WTG FLOSEY!!!!

1:30 am

puglet

Well Rose you could go over to Liz's and get into the ocean

1:33 am

grannyrose

pugs it would be 2 days of driving to get there, hun. not that it wouldn't be worth it though.

1:35 am

jillibus

pug, some danes go grey that early and some don't until 5 or so and rarely some don't at all. Nobody has figured out the genetics of that yet.

1:36 am

jillibus

What colur is Baeulah?

1:36 am

jillibus

*colur (or color if you prefer)?

1:36 am

puglet

thanks Jilli--just thought it awful young but I know their lifespan is not as long as smaller dogs

1:37 am

jillibus

*I meant colour, sigh.

1:37 am

puglet

shes mostly all black

1:37 am

jillibus

pug, on fb we just celebrated a Dane's 12th birthday and she looks great. OUrs were living to11.

1:39 am

jillibus

Mostly black? With white? How much and where? I think there must have been a fawn or bridnle in her background, to provide the hidden black mask which is greying.

1:40 am

jillibus

*brindle

1:40 am

grannyrose

good heavens pugs, talk about to long and short of it!! you have a great dane and a pug. wow!

1:40 am

puglet

that makes me feel better---the hair on her snout is not grey but snow white---she does have a little white on her chest and a tiny bit on all four feet and a few patches of brindle(which if you didnt know it was there you would never see)

1:40 am

puglet

yes Rose and a boxer too

1:41 am

jillibus

Really? brindle on black? Most unusual. Are you sure they're brindle and not merle?

1:42 am

jillibus

What colur are her parents?

1:42 am

puglet

what is the different? My pits and boxers were brindle and thats what the patches look like to me

1:43 am

jillibus

Whay can't I write "colour"?

1:43 am

grannyrose

can't be auto correct, jilli.

1:43 am

jillibus

Oh jeez, I can't even write "why".

1:43 am

Lizlin

Hi all :)

1:43 am

puglet

I only seen the pictures of the mother and she was black with some white

1:44 am

jillibus

Merle is greyish with blackish marks.

1:44 am

grannyrose

poor jilli. hey ya liz. was just talking about you, lol

1:45 am

puglet

She was on the way to the pound and thats how I got her----I was told her mother was very mean--but Beulah is very kind

1:45 am

Lizlin

Should my ears be burning?

1:45 am

jillibus

pug, it sounds as if Beulah comes from the harlequin family with other colours mixed in. Did you get her from a reputable breeder?

1:46 am

grannyrose

nah....was telling pugs it probably would take me 2 days to drive to your place.

1:46 am

puglet

no Jilli these are blackish with a light tan stripings---she only has a few patches and only if the light hits it just right can you see the brindle

1:46 am

Lizlin

Probably get cheaper flights!

1:47 am

jillibus

Oh -- I see -- she is a rescue. Good fpr you, and glad you saved her, the love. I assume she has been spayed?

1:48 am

puglet

Jilli, my girlfriends granddaughter got her from her SIL and after getting her, they found out they couldnt have her at their housing so they were going to take her to the dog pound and my friend called and begged me to take her cause I had just lost my two boxers to old age

1:49 am

puglet

she was only about 8 or 9 weeks old when I got her

1:50 am

puglet

yes all my dogs are fixed

1:50 am

jillibus

give Beulah a hug from me.

1:50 am

puglet

Okay, I will---she loves hugs--lol

1:50 am

Lizlin

Omg,Rose! My phone tells me it's 41 C in Melbourne! Bet the a/c is powering away!

1:51 am

jillibus

And snuggle the puggles -- I have a friend with about five of them so I know about them.

1:51 am

grannyrose

your'e not wrong liz. and not a breath of wind either.

1:52 am

Lizlin

Poor thing!

1:52 am

puglet

I only have the one Jilli--my first small dog ever and I love her---she thinks shes as big as Beulah--lol

1:52 am

jillibus

Phew, rose! And here we're having an arctic outflow, below freezing -- mild compared to the rest of North America.

1:53 am

Lizlin

-5 in vancouver according to my phone.

1:53 am

jillibus

And bump paws with the Boxer too, if you can catch him/her

1:53 am

Lizlin

Still have Vancouver set from my holiday last July!

1:54 am

puglet

they all play well together--lol

1:54 am

jillibus

wish you'd hopped over to Salt Spring, Liz!

1:55 am

puglet

Rose, how can you stand that heat?!

1:55 am

Lizlin

Because it was a tour group, really didn't have time. I'd've loved to meet you.

1:55 am

grannyrose

by sitting right under the air-con. pugs.

1:56 am

jillibus

Ah yes, tour groups...

1:56 am

puglet

if you and don plan to move, hope you pick a cooler place

1:57 am

grannyrose

tasmania is usually a good deal cooler than the mainland.

1:58 am

puglet

where all the devils live? lol

1:58 am

Lizlin

It was an efficient way to get the most out of the trip and we were surprised that we enjoyed it much more than we expected! The group I mean. Never doubted thr Rockies or inside passage.

1:58 am

jillibus

I almost said how about Tasmania, lol.

1:58 am

grannyrose

yeah, don and i will add to the devil population...lol

1:58 am

Lizlin

Comfortable 27 here today.

1:59 am

puglet

1:59 am

jillibus

It was a good group, Liz?

1:59 am

grannyrose

pfft liz...;-P

1:59 am

Lizlin

:)

2:00 am

Lizlin

Very good group and we never felt rushed, which was our main fear.

2:00 am

puglet

its 60 degrees here in my bedroom

2:00 am

jillibus

brrr, pug!

2:00 am

grannyrose

tasmania? we would have to drive 50 minutes to the port, then hop on the ferry for 12 hours. or we could fly over after 60-90 drive to the airport.

2:01 am

jillibus

Pug -- they're talking Celsius, not Fahrenheit.

2:01 am

o-o

Wind Speed Calm ... a rare phenomenon

2:01 am

puglet

quite a way then from you--will this put you closer to Liz

2:01 am

Lizlin

No, further, Pugs.

2:01 am

jillibus

Hello o-o

2:02 am

puglet

2:02 am

Lizlin

2:03 am

jillibus

2:03 am

jillibus

tasmania is even souther

2:03 am

puglet

2:04 am

grannyrose

pugs, 41C = nearly 106F. 27C = nearly 81F

2:04 am

Lizlin

I'm actually in the middle of the East coast - just above the widest part of Australia. Though Queensland stretches right up to the north, I'm right at the southern end of it.

2:04 am

jillibus

2:05 am

puglet

It was lovely walking on the beach today, Jilli. This is a pretty average temperature for our summer.

2:05 am

puglet

Okay will look all that up

2:05 am

Lizlin

Perhaps it'll creep up to 40 F, pugs. Here's hoping!

2:06 am

grannyrose

2:06 am

puglet

oh that would be heavenly :)

2:06 am

jillibus

Well, Liz, not quite north Aus, but a lot norther than Rose, lol!

2:07 am

Lizlin

Really hope not, Rose. Stay safe - and all your family too.

2:07 am

puglet

hope none are close to you Rose

2:07 am

Lizlin

Yes, Jilli and you were right in saying that Queensland is north.

2:07 am

jillibus

And my family too -- I have a cousin in Melbourne.

2:07 am

puglet

Jilli are you near Crossy and Joso

2:08 am

Lizlin

Did you ever make it over to Australia, Jilli?

2:08 am

grannyrose

thanx liz and pugs. we live on the edge of a national park. and just over the hill to our east are pastures and scrub.

2:09 am

grannyrose

we have a couple of close shaves...but we are prepared. and at least we don't have to worry about mother mac.

2:09 am

puglet

well they could run a huge long vaccuum and suck this snow over to you all

2:09 am

Lizlin

Sounds like a lovely area to live. Are you close to the Dandenongs?

