jillibus
And here I'm worried that the forecast for my travel days is a bit snowy...how lovely to be ging to the beach for a swim
12:38 am
Lizlin
It's beautiful today, Jilli and what's best is that there's little if any humidity today.
12:38 am
Lizlin
Hope that the snow doesn't upset your plans, Jilli.
12:38 am
puglet
Very glad that all is going well for you and your guests Liz
12:39 am
puglet

12:39 am
jillibus
well, my "new" car is a Subaru Impreza with All Wheel Drive...
12:39 am
jillibus
no, pug -- taking ferries and driving.
12:40 am
puglet
Rose, I guess you dont have to worry about snowshoes--lol
12:41 am
rururocks
does it impreza you jilli?
12:42 am
jillibus
groan
sigh
12:44 am
Lizlin
Just had to try ferries! Knew it wouldn't work!
12:46 am
jillibus

12:46 am
Lizlin
Aha! thanks :)
12:47 am

flosey
it's quite a treat, Liz
12:50 am
Lizlin
Will all the family be over - will the Toronto family join you?
12:51 am
flosey

12:51 am
flosey
now we have our 2 daughters living in Van so we stay put
12:51 am
Lizlin
The airport was so busy yesterday morning, when we collected our family.
12:52 am
rururocks
living in a van?
12:52 am
Lizlin
If you don't have to travel peak season, then that
12:52 am
Lizlin
'that's the best!
12:52 am
Lizlin
No, cara!
12:52 am
flosey
Van ru, not van
12:52 am
Lizlin
Hope you don't mind me calling you cara!
12:53 am
flosey
who's Cara?
12:54 am
Lizlin
Misplaced humour, flosey!
12:54 am
jillibus
not even halfway but too sleepy to go on -- goodnight all...*poof
12:54 am
puglet

12:54 am

12:58 am
flosey
sorry, missed a K there
12:59 am
Lizlin
Easy to do!
12:59 am
torgone
Van & Cara can stay at a se5/10 ..
1:00 am
Lizlin

1:02 am
puglet
Rose, did you fall asleep at the keyboard
1:07 am
puglet
these red boxes are getting to be a 2:05 everyday thing
1:09 am
puglet
I have 2 di 8's and 1pr8 and a re8 --what is the 5th one? Please
1:10 am
rururocks
2 pr 8s
1:11 am
puglet
thanks Ru--what happen to everyone
1:14 am
flosey
wow total red boxes here!
1:15 am
puglet
I was wondering what happen to E1
1:16 am
puglet
its been happening to me everyday at 2:05 for whatever reason
1:17 am
flosey
hmmm, that's strange, it does happen frequently but never thought of the time
1:18 am
grannyrose
i'm here. had little red boxes also.
1:18 am
Lizlin
I'm also back - did some other stuff for a few mins.
1:19 am
puglet
everyone left at once it seemed
1:19 am
Lizlin
I left when I got a red box.
1:20 am
flosey
quite a pile of re words
1:20 am
rururocks
just a's left now
1:21 am
grannyrose
lol, you'll never guess what workcover are now expecting me to do?....that's right, return to work in the new year...january to be precise....firstly, how do i get to work? no public transport. i cannot drive a car as i am still on oral narcotics. ( i expect to be on them for at least another 2 months). secondly, how do i work, when still on crutches and.....taking oral narcotics. for goodness sake.
1:21 am
flosey
quite a few of those too, ru
1:21 am
flosey
wow rose, do they ever stop to think?
1:22 am
Lizlin
They don't think, Flosey!
1:22 am
flosey
so it would seem
1:22 am
Lizlin
Can your surgeon write you a sick-note to cover you until he thinks you're able to return to work?
1:22 am
grannyrose
and i will be very strict if they insist i return to work on sedentary duties. because i am definitely going to be sitting there, waiting for someone else to bring me my work...like that's going to happen.
1:23 am
puglet
can they make you return
1:24 am
grannyrose
liz, the tick chart, which i formulated, has to be signed off by a doctor. and there is nothing there that i can do...
1:24 am
flosey
even if they provided transport, you wouldn't be able to do a normal day's work
1:24 am
rururocks
finally.. done
1:24 am
Lizlin
Congrats, Ru.
1:24 am
flosey
well done ru
1:24 am
flosey
94 to go here
1:24 am
rururocks
a few doozies
1:24 am
Lizlin
What tick chart Rose? How does that work?
1:24 am
puglet
congrats Ru
1:25 am
grannyrose
apparently, until i was off because of my ankle all those years ago, no other recovery room nurse had ever been off on workcover.
1:25 am
Lizlin
98 here, so pretty similar, Flosey.
1:25 am
grannyrose
WTG RURU!!!
1:25 am
Lizlin
Still missing 2 x 8's and a lot of 7's!
1:25 am
puglet
Iam missing one pr 8
1:26 am
grannyrose
liz, it lists everything a recovery room nurse has to do, in the course of her shift, including getting down to plug in power cords for beds.
1:26 am
flosey
doesn't mean there can't be a first, rose
1:26 am
rururocks
which one do you have pugs
1:26 am
Lizlin
I also only have one pr 8 and missing an re 8 too.
1:26 am
grannyrose
pr8, before becoming a doctor
1:26 am
puglet
put together, kinda
1:26 am
rururocks
one is to get ready to shoot the other an intern
1:27 am
Lizlin
OK - so surely that means you wouldn't be able to complete most of those duties, so how could it possibly be reasonable to return to work?
1:27 am
Lizlin
Thanks rose and ru :)
1:27 am
grannyrose
re8, past tense to lift again
1:27 am
puglet
thanks guys got it
1:27 am
Lizlin
Funny. Thought I'd entered that and not accepted. Will enter again!
1:28 am
Lizlin

