cooee hello, hello, cartwheels, hip hip hooray!!!! {{hugs}} and good morning my dearest sprite

1:50 am

sprite

hello my dear friend *hugs* How was your day, and how are you?

1:51 am

grannyrose

all good as can be, dear heart. church then home for lunch and then quietly sitting down on the laptop. and you, sweetie?

1:52 am

sprite

still rotten. Sore throat, coughing, cold/hot, shivery and generally yuck. But good news: dinner stayed inside of me yesterday.

1:53 am

sprite

so... phooey is accepted spelling, pfui too, but pfew isn't? Enable, enable, enable... tsk.

1:53 am

grannyrose

well that's a start. you poor darling. are you able to take some soluble paracetamol?

1:54 am

sprite

I don't even think we have that. Just the normal type. I will give it a try after breakfast.

1:55 am

grannyrose

the other way is to crush the tablets up very finely and mix with a little jam or honey.

1:55 am

sprite

ok thanks, will give that a try :)

1:57 am

grannyrose

or there is a liquid paracetamol available too. maybe himself could at least pick you up a bottle of that.

1:59 am

sprite

maybe tomorrow. Today all but the grocery stores are closed. GOod idea to get me a bottle.

2:01 am

grannyrose

of course. i forgot.... duh!!

2:02 am

sprite

*giggles* All good. I have an appt with my gp tomorrow, for bloodwork and some other stuff. will ask her about my virus too, though usually there is nothing to be done but sit out the ride.

2:05 am

grannyrose

sprite we had the grandmother of storms this morning. one lightning bolt actually earthed in our backyard outside our bedroom window, and the resulting thunder clap was inredible. don and i did not i could scoot across the bed so quickly.

2:05 am

grannyrose

*groan* did not know*

2:05 am

sprite

oh that is scary, isn't it! So loud.

2:06 am

Lizlin

Hi and hugs :)

2:06 am

grannyrose

i thought of you, would have loved a heads up that was on the way. i could have climbed into the wardrobe for the night...loll

2:06 am

sprite

hiya Liz! *hugs* for you and for your beloved

2:06 am

Lizlin

Sorry you're not well Sprite - extra well wishing hugs for you.

2:06 am

grannyrose

{{hugs}} and hi lizgirl

2:07 am

sprite

thanks Liz :)

2:07 am

Lizlin

You could send your storms here, Rose - but I guess we're getting into storm season here anyway.

2:08 am

grannyrose

they are on their way up the coast liz. BATTEN DOWN THE HATCHES!!!

2:08 am

Lizlin

Perhaps they'll make it here - probably not, looking at the forecast.

2:09 am

Lizlin

Our guests left yesterday - they were lovely people.

2:09 am

grannyrose

the good news is all the drainage which don has put in coped with the rains. no duck pond outside the kitchen window.

2:09 am

sprite

how nice you had a good time, Liz

2:09 am

sprite

good job, Don!

2:10 am

Lizlin

But they had rubbish weather - pretty dull and low surf - not good for surfing junkies! We laughed a lot over long drawn out dinners - most days they did their own thing.

2:10 am

grannyrose

yeah, and the yabby holes didn't turn into miniature fountains either...loll

2:10 am

sprite

a lot of shared laughter is worth more than good surfing

2:10 am

grannyrose

what sprite said

2:10 am

Lizlin

That's all good Rose - Don did well. We had our gutters cleaned this week for storm season.

2:11 am

Lizlin

Hmmm! Yes, i think so - they enjoyed themselves but I think that he, in particular was looking forward to surfing here. In the UK he'd even played a virtual game set on one of our surf beaches.

2:12 am

Lizlin

Or perhaps he'd just virtually surfed the beach :)

2:12 am

Trifioso

hello dear friends - can't sleep, so I thought I would babble for a spell.

2:12 am

sprite

yeah well, if he is that fanatical, he certainly knows you cannot predict the surf. I am sure he enjoyed his stay with you.

2:12 am

grannyrose

btw, the next step in the reno's is to put the new beam into the ceiling, to hold the roof up before we take out 1 1/2 walls to open up the kitchen. don has done some measuring and he is delighted with the *hoped-for* result.

