rururocks

my dog loves bourbon vanilla ice cream
12:29 am
SpellCheck

Ha. Who doesn't?
12:29 am
rururocks

I brought a small bowl to my desk and went to get a larger spoon and poof ..it's toast!
12:29 am
SpellCheck

Good doggie!
12:30 am
rururocks

freakin' counter surfer.. I have to work on him

*!* ta da *!*
12:36 am
cybernan

wouldn't mind a bigger grid one of these days
12:36 am
rururocks

hope you don't catch a cold
12:36 am
rururocks

no one wants you coffin around here :D
12:37 am
rururocks

i'll take a giant grid on the weekend please
12:37 am
cybernan

good night all - having trouble keeping the eyes open
12:37 am
SpellCheck

I was around for a 525 ish sized grid. that was torture.
12:37 am
SpellCheck

night nan
12:38 am
flosey

fw and off to bed, goodnight all
12:38 am
rururocks

the biggest I've done is 744 I think
12:38 am
rururocks

night flosey
12:38 am
rururocks

that was brutal
12:38 am
rururocks

so many co's I thought i'd never make it
12:42 am
SpellCheck

did you finish the grid on your own or did you use lickety's list?
12:42 am
SpellCheck

this grid... not the 744
12:45 am
rururocks

I think I used lickety's list on that one.. but I got really confused
12:45 am
rururocks

I think there were like 93 Co' words
12:45 am
SpellCheck

I have a decent vocabulary, but I'd be hard pressed to come up with 93 co's
12:46 am
rururocks

Mrs ru thought I was out of my mind to try to finish it
12:46 am
rururocks

she said :" you are going to be doing this all day!" I said : "no, I'm not"
12:47 am
rururocks

"i'm going to be doing it all day and all night "
12:47 am
SpellCheck

I don't check every day, but if the grid is over 225, I often skip it. DH says I have the "completionist" gene - meaning, I have to finish what I start.
12:48 am
rururocks

oh.. I have that same gene
12:48 am
SpellCheck

Probably most of us here do.
12:48 am
rururocks

good guess
12:48 am
rururocks

at least the 1030 club
12:49 am
SpellCheck

Hmpfh. I'll have to play more.. I'm only at 1011 these days. :-(
12:50 am
rururocks

1011 is pretty good
12:52 am
SpellCheck

Oooh, there's a new movie about a giant earthquake in LA. Saw the news trailer.
12:53 am
rururocks

I certainly don't need to see any earthquake movies
12:54 am
SpellCheck

Thankfully, I haven't been here for any big ones. I can miss that.... Do you have your earthquake kit together?
12:54 am
SpellCheck

How is doggie doing after the ice cream?
12:54 am
rururocks

I did.. but the quake broke all my booze bottles
12:54 am
SpellCheck

Horrors!
12:54 am
rururocks

doggie looks smug and happy
12:55 am
rururocks

he had the audacity to burp afterwards too
12:55 am
SpellCheck

I'll bet. Were you able to get a replacement bowl for yourself?
12:55 am
rururocks

nah.. I gave up and had a popsicle
12:57 am
SpellCheck

Poor Ru, a popsicle is a poor second to ice cream.
12:57 am
rururocks

so true
12:57 am
rururocks

probably better for me though
12:58 am
SpellCheck

Perhaps... but I'd be happier with the ice cream.
12:58 am
rururocks

I'm sure I would have been too.. but fate got in my way
1:01 am
rururocks

72 pounds of fate
1:01 am
SpellCheck

Ooh. Big doggie.
1:02 am
rururocks

he's a big boy
1:03 am
SpellCheck

4:12 am

zzoozz" did you have frost yet.? We had our first last night
4:12 am

and my Raffie is OK after her surgery.
4:12 am

how did you know i was just about finished my last book?
4:12 am

<--smiling
4:12 am

Yes we had several nights of frost, Ruby. But now onto wet & windy weather for the next few days :-(
4:13 am
grannyrose

