Hope your week is going well flosey and tor! I have been taking it easy in some ways and pushing pretty hard in others.... just learned I will have some more houseguests next month so have to do a bunch more cleaning and organizing in the next few weeks. *sigh* no rest for the wicked! *poof*

12:23 am

flosey

well done ru

12:23 am

flosey

hi Liz

12:23 am

Lizlin

Hi Flosey - hope you had a good day.

12:23 am

rbud

yay, ru! hi all! *continues to plod ever so slowly along* lol

12:25 am

flosey

dental appt took up most of morning including travel time to and from Victoria. other than that, has been a quiet, pleasant day, how about you, Liz

12:26 am

Lizlin

Very good thanks. Spent the morning with 2 breaching humpbacks - lots of photos but haven't checked them out yet because I needed to recharge my camera battery.

12:26 am

flosey

wow, interesting, Liz

12:27 am

Lizlin

We're very lucky - have 20000 humpbacks migrate past here over the course of a season. We're right in the middle of their migratory route and see them swimming in 2 directions.

12:28 am

rururocks

they are beautiful creatures

12:28 am

rururocks

We dove among them in Molokai Crater in Hawaii once

12:29 am

Lizlin

They certainly are - even though we go out most weeks in the season, I don't take them for granted and feel so lucky when we see them.

12:29 am

Lizlin

That must've been an amazing experience, Ru.

12:30 am

flosey

we get occasional sitings around here - sometimes from ferry to Vancouver - captain usually announces them

12:30 am

rururocks

it was .. we were swimming with a baby whale and then mama came along and got in-between us

12:30 am

Lizlin

We saw the orcas from Victoria, Flosey.

12:30 am

rururocks

oh I'd love to see orcas in the wild again

12:30 am

Lizlin

Mama whale is very protective. They calve around here too sometimes - have seen some very young whales.

12:31 am

Lizlin

There are 3 or 4 resident orca pods that swim off Victoria, Ru - next time you go up there you'll have to try to get out to see them.

12:31 am

flosey

great - did see some at terminal while waiting for the ferry once, don't usually see them come in so close to the harbour

12:32 am

Lizlin

Humpbacks are a success story - made a really good recovery after whaling stopped. Their numbers were down in the hundreds.

12:32 am

rururocks

next time I go to BC.. I'm spending a week or so

12:32 am

Lizlin

There's a lot to see there. I love it.

12:33 am

Jadeomoan

FLOSEY!!!

12:50 am

flosey

was getting red boxes again tonight! left and it seems to have cleared

12:50 am

Jadeomoan

Very cool!

12:52 am

flosey

can be annoying when they persist - has been quite a while since having them. Have had to stop for a while until they clear

12:52 am

Jadeomoan

I understand...I get them myself. Usually best to wait it out.

12:53 am

flosey

yes

12:54 am

Jadeomoan

I need three more words for NBT, and then I can go to bed. But it's those last three that get me every time.

12:55 am

flosey

what letters do you need?

12:56 am

Jadeomoan

First row, P, third row A at the bottom, and far right row, M..

12:57 am

cybernan

crashing -- 19 for tomorrow

12:57 am

cybernan

good night everyone

12:57 am

Jadeomoan

NIght, nan!

12:57 am

flosey

good night Nan, 22 to go here, will try to finish tonight

12:58 am

flosey

pe4/6 and 5/14

12:59 am

flosey

those words could actually come from either P, not sure which

12:59 am

flosey

don't have that M yet

12:59 am

Jadeomoan

That's what I got when typing them in....

12:59 am

Jadeomoan

Just monkeyed the A

1:00 am

flosey

wtg

1:11 am

freddie

Why is spam not in dictionary?

1:13 am

flosey

perhaps a new word since Enable was written?

1:14 am

flosey

it is in my Oxford dictionary

1:16 am

flosey

"tinned meat"

1:16 am

mrpresident

it is a brand name I think

1:16 am

freddie

Thanks flossy..

1:16 am

freddie

Thanks flossy..

