thx for pe8, Volley

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

she wasn't one of the cuddly ones. A semi-longhair with a white star on her chest, she had an incredibly long tail, and loved to take the regal kitty pose, sitting tall with her tail wrapped around her. I could almost hear her say, "you may now admire me." She was too cool to purr, and showed affection by resting her chin, inasmuch as a cat has a chin, on the back of my hand. Her favorite exercise was to pounce on my toes as I wiggled them under the covers. Fond memories.

12:37 am

melonheadjujube

She was 12

12:38 am

rururocks

it is so hard to lose a loved pet

12:38 am

McLeach

you paint a picture, melon.:)

12:38 am

McLeach

that's the part that stinks about having pets, for sure

12:39 am

clue for one of the E's please - dont see anything at all ?

12:39 am

melonheadjujube

Her nickname was Mrs Whinestein, on account of a whiny meow, especially if she wasn't fed before I took my coat off on arriving home!

aw melon.. great stories

12:41 am

melonheadjujube

thanks.

12:42 am

we had a cat that would retrieve things like a dog

12:42 am

dizgrannie

ea 7/36

12:42 am

McLeach

ha, our animals often have their 'official' name plus nicknames (sometimes multiple nicknames too)

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

ty diz... new word for me

12:43 am

McLeach

ruru, so did we! two, actually. the first liked to retrieve a rabbit's foot and the other liked to retrieve plastic bottle caps

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

me 8/60

12:44 am

McLeach

on the not so awesome side, though, that first also liked to play soccer down the hall with her poop :eek:

12:44 am

rururocks

of course the other two cats thought that cat was crazy

12:44 am

McLeach

cats are crazy ;)

12:44 am

melonheadjujube

ruru, no two are alike. Our other cat lived to 18, huge greay and white with tabby markings, Missy K, aka Missy Cookie Jar, or, unkindly by her "uncle" Jabba the cat. She liked to sleep behind my head, which I tolerated even if it meant my feet were hanging off the bed! When her purr devolved into a diesel truck roar, I convinced her to take to the "ca chair", a ratty handmedown upon which they were permitted to scratch.

12:45 am

rururocks

i used to take sunday naps and the little black kitty "ninja" would come squeaking and run under the covers to cuddle with me

12:45 am

McLeach

yup, they sure do have such distinct personalities, quirks, likes/dislikes, etc.

12:46 am

melonheadjujube

McLeach, our's loved the "milk rings", the bit of plastic you pull off the plastic cap to a milk jug.

12:47 am

McLeach

our cats have always chosen their own toys, and usually not something we specifically intended to be a toy for them :p

12:47 am

melonheadjujube

did someone need help with re8?

12:47 am

McLeach

that would be me, melon!

12:48 am

melonheadjujube

well, for one thing, it's not an -ing word.

12:48 am

McLeach

okay, I was thinking it would be

12:49 am

It's part of a re7/8 pair. Here's a cryptic clue: It's hiding amongst stones, you'll find it in real igneous rocks.

12:53 am

melonheadjujube

12:57 am

ChrissieDee

I love cryptic clues and that was a beauty melon :)

I'm waiting for the other one we still have to come home yet. A few nights ago I heard a cat screaming outside and a ruckus, so went out to check to make sure mine was okay and couldn't find her. I kept checking and calling for about an hour to no avail. Then all of the sudden, I happened to catch a shadow of movement out the corner of my eye and discovered she had somehow managed to get up on the roof of the house. :p

1:12 am

melonheadjujube

OK, stopping at 150, top line greyed out. Fun grid. Thanks to all for kind words and sharing your cat-tales (; nite-nite [poof]

3:39 am

sprite

:D

3:39 am

rubyfoo

{{sprite}} Itried to call you last night, to tell you that joke as it was a terrible flop in my poor French, but I had written your number down so cryptically, that thecall wouldn't go through.

3:40 am

puglet

and did you have the son meeting yet

3:40 am

rubyfoo

Please e-mail me your phoneno, so |I can give you a chuckle

3:40 am

rubyfoo

Pugs" the joke is too risqué for yu lol

3:40 am

sprite

aw sweetie. Will email it to you :)

3:40 am

sprite

lolol ruby! Our poor innocent pug... ;)

3:42 am

puglet

Im just pleased you two get a chuckle because you guys need it! :)

3:42 am

rubyfoo

I don't want to lead pug astray!

3:42 am

rubyfoo

yA think?

3:43 am

puglet

thanks Ruby, but Iam not that innocent

3:43 am

sprite

*giggles* Pug is as bad as we are... she just hides it better.

3:43 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

3:43 am

rubyfoo

the problem with the joke was that \I think it needed a voice (and probably hand gestures)

3:43 am

rubyfoo

3:43 am

sprite

hiya Liz :)

3:44 am

Lizlin

Been skyping with England so a late start today.

3:44 am

Lizlin

Been skyping with England so a late start today.

3:44 am

Lizlin

Sorry!! Hit enter twice!

3:44 am

puglet

Hi ya Liz! hugs and how are you

3:44 am

sprite

lucky me, cause I just started as well

3:44 am

Lizlin

Hugs to you all :) Sorry I missed Rose but just e mailed her.

