my re8 has an re9

12:20 am

rastapopolous

someone said re8/9 x 2, but my re9 doesn't have an 8 either, so I think we have 3 re9s

12:20 am

VolleymomDee

ty found an re 8 and 9 to make a choice again and re 9 to choose an incumbent again

12:22 am

12:22 am

rastapopolous

mine is from top r also, the re7/9

rubyfoo

good morning??

3:25 am

Lizlin

Hi Ruby - hugs!!!!

3:26 am

Lizlin

How's Rafaella?

3:26 am

Dachef

morning. New word in the grid for Enable: sidechog. Meaning to avidly type words into the grid whilst keeping one careful eye on the chat log just in case someone you like turns up.

3:27 am

Lizlin

Hi Dachef

3:27 am

Lizlin

Like the sidechog word!

3:28 am

rubyfoo

rafaella is a magic dog! I even thought she was housebroken, besides being adorable, sart and affectionate. But one accident so far and, surprisingly, not during the night but while we were all together.

3:28 am

rubyfoo

Now if it would only stop raining because the amount of mud the twodogs bring in is astonishing!

3:28 am

Lizlin

that's wonderful. How's Rufie with her and how's she with Rufie? And how's your DH with her?

3:29 am

rubyfoo

and hugs to you, lzlin

3:29 am

Lizlin

Have you got any pics of her?

3:29 am

rubyfoo

Rufie is a little bit strange with her but they chase each other back and forth and the only time he barked was when she got briefly stuck down a hill in the garden, and that was so I would come to help

3:30 am

Lizlin

That's so caring of him - I'm sure they'll become friends.

3:30 am

rubyfoo

my camera went dead yesterday, but I'll take more today and, if I can figure out how to get them into computer, they'll be on the way.

3:31 am

Lizlin

I'd love to see them, so I hope you do get it to all work. You must be feeling pretty relieved that she's here safely.

3:31 am

grannyrose

{{ruby}} and welcome to rafella

3:31 am

rubyfoo

DH is only slightly diverted, mostly he likes to talk about how cute and wonderful she is, but then lapses into his nastiness with me. Tant pis!

3:31 am

rubyfoo

3:31 am

grannyrose

grrrr, * rafaella *

3:31 am

rubyfoo

she is a delicious little dog, bold and very "licky"

3:32 am

Lizlin

Tant pis indeed! Just change the conversation back to the dogs!!! Not so easy, I do realise!

3:32 am

rubyfoo

rode 2 1/2 hrs back from lyon on my lap, alternately sleeping and licking me

3:32 am

grannyrose

i do so like a dog who is demonstrative with their love.

3:32 am

rubyfoo

close enough; half the time I call her puppy girl

3:32 am

Lizlin

Ah that's so cute. How heavy is she?

3:33 am

Lizlin

At least Rufie won't get confused if you call her puppy girl. Their names are pretty similar.

3:33 am

rubyfoo

VERY she looks small but probably weighs 15-20 bs

3:33 am

Lizlin

Your poor legs!!!!

3:34 am

rubyfoo

she'll be anothher moose and she immediately did her biz in the garden but eat and drinks prodigiously and we have to keep the door open (hence the "accident this AM)

3:34 am

grannyrose

liz, if you have seen pics of ruby, you would realise just how true your words are. ruby is so tiny ( compared to me ).

3:34 am

Lizlin

She'll learn. It's all very new for her too.

3:35 am

rubyfoo

I am really crippled up today and DH is only concerned with cleaning out the garage (he has 4 mowers - who knew)m 2 edger (ditto), 800 lbs of bird seed (exaggerating) and lots of wood. I think he's preparing for a war

3:35 am

Lizlin

Are you working over the holiday weekend Rose or have you got some time to relax?

3:36 am

Lizlin

You poor thing, Ruby! 4 mowers!!!! Very odd!

3:36 am

rubyfoo

They make a big deal about \'Easter Monday" here, but nobody goes to Church!

3:36 am

rubyfoo

ya think that's odd? And he doesn't even do the mowing

3:37 am

Lizlin

I find it odd how everything shuts on Good Friday! In the UK everything was open - considered a boom day especially for the garden centres etc.

3:37 am

Lizlin

Easter seems to be party time for many of our neighbours!

3:37 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, she just peed next to DH's desk, so Ms. Clean must go to the rescue

3:38 am

rubyfoo

it's like that here, too. In NY, Good Friday was a big deal.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

it's like that here, too. In NY, Good Friday was a big deal.

3:38 am

rubyfoo

Did you know that the Russian and Germanand Polish pogroms almost always started on Good Friday?

3:38 am

puglet

hello room-hope you dont mind me nosing in on your conversation about the new puppy.I love dogs(got 3 rescue dogs myself)--may I ask what breed she is

3:38 am

grannyrose

liz, have done on-call for easter for the last 10 years. this year i have taken the time off.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

she is our 7th chow chow. We love the aestherics and particular personalities of the breed. They are like enormous cats

3:39 am

Lizlin

That's great Rose. I'm glad you can have some time off.

3:39 am

Lizlin

Yes, Ruby - what was the rationale for that?

