamboni cleaners came through somewhere around 2 or 3 AM, just as I'd finally fallen asleep

5:23 pm

uusue2

ah well, here the cafes and the candy store and the book store and the jewelry store are still open

5:23 pm

uusue2

and once we get through security there are more stores which I suspect will also be open

5:23 pm

uusue2

Swarovski crystal closed at 1 am, though...

5:27 pm

Nef

what time is it there?

5:28 pm

uusue2

1:30 am

5:28 pm

uusue2

at 2 we can check in for the flight and go through security

5:29 pm

Nef

it sounds like they may stay awake better that Dulles International Airport then! :-)

5:29 pm

Nef

Not til 2 AM? Wow.

5:29 pm

uusue2

yes, with the early flights and intense security they pretty much have to

5:30 pm

uusue2

and it is purely an international airport, which makes a difference too, I think

5:31 pm

Nef

I suppose they have heavier security there because of the political and religious state of the Middle East

5:31 pm

uusue2

yes, El Al security is legendary (and the legends are true, in my experience)

5:32 pm

Nef

at least you're safe!

5:34 pm

uusue2

indeed we are!

5:36 pm

uusue2

and the area around the kibbutz is particularly safe (far southern Israel) - early on there was a skirmish with the Jordanians, and in retaliation the Israelis closed the Red Sea ports - Jordan is otherwise landlocked and depends on that port so they have been careful to keep things on an even keel since then

5:37 pm

uusue2

Israel has ports on the Mediterranean as well but the Red Sea access is also very important to them, so it is in everyone's best interest to keep that area peaceful

5:37 pm

uusue2

(this is the story we got when we were there, anyway, and it seems to be accurate as far as I can tell)

5:38 pm

Nef

sounds very interesting. I'm not sure that I'd be brave enough to go there right now though

5:39 pm

uusue2

well, I trust my relatives who live here, and they seem to know where to go and not to go

5:39 pm

uusue2

although I did get a little worried about my son when he and the other cousins went to a bar that was right on the Lebanese border - that area has been calm recently too, though

5:42 pm

Nef

Good thing! (I'm afraid my son would be the one to stir stuff up, so I'm glad it wasn't him!)

5:42 pm

Nef

his mouth goes before his brain is activated sometimes

5:45 pm

uusue2

my son is actually pretty sensitive

5:47 pm

Nef

that's good in that type of a situation. My son is very caring and sensitive; but (as I said) his mouth spouts off before he thinks sometimes

5:52 pm

Nef

I need to fix supper. You have a good trip, sue; sleep now if you can after you get through security.

5:54 pm

uusue2

ok, take care, nef!

geesue,i didnoteven think to ask you to look upmychildhood playmates while you were there. I've been unable to find them via the net.

6:10 pm

72 Temple Owl

and hi all

6:19 pm

MollyL

Hi TO

6:20 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi molly

6:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

this is a little beast

6:33 pm

MollyL

I've only been able to pick at it a little at a time since it was a day from hell at work.

6:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

ooh sorry

6:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

i am trying my .89 loaf of 12grain bread arnold copycat i bought at aldi this week.

6:35 pm

MollyL

Thanks. I should have expected it. My boss is going on vacation tomorrow and I was pretty sure he would pull some last minute, BS stuff, which he did. It's over. And he's gone for a week. YAY!!!!!!!

6:35 pm

MollyL

How is the bread?

6:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

yay for bosses' vacations!

6:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

it is betterin a sandwich thann plain, perhaps because i had organic twelve grain before it.l when i have full fat cheese vice half fat,if no comparison i would not even notice

6:37 pm

72 Temple Owl

have not tried toasted, most whole grain is best that way imo

6:37 pm

MollyL

How do you like Aldi? I've heard good and bad things about it.

6:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

we had usedit 15 years ago+ for the rolls for our work picnic, they were fine and very cost efficient. they would order them for us fresh vice going to the wonder store for offlloads.

6:40 pm

MollyL

So it's better for bulk buying?

6:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

i have liked everything i have bought there: cornbread crackers (best), spring mix, onions@3lb for .99, baby carrots were .59 for months, i also got brave and tried the turkey italian sausage it was really good. no it is nice you do not have to buy in bulk, except for potatoesbut they comein 5and 20lb sizes

6:42 pm

MollyL

An Aldi is opening up here soon. I will probably try it for some things.

6:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

as for frozen convenience foods, i don'tuse them but they havesome interesting ones,esp desserts.

6:43 pm

MollyL

I don't do frozen convenience foods either. The only things I buy frozen are juice, spinach and ice cream.

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

thst id ehst i did, bought what was intereting noneseentials and what was a good buy like the onions and carrots. I do not have tomgo out of my way, i pass it.

6:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

soryy sticky keyboard

6:45 pm

72 Temple Owl

they have not been able to get the sausage for months. i was so leery of it i had it in the freezer for a month and when i triedit there was no more. that happens, some stuff is short term stock

6:46 pm

MollyL

Some stores are like that. They buy in bulk and when they run out, it's a while before they get it again.

6:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

trader joes.it can be maddening.

6:48 pm

MollyL

Never been there either.

6:49 pm

72 Temple Owl

since quaker polluted/improvedtheir maple oatmeal, i switched to tj sand i love it

6:50 pm

72 Temple Owl

however, i pass all of these places ont he way to work. so i can afford to cherry pick

6:53 pm

MollyL

Isn't Trader Joe's expensive?

6:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

depends. the oatmeal was2.49 for a tenpouch box.

6:54 pm

72 Temple Owl

however, for nuts they are great also forcheese

6:54 pm

MollyL

That's not bad.

6:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

for baking nuts they are the best

6:57 pm

72 Temple Owl

however they do prompt impulse buying. they have neatstuff. i boight a gruyere caramelized onion and ham flatbread.great appetizer

6:58 pm

MollyL

I'll have to remember that.

6:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

well just imo.def cheaprethan whole foods but the invenotry intersects not overlaps

7:09 pm

MollyL

Whole Foods is too pricey for me.

7:11 pm

72 Temple Owl

forme aswell.y firneds dosay they will never cook thanksgiving again, they get it there. they say the holiay mac & cheese is the best. for two, makes sense

7:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

and the husband cooks some stuff,so they are not people who cannot cook at all. they buy all o f their meet there.

7:12 pm

MollyL

I work with a woman who shops exclusively at Whole Foods (don't ask me why because she eats out and orders in all the time) and supports a non-working boyfriend, then whines and says she has no money. Gee, I wonder why.

7:13 pm

72 Temple Owl

when we were living in the hotel on work assignment, folks often used their hot food bar

7:14 pm

MollyL

I would try a Thanksgiving like that if it were only two of us. But for my clan, it would probably be too expensive.

7:16 pm

IndiaJan

whole foods have some great stuff for sure

7:18 pm

MollyL

For Peach and MagMom, a verse from John O'Donohue's "Beannacht"...
May the nourishment of the earth be yours,
may the clarity of light be yours,
may the fluency of the ocean be yours,
may the protection of the ancestors be yours.
And so may a slow
wind work these words
of love around you,
an invisible cloak
to mind your life.

I have 6 words left to find

10:11 pm

Jacula

Just ask for clues, if you need any gemini.

10:13 pm

gemini_J13

I need an A and an R word ~ bottom first column

10:13 pm

gemini_J13

m, a , e at bottom of 2, 3 4 columns

10:14 pm

gemini_J13

10:14 pm

am5/12 = a + the boss is the m*** man.

10:15 pm

have that one

10:16 pm

Nef

WTG, Jen!!! YAY!!!

10:16 pm

gemini_J13

I don't know how you tell the first 2 letters,, how many letters, how many points?

10:16 pm

Jacula

ma6/21 - a supernatural being.

10:16 pm

Jacula

gemini - I've got to guess since you can't be specific with stats.

10:16 pm

gemini_J13

I don't know where you find the stats?

10:16 pm

Shirlockc

en6?

10:17 pm

Jacula

gemini - read the 'help' section above the chog for explanation of how to do the stats.

10:17 pm

Nef

go to the Friends of Babble below the grid and find Lickety's Babble CLues

10:17 pm

gemini_J13

I have tile stats and word stats... I have read that

10:17 pm

jesdraggon

evening all

10:18 pm

gemini_J13

ahhh that 's probably it Nef... thanks

10:18 pm

Jacula

Shirlock - en6 - to love. You might become en6ed of an object or a person and have a crush on them?

10:18 pm

Jacula

Hi Jess.

10:18 pm

thx jac!

10:18 pm

10:19 pm

Jacula

gemini - hope you find what you seek now.