3:45 am

Lizlin

Big grid - hope I have time to complete it!

3:45 am

puglet

what is skyping? I see alot of people using this word

3:45 am

Lizlin

using the computer for a face to face phone call - it doesn't cost anything so I chatted to my friend in the UK for 30 mins and it was free!

3:45 am

sprite

it is a free way of telephoning over the computer, complete with camera images if you have webcam.

3:46 am

puglet

oh, thanks for the imfo

3:46 am

rubyfoo

I tried it but a combination f the delay and how awful I looked, turned me off

3:46 am

Lizlin

It works well for us but we've got a very good internet connection usually.

3:47 am

Lizlin

Are things just as sh***y as ever with the lawyers, ruby?

3:47 am

rubyfoo

worse, if you can imagine

3:47 am

rubyfoo

it's making e sick

3:47 am

Lizlin

:( very sorry to hear that. and the offspring no help, as ever.

3:48 am

sprite

*hugs ruby*

3:48 am

rubyfoo

and tomorrow "offspring" will be 50! totally unsympathetic

3:49 am

sprite

he should really be helping you, no matter what

3:49 am

rubyfoo

helping me? I'd be happy with a phone call!

3:50 am

puglet

does he live very far from you Ruby

3:50 am

sprite

on your behalf, I wouldn't. Phonecall AND help.

3:50 am

Lizlin

No doubt he expects special treatment for tomorrow!

3:51 am

rubyfoo

he lives in TX but he used to call me regularly. Since his visit in April, I've barely heard from him

3:51 am

puglet

Maybe Sprite could loan you her son! She needs a break from him--lol

3:51 am

Lizlin

Big hugs

3:51 am

rubyfoo

I've sent him a gift and an envelope full of interesting stuff. I'll e-mail him like there's nothing wrong

3:52 am

Lizlin

Good for you :)

3:52 am

sprite

ain't that the truth, pug :)

3:52 am

rubyfoo

at least there'd be something to work on; my son just says how busy he is but that everything is fine!

3:52 am

sprite

good for you, ruby.

3:52 am

Lizlin

Pugs = not sure that ruby would appreciate Tim while he's acting up!

3:52 am

rubyfoo

I'll call it "erev John's birthday"

3:52 am

Lizlin

Be good for sprite though.

3:53 am

rubyfoo

since I have no baggage with Tim, it would be easier for me to deal with than for Sprite. She could have John for a while and Denise, of course,who comes with

3:53 am

Lizlin

Two for the price of one!!!

3:53 am

Lizlin

You win though

3:54 am

sprite

no, ruby sure doesn't need our Tim in his current behaviour. I still say, send Tim to ruby's and get ruby overhere.

3:54 am

Lizlin

Ah! Now that would work out well for everyone!

3:54 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure she's the source of much of the friction as she doesn't like me, thinks I'm a terrible snob.ut of course acts sweet as pie when she's here

3:55 am

sprite

argh, I hate it when people do that.

3:55 am

Lizlin

Sounds like she's at the root of much of it then.

3:55 am

puglet

yeah, Sprite could hold Ruby's hand through all this

3:55 am

Lizlin

Nah! They'd both go out on the town!

3:56 am

sprite

we'd go and have fun in Amsterdam and Zaanstad, for sure.

3:56 am

puglet

does her family live in tx

3:56 am

rubyfoo

we could pig out on rijstafel, my favorite Oriental food

3:56 am

Lizlin

Perhaps add in a trip to London - Tim would be with Burt so he'd be OK.

3:57 am

rubyfoo

Denise has a huge family. Some in T, but John bought his huge house, 5 br etc, to accommodate her family

3:57 am

sprite

oh that would be easy here, ruby. We have all kind of rijsttafels. Indonesian, Chinese, Kantonese, you name it.

3:58 am

puglet

I bet they would just love it if you and burt dropped in for a few weeks(unannounce though)

3:58 am

rubyfoo

I'd be happy to go anyplace to get out of here, but it's impossible right now as Burt can't do anything on his own (except drive -- oi veh, whatever that means lol)

3:58 am

sprite

Liz, that would be awesome :)

3:58 am

Lizlin

Hah! Remember my hubby being over confident with the spicing in an Indonesian restaurant in Amsterdam!!!

3:59 am

sprite

*giggles* Yeah, errr, that wouldn't be wise.

3:59 am

Lizlin

lol ruby - oi veh indeed (whatever it means!!!)

3:59 am

Lizlin

Don't know if it was a rijsttafel - lots of dishes - each got spicier!

3:59 am

rubyfoo

there's probably an equivalent in Dutch lol

4:00 am

sprite

yep, sounds like one. Poor hubbby

4:00 am

rubyfoo

her family stays there a lot

4:00 am

sprite

wee mij, ruby, grin. Sure, we have it. Arme ik.

4:00 am

rubyfoo

And when I visited, Denise didn't even change the sheets in the guest rom (passive-aggressive, you think?)

4:00 am

Lizlin

It was just after the server had checked that it wasn't too hot - he'd said he was fine!!! Then he hit the spice!

4:01 am

Lizlin

Plain rude, I'd call it!

4:01 am

sprite

rude and dirty

4:02 am

sprite

hahahaha Liz... oh poor man, but I can't help giggling at the image.