2:09 am

Lizlin

Hopefully at the first sign of any danger, you'd just get out.

2:10 am

jillibus

No, pugs, I'm on the same island as flosey -- we're just off the west coast of Canada. Crossy is well east of here and joso is in Toronto or thereabouts, if you know where that is.

2:10 am

grannyrose

in the foothills of the dandenongs, liz. my home before don and i were married is actually in the dandenongs.

2:10 am

Lizlin

I visited the Dandenongs, when we first moved to Aus. Only briefly though! Lovely area.

2:11 am

grannyrose

i have lived in the dandenongs since 1979.

2:11 am

puglet

I know where toronto is Jilli

2:11 am

2:14 am

grannyrose

o-o, would never dream of ignoring you, mate. you give my day such a lift.

2:15 am

jillibus

Pug, most peope in the US have only the vaguest idea about Canadian geography. When we were breding Great Danes in the Montreal area I had a call from someone in Houston, TX, asking me to help a puppy customer of hers with ear taping. This customer was in Vancouver. I laughed and told her she should do it -- she was closer.

2:15 am

Lizlin

We drove down Ferntree Valley Road - I think!

2:16 am

Lizlin

Or up it!

2:16 am

grannyrose

o-o, where is your quote from?

2:16 am

puglet

they dont crop their ears like boxers, Jilli?

2:17 am

Lizlin

Saw you quoting one of my fav Door's tracks yesterday, o-o - People are Strange!

2:19 am

puglet

I wish I had gotten Beulah's tail bobbed---that thing is like a whip---its funny, the kids love Beulah but shes has gotten them all with that tail, so now they cover their face as shes around them

2:19 am

jillibus

Yes, pug, Danes in North America get their ears cropped, and they need taping afterwards. In the UK taping was banned ages ago, and recently in Europe too. Now some in North America are stopping it too. Is Beulagh cropped (I'm guessing not).

2:19 am

o-o

Robert Browning: Master Hugues Of Saxe-Gotha

2:19 am

jillibus

I mean in the UK CROPPING was banned (tired, typos taking over).

2:20 am

grannyrose

oh, thanx, o-o

2:20 am

puglet

no shes not Jilli----alot of the vets here are not wanting to crop the boxers ears now either

2:20 am

jillibus

Danes do not get their tails docked.

2:21 am

puglet

I know, but that thing is a weapon LOL

2:22 am

puglet

hers looks like a big question mark over her back--lol

2:22 am

jillibus

But it's happy!

2:22 am

Lizlin

That's how we used to describe our dog's tail!

2:23 am

o-o

The tale of the tail

2:23 am

puglet

I think too happy

2:23 am

jillibus

funny Beulah -- Dane tails are not supposed to be like that.

2:24 am

puglet

it really hurts when she whacks ya with it

2:25 am

jillibus

I guess so -- they're supposed to be hanging low so when they wag they might swish on your legs a bit.

2:26 am

puglet

she does hang it low but when shes real excited or showing off she carries it over her rump

2:27 am

o-o

Truth or Consequences

2:27 am

jillibus

well, I guess you'll just have to play dodg'em, lol!

2:28 am

puglet

lol, yes thats about how it is! But everyone that meets her loves her and knows about the tail

2:28 am

o-o

On the show, contestants received roughly two seconds to answer a trivia question correctly (usually an off-the-wall question that no one would be able to answer correctly, or a bad joke) before "Beulah the Buzzer" sounded (in the rare occasion that the contestant answered the question correctly before Beulah was heard, the question inevitably had two or even three parts). If the contestant could not complete the "Truth" portion, there would be "Consequences," usually a zany and embarrassing stunt. From the start, most contestants preferred to answer the question wrong in order to perform the stunt. Said Edwards, "Most of the American people are darned good sports.

2:28 am

puglet

are we going to play that OO--lol

2:29 am

grannyrose

my julia's tail was like that. she was a dingo-staffy cross. the most affectionate and intelligent dog i have ever se4.when she was happy to see you, or excited, everyone knew to stand back. lol

2:29 am

Beulah's tail worked the buzzer?

2:30 am

puglet

3:25 am

puglet

oh, by the way--I got on amazon and got the movie on sale for six dollars! so its on its way

3:26 am

sprite

ok :) I wonder, pug... aren't you sensitive to certain weather changes? Like storm, thunderstorms and snow? Huge difference in air pressure. I am always down and incredibly tired when one of those comes up.

3:26 am

sprite

wooot! Oh you will love the movie.

3:26 am

puglet

no, not that Ive noticed

3:27 am

puglet

I was fine at the start of that one day and it just hit me like a wall, that darkness with in

3:28 am

puglet

so do you have a storm brewing there

3:28 am

sprite

ok, just a passing thought, lol. Yeah am really okay, just a bit off. Yesterday night a very bad dream of my father. And yesterday I couldn't get myself to make myself some food and my family was too busy. So messed up my eating pattern and my bloodsugars.

3:29 am

puglet

oh that is really bad Sprite for your sugar

3:29 am

sprite

that does sound like a weather front reaching you though. Might be something to keep in the back of your mind, next time it should happen?

3:29 am

puglet

I will, thank you

3:30 am

sprite

yeah I know :( Bad sprite.

3:31 am

puglet

It seems like since his last binge, that I just cant pull it together as always before and I hate myself for being so darn weak

3:31 am

puglet

you are going to have to put food back for just such times as those

3:32 am

sprite

you are not at all weak, pug. You have set in some changes since then and change takes a lot of energy. Maybe that is part of it.

3:32 am

puglet

you could fall into a como you know and thats not good at all

3:33 am

puglet

well I guess it could but Iam not happy having them-lol

3:33 am

sprite

you are so right. Sigh. Just couldn't get myself out of my safe little hole. Will do better today.

3:33 am

puglet

what about today? Have you ate yet

3:34 am

sprite

lol no, of course not... sucks to feel like that, dear pug. So wish we lived closer.

3:34 am

sprite

errrr no not yet. Took my medicines though, so that is a plus. And I do have some rice waffles here too... so I can eat some of those now.

3:35 am

puglet

Maybe you might feel better if you go NOW to get a few bits of something

3:35 am

puglet

just wait until Rose catches wind of you not eating for 2 days!

3:36 am

sprite

am eating two ricewaffles now. Will get myself a decent lunch later.

3:37 am

puglet

please do! Now I got to worry about you floating off to who knows where-lol

3:37 am

sprite

lolol I know I know! But I did ask my family several times yesterday, and they just were too busy... and I did eat dinner.

3:37 am

sprite

floating, me! Nah. Way too heavy for that, don't worry!

3:38 am

puglet

it wouldnt be your body floating that come to mind-lol

3:39 am

sprite

I really think I am not at risk, pug, don't worry. My sugar tends to be too high, not too low.

3:40 am

puglet

you sound like OO, dont worry, dont worry--lol

3:41 am

sprite

lol :) Well, I mean it, don't worry. Am eating something now and will do yoghurt and apple and specialK flakes in a little while. All good.

3:42 am

o-o

Worry does not put food in someone's mouth.

3:42 am

puglet

okay as long as you do so--:)

3:42 am

sprite

and worry may make us lose our appetite even. Hi o-o :)

3:43 am

puglet

are you worried Sprite

3:44 am

sprite

no darling, I am not worried. Just couldn't manage it myself yesterday. Today is much better and I will manage things better.

3:45 am

puglet

well, friends worry about friends is how I feel about it

3:46 am

puglet

do you have a place that can deliver you food on days like that

3:46 am

sprite

*hugs* You are a wonderful person, pug

3:47 am

o-o

If I have a problem ... there is one problem. If you worry about my problem, there are two problems. You are the source of a problem implosion ... well, maybe not?

3:47 am

sprite

no, not really. I just have to learn to make myself something to eat anyway.