2:13 am

Lizlin

Hi trif

2:13 am

sprite

Hey Triffles... *huggles* Lovely to see you, but am sorry you cannot sleep.

2:13 am

Trifioso

its okay - I will later

2:13 am

Lizlin

Wow! Putting up a new beam - big job I'd've thought.

2:13 am

Trifioso

so lovely to see so many friends!!!

2:13 am

sprite

good news, rose :)

2:13 am

grannyrose

bummer trif. sorry you are sleepless. do you live in seattle?

2:13 am

Lizlin

It's lovely to see you too - though like Sprite said, sorry you're not sleeping.

2:13 am

Lizlin

LOL Rose

2:14 am

Trifioso

lol rose

2:14 am

grannyrose

no, no, trif, i totally empathise with you. at least you can get up and go on-line. me??? i just lie there and watch the ceiling in the dark.

2:15 am

Lizlin

You need an iPad, Rose

2:15 am

sprite

sounds like you need a tv on the ceiling :)

2:16 am

Lizlin

An iPad has night-time lighting - doesn't hurt your eyes in the dark.

2:16 am

grannyrose

i need something. not sure it is an i pad. i do have a tablet.

2:16 am

Trifioso

biting my tongue about laying there watching the ceiling.....

2:16 am

grannyrose

roflollll trif

2:17 am

sprite

where do you think Rose came up with the idea of putting in a new beam?

2:17 am

grannyrose

i could lie there and think of england, but it's not much chop if himself is asleep.

2:18 am

Lizlin

Wake him up then - easy solution.

2:18 am

grannyrose

8laughing so hard*

2:18 am

Trifioso

American is now left pondering the meaning of "not much chop...."

2:19 am

Trifioso

but "putting in a new beam" has taken on a new meaning....lolololol

2:19 am

Lizlin

lolol

2:19 am

grannyrose

chop....aussie slang not much good, poor

2:19 am

Trifioso

ah, thanks rose

2:19 am

Lizlin

UK version would just be "not much cop"

2:19 am

sprite

so Don can chop in his sleep? Ohhhhkayyyy...

2:20 am

Trifioso

I should late night babbler more often! you ladies are a RIOT!

2:20 am

Lizlin

clever :)

2:20 am

Trifioso

do aussies do that cockney rhyming thing too?

2:21 am

grannyrose

so long as it's not chop suey. * moves into spare bedroom*

2:21 am

Lizlin

You'll have to answer that, Rose.

2:21 am

grannyrose

sometimes trif. like ... a bag of fruit/suit. a noah's ark/shark

2:22 am

Lizlin

Oooh! Haven't heard those.

2:22 am

Trifioso

I used to use "up the apples" and "barney rubble" a bit....had forgotten

2:22 am

Lizlin

Those I know.

2:22 am

grannyrose

*grin* nice trif

2:23 am

sprite

could you gals explain all those nice plays on words to this bewildered dutchie?

2:23 am

Lizlin

Rose - tomorrow the US finishes daylight saving (I think), will you let lickety know?

2:23 am

sprite

up the apples = up the ante?

2:23 am

grannyrose

oh, and a pony and cart/fart. that one had my bro's when they were very much younger in stitches for weeks.

2:23 am

Lizlin

Apples and pears - stairs

2:23 am

Trifioso

it already happened, lizlin - about an hour ago

2:23 am

grannyrose

no, sprite, up the apples and pears/stair

2:24 am

Lizlin

Right - but I was thinking of grid time tomorrow.

2:24 am

Lizlin

For me it'll change from 3pm to 4 pm.

2:24 am

grannyrose

have already done so liz.i was just a few hours too early.

2:24 am

Lizlin

Should've said flip time.

2:24 am

sprite

*feeling extremely stupid*

2:24 am

Trifioso

ah. see, this is where the international date line gets me -

2:24 am

Lizlin

You're not stupid, sprite.

2:25 am

lynxxx

I was quite perplexed a few months ago. They started a Saturday food market in a local park down here - called Hank Marvin Food Market - just as the real Hank Marvin was touring. I couldn' t work out why they would name it after him though.

2:25 am

Trifioso

sprite, don't you dare!!! you are extremely smart!

2:25 am

grannyrose

for goodness sake!! stupid is never a word i would associate with you.

