2:10 am

grannyrose

thanx everyone

2:10 am

puglet

Iam glad you are back to Dee

2:10 am

rururocks

I hate ending on a dumb word I shouldn't miss

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

I agree, ru.

2:10 am

VolleymomDee

Dog question....

2:10 am

rururocks

sure dee go ahead

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

Last time our "granddog" visited, she got excited and peed in the living room. I sprayed it and cleaned that area, but I noticed tonight when she arrived, she sniffed that area. Is she going to pee there again? What else can I do besides clean the area?

2:12 am

rururocks

is she a young dog or a little dog?

2:12 am

VolleymomDee

It is carpet... not tile or wood

2:12 am

grannyrose

dee, did you clean with an ammonia-based cleaner?

2:13 am

VolleymomDee

not sure what is in it... it was a cleaning spray we have always used for spot cleaning

2:13 am

rururocks

dee? is she a young dog or a little dog?

2:14 am

VolleymomDee

She is an American bull dog... but she looks like the dog on the Little Rascals... I think she is 5 years old...(at least not a puppy)

2:14 am

rururocks

ok..

2:15 am

rururocks

here's what I'd do.

2:15 am

VolleymomDee

middle sized

2:15 am

lynxxx

I would just tell her a sharp no if she sniffs the area. Bitches are as bad as dogs at marking

2:15 am

rururocks

Have them take her first out to the back yard BEFORE she comes in the house and have her do her business so that she doesn't do it again

2:15 am

rururocks

IF she goes to the area.. you tell her no.. LEAVE IT

2:16 am

grannyrose

hmmm, ammonia-based cleaner would have 'wiped' out her scent. lay down newspaper over the area. or get some aluminium ammonium sulphate spray. cats, dogs, birds, possums do not li4 it.

2:16 am

rururocks

you can also have a squirt gun with H20 so if she sniffs it you can squirt her and reinforce the no

2:16 am

rururocks

I agree with Lynn.. she might try to mark it again

2:16 am

VolleymomDee

k... so far tonight, we didn't find any piddles... sniffed once and Lindz told her "No!" and she left area... was just not sure what to expect tomorrow.

2:17 am

bfdeele

Sponge the area with a baking soda solution to take away the odor or white vinegar will probably work too.

2:17 am

rururocks

make sure she goes outside before getting excited in the house

2:17 am

VolleymomDee

that is what I was afraid of...will white vinegar discolor the carpet?

2:17 am

lynxxx

sometimes ammonia cleaner - which smells like urine - will actually attract dogs though

2:17 am

rururocks

dogs can smell through anything

2:17 am

rururocks

it's unbelievable

2:18 am

lynxxx

Ru is right - squirt gun is really good idea for unwanted behavoir

2:18 am

VolleymomDee

I would worry that ammonia would discolor also. There will be about 25 people here tomorrow, so I will really need to watch her...

2:18 am

rururocks

it's probably on the under pinings in the carpet dee

2:18 am

bfdeele

I don't know if vinegar will discolor the carpet or not. I use an enzyme cleaner from the pet store for my cats. Don't have a dog.

2:18 am

grannyrose

ruru, not through the aluminium ammonium sulphate. have used with great success

2:18 am

puglet

you can also take a little bit of vicks and rub over the area too

2:19 am

rururocks

all you can do is let the dog outside and be vigilant if she goes to the spot

2:19 am

rururocks

that's a good idea pugs

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

If she does it again, I'll call the professional cleaner we have used before. I do have a cleaner for my bissell, which is supposed to be good for animals... I might try that after they leave.

2:19 am

puglet

or buy some doggie diapers

2:19 am

VolleymomDee

vicks... interesting...

2:20 am

rururocks

LOL pugs

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

and the aas doesn't stain, rose?

2:20 am

VolleymomDee

lol, pug... good idea

2:21 am

rururocks

I don't know the breed that well but she might have a small bladder complicating things

2:21 am

VolleymomDee

If it happens again, I may just have to use it as an excuse to put down a new wood floor LOL

2:21 am

rururocks

that's a win win dee

2:22 am

lynxxx

Bye everyone

2:22 am

rururocks

bye lynn

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

Exactly, ru, breed is prone to bladder infections, too. I actually think last time when it happened, she was just really excited to see my hubby. They are buddies, and she had been in the car 2 hours... I think she didn't stay outside long enough before they brought her in the house.

2:22 am

puglet

How far is she traveling before she gets to your home Dee

2:22 am

VolleymomDee

Bye, Lynn ty for your help!