3:47 am

puglet

hugs back, but skipping meals is not good at all for you

3:48 am

and also one of my favorites: "Worrying is like sitting in a rocking chair. It gives you something to do. But it brings you nowhere."

3:49 am

puglet

I cant help it---if I care for someone I worry about there well being---I dont ask to worry it just happens

3:49 am

howdy gapeach ((ruby))

6:25 am

gapeach

Hi Ruby!

6:26 am

rubyfoo

we had so much rain yesterday that baby dg Raffie came in with black mud up to her shoulders and dripping wet. What a mess! All i've done today is wash "dog towels"

6:27 am

MollyL

Peach, I don't see a player named uconn, what am I missing?

6:27 am

A*n*i*t*a

Hi ev1

6:27 am

crosshair

you need a outside hose down area, where you can get the worst off before they come in

6:27 am

gapeach

They just left, Molly.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

it is too cold for that, I'm afraid

6:28 am

MollyL

Ah, thanks Peach. I thought someone had snuck decaf into my coffeemaker.

6:28 am

rubyfoo

hi a*n*I*t*a and moly

6:29 am

rubyfoo

or even Molly*

6:29 am

MollyL

Ruby, I don't know how you do it. I would go insane if I had that much mud being tracked into the house.

6:29 am

rubyfoo

I am already insane

6:30 am

rubyfoo

after dinner I had to wash the floor! But I love the dogs, so I've made a choice

6:31 am

crosshair

yup. outside hose down area for sure!

6:32 am

MollyL

I think the outside hose down area is a great idea. And hey, I love my kids, but they weren't allowed to track mud in the house. : D

6:32 am

rubyfoo

you should have seen me trying to wash puppy's feet in bowls She is very strong!

6:32 am

crosshair

nor was I, my mum would of killed me

6:33 am

rubyfoo

I could also start hosing down husband who also doesn't wipe his feet....lol

6:33 am

crosshair

my boy was bad for that. breeze in in his winter boots and track mark across the carpet

6:33 am

rubyfoo

I've set up a special shower in the driveway for the dogs but it is too cold for that now

6:33 am

crosshair

yes! see you can do both at once, ruby

6:34 am

rubyfoo

I think it would be easier with husband than with that headstrong puppy

6:34 am

crosshair

get a car wash wand adaptor for the hose and you can add soap cartridges to it and get them clean at tsame time

6:34 am

gapeach

Well, my peeps, I think I need to get away from the computer for a while. bbl Have a wonderful day/night. Blessings.

6:34 am

crosshair

tc peach

6:35 am

rubyfoo

bye peach

6:37 am

rubyfoo

I shouldn't complain; we've been very ucky wit ur weather compared to almost every place else

6:38 am

crosshair

well,if I washed a dog outside today, he would freeze solid

6:40 am

Anniebrook

good morning, babblers

6:42 am

rubyfoo

6:42 am

Anniebrook

(((ruby))) you good dog washer you

6:43 am

Anniebrook

A dog carwash, novel idea

6:43 am

rubyfoo

I guess you have to make a choice: perfect, clean house and perfect garden or sweet and cuddly dogs

6:44 am

rubyfoo

I'd choose dogs. If the house isn't perfect, tant pis!

6:44 am

Anniebrook

All three would be perfect

6:44 am

Anniebrook

I get the idea but what does tant pis mean in english

6:45 am

crosshair

if you use bio soap on the dog wash wand you could reclaim the water for your garden:))

6:45 am

rubyfoo

"too bad" or Auntie wet her pants

6:45 am

Anniebrook

thanks, LOL

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I don't think the garden needs water!

6:45 am

MollyL

Ruby, your dilemma seems to be that you have more "dogs" (in size) than you have the house for. If you had a mud room or someplace to clean them off, you could have both.

6:46 am

crosshair

yes! nice mud room with floor drain and hot and cold running water!

6:47 am

rubyfoo

if I was stronger or if husband could hel, we could manhandle the puppy upstairs to a bath or shower. But there's no place on the middle level to wash her (except the kitchen) and there is no way I coud shlep a 50 lbs dog up the stairs.

6:47 am

8:16 am

hurshy

hi sc

8:17 am

hurshy

kind of pleasant to come in and have the first word i see be ta5/26, i think!

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Hurshy, how are you?

8:17 am

hurshy

it's saturday morning, so, i'm pretty good!

8:17 am

Scrabbler

Great.

8:18 am

Scrabbler

Saltwater ta5.

8:18 am

hurshy

yep, that's the one

8:18 am

hurshy

such a yummy first word

8:21 am

Scrabbler

Do you have ve8/65 yet?

8:21 am

hurshy

nope just started a few mins ago

8:21 am

hurshy

i go top to bottom

8:22 am

hurshy

how can you be disheveled if there's no such word as shevel

8:23 am

Scrabbler

Many prefixed words are like that. Makes me nuts.

8:24 am

hurshy

oh dear

8:25 am

hurshy

i almost just tried fest. stopped myself at the s.

8:26 am

Scrabbler

ve8 = intense, forceful

8:26 am

Scrabbler

BRB, must get breakfast.

8:28 am

chj

the prefix is dis so the root word would be hevel not shevel

8:29 am

hurshy

hevel isn't a word either. and not necessarily, because, if there were two s's together, they might drop one for the combo word.

8:29 am

Vicuna

Post about some of those words like "shevel" (or "Hevel") for anyone interested in the linguistics behind it:

8:30 am

Scrabbler

Hello chj, Vicuna, and Aloy

8:30 am

Vicuna

Oh, it's doing that \n thing so the link doesn't work. I hate tiny.urls but hang on a sec...

8:31 am

Aloyisius

what is for breakfast, Scrabbs?

8:31 am

godthaab

The link works

8:31 am

Vicuna

Okay, try this: http://tinyurl.com/lnoy3co

8:31 am

Scrabbler

Peach Greek yogurt with walnust on top.

8:32 am

Scrabbler

Hi godthaab

8:32 am

welki

morning everyone (i like the article, vicuna - will share it :)

8:32 am

hurshy

that would sound good if i liked yogurt

8:32 am

Scrabbler

And our fisherwoman is here

8:32 am

Aloyisius

Greek yogurt has a bit of a different texture, hurshy.. you may like it

8:32 am

Scrabbler

I could eat yogurt all day.

8:33 am

hurshy

i don't object to the texture, i object to the kick

8:33 am

godthaab

Hi Scrabbler

8:33 am

hurshy

that little yogurt bitey flavor

8:33 am

crosshair

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

8:33 am

crosshair

during the first american space walk, Gemeni 4 astronaut Edward White, lost a glove. For a month, the glove stayed in orbit with a speed of 28,000 Kph, thus becoming the most dangerous garment in history!!

8:34 am

Scrabbler

The acidity. But I add fruit, nuts, and Truvia if I eat plain yogurt.

8:34 am

Scrabbler

Interesting, Crossy.

8:34 am

crosshair

someone must of posted a link instead of using tinyurl :((

8:34 am

hurshy

yep it was vi

8:35 am

crosshair

lol

8:35 am

hurshy

must HAVE

8:35 am

hurshy

that is one of my biggest pet peeves

8:35 am

Scrabbler

Agreed.

8:36 am

crosshair

it only started whn dr_g went to the new server

8:36 am

Vicuna

Mea culpa. I posted a long link. It'll scroll off eventually.

8:36 am

crosshair

it only started when dr_g went to the new server

8:36 am

crosshair

yup it will run off the page soon

8:36 am

hurshy

must have = must've ... sounds like must of but IS NOT

8:37 am

crosshair

do not care. I do English 5 days a week. do not care if I am sloppy when I am off the clock

8:37 am

welki

the way this site displays changed for me a couple of weeks ago - the 'my friends' tab is down lower than the other two tabs

8:37 am

crosshair

you can mark me later hurshy:)

8:37 am

hurshy

but it's not fair not to care when it bothers people

8:38 am

Vicuna

Weird, welki. Mine's still the same.

