12:45 am

Lizlin

It goes round in a circle in the grid. Often contains candied fruit

12:45 am

Lizlin

Italian, I think

12:46 am

Lizlin

Maybe it's called something else in the US

12:47 am

cybernan

thought italian ice cream is called gelato

12:48 am

Lizlin

I don't have the melon, though.

12:59 am

cybernan

I've never heard of nor seen one ruru

1:00 am

rururocks

begins with Spanish house and ends with most of the worst rock group in history

1:00 am

negativeneil

Haha. You've got that right, ru!

1:01 am

cybernan

that gave me the 1st half but never have liked nor listened to rock music

1:01 am

cybernan

monkeyed it -- a new one for me

1:01 am

negativeneil

Don't think they'd fall into the 'rock' category though, would they? More like 'schmaltz'. :P

1:01 am

rururocks

more luck smutz

1:02 am

negativeneil

or 'elevator music' in other words.

1:02 am

cybernan

ty ruru

1:02 am

negativeneil

Yep... that too.

1:02 am

rururocks

it's a delicious melon nan.. very sweet

1:02 am

rururocks

oh.. god imagine being stuck in an elevator with that crap on

1:02 am

cybernan

don't knock elevator music, neil --- some day that will be the only music you know the words to

1:02 am

rururocks

ROFL nan

1:03 am

LOLOLOLOL

1:03 am

negativeneil

1:03 am

negativeneil

That day will never be, cybernan. Not to worry!

1:03 am

rururocks

Oh.. I wish I was around when Neil is old

1:03 am

cybernan

oh the optimism of the young!

1:04 am

rururocks

absolutely nan

1:04 am

negativeneil

Nope. I just have musical taste:

(\nlist of favorite music there)

1:04 am

rururocks

Hire a 30 year old.. while they still know it all :D

1:05 am

cybernan

same here ruru -- like most young people he has no concept of what happens when you age

1:05 am

negativeneil

Where did that "\n" come from?

1:05 am

rururocks

he will.. then he will be enlightened later in life

1:05 am

negativeneil

Still? I know a fraction of "it all".

1:05 am

cybernan

as for me -- I have a very difficult time hearing any music at all in most of the so-called songs that are being produced now

1:06 am

negativeneil

Whaaaatever. :P

1:06 am

rururocks

oh sure.. you're wise in many ways.. but ...

1:06 am

negativeneil

Oook, nan. You'd probably hate everything I listen to then. :P

1:06 am

rururocks

most of the songs today are trash.

1:06 am

negativeneil

Even though I have awesome taste in music. ;)

1:07 am

rururocks

(if he doesn't say so himself)

1:07 am

cybernan

the only new singers I come close to liking are the Frank Sinatra wannabes

1:08 am

negativeneil

Hey. List for yourself:
http://bit.ly/JoWjPM

1:08 am

negativeneil

Huh. Oook... at least ru will disagree with that. ;)

1:08 am

negativeneil

aaand I'm saying NOTHING. :P Haha.

1:09 am

rururocks

I like some of the Sinatra stuff.. he had a lot of talent

1:10 am

rururocks

I trend more toward the blues and jazz as a rule.. pop stuff doesn't do much for me

1:11 am

negativeneil

I like Frank Sinatra too.

1:11 am

rururocks

I like the early stones, the beatles, Joe Cocker, Toad the Wet sprocket, Jennifer Hudson, Aretha, Al Green, Bonnie Riatt, Jonny Lang.. etc

1:11 am

cybernan

blues and jazz were once considered pop as well ... as was Beethoven in his day

1:12 am

rururocks

I don't like all of Sinatra's stuff.. but he really had a lot of talent and a great voice

1:12 am

negativeneil

I just meant that you would disagree with "the only new singers I come close to liking are the Frank Sinatra wannabes", ru.

1:12 am

rururocks

oh

1:12 am

negativeneil

Yeah. I can listen to him any day.