2:25 am

lynxxx

Hank Marvin = Starvin'. Hello all

2:25 am

Lizlin

Love it :) Hi Lyn

2:25 am

Trifioso

I had never even heard of the cockney rhyming thing until I met my ex-husband and he told me about it

2:25 am

grannyrose

g'day lyn

2:25 am

sprite

well, you explained the rhyming thing to me and I still don't get it. Equals stupid.

2:26 am

Lizlin

I suppose it might be used a lot in parts of London - but not where I lived. Just the occasional use.

2:26 am

Lizlin

Never stupid.

2:26 am

sprite

hiya lyn :) xxx

2:27 am

Trifioso

NBT ----> thus feeling quite clever, hahaha

2:27 am

sprite

wtg Trif!

2:27 am

Lizlin

You might say "Going to have my barnet cut" meaning a hair cut - Barnet Fair -hair.

2:28 am

sprite

ah right. Funny phenomenon, that. I like it :D

2:28 am

Lizlin

WTG trif - stuck here with 15 left.

2:28 am

Lizlin

Can you adam and eve it? Adam and Eve - believe

2:29 am

sprite

*grins* that is funny

2:29 am

Lizlin

Sometimes hear them on UK crime dramas.

2:29 am

grannyrose

china plate = mate

2:29 am

Trifioso

Im calling shenanigans on enable - once again.

2:30 am

Lizlin

Yes - my old china :)

2:30 am

sprite

lol

2:30 am

Trifioso

I do think it is funny that the cockney rhyme thing keeps the word that DOESN"T rhyme....

2:30 am

Lizlin

More likely - me ol' china

2:31 am

Lizlin

More subtle that way

2:31 am

sprite

it is kind of like an inside joke, isn't it?

2:31 am

Trifioso

keeps yanks in the damn dark, that is for sure

2:31 am

sprite

not just yanks, lol

2:31 am

Lizlin

I guess so. Never really thought about it - just took it for granted. So yes, as an insider, you're probably right.

2:32 am

grannyrose

well y'all have those accents which totally go right over my head. so much so i have athlete's scalp...lolll

2:33 am

Trifioso

my junior year of high school, we had an exchange student from Australia, and when he really got going in aussie slang, it was absolutely a whole different language! "no flaming drango's gonna say it's worth a rat's razoo" and such

2:33 am

Lizlin

lolol!!!

2:33 am

Lizlin

I think Aussies have more words for vomit than any other language.

2:33 am

sprite

oh wow Trif... sounds hilarious! I used to watch Flying Doctors, back in da days... just for the lovely lovely accents.

2:34 am

Trifioso

THERE's a point of national pride for you!!! lololol instead of "smilla's sense of snow" we have "aussie's sense of vomit"

2:34 am

sprite

Liz, I heard the Scots have more words for rain than any other language... because they have so much more rain than others. You think the vomit thing... well...

2:34 am

Lizlin

I'd forgotten that - it's a while since I read that book.

2:34 am

Lizlin

Yes!

2:35 am

Trifioso

I think we americans have a lot of words for money. and boobs.

2:35 am

Lizlin

Certainly judging by our neighbours.

2:35 am

sprite

in dutch, lots of words for money too. And for boobs.

2:35 am

Lizlin

In every country I would think.

2:36 am

Trifioso

I did meet a non-native English speaker from asia, who noted that we have tons of words for mom and dad here....

2:36 am

Trifioso

collectively and singly - parents, folks, in laws, etc

2:37 am

sprite

interesting.

2:37 am

Trifioso

sorry if I am going on and on...I am such a huge word nerd, and find them endlessly interesting

2:37 am

Lizlin

Was involved in a discussion once with Molly about the difference between US and UK - mom and mum - she didn't like the words mum rhymed with.

2:37 am

Lizlin

Have you read Ella Minnow Pea? If you love words, I'd recommend it.

2:38 am

sprite

writing it down, liz

2:38 am

Trifioso

no, thank you for the rec! have noted it

2:38 am

Trifioso

I greatly enjoyed Bill Bryson's book, on how English got the way it did

2:38 am

Lizlin

Author is Mark Dunn

2:39 am

Trifioso

btw, my son thought it was "elementary pee"

2:39 am

Lizlin

Rolin recommended it to me.

