jillibus

1:13 am

flosey

me 3, waiting for hubby to give up looking for rabbits

1:14 am

flosey

they come out sometimes at night - onto the front lawn

1:14 am

jillibus

something taller than rabbits and shorter than deer are eating things in my fenced garden

1:14 am

flosey

oh dear, we are really inundated with these 'cute little varmints'

1:15 am

flosey

they have litters of 6- 8 at a time, 3, 4 times a year

1:15 am

flosey

and they are eating up our garden

1:16 am

jillibus

who the hell let them loose here? We never had them before!

1:17 am

flosey

well, some dear weaping heart rescued them from U of V

1:17 am

jillibus

stupid

1:18 am

flosey

this is first year - someone up north is selling/renting traps for them and suggesting they let them loose at Bourgoyne Bay parkland - just next to all the organic gardens to the south

1:19 am

jillibus

ohoho!

1:19 am

flosey

they just are not thinking the whole picture

1:20 am

flosey

hubby got 3 one night

1:21 am

jillibus

There was some idiot the other day on the local list asking to buy a baby bunny wabbit for her little girl. I suggested she trap one and neuter it. No response.

1:21 am

flosey

think a hawk or owl got one the other two went up to friend who cleans them and freezes them to eat

1:21 am

jillibus

Could someone set up a rabbit market and recipes?

1:22 am

flosey

neuter would be the best move of all, if they could catch them - unfortunately, there are too few people who will shoot them

1:22 am

rururocks

sounds like a hare raising experience for your husband flosey

1:23 am

jillibus

rabbit full of buckshot isn't too appetising

1:23 am

flosey

my hairdresser even asked if he could buy one - but wanted it totally cleaned

1:23 am

PAV3

serves me right for missing an whole hour+ of the chat..

1:23 am

jillibus

Silly Sylvain!

1:23 am

rururocks

hope scrabs isn't logging on right now

1:23 am

flosey

yes

1:23 am

flosey

yes, she wouldn't like this conversation

1:23 am

jillibus

Scrabs is dirfferent.

1:24 am

flosey

but she is responsible regarding her bunnies

1:24 am

rururocks

nothing worse than an irresponsible bunny

1:24 am

jillibus

WE are inundated with Bambi and Peter Cottontail

1:25 am

PAV3

oh my...I think I'll sit this one out..I can't even formulate a word from the upper left T

1:26 am

jillibus

I'd still like to know what's taller than a rabbit and shorter than a deer and still gets into my fenced garden to eat chrysanthemums ans such.

1:26 am

rururocks

give it a second look pav

1:26 am

Glantarell

Morning all

1:26 am

jillibus

helloo glant

1:26 am

Glantarell

Do you have Muntjac deer there Jilli? Thye fit the description

1:26 am

rururocks

a very short deer jilli

1:26 am

flosey

hi Glant

1:27 am

jillibus

no, glant -- we have black-tailed deer, related to mule deer, and my garden is well fenced against them.

1:27 am

Glantarell

Some silly beggar released some in the south east of England a few years ago and they are in about a quarter of England now

1:28 am

jillibus

and there's chicken wire along the bottoms of the fencing to keep the rbbits out.

1:29 am

jillibus

Maybe I need more of that.

1:29 am

rururocks

chicken wire doesn't keep rabbits out

1:29 am

Glantarell

Sheep? Goats?

1:29 am

flosey

we have so many gardens in different areas, impossible to fense it all

1:29 am

Glantarell

Doesn't keep rabbits out here either

1:29 am

jillibus

No sheep or goats near here, glant.

1:29 am

flosey

no, you have to put it down under the earth a way

1:30 am

jillibus

how can rabbits get through chicken wire?

1:30 am

Glantarell

they go under it

1:30 am

rururocks

push it

1:30 am

jillibus

oh, I see. Blast.

1:30 am

flosey

that's what hubby does, blast with shotgun

1:31 am

rururocks

rabbits disguised as chickens in jilli's garden

1:31 am

Glantarell

stair

1:31 am

Glantarell

oops

1:32 am

rururocks

sorry jilli.. that was a hare-brained joke

1:32 am

jillibus

Well, I'll tell my garden guy. I guess a determined rabbit standing on its hind legs could reach a potted chrysanthemum sitting on a stool.

1:32 am

Glantarell

all rabbits are determined when it comes to eating

1:33 am

flosey

they don't seem to jilli, everything hubby has it large pots seem to be ok

1:33 am

jillibus

ty glant! didn't have that or the pl

1:33 am

Glantarell

yw :-)

1:34 am

jillibus

but my chrysanthemum on a stool has been eaten, flosey

1:34 am

flosey

oh dear, I won't tell hubby

1:35 am

jillibus

that's why I wonder if it's a rabbit or something else

1:35 am

jillibus

like, what???