1:17 am

flosey

yes, I believe so, mrp

1:20 am

freddie

Thanks sorry spelt your name incorrectly flossy word spam in computer usage also

1:20 am

flosey

and hi again, hope this means you'll be around a little more

1:20 am

flosey

no problem freddie - have also been called that way

1:22 am

flosey

in factg, was going to use the name here but someone beat me to it - have never seen her here though

1:23 am

mrpresident

hi flosey :) glad to be back ! Yes I plan on being here around flip time

1:23 am

flosey

good to hear

1:24 am

flosey

you were one of the major players when I joined

1:24 am

mrpresident

Yes, was right into developing the game

1:25 am

mrpresident

Dr God was good to let lickety make such good changes too

1:25 am

flosey

thought so

1:26 am

flosey

and bless him, Lickety still gives us the clues

1:27 am

flosey

I'm really lost without his clues

1:27 am

mrpresident

yes he does... is part of the game for so many now.
BJ used to do the clues and he would put a rudamentary list up, compared too lickety...

1:27 am

freddie

Must join as well... Thanks again Flosey

1:27 am

mrpresident

and BJ would also put the list up HOURS! after flip... didn't suit me at all! LOL!!

1:28 am

flosey

BJ (fellow from Ontario I believe?) he was just in for a while after I came

1:31 am

mrpresident

it was a big change, but done very slowly over time.
Some babblers prefer to play without lickety, indeed without a list!

1:31 am

mrpresident

But majority rely on it as we found most players asked for the program

1:32 am

flosey

I'd be lost without the list - in fact, would likely give up

1:33 am

mrpresident

Dr God was so good to me!
He gave me fireworks! and now we all enjoy it!

1:33 am

flosey

ah yes, most players call it out when they complete the grid

1:34 am

mrpresident

I remember saying (on the first grid I finished)... "what?? no fireworks!?... I want fireworks or something grand!"
And he programed the fireworks to go off at the end! LOL it was brilliant

1:34 am

mrpresident

I cried :))

1:35 am

flosey

and now everyone finishing enjoys them

1:36 am

flosey

how are your children, mrp, they must be getting on??

1:36 am

mrpresident

Yep, still love seeing them go off!
Is funny to be monkeying like an idiot and then see the screen go pop!!

1:38 am

mrpresident

it allows SP6 but not pedo

1:40 am

mrpresident

my kids are huges! I look up to them now!

1:41 am

mrpresident

Luke is 6 foot 5 now,, and maddi is just a little taller... I am now the shrimp in the family at 5 foot 11 LOL

1:44 am

flosey

wow, tall family! I was considered tall at 5' 9"!! and hated towering over most of my friends

1:45 am

mrpresident

yes, but as we grew up together, and became adults, they could wear high heals !

1:47 am

mrpresident

do you get asked to reach for things in the supermarket??

1:48 am

flosey

once in a while, not often - but I have shrunk - haven't measured recently but perhaps lost a couple of inches

1:48 am

mrpresident

I have completely been ignorning that F in the first column... and it has caught me out

1:48 am

flosey

when I was tall, I did wear 4" heels - hate to see these super high heels that are worn today

1:49 am

mrpresident

the heels now are dangerous!

1:49 am

flosey

not difficult words, mrp

1:50 am

flosey

yes and so slim

1:50 am

mrpresident

I can wear a high heel wedge

1:50 am

mrpresident

it is a balancing act but safer option :)

1:50 am

flosey

that's a little more support

1:51 am

flosey

I wore high heels once since coming on this island - never again

1:51 am

flosey

flats and slacks mostly - had to buy a dress to attend a wedding last summer

1:52 am

mrpresident

ah comfort... I agree

1:52 am

flosey

and got away with flat sandals

1:54 am

mrpresident

this grid needs an R

1:57 am

mrpresident

brb x

1:57 am

flosey

I'm down to 10 but eyes are drooping, will have to finish tomorrow

1:59 am

flosey

g'night all

3:13 am

mrpresident

4:04 am

sprite

good morning all

4:08 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and good morning dearest sprite. are you still floating or have you settled gently back on earth?

4:09 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Good evening dear friend. No, I have landed 2 days ago, with a crash, lol. Was truly down yesterday. All part of the game, right? Feeling better today.

4:09 am

sprite

how was your day?