1:28 am
grannyrose

1:28 am
Lizlin
Now only missing 5 7's!
1:28 am
Lizlin
Good. The ruder the better.
1:28 am
rururocks

1:29 am
rururocks

1:29 am
rururocks

1:29 am
rururocks
they are being ridiculous
1:29 am
Lizlin
couldn't agree more.
1:30 am
rururocks
this isn't like you had a hangnail removed
1:30 am
rururocks
although if you do get rid of Fang....
1:31 am
Lizlin
We'd visit you in prison.
1:31 am
grannyrose
january 9th is about 6 weeks post-op. seeing surgeon then. ruru, the people i am dealing with are 20-somethings. they have no idea what is entailed with this sort of surgery. i have already told them i am not allowed to start full on physio until 6 weeks post-op.
1:31 am
rururocks
at least all the aussies would :D
1:31 am
grannyrose
liz, love mud cake....
1:31 am
Lizlin
Aw come on Ru. Don't tell me you wouldn't fly to Aus to visit Rose in prison.
1:32 am
Lizlin
Me too - having one for my bday this weekend.
1:32 am
rururocks
I don't do prisons :D
1:32 am
Lizlin
OK, for a holiday then and we'd tell Rose you'd come to visit her!
1:32 am
grannyrose
ooohhh, a birthday....is it a biggie? ie, one with a zero in it?
1:33 am
rururocks
I'd be afraid to bend over and pick up something if i dropped it:D
1:33 am
grannyrose
roflol, ruru
1:33 am
puglet
then dont drop anything
1:33 am
Lizlin
Yes Rose, that's why Melbourne family are here - also "not nephew" i.e. rolin's nephew, shares my b'day!
1:34 am
grannyrose
especially don't drop your daks....
1:34 am
rururocks
next year is my 0
1:34 am
flosey

1:34 am
Lizlin
Same 0 as Rose and me?
1:34 am
puglet
night flosey
1:35 am
rururocks