4:02 am

rubyfoo

I didn't even tell John, no point

4:02 am

Lizlin

His mouth burnt for ages! It was our first time away together!

4:02 am

Lizlin

I must admit, I did laught.

4:02 am

Lizlin

Was sympathetic too!

4:02 am

sprite

so you had to do a lot of kissing to make it better :)

4:03 am

Lizlin

Who me??? Innocent look!

4:03 am

sprite

nice try, Liz, nice try. Not convincing though...

4:03 am

Lizlin

OK - yes, I'll admit it!

4:03 am

rubyfoo

when I worked with Burt, we used to have lunch in restos every day. One time, a macho Hispanic maager had lunch with us and added very hot peppers to his pasta. He sat there with his eyes streaming and his bald head sweating, and never said a word!

4:03 am

puglet

thats whats known as hot lips

4:03 am

sprite

hehehe

4:04 am

Lizlin

No ruby - right not to tell John. He'd only have got defensive.

4:04 am

Lizlin

Like that Pugs - i'll tell him!

4:04 am

sprite

hehehe ruby, a re4 macho man

4:04 am

sprite

lol pug :)

4:05 am

Lizlin

He laughed and admitted his ego got in the way!

4:05 am

rubyfoo

that was a painless 100, surrounded by my pals!

4:06 am

sprite

that is awesome. Good man.

4:06 am

sprite

popism - believing in the office of pope

4:31 am

puglet

all set now to carry on--lol

4:31 am

sprite

ah good. I could do with a coffee as well... shall I wait until my love awakes?

4:32 am

puglet

nah, enjoy a cup with me

4:32 am

sprite

great idea. *holds up cup*

4:32 am

o-o

rather innocuous grid

4:33 am

puglet

My sister is a big tea drinker and I got her this new tea(carmel vanilla) I gave it a try and it was really good

4:33 am

sprite

hi o-o, good to see you. Yeah, not as intimidating as the recent tiny bastards.

4:33 am

puglet

cups up!

4:34 am

sprite

aw that sounds good, pug. A sweet smell for sure.

4:34 am

puglet

Morning OO

4:34 am

sprite

that -ism ending in the corner seems to be rather disappointing though

4:35 am

puglet

it was Sprite! smelled better than it tasted really

4:35 am

sprite

grin, tea to make and not drink

4:39 am

puglet

sprite did you read OO's profile...another good one, thought the picture is a bit dark

4:45 am

sprite

I have now. Yeah, great text. I kinda like the dark icons... this one is perfect for Halloween.

4:46 am

puglet

Yeah it is good for Halloween but it reminds me of the death card

4:47 am

puglet

He had a real good one yesterday--made me cry

4:47 am

puglet

did you get to take the train yesterday

4:48 am

sprite

missed that one :(

4:49 am

sprite

yeah, my love took me to therapy yesterday (he had to hand in his business car for the duration of his holiday) and I took the tram and train back. My love and Terra were waiting for me when I stepped out of the train, we walked home together.

4:49 am

puglet

ahh that was nice

4:50 am

sprite

very much so.

4:51 am

sprite

the death card in tarot? It depics new beginnings, endings of a phase, not death, did you know?

4:51 am

puglet

how long is he off

4:51 am

sprite

depicts*

4:51 am

sprite

two whole weeks, pug.

4:52 am

puglet

No I didnt know that Sprite

4:52 am

puglet

you and him got any special plans

4:53 am

sprite

not me. Just trying to stay alive and as mentally healthy as I can manage is my pl4. His are to break out closet in our living room, add the space to the living room and put his desk there, with his computer.

4:54 am

puglet

so you getting your whole living room remodeled then-lol

4:55 am

puglet

sounds like a good time to go to Ruby's

4:55 am

puglet

well let him handle Tim for these 2 weeks

4:55 am

sprite

I could do without the mess and noise, to be honest. All I need to go bananas is losing my safe spot at home. But it will do Rob a world of good. He is happiest when remodeling the house.

4:56 am

puglet

Is he like Tim the Toolman? lol

4:56 am

sprite

don't know Tim the Toolman

4:57 am

puglet

oh it was a show on here starring Tim Allen

4:58 am

sprite

ah ok :) Probably, then. Rob is a carpenter, originally. He makes the most wonderful things with his hands. And enjoys the process.

4:58 am

puglet

He liked to fix things up by superfying his power tools and making a mess or causing caios

4:59 am

sprite

oh, lol, no, Rob is really handy. But he makes a mess and creates chaos like nobody's business. In the end, though, things will be better.

4:59 am

puglet

thats a good thing for you

5:01 am

sprite

yeah. Guess I will be staying a lot in my computer room the next 2 weeks. Wearing earplugs.

5:02 am

puglet

babble burbed

5:03 am

puglet

did they ever get done with the roadwork

5:03 am

sprite

hehehe yeah, situation back to normal

5:03 am

sprite

no, it is still going on, pug. But, thank God, no longer near our house. I can still hear it, but I don't see it anymore.

5:03 am

puglet

do you like building too

5:04 am

sprite

nooooooooooooooo! I want peace and quiet, a place for everything and everything in its place.