10:20 pm

Nef

Gemini, for Newbies, first read the Help box (right above the chat log); then I like to refer you to AngelSong's Babble Page (down below the grid again). That really helps first; Lickety's page is sometimes not up for the day lately. All of the people who do these pages do it for free;

10:22 pm

jesdraggon

10:23 pm

Keep going, jess.

10:23 pm

I found Lickety's page,,, that seems like a LOT of help.... I read the help here... I understand that,,, just didn't know where you found the first 2 letters... got it now...

10:23 pm

Shirlockc

ti7?

10:24 pm

Nef

26 left and I have to list now.

10:24 pm

Jacula

gemini - you'll also sometimes find list/stats in bios on the chog. That's the first 2 letters of a word and the stats.

10:25 pm

Nef

singer Ms Turner + the first half of Disney's Mickey's last name

10:26 pm

Shirlockc

just cheated with morewords and got it

10:26 pm

Shirlockc

but thx nef

10:26 pm

Jacula

ti7, Shirlock, is a bird like a grouse from Central and Southern America. An anagram of 'in am out' or, failing that, a big hill like Everest without its last letter.

10:27 pm

Jacula

Nef - your clue was simpler. LOL. I always seem to take the roundabout way of clueing!

10:27 pm

10:29 pm

Bugsaw

*shuffles off to the penalty box*

10:29 pm

Jacula

jess - ROFLOL!

10:30 pm

Jacula

Bug - there might still be a few stale mincepies in the PB.

10:30 pm

Bugsaw

I love it when others do that for me but it is so embarrassing

10:30 pm

Bugsaw

so glad Jacula. Nothing but stale Christmas cookies left here.

10:30 pm

Nef

You do some good clueing, Bugs! ;-)

10:31 pm

Jacula

Bug - not as embarrassing as if you'd typed a rude word in upper case (which people sometimes do).

10:31 pm

Bugsaw

hee hee Nef. I just came back from having a rest and did not check where the cursor was

10:31 pm

Nef

I restocked the PB with fudge earlier today and didn't eat any of it

10:32 pm

Nef

one night at flip, I think I entered 10 words before I realized I was in the chat box.

10:32 pm

Bugsaw

I have been back at school for 2 days and everyday gremlins sneek in and leave choclates and treats. It is such a temptation!

10:32 pm

Jacula

I think I saw half a bottle of flat champagne in the PB fridge.

10:33 pm

Nef

I was typing as fast as I could... Not good when you look at the grid and your keyboard and not what you typed

10:33 pm

Bugsaw

*rummages in the fridge for rum and eggnog instead*

10:33 pm

Jacula

No rum in the fridge, Bug. Renfield was in earlier and she would have drunk all that.

10:34 pm

jesdraggon

half way

10:35 pm

Bugsaw

it's ok . i plan to be out as soon as I stop talking lol

10:35 pm

Jacula

LOL, Bug.

10:37 pm

herinfernallady

Hi. did I miss Renni? Sad Panda face

10:38 pm

Jacula

Hi Herin. Yes, but so did I. She was telling everyone how she behaves herself if I'm in the chog (since I am her boss) but if I'm not... and, since I wasn't, I'll bet she drank all of the rum!;-)

10:39 pm

herinfernallady

I dont think madam Ren knows the meaning of the word

10:39 pm

Jacula

SWMBO was in here a couple of days ago, too. Not seen her for years!

10:39 pm

Jacula

Herin - which word? 'behave'?

10:39 pm

herinfernallady

poot. I missed everyone. Yep behave

10:41 pm

Jacula

Herin - I missed them, too. I only saw because I checked back on the chog. I don't always do that but have been doing for the past few days.

10:41 pm

herinfernallady

My cat so does not take a hint

10:41 pm

Jacula

And the hint is...?

10:42 pm

herinfernallady

Stop slurping and eating yourself on the coffee table while I am trying to eat breakfast. (yes I got up at 3pm)

10:42 pm

jesdraggon

phantom angina

10:42 pm

Jacula

Oh I hate it when cats do that! Yes, it's very off-putting.

10:43 pm

herinfernallady

Slurrrrrrrrrrrrp slurp slurp. Ewww

10:43 pm

Jacula

Jess - an7.40 comes close.

10:43 pm

herinfernallady

She has been poked half a dozen times with a remote and still ignores me

10:44 pm

jesdraggon

yes, found that. was trying to get the 6 after it, thinking it might be related... turns out to just be fluffy instead.