Raffie?? had surgery?? why ??
4:13 am
zoozzoom

Did nont know Raffie needed surgery.Glad she is okay though.I knew one of your dogs was having a haircut and nail trim I think.
4:14 am
rubyfoo

I originally just wanted to have the vet put her under a clean her up as she had HUGE clumps of knotted damp fur around her head and neck but the vet insisted on operating on her entropion
4:14 am
rubyfoo

She will be absolutely "magnifique" when her eyes heasl up
4:15 am
grannyrose

oh, just googled it....okay....hope the darling has made it through okay. when do you bring raffie home?
4:15 am
rubyfoo

Entropion is very common in chows. Ruby had it, but was never operated on. The people who brought me Raffie said that she had had the operation, but I think they lied
4:16 am
rubyfoo

The vet picked her up in the morning and DIL picked her up at 4
4:16 am
zoozzoom

Oh yes I remember that, Ruby.As you had to wait a bit longer before you could have them.
4:16 am
rubyfoo

She rode home on my lap. That is a lot of dog! My thighs are all bruised
4:18 am
rubyfoo

I arranged to do it while DIL was here because she is strong and needed to help me put Raffie in the car.
4:19 am
grannyrose

good planning, ruby
4:20 am
rubyfoo

It worked well as Lisa could drive back from the vet and I could hold the pup. Husband would have been useless
4:20 am
zoozzoom

Hey what happened to my post.The chat log swalllowed it up.Bloody cheek.
4:21 am
grannyrose

oh, yeah, sure zooz. admit it...you were away getting another cuppa....lol
4:21 am
zoozzoom

try#2 How is that going, Ruby, Have you taken DIL anywhere nice?
4:22 am
rubyfoo

We took her to Ssprite's resto, as always, but since it was her birthday, they made her a cake with sparklers
4:23 am
rubyfoo

She helps a lot, but I am very tired of all the talking! And it's the same old stories, over and over again
4:23 am
zoozzoom

ooh very tempting, Rose, might have another later when I get my house work done. Gosh i hate house work.Sooo boring.Except hoovering..for some reason I like hoovering..lol
4:24 am
zoozzoom

Thats sound snice then, Ruby.hope the cake was delish!
4:24 am
rubyfoo

that is funny, zzoozz, hovering is the one household chore I have not done since I was 10. I would rather get down on my hands and knees and pick lint off a carpet or scrub a floor!!!!
4:24 am
grannyrose

lol, zooz...as does my DH. ruby....will that be sprite's and mine resto by next year.
4:24 am
zoozzoom

Yes the last time DIL came down to you I remember you saying they talk about the same things over and over again.

4:28 am

4:29 am

And the view is superb
4:29 am

4:31 am

In googleearth you can practically see my house, 47 route de Morat. And you might even be able to see the sheep in the field across the road

So you are very close to a big lake then. very nice.

we are between the lake (below) and the cliffs (above). The view from our house is wonderful
4:34 am
rubyfoo

And unobstructed in either direction
4:36 am
rubyfoo

We could never have afforded a place like this in the US
4:36 am
zoozzoom

Yes I can see you on the map with your shopping from the super market :-)
4:36 am
rubyfoo

that is, if such a place existed -- perfect climate, enclosed (large) garden, etc
4:37 am
rubyfoo

Can you see the dogs? LOL
4:37 am
rubyfoo

or the sheep?
4:37 am
zoozzoom

Yes they must be an old photo as they need a hair trim :-)
4:38 am
zoozzoom

No but I can see a fair few of the houses have outdoor swimming pools!
4:38 am
rubyfoo

the sheep, me, or the dogs?
4:38 am
rubyfoo

both side s of us, we just have a round fishpond
4:39 am
rubyfoo

previous owners had excavated for a pool in the lower garden, but we had it filled in asI can't swim and Burt had no interest
4:40 am
zoozzoom