8:38 am

crosshair

well, if little grammar errors drive you that far round the bend then I must beg forgiveness

8:38 am

crosshair

i will watch out in the future so as to not drive you totally bonkers

8:38 am

Vicuna

(Laughed at your icon cartoon, welki!)

8:39 am

welki

:)

8:39 am

hurshy

oh thank you crossy dear, i know it is a pain

8:39 am

Vicuna

We grammarians have a tough life, for sure.

8:39 am

hurshy

i just kind of have this desire for things to be right.

8:39 am

crosshair

lol.i am being graded on a saturday

8:40 am

crosshair

grammar nazis

8:40 am

crosshair

:)

8:40 am

Vicuna

No. Nazis are people who kill millions of people. Grammarians are people who get annoyed by "must of." If you can't tell the difference, grammar is the least of your problems.

8:41 am

crosshair

ok..on that note i best leave for a bit.. things are getting..odd tc all

8:41 am

crosshair

remember people..just a game.. poink

8:41 am

Vicuna

Poor crossy! Ran over too many pet peeves at once. Sorry, crossy!

8:41 am

hurshy

it's like recently the bachelor apparently said something about how he didn't think a gay version of the show would work because they "tend to be more pervert". this guy's english is not perfect, it's not his first language. but everyone got all mad at him. and i was like, well, clearly he meant, overt. and i wanted to tell people just so they would know, but of course i have no way to enter the national conversation.

8:43 am

hurshy

now, it may still be a stupid claim, that gay bachelors would be any more overt with their sexuality than he's being on the show. but it's not the same claim.

8:43 am

welki

wish i could just delete the last few minutes of chat

8:45 am

Vicuna

Sigh. I never chat any more. Apparently a wise habit. But in any case, nice to see you all briefly! Enjoy the grid!

8:45 am

hurshy

well, i love you, vi. bye!

8:46 am

rururocks

Not gramnarians..we are working patriots...

9:11 am

hego

Happy to hear of Ata's puppy. :)

9:11 am

hurshy

i think someone did mention you had a new puppy - yes, and haz was saying you weren't devoted because you hadn't put up lots of pics, you just had lots of sea life pics

9:12 am

Haz1558

I had even looked up flickr to see pics and all I could see were sea slugs and things unmentionable.

9:12 am

bfsog

Yes I am, I married a Canadian and I consider it home! My sister is getting married in the UK so I am going for an extended holiday for 2 months to see friends and family.

Oh! How gorgeous!!

9:15 am

Haz1558

He does look like Dempsey! White spot on head and white tail.

9:15 am

Atalante

Hobbit is no more, alas. My beautiful girl. Silverclaw is Not Amused. But she's getting there, slowly

9:16 am

Haz1558

The bity thing is a pain, like little needles on your skin. But he'll improve.

9:16 am

Atalante

His kennel club name is Flash Gordon and he has a white flash on his head, and yes, a very white little tail.

9:16 am

hurshy

oh dear poor hobbit

9:16 am

Haz1558

Flash Gordon - I love it!

9:16 am

9:17 am

Atalante

I know :( but it was very quick and very painless, so I couldn't have asked for more for her

9:17 am

hego

No, I didn't meet him Welki.

9:17 am

Haz1558

Hello welki- it's a gathering of the very oldies.

Dempsey is doing very well. We're going to be doing his silver 'Good canine citizen' award in a couple of weeks.

9:18 am

9:18 am

Haz1558

His hardest thing is sitting still for 2 minutes but with the aid of the kitchen timer we're getting there.

9:19 am

hurshy

lol

9:19 am

Atalante

gosh! how clever of him :) getting any spaniel to sit still for 2 minutes is a feat!

9:19 am

hego

best of luck to Dempsey!

9:19 am

Haz1558

But his recall is a thing of wonder, basically because he's a velcro dog who doesn't want to leave sight of me for too long.

9:19 am

Haz1558

The classes have been very good for him, he's much more confident than when he first arrived.

9:20 am

hego

How old is he now?

9:20 am

Haz1558

And Loki - sleeping well, eating well, chewing valuable shoes?

9:21 am

Haz1558

Dempsey will be 2 in June - he was 9 months when we got him.

9:21 am

welki

did you send ata a shaming email, haz?

9:21 am

rururocks

Dylan will be my last puppy. .that is for sure

9:21 am

Atalante

chewign valuable books (horror!), sleeping and eating very well, he's just had his second jabs and the vet was very pleased with him. He loves the beach and loves bouncing and pouncing on rocks

9:21 am

hego

He's a grown doggy then.

9:21 am

Haz1558

welki, I didn't but the force of my disapproval at the lack of photos must have transmitted itself to her.

9:22 am

hego

You can't say that for sure Ru.

9:22 am

welki

baxter was our first and last puppy, ru - i've always had 'previously owned' dogs. puppies are so much work

9:22 am

hego

You're still relatively young.

9:22 am

welki

it's that telepathic thing going on, haz :)

9:22 am

hego

Oh, sorry, you mean the puppy thing.

9:22 am

rururocks

.I will adopt and foster older dogs now after Dylan

9:23 am

Atalante

just for you, Haz, I'm trying to get onto flickr to put pics up!

9:23 am

hego

I hope it will be a long time hence.

9:23 am

rururocks

Me too

9:23 am

welki

me three

9:24 am

Haz1558

Much appreciated, Ata. I'm not one to talk, I'm hopeless at getting photos uploaded (or even taken).

9:24 am

hego

See une if you need a dog.

9:25 am

hego

She will get one to you, no problem.

9:25 am

hego

She is a doggy hero.

9:25 am

rururocks

I would make her drive it out to me ..lol

9:26 am

hego

She might do it.

9:26 am

rururocks

Une..is a doggy...Saint

9:26 am

Atalante

she is!

9:26 am

hego

true

9:27 am

hurshy

*plays heavenly music*

9:27 am

welki

i hear angels singing

9:28 am

welki

ha! must be singing to hurshy's heavenly tunes!

9:28 am

hego

or barking....

9:28 am

Haz1558

So, Ata, apart from the puppy, are you kept busy? I never got to hear about your NI trip last year. Were you impressed with the weather I ordered?

9:28 am

rururocks

*brings in tabernacle choir*

9:28 am

Atalante

oh! it was very wavey and cold, but lovely diving and I literally got to do nothing else. We were diving all day and in the lab half the night. But we did eat a mint aero cheesecake!

9:30 am

Atalante

We went to the Giants Causeway at sunset and watched lots of Japanese tourists get very excited, and walked over the very unscary rope bridge near ther

9:30 am

Haz1558

That's good - life's never so bad when you can have mint aero cheesecake.

9:30 am

hego

<--staring at the 2nd column e's.

9:30 am

Haz1558

Carrick-a-rede. I crossed it when I was young and foolish but I know better now.

9:30 am

hurshy

i understand mint but what makes it aero?

9:31 am

Atalante

the whole of Portrush seems to function on mint aero cheesecake, mint aero muffins and chilli and sour cream chips

9:31 am

Haz1558

It's a type of chocolate bar, hurshy. The original aero is just full of chocolate bubbles but there are variations with mint and orange.

9:32 am

hego

sounds wonderful.

9:32 am

Haz1558

You must have had potatoes, though, Ata. In some form or another, you can't leave NI without having potatoes.

9:32 am

Atalante

and they are sooooo yummy

9:32 am

Atalante

we had chilli sour cream chips, and chilli sour cream potatoes

9:32 am

hurshy

i don't like chili or sour cream

9:33 am

Atalante

photos slowly uploding in flickr ...

9:33 am

Haz1558

That's okay, then. We love our spuds.