3:39 am

rubyfoo

hello puglet; I know it's better to get rescue dogs, but we both love chows

3:40 am

Lizlin

Oh I guess to catch Jews killing children over Easter.

3:40 am

Lizlin

Hi puglet.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

because they assumed tht the Jews were responsible for Jesus' death!

3:40 am

grannyrose

tomorrow, my whole family gets together for a picnic lunch, to celebrate easter, and my nephew's and my birthday. should be a great day.

3:40 am

rubyfoo

now, pee patrol!

3:41 am

Lizlin

That sounds like fun. Hope the weather's kind to you.

3:41 am

puglet

thats nice--do you show--I got a pug/great dane mix and a boxer

3:41 am

Lizlin

We've got guests tomorrow night and Monday night for Passover meals, so busy day tomorrow.

3:41 am

Dachef

Easter celebrations are based around a bloke who went out with his mates for a 'supper', changed water into wine and then woke up 3 days later in a cave. Don't see the big thing about that. Happens to me all the time.

3:42 am

Lizlin

Especially the wine part! - Although I guess my wine changes into water. lol!

3:43 am

grannyrose

wow, puglet. just how big is the pug/great dane. and how on earth did they get together?* pictures great dane on 'knees*...lol

3:43 am

Lizlin

That's quite an image!

3:43 am

grannyrose

lolol

3:44 am

puglet

I got a pug and got a great dane mix

3:44 am

Lizlin

You've assumed the Dane was the male!!!!

3:44 am

Lizlin

Ohhhhh!

3:44 am

grannyrose

hmmmm

3:44 am

puglet

all mine are girls

3:44 am

Lizlin

Visualise jumping pugs!

3:44 am

grannyrose

opps, bbl, dinner is served....happy babbling

3:45 am

grannyrose

um, that would be *oops *

3:45 am

Lizlin

Seriously, that's lovely. I love dogs and hope that one day we might have one but we fundamentally disagree about whether dogs are outside or inside pets!!!

3:45 am

puglet

but believe it or not the pug is the boss over them all--shes got the bluff on them

3:45 am

Lizlin

Bon appetite Rose.

3:45 am

grannyrose

sorry got work on my mind...* giggle *

3:46 am

Lizlin

I can believe it! Small is powerful!!

3:46 am

puglet

so true

4:25 am

dizgrannie

Not looking forward to Monday morn....g/son is with his Dad this w/end. The youngster is on a 'sugar free' diet...but his Dad reckons he doesn't have 'junk food' in the house......well hello, tis not just the junk food - but ALL FOODS have to be looked at

4:25 am

dizgrannie

sorry for the rant...xx

4:26 am

grannyrose

yeah, diz. you have mentioned tis before....so ex-son-in-law has not seen the light. good grief...what does it take?

4:27 am

dizgrannie

what does it take???....a friggin smack up his head!!!! sorry for swearing

4:30 am

dizgrannie

g/son has been soooo fantastic, since he has been 'sugar free', his teacher even asked his Mum if he could have a small choccie egg, Mum said YES cos he was going to his dad's. wrong, I know, BUT.

4:30 am

Kazzer99

hello lovely babblers. Hope you enjoy the easter break. it appears to be slightly sunny today which is quite nice. We are going out for lunch to a lovely restaurant and then tomorrow I might try to salvage our poor garden

4:31 am

grannyrose

lol....stand in line, hun. we have the same (almost ) problem with mother mac. she is a prednisolone induced diabetic, so not insulin dependent. but if her blood sugar levels go up, the bugs in her blood-stream go beresk. and she ends up very sick, requiring hospitalisation. here at home we keep her intake to an absolute minim um. she goes to her daughter's for the weekend/night and SHE fills her up with all sorts of food containing sugar. then hands her back to us, to clean up the mess.

4:31 am

Jivingjenny0

my grandson cannot eat chocolate but his auntie says because she doesn't see him very often its all right for him to have it from her!! how stupid can you get

5:45 am

grannyrose

hey, trifioso. nice to see you....grid is good.

5:47 am

Trifioso

oooh, just found one of my fave scrabble words! qu5

5:48 am

grannyrose

good for you trif. also one o my fave's...always am challenged on it...lol

5:48 am

Trifioso

i discovered an absolutely fabulous word the other day .... quincunx. haven't had a chance to use it in a game yet, but imagine THAT beauty on a triple word space!

5:49 am

godthaab

5:49 am

godthaab

5:49 am

godthaab

5:49 am

grannyrose

*drooling* would LOVE to use it....

5:49 am

godthaab

There is an absolutely fantastic book by Charles Palliser called the "Quincunx"

5:50 am

grannyrose

um, yes, godthaab.....did you wish to say something? lol

5:50 am

Trifioso

thanks godthaab! noted....

5:50 am

godthaab

I hit the return button by mistake. I am here in the dark.

5:50 am

Trifioso

nah, I get it granny - godthaab was excited to talk about a book - I get like that ALL the time

5:52 am

grannyrose

godthaab, how can you be in the dark when you play babble? it's such an enlightening game...lol

5:52 am

Trifioso

im in the semi darkness as well, granny

5:52 am

worzel

goooooooooooood morning fellow babblers xxx could someone tell me how many words today please? xxx

5:52 am

godthaab

Literally, not metaphorically.

