It's lovely - a friend sent me the chicken recipe a couple of years ago and it's become a favourite and the honey cake is my mum's recipe!!!

2:01 am

joso

too slow

2:01 am

grannyrose

joso, it's jewish new year...

2:02 am

joso

ah, thanks, was looking at new years, there are hundreds of them

2:04 am

puglet

when is yours Rose and Joso? same as our Jan 1st?

2:04 am

grannyrose

about 12 years ago, when i was taking care of an elderly jewish lady, she celebrated it feb/mar....the jewish calender year is different to the gregorian calender year.

2:05 am

grannyrose

pugs, mine is the same as yours, in the gregorian calender.

2:05 am

joso

yes, jan 1, the most common after chinese new year

2:07 am

grannyrose

no maccas flash mob...you tube video...taken in my local shopping centre.

2:07 am

grannyrose

no maccas tecoma will also fi4 it

2:08 am

joso

the jewish holidays are hard to follow as an outsider, as they shift in relation to the gregorian calender. they use a lunar calender

2:11 am

dofith

As do Muslim holidays eg., Ramadan shifts every year

2:12 am

grannyrose

our area has collected 91,000 signatures on a petition to stop mcdonalds opening a store in our local area. where we live is very rural, and old. we do not want a mcdonalds. it will detract from our local cafes, and tourist haunts. the small businesses will certainly feel it if they are allowed to build.

2:12 am

sprite

good morning all

2:12 am

joso

I'm not sure, have no muslim friends so never tried to trac them

2:13 am

puglet

Hugs Sprite

2:13 am

joso

that is great rose, tough to beat a corp that size, congrats to your home town

2:13 am

sprite

hi pug *hug* :)

2:13 am

puglet

I hope you win out Rose

2:13 am

joso

hey sprtite

2:13 am

grannyrose

our council said no, but mcdonalds went to the court of appeals, and had the decision overturned. :(

2:13 am

sprite

hi joso :)

2:14 am

grannyrose

{{sprite}} hi hun. weathered day one at work. and saw your news re tim...prayers for all of you, sweetie.

2:14 am

sprite

thanks rose. How did it go at work? And how are you feeling afterwards?

2:15 am

grannyrose

joso, there already is a maccas 5-10 minutes down the road...the company is just too greedy.

2:16 am

joso

good reason to want it not next to school, try to avoid the weight prob the us and to a lessor degree canada have

2:17 am

grannyrose

sprite, i had to put my foot down a few times, albeit gently. my colleagues were most put out because i would NOT walk around the unit, and stand for long periods, in order to help them put away the drug order...tough...that's me. lol

2:17 am

sprite

goooooood! Am SO proud of you. I know how hard that is. You did it, hun :)

2:18 am

joso

best to establish that right off rose, good for you

2:18 am

grannyrose

yes, joso. and to exit the site, the customers will have to use a side road,with traffic lights, which take forever to change. not a good site to build.

2:18 am

puglet

yeah Rose for standing up for yourself!

2:19 am

joso

standing up for sitting down

2:19 am

sprite

lol joso :)

2:21 am

grannyrose

lol, joso....pretty proud of me...it's hard to say no to these people at work, after 11 years they are more like friends. as a matter of fact, one of them i have worked with at another hospital. total time i have known her, 21 years.

2:21 am

joso

sorry to hear about the overturn, article I skimmed left me with a different impression. is it all over rose or are there other avenues to persue?

2:21 am

sprite

at least they should know by now that you wouldn't say no unless you really had to

2:23 am

grannyrose

joso, representatives are flying to chicago, maccas headquarters, to present them with our petition. apparently the press and police are going to cover/help our reps anyway they can. we had to raise the money ourselves to fly them over.

2:24 am

joso

ezer in the long run if you let them know it is serious from the get go, as you did. otherwise how was it to see them all again, and to be working again? does everyone there call them maccas?

2:25 am

puglet

Rose, I forgot to tell you--The person we talked about the other day,came on mid-day and had a real conversation!

2:25 am

grannyrose

yes, sprite. i explained to my colleagues this AM when i arrived. i thiught they understood, but it didn't stop them from asking anyway...lol...nurses....the ever optimists!!