2:23 am

VolleymomDee

from Indy to Warsaw... 2 to 2 1/2 hours

2:23 am

rururocks

that's the first thing she needs to do before greeting everyone .. is go in the yard

2:23 am

puglet

bye Lyn

2:23 am

rururocks

my dogs learn to pee on command

2:23 am

puglet

maybe your hubby could woo her before coming into the house

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

Yeah, I think my daughter goofed last time (or had to go herself first)

2:24 am

VolleymomDee

LOL... great idea pug

2:24 am

puglet

what kind of dogs do you have Ruru

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

When she is home and they are at work, she holds it for a very long time, without incident. She has become a great dog (and I am not fond of animals in the house...)

2:25 am

rururocks

Golden Retrievers

2:25 am

VolleymomDee

Thanks all for the input! I best get going...

2:26 am

puglet

those are nice friendly dogs

2:26 am

rururocks

well.. good luck dee. .. instruct hubby to greet the dog in the yard first

2:26 am

puglet

bye Dee and good luck on your dinner tomorrow

2:26 am

rururocks

she can pee on his shoes :D

2:26 am

VolleymomDee

Sounds good... very helpful. Hugs to all. Have a great eve / day!!!

2:28 am

puglet

do you raise GR's Ruru

2:28 am

rururocks

they are really nice dogs pugs

2:28 am

rururocks

yes.. used to show them and compete with them

2:28 am

rururocks

Dylan's Uncle was my best dog

2:29 am

rururocks

we had two litters too.. nice pups

2:29 am

puglet

I have never owned any myself but I have had friends with them and they are great for families with kids

2:29 am

rururocks

they are.. they are destructive when young.. but wonderful family dogs

2:29 am

puglet

are any of them ever used for the blind

2:30 am

rururocks

I've had 7 goldens in my life

2:30 am

rururocks

no.. but I have been involved with the organization in San Rafael

2:30 am

rururocks

I raised a lot of money for GDFTB

2:31 am

puglet

I know Ive read that they are very smart and easy to train

2:31 am

rururocks

they are one of the smartest breeds

2:31 am

puglet

thats nice Ruru

2:31 am

rururocks

up there with Poodles, G SHepards, AUssies and Border Collies

2:32 am

rururocks

those are the smartest breeds

2:33 am

puglet

do you train your dogs for anything

2:33 am

rururocks

BB in a bit.. Dylan needs to go outside

2:33 am

puglet

ok

2:37 am

puglet

My favorites are the pits,boxers and ABD's--though I have own other breeds, I always seem drawn to these breeds

2:38 am

puglet

Rose are you asleep at the keyboard

2:46 am

rururocks

I like boxers...and pugs..not too fond of pits

2:47 am

puglet

the pits are not for everyone, they need a stronge owner thats firm in their training

2:47 am

rururocks

What is a AND

2:47 am

rururocks

Abd...

2:47 am

puglet

american bull dogs

2:48 am

rururocks

Oh

2:49 am

rururocks

.pits are the only breed I am afraid of

2:50 am

puglet

Ru, they can be very loving and loyal but in the wrong hands they can be brutal

2:52 am

puglet

they get a very bad rap and the pounds are full of them for noone wants to adopt one or some towns outlaw them

2:52 am

rururocks

I think the main problem is that a lot of bad people own the breed ruining it for responsible owners

2:53 am

puglet

thats the nut in the shell

2:55 am

rururocks

See it all the time here where I live...some very aggressive dogs

2:55 am

puglet

and too many breeder are not breeding for the right traits

2:56 am

rururocks

Yes. For macho traits

2:57 am

puglet

do you have alot of dog fighting going on there> I hate that sport

2:57 am

rururocks

Yes and it is rampant and horrible

2:57 am

puglet

I cant stand that M.Vicks on the eagle just for that reason

2:58 am

rururocks

Me too I will never forgive him

2:59 am

puglet

I havent heard of it here but Ive seen on ty that its bad in your area

2:59 am

rururocks

He is a terrible person

2:59 am

rururocks

He should still be in jail

3:00 am

puglet

what they do to those dogs is awful and sickening--and I dont know about there but any dogs used for fighting is put down

3:01 am

puglet

I feel the same way about him, any one with a heart to do that is not a good person in my book

3:01 am

rururocks

I could tell you some stories..but it is too upsetting. These people are sick

3:02 am

puglet

I dont understand why people has to be so cruel---and its all for money

3:04 am

puglet

I seen the whole story about Vicks dogs and that was a nightmare in its self

3:05 am

rururocks

Yes I read it too

3:05 am

rururocks

He is a very sick person

3:06 am

puglet

are you involved with the human soc. is that how you know such horrid stories

3:07 am

rururocks

Indirectly...it is terrible stuff

3:08 am

puglet

yes it is and its hard to stop it

3:08 am

rururocks

I can't imagine people being that cruel.