5:53 am

Trifioso

249

5:53 am

worzel

ty Trifi xxx

5:53 am

grannyrose

249, worzel

5:53 am

worzel

ty rose xxx

5:53 am

Trifioso

yes, godthaab. have not turned on lights as yet, gloomy grey morning, so quite dark here

5:54 am

godthaab

I think it might be the same here. I am looking for a nice warm day, but I hear rumors of snow!

5:55 am

grannyrose

it's nearly 11pm here....trying to stay up another hour, as daylight saving ends tonight....hate waking up at 5am and unable to go back to sleep.

5:55 am

Trifioso

where are you, godthaab?

5:55 am

godthaab

Toronto

5:55 am

Trifioso

ah. I am a bit south of you - boston :)

5:55 am

godthaab

Where did you get that staircase. Is it a Yabu Pushelberg (sic)

5:56 am

Trifioso

I have no idea. it showed up on a fb site I like called Beautiful Design. they would have credited it, of course

5:57 am

Trifioso

I am mad for mosaics, of all kinds.

5:57 am

godthaab

5:57 am

godthaab

Very cool

5:58 am

godthaab

Very Cool

5:58 am

godthaab

I'm still in the dark.....

5:58 am

Trifioso

my personal best so far is my kitchen backsplash. it took ages, but I am really proud of it....

5:59 am

godthaab

Yes, I imagine that ceramics are not easy to work with, especially if there is a lot of cutting involved.

6:00 am

Trifioso

cutting, sometimes....to be honest, I am more of a hammer type girl

6:00 am

grannyrose

i am very impressed by anyone who works in mosaics. personally, i have all the talent of a toilet seat.

6:00 am

Trifioso

it pretty much free therapy, at that point :)

6:01 am

Trifioso

there are some photos of my backsplash in my flickr feed, on page 11, should you care to gander

6:03 am

Trifioso

gasp! how can enable not accept "CHOG"????

6:04 am

zoozzoom

Teehee..i tried that also, Trif..so annoying.

6:05 am

zoozzoom

Enable does not except the word 'Internet' either...when it is in the grid.

6:05 am

godthaab

Wow! That is great. I bet it did take you forever! Are the ceramics "broken" or cut?

6:06 am

MollyL

Trif! Hi stranger. Easter blessings to you and yours.

6:06 am

Trifioso

hello molly! easter greetings to you as well! laptop is FINALLY fixed! Valentine arranged it --- love that guy!

6:08 am

MollyL

Clearly, he has your best interests at heart. : )

6:08 am

Trifioso

clearly. he's coming to easter dinner at kadresa's house with me, and he is TERRIFIED. its charming

6:09 am

MollyL

Well he obviously has some sense. "The Sisters" are a force to be reckoned with.

6:09 am

Trifioso

hahaha. what could be less scary than a coven? hahaha

6:10 am

MollyL

He is probably saying a Novena as we type this.

6:10 am

Trifioso

well, he was raised catholic....

6:11 am

Trifioso

so, here I am in the quiet house, with a to-do list as long as my arm. I do like making lists, but I am not even remotely realistic about how much I can get done in a day....

6:12 am

MollyL

That seems to be a "woman" thing.

6:12 am

Trifioso

really? that makes me feel better. mostly I think it's just a brain muffler. Somehow, if I get it all down on paper, it's not rattling around in there anymore.

6:13 am

Trifioso

at least I wont forget anything

6:13 am

MollyL

It also makes you "feel" productive to write down your "intentions". As long as you don't wallow in guilt if you don't get it all done, you're okay.

6:14 am

Trifioso

yes. paving the road to hell every day, that's me

6:14 am

MollyL

: D That should be a t-shirt.

6:28 am

sprite

good afternoon all

6:28 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Sprite :-)

6:28 am

sprite

hi zooz :)

6:31 am

sprite

any fun things planned for Easter, zooz?

6:33 am

zoozzoom

Not for me, Sprite..the only thing planned is giving my sisters children their easter eggs. Thats about it....how about you?

6:34 am

sprite

aw sweet :)
My daughter insisted we kept the tradition alive, even though she is 15 now. So we will hide chocolate eggs and have them search for them... a special egg for each of the kids as well... and an easter breakfast together. My girl is having a friend staying over to share in the fun.

6:36 am

zoozzoom

That sounds great, Sprite..nice to keep traditions going ...i think you are never too old to do a chocolate egg hunt. :-)

6:37 am

sprite

*grin* I guess I agree! I love it that the kids still think it is fun, at their age. Am planning on making some cute bunny breads and chicklet eggs.

6:40 am

zoozzoom

It is nice to hear you want to do that for them...You are enjoying that also i can tell...and i am sure it will be a great day..I hope when they get older they will continue to do the same for their children :-)

6:41 am

sprite

yeah that would be great. And yes, you are right, I am enjoying it.

6:42 am

xeiluj

Hello, I miss all that, mine is 25 :(

6:44 am

zoozzoom

Very slowly here.

6:44 am

mael

Lizlin

xeiluj

I couldn;t go away with my sister this weekend, my fingers are still numb and where she is is very cold indeed!!

6:47 am

mael

6:48 am

zoozzoom

I have a couple of water butts..and last year i did not need them once..it was such a wet summer.