4:10 am

grannyrose

my poor sweetie. * gentle hugs* then

4:10 am

grannyrose

as predicted it was very cold. we both spent most of the day in front of the heater.

4:10 am

mrpresident

thanks lind :)

4:10 am

sprite

did it freeze?

4:11 am

mrpresident

just popped back to say hi and bye! off to dinner. see you all later
(((rose)))

4:11 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} mrp. how are you doing tonight?

4:11 am

sprite

bye mrp

4:11 am

grannyrose

not quite sprite. at least not near our home. but up in the mountains it snowed +++++

4:11 am

mrpresident

is bloody freezing here... bbs, grabbing dinner with a friend ;)

4:12 am

sprite

*giggles* I love the aussie definition of very cold!

4:13 am

sprite

Liz's email about aussie winter was hilarious

4:13 am

grannyrose

i know, honey. but one gets used to feeling warmth in the sunshine.

4:13 am

grannyrose

wasn't it?? i was giggling like crazy.

4:14 am

sprite

yeah of course, rose. The difference in temps is what makes us feel it so badly. It is the same here, actually. After days of 30+, even 18C feels cold.

4:14 am

grannyrose

too true, sprite.

4:18 am

grannyrose

oh sprite don had me in stitches today. we were discussing how lovely the fruit is at the moment.

4:18 am

grannyrose

and then don told me quite seriously, that the other day he found a mandy mouldarine in the fridge.

4:19 am

sprite

roflololllllll

4:19 am

grannyrose

i just stared, then realised what he meant

4:20 am

sprite

hilarious! And you asked him, how did he know mandy? From rhuby rotbarb?

4:20 am

grannyrose

and the later, he had been putting the wet washing through the drier. he came back with a glass of iced coffee in his hand.

4:21 am

grannyrose

he said, i found this in the laundry. i left it there to warm up. i collapsed.

4:21 am

sprite

lollllll he is so funny :D

4:22 am

sprite

phantom: idiot. Not necessarily inspired by Don.

4:23 am

grannyrose

* giggle * i know. i wanted it so badly. i stared at the screen for nearly two minutes before conceding that it wasn't there. so who's the idiot??

4:23 am

grannyrose

i also wanted idiom

4:23 am

sprite

guess we both are. I typed it in 3 times, so certain I was that I had typoed.

4:23 am

sprite

tr5 that too

4:24 am

sprite

tried. No R in the grid. Right.

4:26 am

grannyrose

ummmm no r's in grid.... make that no r tile in the grid. * eye roll *

4:26 am

sprite

yeah. Because there IS an R in grid. Lol, like that funny littly picture of the i in team!

4:27 am

grannyrose

exactly... loll

4:28 am

sprite

*giggles* Or this one: "There is no i in team. But there is a U in suck."

4:28 am

grannyrose

did you ever hear the joke about the elephant and a safeway ( big supermarket ) bag?

4:29 am

sprite

no?

4:29 am

grannyrose

how do you get an elephant in a safeway bag?

4:29 am

sprite

um.... no idea

4:29 am

grannyrose

you take the f out of safe, and the f out of way.

4:30 am

grannyrose

be careful how you type your answer

4:30 am

sprite

guess I am being very dumb. I don't get it.

4:31 am

gemini_J13

there is no effing way

4:31 am

grannyrose

there's no effin' ( f in ) way

4:31 am

sprite

ohhhh right! Lol!

4:31 am

gemini_J13

:)

4:31 am

grannyrose

g'day gemini. lolll

4:31 am

sprite

hi gemini

4:31 am

gemini_J13

hi you two

4:32 am

gemini_J13

you made me laugh!

4:32 am

grannyrose

good. my job here is done

4:33 am

sprite

in dutch, an elephant is een olifant... and oli sounds the same as olie, which is oil. So in dutch, the joke is how do you get an elephant into a fridge? Drain the oil, fold up the fant, put it in the fridge.

4:33 am

sprite

and then it continues: How do you put a pinguin in a fridge?

4:35 am

Marc Freeman

what are the stats for the 'p' in the first column please?

4:35 am

sprite

pe6/27 Marc, and hi

4:36 am

sprite

come on rose, guess :D

4:36 am

grannyrose

open the door?