1:13 am

rururocks

sure

1:13 am

cybernan

you didn't like Dean and his gold diggers, ru?

1:13 am

rururocks

Michael Bubbli is boring as hell

1:13 am

negativeneil

Pretty much.

1:13 am

negativeneil

BubblÃ©, isn't it?

1:13 am

rururocks

Bono is even more boring

1:14 am

rururocks

Bubble -gum I think isn't it?

1:14 am

negativeneil

U2 have some good songs though.

1:14 am

rururocks

they do

1:14 am

rururocks

and they were impressive at the super bowl

1:14 am

rururocks

Bono is a freak though

1:15 am

cybernan

I tried to listen to u2 once -- too noisy and no melody

1:15 am

rururocks

I like a couple of their songs

1:15 am

negativeneil

Yeah. Well I've always like them... their older stuff mostly, which my parents had in their collections.

1:16 am

negativeneil

Haha @ "Bubble -gum I think isn't it?" :D

1:16 am

rururocks

their guitarist is really excellent

1:17 am

rururocks

I just saw Jonny lang in concert.. he was amazing

1:17 am

cybernan

yes, wel it was one of my kids' u2 tapes that I tried to listen to

1:17 am

negativeneil

http://bit.ly/1cWi1ag

1:18 am

rururocks

oh.. I really don't know the names of the songs I like nan.. i'll try to find them on you tube sometime

1:19 am

rururocks

I'd love to be a jugadore :D

1:20 am

negativeneil

Ohh god. -_- *rolls eyes*

1:20 am

rururocks

1:20 am

rururocks

1:22 am

1:22 am

rururocks

1:22 am

negativeneil

Uhhh, ru? Check your email... unless you have pretty recently already? Haha.

1:23 am

rururocks

a while ago.. it was very funny

1:24 am

negativeneil

yeah. I'm trying to think of a suitably smart-assed response to that one. :P

1:25 am

rururocks

you'll come up with something.

1:25 am

rururocks

I'm heading to bed.. good to see you. take care

1:25 am

cybernan

night ru -- i'm off as well - good night everyone

1:26 am

I am wearing my short yoga pants to go exercise today :)

5:29 am

sukee

Hi crossy.

5:29 am

sukee

Finally :)

5:32 am

crosshair

Just had a interesting read on setting up barrels to collect and filter rain water for home consumption. Too bad that the powers that be in California have made it illegal in places to collect rain water on your own property, because homeowners out there could go back to old catchment systems like these barrels and cisterns.

5:33 am

crosshair

I see they have changed the neighborhood beautification by-laws out there so you are not charged if you lawn dies.

5:33 am

sukee

Maybe officials will make an exception during the drought?

5:33 am

crosshair

No, it seems the rule was put in place BECAUSE of the drought

5:34 am

sukee

Insane, no one owns the rain.

5:34 am

crosshair

They want the rainwater to go to ground and not be diverted

5:34 am

crosshair

it is odd indeed, but google it. I would challange that one

5:35 am

crosshair

If I lived out there i would most certainly challenge it.

5:36 am

crosshair

I stand corrected. seems the law is changing minute by minute.

5:37 am

My brother is in Vegas, and all their ware comes mostly from lake Mead. I wonder how it is holding out?

5:39 am

crosshair

water

5:39 am

sukee

I haven't heard much about the drought.

5:40 am

crosshair

the lake is at it lowest ever at 30% capacity:(

5:40 am

crosshair

38*

5:40 am

sukee

appropriate that there is a Star Wars word in the grid today :)

5:40 am

crosshair

I hear the director bowed out

5:41 am

sukee

No... no such thing as climate change.... right...

5:41 am

crosshair

People love playing the fiddle while Rome burns:)

5:41 am

sukee

Interesting, listening to In Flanders Fields in Dutch right now.

5:42 am

crosshair

I had a period where I was fascinated by the Welsh language.

5:43 am

crosshair

I may try and learn it(if there are lessons to be had) once I am done helping out at the school

5:43 am

sukee

So many interesting languages still. My oldest sister taught herself Gaelic.