5:04 am

puglet

well that a plus then

5:05 am

puglet

when I had the horses and was in the barn alot I had to repair many things and build fence too

5:06 am

sprite

my body won't let me do stuff like that anymore. I used to like papering rooms and reshuffling the furniture.

5:07 am

puglet

my body dont get near the exercise as it did when I had horse and I miss the riding and cleaning and packing feed and hay, all that goes with that

5:08 am

puglet

I feel like a whale stuck on the beach now :(

5:08 am

sprite

I can imagine. It is a great feeling to have your body do hard word and managing.

5:09 am

sprite

I am certain you don't look like one at all, pug *hugs*

5:09 am

puglet

I know, I feel I have nothing to pull me out anymore

5:10 am

puglet

Maybe a baby one but I feel like one,even if I dont look like one

5:10 am

sprite

can't you chip in at a neighbour's farm?

5:11 am

sprite

you are a beautiful, strong and loving lady, pug. Believe it.

5:11 am

puglet

my neighbors are mostly amish and they have large families and too our neighbors are not very chummy

5:12 am

puglet

They tend to stay to themselves(the amish)

5:14 am

sprite

yeah I heard that about them. But still. Maybe there is a non-Amish farm nearby where they can use an extra hand sometimes. No need to get chummy, just pitching in.

5:15 am

puglet

no Sprite theres not. If someone needs help they hire the amish boys. Most dont want a woman

5:16 am

sprite

darn. I think something like that would do you good.

5:18 am

o-o

I often seek oblivion. This quote captures whey:

a few years ago Sprite (when I had the last of my horses) two of my sisters and I cleaned out a path to put up electric fence(cost me about 600.$)This was at my campgrounds. Anyway I took the mare and her colt down there came home and in 15 minutes they were back up here! Tore it all down--lol

5:19 am

sprite

So very true, that quote. And just living on from day to day can be a terrible struggle.

5:19 am

sprite

argh, pug, how horrible!

5:21 am

puglet

good one again OO

5:22 am

puglet

it wasent very funny Sprite. Three strands of wire and two months of hard work for such a small sucess

5:22 am

sprite

your presence has meaning for me, o-o. So does your advice. I have a wake-up light now and use it every morning, to see if I can battle the winter depression that way.

5:23 am

sprite

so frustrating, pug! Silly horses.

5:23 am

puglet

they had that wire clear down through 2 peoples yards

5:26 am

puglet

Sprite is your winter just starting

5:29 am

puglet

its on the cool side here--34 and to climb into the 50's today

5:30 am

crosshair

i have this counterweight thing that hooks over a top of a door and it has a chin harness and as you add weight it is suppsed to relieve pressure on the herniated disks

5:30 am

puglet

English was my best subject in school

5:31 am

puglet

does it work Crossy

5:31 am

crosshair

do not know.it is still in the box,but i promise i will set it up today after school because i need some relief

5:31 am

sprite

sounds like a torture machine to me, crossy, but I guess traction is good when herniated. Sorry to hear you are still having trouble.

5:33 am

crosshair

to start it says set up 8 pounds of counter weight and use for 15-20 minutes twice a day

5:33 am

crosshair

and slowly add weight but never exceeding 20 pounds

5:34 am

puglet

Hugs Sprite and Crossy got to run.Have a good day you guys. bye bye

5:34 am

crosshair

and to consult doc on weight settings

5:34 am

crosshair

5:36 am

sprite

I just got served a coffee... wiener melange. Am a happy trooper.

5:37 am

joso

ah, yes, if you are not familiar with the expression 'in fine fiddle' is a good thing.

5:37 am

sprite

I figured that. As opposed to 'in a fine pickle', right?

5:37 am

joso

an older expression, not used much any more

5:38 am

sprite

I love old expressions. In dutch and in english. Guess that is why I like enable.

5:38 am

sprite

speaking of enable, explain to me why la6 is valid and internet isn't... crazy.

5:39 am

joso

like I have la6 yet

5:40 am

joso

internet is probably just too new for enable

5:40 am

Kallia

la6 as in table that goes across your legs Sprite

5:40 am

sprite

lol... compound la6.

5:40 am

Kallia

hello all

5:40 am

sprite

ahhh! Thanks Kallia, didn't know there was a meaning before the computer. Now it makes sense... for enable. And hi :)

5:40 am

joso

hi kallia

5:41 am

sprite

Kallia, is that you in the icon?

5:41 am

Kallia

and we say in fine fettle Joso :)

5:45 am

Kallia

better to call them that then wrinkles lol

5:46 am

sprite

hehehe they are GOOD rimples. Lovely.

5:46 am

Kallia

rimples....a lovely word :)

5:47 am

sprite

oh! Jeezz how silly of me. Rimpels = dutch for wrinkles.

5:47 am

joso

she is right, there are laugh line wrinkles and scowl wrinkles, makes the world of difference

5:47 am

Kallia

love it, think I will use it in future!

5:47 am

sprite

:D

5:48 am

sprite

and worst of all are faces that are botoxed or facelifted wrinkle-less. Better a good scowl than that.

5:49 am

Kallia

oh I agree...when I see some of the older celebs...I just think 'and they think they look good'?????