2:39 am

Lizlin

LOL!

2:43 am

sprite

someone here recommended 'The glamour of grammar'. Lovely book on english and its peculiarities.

2:43 am

Trifioso

I also can recommend "eats shoots and leaves"

2:43 am

sprite

it is by Roy Peter Clark

2:45 am

Lizlin

I know that one.

2:45 am

Lizlin

I love what I've read by Bill Bryson - admittedly not much.

2:45 am

Trifioso

I agree lizlin - I really have come to adore his work

2:46 am

Lizlin

Did you see A Walk in the Park

2:46 am

Trifioso

not yet - it was out here for about a second.

2:46 am

Lizlin

Woods I mean! Lovely movie.

2:46 am

Trifioso

casting was genius

2:46 am

Lizlin

A walk in the Park was a great kid's picture book.

2:47 am

Lizlin

Yes, great casting. They were so good together.

2:48 am

Lizlin

Ooops - wrong apostrophe! Lots of kids - kids'

2:51 am

Trifioso

Im going to try to sleep some. thank you all SO MUCH for the company!!!! how I love the chog

2:51 am

Lizlin

2:51 am

sprite

2:52 am

Lizlin

Have a good day Sprite - hope you feel much better very soon. Hugs.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

Yesterday was a great day! Burt got a place at the best nursing home/assisted living facility, in Annecy.

4:48 am

rubyfoo

It is called Residence Adelaide and has a webssite

4:48 am

rubyfoo

They are transferring him on Wed. and are taking care of the move WITHOUT MY HELP

4:48 am

Anniebrook

That is great news. It must be a great relief

4:49 am

rubyfoo

It is very expensive, but, at this point, I don't care and if it's luxurious (as people say), he deserves it.

4:50 am

rubyfoo

Also, it is in "downtown" Annecy, so I'll be able to go there more often and even eat with him in the restaurant.

4:50 am

Anniebrook

Yes, he does and so do you knowing Burt is in a very good place and will be taken care of.

4:51 am

rubyfoo

They have a small Alzheimer's section and even accommodate couples

4:52 am

Anniebrook

Some of the assisted living places in the States are very good too. I am so glad you found this place.

4:52 am

rubyfoo

The local gov't did it for me. Their care is amazing.

4:53 am

Anniebrook

Then you are lucky to be where you are. Burt is getting the best care.

4:53 am

Anniebrook

Now you concentrate on Ruby.

4:54 am

rubyfoo

From what my friends here say, it is unusual for them to be so nice

4:55 am

Anniebrook

You charmed them. I mean it.

4:55 am

rubyfoo

I am really lucky to have wound up here

4:56 am

rubyfoo

They are even trying to get me into the health care system as I have no insurance

4:56 am

aebmusica

Then, I agree, you are lucky.

4:56 am

10:34 am

zoozzoom

I see myself as British rather than english. But that is just my opinion.

10:35 am

Judi

I think that makes you Bringlish, Zooz.

10:35 am

cybernan

that's ok -- the scots don't like to be called british either

10:36 am

MollyL

Oh, I want to hear from one who lives there, what is the difference between British and English?

10:37 am

rururocks

I never said Canadians were americans?

10:37 am

MollyL

Sadly, the Scots don't "not like it" enough to have forged their independence.

10:37 am

cybernan

just drawing the parallel, ru

10:38 am

rururocks

not really a great parallel though nan

10:38 am

Judi

Well, Canadians and Americans are all technically North Americans. And we're all Yankees.

10:38 am

rururocks

unless you guys want to pay for our health care too :D

10:38 am

mattygroves

OK, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales are four distinct countries. Great Britain is a catch all term for them all, and the UK is the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

10:38 am

zoozzoom

Well, Molly. for me British means the United Kingdom of which includes Scotland, Wales and Northern Island being english just means I speak that language.

10:38 am

zoozzoom

Ireland*

10:39 am

MollyL

But Zoom, I speak English and I'm American.
: D

10:39 am

mattygroves

In the Rugby World Cup, for example, had, as competitors, England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales as distinct, separate countries

10:39 am

Kaplan the Magne

We speak American.

