1:38 am

1:49 am

kimmtoats

i mean di6,30

1:49 am

Marc Freeman

cr8, please?

1:49 am

dcseain

cr8 sounds like a low-life or caveman

1:50 am

sprite

lol I was thinking, no way there could be a de4/30

1:50 am

kimmtoats

lol

1:50 am

grannyrose

di6, d + three vowels + i**, very cold, to point of freezing

1:51 am

kimmtoats

ty

1:51 am

grannyrose

cr8 is a type of material

1:53 am

sprite

cr8 ends in a heavy weight

1:53 am

kimmtoats

good clue, rose!

1:54 am

Marc Freeman

Think I have the first 5 letter cr+ vowel plus double constanant

1:54 am

Marc Freeman

Is this correct if so any help with the last three letters?

1:54 am

dcseain

it ends in a lot of weight

1:54 am

sprite

um no. Single consonant there.

1:56 am

grannyrose

cr8. cr + vowel + metric weight which contains double consonant

1:57 am

Marc Freeman

2:00 am

sprite

lol same here

2:01 am

sprite

you know, typing it in, then repeating the process while typing more fanatically, as if it will take the second time that way

2:01 am

Marc Freeman

in5/16, please?

2:02 am

grannyrose

roflol.... exactly. and thumping the keys ever so firmly as if the keyboard wasn't putting in the letters.

2:02 am

grannyrose

marc, as in in5 red

2:02 am

sprite

in + first 3 letters of country that rubyfoo lives in

2:02 am

sprite

lol rose, just so

2:03 am

Marc Freeman

I cannot believe I missed that. I tried every configuration of the last 3 letters I though. Thanks

2:03 am

sprite

yvw Marc. We all suffer from babble blindness from time to time

2:04 am

grannyrose

too much holiday foods marc?

2:05 am

sprite

itty? As in itty bitty?

2:06 am

grannyrose

2:07 am

sprite

I know. Should be, though. *hmphff*

2:09 am

sprite

phantom: K9

2:09 am

grannyrose

brb TENS time

2:09 am

sprite

as you can tell, I have reached the phase of desperation

2:10 am

sprite

rose and I do the counting thing. K9, TENS... who bids more?

2:13 am

grannyrose

oceans eleven ??

2:14 am

sprite

yay! Do I hear 12?

2:14 am

grannyrose

a dozen eggs

2:14 am

sprite

good. Let's make an omelet

2:14 am

grannyrose

a baker's dozen, 13

2:15 am

grannyrose

i want mozzarella in mine, with bacon on the side. heart attack stuff...

2:15 am

sprite

yummy

2:17 am

grannyrose

but i be a little cautious.... no maple syrup... lolll

2:18 am

sprite

moderation in all, lolol

2:19 am

sprite

speaking of bacon, my taste is changing so quickly. Everything seems to taste salty. Way too salty. I used to love bacon, now I don't.

2:19 am

grannyrose

only with my eggs and bacon. a stack of pancakes is not exempt... *sigh* i think i need a pancake parlour hit...lolll

2:20 am

sprite

pancakes are so good with syrup

2:20 am

grannyrose

interesting sprite. i wonder what has caused that?

2:20 am

sprite

must be the operation, somehow.

2:21 am

grannyrose

well your enzymes etc have all been altered because of the way your GI tract is now.

2:22 am

sprite

yes. So that must be the cause. It is weird. Nothing tastes the way it should.

2:22 am

grannyrose

when do you have your next appointment with the surgeon?

2:23 am

grannyrose

*snorts into drink* are you sure you aren't on ketamine?

2:23 am

sprite

not for a while. I will see the internist in january or february.

2:23 am

grannyrose

maybe he will have an answer.

2:24 am

grannyrose

what about the practice nurse. could she help?

2:24 am

sprite

yeah I will certainly ask. I have an appt with the dietician this week, but I think I am gonna reschedule. Things are too hectic this month.

2:25 am

grannyrose

*sigh* my poor love. i hate it when you get deluged with stuff. but then again maybe the dietician could answer the question.

2:26 am

grannyrose

what else is happening this week?

2:26 am

sprite

perhaps. But it is not an urgent question, so it will keep.

2:27 am

grannyrose

true. but will you remember? or do i need to remind you?

2:27 am

sprite

today I will drive to harderwijk with caya, visiting with friends. Tomorrow a friend of mine who is in a load of trouble is visiting with us, all day. Then the day after I should go to the dietician. And the day after is New Year's Eve and another friend's birthday... and Jan 1st I will do my first shift alone.

2:27 am

sprite

no I am good, I will remember

2:28 am

sprite

whoa, listing it like that has decided me. I am gonna reschedule the dietician. Nothing much she can do for me anyway.

2:29 am

grannyrose

next weekend is full on again for me. ducking out of the dietician sounds good to me. you will need some down time to recover enough to handle your first shift. oh my, that sounds so great to say that.