6:49 am

mael

it was feast or famine over here

6:49 am

MollyL

Water butts...oh the comments I could make

zoozzoom

Hoping for a nice hot summer this year..not too long..maybe last untill end of december :-)

6:50 am

sprite

6:50 am

mael

lol

6:51 am

zoozzoom

I like the high speed photography icon you have, Sprite..but my eyes cannot see what the writing says though.

6:53 am

MollyL

If an egg is broken by outside force, life ends.
If broken by inside force, life begins.
Great things always begin from inside.

6:53 am

sprite

it says: If an egg is broken by outside force, life ends. If broken by inside force, life begins. Great things always begin from inside. (Jim Kwik)

6:54 am

zoozzoom

Ahh thank you..i need to get my eyes tested.

6:54 am

mael

nice quote :)

6:55 am

sprite

nah, it is very small font for the size of the icon.

6:55 am

sprite

thanks :)

6:55 am

zoozzoom

It is indeed, Mael.

7:06 am

mael

I miss those awesome eggs. About a foot high, present inside, chocolate for WEEKS

7:07 am

zoozzoom

I love those too, Mael..but the thought of having to break them..lol

7:07 am

sprite

I have flirted with one... about that size and all filled with pralines. But too expensive. Left it at flirting ;)

7:07 am

zoozzoom

Although once broken..i could not care less what it had looked like before.

7:07 am

mael

when we were kids we used to throw them down the stairs still in their wrapping

7:08 am

mael

7:09 am

sprite

now I want chocolate

7:10 am

xeiluj

I was just thinkng that!!

7:10 am

MollyL

There is a theory that er5 cause the behavior that caused the Salem witch trials. I don't buy it though, because it seems odd that it would have affected only teenage girls when the whole community ate the rye crop.

1:25 pm

lilliann

1:26 pm

lilliann

1:27 pm

rubyfoo

she'll never replace my Ruby, though

1:28 pm

lilliann

i was thinking of getting a kitten as one of my cats died weeks ago but i'm not upto clearing out cat litter trays until it can go outside, so i've decided to enjoy my cat that i have left :)

1:28 pm

rubyfoo

we have had endless rain so the amount of mud in the house is scary

1:29 pm

rubyfoo

I was in a rush to get this pup because husband was such a mess after Ruby died, but he's barely a participant

ofcourse she won't.all our pets have their own personalities and will be loved for them

1:31 pm

4:40 pm

4:41 pm

Glantarell

4:41 pm

Glantarell

evening all

4:41 pm

lilliann

i know smores, she keeps wagging her tail unhappily and then gives me a dirty look..lol

4:41 pm

wvteach

beautiful sunny day here in upper 50s - sat out in the sun this afternoon

4:41 pm

smores

nice teach :)

4:42 pm

lilliann

hi glant :)

4:42 pm

Glantarell

*sat out in the sun* - gasps - it has hardly been above freezing point for weeks here

4:42 pm

Glantarell

I sually turn the heating off at the beginning of March and it's still on this eyar.

4:42 pm

lilliann

sounds lovely teach, but it was sunny where i live today and 9 degrees :)

4:42 pm

Glantarell

Hi llliann

4:42 pm

wvteach

we have a "chance of snow" back in forecast for Monday - rain tomorrow

4:43 pm

Glantarell

it was sunny until 9 this morniong and 4 degrees

4:43 pm

wvteach

thnx Glant - got it

4:43 pm

lilliann

so do i glant and i've even had my gas fire on in the lounge so, god knows what the bill's going to be like

4:43 pm

Glantarell

yw

4:43 pm

smores

currently 59F...mid 50's tomorrow then back to the 30's with a chance of flurries on Monday

4:43 pm

Glantarell

it turns out my gas fire doesn't work...

4:43 pm

Nef

Bzzn, do you ever get up there to see him?

4:44 pm

Glantarell

i need to find an engineer to sort it otu

4:44 pm

BzznBea

Not very often.

4:44 pm

lilliann

the problem with that glant, is that it costs a fortune

4:44 pm

BzznBea

We usually meet up at Mom's in KS

4:45 pm

Glantarell

yes, i know and I am worried that if he finds soething wrong he might shut all the gas off...

4:45 pm

Nef

It's 55 degrees (F) here right now. The snow is melting; but not near fast enough for the Easter egg hunt for tomorrow

4:46 pm

lilliann

that wouldn't be good. i take it you have a boiler for the hot water and radiators glant?

4:47 pm

lilliann

actually, stupid question, as you must have :0

4:47 pm

Nef

oh, darn, Bzzn <visions of a meet up bursting now>

4:48 pm

smores

that's too bad Nef....

4:48 pm

Nef

Chisago is a pretty area though

4:48 pm

MollyL

Why not have an Easter egg hunt inside?

4:49 pm

lilliann

you must have gas as you have a gas fire.if you're radiators are working i would try and carry on until it gets warmer and you don't need the fire or radiators on so much

4:50 pm

Glantarell

gas boiler, yes. I am waiting until the heating doesn;t need to be on before I call the gas fitter.