1:36 am

rururocks

baby deer?

1:36 am

flosey

no, they are definitely rabbits, at least what we have down here

1:36 am

flosey

we see so many baby deer on the road coming home from bridge - have had to slow down a few times to let them cross

1:37 am

jillibus

the deer can't get in here, definitely.

1:37 am

flosey

we a a mom and2 young ones - they

1:37 am

flosey

re getting the apples

1:37 am

rururocks

maybe it is a swarzenrabbit jilli?

1:38 am

jillibus

good one, ruru, lol!

1:38 am

flosey

or swarzendeer

1:38 am

jillibus

and just a fertile

1:38 am

rururocks

leave the window open.. and if you hear : "I'll be back".. that's your answer

1:39 am

jillibus

bedtime for me -- goodnight all...*poof

1:39 am

rururocks

or if your neighbors cat gets pregnant

1:43 am

grannyrose

1:44 am

rururocks

*waves to Don*

1:44 am

grannyrose

1:45 am

grannyrose

*Don waving back*

1:46 am

1:46 am

1:47 am

Shallow One

:) hi

1:47 am

Glantarell

Morning Scouser

1:48 am

scouser

I just looked up the name - black ploughman (egger) - makes it even worse doesn't it?

1:48 am

Shallow One

both notgerman words but neger with one g is negro, warze without the s verruca and schwarz/e would be black/s

1:49 am

scouser

egg egger is Swiss

1:49 am

Shallow One

egge is the agricultural tool

1:49 am

Glantarell

halfway and gotta go to work - bbl - happy babbling

1:50 am

rururocks

I think Arnold is Austrian though yes?

1:50 am

Shallow One

it doesnt plough as deeply as a regular plough

1:50 am

scouser

today's phantom today's holidays

1:50 am

grannyrose

later glant

1:50 am

rururocks

well if Arnold is on steroids.. it wouldn't be a deep plough

1:50 am

grannyrose

lol, ruru

1:51 am

scouser

Wow ruru you've met your match I think

1:51 am

Shallow One

indeed he is (and now i get the root of it all), first i had only glanced at your chatting while getting a look at the grid

1:51 am

grannyrose

so now we have a doubly black ploughman....hmmmmm, this could get interesting.

1:52 am

grannyrose

how big are his feet? anyone know?

1:52 am

scouser

good enough for hanging from branches etc

1:53 am

rbud

I have a picture of Ahnold nude from way back when, it's fairly impressive...

1:53 am

rururocks

wow scouser went out on a limb for that one

1:54 am

rbud

assuming the pic is real, I suppose

1:54 am

rururocks

what's impressive?

1:54 am

rururocks

arnold did full frontal?

1:54 am

rbud

why, the picture, ru, whatever else? ;p

1:55 am

rbud

I think it's kind of 3/4 frontal, looks like a pose for Mr. Universe

1:56 am

scouser

where do you keep the picture rbud?

1:56 am

rururocks

...yeah.. I'm curious too..lol

1:56 am

rbud

it's on my little memory stick, where I keep all my old pics from former (now dead) computers

1:57 am

rbud

not framed on the wall, lol

1:57 am

grannyrose

on the back of the loo door, of course, really you can be so silly, ruru.

1:57 am

rbud

LOL, why didn't I think of that!

1:57 am

rururocks

I was thinking the bedroom ceiling .. but what do i know

1:57 am

scouser

I was hoping you might rbud

1:57 am

grannyrose

so you have a little memory, rbud?

1:58 am

rbud

don't want to make Hubs feel inadequate. ;p

1:58 am

rururocks

oh.. yeah

1:58 am

grannyrose

mirrors on ceiling, ruru*sigh* the man has no imagination.

2:00 am

rururocks

I know it's soooo 70's

2:00 am

grannyrose

and your point is????

2:01 am

rururocks

LOL .. I don't really have a point to this

2:01 am

rbud

I have an aunt and uncle who put mirrors on their bedroom ceiling when they remodeled their house about 25 years ago, they were pretty old even then - she giggles and blushes when he mentions it, I think it's cute. :)

2:01 am

grannyrose

rofl

2:03 am

rururocks

"disclaimer on mirror: objects may be smaller than they appear"

2:03 am

rbud

they're around 80 now, and the mirrors are still there.