2:29 am

grannyrose

what time is your first shift?

2:30 am

sprite

lol it does, doesn't it?
My first shift will be at 7 am. I thought I'd take the early shift, seeing how most people will want to sleep in.

2:31 am

grannyrose

*giggling like crazy* then again, the hangovers might produce some very sad peeps.

2:32 am

grannyrose

or some who have been subjected to abuse because of drunken partners.

2:33 am

sprite

oh I was thinking of my colleagues who would prefer to sleep in. I am pretty sure it will be a busy shift as calls go

2:33 am

grannyrose

who can tell?? whatever.. i hope it goes smoothly for you. i will so look forward to hearing about it, in general terms of course.

2:36 am

sprite

lol, they say it can"t be postponed.

2:37 am

grannyrose

btw... YAYAYAYAYAY my gardener starts back tomorrow after his shoulder surgery. it has been almost 4 months. i have told him to not push himself.

2:38 am

sprite

oh that is lovely. Yeah, I hope he takes it easy

2:38 am

sprite

burocracy rulezzzz

2:38 am

sprite

ps

2:39 am

sprite

pls call another number...

2:39 am

grannyrose

ummm... spritey ?? where are you ?? wake up !!

2:40 am

sprite

calling with the hospital. Lollll the number she gave me is of radiology. Not what I need...

2:41 am

sprite

waiting.... and waiting... oh the delights of burocracy

2:41 am

grannyrose

oh....you don't have a public holiday there as boxing day fell on the weekend?

2:43 am

sprite

nope. The days fall as they fall, and we people are either lucky or unlucky with how they fall

2:43 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, i unnerstan'

2:46 am

sprite

dependent on how they fall, we call it an employer's Xmas or an employee's Xmas

2:46 am

grannyrose

exactly

2:46 am

sprite

lolollll oh this is priceless. Radiology found the right number... I call it... and lo and behold, I hear a tape telling me to call the number I called in the first place...

2:49 am

sprite

right. They will call me back this afternoon. Shall I hold my breath? Hmmm nope.

2:50 am

grannyrose

don't hold your breath. leave a message and go out for coffee

2:51 am

sprite

crazy stuff. Anyway, it will sort itself out

2:52 am

grannyrose

frustrating darling

2:52 am

sprite

yeah it is, but it is kind of making me laugh too.

2:53 am

grannyrose

good for you to laugh...

2:54 am

grannyrose

i made my family laugh hysterically on boxing day. my bro poured me a sip of a very dry wine.

2:54 am

grannyrose

i drank it and sat there, pounding the table, eyes closed with an amazing grimace on my face.

2:56 am

sprite

hehehe :)

2:57 am

grannyrose

it was so dry, i had to moisturise my throat...

2:57 am

grannyrose

with our own sweetish sparkling.

2:58 am

grannyrose

the wine made my face ache... lolll

2:58 am

sprite

oh I know, right? Some are so dry it hurts

3:01 am

grannyrose

it does hurt, sprite

3:02 am

grannyrose

don and i are slowly getting used to dryer wines. but we are nowhere near what my bro can drink.

3:02 am

sprite

phantom: infect

3:07 am

sprite

lol I wonder how they think things work... telling me I cannot reschedule that appointment. Do they think them telling me no will make me magically appear on the set time anyway?

3:08 am

grannyrose

*giggle* knowing you.... nope

3:10 am

sprite

nope indeed. Ah well, they will call me. Or they won't. Anyway, I have let them know I won't be there on the 30th. I need a day that is empty of obligations.

3:12 am

grannyrose

you certainly do sprite. otherwise you will be a mess.

3:15 am

sprite

yeah it is a bit muchish anyway this week. But taking it one day at a time and step by step. It is survival mode, but not too much so.

3:16 am

sprite

may I please have a clue for re5/10 the first one?

1:20 pm

MLFAN17

2nd in6 clue please?

1:20 pm

therealblah

they are scary things. there is usually no time to evacuate and you don't know what direction to go in anyway. They level entire towns in 45 seconds.

1:20 pm

MLFAN17

and they can happen overnight as well

1:23 pm

therealblah

yes you really need to have a good plan ahead of time for getting everyone into some kind of shelter

1:23 pm

therealblah

(somewhere in your house that is)

1:24 pm

MLFAN17

if a tornado hits you need to get in a closet, between two walls or your bath tub. away from windows

1:26 pm

MLFAN17

found it

1:26 pm

therealblah

yes and in the center of the house as much as possible...mine would be my powder room and I'll be grabbing a bottle of vodka on the way

1:26 pm

MLFAN17

we only have a walk in shower

1:27 pm

MLFAN17

1:28 pm

rururocks

1:28 pm

MLFAN17

before you get into your bath tub get some pillows for protection of sorts and padding and grab your pets!