5:49 am

Kallia

men as well as women

5:49 am

sprite

5:51 am

joso

Kallia

6:16 am

rubyfoo

btw

6:16 am

rubyfoo

I'm back

6:16 am

{{crossy}} and it's even Tuesday

6:16 am

sprite

hi ruby, ap10

6:17 am

rubyfoo

ty sprite, never would have seen that

6:17 am

crosshair

((ruby tuesday!!))

6:18 am

sprite

guess it is the british spelling that is making it hard to find.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

has anybody heard of a series "Lilyhammer"?

6:18 am

sprite

not me

6:19 am

crosshair

not i

6:19 am

rubyfoo

I've only seen 2 episodes of the 8, but it is exceptionally funny and well-written, starring one of Tony Soprano's henchmen

6:19 am

rubyfoo

It should be subtitled "Organized crime comes to Norway" and the whole premise is a hoot!

6:20 am

sprite

oh wow, just looked it up and it didn't seem funny at all, how interesting that it is :)

6:20 am

boatierra

I'm in love with the puzzle. Fantastic letter combos :)

6:20 am

rubyfoo

what's funny is how corrupt the seemingly-innocent rural Norwegians are and how Giovanni is absolutely Manichean and solves everybody's problems

6:21 am

sprite

it is a good one, isn't it boatierra :)

6:21 am

rubyfoo

hello boatierra

6:21 am

sprite

will keep an eye out, ruby. It might come to the netherlands some day.

6:21 am

crosshair

the two p,s and the gerund make the first 100 words just fly onto your list

6:21 am

boatierra

Hey ruby. Man, those innocent yet corrupt Norweigian. Can't turn your back on them.

6:22 am

crosshair

they biting the heads off of kippers again? :)

6:22 am

rubyfoo

it's such a funny idea and written by a combination of Norwegians and Steven Van Zandt.

6:22 am

sprite

my first endings were the past tense and person who. Then I spotted the gerund. And the -ism but that seems to be hopeless.

6:22 am

sprite

lol crossy!

6:23 am

boatierra

Same here sprite, all those endings. Oh! Didn't see the -ism. Thank you :)

6:24 am

sprite

nah, don't thank me, it seems to be a dead one.

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I still don't even have half

6:24 am

boatierra

I'm seeing that now, bummper.

6:24 am

boatierra

That would be bummer, not bumper.

6:24 am

boatierra

pism

6:25 am

sprite

yeah. I have tried ugh words there, lol. But not one takes. I have put popism into the babble dictionary as the believe in the pope as an office.

6:26 am

boatierra

Popism, sounds like a saying :) Oh you know the old popsim...

6:26 am

crosshair

"win one for the gi 6/30!"

6:26 am

6:36 am

7:12 am

crosshair

that is what drives me nuts about Microsoft word. half the time you first draft looks like it is full of errors until you remember americanisms vs can/aus/uk

7:13 am

Lizlin

US spelling in the grid often catches me out.

7:13 am

crosshair

can you set word for different keyboard recognition?

7:14 am

Lizlin

I use open office but my language is always set for UK English

7:14 am

crosshair

i shall have to look into it

7:14 am

crosshair

i use open office at home but in class i am stuck with MS office

7:15 am

Lizlin

I'd've thought if you go into tools when in Word, you can change the language

7:15 am

crosshair

good thing is that with open office i can do homework and transfer it seamlessly to the class computer

7:16 am

Lizlin

It would be a major pain if you couldn't

7:16 am

crosshair

most likely you are correct, liz

7:16 am

BzznBea

My six year old grandson's favorite word is in the grid today.

has everyone tried google today?

8:12 am

hurshy

super fun

8:13 am

72 Temple Owl

hurshy, did you get my url about mint cookies yesterday?

8:14 am

hurshy

yes, thanks!

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

i highyly recommend them. i found them before the walmart ones.

8:17 am

hurshy

i shall try. the thing i like about the walmart ones is, unlike with milanos, where i can't stop eating them, i can have a serving size and be satisfied.

8:18 am

hurshy

maybe because they have more mint, like IN the cookie, instead of the layer of mint inside, or something.

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

that is funny, i felt the same way about the moravians, but i seemed to build up a tolerance for them.

8:25 am

Judi

Good morning, darlings!

8:25 am

hurshy

mornin judi

8:26 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my, judi, where did you find that icon pic?

8:27 am

Judi

Ha ha, TO. I stumbled upon it on Google.

8:28 am

Matches

clue for the 10 please

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

a complete joke, i take it. because the eggs symbolize new life.

8:28 am

Haz1558

Have you seen the Google animation for today? It celebrates the first parachute jump over 200 years ago and you can guide the parachute down yourself.

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

in this area two school have bainshed all reference to halloween.

8:29 am

Judi

Oh, how cute, Haz. I'll have to go play.

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

aw. too bad my browser won't allow it. and very nice to see you, haz.

8:30 am

Judi

I hope it's a joke, TO. It's too ridiculous to be serious. Then again, there are those who ban Halloween. The world is going mad.

8:30 am

Haz1558

It's great - innocent fun for all.

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

please. we are fiddling while rome burns.

8:31 am

Haz1558

The parachute jump, I mean, halloween has become a bit too ghoulish for my taste.

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

no, haz, it's not. it's a christian holiday and not everyone is christian, so one gets into constitutional issues.