5:44 am

sukee

Which I think is similar to Welsh, not positive.

5:44 am

crosshair

the celtic group of languages

5:45 am

crosshair

We have a babbler taking courses in it now. Will have to dig for info:)

5:47 am

crosshair

an interesting language: "Iechyd da i chwi yn awr ac yn oesoedd"

5:47 am

sukee

Not to mention some of the place names.

5:48 am

crosshair

Have to love those. need signage 5 feet long

5:50 am

sukee

Okay, I have to go get ready to go out.

5:51 am

sukee

Need half an hour to look presentable :)

5:51 am

crosshair

Have a good day, sukee.

5:51 am

crosshair

I need more than that:)

5:51 am

sukee

You too. Take care.

5:55 am

7:17 am

grannyrose

nearly my bedtime, dear. but i had a visit to my vocational guidance counsellor. as i asked him...just what do you expect a critical care nurse to do when she is no longer employed in that capacity?

7:18 am

Aloyisius

oh my, with your skills.. there must be a need.. what was the reply?

7:19 am

grannyrose

aloy... i need to have done 20+ hours of education to maintain my education. which has been impossible. one suggestion was a filing clerk... for heaven's sake !!

7:20 am

grannyrose

sorry.. to maintain my registration.

7:21 am

Aloyisius

no.. that underutilizes your expertise.. can you take courses on line?

7:22 am

grannyrose

aloy, i have 22 months until i can retire on the old-age pension. right now, my fibromyalgia is still uncontrolled, and the nerve pain in my knee is appalling.

7:24 am

grannyrose

i really don't where this company is coming from. if they had stepped in and helped me 8 months ago i would still be employed.

7:24 am

Aloyisius

I'm so sorry you are going through this! I only know one person with fibromyalgia.. she is in her 40's.. for her, she has flare ups, but then long periods of feeling ok..

7:26 am

grannyrose

aloy, i have never had time off from work because of the FM. this time however, the pain from the damaged nerve in my knee is not allowing the FM to die down.

7:26 am

Aloyisius

rats.. does it keep you up at night?

7:27 am

Marc Freeman

Wow. Had to wrack brain for Disney movie. Got it though.

9:44 am

Mickey's been out of the spotlight for a while. Not aging gracefully I suspect.

9:45 am

I hear all those old, out of work Disney characters are hitting the bottle pretty hard. Sad.

Living in the back lot trailers, like common vermin.

Poor Pluto. After years of therapy, he still hasn't figured out whether he is a dog, or a man that looks like a dog.

9:47 am

Judi

Rumor has it that he's a hermaphrodog.

9:54 am

Judi

What? No groans?

9:54 am

josephjames

Well hermaphro- is between genders. Crossing species, you get a chimera...

9:55 am

However, I think Pluto is clearly a dog. It's Goofy that's the confused one.

I think the rescue group has found a home for my two fosters

1:05 pm

MollyL

Oh here we go. Same song, different verse. *Sigh*

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

that's good news; they sounded difficult

1:05 pm

bichon

That's why I use flea and tick application

1:05 pm

rubyfoo

Hello Molly. Which song is that?

1:05 pm

bichon

They're not difficult, they just aren't housebroken

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

I do, too, so it may have been dead. I couldn't tell, though

1:06 pm

MollyL

The group assault on this board. It's getting so old.

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

I overcame my revulsion to ticks, anything for my Rufe!

1:07 pm

bichon

I worry about Lyme disease in the dogs and us

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

toxoplasmosis here. At least when I get one, I'm not furry and I hold still

1:09 pm

bichon

I thought that was a cat disease

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

I may b e wrong, I thought that my friend's dog got crippled from a tick-borne disease other than Lyme. I've been wrong before (and often)

1:13 pm

bichon

No, it doesn't come from a tick. You should Google it, because it's too disgusting to talk about here

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

I'll look it up later. Thanks