3:10 am

puglet

if a person can do that to a animal I wouldnt trust them with children either

3:10 am

rururocks

Very true

3:11 am

rururocks

Someday people will do time for animal cruelty abd be punished

3:13 am

rururocks

I am falling asleep. .good night

3:13 am

puglet

as they should---I cant believe the stupitity of some owners----On the animal planet its hard to watch some of the stuff on there

3:14 am

rururocks

Yep

3:14 am

puglet

Have you ever watched the Dog Whisper? He is so good with dogs

3:15 am

rururocks

Yes all the time. He is excellent

3:16 am

puglet

Have you ever met him? I think hes in your neck of the woods isnt he

3:17 am

rururocks

No he is far south of me

3:17 am

puglet

He does have a very special gift, thats for sure

3:18 am

rururocks

It would be cool to meet him someday

3:18 am

puglet

3:18 am

rururocks

I have learned a lot from his shows

3:18 am

puglet

Hi Dianne!

4:35 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Spritey & Dianne :-)

4:36 am

Dianne

Hi zooz

4:36 am

sprite

hi zooz! :)

4:36 am

sprite

long time no see... did you work it out with your dad, zooz?

4:37 am

zoozzoom

Yes it was all fine..just me worrying too much as usual lol...thanks for asking :-)

4:37 am

sprite

am glad :)

4:38 am

zoozzoom

How is life going with you?

4:38 am

sprite

I am doing well. Rather clear in the head at the moment and feeling strong and motivated.

4:39 am

sprite

and you yourself, zooz? And you, Dianne?

4:39 am

zoozzoom

That is good to hear :-)

4:39 am

zoozzoom

Life is plodding at the moment...but as it stands i will settle for that.

4:40 am

sprite

you are a brave man, zooz. *hugs*

4:40 am

zoozzoom

Well with your clear head, Sprite, that should help you with the Ks lol

4:40 am

Dianne

o.k. here. Nothing exciting happening and that's not a bad thing.

4:41 am

sprite

so true, Dianne. Am glad. 'May you live in interesting times' is a potent Chinese curse :)

4:41 am

zoozzoom

Some times that is a good thing, Dianne :-)

4:41 am

sprite

roflol, zooz, never. Those Ks are always brutal.

4:41 am

Dianne

That is so true.

4:43 am

zoozzoom

Sorry for my ignorance, Dianne, What time is it where you are?

4:45 am

zoozzoom

No matter..just googled it..it is 6:45pm

4:46 am

zoozzoom

Spritey how is it going with your son now?

4:46 am

Dianne

sorry zooz - I was answering the door.

4:47 am

sprite

still going amazingly well, zooz. No big scenes at all. Helpful. Positive.

4:47 am

zoozzoom

That is no problem at all, Dianne :-)

4:47 am

zoozzoom

Oh that is excellent news, Sprite, excellent news indeed.

4:48 am

sprite

and kind to his sister too.

4:48 am

zoozzoom

How are you coping with your diabetes..Are you getting used to your changed diet?

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Am pleased about that as the situation at the time could not of been easy on your daughetr.

4:49 am

zoozzoom

Daughter*

4:49 am

o-o

May you live in interesting times
http://tinyurl.com/3w3avjg

4:50 am

sprite

slowly but surely, zooz. Battling the eating disorder still. But doing much better with it. We are upping the medication on more step, to help keeping the BSLs more even.

4:50 am

sprite

no, it was very hard on her. Am so happy things are looking up.

4:50 am

sprite

hi o-o :) Great to see you. *hugs*

4:51 am

zoozzoom

Hello, o-o, what on earth is that on your icon...it looks hideous..lol

4:53 am

zoozzoom

I hope you can get a good balance on your meds & diet Sprite..it is a long term thing so i suppose it is always an on going situation.

4:53 am

sprite

lol, had to look up fissiped and then read the thing about the not-chinese curse. Still, it sounds good, to say it is a potent Chinese curse, doesn't it.

4:54 am

sprite

if I can manage to eat 6 times a day, zooz, things are going pretty well. But some days I just... I don't know, work against myself, probably. And I skip meals and overeat at others, and things go haywire of course.