No good having something you both do not need.
4:40 am
rubyfoo

and with a risk of dogs falling in (like poor old Max drowned in the fishpond)
4:41 am
rubyfoo

off to the brasserie for lunch

Well thanks! I'd missed you and Rose over the last few days, so I was just checking to see if you were here.
6:03 am
Lizlin

How are you?
6:05 am
sprite

I am ok. Having a bit of trouble adjusting to the much colder weather, lots of pain allover. But that will pass :)
6:06 am
Lizlin

Sounds really unpleasant. It's the other way around for me - hot and humid at the moment. Huge storms yesterday and more predicted over the next few days.
6:06 am
Lizlin

How's Tim doing?
6:06 am
sprite

ouch, not a picnic either.
6:07 am
Lizlin

Makes night time a bit unpleasant even with the fans. Still, not complaining. I still prefer living here to London,
6:08 am
sprite

not many whales in London for sure
6:08 am
Lizlin

And there are more of the nasty hissy things around, when the weather is hot, though hopefully I won't see one.
6:09 am
Lizlin

No, I'd miss the whales.
6:10 am
Lizlin

Thought there was a smallish snake on the pavement yesterday, when we walked by the beach but apparently it was a Legless Lizard! Head's completely different or something and it's definitely a lizard. But I didn't like seeing it!
6:10 am
sprite

I kinda like snakes. But I don't think I'd like them in my house!
6:11 am
Lizlin

Lots of houses here have carpet pythons in the roof. We don't, I'm pleased to say. The pest people check the roof out, when they come to spray.

6:12 am

6:13 am

I do sometimes wonder why I came to live here, then I remember the beautiful beaches and the whales and our fantastic house.
6:13 am

you not well, car? Or just over the snakes?
6:14 am
Lizlin

I assumed just over the snakes. Hope I wasn't being unsympathetic!

In the opening sequence of The Simpsons Christmas episode
8:38 am

Ah. Shame on me. I haven't seen a Simpsons episode in far too long. Should program the DVR. Here's a trivia question. Name a TV program that's been on longer than the Simpsons. Soap operas do not count!

I believe The Simpsons hit there 25th anniversary not too long ago.

Oh of course, Sesame Street

Okay. Gotta go do something productive to justify the pay check. See y'all tomorrow! *POOF*
8:48 am
MimiCat

Gotta disagree, Molly. I absolutely adore Jimmy Fallon. He's creative and charming and I'm watching the show again after years of not bothering.
8:50 am
hego

YIKES! Babble is shrinking!!
8:50 am
hego

Hi All
8:50 am
MimiCat

Hi, hego! Yep...really tired of this little grids.
8:51 am
hego

Mimi, I agree about Jimmy. He's a very talented guy.
8:51 am
hego

There was only one Johnny Carson, though.
8:52 am
MimiCat

Every host of that show has been unique. I just really respond to Fallon. For some reason, I just cannot watch Jimmy Kimmel. It's a matter of taste.
8:53 am
hego

Kimmel is kind of smirky.
8:53 am
hego

and sometimes sexist.
8:54 am
MimiCat

I also find him visually unappealing...again..preference.
8:55 am
hego

you're entitled. :)
8:55 am
MimiCat

Yep...we all are. It's the differences that make life interesting.
8:56 am
MollyL

Fallon is great, but that is The Jimmy Fallon Show. The Tonight Show was one of a kind.
8:57 am
MimiCat

You're right about that, Molly. I just much prefer it now as it's actually lively and interesting. I love when they play games. There are enough shows where people just sit and talk...tired of that.
8:59 am
MimiCat

I really like Ellen, too.
8:59 am
hego

She's lively.
9:01 am
MimiCat

I think it must be difficult to do that job every day and keep it fresh both for the audience and the host. Of course, gotta be more fun than the jobs most of the rest of us have....and pays a lot better.
9:02 am
MimiCat

Speaking of jobs, gotta get to mine. Have a good one, all.