1:37 am
grannyrose

1:38 am
Lizlin
We're going a bit earlier than that.
1:38 am
Lizlin
Got a fantastic earlybird deal on Singapore Airlines, including a stopover in Singapore for a night for $1!
1:38 am
grannyrose
is september a good ti4 to go, liz?
1:39 am
Lizlin
Usually yes - weather should be pretty good then. And also the autumn colours will be starting.
1:39 am
rururocks
Afraid to see THAT hotel
1:39 am
puglet
wow Liz, thats a good deal
1:39 am
grannyrose
wow, liz, nice shopping
1:39 am
Lizlin
It looked good Ru but we upgraded to a 4* for $30 per night.
1:40 am
rururocks
$30?.. you couldn't get a room at Crackwhore hotel here in california for $30
1:40 am
Lizlin
In any event it had to be better than an 8 hour stopover!
1:40 am
grannyrose
jeez, still a good deal, liz
1:40 am
rururocks
that's for sure..liz. wow what a deal
1:41 am
Lizlin
The Furama Riverfront - can google it!
1:43 am
grannyrose
i need to go and put my feet up. they are twice their normal size, and i am having trouble walking. no, ruru, don will be watching his dvd in the lounge, and i will be alone with my book.
1:43 am
Lizlin
Feel better, Rose. Enjoy your evening.
1:44 am
puglet