10:44 pm

Jacula

try the hard poke with your big toe encased in a slipper. Poke then move the foot upwards in a rapid fashion.:-)

10:45 pm

herinfernallady

It doesn't work Jac. She is just annoying. probably warm. Lucius was a bed bug this mornign

10:45 pm

Jacula

Kicking her off the table doesn't work?

10:46 pm

herinfernallady

Did that she got back up and flopped on the corner. the glass is cool

10:47 pm

herinfernallady

hi jess and thanks for those 2 words

10:48 pm

Jacula

Growing up, I used to live next door to a girl who would sit at the open part of the fence on the patio eating with her mouth open, with all the accompanying noises, and staring at me. I used to hang a blanket over the fence so I at least couldn't see her!

10:48 pm

herinfernallady

She wasnt special in any way?

10:50 pm

Jacula

She wasn't exactly an umpleasant girl - she'd offer you a lick of her icecream or take a well-sucked sweet out of her mouth and offer it to you. No, she wasn't 'special' - just hadn't been taught any different. The family of 4 shared one toothbrush between them.

10:51 pm

herinfernallady

O ok. it just sounds like something my friends kid would have done as a boy

10:51 pm

Jacula

Speaking of the word 'special' and how it's come to mean something else, just like 'gay' has... the buzzword on this year's Christmas cards for relatives etc., seemed to be 'special' and so I avoided buying any.

10:51 pm

Jacula

uNpleasant, I meant!

10:53 pm

Jacula

She also had a sinus problem and had 'yellow candles' streaming from each nostril. Sometimes runny, sometimes dried out on her upper lip. BLEURGH!

10:53 pm

herinfernallady

See the thing is I personally dont find using the word special to describe someone as a bad thinng.. I would say individual but most wouldnt get that

10:53 pm

herinfernallady

So the kid was more raised by wolves then

10:54 pm

Jacula

Herin - not exactly but something like that. LOL

10:56 pm

Jacula

'special' in UK is used by the younger age group to describe someone who is mentally challenged in some way.

10:57 pm

Jacula

This is only a recent thing, brought about by all the PC nonsense over the past decade.

10:57 pm

herinfernallady

Jac it is here too but i never seemed to associate it with a negative. I have no idea why

10:58 pm

herinfernallady

Did you read a so called study about jamie Olivers cook book and how one recipe is worse than a Mac Donalds Burger?

10:59 pm

Jacula

http://tinyurl.com/6yw8jg

10:59 pm

Jacula

Brass in Pocket (1979) by The Pretenders would mean something else entirely now!

11:00 pm

Jacula

Herin - re the cookbook. No, I didn't. Where was that?

11:03 pm

Jacula

Jamie doesn't advocate that you should NEVER eat fatty food or fast food - just that it should not form the main part of your diet.

11:03 pm

mi5,14 please?

11:09 pm

Jacula

I've got the article now and read it. Once thing the US attackers seem to have forgotten, aside from what I said about high calorie/high fat etc., not forming the main part of your diet, is portion sizes. They are much smaller here in UK and also include fresh steamed vegetables.

11:10 pm

11:11 pm

y/w, jess.

11:12 pm

Jacula

Herin - the pheasant casserole is a case in point. It's not something you'd eat more than once a year.

11:12 pm

jesdraggon

qu7,52?

11:13 pm

Jacula

jes - standing in line.

11:13 pm

jesdraggon

so... haven't read the book, dunno who the chef is, don't really care about the argument, but... why is pheasant something you'd only eat rarely?

11:13 pm

Jacula

waiting to be served

11:14 pm

jesdraggon

thanks

11:14 pm

Jacula

jes - because it's a game bird that can only be shot between August - December.

11:14 pm

Jacula

y/w re qu7, jes.

11:15 pm

jesdraggon

yah... but you get more than one bird in a hunting season. we used to have quite the trade in pheasant amongst my classmates.

11:15 pm

herinfernallady

Jac apparently a serve for 4 is a serve is one

11:15 pm

Jacula

Game meat is also very expensive.

11:15 pm

Jacula

Herin - LOL!

11:16 pm

jesdraggon

not if you hunt it yourself, or your family does.

11:17 pm

jesdraggon

perhaps I'll get classed as redneck here, but I eat venison year round, and elk also.

11:17 pm

jesdraggon

beef is expensive! elk is free.