hi Jeanne! You spell your name the way my mom did :-)
11:03 am
jeanne314

It seems to be less common in the States!
11:03 am
jeanne314

I have my dad to thank...I think he was "in love" with some French movie star back in the '50s!
11:03 am
uusue2

It does; my mom's high school French teacher thought she was French. She wasn't; my grandmother just liked the name.
11:04 am
jeanne314

LOL! I had the same experience -- esp since my middle name is Louise...Jeanne Louise, how French, non?
11:04 am
jeanne314

and I'm as Irish and German as it gets
11:05 am
uusue2

Indeed! And my first name is Suzanne, so my mom was keeping up the tradition (my middle name is more Irish than French, though)
11:05 am
jeanne314

(and a little Scots)...the French thing must have been en vogue then! So spill the middle name!
11:05 am
jeanne314

(what's the "uu" part of your moniker???)

I KNEW it!! I'm a UU too!

Eileen is lovely!
11:07 am
uusue2

cool! There are several of us here, I think
11:07 am
jeanne314

The site sort of attracts a certain type...not to be profiling, but yeah, it does.
11:08 am
uusue2

When I was growing up (a long time ago now..) there were tons of girls named Sue - now there seem to be very few
11:08 am

MollyL

*Looks around for other Pagans*
11:08 am
jeanne314

I post about once every year or so. I'm more of a lurker...Same thing with Debbie -- all three of my besties were Debs! And now, a vanishing breed. Alas
11:09 am
jeanne314

Oh, the pagan thing...I dearly love my True Believer friends of all persuasions, but they think I'm a witch or something. Wish that were true!
11:09 am
uusue2

Hi Molly! I was very interested in Paganism for some time; I still like the earth-centered focus of it.
11:10 am
uusue2

I have thought of describing myself as an atheist physicist humanist techno-pagan, but that is too long to use regularly :-)
11:11 am
jeanne314

So I avoid all politics and religion discussions like the plague! Maybe it's the German/Irish in me, but I'm very Earth-centric -- which God, if such a being exists, would be the Creator of, so yeah, cherish what is given, I say.
11:11 am
jeanne314

That is hilarious, uusue!
11:12 am
uusue2

Funny story - the UU church I went to about 20 years ago had a pagan student minister, who was also a lesbian. Overheard at coffee hour: "Wow! You're a lesbian witch! You have to come talk to my Sunday school class!" Very UU, that :-)
11:13 am
jeanne314

I found UU groups to be very nurturing to all, mostly non-exclusive (that would be more up to certain individuals!) -- I dislike groups (religions) that first and foremost establish themselves based on their separateness from "others."
11:14 am
jeanne314

LOLOL!
11:15 am
jeanne314

I have found some Christian groups to be very open and loving. . .but it's still love the sinner, hate the sin...so I felt that I was still adjudged to be a sinner (albeit one who is loved, which I guess is an improvement!)
11:15 am
jeanne314

But back to the problem at hand: this grid!
11:16 am
uusue2

I was traveling a lot for work a while ago, and used to look up UU groups wherever I went; they were always very interesting people.
11:16 am
jeanne314

THAT is an understatement!
11:16 am
uusue2

Well, I usually go through the grid first finding one word from each tile; right now I have two blank tiles. And don't even talk to me about words longer than 5 letters :-)
11:17 am
jeanne314

We have our share of "nuts" too!!!! Oh, yeah, the grid. . .I'm up to 57 and ready to scream!
11:18 am
uusue2

I'm going for half, then I have to go actually do some productive work...
11:19 am
jeanne314

Oh, exercising some discipline -- ha! Good luck with that!
11:19 am
uusue2

ok, one blank tile.
11:19 am
MollyL

So Sue, you're still (not really) retired?
11:19 am
uusue2

I am, Molly, but I still do freelance work. There is also housework (sigh).

uusue, I'm embarrassed, but after reading your profile I realize we have spoken before! It's been a good while ago, though.
11:23 am
uusue2

OK, now I am embarrassed too :-) Still glad we chatted :-)