good morning all
1:57 am
Lizlin
Hi sprite :)
1:57 am
sprite
ah darn, did I miss rose again??
1:57 am
puglet
Howdy Sprite!
1:57 am
sprite
hiya Liz :) And pug! *hugs*
1:57 am
puglet
Her feet are swollen and she went to put them up
1:58 am
sprite
*sad face* But good that she is taking good care of herself.
1:59 am
puglet
shes a bit upset too cause work is wanting her to return the first of the year
1:59 am
sprite
they are out of their silly heads!
2:00 am
Lizlin
They are being totally unreasonable!
2:00 am
puglet
or rather her workcover, I think is what she said
2:00 am
Lizlin
Rushing to complete as much as possible before going out for dinner with family, so not chatting much :(
2:00 am
sprite
yeah, probably workcover. All money, no hearts, not even some common sense
2:01 am
puglet
darn red boxes again :(
2:01 am
Lizlin
Yep, work cover is what she said but also that the insurance company will be in for a shock!
2:01 am
sprite
ok Liz, hope you will have a lot of fun with the family :)
2:01 am
Lizlin
Seeing doc again in Jan.
2:02 am
sprite
very good. She should sue them for all they are worth.
2:02 am
Lizlin
Thanks Sprite - back to normal Monday morning!
2:03 am
sprite
all good, hun, real life comes first :)
2:03 am
puglet
enjoy Liz and see you maybe in the morn
2:03 am
Lizlin
Might pop in again for some chill out time, who knows?
2:03 am
Lizlin
Hugs to you both.
2:04 am
Lizlin
No jigidi for the moment, though :(
2:04 am
puglet
How are you today Mrs Sprite
2:04 am
sprite
no... jigidi really takes time.
2:05 am
sprite
I am good, pug. Busy day ahead, therapy and final repetition and dinner and singing recital. Good thing: my daughter doesn't need transportation after all.
2:06 am
puglet
oh yeah you get to show your stuff tonight! :) Have lots of fun!
2:06 am
puglet
your feet and legs better today
2:07 am
sprite
could you play the file I sent you?
2:07 am
sprite
no, they seem to be permanently swollen. Ah well, maybe news tomorrow. And otherwise next week.
2:08 am
puglet
you have to stand tonight? Better take it easy on them today
2:09 am
sprite
no, I get a chair, lol. And because I wanted to sit, our little group is getting a special treatment: one on a bar stool, one on a chair, and two standing. Nice picture.
2:10 am
puglet
thats good for you,, just make sure your legs are together--lol
2:10 am
sprite
roflolllllll
2:11 am
sprite
nobody will look at me. The lady on the bar stool is slender, with a lovely face, perfect figure, a short dress and high heels.
2:11 am
puglet
I was killing ti4 this morning and I found a pugbunny--I will have to use that as my icon for easter
2:11 am
sprite
and to top it all, even though the audience doesn't know it, she is kind and funny as well.
2:12 am
sprite
ohhhh how wonderful! Sounds like a funny picture. We can be bunny buddies then.
2:12 am
puglet
Now Sprite, you know men, if they can get a free shot Iam sure they would take it--lol
2:13 am
sprite
*giggles* True. And some actually prefer big women. I will keep your sound advice in mind. Am wearing trousers anyway, lol.
2:13 am
puglet
then no problem at all
2:14 am
sprite
oh I found it! It is funny, pug! So cute with that grumpy face.
2:15 am
puglet
Iam a bit upset--I got you and R's a card but due to the weather theres noway for them to get to you guys in time :(===Iam so sorry, but I will try to find a way to make up for it
2:15 am
sprite
sweetie, don't worry about it. I didn't get around to sending Xmas cards at all yet...
2:16 am
puglet
this year I will just have to make them electronic
2:17 am
sprite
that is just as good, hun. *hugs*
2:18 am
puglet
did you find the pug in the bunnysuit or the pug re6 from a real bunny
2:18 am
sprite
both, but I was talking about the revamped real one.
2:19 am
puglet
theres bunches of great pug pictures online--I wont ever run out of new icons--lol
2:20 am
sprite
hehehe indeed. They are so cute.
2:21 am
puglet
I wish now that I hadent gotten my pug fixed, but I was afraid of losing her by letting her have babies
2:22 am
sprite
maybe for the best. Imagine all the worrying you would do, for her and for the puppies and for finding them homes and everything!
2:23 am
puglet
yeah I know! I know I done the right thing but one pug is not enough--lol
2:25 am
sprite
maybe keep an eye out at the local shelter?
2:27 am
puglet
I will have to go to the big city. Here at the local shelter they save dogs like that for friends. They pick who they want to have what
2:27 am
sprite
ah, I see. Ok, big city it is then.
2:31 am
puglet
Sprite, dont know if you got the f's yet but when you do someone clued think rust and I didnt get it, could you help me with that
2:31 am
sprite
so... how would you call a lady seahorse? Right. But not valid.
2:33 am
sprite
would that be for the fe6/30?
2:33 am
puglet
I dont know
2:34 am
sprite
let's try. Fe6: F + to make a mistake + first two letters of frozen water.
2:34 am
puglet
I got that onw
2:35 am
puglet
thanks got it
2:36 am
puglet
what does think rust have to do with any f word
2:36 am
sprite
I don't see any other words with that beginning, yet.
2:37 am
puglet
I only have 7 f's
2:38 am
puglet
just got 2 more
2:38 am
sprite
only 9 here so far.
2:39 am
puglet
thats what I have now too
2:39 am
sprite
lol am over halfway and still not a single biggie. My usual biggie blindness :)
2:40 am
puglet
I found all but 1 8 on my own--Ru and Rose had to give me clues on that onw
2:40 am
puglet
and I cant type this morn
2:41 am
sprite
wow pug, good job!!!
2:42 am
puglet
that f and the corner t is giving me fits

mmm, very nice. a perfect sized grid imho, is 200-250 words. big enough not to be one of those nasty small grids full of sharp teeth and babblets, but not so big that you go into a coma tacking on every single word ending known to man that the monster grids demand. :)