4:56 am

zoozzoom

You are only human, Sprite, I am sure you are trying your best.

4:56 am

sprite

that, I can vouch for :) Thanks zooz, for caring.

4:56 am

zoozzoom

Is that a real tiger type rabbit/hare icon or a photoshopped one.

4:57 am

sprite

photoshopped, as fake as can be :)

4:57 am

zoozzoom

lol looks cool!

4:58 am

sprite

I like it too. I am bunny hear me roar :)

4:59 am

zoozzoom

hahaha yes maybe it would sound like a tiger on helium lol

5:00 am

zoozzoom

Yahooo just found the 8!

5:02 am

sprite

finally.... Ks killed. On to babble :)

5:02 am

sprite

yk

5:02 am

sprite

finally, Ks killed... now on to Babble!

5:02 am

sprite

well done, zooz!

5:06 am

Dianne

my last word - a basketball shot!

5:06 am

sprite

dunk? :)

5:06 am

zoozzoom

Congrats Dianne!

5:07 am

sprite

wtg Dianne!!!!!!!!!!

5:07 am

Dianne

thanks

5:07 am

o-o

Did not realize a basketball could fit in a shot glass ...

5:08 am

sprite

might be a shot of something that you drink at a basketball game

5:10 am

sprite

the only one I can think of is slam dunk, lol. Doesn't seem to be in this grid.

5:10 am

o-o

Ho 4

5:11 am

sprite

thank you, o-o

5:16 am

o-o

I curse the curse, but apprehend with foreboding

5:16 am

sprite

*giggles* Nice one!

5:16 am

sprite

and reminiscence with nostalgia?

5:17 am

o-o

good times are treasures

5:18 am

sprite

5:23 am

puglet

((((SPRITE)))) hugs and Hi and same to you OO

5:23 am

sprite

hi pug! *hugs* Great to see you. Thought I had missed you by being late myself.

5:24 am

puglet

I just popped back in to see if you were on yet

5:25 am

sprite

aw how sweet of you. Well here I am :)

5:25 am

puglet

my connection is coming and going due to snow and rain-----so if you lose me you know why

5:25 am

sprite

must be pretty frustrating

5:25 am

puglet

It was sooooooo quiet on here earlier :(

5:29 am

sprite

poor pug :(

5:29 am

sprite

I slept in... am sorry I did so cause I had another end of the world nightmare. Seems I am good at those.

5:29 am

puglet

maybe its from what you are reading

5:30 am

puglet

do you feel more rested than yesterday

5:31 am

puglet

and no need to be sorry--I suppose I talk too much anyway. I think I may scare people off due to that

5:31 am

sprite

yes, much better, thanks. Feeling pretty good here. And as I said before, you don't talk too much and I love chatting with you.

5:33 am

zoozzoom

I enjoy watching the chat..well as long as it is not people getting at each others throats that is...not into that...I enjoy your chatting, Puglet :-)

5:33 am

puglet

hey Ive been meaning to tell you, you know the person you and Rose dont see eye to eye on-----well I went to this word game and there it was--isnt that weird

5:34 am

puglet

awww thanks Zoom, thats so nice of you to say

5:34 am

sprite

exactly, zooz :)

5:35 am

sprite

I think I know who you mean, pug. Someone who plays a lot of games indeed.

5:36 am

zoozzoom

How is Joso these days and did his move go ok4?

5:36 am

puglet

I just thought it surprising seeing them there when I think it was just last week we were talking about that stuff

5:37 am

sprite

his move went well, and he is in the process of unpacking. He likes his new place and enjoys making it just so.

5:37 am

puglet

He hasent been on today that Ive seen

5:37 am

zoozzoom

Glad it went well..moving can be stressfull.

5:37 am

puglet

how is the cat problem with you Zoom? Is it all over now

5:38 am

sprite

indeed, pug. Funny thing, how we can happen upon something or someone we just talked about.

5:38 am

sprite

our joso was pretty tired after moving, of course, but all in all I think he weathered it like a hero, zooz.

zoozzoom

No i feel it will always be an ongoing situation, Puglet, but when they see me they run for it. Otherwise they will get squirted with water.

5:40 am

puglet

always something in life to keep peace from us isnt there=lol

5:41 am

zoozzoom

I am sure once he gets the place how he wants it and gets used to where all the shops etc are he will feel at home again.

5:41 am

puglet

He said he moved about 7 blocks from the old place

5:41 am

zoozzoom

You are not wrong, Puglet, life is a constant battle..lol

5:42 am

zoozzoom

Oh not that far then..lol

5:42 am

zoozzoom

Yay Ks are done.