9:33 am

hego

Great to see everyone...bbl

9:33 am

Atalante

I'm very intrigued as to how NI has adopted mint aeros

9:34 am

Haz1558

I don't know - I've no idea who thought up the idea but I remember seeing it in a bakery and thinking I could make it.

9:34 am

Haz1558

Bye, hego.

9:34 am

Haz1558

I venture to suggest that Bailey's cheesecake is even better.

9:35 am

Atalante

it's fabulous. the best was a mint aero muffin the size of a football with a mint aero sticking out of the middle of it

9:35 am

Haz1558

Ah yes, portion control has not reached the bakeries of Portrush and surrounding districts.

9:35 am

hurshy

i was tempted by a cheesecake in the grocery store the other day, until i looked at the nutrition facts

9:36 am

Atalante

mmmm cheesecake

9:37 am

Haz1558

You wouldn't eat it every day but good cheesecake is wonderful.

9:38 am

hurshy

see though it's SO fattening that it would mean you should eat no other treats for a while

9:38 am

hurshy

which, i would intend on doing and then totally not do

9:39 am

Haz1558

You have to weigh up whether the guilt outweighs the pleasure.

9:40 am

hurshy

or whether you outweigh a rhinoceros

9:40 am

Haz1558

They're kind of chunky - you leave yourself room for maneouvre.

9:40 am

hurshy

Hello, Atalante.

10:02 am

LeslieAnn

oh i had not made that connection. makes sense now.

10:02 am

Haz1558

What do you have Loki filed under, Ata? You've only got 7,000 photos, you really need to use your camera more (checking if sarcastic font is still operational)

10:03 am

Atalante

should be the first ones! but in a set called Loki

10:03 am

bichon

en 6/24, pls

10:03 am

Haz1558

Okay, checking now.

10:04 am

LeslieAnn

how is puppy training going? loki is so cute.

10:04 am

hurshy

who's the guy?

10:05 am

Haz1558

Loki is beautiful!

10:05 am

Marc Freeman

OH! thanks for the stats

10:06 am

Atalante

he is! he's a funny little pup

10:06 am

wvteach

halfway, NBS and NBT - time for a quick break

10:06 am

Atalante

he's got that cocker grumpy old man look

10:06 am

Haz1558

Bye, wv.

10:07 am

Atalante

well, he's got house training, and knows his name when he feels like it ...

10:07 am

Haz1558

That's the only thing I find strange - you can't really see the whites of their eyes when they look straight at you.

10:07 am

LeslieAnn

if house training is good, everything else is gravy!

10:08 am

Atalante

exactly! he has accidents, but he's only 11 weeks old so we can forgive him!

10:08 am

LeslieAnn

yeah that's awesome

10:08 am

hurshy

but who is the guy???

10:09 am

Haz1558

We missed out the stage where the pup can be lolloping round like mad and then suddenly HAVE to sleep.

10:09 am

Atalante

oh, "new" man. not new at all though really :P

10:09 am

Haz1558

(Sherlock Hurshy is on the case)

10:10 am

Atalante

he's still at that stage :)

10:11 am

o-o

Atalante, still in Canterbury?

10:12 am

Atalante

nope, up in Aberdeen now, in the northern realms of Scotsland

10:12 am

Haz1558

Ata will now know all the Scots words for babble.

10:12 am

Atalante

och aye

10:14 am

Atalante

saying that I saw an sk5 that I only now know from Scots talk

10:14 am

Haz1558

Are you able to understand people okay or have you had instances of needing translation?

10:15 am

LeslieAnn

skeeve isn't a word? must be too informal. spiders skeeve me out

10:15 am

Atalante

there's one guy that I cannot understand at all. I just nod hopefully. Everyone else I've come across so far isn't toooo bad

10:15 am

o-o

I have been to the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland, USA ...not likely to have any resemblance to Scotland.

10:16 am

Haz1558

If you're resident in Scotland, does that mean you'll get a vote in the referendum?

10:17 am

Atalante

yep!

10:17 am

hurshy

what's the referendum? secession?

10:17 am

Atalante

yes, voting for an independent scotland vs staying in the UK

10:17 am

Haz1558

Crazy, isn't it? Someone born in Scotland who now works in England doesn't have a vote.

10:18 am

bfsog

What have I missed? I am scottish.

10:18 am

hurshy

and ata, who has the english flag up here, does?

10:18 am

Atalante

it is a little strange ....

10:18 am

Haz1558

Yes, the leader of the SNP is keen to make Scotland independent. There's to be a referendum on the issue.

10:18 am

Marc Freeman

Could I get a clue for ca8, please?

10:18 am

LeslieAnn

pb for haz

10:19 am

hurshy

wouldn't it be a bit disadvantageous, economically and whatnot, for scotland?

10:19 am

72 Temple Owl

hello, all!

10:19 am

Haz1558

bfsog - Alex Salmond wants to break up the UK.

10:19 am

Atalante

in which only people living in scotland can vote

10:19 am

Atalante

depends which side you believe, hurshy!

10:19 am

Haz1558

ca8 - a type of window (old-fashioned)

10:19 am

bfsog

Yes I know that I meant what were you discussing? I saw someone say och aye...

10:19 am

Atalante

TO :)

10:19 am

Haz1558

Hello, TO.

10:19 am

o-o

Is the referendum contentious like the Quebec one was/is in Canada?

10:20 am

72 Temple Owl

Ata: :)

10:20 am

72 Temple Owl

and haz :)

10:20 am

Atalante

yes .... it's a bit of a big issue. peoppe are either very for it or very against it

10:20 am

Haz1558

Sorry, bf, we were talking about Ata's ability to understand the Scots speaking (she's English, don't you know)

10:21 am

Haz1558

I don't think there are going to be riots or anything about it, but I think the 'Please stay with us' camp is beginning to get started.

10:21 am

hurshy

you're all so wonderful over there, why can't you all just get along?

10:21 am

bfsog

I am both Eng and Scot, and most of the scots I know do not want there to be a referendum, however there will be one.

10:21 am

72 Temple Owl

i am lollygagging about here. two days ago without power i was moving VERY fast lol

10:21 am

Haz1558

We mostly do, hurshy, but sometimes you get people putting politics above getting along.

10:22 am

o-o

How novel, Haz ... not

10:22 am

Atalante

it seems to be very edinburgh and glasgow vs the rest of scotland at the moment

10:22 am

Haz1558

I know, o-o. Politics is the same all over the world.

10:22 am

Marc Freeman

Sorry Haz didn't get that clue?

10:22 am

Haz1558

Edinburgh and Glasgow agree about something?

10:23 am

hurshy

ca8 rhymes with another word for cellar

10:23 am

72 Temple Owl

so this is an urban initiative?

10:23 am

DS927

Do you have power now, TO , or are you staying elsewhere?

10:23 am

Haz1558

ca8 - start with what you put your clothes in for holiday, finish with a herb used with lamb but change the vowel.

10:23 am

Atalante

apparently! I've been told that most of the yes vote is in glasgow and half of edinburgh. don't know which half though!

10:23 am

bfsog

Scotland has their own government, own currency. I believe becoming independent will do more harm than good for Scotland

10:23 am

Marc Freeman

got it thanks

10:24 am

Atalante

we don't quite have our own currency :P

10:24 am

72 Temple Owl

oh yes, i do, ty. lost it wee hours tues and returned llate wednesday. they took us off line again yestedar for several hours whilst connectiing other customers.

10:25 am

Haz1558

They've got their own banknotes (so do we!) but they've been told that they won't be able to keep the pound sterling if it goes ahead.

10:25 am

DS927

I was out for 24h. This has been a rough one.

10:25 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. i feel for the many who still do not have it.

10:25 am

Atalante

except we might be able to, or might not, or who the heck knows!

10:26 am

DS927

I know a few. I can't imagine no power for 3 days with this cold & ice. I hope they get it soon before the next snow....ugh.