10:50 am
72 Temple Owl
wow why sell them? they are a hot commodity. so hot that someone in phila was killed for his.
10:50 am
hego
a little extreme
10:51 am
suefrad625
oh yuck. there seems to be a newer set out in orange and oh my he wants them.
10:51 am
72 Temple Owl
and folks call pope franics a marxist since he denounces the materialism of our culture
10:52 am
suefrad625
If they are willing to sell something to buy something else I will help them. But he sure didnt need two. I think one is a extravagant, but I bought them from a pawn shop.
10:52 am
72 Temple Owl
that would be a possible gift for my nephew but a bit over budget for something he has not asked for
10:53 am
hego
I think Francis is pretty cool for a pope.
10:53 am
72 Temple Owl
killing folkd for gold used to be the thing. now its headphones. honestly.
10:53 am
suefrad625
dont forget the killings in the 90's for nice sneakers
10:54 am
rururocks
he's the best pope in decades that is for sure. He's certainly more progressive... but they still have to catch up with the times
10:55 am
rururocks
I was reading an article that there is a large exodus from the Catholic Church in recent years.. over a variety of issues.
10:55 am
rururocks
Hi Hego
10:55 am
72 Temple Owl
tell nan ty and i will lurk for her respose. no wish to discuss the pope
10:56 am
rururocks
you have to lurk because of one comment about the Pope?
10:57 am
harpjane
to each his own ruru
10:58 am
hego
If you're a pope you're pretty much going to be discussed.
10:58 am
rururocks
I would think so "Man of the Year" and all :D
10:58 am
rururocks
Nonetheless he's the best Pope in a long time.. seems like a good man
10:59 am
hego
I agree Ruru.
10:59 am
hego
We need more good leaders in the wprld.
10:59 am
72 Temple Owl
ru: please cease putting a value judgement on what others say and do. I sa wow and youve got to be kdding lots in chat but i dont write them down.
11:00 am
72 Temple Owl
i reserve the right to be who i am without judgement
11:00 am
cybernan
sorry - lots of cookie recipes, but no jan hagels -- have you tried google?
11:01 am
harpjane
i'm with to on this one. I have lots of opinions but this is a game on the Internet, not a political or religious forum. don't say anything you wouldn't say during small talk in an elevator and we'll all be fine!
11:02 am
rururocks
That's fine TO.. I just thought that was a little bit of an over reaction that's all. Its fine with me if you don't want to discuss it
11:02 am
72 Temple Owl
thank you cvery much, nan, i appreciate your looking
11:02 am
72 Temple Owl
off to cookies
11:02 am
harpjane
speaking of cookies, I just got out my favorite cookie recipe and discovered, to my dismay, that i put a hole-punch over one of the numbers. So I don't know how much liquid to use....
11:03 am
harpjane
so I get to experiment with chocolate YAY!
11:03 am
rururocks
I don't agree Harp.. people are allowed to discuss public people.. they do it here all the time. The pope isn't any different from discussing Obama, Kim Kardashian, or anyone else
11:04 am
sciencegeek
seems a bit touchy here today!
11:04 am
harpjane
I do it to, when it's okay with all involved.
11:04 am
hego
google is the best for recipe finding.
11:04 am

hola!!

I don't see a censor button on the chat anywhere?

its a free country. but respect would dictate giving it a rest. you dont want free speech , yo uwant to be right. and get others to agree with you.and do as you please notwithstanding how others feel
11:06 am

how about duck dynasty?
11:06 am
harpjane
i still don't have nbt, it's making me crabby

no. I was just agreeing with Hego. that's all I was doing
11:07 am
72 Temple Owl
i need to get going on some cooking. thank you, again, nan
11:07 am
suefrad625
I am subbing an ESL class at the high school and the county has not even looked for a replacement teacher for the one that left 2 weeks ago. They did not supply lessons or anything. the class is way in the back of the school and only has a heater to heat the room. I, as a sub, went through a background check and am still not allowed to log onto the computer system. All they have been doing in the weeks before me was watching movies. Now I come in and start reading "The Road Not Taken" with them, and they think I am of the devil. I have been subbing these kids since they where in elementary school and I know how smart they are, and now I see them giving up because no one cares. It makes me sick.
11:07 am
hego
true, I guess I diid start the whole thing.
11:08 am
sciencegeek
sue, it's difficult!
11:08 am
hego
that's sad Sue
11:10 am
harpjane
I would think that if they started esl in elementary school they would know the language pretty well by now. usually with kids, all you have to do it expose them to the language and they get it?
11:10 am
suefrad625
I saw a great movie, well only about a half hour, Freedom Writers. I will show them that if I have to do it using my phone as a hot spot