2:25 am

sprite

very stupid of them, and very strong of you to stay loyal to your body.

2:26 am

grannyrose

oh, great, pugs. that is good, hun.

2:27 am

sprite

ah, my favorite bodypart is in today

2:27 am

2:34 am

joso

It is amazing how hardwired some of our reactions are, they ran a test showing men boobs, a variety of normal photos and a doctored set where they were virtically allined, very different reactions.

2:34 am

puglet

2:43 am

crosshair

2:44 am

sprite

it will be. Once you get better, it will be.

2:45 am

joso

worth getting through though, after that you get into the really interesting bizare stuff hidden in math

2:46 am

crosshair

all in all,the entire experience will be interesting.ask the mrs if i could ask one of the young 25 year old classmates hotties to give me personal tutoring..she said no lol

2:52 am

crosshair

2:52 am

zoozzoom

Yes i like helping people...in fact at 9:00AM will be off to cut the lawn for my sister..as her useless boyfriend will not cut it for her..but i am not going to go into detail of him here lol

2:52 am

puglet

lol crossy

2:53 am

sprite

joso: school talked with Tim and he will be coming home today, probably. We will get help from school counsellor to work out the whole mess.

2:53 am

grannyrose

the first night we depended on the owls we had bought. it was hysterical , those possums were back-pedalling so hard, trying not to get near the owls.

2:53 am

sprite

lolol zooz... better not. You rock, you know.

2:54 am

sprite

lol rose, I can picture it

2:54 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Rose..i thought i said last time..sorry...i sprayed it on both fences and around the base of the tree...but not on the wall near the bird feeder as it can deter the birds too...apart from that it seems to be working..thanks to you, Rose :-)

2:54 am

grannyrose

then the next night after we sprayed...nothing. was so nice not to have the little darlings sceeching and growling over our heads.

2:55 am

grannyrose

oh, yay, zooz. *happy face*

2:55 am

puglet

I have had those little darlings climb our fence and snatch our hens :(

2:56 am

grannyrose

was almost as funny when i pruned te tree at the end of the roof, sprite.

2:56 am

sprite

what happened, rose?

2:56 am

zoozzoom

<--- Scared of owls & their massive staring eyes.

2:57 am

sprite

*hugs zooz*

2:57 am

grannyrose

we heard the possums land on the roof, scarper the full length, and all of a sudden they realised the tree was not there. the scrabble of their claws, followed by the thump as they hit the ground, had all of us in stitches.

2:57 am

sprite

roflol

2:58 am

zoozzoom

Sorry to cross talk..but going soon and just wanted to know if you do not mind ,Sprite..how is it going with your son & did you talk to your husband about joint talks?

2:58 am

zoozzoom

hahahaha..that is funny, Rose!

2:59 am

sprite

yes, I did, zooz, we had it out between us and are on the same page again. And school has stepped in, talked with our son, and we will get help from the school counsellor.

3:00 am

crosshair

lol,no problem,zooz,it is everyones chat board not just me and my motor mouth:)

3:00 am

zoozzoom

Oh i really am so pleased for you, Sprite..i know that is not the end...but at least now hopefully something will change..slowly maybe but change non the less ((Sprite))

3:00 am

sprite

I never mind several convos going on at the same time. It is kind of funny. And very babblish.

3:01 am

joso

good, a councellor may be very helpful. I think something is bothering him that is more than teen rebelion, hopefully finding that out will help.

3:01 am

sprite

thanks zooz :) We are glad too, my love and I both were able to breathe again after hearing from school.

3:01 am

crosshair

a councellor was the best thing we ever did for our family when our son was in the 10-16 year range

3:01 am

zoozzoom

Your a good man, Crossy..don't take just my word for it..i have seen others type that about you here..just recently in fact :-)

3:02 am

sprite

joso, that is what we are all thinking. Something is wrong there. And it may well be some dynamics in the family, and if that is the case, we can tackle it together.

3:02 am

zoozzoom

Damn got to go..Take care all...Hugs to everyone...byeee.