4:50 pm

lilliann

nef, an indoor hunt is good. i couldn't always get out when the bairn was little so i always had an indoor easter hunt and wrote cryptic clues as she got older

4:50 pm

Glantarell

at present the gas fire tap on the gas pipe is swithced off so I know it's not dnagerous but when I turn it on it won;t light

4:50 pm

Nef

We probably will, Molly. It's for the grandson; I know that mykids used to do egg hunts in the snow when they were that age (but we didn't have a dog in the yardback then. It's pretty messy out there...

4:50 pm

smores

lol

4:51 pm

welki

hi folks

4:51 pm

Glantarell

Hi weki

4:51 pm

Glantarell

*welki

4:51 pm

lilliann

perhaps the ignition button isn't working glant?

4:51 pm

smores

hey welki :)

4:51 pm

welki

Nef, I agree - would be dicey to hold an easter egg hunt in the backyard this time of year (if you have dogs)!

4:51 pm

lilliann

hi welki :)

4:52 pm

smores

was it working before Giant?

4:52 pm

Glantarell

the ignition button works, and once it went *poof* rather suddenly but now it does nothing so I think some ikind of safety cut out is operating

4:52 pm

Glantarell

can't get the pilot light to ignite

4:53 pm

Nef

that sounds safe at least glant

4:53 pm

lilliann

aye, then you're right about not using it until you can get it checked out properly

4:53 pm

welki

might just need to have the the line blown out - sometimes stuff gets clogged up in there. (please make sure there's no gas escaping)

4:53 pm

Glantarell

it is a flueless gas fire - who knew there was such a thing

4:54 pm

smores

ah....yeah, probably right about a safty switch

4:54 pm

welki

call the gas man. better safe than sorry

4:54 pm

Glantarell

I hate the way it looks, and the fireplace surrounding it - but a quick look around tells me I'd be looking at £1000 - £1500 to rpelace fire and fireplace

4:55 pm

lbdawger

sounds like it might be a thermo-coupler. fairly easy to replace.

4:55 pm

Nef

Ouch, Glant!

4:55 pm

Glantarell

yes, i thought it might be the thermo couple

4:55 pm

lilliann

do you have a carbon monoxide detector glant? you can get them from b&Q i think and then you'll no t have to worry about the gas

4:56 pm

Glantarell

yes i have a carbon monoxide monitor and it is OK

4:56 pm

Nef

that's good news then

4:56 pm

Glantarell

I just have to decide what I am saving up for - a shower cubicle or a new fire and fireplace LOL

4:56 pm

lilliann

yes, it is expensive to replace both unfortunately

4:56 pm

lilliann

that's good then glant

4:57 pm

Glantarell

might go for the shower for now and work up to the fire & fireplace for next wnter LOL

4:57 pm

MollyL

Xnay on an Easter egg hunt in a dog poop yard. Ew.

4:57 pm

welki

clean and warm - or clean or warm - decisions, decisions :)

4:57 pm

Glantarell

Ew is right

4:57 pm

Nef

aren't houses a hassle at times?

4:57 pm

lilliann

well, hopefully we will be having spring and summer too soi would go for the shower cubicle. you can always wrap up in clothes and blankets :)

Nef

5:10 pm

crosshair

5:10 pm

momof5

5:10 pm

How weird is that? On of my online nurse friends is from Australia and lived in England and her name is Fanny! How very odd that it's not a nice word!

5:10 pm

momof5

actually, I still need 94 words!

5:11 pm

Nef

I still need 21 D's. Sigh....

5:11 pm

rururocks

*ties fingers*

5:11 pm

lilliann

well, it is a slang word nef.fanny in england was an old fashioned girls name.you don't hear of it now

5:11 pm

crosshair

was not fanny also used for a time as a term of endearment in the uk?

5:12 pm

rururocks

*bites fingers*

5:12 pm

Glantarell

i never heard that one crossy

5:12 pm

Glantarell

just a girls name and private oarts

5:12 pm

MollyL

I'm sure it was, by certain dirty old men.

5:12 pm

lilliann

i'm not sure crossy, never heard of it that way

5:12 pm

Glantarell

*parts

5:12 pm

crosshair

lol,most likely

5:12 pm

Nef

she's about late 20's, had her first baby this past year. I wonder if it has the same meaning in Aust?

5:13 pm

lilliann

we had fanny craddock, who was a cook

5:13 pm

Nef

(And if so, why would her parents give her that name?)

5:14 pm

crosshair

this is from wiki: fanny= A British, South African, Australian, New Zealand, and Irish term for the female vulva

5:14 pm

dizgrannie

same meaning here, Nef

5:14 pm

lilliann

late 20's, that is an unusual name now for a person so young, but saying that, alot of the older names are coming back, like phoebe, ruby alice etc

5:14 pm

Glantarell

there was a book called Memoirs of a Woman od Pleasure, and the main character was called Fanny - I wonder of that;s the connection?

5:14 pm

crosshair

a name change would be in order if residing in those areas i am thinking

5:15 pm

Glantarell

or it might be a shortening of Frances?

5:15 pm

crosshair

it says that as well

5:15 pm

rururocks

oh..

5:15 pm

lilliann

i knew a frances and she was called fran not fan :)

5:16 pm

Nef

I just went to a dinner theater production of "Ring of Fire with my Aunt the other day. It was a musical all about Johnny Cash, and they sang "A Boy Named Sue." I wonder why Fanny's parents would give her that name now?