5:43 am

puglet

do you get snow there where you live Zoom

5:43 am

sprite

yay zooz!

5:44 am

zoozzoom

Sometimes...maybe a few times a year here further north gets more than we do here.

5:44 am

puglet

are you about done Sprite

5:44 am

sprite

kind of true, pug... we need to find peace in our hearts and soul, or we won't find it anywhere.

5:44 am

sprite

nah... still 57 words to go, pug

5:45 am

zoozzoom

I only need 9 more words to find...how about you, Puglet, Are you finished?

5:45 am

puglet

Rose was on earlier and I dont know if she fell asleep or what but left me and Ru just hanging no sign off or good bye--but they were saying it was a nasty grid

5:46 am

sprite

you know rose... one squirrel and off she goes :)

5:46 am

puglet

No Zoom, far from it but I reached my goal and more(halfway) Iam just enjoying the people now

5:47 am

zoozzoom

Bless her..probably fell asleep.Rose would not intentionally leave without saying goodnight.

5:47 am

puglet

I need 62 more

5:47 am

zoozzoom

hahahaha, Sprite, You are naughty..teehee.

5:48 am

sprite

always, zooz :) Actually, on the family constellations day, I got the advice from the psychiatrist to let out my playful side more :D

5:48 am

zoozzoom

reliant

5:48 am

sprite

thanks for that one

5:49 am

zoozzoom

Oh poo..i am very sorry everyone.

5:49 am

zoozzoom

Will there ever be a day i do not do that.

5:49 am

puglet

Hey Sprite I went to chinese Hor. and Iam the dog--was very interesting

5:50 am

puglet

ty Zoom, didnt have that and dont be sorry I love those kind of clues--lol

5:51 am

zoozzoom

I agree, Sprite, It is good to let the playful side out more often than not i would say.

5:52 am

sprite

how lovely, pug. Always nice to read up on that kind of stuff :)

5:52 am

puglet

do you Zoom?

5:53 am

zoozzoom

I have trouble finding my playful side...although i am silly almost childish when i do find it...and i love it.

5:53 am

puglet

it describes me to a t almost

5:53 am

sprite

zooz, I am pretty sure some people won't like it, but he is right... it is an amazing power source. And I have held in in for long enough.

5:53 am

sprite

we should meet, and then be playful and silly and totally childish together.

5:53 am

sprite

all three of us, I mean

5:54 am

sprite

I was so sure wanker was a word

5:54 am

zoozzoom

I don% feel i have held mine in, Sprite, I just have not felt normal for a long time now..Normal as in happy and contented..I do have my moments though lol

5:55 am

sprite

I know, zooz, it is a long long battle. But look at how far you have come, quite a long way up from the bottom already. You are a true hero.

5:55 am

zoozzoom

Sprite, Haz did say the last time the words were in the grid..that men wank so they must be wankers..lol....but i think it is a slang word.

5:56 am

puglet

I dont know if this will get through but Ive got trouble with internet---so bye guys and hugs and enjoy your day

5:56 am

sprite

well, at least I feel vindicated. If Haz says it is a word, it is. Stupid enable. :D

5:57 am

sprite

bye pug, yes it went through, sorry to see you go. *hugs* my dear one, and a lovely day to you.

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Oh i agree, Sprite, I am getting there...i just miss my happy silly playful self and desperatley want it back..but i have been hurt a lot and it takes time..but i will get there. And you too have come a long way, Spritey :-)

5:57 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Puglet. Have a great day.

5:58 am

puglet

you know you dont let your playful side out enough when you are alone and dancing and your dogs look at you like you are a creature from mars--lol

5:58 am

sprite

you will get it back with room to spare, zooz. And yes, it really takes time. No way to hurry it up, alas.

5:58 am

sprite

lol pug... Terra never looks at me that way. I think he knows he can expect anything and everything from me, when the mood strikes.

6:02 am

Kallia

wanker is definately a word, I have met many of them!!!

6:02 am

sprite

Kallia, I couldn't agree more, lol. Hi :)

6:03 am

zoozzoom

hahhaha there are plenty out there, Kalia lol

6:03 am

Kallia

hello all :)

6:03 am

Kallia

6:04 am

Kallia

6:04 am

Kallia

trying hard to appear normal lol

6:05 am

Buggie

I guess the people who make the dictionary have never played a video game, nerf isn't accepted either...