10:26 am

Haz1558

I just can't see it happening, I'd be very sad if it did.

10:26 am

Atalante

me too

10:26 am

72 Temple Owl

and, whilst debating england's greatness, hursh, see my icon. :)

10:27 am

bfsog

Scottish people can be very close minded and the general feeling of contempt towards English is the only reason. Explain to them what it will mean and they will not listen

10:27 am

hurshy

ahhh

10:27 am

Atalante

Haz isn't close minded :D

10:28 am

Haz1558

10:28 am

DS927

10:28 am

10:29 am

Atalante

utter smug!

10:29 am

i can get my cat to sit still for...ages

10:29 am

Atalante

I can get my pup to lie still for hours

10:29 am

If he lets me down on the night....

10:29 am

LeslieAnn

me too, as long as she's sleeping

10:30 am

72 Temple Owl

10:30 am

Atalante

he won't ... probably :)

10:30 am

hurshy

what happens if you don't get the canine good citizen thing? are you not allowed to take him off your property for walks?

10:31 am

Atalante

he doesn't get a big rosette to look smug about

10:31 am

72 Temple Owl

loki is just adorable. but my inorance of dogs wants to ask breed? *hans head in shame*

10:31 am

Atalante

he's a cocker spaniel :)

10:31 am

Haz1558

Nothing will happen, I'll just be utterly disgraced.

10:32 am

Atalante

and will never be able to show your face in town again

10:32 am

hurshy

10:32 am

72 Temple Owl

oooh, i thought so! you and haz have matching pups then?

10:32 am

Haz1558

Never, I'll have to wear a disguise.

10:32 am

Atalante

yes! very matching!

10:32 am

10:32 am

Atalante

10:33 am

LeslieAnn

have they met yet?

10:33 am

72 Temple Owl

hahahaha do folks expect a vets dog to be perfectly behaved?

10:33 am

Haz1558

No, it's just that people know that we're doing the classes and they'll ask at the surgery how we got on.

i considered going for CGC with my dog but once I saw one of the requirements that you had to stop and talk to someone without your dog greeting them i knew it would never happen

10:36 am

LeslieAnn

dog has never met anyone who's not her newest best friend

10:36 am

Atalante

ouch yes that seems unlikely!

10:36 am

o-o

Hmmm ... politics and the Prince and the Cardinal at work.

10:36 am

Yes, the dog must not jump up on the examiner, just sit and look impassive.

10:39 am

I don't think they'll mind if it's smiley.

10:40 am

For gold they have to cook a dinner.

Jeeves didn't smile.

Absolutely, although they are allowed to seek help with cufflinks.

lots of stuff! I'm currently trying to work out how the UK should monitor stuff on the sea bed and helping people understand marine sponges

10:45 am

Haz1558

I must go, Dempsey's walk is overdue. Lovely to see you, Ata, and everyone else. Don't leave it so long again! Toodle-oo.

10:45 am

what is loki's coloration called, ata? i had never seen it until i saw dempsey.

10:53 am

Atalante

it's called blue roan

10:54 am

Atalante

roan is the white / grey / black mix in the coat

10:54 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't believe i've even seen it here in the states. is it peculiar to cockers?

10:55 am

Atalante

springers do have it, I'm not sure abotu other breeds

10:55 am

72 Temple Owl

ah, that makes sense.

10:56 am

this is an interesting page - shows how puppies develop their colouring - http://www.powerscourt-cockers.co.uk/a\ndvice_pages/colour_development.htm

11:18 am

MLFAN17

ty jaxx

11:18 am

Atalante

800,000 year old footprints :)

11:19 am

MLFAN17

leslie i dont have it but am looking

11:19 am

rubyfoo

it's incredible that they could find those footprints and that they are so ephemeral that they have to be studied immediately and mostly by photographs

11:20 am

rubyfoo

We are not on 6 and 7, Ruffino and Rafaella.

11:20 am

rubyfoo

We are not on 6 and 7, Ruffino and Rafaella.

11:21 am

MLFAN17

11:21 am

rubyfoo

My Ruby died last year at 2 months past age ten, which is pretty good for a chow chow

11:22 am

rubyfoo

LeslieAnn

11:25 am

LeslieAnn

just had a guy come to the door asking if i wanted a free lawn care estimate. Was wearing a neon shirt that said "Weed Man." Not sure if he was selling lawn care.

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

11:25 am

72 Temple Owl

ty for the perpective.

11:29 am

Atalante

awww poor Ruby, but I'm glad you've got 2 new chows to love! Are they both orange?

11:30 am

Jillyjill

Hello babbleworld!!

11:30 am

rubyfoo

They are both shaded blonde and are now very hard to tell apart. He is a "rough chow" so his hair is straight, long and a little bristly. The vet says he's the best one she's ever seen. Raffie, although pure like all the others, has tiny ears and small eyes and the fluffiest, longest fur Ive ever seen When you touch her, it feels like yourhand is in a pillow

11:30 am

harpjane

hi jilly

11:31 am

rubyfoo

hello jilly

11:31 am

Jillyjill

hi there harp...quite the winter weather this week!

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

hey jilly

11:32 am

harpjane

works for me! I love the snow. I just wish I could go skiing without foot dealies. Oh well.

11:32 am

Atalante

11:32 am

Jillyjill

hi ruby and TO

11:32 am

72 Temple Owl

ruby, they sound cute. they are large dogs?

11:32 am

rubyfoo

I thought I could never replace Ruby, but Rufie is now the dog of my heart

11:32 am

rubyfoo

and they love each other, cavorting like wolves

11:33 am

Jillyjill

I have to get up to mom's tomorrow to fill her med box...thank God for 4X4!

11:33 am

harpjane

nbt

11:33 am

harpjane

is she doing ok, jilli?

11:33 am

Atalante

I just saw Ruffino's photo - what a handsome boy!

11:33 am

Jillyjill

too well...LOL

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

lots of snow, jilly?

11:35 am

Jillyjill

I've just come the the decision to let her be, can't convince her to move, so it'll be to have something happen to either convince her (unlikely) or to cause injury that forces the issue

11:36 am

harpjane

right. you have to let the situation "ripen."

11:36 am

72 Temple Owl

oh no. that is hard.

11:36 am

Jillyjill

Not as bad as east coast and pretty typical for how Montana used to be during winter.

11:37 am

Jillyjill

Love your comical cryptic comments harp!

11:38 am

harpjane

what. you mean i'm the only one who knows what i'm talking about? I'm shocked!

11:38 am

harpjane

ve8?

11:38 am

Rows

Jill, your mom sounds as stubborn as mine

11:39 am

jaxx7

said with force

11:39 am

Jillyjill

LOL, possibly Rows, the only problem is that your mom is probably my age!! REally chuckling now

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

:)

11:40 am

Jillyjill

ty Jaxx

11:41 am

jaxx7

harp, ve8 intense

11:41 am

wvteach

OL 5/18 - ending to different branches of study (like with myths)

11:43 am

harpjane

thanks nbt nbs

11:43 am

LeslieAnn

might as well ask for of7 while i'm at it. my last 2

11:43 am

Rows

Jill, my mom's age is pretty irrelevant to her physical health and her mental health

11:43 am

Rows

she's quite bad off

11:43 am

72 Temple Owl

funny how it jumps out after teah clued it. ty

11:43 am

LeslieAnn

huh. did not know that could stand on its own

11:44 am

wvteach

didn't think it would either

11:44 am

LeslieAnn

nvm fireworks!

11:44 am

LeslieAnn

any clues before i go?

11:44 am

72 Temple Owl

if enable allows putting a y on the end of ca4/9, why not that?

11:44 am

72 Temple Owl

yay, la!

11:45 am

wvteach

OF 7 - compound word, would use it in reverse order more, to throw away

11:45 am

Jillyjill

So sorry Rows, it must be really hard for you, at my age it is expected to be dealing with a mom and health issues

11:46 am

Rows

been dealing with mom health issues for most of my life

11:46 am

72 Temple Owl

i have to go, my eyes are very tired. guess they will be until i get new glasses.