3:02 am

grannyrose

and then there was the time we wrapped chicken wire around the roof vent. they used to climb in and down, and sleep in the roof space. well, that night, we heard possum land on the roof, scrabble to the vent,....and then a very long silence. we could picture the poor possum, sitting their scratching it's head and thinking...i used to be able to get in here, why can't i now? the kids and i were howling with laughter.

3:02 am

sprite

bye zooz *hugs*

3:02 am

puglet

bye zoom

3:02 am

grannyrose

bye, zooz, lovely to see you, mate

3:03 am

sprite

oh rose, am laughing just picturing it!

3:03 am

joso

ta ta zoom

3:03 am

crosshair

tc,zooz

3:03 am

puglet

you must have lots of them Rose

3:03 am

sprite

just reading the word possum reminds me of Dame Edna.

3:04 am

grannyrose

yes, pugs. over here we are not allowed to shoot them or hurt them in anyway. unlike new zealand, where they are allowed to do whatever it takes to rid the islands of possums.

3:05 am

sprite

sounds like overprotection to me, rose... seeing you have so many of them

3:05 am

crosshair

everyone just start eating possum;))

3:05 am

puglet

why? are they a protected animal there?

3:05 am

crosshair

americans in the south eat them i am told

3:05 am

joso

but no law against elaborate pranks evidently

3:06 am

grannyrose

yeah, hun....and i have to say good-bye. am going to a farewell dinner for one of our surgeons who is retiring.

3:06 am

puglet

Ive read that opossums are very dumb animals

3:06 am

sprite

would love to read a law that forbade us to play pranks on possums.

3:06 am

sprite

enjoy, rose, and take care. *hugs*

3:06 am

puglet

okay Rose--take care and will see ya tomorrow--hugs

3:06 am

joso

enjoy rose, keep on sittn

3:07 am

crosshair

i think i can count on one hand how many times i have seen a possum

3:08 am

sprite

same for me... in a zoo.

3:08 am

crosshair

seen more bears than possums and if a bear want to get into the chicken coop..we let him;)

3:08 am

sprite

lol crossy, so would I!

3:09 am

joso

I don't need any hands, racoons seem to have that nich nailed down tight around here

3:09 am

puglet

we have them here but not so much now that we got good dogs and chainlink fencing

3:09 am

sprite

oh yeah, I have heard abut raccoons being a total pest too.

3:10 am

crosshair

our coyote population has exploded the last 5 years or so.keeps the population of other small critters down to a dull roar

3:10 am

sprite

that is not so bad, crossy

3:10 am

puglet

the biggest wildlife we have here is white tail deers

3:11 am

crosshair

same here,puglet,followed by the coyotes,bears and moose then the timber wolves in algonquin park areas

3:12 am

joso

Wildlife wise crossy is in a much more interesting part of canada than I pug

3:12 am

sprite

not here... the netherlands are too densily populated for much wildlife. Some deer, the occasional wolf. In the middle of the netherlands, that is, where the forests are.

3:13 am

crosshair

our wild turkeys have come back as well.20 years ago we made a deal with kentucky.we gave them 100 of our withe tailed deer and they gave us 100 of their wild turkeysand it worked well for both parties for repopulation

3:13 am

puglet

I went on a camping trip once with our horses and someone had brought a camel--scared our horse almost out from under us--lol

3:13 am

joso

are you on reclaimed land sprite?

3:13 am

sprite

no, not where I live. Close to it though.

3:16 am

crosshair

lol,just had a picture of puglet riding the range on some texas farm..on a camel

3:17 am

puglet

that most certainly would make a picture for candid camera

3:18 am

joso

perhaps you know sprite, when they reclaim land what do they do about the salt in the soil, I know the romans salted carthage to spoil the land, do they do anthing special to desalinate the soil?

3:20 am

sprite

yes, after reclaiming it, they 'mine' the upper layer where the salt is.

3:20 am

crosshair

well,i think i shall leave you all for a bit.if i head back to bed now i can grab 3 hours of sleep and be fresh as a daisy for school today.tc all

3:21 am

sprite

bye crossy, I hope you can sleep now

3:21 am

puglet

night Crossy and good luck on your first day

3:21 am

crosshair

tc,all((sprite))..poink!