4:37 am

sprite

open the fridge, take out the fant, put in the penguin, close the door

4:37 am

grannyrose

oh, okay. lollll

4:37 am

grannyrose

i forgot the fant....

4:38 am

sprite

now picture a huge jungle... and the king of the jungle is celebrating his birthday. All animals from all over the world are invited and they have all come... except one. Which animal is missing?

4:38 am

grannyrose

the penguin?

4:38 am

Marc Freeman

Thanks sprite

4:38 am

gemini_J13

the penquin? he is in the fridge?

4:38 am

sprite

yvw Marc

4:39 am

sprite

gooood gemini! Yes, the penguin

4:39 am

grannyrose

yay gemini. i wish i ha said that. ;-P

4:40 am

gemini_J13

:)

4:41 am

sprite

and by now the elephant has regained his health and wants to party with the king of the jungle. But to get to the party, he has to cross a lake filled with extremely dangerous crocodiles. What does he do?

4:43 am

gemini_J13

ride the ferry?

4:43 am

sprite

nah, he just crosses it swimming. All crocodiles are already at the party.

4:43 am

gemini_J13

you got me

4:43 am

grannyrose

*giggle*

4:44 am

sprite

*grins* Always a fun one at a party, this.

4:45 am

Buggie

How can a lake be "filled with crocodiles", if there aren't any in the lake?

4:47 am

grannyrose

dinner ready. xoxox to you all. sprite, i hope you have a lovely day.

4:48 am

sprite

hiya Buggie. Well, in the mind of the elephant, he always has to crossy a crocodile-filled lake to get to the lion... so that is his mindset

4:49 am

Buggie

Heya :) Yes, but it's the 3rd person, the omniscient narrator. So if you say it's filled with crocodiles, then they have to be there :P

4:49 am

sprite

lol, a babble typo. Crossy for cross, lol

4:50 am

Buggie

Maybe saying a lake "known to be filled with crocodiles"?

4:50 am

sprite

yeah... or something like the elephant always has to cross a crocodile-infested lake...

4:51 am

Buggie

I'm picky about details like that :)

4:52 am

sprite

nothing wrong with that

4:56 am

sprite

brb, potty break

5:03 am

sprite

back

5:06 am

grannyrose

back. cooee

5:06 am

sprite

hiya rose :) How was dinner?

5:07 am

sprite

fireflies

5:07 am

grannyrose

hmmm, yummy. steak with mushroom gravy, and three vegs.

5:08 am

sprite

sounds delish.

5:09 am

sprite

A big *hug* to rose, and sleep well, darling. And to you all, a blessed day and a peaceful night.

5:09 am

grannyrose

WTG SPRITE!!!! xoxox and extra hugs, sprite

5:37 am

rubyfoo

mo5/12 cash

5:37 am

sukee

But that one comes from the middle M

5:37 am

sukee

I have that.

5:37 am

rubyfoo

5:38 am

5:40 am

sukee

Sorry to hear that.

5:40 am

rubyfoo

nope

5:41 am

sukee

Spam should definitely be accepted.

5:43 am

crosshair

Usually if they make you wait with cancer, it is not that serous. When it is a big deal they rush you through. With my first cancer, I went from original diagnosis to operating table before the week was out. Having to wait can be a hopeful thing. My oncologist always said "when i make you wait, it means I am doing triage rules, and being dead last is a good thing in that case."

5:43 am

rubyfoo

Thank you, Crossy, I am sure that you are helping me through this.

5:44 am

crosshair

Doing my best, although my beloved says I am often shy on tact and sensitivity;)

5:44 am

rubyfoo

I think you are wwonderful!

5:45 am

sukee

Well, you ARE male :) Just kidding.

5:45 am

crosshair

But I was always one to attack cancer head on, to kick its ass and carry on. it is how I dealt with it all.

5:45 am

sukee

Lol, found the P I needed... obvious :) nbt.

5:46 am

rubyfoo

That's how I was the first time, but I was blindsided by this one

5:46 am

rubyfoo

hint for the p, pls, sukee

5:46 am

sukee

It was the passed tense of the pe 4/6

5:46 am

sukee

past tense that is

5:47 am

sukee

When you take a furtive look at something.