11:46 am

72 Temple Owl

happy babbling, all, so nice to see you all

11:46 am

Rows

i spent 7.5 years to graduate from college because i was home taking care of her part time

11:46 am

Rows

now she hardly wants anything to do with me

11:47 am

Jillyjill

I am sorry rows, think mine feels that way sometimes

11:47 am

72 Temple Owl

that is tough, rows.

11:47 am

Rows

yeah, my entire family situation is pretty f-ed up

11:48 am

Rows

what i've just told you is just a slight glimpse of it

11:48 am

Rows

so i'm glad to have nice friends of whom i can basically make my own family

11:48 am

harpjane

I sort of lucked out. When my mom was 84 she married a wonderful man who loves to keep her on track!

11:48 am

Jillyjill

nbt/nbs and halfway

11:48 am

Rows

it also makes it easier for me to be living abroad

11:48 am

jaxx7

She feels guilty aboutyou spending so much of your 'youth' looking after her.

11:49 am

Rows

no, jaxx, it's not like that at all... my mom has quite bad mental health problems that make her feel quite the opposite actually

11:49 am

Rows

she feels like she should be able to control where i live, and that i should be living in the US and not in Honduras

11:49 am

Rows

she basically disowned me when i moved here

11:49 am

jaxx7

A mixed blessing?

11:50 am

Rows

yeah well, it is what it is

11:50 am

Rows

i just hope to settle somewhere in the next 5 years and start a family of my own that won't be so messed up

11:51 am

jaxx7

I am off to make evening meal.

11:51 am

Jillyjill

Doesn't make the pain go away though Rows...(((hugs)))

11:51 am

harpjane

I am off to make breakfast.

11:51 am

Jillyjill

See you harp!

11:52 am

Jillyjill

;) Hey rows, my son's available!

11:52 am

Rows

lol Jill

11:53 am

Rows

i'd go out with him if he were in Honduras

11:53 am

harpjane

JILLY! SHAME ON YOU! I'M TELLING!

11:53 am

Jillyjill

Let me know next time you're in US...LOL

11:54 am

harpjane

You have violated the motherhood prime directive!

11:54 am

Rows

oh Jill, btw, my aunt is running for a State of Montana House position apparently

11:54 am

Jillyjill

And that is?

11:55 am

Jillyjill

REally??? What is her name?

11:55 am

Rows

yeah she's running to be a State Representative...

11:55 am

Rows

Katy Walton

11:55 am

Rows

you probably haven't heard of her yet

11:55 am

Rows

i think she just started her campaign

11:55 am

Jillyjill

Wow...just another small world connection with us!

11:56 am

Rows

haha

11:56 am

Jillyjill

Where does she live?

11:56 am

Rows

i wouldn't vote for her, personally, because she's Republican and i just can't stand that party

11:56 am

Rows

but she's a sweet lady, who knows, she might do a great job

11:56 am

Jillyjill

bleghhh.

11:56 am

Rows

she lives in Thompson Falls

11:57 am

Rows

i've visited once, it's beautiful up there

11:57 am

harpjane

funny, that's relatively close to us. in Montana terms.

11:57 am

harpjane

11:57 am

Jillyjill

Ah, definitly small town, very pretty

11:57 am

Rows

1:09 pm

Kaplan the Magne

To a Roman, it's a mon-u-ment, to a smoker, it's a Kent. La la la la the taste of Kent...more taste fine tobacco.

1:10 pm

1:12 pm

BzznBea

1:12 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I'd also walk a camel for a mile, but not without a water bottle.

3:07 pm

welki

i watch this guy who looks like a bouncer putter around the stage - he's big and tall - maybe 6''2" and 350 pounds - looks like you wouldn't want to have him mad at you

3:08 pm

welki

the band starts, he walks to the mike, picks it up and starts singing, 'patio lanterns' in a sweet little tenor voice - everyone's eyes opened, was afraid we'd ALL fall on the floor

3:09 pm

welki

oh - before he started, he took the mike and tried to get everyone all ínto the event - 'so wasn't that the best meal?" "can't hear ya....'" and his voice was deeeeep then

That's the 3rd one.

4:15 pm

Soodle

ME 5/12, me + snake letter & abb for North East.

4:15 pm

phandmd

4:16 pm

4:16 pm

phandmd

4:17 pm

phandmd

I am guessing you don't have it.

4:26 pm

phandmd

4:26 pm

Soodle

Ve, the bottom stitched part of a garment, and first 3 letters of opposite of exit.

(fourth time is a charm, and all that)

4:34 pm

Soodle

A triumph of hope over experience! Good for the pair of ye. :-)

4:34 pm

uusue2

there you go :-)

4:35 pm

Soodle

And, Peri, are you still having domestic problems? Unappreciated snow-shovelling etc....

4:37 pm

periwinkle

yep

4:37 pm

periwinkle

well, they do appreciate it but no one else helps

4:38 pm

Soodle

Very frustrating. I feel your pain.

4:38 pm

periwinkle

it is ok if the snow is light and fluffy but the last snow was heavy and wet and now has turned to ice in the placed where I did not shovel

4:38 pm

MollyL

*Needs to go visit Peri with my steel-toed boots*

4:38 pm

periwinkle

I must find another place to live

4:38 pm

uusue2

bummer, peri!

4:38 pm

periwinkle

I wish you would visit, Molls.

4:39 pm

uusue2

Frank is out shoveling our snow now - I try to get him to wait until it stops (otherwise he winds up doing the whole thing twice, and why?) but he hates it and wants to get rid of it as soon as possible

4:39 pm

MollyL

Have you ever seen Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back? Where they go on the ass kicking tour at the end? That is what I was thinking of. : D

4:40 pm

periwinkle

I have not seen that, Molls

4:40 pm

periwinkle

he will have less to shovel each time, tho, sue

4:40 pm

MollyL

Where is that young, strong and healthy son of yours Sue? : )

4:40 pm

uusue2

true, peri

4:40 pm

periwinkle

we are supposed to get snow showers tomorrow which will not amount to much. more concerned about a possible storm coming next week

4:41 pm

uusue2

he shovels sometimes too, Molly, but he has a really tough schedule this semester and I try not to impose on him

4:41 pm

periwinkle

spring will be here in 41 days!

4:41 pm

uusue2

at the moment he is studying for a fluid mechanics test

4:41 pm

periwinkle

but if they shovel together it will get done much faster, sue

4:41 pm

periwinkle

that is what I was hoping for here

4:41 pm

Soodle

<-----Could do with Molly & her steel toed boots right now. Several people in my immediate vicinity could do with a sharp kick in the you know whats. :-(

4:42 pm

uusue2

true, peri, and sometimes they do that

4:42 pm

uusue2

<--- actually has steel-toed boots (left over from the days when I worked in physics labs - they are official safety shoes)

4:42 pm

MollyL

Steel-toed boots are great for liquor stealers

4:43 pm

uusue2

they are good for kicking your experiment when you are frustrated with it too (as long as you keep away from the more delicate bits)

4:45 pm

MollyL

Think of the damage we can do if we went on The Official Babble Ass Kicking Tour. And how long the list would be.

4:45 pm

uusue2

there you go, Molly :-)

4:45 pm

Soodle

Lol, I've got over THAT particular gripe, Molly. I have loads more to complain about now. And loads more recipients of those boots. :-(

4:46 pm

MollyL

You are much nicer than I am then. Steal my liquor and you are on my shit list for a LONG time.

4:46 pm

Bye Peri. Stay strong. (((())))

4:51 pm

4:52 pm

uusue2

egads, just clicked on my weather window and saw that our low Tuesday morning is supposed to be -14F. Brrr!