6:05 am

Kallia

whatever that may be

6:05 am

sprite

*giggles* We just discussed the merits of being naughty and playful and silly, Kallia. At least, here you can stop trying ;)

6:06 am

sprite

hi Buggie, too true! But this version of enable doesn't even acknowledge the word 'internet' so I guess gaming online is out too.

6:06 am

Kallia

yes I saw that Sprite.....I think we all need to let go more often

6:06 am

zoozzoom

Hello,, Buggie :-)

6:07 am

Kallia

hello Buggie

6:07 am

Buggie

oh lol... I was also suprised by other common offline words like a strimmer...

6:07 am

Buggie

and hi hi all :)

6:08 am

zoozzoom

Really..Enable does not accept strimmer as a word..ha amazing.

6:08 am

Kallia

language changes so much over a short time these days, hard to keep the dictionaries up to date, tho enable is so antiquated it makes me smile lol

6:09 am

sprite

fireflies! I am off, got to do some domestic stuff it seems. *hugs* to you all... may you have a blessed day and a peaceful evening.

6:09 am

Kallia

I have new neighbours and they are knocking out the fireplace and stairs today, bangg bang bang

6:09 am

Buggie

well done!

6:09 am

zoozzoom

It makes me laugh when they come up with urban talk..it is like a different language altogether.

6:10 am

zoozzoom

Congrats, Sprite!

6:10 am

zoozzoom

Have a nice pleasent day.

6:10 am

Kallia

6:10 am

zoozzoom

I onlt need two more words.

6:10 am

Buggie

I've been trying to talk myself into making a french version of babble as a practice project... if I do I'll really have to try and find an up-to-date dictionary

6:10 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Kalia, Nice to see you :-)

Uneaixoise

wow, soodle you have survived such an ordeal -- hugs to you!

6:14 am

Soodle

Water under the bridge now, Une, but I'm perplexed!

6:16 am

crosshair

soodles, this is a wonderful person who is out there doing this for you, however, if you are no longer in financial peril, then I think your unknown benefactor would not mind you paying it forward. perhaps find a charity that is near and dear to your heart, or find another family that is really struggling this year and make them up a Christmas hamper

6:16 am

rubyfoo

weird day, so far

6:16 am

Uneaixoise

great suggestion, crossy

6:17 am

It's our 16th wedding anniversary but we've known each other more than 30 years

That's exactly what I've done, Crossy. I gave the money to a homeless shelter.

6:17 am

rubyfoo

6:18 am

rubyfoo

zoozzoom

Careful, Ruby, Blood and keyboards do not mix.

6:21 am

zoozzoom

Yes it does make you wonder.

6:21 am

crosshair

what is that saying "never let the left hand know what the right is doing" you could put a small advert in your local paper,soodles. your benefactor may see it and be proud that his or her gift is still helping those in need

6:22 am

She might not be so happy with us if we can catch her and get her to a vet for spaying.

She will let Hubs pet her for a stroke or two then she is off.

She was once someone's pet and they abandoned her.

BzznBea

Her first summer litter is the one you can't get your hands on.

8:05 am

Aloyisius

we have one and haven't used it for a while, sue.. we also got the refillable cups; one type works a lot better than the other for some reason, though they look similar

Remember, ENABLE does not have that many words. There are going to be redundancies.

The ENABLE word list includes over 172,000 words in the English language and describes itself as the most thoroughly researched, and therefore the most authoritative word list and reference available for Scrabble players1. It has become a de facto standard, particularly for online word games, and is released into the public domain by its compiler, Alan Beale. Since it is used by many puzzle authors and solvers alike, ENABLE makes the aggressive claim that it is not merely a superior alternative2 to the Official Scrabble Players Dictionary, but that it threatens to supplant and replace it, to squeeze the very life out of it in a process of Darwinian selection3.

and now it is time for crossy's quote of the day!!

10:00 am

crosshair

"You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch.’"

~ Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell

3:18 pm

no thanks - couldn't think of anything worse - though ask me on Thursday when it it 38 here

3:19 pm

crosshair

nice and cool here.hehe.get rid of that sweat

3:19 pm

crosshair

had to use the hair dryer to get one open then wipe off the water before it froze in the window tracks again

3:22 pm

hego

wondering why Crossy is opening the window.

3:23 pm

lynxxx

just testing that the hair dryer was working OK I guess - could be no other reason

3:24 pm

hego

lol hi Lyn

3:24 pm

3:25 pm

I do

3:25 pm

crosshair

we would perish from cat hair and dander lol

3:25 pm

lynxxx

You don't have wall vents?