10:39 am

cybernan

don't think it was because they wouldn't like to be independent, but that they can't afford it --- what they really want is what Canada has - a completely autonomus government while retaining a tie to the commonwealth

10:39 am

rururocks

ah.. thanks matty

10:40 am

rururocks

(bets nan hasn't seen the price of scotch lately)..

10:40 am

MollyL

Commonwealth, I love that word. As if wealth is common.

10:41 am

mattygroves

England is a country. It lies (mostly - excluding Cornwall, for example) to the East of Wales and to the south of Scotland

10:41 am

cybernan

very familiar with the price of a good scotch! I think of yankee as a term for the north in the civil war between the states -- nothing to do with Canada

10:41 am

mattygroves

Now the Commonwealth is a different kettle of fish entirely. The way I think of it is that England, Scotland, (northern Ireland) and Wales are countries all of which are part of a nation

10:42 am

rururocks

the whole great Britain thing is confusing to me too

10:43 am

zoozzoom

Just to be clear, there is (mostly) a correspondence between geographical name and preferred ethnic name? UK = British (if you don't know otherwise) and England = English (not Scotland/Wales/etc)

10:43 am

mattygroves

Britain is the island, there are countries within that island.

10:43 am

mattygroves

(Zooz, have I got that right?)

10:43 am

cybernan

I think it all depends on your point of view, ruru. Whether you became a part of Great Britain by choice or by being defeated in war.

10:43 am

mattygroves

Then, of course, you get the outliers that are not part, technically, of either GB or UK but are still...kind of. Like the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands (which are each different from each other)

10:44 am

mattygroves

Glad I can clear things up ;)

10:45 am

rururocks

maybe when I go to Scotland it will all clear up for me :D

10:45 am

mattygroves

Just remember, Ru, that it's pronounced Edin-boro (not burg) and it's absolutely, definitely, not in England

10:46 am

rururocks

got it

10:46 am

cybernan

it is not edinboro but edinburr with a rolled r at the end!!!!!

10:46 am

Judi

*Imagines Ru creating international incident while in Scotland* Shall we alert Interpol now?

10:47 am

rururocks

well.. it's not like I kilt someone judi

10:47 am

mattygroves

Well, it depends. If you're Scottish, yes. But woe betide anyone who tries to put on a cod Scottish accent. Then you're better of with the boro ;)

10:47 am

mattygroves

Kind of pronounced with one syllable.

10:48 am

zoozzoom

Agreed lol

10:48 am

zoozzoom

Oh, ruru. you nearly got a groan out of me for that one lol

10:48 am

rururocks

:D (not for lack of trying)

10:49 am

cybernan

boro? ---- never---makes me so angry when I hear it. you are closer to the mark with edinburrah

10:49 am

cybernan

or just edinburr

10:49 am

mattygroves

Nan, it still beats 'burg'

10:49 am

zoozzoom

No I think Burrah is closer to the mark.

10:49 am

cybernan

not sure about that -- both are dreadfl

10:50 am

cybernan

*dreadful

10:50 am

MollyL

Ru, Judi, we are in the minority here so I suspect we should just hush.

10:50 am

cybernan

how would you feel if the newscasters all kept saying Lundoon instead of London?

10:50 am

Judi

Geesh. The floor is becoming littered with dropped vowels in here. Somebody get a brrrrm.

10:50 am

rururocks

(lips zipped here)

10:51 am

mattygroves

LOL Judi! Best joke of the evening. And I say that sitting next to Jeff (my other half who loves a pun)

10:51 am

zoozzoom

No no, molly. all is fine here. In fact it is nice to chat about things without people getting heated!

10:51 am

Judi

:-))

10:51 am

cybernan

guess there is no doubt where I stand so will take my scottish butt off to photo editing --- see you at the flip and hagd everyone

10:52 am

MollyL

Jeudi, whaet do you mean about extrea voweals?

10:52 am

rururocks

wouldn't that be btt?

10:52 am

zoozzoom

Have a great day, Nan :-)

10:53 am

MollyL

Just chequeing. I didn't mean to colour the chat with bad humour.

10:53 am

zoozzoom

Okay back to the grid for me. now where was I...
Oh yes the first M

10:54 am

Judi

Molly - going out of her way to have a vowel movement.