2:04 am

rururocks

more power to them Rbud

2:04 am

rbud

LOL, ru

2:04 am

rururocks

bet they go through a lot of windex

2:06 am

rbud

maybe so - but they mostly travel the world at lest half the year, I envy them.

2:07 am

grannyrose

ruru, i think that has to be one of the silliest id4s car manufacturers ever came up with. why would anyone want to put in mirrors which do not truely reflect what you are looking at? do they save money with these mirrors? what?

2:08 am

rbud

2:57 am

may i repeat it, BR?

2:57 am

BabbleRabble

Sure

2:59 am

grannyrose

went and saw my surgeon today, and told him how the DON wants me to return to 10 hour shifts. he was appalled, and sa4 he would talk to her about that. it's real handy when your surgeon is the medical director of the hospital you work in. lol

3:00 am

BabbleRabble

Good to hear.

3:01 am

grannyrose

i wanna see the wicked witch of the west wriggle out of this one. she is such a so-and-so. all i want is to return to work and gradually increase my hours as tolerated.

3:02 am

grannyrose

and you BR? how has your day gone thus far? smooth sailing, i hope? are you feeling okay?

3:03 am

BabbleRabble

My days pretty much repeat themselves. The hardest thing is to remember to take a nap before I fall asleep.

3:05 am

grannyrose

lol, BR. like that thought. btw, i am trying out melatonin as a sleep aid. when i wake at 3am, am taking just the one tablet. have been able to fall back asleep within 1/2 hour, and sleep through til morning light. much more satisfactory.

3:06 am

BabbleRabble

Sleep is so important.

3:07 am

grannyrose

you got that right, mate. is it just after 3am where you are?

3:08 am

BabbleRabble

Yes

3:08 am

grannyrose

so you are supposed to be asleep, right? poor BR.

3:11 am

BabbleRabble

I sleep when I want to. I am a night person ....

3:13 am

ahhh, lucky you. my mum has always sa4 of me, up with the birds, and to bed with the birds. gets a little uncomfortable at times, in the nest. *giggle*

4:36 am

rubyfoo

Hello BR. Mr. Hyde has emerged after being a good fellow all weekend for his birthday, over which his daughter and I made a big fuss. Now he's calling me names again.....

4:37 am

BabbleRabble

Not good. Sorry

4:38 am

rubyfoo

he spoke to me like that in front of his daughter, but she hears what she want to hear....

4:39 am

rubyfoo

I think any of his previous wives (3!!!!) would have tossed him out on his butt

4:40 am

BabbleRabble

You do not have to put up with that.

4:41 am

rubyfoo

short of a weapon, there's little I can do except make his meals and walk away

4:42 am

BabbleRabble

Hire a lawyer .... get him out of the house.

4:42 am

rubyfoo

he's too old; where could he go

4:42 am

rubyfoo

and there isn't enough money to set him up someplace with a "keeper"

4:43 am

BabbleRabble

He needs help

4:43 am

beachboggle

Make his daughter help with him

4:43 am

rubyfoo

yes, but refuses to acknowledge it

4:43 am

beachboggle

my mother was in a very similar situation

4:43 am

beachboggle

sorry, gma... was lurking a bit

4:44 am

rubyfoo

what did she do and how old was she and your dad?

4:44 am

BabbleRabble

Is the involuntary commitment in France?

4:45 am

rubyfoo

we are not part of the system here as expat aliens

4:45 am

beachboggle

It took years, but finally she got the abusive fellow ousted, with help from his daughter/s ; he is now in a nursing home

4:45 am

rubyfoo

and he is charming to everyone else

4:46 am

rubyfoo

neighbors all think he's a charmer....

4:46 am

BabbleRabble

Can you record the abuse?

4:47 am

rubyfoo

it's all verbal'; if he ever touched me, I'd call the gendarmes, tout de suite!

4:47 am

beachboggle

sometimes verbal abuse is just as hurtful as physical abuse!

4:47 am

BabbleRabble

Are you able to record the verbal abuse?

4:48 am

rubyfoo

it's hurtful but not visible.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

that is funny, since it's in English and NOBODY here speaks it!

4:48 am

rubyfoo

I know I'm stuck but it is very comforting to have my friends here so that I can vent a little and not just eat myself up inside

4:49 am

rubyfoo

believe me, in my whole life, I was never a victim! Was a tough business cookie in a man's world

4:52 am

BabbleRabble

As a former lawyer for many years ... I look for solutions ... and simply have trouble abiding spousal abuse of any sort.