I have seen Ru express a lot of opinions here. I have never once seen him express that he wants others to agree with him. As a matter of fact, he often uses the phrase "you have a right to your opinion".
11:15 am
hego
that's true Molly.
11:17 am
rururocks
A lot of people don't agree with me...that's what makes this place interesting some times.
11:18 am

i agree with everyone lol, what a wimp i must be!
11:18 am
rururocks
for me that is
11:18 am

I also know that the cocktail party I went to yesterday was a lot more interesting because I kept my opinions to myself....
11:19 am
hego
while drinking! I'm impressed.
11:19 am
rururocks
I have never been one to keep opinions back ..
11:20 am
hego
Actually if no one disagreed, it would make for really boring dicussions.
11:20 am
harpjane
I keep my political opinions to myself a lot at work, and at church, being blue in a red state....
11:21 am
hego
well yes religion and politics, etc.
11:22 am
harpjane
at some point you have to decide if you want freedom of speech or a civil relationship with someone....
11:22 am
rururocks
if you have a valid point to express harp why would you
11:22 am
hego
Using a mouse on a lumpy bedspread is a real challenge.
11:22 am
rururocks
LOL Hego
11:23 am

11:23 am

for example if i am playing at a wedding, they don't want to know my opinion on the president, or the pope. I'm basically the hired help.
11:23 am
hego
Wait was that an opinion?
11:23 am
harpjane
ok, everyone who agrees with hego, raise your right foot!
11:24 am
hego
lol left actually.
11:24 am

i have to finish this grid or i will be driving over the pass in the dark.....
11:24 am

11:25 am

rururocks
If you are playing at a wedding.. yes Harp.. that's appropriate.. if you are playing here.. you should feel free to discuss what is on your mind.
11:26 am
rururocks
it wouldn't be good to go on an OBama rant during the cake cutting :D
11:27 am
harpjane
if it doesn't bother someone else who is playing, sure.
11:28 am
harpjane
the re's are killing me
11:28 am
sciencegeek
well, it makes for lively conversation
11:28 am
hego
they are my Waterloo
11:29 am
hego
good point. Look how the chat has buzzed for the last half hour or so.
11:30 am
cybernan
nbt, nbs, but stuck with 90 to go :(
11:33 am
rururocks
my thought is this.. and then I'll shut up. this is an open chat. People discuss whatever they want, within reason and not with abusive language.
11:34 am
rururocks
I have never seen rules from Dr. God on what is allowed or not.. so I assume it's open game to discuss issues of the day or whatever people are talking about without having to be told to shut up
11:34 am
rururocks
have a great day everyone
11:35 am

11:45 am
harpjane
all i have left now are re's, dang
11:45 am
hego
I always end up with those at the end. :P
11:46 am
harpjane
well in some ways it makes sense to do them last
11:47 am
harpjane
but my adhd likes variety
11:47 am
hego
if you did the pr's you got some already.
11:48 am
hego
and my ocd likes them in order. :)
11:49 am
harpjane
lol hego you made the coffee come out my nose!
11:50 am
harpjane
now i'm to the re's which are repeats of the re words, how tedious
11:50 am

I just read over the chog to see how in the world ruru could have offended anyone as I don't see how he could, especially talking about thi wonderful pope! As for elevator conversation, my best was (you know how small I am): I was in the back of a crowded elevator in a fancy hotel in NY, dressed in my business clothes , all other passengers were men and I quietly said "Nice odds!"