3:21 am

joso

good luck with sleep and enjoy school crossy

3:22 am

sprite

or they used to, anyway, joso. The mining made the land too low for the dikes to protect it, and somewhere in the middle ages mining the salt became against the law. Went on until the 1600s though.

3:23 am

joso

mining reclaimed land does sound like and elaberate way to commit suicide

3:24 am

sprite

yeah... well, people turn a blind eye to later risks in favour of profits now, alas.

3:25 am

joso

i figured out my spellcheck prob, spellcheck doesn't work in expert

3:25 am

sprite

ah. wel don't worry about it, we understand you just fine

3:29 am

puglet

I dont! lol

3:29 am

sprite

lol, bad pug ;P

3:30 am

puglet

you should read my sisters writing---its like a secret code between us-lol

3:30 am

sprite

hehehe

3:32 am

puglet

so Sprite how is it going with you -yourself

3:34 am

sprite

have been better, pug, but at least am moderately positive again. Had a bit of of a depressed spell last week. Spent most of yesterday on the phone talking with all the counsellors and advisers etc and it took a lot out of me. Doing a quiet day today... bit tense about son coming home later today.

3:35 am

puglet

Gradyn's father has invited me to his upcoming wedding and I feel like I would be bring bad luck to it due to his problems with my n5---whats your thought on it

3:35 am

sprite

no way you would bring bad luck. Go, pug, it is where you belong. Gradyn's dad wants you there and Gradyn wants you there. Best of luck, that would bring!

3:37 am

puglet

well no wonder with the drpression with all thats went on there. Will your hubby be there when he returns

3:37 am

sprite

no, probably not yet, pug.

3:38 am

puglet

do you like his girlfriend Rose? Is she good for your son

3:39 am

sprite

I don't know her well enough to say yet. So far, I like her. But her parents haven't called us to say Tim was staying with them. I find that worrisome.

3:41 am

puglet

I would too. Is she putting undue stress on him in some way

3:42 am

sprite

I wouldn't think so, that is not the impression I have anyway. He is more relaxed with her than I have ever seen him with his former girlfriend.

3:42 am

puglet

Iam really surprise that her parents lets him sleep with her

3:43 am

joso

Is all this krefuffle derailing your efforts to good diet and exercise Sprite?

3:44 am

sprite

the exercise I have managed to keep up, joso. The diet... let's say, much less so. Not totally out of the window, but yeah, had some binges.

3:44 am

sprite

pug, I think her parents think the same as we: once it is clear you cannot stop them, better to let them do it in a safe place, at home, than somewhere in the back of a car or worse.

3:46 am

puglet

binging not so bad as long as its healthy foods----and true Sprite..have you called and talked to them(her parents)

3:46 am

sprite

I don't even have their phone numbers, pug. Tim refused to give them. I had not asked before the whole mess blew up here. Should have.

3:47 am

joso

understandable, a fail should not stop you from trying again though, keep getting back on that horse. Do you find the bike helps you vent some anger and fustration?

3:48 am

puglet

well I guess if he was a problem there they wouldnt let him stay

3:48 am

sprite

not really, joso, but it sure helps me to exercise every day.

3:49 am

sprite

puglet, it seems the only place he is being a pest is at home. Other people are always crazy about him... such a polite, helpful, kind young man.

3:50 am

puglet

thats good in its self then. At least it looks good on you if nothing else-lol

3:50 am

sprite

lol pug :D
Well, the counsellor said it proves he feels safe at home. Guess that is a good point... sigh.

3:51 am

joso

I hope you can get to the bottom of it sprite, bad choices now can have long lasting effects in his life. Except for the family it's good that his actions are contained, at least so far.

3:52 am

sprite

we will do our very best, joso. have agreed to family counselling and all.

3:52 am

puglet

poor Sprite! the sun will shine again! lol--how long before your daughter hits the teens

3:52 am

sprite

she is already there, pug. She is 15. Right in the middle of it.

3:53 am

puglet

oh poor you

3:53 am

puglet

she into the boys yet

3:54 am

sprite

yeah, it is getting there. Very much giggling and whispering going on between her and her friends. And looking at boys, and judging... judging... judging... :)

3:55 am

joso

Don't berate yourself about things like not getting a phone number, note it, learn from it, but endless self recriminations (which you tend to do) are counter productive. Forgive yourself and move on to solutions insted of selfflagelation.