5:47 am

crosshair

That is how it happens, right when you least expect anything to happen. it was that way with my 2nd. Right out of the blue and whammo! chemo for the better part of a year.

5:47 am

rubyfoo

aaah, found it duh me

5:47 am

sukee

Exactly how I felt when I found it :)

5:47 am

crosshair

at least with my first, I knew something was going on.

5:48 am

rubyfoo

It would be a little easier if I felt better and could deal with husband's deterioration with more energy

5:48 am

rubyfoo

I'm getting things organized, but it's very difficult

5:48 am

crosshair

yes, that is a heavy burden for you at this time

5:48 am

sukee

I didn't think anything when I had breast cancer, but my mother said she had noticed I was getting sick a lot.

5:48 am

crosshair

Mothers always know.

5:49 am

sukee

It was definitely a surprise, even after they found a lump I just thought it was scar tissue from a breast reduction and was shocked when they said cancer.

5:50 am

crosshair

I though my first cancer was a leftover issue from getting fixed.

5:54 am

sukee

Well, time for me to go get ready to go out. Take care all and good luck.

5:54 am

rubyfoo

time to warm up on those pedals

5:54 am

rubyfoo

See you later, kids

5:58 am

crosshair

6:55 am

JesDreher

I'm struggling with se6. help please.

6:56 am

Trifioso

gotta be honest - not so much enthusiasm for work today....the boy I am tutoring and I are reading To Kill a Mockingbird, which I ADORE, but a) his mother insists on sitting in the room the entire time I tutor and b) the student needs me to read it aloud.

6:56 am

Trifioso

I have a se6.24, is that the one?

6:57 am

hurshy

big water bottle needed

6:57 am

JesDreher

Yes, Trifioso. It's eluding me.

6:57 am

MLFAN17

to kill a mocking bird is such a great story

6:57 am

Trifioso

its more the language of the book, hurshy...I have taken to substituting "the n word" when I read, which is probably pretty lame

6:58 am

hurshy

ah

6:58 am

Trifioso

I am abysmal at cluing, jes, but I will try my best- leaked slowly, past tense

6:58 am

MLFAN17

trif its from that time period kind of cant avoid it

6:58 am

JesDreher

d'oh... not sure how I missed that. Thanks

6:58 am

hurshy

you could pick another word and tell him, "when i say this, it means this" like "homie"

6:58 am

Trifioso

but there are smaller brothers and sisters running about as well, and I get embarrassed

6:59 am

MLFAN17

6:59 am

MLFAN17

6:59 am

bichon

hint for the se 6, pls

6:59 am

JesDreher

7:00 am

MLFAN17

7:13 am

hurshy

i like the game, i hate the host

7:13 am

Trifioso

I about split a gut laughing - the final question was "This is a famous Jewish hymn, a famous Christian hymn, and is now a famous Broadway musical." The answer was "Rock of Ages" but the champ wrote "Kinky Boots"

7:14 am

hurshy

oh yeah i heard that someone wrote that

7:14 am

bichon

No one really is crazy about Alex, but he does his job well

7:14 am

Trifioso

he later admitted that in the moment that the name of every single broadway musical ever flew from his head, and that is the ONLY one he could think of. I was ROLLING

7:14 am

hurshy

if you call being smug, condescending, and occasionally a jerk to the kid contestants doing your job well

7:15 am

Trifioso

just the image - in synagogues and parishes world wide... a staid worship leader, calling the congregation to stand and sing "kinky boots"

7:16 am

hurshy

so but, rock of ages is three different things by the same name, right?

7:16 am

Trifioso

yes hurshy

7:16 am

hurshy

like how mitten is a hand warmer but also my cat

7:17 am

hurshy

He wanted a book about sports, which I NEVER have. I wasn't even sure where the sports section was...and then it became obvious - I went to the part of the store I had never, ever been to before, and voila - sports!

one of the benefits of belonging to the teachers' union in Massachusetts is that we get an educators discount of 25% at all times.

7:24 am

Trifioso

EASILY the benefit I use most

7:25 am

crosshair

sadly, I get no discount and new softcovers are running about 14 dollars, so it is the used book stores for me.