3:14 pm
bichon
hi flosey and tabby
3:14 pm
flosey
love your icon bichon
3:15 pm
tabbycat
Hi Bichon and Flosey
3:17 pm
flosey
your cat reminds me of one we had when I was a child, we called her Penny because she had a pink spot top of her head, between her ears
3:18 pm
tabbycat
Did she have blue eyes too? Our two cats are rescues too...formerly feral. A mother and daughter who look nothing alike
3:18 pm
bichon
How do cats go from being feral to house pets?
3:19 pm
BzznBea
With a lot of patience.
3:19 pm
flosey
I think so - but that is soooo many years ago - I would have been around 8 or 9
3:19 pm
BzznBea
Most feral cats do not make good house pets.
3:19 pm
tabbycat
Time and patience...it took about a year and a half, and another litter of kittens, to convince this one to live indoors.
3:20 pm
flosey
she followed us on New Years Day, we use to skate on the creek almost down to Lake Ontario and we never saw her again
3:20 pm
tabbycat
We caught her surviving kitten from the first litter when she was about 4 months old and she was easier to convince.
3:21 pm
flosey
we had her as a tiny kitten
3:21 pm
tabbycat
But you can still tell they were feral. Both are skittish and terrified of strangers. Mama cat will probably never be a cuddler, but the younger one is.
3:21 pm
flosey
it was heart breaking to think of her possibly freezing - but hopefully someone along the way took her in
3:22 pm
tabbycat
Both are calm and loving around us but hide if anyone else comes over.
3:22 pm
flosey
ah, she was a sweetie
3:23 pm
flosey
we got her from a friend's cat who had a litter
3:23 pm
BzznBea
Pr7/40? Either one please?
3:23 pm
bichon
my current Bichons were strays. I don't know how long they were out there. To this day, one of them at least, has emotional scars
3:23 pm
tabbycat
Good that you got her young and she was able to be socialized. If they miss that, you can always tell.
3:23 pm
bichon
don't have it Bea
3:24 pm
flosey
pr7 - to suggest what is apt to happen
3:24 pm
BzznBea
Thank you.
3:24 pm
flosey
you might pr7 a snowstorm
3:24 pm
tabbycat
I hear you, Bichon. Our young one is the most afraid of strangers and has a lump on one rib that makes me think she was hit or kicked before we rescued her.
3:24 pm
BzznBea
The other pr7 means already completed
3:25 pm
tabbycat
Thanks for the pr7 flo
3:25 pm
bichon
Mine are afraid of dogs they see on the street. We are currently fostering two Bichons and one of mine, attacked the male
3:25 pm
BzznBea
We have a juvenile cat and three kittens living in our house. All were from feral mothers.
3:26 pm
bichon
the first pr 6, pls
3:26 pm
BzznBea
It's that appendage again, bichon
3:27 pm
tabbycat
We got the second litter into the house when they were about 5 weeks old and kept them until 8 weeks to socialize them. Then they went to a no kill shelter and were adopted. We went back and checked.
3:28 pm
BzznBea
That's what we did, tabby. Except we do not have any no kill shelters around here.
3:29 pm
BzznBea
There were five kittens. Two were adopted by my sil. Can not find anyone to take any of the others.
3:29 pm
tabbycat
That's too bad, Bea. I wouldn't have taken them unless it was.
3:29 pm
tabbycat
We had 5 kittens too, plus the mother and the older sister from the first litter.
3:30 pm
tabbycat
None of them looked like the others or their mother. Miss Kitty is a slut LOL
3:30 pm
crosshair
howdy, flosey:)))
3:30 pm
BzznBea
Four in the house. Seven outside. Then we get the tom and another momma and her two kittens coming ot feed often.
3:31 pm
tabbycat
I'd have to try to catch those and get them fixed.
3:31 pm
BzznBea
Our cat food bill is crazy.
3:32 pm
tabbycat
We got our two spayed at the SPCA which is much cheaper than the vet
3:32 pm
BzznBea
We are going to do TNR with them. But we can't get into the free clinis until Feb or March.
3:33 pm
crosshair
we do live trapping here to catch and fix the feral cat population many are fostered till they get used to humans and are sent to a forever home in many cases.break the breeding cycle
3:33 pm
tabbycat
Might have another litter or pregnancy by then
3:34 pm
BzznBea
That is what we will do, Crossy. Trap/Neuter/Return.
3:34 pm
tabbycat
Good idea, Crossy. My two are formerly feral
3:34 pm
jaxx7
my sister has had a young feral cat coming to eat every night. The other cats were frightened of her. last week she went missing and my sister was distraught. She searched under every tree and in any shelter all around where she lives. No joy. yesterday, the cat turned up, a lot thinner, and my sister believes she may have had kittens so now the search is on for the hiding place. nevertheless, jill is delighted that the cat is back.
3:34 pm
BzznBea
The ones outside will not be rehabilitated.
3:34 pm
tabbycat
They do keep the rodent population down it you do that.
3:35 pm
crosshair
catch them and fix them if there is no likelihood of rehabilitation
3:35 pm
BzznBea
Oh, yes. They often bring me mice, moles and squirels in return for their kibble.
3:36 pm
crosshair
drives me crazy when people round here just let them breed non-stop though we are winning the battle
3:36 pm
BzznBea
That is what is sad, Crossy. This momma was once someones pet and they just abandoned her.
3:37 pm
crosshair
sad indeed.all our rescue animals are now microchipped to prevent dumping
3:38 pm
tabbycat
We think our momma cat, the one in my icon, was once a pet and was dropped off here when she was pregnant with her first litter. She had them under our house and it was shortly after that when we saw her for the first time.
3:41 pm
tabbycat
There were only 2 kittens in that litter, the dark one we have now and another that was mostly white with gray tabby markings. We think the hawk got that one.
3:46 pm
tabbycat
Well, time for me to get out in the kitchen and rattle some pots and pans.
3:46 pm