5:16 pm

crosshair

since my grammys name was frances,i had to look it all up

5:16 pm

lilliann

that's what i like about babble. we learn something new everyday :)

5:16 pm

crosshair

yup.always something new and interesting

5:17 pm

rururocks

I thought a Vulva was a swedish car made by women

5:17 pm

crosshair

5:17 pm

Nef

RU!

5:18 pm

5:21 pm

crosshair

5:22 pm

MollyL

Always my fault L, I'm the black sheep of Babble. Baaa!

5:22 pm

rururocks

*wonders what the hood ornament would be on a Vulva*

5:23 pm

MollyL

Probably a maidenhead

5:23 pm

crosshair

it would be small and hard to find in the dark at any rate

5:23 pm

lilliann

i get enough blame aswell so i'm just sharing and you did say it even though i brought it up the other day

5:23 pm

rururocks

LOL

5:23 pm

BzznBea

My friend drives a Vulva

5:24 pm

smores

LOL

5:24 pm

Glantarell

ah, volvos are known for safety so no hood ornaments :-)

5:25 pm

lilliann

omg, what has this chat come too. it's like the child telling her parents off.come on people get your minds out of the gutter :) lol

5:25 pm

MollyL

Too bad none of you have seen the movie "Crazy People". In their ad campaign, the slogan was VOLVOS, THEY'RE BOXY BUT THEY'RE GOOD.

5:25 pm

Glantarell

most fun I've had all day

5:26 pm

crosshair

yes,out of the gutter and down to the sewer

5:26 pm

Glantarell

ah, boxy. another word which has different connotations

5:26 pm

Glantarell

because bix in the UK means - to fight, a container, and a hedging plant

5:26 pm

rururocks

<---innocent as a white little lamb

5:26 pm

Glantarell

nothing else at all

5:26 pm

MollyL

Which is why I mentioned it Glant. Black sheep and all that.

5:26 pm

Glantarell

5:26 pm

crosshair

better move away from ru,just in case he is hit by a bolt of lightning

5:26 pm

lilliann

i have a clean mind and don't want it brainwashed hehe

5:27 pm

Glantarell

I thought Liliann was the black sheep?

5:27 pm

Glantarell

5:28 pm

crosshair

crossy wanders away into the grid,leaving the chog in total disarray behind him...

5:28 pm

lilliann

oh thanks glant, nowt like making a person feel good about themselves!! lol

5:29 pm

lilliann

aye, molly is just as bad :)

5:29 pm

Glantarell

;-D

5:29 pm

MollyL

Probably more than two Glant, according to the pompous and judgmental. Such is life. As in, who cares.

5:29 pm

Glantarell

oh, are people being pompous and judgemental again? glad I've missed it...

5:30 pm

BzznBea

There are pompous and judgmental in BabbleLand?

5:30 pm

crosshair

Glantarell

oh, don;t start about fluff, crossy

5:34 pm

crosshair

"should never be at half mast when trying to salute the fanny flag

5:34 pm

my husband's first name is Richard. He goes by Rick. Otherwise, he was teased as a kid because his last name rhymes with 'stork' -- which made him "Dick Dork". Poor kid. Now he laughs about it

Before I married, my maiden name was O' Carroll. Following the nuptials, when I returned to work, an elderly colleague said 'oh Hello Mrs Higginbottom'. I haughtily replied ' its not Higginbottom', its Dickinson! To which he replied ' I knew it had something to do willies or arses'.

5:50 pm

Nef

LOL! Of the guys I know named Dick; only one fit the "bad" definition of it. The others are pretty nice guys

5:50 pm

lilliann

i was going to say something glant but i think some people might have had enough of smut for one night :0

5:50 pm

5:51 pm

java2

She was a lovely woman - and didn't like her name; she wanted my mom's middle name to be "Frances" and was furious when the hospital got it wrong. She refused to acknowledge it and insisted it was Frances, not Fanny (for my mom's middle name)

5:51 pm

momof5

as my daughter will say when she gets uncomfortable with the conversation, "oh wow, look at those trees"

5:52 pm

momof5

anything to change topic for her. trees, squirrels, etc.

5:53 pm

lilliann

my dad's parents gave him ahis 1st and 2nd name and had him batised with the names and registered on his birth certificate but all his life, they called him by his middle name.why didn't they just name him that in the first place?

5:53 pm

Nef

Java, I know a nurse friend in England who is from Australia (we discussed this a while ago). Her name is Fanny and she's in her late 20's, just had a baby last year. I can't understand why her parents would have named her that when it isn't a nice word there.

5:53 pm

Glantarell

Most Welsh forst language folk are called by their middle name

5:54 pm

Glantarell

*first language

5:54 pm

java2

People give their children weird names all over the world. Years ago, I heard about a little girl named (of all things) "Rotunda"

5:54 pm

BzznBea

Finally got all the D's!

5:54 pm

lilliann

that'[s why then glant as they were and my dad is welsh

5:54 pm

Glantarell

ah, that explains it

5:55 pm

Glantarell

I have been looking for an RE4 for ages. You'd think my monkeys could find it.