11:18 pm

jesdraggon

a hunter can take a dozen pheasant; that's a dozen chickens i don't have to buy, and depending on how you cook it, at least 2 dozen meals of pheasant from those.

11:19 pm

Jacula

We watched a programme on TV the other night about a 74 stone woman who'd tried to cover up for her sister over the death of her nephew. She was such a broken and weak woman, I think I can see why she did that. However, she did tell the truth in the end and stop her sister abusing any more of her children. The woman ate about 18,000 calories a day in about 5 meals. Each plateful of tacos, wraps, burgers she ate would have been enough to share between the 4 of us here at home and we'd only eat 8,000 between all of us, 10,000 at most a day.

11:20 pm

Jacula

Jes - we have strict rules here in UK about when game can be taken.

11:21 pm

jesdraggon

We do here also. But we also have freezers.

11:21 pm

gemini_J13

there are hunting seasons here too... and licenses....

11:21 pm

herinfernallady

We have wild deer but they are full of ick

11:21 pm

jesdraggon

just because you take it in September doesn't mean you have to eat it in September.

11:21 pm

Jacula

Jes, so do we but perhaps filling them with game isn't a priority? Mine's full of home-grown fruit and veg.

11:21 pm

herinfernallady

And don't start me on the duck hunting. It is bloody wrong that yobs are allowed to shoot to kill not for food.

11:22 pm

Jacula

Herin - I LOVE roast duck. That's what we had on Christmas Day. But it was farmed duck, not wild duck. Wild duck tastes much better.

11:22 pm

jesdraggon

I'm just saying that the statement that pheasant is something nobody would eat more than once a year is perhaps not entirely true, that's all.

11:23 pm

Jacula

jes - it's true for most people in the UK, other than the monied classes (who can afford bigger freezers).

11:23 pm

rururocks

I think it would be unpleasant to eat pheasant too often.. especially if you've shot partridges with your cartridges..

11:24 pm

Bugsaw

gilbert and sullivan just showed up! hi ruru

11:24 pm

Jacula

I'm actually not that keen on game meat, other than duck or goose (which doesn't count as 'game' exactly.)

hi bugs

11:26 pm

lurking and getting very hungry..one left

11:26 pm

rururocks

I had sweet and sour pheasant at a friends once.. and you had to be careful about the buckshot

11:26 pm

jesdraggon

I wouldn't call myself especially monied, but I can afford a chest freezer... it's probably older than I am, but it'll hold a cow, a pig, an elk and various birds.

11:26 pm

Jacula

I'm not the pheasant plucker. I'm the pheasant plucker's mate. I'm only plucking pheasants 'cos the pheasant plucker's late. Try reading that out loud and reading it fast.:-)))

11:26 pm

westford

he hunts them and then cooks them up

11:27 pm

rururocks

wow

11:27 pm

Bugsaw

go westford

11:27 pm

Jacula

Jes - your chest freezers must be bigger than mine.

11:27 pm

westford

I can go no further without a little clue

11:27 pm

rururocks

whew.. I thought jac said pheasant phucker

11:27 pm

jesdraggon

and before you point out the lack of veggies, they're in the diet, but not in the freezer.

11:27 pm

westford

need ro21 please

11:28 pm

ro 6/21 that is

11:28 pm

rururocks

Yay !!! Thank you. Fire Works

11:29 pm

herinfernallady

I mean not for food

11:29 pm

West - let me know how your friend gets on with it. Are you going to teach him/her in a public place? If so, make sure you write it down so you don't have to attempt saying it in public yourself.:-)

11:41 pm

westford

good idea jac..he needs a good laugh as does she..had part of a lung removed just before Christmas

11:42 pm

Jacula

Choking with laughter might be risky then, west!

11:42 pm

westford

yeah, maybe I'll wait

11:43 pm

Jacula

Blushing is okay though.

11:43 pm

westford

we go way back..I dated his friend in high school

11:44 pm

westford

we spend Christmas Eve with the whole gang

11:45 pm

Jacula

Oh, don't talk to me about boyfriend's from way back. I've just seen up to date pics of a couple of mine from back in the 70s. One looks just the same, just slighty grey and the other looks like his face has been ravaged by a dissolute life. (They are brothers!)

11:46 pm

Nef

West - the one who is still married to the girl he went out with after I broke his heart (so I'm told) is still looking good. The other brother, with whom the relationship was not serious, did marry and had several children before his wife left him, saying he was boring (he was!).

11:48 pm

gemini_J13