7:25 am

crosshair

14 + tax that is

7:26 am

Trifioso

I am quite good at the library

Last I read Ru you were happy with sale of your house. Have you found a new one yet that you'd like?

12:48 pm

mymuseisme

Enjoying my day off Jes and you?

12:49 pm

mymuseisme

my phantom is seldom

12:50 pm

mymuseisme

ooooh I'm in the grid -- :)

12:50 pm

jesdraggon

also having a day off - it's nice!

12:51 pm

rururocks

no.. haven't found one yet Mymuse

12:51 pm

rururocks

There's one that will be coming on the market that my agent says has what I want

12:51 pm

mymuseisme

Skies are still overcast here, raining off and on -- not my weather for walking.

12:52 pm

rururocks

seldom is a great phantom in this grid

12:52 pm

rururocks

so is female

12:53 pm

mymuseisme

yep that one too! Well it's good that the agent is narrowing down options to what you want. I have never owned a house, though it used to be one of my dreams.

12:53 pm

rururocks

yes.. after rejecting about 40 houses he's shown me

12:54 pm

rururocks

i'm finally in a position in life to downsize and have what I want

12:54 pm

stidmama

hey all, just sitting for a few minutes... any help for the M on the far right? it's my last blank.

12:54 pm

mymuseisme

Hmmm … not sure if that is waste of time or if that helps you realize what you want.

12:54 pm

mymuseisme

STIDDY! How are you?

12:54 pm

stidmama

Good for you, ruru -- stand firm! I compromised a bit on the house when it was being built (but we had a major time crunch), and wish I had been more assertive on a few things.

12:54 pm

stidmama

I am well muse -- you?

12:55 pm

stidmama

idiot is a major phantom for me today. Must have tried it at least twenty times since flip...

12:56 pm

mymuseisme

Doing well also. Glad you are in your own place now. Did you enjoy the grade you taught this year?

12:56 pm

mymuseisme

sorry Stid - don't have yet

12:57 pm

jesdraggon

morning, stid :)

12:58 pm

stidmama

Really enjoyed third grade, glad I get a chance to try it again this coming year. I had an opportunity to stay in my new district but apply for the same sort of position I had at the last district, but decided to stay in one place for a while. I loved middle school... but I also enjoy the younger children. And it's nice to be where I am actually "wanted" for a change.

12:58 pm

stidmama

good morning miss day off ;-)

1:00 pm

rururocks

Not really a waste of time seeing what you get for what i am willing to spend

1:00 pm

stidmama

I like the baby raccoon pic. :-)

1:00 pm

mymuseisme

That's awesome Stid! I loved most of the grades though each had its challenges with curriculum and behaviors.

1:01 pm

bichon

Granddaughters both starting third grad. One was in Catholic school and now going to public. The other is in a Montessori school

1:01 pm

jesdraggon

Thanks; they've gotten bigger now, moved to the outside pens, and about 4 pounds each.

1:01 pm

stidmama

Exactly, muse -- the key for me is to remember that the kids who act out the most need the most love. Not "sweetness and light" love, but clear limits and many celebrations of who they are. Seems to work with most kids. :-D

1:01 pm

jesdraggon

Still cute though!

1:01 pm

mymuseisme

And I found I learned so much from the children themselves.

1:02 pm

stidmama

Exactly, muse! For example, did you know that goats make good playmates? One of my kiddos had goats this past year.

1:03 pm

stidmama

It will be interesting for your grands bichon -- third grade is such a great time because all of a sudden the brain expands and you start to notice things and have questions you never did before.

1:03 pm

jesdraggon

I love goats. Have a 7 week old right now that needed surgery on her leg. She's a crackup.

1:03 pm

mymuseisme

Chuckling … that's awesome! Hard to keep a goat in an apartment ;)

1:04 pm

stidmama

LOL poor thing -- hope she'll recover, jes?

1:04 pm

jesdraggon

she's mostly housebroken, mymuse

1:04 pm

stidmama

I like goats, but I don't like how they smell. I can always tell a kid who lives with goats...

1:04 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, surgery was over a month ago now, she's running around like a little terror

1:05 pm

jesdraggon

you in the market for a dog yet, stid?