4:58 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT uusue!!

4:59 pm

MollyL

That's nasty cold, Sue

5:00 pm

Jillyjill

Just survived that here...18 degrees today and seems blissfull!

5:00 pm

Soodle

Oh my! Would you look at that! FW!

5:01 pm

uusue2

Wow, you are warmer than we are, Jill! Today it is 13 and snowing.

5:01 pm

uusue2

Yay soodle!

5:01 pm

MollyL

The only good thing about this winter is that no one is whining about how warm it is. Mother Nature has a habit of evening things out.

5:04 pm

uusue2

actually it is unusually warm in Alaska - they have set record high temperatures, and have had avalanches due to melting snow

5:05 pm

o-o

The snow provides moisture and jobs.

5:06 pm

Soodle

The weather seems to have gone a bit bonkers. We have had Atlantic storm after storm now since before Christmas. Rivers have burst their banks all over the country andeverywher is totally waterlogged.

5:07 pm

Jillyjill

WooT WooT WooT soodle!!

5:07 pm

uusue2

Yes - also record heat in Australia and Brazil

5:07 pm

Rows

i whine about how warm it is here :P

5:08 pm

Soodle

Cheers, Jilly. 😃

5:08 pm

Rows

though, that's not really something to whine about as much as the narcotics problems blocking my cell reception...

5:08 pm

Jillyjill

Well rows, I always say one can put more clothes on when it's warm versus how many one can take off!!

5:08 pm

Soodle

Hi Rows :-)

5:09 pm

Rows

hey Soodle

5:09 pm

Jillyjill

Slainte soodle!

5:09 pm

o-o

Soodle, flooding is not good. Has the moisture hurt the rhubarb?

5:09 pm

Rows

yeah i just found out some interesting news... apparently in my town, they've blocked all the cell phone lines (all service providers) for 3 days because of narcotic trafficking problems in the jail in or near my town...

5:10 pm

uusue2

oh dear, rows, that sounds a bit drastic!

5:10 pm

Rows

not sure how that's going to help solve the problem, but it sucks for me right now cos i was supposed to call a friend today to get together and then i couldn't

5:10 pm

Rows

yeah they don't really do things logically here

5:10 pm

Jillyjill

That's not good rows!

5:11 pm

Soodle

o-o, lets just say the rhubarb will be diluted this year. :-p

5:11 pm

Rows

i just don't really get the logic behind it... sure, cutting off cell communication will make drug sales harder for the days that it's cut off, but once it's turned back on, i'm not sure how they aren't going to just have the same problems again

5:11 pm

Jillyjill

Soodle, how far are you from Dublin?

5:12 pm

Soodle

Yikes, Rows. It sounds like a storyline from Breaking Bad.

5:12 pm

Jillyjill

Phone, brb

5:12 pm

Rows

haha

5:12 pm

Rows

maybe story writers from Breaking Bad spent time in Honduras

5:13 pm

Soodle

Jilly, I'm only 35 / 40 minutes from Dublin's north side. Why? (She asked hopefully...)

5:14 pm

Rows

hehe Soodle

5:16 pm

Soodle

A fellow Babbler, Riverdance, is visiting here in May. Finally! At last! A Babble meet up that I will attend. I'm very excited.

5:16 pm

Rows

nice

5:16 pm

Rows

no one happens to be in or near Seattle, are they?

5:16 pm

uusue2

awesome, soodle! I would love to visit too but money is a bit of an obstacle at the moment...

5:17 pm

uusue2

stidmama and stidgmere are in NW Washington, rows, and there are babblers on Vancouver Island (and some nearby islands as well)

5:17 pm

Rows

hmm

5:17 pm

Rows

i'll be in Tacoma for a week in April

5:17 pm

Jillyjill

My friend is now living in Dublin. Nothing definite, but Ireland is higher on my list!!

5:17 pm

Rows

gonna visit my best friend :)

5:18 pm

Jillyjill

Yes rows, I might even be able to get over to Seattle

5:18 pm

Soodle

Lol Sue! I know the feeling. I describe myself as 'financially embarrassed' at the moment. ( and for the foreseeable future.... :-(

5:18 pm

Jillyjill

5:52 pm

5:53 pm

5:53 pm

Rows

5:55 pm

mkg

hi all. clues for the 8s?

5:56 pm

doseffing

... ca8 ... type of window

5:56 pm

doseffing

ve 8 ... very forceful ... even angry

5:56 pm

dan2bit

they both end the same

5:57 pm

Rows

sorry if it sounds rude to ask this, but are there people who don't have access to lickety's clues? i just didn't want to link you and then have you be offended or something

5:57 pm

doseffing

... i remember a couple but it is unusual

5:58 pm

Rows

i just wondered because it seems often that people ask for stats

5:58 pm

Rows

but all of the stats are on lickety's page

5:58 pm

MollyL

Some people won't look at Lickety's list. I'm not sure why because they ask for stats here, which is the same thing, to me.

5:59 pm

Rows

yeah it is pretty much the same... hmm

5:59 pm

Lizlin

Good morning - perhaps it's because they don't want a clue to the alphabetical order?

6:01 pm

MollyL

I don't know. It seems everyone has their own set of "rules" about how they do these grids. Some people will say they finished without listing, but have been in chat asking for clues all day.

6:02 pm

rururocks

or they prefer to be annoying ?

6:02 pm

penquis

stats without a list is a little tougher than stats within the list.. i ask for stats when i don't want to give up and go to the list yet...

6:02 pm

cosdem

yeah its more obvious if you see it on a list with a word before and after it

6:02 pm

penquis

exactly...

6:03 pm

MollyL

What gets tedious is when people say that they have...and then give a list of the (for example) te words they have. Then they want to be told what they are missing.

6:03 pm

doseffing

... if you just have the stats you don't have the alphabetical placement ... often once I list I'll type the words from the list without even looking at the grid because there's only one thing that it could be

6:03 pm

cosdem

same here dose

6:04 pm

doseffing

... of course ... I can't find the of7 ... please

6:04 pm

cosdem

I've only done that for dayswhen licketydidn't list otherwise there is no point doing that I agree Molly

6:05 pm

MollyL

Well, it's a whole different ball game when there is no Lickety, Cos. : )

6:05 pm

cosdem

of7:
not on + a group of actors in a movie/play

6:05 pm

cosdem

true true all bets are off then. .

6:05 pm

doseffing

... silly me ... thanks ...

6:06 pm

6:08 pm

Rows

6:08 pm

rururocks

fe 8 is a jewish sound of disgust

6:08 pm

Rows

6:09 pm

rururocks

6:33 pm

MollyL

6:34 pm

rururocks

Just as well, the shallow end is for dimmies.

6:45 pm

cosdem

For some people, "fireworks" is just too ordinary.

7:47 pm

penquis

well since i usually list, i never announce fireworks....doesn't seem right to call it that...

7:49 pm

MollyL

I've never been quite sure why announcing your DONE! is so important.

7:50 pm

penquis

it gives one a sense of closure, i think...

7:52 pm

MollyL

You could be right Pen. I forget there are people who need closure for things like that.

7:52 pm

penquis

it brings cognitive satisfaction... ;o)

7:54 pm

MollyL

Now I'm thinking potty training and the I'M DONE thing.
: D

7:54 pm

penquis

lol

8:04 pm

rururocks

it's not always good to have silent fireworks

8:06 pm

rururocks

I go through phases.. quietly finishing and lately wrapping it up and "having closure?" I hate that word

8:06 pm

MollyL

Oh that's right. Then there is the stage beyond potty training where one has to be loud doing something else.

8:07 pm

rururocks

it's better than whimpering :D

8:08 pm

MollyL

Much better than whimpering : )

8:08 pm

rururocks

HA

8:10 pm

MollyL

Maybe we should talk about our dogs. Oh wait, I don't have one. : /

8:10 pm