3:55 am

sprite

will keep that in mind, joso. You got me nailed there.

3:57 am

puglet

is this your son's senior year

3:58 am

sprite

no, he had to do last year over. Exams next year.

3:58 am

joso

And break those problems down into componet parts, if you stack them Up on top of each other they look much harder to deal with, seperate smaller problems have more aproachable solutions.

3:58 am

sprite

also a very good thing to keep in mind for me. Thanks joso.

3:59 am

puglet

is he then planning on going on in schooling

4:00 am

sprite

yes, but he still has no idea what exactly. I would prefer him going abroad for a bit, to be honest. He needs to mature.

4:04 am

puglet

Sprite, can he get schooling like through the army or such(dont know if you have these like us) He could travel plus get schooling

4:04 am

joso

And something i see you telling others that i think is very good advice, while worrying about all the others don't forget to tend to yourself, give yourself an occasional break, do something fun, even if just for 15 mins a day. Whatever does it for you, garden, sit outside in peace, read a good book, or a trashy romance, scan internet porn, whatever works for you.

4:05 am

sprite

we don't have draft here anymore, army schooling is not obligatory for boys here anymore. But yeah, he might go there and sign on for a period of time. Not sure he could handle the discipline and having to obey, though.

4:06 am

joso

once he signs it won't be his choice so much any more, heh heh heh

*grins* thanks joso! Will tell my husband you told me to do it (the porn, that is).
But seriously... yes, that is good advice. I will. Am babbling now, which is definitely me-time :D

4:06 am

sprite

I will carefully drop the idea. Perhaps I should phrase it like: "I really hope you are NOT contemplating going in the army for a while, are you?" :D :D

4:07 am

puglet

My nephew went from kindergarden thru high school and never missed one day--he got a award for that and just last week he made sargent. Hes making the service his living

4:08 am

sprite

wow, good for him, pug! Good man.

4:09 am

sprite

my son is lazy like nobody's business... not much chance he will go to the army. But it is certainly a good idea.

4:10 am

puglet

I got a full day ahead of taking people to town to take care of their stuff and pay bills===not looking forward to it too much.

4:10 am

joso

sorry to sound preachy, all I can do to help is advise and sympathise, but your suffering is over now, out of ideas.

4:11 am

sprite

joso, thanks for caring and sharing your advice, I really appreciate it.

4:11 am

sprite

would hate to see my son go out fighting though...

4:11 am

puglet

the service might do a world of good--who knows

4:12 am

puglet

I understand that Sprite

4:13 am

joso

kind of the obvious down side of the army.

4:13 am

sprite

absolutely, lol.

4:14 am

puglet

Iam afraid we are going to go into war with this thing with syria. though I understand the whys of it,I still hate to see it happen

4:14 am

sprite

yeah, am very afraid of what is happening there.

4:15 am

puglet

is your country thinking of getting involved Sprite

4:16 am

joso

yea, that looks like a very ugly mire to get involved in, but also hard to let all that suffering continue unabated. tough choice

4:16 am

puglet

what about your country Joso

4:17 am

sprite

doesn't look like it yet, pug, but that can change. It is scary.

4:17 am

sprite

anyway, that is fireflies for me. Off to take meds and do a spiel on the bike, I think. *hugs* to you all... thanks for being there!

4:17 am

joso

we are likely to follow US lead on this one, current government is a bit of a US suckup.

4:19 am

joso

also the reasons to get involved are better than they were with the 2nd iraq war.

4:19 am

puglet

If I were a person in a place like that I would like help--why a man has to be so evil is beyond me

4:20 am

puglet

yeah and we are still in that mess

4:20 am

joso

he is really in a box, likely be killed if he looses

4:20 am

puglet

kind of like a hitler deal it sounds like

4:22 am

puglet

did you serve Joso

4:24 am

joso

yea, no other country will take him so he can't leave. Pinochet was talked out of Argentina peacefully but years later they shipped him back to stand trial, even though he was garenteed imunity. things like that stick in the mind of a dictator.