4:52 am

rubyfoo

me, too

4:52 am

rubyfoo

but he's 87!!! (I, of course, am much younger! lol)

4:53 am

BabbleRabble

Age does not make the abuse any more palatable

4:54 am

rubyfoo

no, but it certainly limits the possibilities for action. If we were in the US, it would be much easier.

4:54 am

rubyfoo

however, I made this choice; it's my house and I live it here, so this is where I want to stay

4:55 am

BabbleRabble

I would tell him he can cook for himself and wash his own clothes, etc, til he gets help.

4:57 am

BabbleRabble

I realize my comments are easy to make when I am not there on the receiving end.

4:57 am

rubyfoo

for the moment, the housekeeper washes and irons the clothes, he shops, I cook the meals, but not much else

4:58 am

rubyfoo

having his daughter here for his birthday (I sent the ticket and made arrangements) makes it more complicated, but at least she sits and listens to him which takes that particular burden off me

4:59 am

rubyfoo

I even told our Sunday restaurant about his birthday and they made him a special chocolate cake wih sparklers and his name etc.

5:01 am

rubyfoo

but: he thinks his daughter is stupid, he didn't like the gifts she brought, he didn't like the things I gave him except for a coule of framed photos, and on and on

5:01 am

rubyfoo

have to go and make lunch for them.

5:02 am

rubyfoo

thanks for listening BR, you're a solid voice and I appreciate it!!!!

3:12 pm

3:14 pm

smores

hi just back for a minute, di5 is electron tube or a semiconductor

3:15 pm

3:16 pm

TraderKate

ty smores... need 12 now, but almost out of time befoerre i have to go.

3:16 pm

mab

oh, so not different from down here. interesting. it's ridiculous how little we know about canada.

3:17 pm

TraderKate

we've managed to export the feast to the uk... it's fairly common there now from what i understand. i'm guessing we celebrate a little earlier than you because harvest is a llittle earlier, and for us, it's not so much about the pilgrims as it is (origionallyA) about giving thanks to god...

3:18 pm

mab

thanks for the info kate!

3:19 pm

TraderKate

broke my monkey on the ay word, can anyone help... i thought i had tried all combos twice, obviously blind... and the dh words too -pretty please?

3:19 pm

TraderKate

yw mab, of course, crossy will tell you it's all about bacon and ham....

3:20 pm

smores

Unfortunately it isn't so much about the pilgrim/indian origin or God anymore - just mass feast

3:20 pm

TraderKate

3:20 pm

mab

so true smores

3:21 pm

smores

Unfortunately, the author lost me when he used the phrase "all the sudden" and the non-word "alot".

4:18 pm

5:49 pm

Jillyjill

Well, that is true, was a big draw to get their attention about prayer. I try to incorporate what I term "digital discipleship"..get them to see the technology to reach out...

I know stid. I'm going to have to invest in something for outside recess duty (have 5 of them)!

8:12 pm

8:24 pm

stidmama

Good one, gremlinn.

8:44 pm

8:44 pm

Bugsaw

sorry, and Jilly too

8:45 pm

torgone

Heya Bugs

8:46 pm

crosshair

howdy all:)) just got back from taking the mrs out for dinner. crossy destroyed himself. porterhouse steak soup,salad,baked tater with sour cream,fresh rolls..omg..hope it all does not go to my heart right away:) you are looking at a smiling man with great guilt:))

8:46 pm

Bugsaw

hey torgone as well. and crossy too

8:47 pm

crosshair

howdy bugsaw

8:47 pm

gremlinn

Is the guilt with the smiling man, or are we looking with guilt?

8:48 pm

Bugsaw

sounds lovely crossy

8:52 pm

Bugsaw

is the be6 a fish or a compound word please?

8:53 pm

gremlinn

compound

8:53 pm

Bugsaw

thanks. that always helps

8:53 pm

gremlinn

curiously, what looks like it should be the past tense is also in the board, but doesn't work

8:54 pm

torgone

Because be6 is a noun ..

8:55 pm

gremlinn

haha, so it is

8:55 pm

Bugsaw

oh, the last clue lead meto believe it was a verb. bigger hmmmmmmmm....................

8:56 pm

gremlinn

For some reason, I was thinking it meant something different

8:57 pm

Bugsaw

Found IT thanks for the compound clue

8:57 pm

Bugsaw

and the past tense makes sense too

8:57 pm

gremlinn

I was thinking along the lines of the compound word "house" + the last three letters of that word

9:00 pm

Bugsaw

however it worked gremlinn, it worked for the real word as well. it looks like a past tense but it isn't a word. weird or what?