1:05 pm

stidmama

good for her, jes!

1:05 pm

mymuseisme

Jes! That's amazing what you are doing. Love animals but city would not let me foster those.

1:05 pm

stidmama

oh oh timetogowillyoulookatthe clock....

1:05 pm

stidmama

dog?

1:06 pm

stidmama

what are you looking at?

1:06 pm

jesdraggon

30#, 9 year old, neutered boston terrier

1:06 pm

stidmama

And yes, I am getting there. But with no fence still (have to spend any yard money that is left on taking down some trees...) I _ boston terrier? *faint*

1:07 pm

stidmama

aren't those the yippy, mean ankle-biter types?

1:07 pm

jesdraggon

no, they're the blocky, flat-faced (but not as smashed as pugs) black ones with the white collar

1:08 pm

stidmama

oh, I was thinking of a different terrier. Bostons are pretty. 9 seems a bit old for a terrier, though. *thinking*

1:08 pm

stidmama

what are his issues?

1:08 pm

jesdraggon

http://www.animalplanet.com/breed-sele\nctor/dog-breeds/non-sporting/boston-te\nrrier.html

1:09 pm

jesdraggon

removed some dermal masses, all came back as benign. Released because of money issues.

1:10 pm

stidmama

I would have to be away at school an awful lot, jes. Would he be okay left alone all day -- sometimes (but rarely) 12 or 14 hours?

1:11 pm

stidmama

Let me think about this. The other day Murphy (mother's dog) found some scraps of fabric that had Lucky hairs still on them (a box that had been in the storage locker). He grabbed them and wouldn't let go. When I visited yesterday he brought me the scraps and wanted to share them with me. He still mourns. :-(

1:12 pm

jesdraggon

awww, that's sweet and sad both - does he have any other dogs to play with?

1:13 pm

stidmama

He plays with some when he goes on walks, but no he doesn't currently have any "cousins" or friends who visit.

1:13 pm

jesdraggon

I think he would be okay, but honestly have not left him alone in my house. he came from an apartment with multiple kids.

1:13 pm

jesdraggon

and the prior owner didn't say anything about being destructive

1:13 pm

stidmama

Well, that's something anyway! *mental note: good with kids*

1:13 pm

stidmama

I'll talk to Tom. How much in arrears is the owner?

1:13 pm

stidmama

meaning -- if I could offset the cost could he go home?

1:14 pm

jesdraggon

oh, she didn't pay anything, said she had no money, and released him straight out. he's had other health issues in the past (ear infections, diarrhea/vomiting) that she declined to bring him in for because of money.

1:15 pm

jesdraggon

she doesn't actually owe anything, but clearly can't afford to have a dog.

1:15 pm

jesdraggon

I did offer to do a matching funds thing, but she said she couldn't pay any at all.

1:16 pm

stidmama

I see. That's too bad. Okay, no dietary issues (that would be a new one for us!) so food wouldn't be as expensive, but an older dog so possibly more health care costs. Let me talk with Tom. I really do want a critter again. And I would love to have an excuse to drive out your way again. The only time I really turn off my teaching brain is when I am driving. I could use the break!

1:17 pm

jesdraggon

actually, I'll be over in Skagit for a week the end of this month, so could make a much shorter trip for you to meet him.

1:18 pm

jesdraggon

Or you could come all the way over and visit, that'd be fine too :)

1:19 pm

stidmama

Okay, let me talk with Tom. It's my rehearsal night, so won't see him until quite late.

1:20 pm

jesdraggon

no rush, and no pressure - if it's not the right time, i'm sure i'll have another in a while :)

1:22 pm

mymuseisme

will pop in later .. have a great day everyone :)

1:22 pm

stidmama

((((muse)))) have a wonderful day/week!

1:22 pm

jesdraggon

bye, mymuse

1:23 pm

stidmama

And I really should go for a bit anyway -- need to practice one more time (one of the pieces is really hard for me) and pack my sticks and music for tonight. I'll be back in about half an hour. :-) thanks, jes for the info! *temporary poof*

1:25 pm

jesdraggon

have fun, stid!

2:00 pm

jesdraggon