3:26 pm

crosshair

baseboard electric heaters and a bathroom vent fan

3:26 pm

hego

oh! yes. return vents.

3:26 pm

hego

no open windows, though.

3:26 pm

crosshair

so,since it is not central heating, it is good to recirculate the air a bit,even in winter

3:27 pm

hego

Ican see that.

3:27 pm

crosshair

not long though,just a few minutes as minus 14c does cool the place off rather quickly

3:27 pm

lynxxx

Maybe its a thing where you don't have snow? we have 2 wall vents (to the outside) in every room up near the ceiling

3:28 pm

hego

brrrr...

3:28 pm

crosshair

we have nothing like that , lynxx

3:28 pm

but you do not get a real winter.homes are constructed differently there

3:29 pm

72 Temple Owl

7:21 pm

Dorens

you're all most welcome

7:21 pm

Bugsaw

no worries about the bottle. I am doing fine with just filling up a lttle one and carrying it around in my underwear. Sorry about the picture in your head on that one

7:22 pm

stidmama

oooh. love the snuggly bit, not too keen on driving in bad weather myself

7:22 pm

stidmama

rofl... bugs, I needed that giggle!

7:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

Book Doctor Gwen

7:23 pm

stidmama

hello o-o

7:23 pm

Bugsaw

The pain is much better now that I discovered the bones have begun to knit so the foot doesn't flop around as much. I am hearing that I will be walking on a tilt for many months.

7:23 pm

Dorens

hi owl. i need my head examined - went into the city for lunch with daughter and sister in law… driving home was NOT fun

7:23 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

oops, o-o has the clue, mine is backward (sort of)

7:24 pm

stidmama

wow. do you want to borrow my pink cane? I know you're not ready for it yet... but when you are, remember I have spares!

7:24 pm

penquis

ty, got it!

7:25 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

we had bad roads here, too, about 25 mph in the 40 zone (michigan)

7:25 pm

stidmama

*grin* go penquis go!!!

7:25 pm

72 Temple Owl

how much snow?

7:25 pm

Bugsaw

lol, my sister has already given me a cane. I think she is very anxious for me to get back on my feet!

7:25 pm

stidmama

I am really glad that our super-cold snap a couple weeks ago happened slowly enough that the roads mostly dried out so they weren't very slippery.

7:26 pm

stidmama

yeah bug-sis!

7:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

we only had about 3-4 inches, but it was still snowing when i was driving thought it, which was about 7 hours ago, expecting to have more

7:26 pm

Dorens

don't really know… several inches at least, and when i got off the highway this afternoon the local roads hadn't been plowed yet, and i live up a big steep hill

7:26 pm

Bugsaw

I still can't even put it down until Jan 8.

7:27 pm

Dorens

what did you do to your foot bugs?

7:27 pm

stidmama

well -- don't push yourself! *stern mama look*

7:27 pm

stidmama

make everyone else wait on you hand and foot (especially FOOT) for a while!

7:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes, they are not plowing here either. lovely holiday open house and dared not imbibe. all that wine wasted

7:29 pm

Bugsaw

I broke my ankle Dorens and dislocated my foot so all the tendons and ligaments were damaged as well. I have plates and pins but just need to let it heal slowly. I try to be patient but there are so many things I can't reach on my own. I just want to get back on my feet sooner rather than later.

7:30 pm

Dorens

oh terrible---just hoe it heals well and soon

7:30 pm

Dorens

hoPe

7:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

ouch, sorry to hear, bugsaw! hope it heals extra fast

7:31 pm

Bugsaw

I tutor a 14 year old boy twice a week so his parents have been good about bringing him to me since I can't get into his house. He has asked them to give us an extra half hour so he has time to make me a cup of tea before he goes. What a sweetie!

7:31 pm

stidmama

oh, that just is a happy thing! So glad you are still able to get your regular "kid time"

7:31 pm

Dorens

that is great--you must be special

7:31 pm

72 Temple Owl

horrilble

7:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

i mean the injury

7:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

must be a Canadian student! (or British) 8-D

7:33 pm

stidmama

bugs, the boy I tutored (mumble mumble) ago is now a young man! He was working as stage crew for the play Grant was in at the college, and when I saw him... it was so funny! He didn't recognize me at first, although he DID remember me... and he had completely missed Grant... LOL last time he saw Grant he was barely waist-high.

7:33 pm

stidmama

Speaking of how tall, seems my Grant who stopped growing in 9th grade is on the move again... I'll have to get his tux and suits altered soon!