5:55 pm

BzznBea

I'm not happy about the name my daighter has chosen to name her baby. But, what can you do...

5:55 pm

Nef

lilli, my DH and son are named the same; but I'd never call my son Junior. We've always used his middle name too; just as DH's family always called him his middle name too. If we had to do it again, I'd reverse the 2 names (knowing what I now know)

5:55 pm

java2

And then there's George Foreman who named all his sons with the first name "George". I'm sure they are all addressed by their middle names.

5:56 pm

lilliann

rotunda is different.what would you shorten it too?

5:56 pm

lilliann

rotund wouldn't be good

5:56 pm

Glantarell

LOL Lilliann

5:56 pm

Glantarell

Rot would be worse

5:56 pm

Nef

didn't George Foreman also name his girls George?

5:56 pm

BzznBea

I had a student named Shitia.

5:57 pm

java2

"Da" wouldn't be good either

5:57 pm

Glantarell

Glantarell

Oh, too funny BbbbnBea - bit not for her

5:57 pm

lilliann

5:57 pm

Glantarell

Da means good in Welsh

5:57 pm

Soodle

My late MIL requested that her name be remembered in my daughter's name. But her name was Mildred. I called my daughter Sarah Louise.

6:05 pm

Nef

I have 58 on my Mom's side; we were all very close growing up (while my Grandma was still alive) We still get together every few years (trying to do it more than just at a wedding or funeral)

6:08 pm

lilliann

there were about 9 in my nan and grandad's families.but i think, in late 1800s and early to mid 19oo's families were big

6:08 pm

lilliann

now, we don't tend to have so many children per family

6:09 pm

Nef

they were, lilli. Because so many didn't survive to adulthood and they needed help on the farms I guess

6:09 pm

BzznBea

Big families were needed to take care of the famrs.

6:09 pm

BzznBea

farms

6:09 pm

lilliann

and yet if you think, our families had it alot tougher than us

6:10 pm

Soodle

My Dad was brought up in a two bedroomed cottage. No running water, & 14 siblings. No washing machine. No dishwasher. My Grandma married my Granda when they were both 17. And she cared for him for 10 years after he had a stroke.

6:10 pm

lilliann

yes, but even in this country alot of families were big and they weren't farmers. my dad's side who are welsh worked down the pits

6:10 pm

Nef

I remember in grade school I had a lot of classmates with more that 6-8 siblings; even 14 kids in some families. One kid I knew ended upwith 20 siblings though (and a very nice family too)

6:11 pm

lilliann

that is a tough life soodle and the kids today complain if the tv isn't working!!

6:11 pm

lilliann

20 siblings!

6:12 pm

lilliann

my mam's mam had a big family and as she was the eldest, she had to look after the others

6:12 pm

Nef

LOL! there was no such thing as saying you were bored! The adults would find some hard work for you to do if you so much as *thought* you were bored!

6:13 pm

lilliann

exactly soodle, there were no electric appliances.tin baths and a netty

6:13 pm

Nef

6:13 pm

6:18 pm

Soodle

They have it now Nef, but back in the day, we used to go to the well, about 10 minutes away, several times a day. I have drank many different types of bottled water, but to this day, water from the well at my Dads is the best water EVER!!!

6:26 pm

6:28 pm

Sometimes a good debate is fun - but you've got to be in the mood for it!

6:46 pm

Nef

and it can't ever be about THEIR religion I bet!

6:47 pm

We share the same religion but they're much more literal in their interpretation.

Hi nef. Just spending a little quite time. I colored my Easter eggs this evening and hubby helped. He really enjoys mixing colors but I said quite firmly that the brown mixture was not to be used!

10:27 pm

Nef

LOL! I have brown (onion skins gave it the color) dyed eggs. A Latvian friend taught me how to dye them; but she uses leaves and tiny flowers to tied tight to them to decorate them.

10:28 pm

Nef

They're from several years ago and have totally dried out

10:28 pm

stidgmere

I forgot to put out my fancy eggs! I think I'll do that in the morning.

10:28 pm

I was going to try doing some Ukranian eggs a few years ago but the classes didn't work with my work schedule. I'm tempted to try take those classes this year

Hi jes, Une...

11:31 pm

Nef

hi people.

11:32 pm

Jellen

Ooh, jes..I'm supposed to be getting a puppy tonight or tomorrow...

11:32 pm

jesdraggon

yah? what kind?

11:32 pm

Jellen

Boston terrier

11:32 pm

Uneaixoise

how exciting, jellen! :-)

11:33 pm

Jellen

Not really young, but still less than a year old...

11:33 pm

jesdraggon

a little older isn't bad - hopefully that means he'll already be house trained

11:34 pm

Jellen

Unfortunately, he is not completely house trained...

11:35 pm

Nef

oh-oh. That's a pain (to me at least)

11:35 pm

Nef

I don't know anymore if our 14 y/o schiz-poo is trained or if we are....

11:35 pm

Jellen

His previous owner isn't too disciplined...

11:36 pm

jesdraggon

that's frustrating. but shouldn't be too bad to teach him

11:36 pm

Jellen

I was going to try crate training him...

11:36 pm

Nef

Good Luck, Jellen. I hope he's a great dog for you!