10:54 am

rururocks

I'm not adjusted to daylight savings time.. going to screw me up today

10:54 am

cybernan

don't drink to much of it, zoom!

10:54 am

rururocks

LOL judi

10:55 am

rururocks

(judi is sharp as can be today ...look out everyone)

10:56 am

Judi

Actually, I'm quite tired. Got up early to go grocery shopping. Forgot all about setting the clocks back. So, I'm a little punchy.

10:56 am

zoozzoom

Haha i won't, Nan :-)

10:57 am

Judi

It's just about nap time for me.

10:57 am

zoozzoom

Ours went back the other day. Wish they would leave the time alone.

10:57 am

rururocks

Why don't they just settle on a half hour and leave it there

10:58 am

Judi

And, if you live in Arizona, you don't change your clocks at all. Must be a twilight zone thing.

11:00 am

Judi

Dislike the falling back. Dark in the a.m. when getting up for work. Already dark in the p.m. when heading home. Contributes to seasonal affective disorder for sure.

11:00 am

MollyL

Why don't we just quit messing with the clock twice a year? The purpose for it has long since passed.

11:00 am

rururocks

I think it has to do with the rising of the Phoenix

11:01 am

Judi

Or the taming of the shrew.

11:01 am

MollyL

Going to work in the dark and coming home in the dark makes me feel like a mole.

11:01 am

rururocks

I agree molly.. it is just weird and outdated

11:02 am

rururocks

we aren't really saving anything :D

11:02 am

zoozzoom

definitely outdated.

11:03 am

Judi

I can see the point of it in the spring - saves energy. But, in the fall/winter, it seems like it would cause in increase in energy consumption. More lights on, heat turning on earlier & staying on longer. Oy. Who's responsible for this nonsense?

11:03 am

MollyL

There are people (not me) who literally never leave their office once they get there. Ergo, they do not see daylight 5 days a week.

11:03 am

Judi

Vampires!

11:03 am

zoozzoom

Blame the farmers, Judi :-)

11:04 am

rururocks

damn those hoes

11:04 am

zoozzoom

lol

11:04 am

Judi

Actually, I don't think dairy farmers participate in daylight savings - as the cows need to be milked at the same time 365 days a year.

11:05 am

rururocks

had a cow come to my door last night

11:06 am

rururocks

I opened the door and it said "trick or tea"

11:06 am

11:11 am

rururocks

wow.. how would you know it's pasture bedtime then

11:12 am

zoozzoom

Hahaha I love it!

11:12 am

MollyL

It never gets dark before 4:30 PM here. If it got dark at 3:45 PM I would be clinically depressed.

11:13 am

rururocks

it's always sunny here in Napa Valley

11:13 am

zoozzoom

Think of those much further north they have darkness for months at a time!

11:14 am

zoozzoom

On the shortest day of the year where you are, Ru what time does it start getting dark?

11:15 am

rururocks

yes.. those scandanavians have to do things by feel :D

11:15 am

MollyL

No sunshine at all, for months, would make me totally insane.

11:15 am

Soodle

So.... Take a bow, all you Americans. My daughter has traipsed around the world (well - Europe) after Taylor Swift all year. She says that the people she has met in Tampa are the best yet. They welcomed her & celebrated her enthusiasm ..... Enthusiastically! Of course, the fact that she was dressed as a leprechaun may have influenced that enthusiasm.....

Don't know if my icon changed - if it did, Suzie is the one in the middle...

Soodle

I envy her the exuberance of youth!!!!

2:46 pm

rururocks

I think of other things than Disneyland with the exuberance of youth :D

2:49 pm

rururocks

well.. at least in my youth. :D

2:53 pm

Bugsaw

she has to be careful ruru becaue she is in a foreign country and kind of stands out as the only leprechaun

2:53 pm

Bugsaw

I admire her spirit and national pride

2:54 pm

rururocks

hadn't considered that

2:55 pm

Bugsaw

I have loved her ever since she marched down the streets in Ireland tossing potatoes to the "crowds" watching her St Patricks Day parade of one

2:56 pm

MollyL

That was the older daughter. This is the younger one.

2:56 pm

Bugsaw

Oh, then they are both terrific kids. I stand corrected again.

2:57 pm

MollyL

Not correcting. Just giving credit to both of the Soodle offsping.