7:34 pm

Bugsaw

Not too bad TO. I got to ride in an ambulance, use a wheelchair and crutches and people give me a break if I am cranky. I also get out of cooking Christmas dinner and shopping. I just sent cheques to everyone and told them to buy the grands stuff they wanted and use their share however they want.

7:34 pm

Dorens

how long ago bugs?

7:34 pm

JenMO16

i'm back

7:35 pm

stidmama

hey jen!

7:35 pm

JenMO16

hi stidmama!

7:35 pm

stidmama

btw, the thing you broke is in the grid, bugs...

7:36 pm

Dorens

so are we all

7:36 pm

72 Temple Owl

i had cortizsone shots in the hips this week.

7:36 pm

Bugsaw

snapped it Nov 18 and it was put back together 2 days later. Not eating, drinking or moving for 2 days in case I had surgery was the worst part.

7:36 pm

JenMO16

my niece and her team won their basketball game! 9-3

7:36 pm

Bugsaw

LOL stid - it was the first word I found!

7:37 pm

stidmama

owie, TO -- the shots hurt... hope they bring you relief!

7:37 pm

Bugsaw

I can't believe Grant is getting taller. He may have to stand in the skylights at your new house if he doesn't stop soon. ;)

7:37 pm

stidmama

i was thinking the same thing. Good thing the bedroom is 17 feet long! we may need to extend his bed.

7:39 pm

o-o

Is there any difference in meaning between “faith” and “blind faith”?

7:39 pm

stidmama

I am thinking (not really changing the subject -- much) that I would like soapstone counters in my kitchen. Birch on the island, but soapstone on the perimeter by the stove and sink. What do you think, bugs?

7:39 pm

Bugsaw

I have only begun to play babble again this week because I could not sit up long enough without too much swelling. I sure missed it

7:40 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

blind faith can be derogatory

7:40 pm

stidmama

I am glad your stamina has increased to that point, bug

7:40 pm

stidmama

bugS I mean. *sigh*

7:40 pm

Bugsaw

will soapstone cut tho when people are not good about using a cutting board? I love the sound of the colours.

7:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye!

7:41 pm

stidmama

we are used to cutting boards because we always had laminate before.

7:41 pm

stidmama

later TO

7:42 pm

Bugsaw

good question o-o. I think I relie on blind faith when I think it probably won't happen to but want it to and faith when I am sure it will happen if I believe enough, like Tinkerbell

7:42 pm

stidmama

I think that it's more forgiving than granite if I accidentally drop something ceramic on it.

7:42 pm

Bugsaw

bye TO thanks for the good wishes

7:42 pm

stidmama

good answer, bugs

7:42 pm

o-o

soapstone is a metamorphic rock ...

7:42 pm

Bugsaw

I thot of that too at first before I remembered just how soft it can be.

7:43 pm

Bugsaw

does that mean it will absorb smells and moisture o-o?

7:43 pm

stidmama

The thing is, also unlike granite, soapstone is inert and impervious to acid, base and oils...

7:44 pm

stidmama

It's okay with putting really hot things on it and really cold things, and although it is "soft" compared to some materials, it is still more durable than wood and more refinishable compared to laminates.

7:44 pm

Bugsaw

that sounds like a huge plus stid. How is it on the pricing scale.

7:46 pm

stidmama

I have to go to some of the suppliers. In some areas it's actually comparable to laminate, but around here it seems it will be close to the same cost as granite.

7:46 pm

stidmama

But... Tom's folks have offered to help pay for the countertops.

7:47 pm

Bugsaw

Well I am not a huge fan of granite because of the breakability factor but this sounds really good, especially because you can refinish it like proper hardwood floors

7:47 pm

stidmama

:-) you know, we'll have something like a 6-butt kitchen when we're all done? MAJOR cooking visits!

7:48 pm

o-o

http://www.soapstone-co.com/whatis101.\nhtml

7:48 pm

stidmama

yes, and with the concrete floors, I just in my heart really don't want a really hard (feeling or looking) countertop.

7:49 pm

stidmama

thanks o-o

7:49 pm

Bugsaw

can't get that to load for me o-o

Book Doctor Gwen

7:51 pm

Bugsaw

the concrete floors will be great if you have to use a chair but I hope it is not too hard on your feet

7:53 pm

Bugsaw

after reading that I wud go with soapstone for sure!

7:55 pm

stidmama

gotta go, bugs... Grant's GF just did what YOU did (only we are hoping it's not broken). *poof*

7:55 pm

Bugsaw

oh no, I hope nothing is broken!!