4:25 am

puglet

Iam getting off to do a few things before going out.Enjoy your day Joso and Sprite.hugs and good bye

4:26 am

joso

no, most canadiens don't pug, only got one border and if you guys decide to get ugly not alot we could do, lol

4:27 am

joso

ok pug, hope you atleast enjoy the company of those you ferry about.

not "bad crazy", just busier than usual. I don't mind; at least I'm never bored

6:18 am

lbdawger

are the furballs keeping you busy?

6:19 am

rubyfoo

they are wonderful except that Moose Girl (Raffie, at 8 months, weighs about 45 lbs) goes after injured birds, just like a (hugwe) cat

6:22 am

lbdawger

is that an instinctual behavior for the breed?

6:23 am

rubyfoo

we've had 7 and she's the first to do that. She thinks she's a cougar

6:26 am

rubyfoo

I don't think it's much of a problem, I just cant watch

6:26 am

rubyfoo

otherwise, they are wonderful dogs

6:31 am

lbdawger

maybe she's been reincarnated from a feline? lol my little guy used to bring me his "catches" *shudder* i'd have to wrap them up and leave them outside away from his fence. most were just in shock, a few had to be disposed of.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

if I'm quick enough, I can rescue them, but as most have already crashed into the Windows, I think they'd die anyway

6:32 am

rubyfoo

chows are truly cat-like dogs

zoozzoom

Hello, Jmc :-)

12:04 pm

jmcnrick

mklien. . ..could you please reduce the size of your icon so I can see it

12:05 pm

jmcnrick

my phantom: lunch

12:05 pm

Nef

I haven't been able to play Babble at this time of day since our son, DIL and grandson moved in. Good to see old friends again! :-)

12:06 pm

zoozzoom

How is that working out for you, Nef?

12:06 pm

Judi

Afternoon, all! Uh oh, Nef has been boomeranged!

12:06 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Judi.

12:07 pm

Nef

It's -hard. :-( DIL is not doing well with change.

12:08 pm

Judi

Well, hopefully the situation is only very temporary, Nef.

12:08 pm

Nef

DIL is bipolar, and I don't know how my son has put up with her for almost 5 years.
I'd rather talk about fun stuff though.
How is everyone else doing these days?

12:09 pm

zoozzoom

Yes it can be difficult to adapt...but lets hope after a while they can move on and get things sorted.

12:09 pm

Judi

Fun stuff: Going to a wee family reunion next weekend.

12:09 pm

zoozzoom

Sorry for delay...bit of lag.

12:09 pm

Nef

Oooh! How many will be there, Judi?

12:10 pm

Nef

NP, zooz. I'm lagging too; not sure if it's me or the internet though ;-)

12:10 pm

Judi

I say wee because my family is very small. There will be seven of us.

12:10 pm

zoozzoom

Not bad this end, Nef...been having wonderful weather for a long time now..still in the seventies and it is September!

12:11 pm

zoozzoom

LOL..bless you, Nef.

12:11 pm

zoozzoom

Hope you have a great tiime, Judi :-)

12:11 pm

Nef

Wow, Judi. That is small. How far are they coming from?

12:12 pm

Nef

(I think it's a small family reunion when there are only 25 or 30; and that's just on my mother's side; so ignore that comment if it seemed rude)

12:13 pm

Judi

We are going to my brother's house in upstate NY. Step mom coming from Florida. Hubby and I will travel from Delaware. Everyone else is in NY.

12:13 pm

Nef

THat does sound like fun: seing people you don't see everyday!

12:14 pm

Judi

My husband, on the other hand, has a HUGE family. We've been married almost 28 years and I still can't keep all his relative straight.

12:14 pm

Judi

Oh, my nephew will be coming from Richmond.

12:15 pm

zoozzoom

Well done for the 28 years, Judi..you must get along so well.

12:16 pm

Judi

Thanks, zooz. We do just fine. :-)

12:17 pm

Nef

LOL! Same with my DH. His family is small and he loves being overwhelmed by my family. I have 58 first cousins on my mothers' side; the whole family (only 70+ now, the older generation is dying off) gets together about every 2-3 years now

12:17 pm

zoozzoom

Only 70+ LOL..like that is small!