2:58 pm

Bugsaw

ok. thanks for clearing that up

2:58 pm

MollyL

Or offspring.

3:05 pm

Soodle

Sorry! I was facebooking Soodle The Younger. She is absolutely loving the whole US experience.

3:09 pm

Soodle

And, Molly. You are 100% correct. Sarah was the potato-tossing daughter. Suzie is the Taylor Swift stalking daughter. (The weirdness of what I have just typed has not escaped me. Seriously).

3:11 pm

rururocks

I wonder if she had a good starch on her throws? ..er I mean arch

3:16 pm

Soodle

Suzie's on a bus between Tampa & Orlando. She says the clientele on the bus is like the cast of Orange Is The New Black''. Lol

Clues are up

11:27 pm

dofith

...but not the puzzle!

11:34 pm

grannyrose

oh dear... it would appear lickety hasn't read his emails. xoxox

11:41 pm

dofith

Has this got something to do with Daylight Saving?

11:42 pm

grannyrose

yes dofith

11:43 pm

grannyrose

i did email him and warn him of the daylight saving finishing in the USofA

11:43 pm

dofith

When did it start? (I'm in WA - we still don't have it.)

11:43 pm

dofith

Oh, I see - US, not us.

11:44 pm

dofith

I remember now, from previous years.

11:44 pm

dofith

(Drumming fingers on table) - I'm ready to roll here!

11:45 pm

grannyrose

daylight saving for us starts the first sunday in october, and it finishes in the us of a the first sunday in november

11:46 pm

dofith

We'll get it here in the west one day, I'm sure.

11:46 pm

grannyrose

no need dofith, you have so much sunlight anyway.

11:47 pm

dofith

I guess I could do some h/w while I'm waiting. But then again, I only have 13 minutes to go...

11:48 pm

dofith

Just spent a week in Karratha with Son#3 and family - already it is 39-40 degrees.

11:48 pm

grannyrose

i mean your sunlight allows you to use both ends of your day, ours goes to dusk , it seems, much earlier. the daylight saving gives us some time of sunlit hours at the end of our days to be outside and enjoy it.

11:48 pm

grannyrose

now that's waaaaay too hot for me.

11:49 pm

gemini_J13

never thought it would affect the time of starting Babble?

11:50 pm

dofith

Every time they want to introduce it here, we have a trial run for a year or two. I always enjoy it, but then I don't have little kids to put to sleep etc

11:50 pm

sandyloo

hi guys, Im in the West also and I hate daylight saving as it is too hot - I look forward to 5pm when it starts to cool

11:50 pm

grannyrose

it does over here gemini because the flip time is 12 midnight in america, but depending on the DST it can be as early as 3pm here.

11:51 pm

sandyloo

Hi Rose how are you lately?

11:51 pm

grannyrose

hey ya sandy, cruising, honey. and you?

11:51 pm

dofith

Yes, sandy - that's why it never succeeds here. We're all exhausted by 5.00 and can't wait for nightfall!

11:52 pm

sandyloo

I am really good and at last I have a grandchild whom I am baby sitting at the moment

11:52 pm

grannyrose

yay!! sandy!! when did that happen, dear?

11:52 pm

dofith

Where are you, sandy?

11:52 pm

sandyloo

Thats a fact Dofith - When we had the trial we didnt have one single barbie because it was just too hot

11:53 pm

dofith

Congrats, sandy - grandies are the best!

11:53 pm

sandyloo

I am in Margaret River- We moved here because Perth was too hot ( ha we are too precious i figure) you can read my profile- Where are you?

11:54 pm

dofith

I'm with you - hate the heat with a passion. And the bugs, creepy crawlies etc that come with it. Love Margaret River. We're sometimes in Perth, sometimes in Falcon (just sth of Mandurah).

11:55 pm

sandyloo

The baby is 15mths old now and she is so cute - My daughter got married a while ago in England we all went there for the grand affair- I am getting too old for the first one

11:56 pm

dofith

My man is a Melbourne boy - came west to study, loved it and the heat because he hates Melb weather

11:56 pm

sandyloo

It seems to be getting hotter every year - We live on a farm and swim in the dam which is so fresh and cool

11:56 pm