8:31 am

72 Temple Owl

meanwhile, johnny can't re4.

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

but hey, his constituional rights are being protected.

8:32 am

Haz1558

We never used to have the whole trick or treat thing but it's become more and more the norm.

8:32 am

72 Temple Owl

and we should not go farther down that road.

8:32 am

Judi

Halloween is a christian holiday?? I didn't know that. I thought it was just something that evolved from a harvest festival or something.

8:33 am

mab

as a non-christian, i find that somewhat silly. it is such a secularized day.

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

funny, it;s become the second biggest retail holiday here, esp in te4s of decorating. i ind it rather stupid.

8:33 am

mab

on the other hand, some observant jews do not observe it.

8:33 am

72 Temple Owl

from all saint/souls days

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

i love the mexican day of the dead and some day hope to be there for it. it really celebrated those who have died.

8:34 am

Judi

WHAT. EV. ER. People need to lighten up, tolerate, and stop sucking all the fun out of everything.

8:34 am

Haz1558

It's supposed to be the eve of all saints day but somehow it has gone all zombie and nasty. As children we used to have false faces of animals, now it's zombies and witches and scary people.

8:35 am

MimiCat

Judi, I absolutely agree with you!

8:36 am

72 Temple Owl

as scary has evolved, so has halloween. we were about witches and goblins and ghouls. think william castle vs. reddie kruger

8:36 am

mab

i do feel, in the u.s., halloween sort of fosters unhealthy attitudes toward death, and it's become so scary.

8:36 am

hurshy

well it's sort of like how mardi gras is "christian" in that it is the last day before lent. but really, i mean, it's lent that is the christian holiday.

8:37 am

hurshy

it all sort of reminds me of that one original series star trek episode with that buttoned up society that had "the red hour" each day or something, where everyone went crazy and could do anything, and nobody was safe.

8:37 am

72 Temple Owl

well, as kids we loved to be scared. but what is portrayed in movies and tv as scary is too close to real life.

8:37 am

Judi

Now we call it "happy hour".

8:37 am

MimiCat

I used to love Halloween both as a child myself and when my children were young. It was just fun. Come on, people, can't we just enjoy something rather than analyze it, pardon the expression, "to death?"

8:38 am

72 Temple Owl

lol@ judi. cheers!

8:38 am

Haz1558

As long as you allow people the right to not enjoy things.

8:38 am

mab

the issue, though, is celebrating it in school. surely it can be done outside of school

8:38 am

72 Temple Owl

ok, shall i declare the bar open?

8:39 am

Judi

So, true Mimi. Halloween is about pretending and dressing up for fun. Not to mention, some people like to be scared. Otherwise, there would be no roller coasters or Disney World wouldn't have a Haunted Mansion.

8:39 am

MimiCat

Many people have absolutely perfected the art of NOT enjoying things.

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

i cannot weigh in on that, since i went to private schools.

8:39 am

hurshy

then again - our custodian here has a phobia about people in costumes, so even the "innocent" forms of halloween are terrifying to her! lol

8:40 am

MimiCat

I mean, really, it's one day in the year and people should take responsibility for their children's attitudes toward this and everything else. My kids LOVE Halloween to this day and they're adults...hasn't turned them into serial killers!

8:40 am

Haz1558

I wonder if the fear of costumes has a phobia name?

8:40 am

mab

and candy, it's about candy. a good thing. love sweets.

8:41 am

hurshy

probably, haz

8:41 am

mab

of course, in the u.s. if you can commercialize something and sell lots of stuff, well then.

8:41 am

Alleyn58

Hint for the ap 10 pls

8:41 am

Haz1558

I should use google to look it up but I might end up directing parachutes.

8:41 am

Judi

I love the entertainment value of Halloween. Kids look adorable, there are parades and parties. It's a FUN thing.

8:41 am

8:42 am

Haz1558

That's the thing, the US has influenced the type of halloween we have in Britain.

8:42 am

mab

i hate that.

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

remember when your parents put you into dad's flannel shirt, cokered your face and made you a hobo pack? that simple.

8:43 am

72 Temple Owl

or threw a sheet overyou?

8:43 am

MimiCat

To change the subject, I have a Nature show about hummingbirds that my cats LOVE. They're fascinated watching. One goes up to the TV and can't seem to understand why he can't touch them!

8:44 am

mab

aww. my cats would loove that.

8:44 am

mab

well, one of them would

8:44 am

Judi

On the other hand, Guy Fawkes has become a bit more popular here in the States, Haz. Guy wasn't exactly known as a fun-loving guy.

8:45 am

MimiCat

It's so much fun watching them watch TV. My Pywakit especially loves it. Gives them a bit more stimulation during part of the day.

8:46 am

Judi

Off to run a few work errands. BBL. *POOF*

8:46 am

MimiCat

With perhaps one exception, hurshy?!!! Me?

8:47 am

hurshy

well, are you in charge of naming new phobias?

8:47 am

Haz1558

I wonder who is in charge? And can you imagine how long the German versions must be?

8:48 am

72 Temple Owl

bye judi. and bye all. the rils are having a day out toeday and i'd best et moving before time gets away from me.

8:48 am

MimiCat

Nah...I'm not in charge of much of anything and, frankly I like it that way!