12:18 pm

Judi

I tend to get a bit overwhelmed by his family. Assess to elbows with everyone is NOT my idea of a relaxing visit.

12:19 pm

Nef

Oh, dear, Judi. we at least spread out when we get together. There's usually several cribbage games and card games going, activities for the younger fols and food to feed the army.

12:19 pm

zoozzoom

I confess to being a miserable git..and prefer not too many people around me...not a good conversationalist i'm afraid.

12:21 pm

Judi

It's always cheerful, however, the noise really grates on my nerves after a while.

12:21 pm

Nef

my friends all laugh when I say I'm the quiet one in my family; but after he met my family, my DH vouches for me on that (we've been married almost 39 years; that's amazing to me!)

12:23 pm

zoozzoom

Oh that is the same amount of time as my parents, Nef!

12:23 pm

zoozzoom

the summer of 1974

12:25 pm

MollyL

ZOOM! You are NOT a miserable git!

12:25 pm

Nef

We were married in March of '75 (Sorry, had a phone call there)

12:26 pm

zoozzoom

((Molly))

12:26 pm

Nef

I have no idea what a "git" is, off to google it now....

12:27 pm

zoozzoom

Teehee.

12:27 pm

Judi

Prat, eegit.

12:27 pm

mklein

jmcnrick, Hope you are still here. Sorry about the size of my icon. I've been trying to change it, but so far have no luck.

12:27 pm

zoozzoom

If your icon is not old, Molly..then Happy birthday, Soodle..where ever you may be :-)

12:28 pm

zoozzoom

eegit hahaha i like that one best.

12:28 pm

MollyL

Nope, it's not old. Today is her day.

12:29 pm

zoozzoom

I bet, Soodle will be painting the town red tonight then!

12:29 pm

MollyL

Your icon size looks fine to me, MKlein.

12:29 pm

Judi

Not sure where "eegit" came from. I first noticed it in some modern Irish literature I read. Gaelic for "idiot" maybe?

12:29 pm

MollyL

Yes, idiot with an Irish brogue.

12:29 pm

zoozzoom

That is my understanding of the word too, Judi.

12:30 pm

Nef

according to the Urban dictionary, zoos; only one of those definitions (#3.) really "fits" you right. ;-)

12:30 pm

bichon

su 6/36, pls

12:30 pm

Nef

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.\nphp?term=git

12:31 pm

zoozzoom

I'll take it, Nef..not seen it though LOL

12:31 pm

zoozzoom

Ahh thanks..will take a look.

12:31 pm

Nef

(minus the "\n" of course)

12:31 pm

zoozzoom

Hot planet + early morning moisture. for the SU6

12:32 pm

Nef

Su*shine and morning *** (water)

12:32 pm

bichon

ty zooz and New. Never heard of that before

12:32 pm

MollyL

Sorry but Zoom is not a git. No one thinks of that in any way but negative.

12:33 pm

mklein

Mollyl, it looks ok to me too, but a bit distorted from the original. I haven't even been able to go to another image.

12:33 pm

Judi

I agree with Molly. Zooz definitely has non-git status here.

12:33 pm

Nef

well, Molly, I've never thought of it in any way before; so I kind of like #3. :-)

12:34 pm

Judi

However, you may be a curmudgeon, Zooz.

12:34 pm

Nef

mklein, when I first opened it, your icon in your profile was huge. Now it's normal sized. It's fixed.

12:38 pm

Judi

Off to do some real work. See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

12:39 pm

mklein

Thank you Nef. I think I may have finally got it changed now. We will see.

12:39 pm

Dorens

fa

12:40 pm

zoozzoom

Just checked out the word, Curmudgeon too..there are many meanings for that one too..i will settle for, grumpy middle aged man LOL

12:41 pm

MollyL

so la ti do

12:41 pm

zoozzoom

Bye, Judi :-)

12:41 pm

Dorens

12:41 pm

zoozzoom

Hello, Dorens!

12:41 pm

MollyL

n o p

12:42 pm

zoozzoom

Teehee.

12:43 pm

zoozzoom

I am sure it is expert babble that does that..i can not see how you could write a letter or two in the chog and press enter without realising it is written in the chatterbox.

12:44 pm

zoozzoom

Babble expert program even.