that is what I am doing:)

4:26 pm
zoozzoom
Got the xbox360..i like the feel of it..although i do noot use it much yet for babble as there is not a keypad for the new controllers....love the new kinect & voice control.
4:26 pm
Soodle
For sure, Zooz! In Sept, I usually start stockpiling the usual domestic, non perishible stuff, shower gel, shampoo, detergent, loo rolls etc, leaving me with a few shillings spare for the Christmas 'goodies'. For the Christmas presents, I'm in a club in the local pub. About 80 of us throw €20 a week in, €15 of it is put into a savings account, & a fiver is gambled. This year, we turned a profit of 29%. Sweet!
4:27 pm
zoozzoom
Nice going, Soodle, sounds like you are going to have a great christmas!
4:29 pm
zoozzoom
I did have the playstation then the playstation2 then the playstation3, Crossy, but Sony decided not to go backward compatible...thats when i switched over to the xbox side.
4:30 pm
zoozzoom
Yet saying that the xbox one is not backward compatible either..although some xbox360 games will be downloadable via the cloud system.
4:30 pm

Glad it is not like that for me any more..it is a much more laid back affair these days....I just go to my parents and have dinner...my sister comes round with her children.We open presents and just relax and play wiith the kids toys..lol.....well i do anyway :-)
4:33 pm
crosshair
yes,it is much more relaxed now that all the kids are older
4:33 pm
zoozzoom
Yes, Microsoft back tracked on that and have now allowed it on the xbox one.
4:34 pm
Soodle
I remember the first PS1 arriving in our house. I decided that as I couldn't beat them, I might as well join them. I had a try of it & to this day, I remember them all roaring & shouting at me... Press X Press X. It was Crash Bandicoot, if I remember correctly. It was my first & last foray into puter games.
4:34 pm
crosshair
mm.the ability to play when the internet goes down is a must as far as I am concerned
4:35 pm

Yes the xbox allows that, Crosy.