9:15 am

Haz1558

Is your mum doing okay? I know you still miss your dad and so must she.

9:16 am

Scrabbler

Ty for clue, Haz. Mom is doing ok. For a few months now she can talk about Dad without crying.

9:17 am

Haz1558

That's good, at least you can see that she's making progress. Time heals if you allow it.

9:18 am

Haz1558

Pepsi (for the coke rival)

Yes. Grief is brutal.

9:25 am

hurshy

279

9:25 am

Haz1558

Some of the games are timed and I'd like to know how important the time is versus doing it carefully.

9:26 am

gran

Right I have 278 - still looking for the po 7/36

9:26 am

hurshy

plural of po6/24

9:26 am

Haz1558

Are there two po7/36?

Don't know, Haz. I was late starting and still have 74 words to find.

Hi Aloy.

Got that one - it is the last po 7/36 that I am struggling on

9:30 am

Scrabbler

Haz, I am amazed that nrkii dominates the games everyday.

9:30 am

Jacula

I'm trying to think which one is Kimberley.

9:31 am

Haz1558

She's the black girl with the beaming smile.

9:31 am

Haz1558

Scrabbler, I think we need to find out her techniques or maybe she's just extra brainy.

9:32 am

Jacula

Oh, yes. It's down to her, Frances and Ruby now.

9:32 am

Jacula

BTW, Haz. I've recently updated my blog (in case you'd given up looking).

9:32 am

Haz1558

I could tolerate being in a kitchen with her, I couldn't tolerate Ruby's mess and moaning.

9:33 am

Jacula

Yes, Ruby is a moaner. I was about to say that. LOL

9:33 am

Haz1558

I'll check it out, Jacula.

9:34 am

Jacula

Now making it clear we're talking about Bake-Off contestants Ruby, Frances and Kim, NOT any Babblers who share those names!

9:34 am

Haz1558

I have no doubt that she's very talented but have some joy in the kitchen! My daughter describes her as 'Droopy'

9:34 am

Jacula

Lol - 'droopy' covers it, Haz. :)

9:34 am

I've just started this grid and am having fun (so far). I imagine it gets harder the longer I play though.

11:24 am

It's an interesting grid, I think.

11:26 am

Nef

I've been here less than 15 minutes and have 60 words found so far! :-) I'm always encouraged by that!

11:28 am

Haz1558

You'll find a lot more, I'm sure, but it's always nice to rattle off a good number at the start.

11:29 am

Nef

It is, isn't it? I need to entertain my grandson in a bit; so won't be on here much longer, but if I can get to 100 before then I may be able to finish later tonight!

shirl, am sorry you missed out this time...just don't give up on trying hun. you never know, an even b etter position may be just around the corner.

8:07 pm

Shirlockc

thx for the support, just feeling my age. i've been in digital for a long time and i guess the impression is i haven't made an impression

8:08 pm

grannyrose

it's very frustrating isn't it? you know you have the skills to offer, and they are just not appreciated.

8:09 pm

Shirlockc

or maybe i am overreaching

8:10 pm

grannyrose

i don't think so....you just need a fair go, is all.

8:12 pm

sorry i missed mimi(just read back) she keeps me up to speed on all the good movies buried in netflix

You will not know unless you try. Negative chatter is devastating .... Cognitive distortions are too. Accentuate the positive .. as the song goes.

8:14 pm

we will hook up i am sure. i have 2 conversations going in skype,2 e mail accounts open and and in and out of here and am also playing music vid clips. if i add one more thing to this ole machine i think it will just explode!

8:16 pm

crosshair

8:17 pm

grannyrose

lolo. crossie, was wondering what was going on in your he4, now i know...

8:18 pm

o-o

Is there any literature on the attention span of a goldfish?

8:19 pm

crosshair

granny,you would be horrified if you knew all that was going on in my head at any given moment

8:19 pm

crosshair

yes there is o-o. it is aprox 4 seconds

8:19 pm

crosshair

some say a bit more,some a bit less

8:20 pm

grannyrose

i believe it, crossie...

8:21 pm

o-o

I understand the attention span is quite good for what a goldfish has for brain matter.

8:21 pm

dan2bit

what were we talking about? ooh shiny

8:21 pm

crosshair

well,if the fish can remember to eat,swim and poop that just about covers it all

8:22 pm

grannyrose

roflol

8:22 pm

crosshair

i used to like shiny things, dan,but it ended up taking too much concentration

8:23 pm

crosshair

what do we want?? "A CURE FOR ADHAD!!" when do we want it? "SQUIRREL!!!"

8:23 pm

grannyrose

crossie, you've been talking to joso???

8:23 pm

crosshair

nope

8:25 pm

grannyrose

well that's what he says my problem is...i keeping being distracted by the squirrels, and miss huge chunks of chog...lol

8:26 pm

crosshair

sorry,was watching the cat clean its face. i am back now,granny

8:26 pm

o-o

While most people believe that the attention span of a goldfish is a few seconds this has been proven wrong. A study done by the School of Psychology at the University or Plymouth in 2003

8:26 pm

crosshair

yes, bet they studied the dilema for all of five minutes before firing up their facebook accounts lol

8:26 pm

o-o

blah blah blah

8:27 pm

grannyrose

lol, crossie....