12:44 pm

MollyL

Babble Expert has a lot of glitches in it. That is one reason I don't use it.

12:45 pm

zoozzoom

Not used it in years myself either.

12:47 pm

Nef

wandered off for a minute there... I'd love to try Babble Expert, but there isn't a Mac program yet. :-(

12:48 pm

zoozzoom

I remember a while ago, Talk of a new babble look...but that seems to be dead in the water now.

12:49 pm

MollyL

The rumor mill says that Dr. God is no longer interested in upgrading Babble. Seems it's cost prohibitive.

12:50 pm

Nef

ohhh. That's too bad. Maybe we need to generate more members?

12:50 pm

zoozzoom

Thats fair enough i suppose..maybe an update of enable is all that is required.

12:50 pm

MollyL

More members is not what would generate money. Ads on the site would, but I'm guessing that is not the direction Dr. God wants to go in.

12:51 pm

Nef

Now THAT would be wonderful!

12:51 pm

Aloyisius

help! could use a clue for the pi7, tyvm in advance.. am once again rushing at a library

12:51 pm

MollyL

Well, I'm not holding my breath, since Enable has not been updated since 2000.

12:51 pm

Nef

(the suggestion of an update of Enable

12:53 pm

Nef

Sorry, Aloy, don't have it but am looking

12:54 pm

Aloyisius

nm, found it! (-: just had to ask

12:54 pm

zoozzoom

12:55 pm

zoozzoom

Glad you found it as i was struggling on how to clue it.

12:55 pm

Aloyisius

one to go, first su6... ty zooz, I figured it was a combo

12:55 pm

zoozzoom

I had to use morewords to get it myself.

12:56 pm

Aloyisius

for Nef: pi + double cons + burn the Y*** log at
Christmas

12:56 pm

zoozzoom

Hot planet + early morning moisture..for the SU6

12:56 pm

Nef

SU* + morning *** ON GRASS

12:56 pm

Nef

THANKS ALOY! :-)

12:56 pm

zoozzoom

I am assuming you wanted a clue..lol

12:56 pm

Aloyisius

Trying to get 100 words. Nasty little grid today.

4:32 pm

periwinkle

it is a nasty one

4:36 pm

MollyL

*Waves*

4:47 pm

stidgmere

Hi Molly. Caught up in the sc words and managed to get them at last.

5:07 pm

rururocks

I didn't find the grid nasty at all ... and I like nasty :D

5:15 pm

MollyL

*Cues up Janet Jackson's "Nasty Boy"

5:20 pm

Soodle

Nasty or not... After a lovely meal, more wine than is good for me, not one but TWO Irish Coffees, this grid can do what it wants! :-)

5:21 pm

MollyL

Ah, tis the birthday girl.

5:21 pm

Soodle

Slightly tottery, but here!

5:24 pm

MollyL

You should be tottery on your birthday.

5:28 pm

stidgmere

Many happy returns, Soddle. Lots of candles? Or did you do the double digit written number candles?

5:30 pm

MollyL

To quote the Ya-Ya Sisterhood movie "And I don't want candles on my cake. It would be like the burning of Atalanta."

5:30 pm

MollyL

Or Atlanta

5:30 pm

stidgmere

or Atlanta. Bad taste, though.

5:30 pm

Soodle

Thanks GMere. To slow down the global warming problem, I avoided candles.

5:32 pm

stidgmere

The whole world thanks you. The wishes go your way as fast as thought that this day and the year to come are both auspicious or as it is Rosh Hashana, have a Sweet Year.

5:32 pm

MollyL

Get hip. They couldn't convince anyone it was global warming so now they are pushing "climate change".

5:33 pm

stidgmere

I doubt if I get hipper as the years go by. Hippier, yes.

5:33 pm

MollyL

Ah yes, L' Shona Tova to all who celebrate.

5:34 pm

stidgmere

With this I shall bid adieu. Take care of yourselves.

5:34 pm

Soodle

Nite G'mere. And thanks. :-)

5:34 pm

MollyL

Goodnight Gran Mere

5:37 pm

Soodle

Even if my eyesight wasn't a tad blurry, I'd find this a tricky grid!