9:00 pm

gremlinn

Dunno, but I've never seen that word outside of Boggle/Scrabble, so I always thought it was a verb

9:01 pm

torgone

So when you go out, someone comes and be6s?

9:01 pm

gremlinn

I thought it meant to spend company with someone b**ridden

9:02 pm

Bugsaw

I think it is a tiny room that is supposed to be your sleeping room and your living room.

9:02 pm

BabbleRabble

noun: a furnished sitting room with sleeping accommodations (and some plumbing)

9:02 pm

gremlinn

I'm too young for a word like that!

9:03 pm

Bugsaw

you are indeed gremlinn. now they are called Bachelor Apartments

9:04 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for st6-33? Tor, you gave some good clues, I just can't see it. Thanks

9:04 pm

Bugsaw

Now I need a clue for the st 6,33 please.

9:04 pm

gremlinn

Ooh, a double play opportunity...

9:05 pm

Bugsaw

my monkeys are blind and I want to finish

9:05 pm

gremlinn

when a person is pompous/stuffy

9:05 pm

mab

old fashioned

9:05 pm

mab

9:05 pm

torgone

Old fashioned, boring, overly reserved ..

9:05 pm

Bugsaw

9:06 pm

Bugsaw

thanks everyone

9:06 pm

gapeach

Ha ha, Bugs. Thanks

9:06 pm

stidmama

hey again... had to put some food away.

9:07 pm

gremlinn

hey stidgy

9:07 pm

Bugsaw

hugs stid.

9:08 pm

torgone

Guess I could have just said me ..

9:09 pm

stidmama

hey bugs. I was a GOOD housewife/mama today. I made my own pork sausage with the ground pork from "our" half pig and my own home-growed garlic and fennel. :-) And then I made lasagne, one for Tom and Grant with cheap noodles and one for me with rice noodles.

9:10 pm

crosshair

mmmmm home made sausages...

9:10 pm

Bugsaw

Oh wow stid. You are going old fashioned but I'll bet it tastes wonderful. I have never made sausage, even in the old days

9:10 pm

crosshair

your order the casings from your butcher?

9:11 pm

stidmama

It tasted good. Didn't stuff it into anything because I wanted it loose for the meal. I need a proper stuffer anyway, to make real sausages.

9:11 pm

Bugsaw

I helped my mother make it when I was a kid tho

9:11 pm

stidmama

next time I want to try making little breakfast sausage patties...

9:12 pm

gapeach

Torgone, I do not believe that you are boring or oldfashioned.

9:12 pm

stidmama

Since I had the day "off" I figured I would spend time making really yummy food that could be frozen for later in the week.

9:12 pm

Bugsaw

it ends with the sometimes vowel peach

9:12 pm

gapeach

stodgy

9:13 pm

gremlinn

W is the other sometimes vowel

9:13 pm

gapeach

sorry, y'all. I wasn't spelling it correctly.

9:14 pm

gremlinn

thought it might work with an "E" stuck in there, but nope

9:14 pm

Bugsaw

I used to hold the "tube stuff" up to the grinder and my mother would feed it in and twist it into sausages. When I found out what the tube stuff was, I gagged and was not keen on sausages much after that.

9:14 pm

gapeach

Thanks, tor, bugs and gremlin.

9:15 pm

Bugsaw

founds the si words!

9:15 pm

stidmama

LOL yes, i know -- I have to have not-sheep casings, so it's hard to find real sausage that is safe for me. A local farm uses the pork casing. *grin* And I know what it is...

9:15 pm

stidmama

go bugs go!

9:16 pm

Bugsaw

firewords. thanks everyone for the clues and visit

9:16 pm

gapeach

I have one lousy word left....it's 4 letters and I can't find it. ya4-8 please. Thanks

9:17 pm

stidmama

9:17 pm

Bugsaw

sounds like the bear

9:17 pm

Jillyjill

Jellystone Park bear, change the middle vowel

9:17 pm

gapeach

Congrats, Bugs!

WooT WooT Woot Bugsaw!! And half of you is in da grid!

9:17 pm

Bugsaw

Jilly and I are more low-brow stid but your clue works too

9:18 pm

stidmama

oh! Bugs -- my paternal unit took his boat out of the water for the winter... he is now doing all the work/repair etc that is necessary, but at the boatyard, since their yard isn't big enough for it.

9:18 pm

gapeach

Thanks so much, stiddy, gremlinn and bugs.

9:18 pm

stidmama

He's trying to get it all put to bed before winter/rain

9:18 pm

Bugsaw