8:27 pm

Humans: The average attention span in 2012 8 seconds
The average attention span of a gold fish 9 seconds

8:40 pm

MimiCat

Even though all three of mine have college degrees and have been self-sufficient since age 18 but I get no credit for that....that's OK...I now have grandchildren I can spoil rotten, turn against their parents, fill full of sugar and send home!

grandchildren are a parents reward for not killing off their own brood

I once told my best friend that I now know why some animals eat their young....

8:42 pm

i told him that too. when he was ten or so ":i can take you out boy and make another one that looks just like you" a few years later he said "dad, you better be nice to me because i get to decide which home you go into when you are older"

Oh and I really really like you icon

10:41 pm

Bugsaw

good plan ruru. My loving husband (who has a hoarding gene, I swear) collects "good stuff that other people throw away." Tonight he came home with a dead washing machine that his brother wanted taken to the dump and now wants to hook it up in the back yard and then let the water just pee out all over the lawn.....

10:41 pm

saanichcat

hello heelo to oyou too!

10:41 pm

Bugsaw

I WILL NOT LIVE IN DOGPATCH, no matter how much I love him, so I have to calm down

10:42 pm

Bugsaw

hi saanich. sorry about the rant

10:42 pm

mab

sounds very trying, i think. worth a rant.

10:42 pm

grannyrose

poor bugsy. at least it's not costing you anything. mine, on the other hand, spends the better part of everyday cruising through web sites, looking for something to spend his money on.

10:42 pm

Bugsaw

and I don't want to entertain friends in Dogpatch either.

10:43 pm

grannyrose

DH is on a first name basis with the postman, and both couriers who deliver to our area.

10:44 pm

Bugsaw

I work to be grateful for that granny but I will have to spend thousands to clear it all out later if I can't get him to only bring home things he actually can use.

10:44 pm

saanichcat

my ex was a bringer of junk too... "But was on SALE!!" etc

10:44 pm

Bugsaw

I would like him to fix and sell it or fix it and donate it to the women's shelter so they can give it to a worthy person. He just wants to keep it.

10:45 pm

grannyrose

here's a thought..try....thank-you dear, i know exactly what i will plant in that...

10:45 pm

joso

when you chase someone else on sadie hawkins day maybe he will get the hint

10:46 pm

Bugsaw

so saanich, when you asked him if he needed it tho, did he respond, "I will now". I am sure others understand my plight and it feels good not to be alone

10:46 pm

saanichcat

I have a friend who owns 20 boats ranging in size from 14 - 26 ft. In his backyard. He has never used them.

10:46 pm

grannyrose

omg, saani....

10:46 pm

Bugsaw

joso and granny, I love those ideas. Bring on more! I am starting to feel better

10:47 pm

saanichcat

I persuaded him to part with a lovely Davidson dingy.

10:47 pm

saanichcat

so when you come to vist we can go boating

10:48 pm

Bugsaw

I can't beat 20 boats but we do have 2 boats (that have never seen water) and a 42 foot long landing barge

10:48 pm

Bugsaw

I would love it saanich. I have always said the only boat I have ever wanted is a little row boat

10:49 pm

saanichcat

my ex brought home two of those plywood boxes on wheels with a well in it to hold a till - ywo rolling till carriers.

10:49 pm

mab

a barge!

10:49 pm

Bugsaw

or, if you are that persuasive, perhaps you can get him to part with something

10:50 pm

mab

you must live on the water?

10:51 pm

saanichcat

I'll try Bugs. He is possessive pun intended about his STUFF

10:52 pm

saanichcat

Mab I live across the street from the water, so lucky!

10:52 pm

Bugsaw

yes mab but we are not on the water. It is in our back yard. He has another one he pays rent for because I only agreed to 1. If I weren't so embarrassed would post a picture of his part of the yard as an icon.

10:52 pm

joso

one hopes so, and with a large property, it would all be so much worse if bugsaw lived in a 5th floor walkup bachelor.

10:52 pm

saanichcat

hahaha love to see it!

10:53 pm

mab

maybe with some clever plantings....

10:53 pm

grannyrose

oh, oh, bugsy.....why don't you cut off the power cords? then look quizzically at him and say, didn't you see the cords were missing dear?

10:53 pm

saanichcat

heya Stid!!

10:53 pm

Bugsaw

when he had it brought here, the neighbours started calling me Mrs. Noah and asked what we knew that they didn't. They have been wonderful about the increasing hoard.

10:53 pm

mab

preferably a vine

10:54 pm

saanichcat

10:54 pm

*thinking the rinse cycle on the backyard washer must be really fun at Bug's house *

11:03 pm

Bugsaw

there was only one wall put up but there were pictures of stidkid2 "in" his bedroom etc.

11:04 pm

yes, Grant is trying to be nonchalant, but I think inside he is ready to go home, too. But I also think he is scared of the memories (and so am I, a little). I hope that having a completely new house will make it easier.

been sick for a couple weeks; started with cough; progressed to sinus junk and now that stuff is causing stomach issues and nothing stays where it should

yuck, poor curls. cup of hot water/tea, very little milk. steam will help sinuses to drain, and will break down the viscosity.