11:37 pm

Jellen

Thanks, Nef...I hope so, too!

11:37 pm

jesdraggon

i think kennel training is one of the best things you can do for a dog

11:38 pm

Jellen

What are the best kind of treats for training?

11:39 pm

Nef

It seems to work for a lot of dogs, doesn't it? (Our dog goes crazy though when he's locked in a kennel here at home. He does go in the kennel at the groomers though

11:39 pm

jesdraggon

depends on the dog. i'm mostly just using praise with Little John, because he is so responsive to it.

11:39 pm

jesdraggon

some dogs are food motivated enough that you can just measure out the food you would give during the day, and feed it out a kibble at a time as rewards through the day, then give whatever you haven't fed out to them before bed.

11:40 pm

Uneaixoise

2 of my 3 dogs go to the crate on their own -- seems to feel cozy and comforting (w/ door open)

11:40 pm

Uneaixoise

my dogs are VERY food motivated LOL!

11:40 pm

jesdraggon

i'm fond of low-calorie treats, especially for small dogs, because they are so easy to get fat; carrot sticks, ice cubes, apple slices. if you use hot dogs or cheese or something, cut it into really really small pieces

11:42 pm

Jellen

Gotcha!

11:42 pm

Nef

Our dog loves carrots and apple slices and oranges.

11:42 pm

jesdraggon

when you kennel train, make sure that the kennel is his happy place - don't use it as a punishment. Put his bed in the kennel, feed him in the kennel, keep his toys in the kennel... when he's not locked in, it should always be open so he can go get a toy and bring it out, and he should get a treat or there should be something good in the kennel when you put him in

11:43 pm

jesdraggon

and don't ever let him out when he's crying!! that just teaches him to cry in the kennel. even if it means you have to hide around the corner and jump into the room to open the door when he pauses for breath, wait until he's quiet to open the kennel

11:44 pm

Jellen

Where should I locate it? I was thinking the living room or my computer room...

11:45 pm

jesdraggon

http://chewelahveterinaryclinic.com/do\ngs/cratetraining.php

11:45 pm

Nef

really, jes? Our dog actually bites at the wire door and throws himself against it til his mouth bleeds. I don't know why or what it is that makes him do that; but I'm afraid he will really hurt himself badly at that point --and I let him out.

11:45 pm

jesdraggon

Wherever you want him to sleep at night - sometimes that means having multiple kennels. Little John's is in the living room.

11:46 pm

jesdraggon

Really Nef- once they learn that crying or barking causes the door to open, it will just get worse; if you ignore it, they bark louder and longer, or start doing exactly what your dog is doing, and escalating to pawing and scratching and flailing at the door.

11:47 pm

jesdraggon

Rewarding calm behavior is way more effective than trying to punish the frantic behavior.

11:47 pm

Uneaixoise

my crate works well in the room adjacent to the living room -- can hear what's going on but still quieter than being in the middle of things

11:47 pm

jesdraggon

Once they're too the point you describe, it's a lot harder to train them to be calm than it is if they are neutral/just starting

11:48 pm

jesdraggon

if you dog is shy or you want to use the kennel as a retreat away from kids or company, i'd put it in the bedroom or a utility room instead of the living room.

11:48 pm

Jellen

Thanks for the link!

11:48 pm

Nef

well, we haven't tried kenneling him for years til this past 6 months when he started peeing on the carpet after he was so ill last fall. His previous owner had kennelled him at one time; but he ended up injuring himself

11:49 pm

jesdraggon

if you want to work on yours, nef, i'd start with taking the door off of your kennel and leaving it where the dog can get to it any time, and only feed in the kennel - if he wants dinner, he goes in. he's not trapped, he's not stuck, nothing bad happens.

11:49 pm

jesdraggon

tell him to kennel, give him a treat when he goes in, let him immediately back out before he has time to get frantic

11:49 pm

jesdraggon

find a really high-value treat that he ONLY gets in the kennel; rawhide or a favorite toy, or whatever

11:50 pm

Nef

good idea, Jes. I'll give that a try next week

11:50 pm

jesdraggon

when he's comfortable eating in the kennel and then coming back out, (and this may take days or a couple weeks) put the door back on, and keep feeding him in it with the door open.

11:51 pm

jesdraggon

when he's comfortable with that, start shutting the door, but staying close by, and when he finishes eating but BEFORE he starts pawing or whining, open the door.

11:51 pm

Nef

8 words to find! I want to finish (I'm going to shut up for a minute, okay?

11:51 pm

jesdraggon

then step it up to waiting until he's done eating and ask him to sit (i assume he knows sit and will do so reliably outside the kennel? if not, work on that too)

11:53 pm

jesdraggon

when he sits, immediately open the door of the kennel. very gradually, extend the amount of time he remains in the kennel before you let him out. expect it to take weeks or months before he is comfortable hanging out in the kennel without crying - you're trying to unlearn a pretty pronounced behavior, and that's not going to go quickly or simply.

11:53 pm

Nef

he does follow some commands; but only from me and my grandson; he doesn't follow commands from DH

11:53 pm

jesdraggon

finish the grid?! hahhaha. though if someone could clue the upper left e, that'd give me no blank tiles.