1:28 pm

therealblah

that's my understanding :)

1:29 pm

therealblah

well it's a powder room so no tub, but there is a toilet which I figure I'll need :D

1:29 pm

therealblah

1:29 pm

MLFAN17

1:30 pm

MLFAN17

1:31 pm

therealblah

1:32 pm

1:32 pm

Sily is very good at keeping Loki straight, until he just bowls her over and carries on - poor kitty!

4:43 pm

TY I've bookmarked and will explore the scottish marine life at leisure

4:45 pm

Scotland is still amazing, and it's just a wonderful place to be. I can go up to Orkney for a weekend, or explore all the west coast and east coast. The weather is just horrible at the moment :(

exactly. i am tired of making things, my house is in shambles.

5:57 pm

I'm trying to get rid of all the sweets at this stage -- plan to go back on South Beach for at least 3 months after New Year's Day

5:58 pm

and i forgot to buy doggie hoiday outfit for my porch frog. his santa hat was destroyed last year.

5:58 pm

72 Temple Owl

i saw a doggie hat and scarf that was too cute.

6:00 pm

cybernan

on my way --- santa brought the 2 terrabite auxiliary hard drive I asked for, so I should go and back up the desktop pc on it.

6:01 pm

72 Temple Owl

nice!

6:01 pm

welki

very nice - lots of storage

6:05 pm

cybernan

yes and it is really small too - fits in the palm of my hand. Hard to believe it was just yesterday that we were all so thrilled with 128meg storage on our commodore 64's!

6:06 pm

cybernan

bye everyone - hagd :)

6:06 pm

hahaha - the other day, i was with a group of people and someone asked if any of us remembered floppy discs. i remember key punch!

Wow I got both 8s. Yah me

Hello....

welki

hi, pen

6:10 pm

GroovyKiwi

Kia ora pen

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

bye nan

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

i had a computer with a floppy drive.

6:12 pm

72 Temple Owl

have. still have until i figureout how to get stuff off of it

6:14 pm

welki

what i did was email the files to myself

6:14 pm

welki

might have to compress the larger ones

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

i thought of that but there is no internet on it. it had a dial up connection.

6:16 pm

72 Temple Owl

i think perhaps find a usb port, if there was such a thing back then.

6:21 pm

GroovyKiwi

A comport tech should be able to take out the drive and convert it

6:22 pm

GroovyKiwi

Computer tech even

6:23 pm

72 Temple Owl

trying to do it myself, funds are low.

6:24 pm

welki

if the files are even worth the effort

6:25 pm

welki

i doubt there'd be a usb port

6:25 pm

penquis

There are some programs that will help you do this, I think....but I have no idea how they work....another option is to ask a computer tech guy if he could take things off a floppy....would be cheaper than having him deal with the whole computer.....

6:26 pm

penquis

You don't have a portable hard drive?

6:26 pm

welki

good idea, pen - i can see the tech, 'a floppy what?' lolol

6:26 pm

72 Temple Owl

no, and i do not know how that would help

6:27 pm

penquis

Well you never know what they can do with the disk unles you ask....

6:27 pm

72 Temple Owl

there are old family photos on it,but i am the only one interested

6:27 pm

welki

i think what pen means is save the files to a floppy disc and that way, all you have to do is bring the disc to the computer tech, not the whole machine

6:28 pm

penquis

If you had a portable hard drive, you could save things to it on one computer and access it with the other (after reconnecting it)....

6:28 pm

72 Temple Owl

what does that have to do with an external hard drive, is the question.

6:28 pm

welki

if you had one, you could save the files to it and just transfer them to your newer computer

6:28 pm

welki

yes?

6:28 pm

welki

that yes? was to pen

6:29 pm

penquis

Yes.....I just said that... ;o)

6:29 pm

welki

why yes, yes you did (i swear that post wasn't there when i typed mine!)

6:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

i do not think i made myself understood. the computer with the files and a modem connection has what i want. it has a hard drive and a floppy drive. i do not know how i would connect an external hard drive to that dinosaur.

6:30 pm

72 Temple Owl

this began with my stating i wonder if there is a usb port on the old one.

6:31 pm

welki

maybe you can't (if it's a really old computer, it won't have usb ports) - but you could save the files to a floppy disc, couldn't you?

6:32 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes. but again, the suggestion was to use an external hard drive and i asked how? it is not possible.

6:33 pm

welki

even if it does, it probably doesn't have the capability to handle the speed of new ones

6:33 pm

72 Temple Owl

if it were, there would not be a problem

6:33 pm

welki

well, how would anyone but you know? i think we were just trying to help?

6:34 pm

72 Temple Owl

of course. this is not a tech forum

6:35 pm

72 Temple Owl

truthfully, no one cares about the famiy history and photos except me and there is no one after me, so it is better to let it go.

6:38 pm

welki

just save it for a rainy day project when you have a couple of bucks set aside

6:40 pm

Aloyisius

dan2.. i was looking at a tenderloin roast and the cheapest was $72 so we settled for a ribeye roast. I didn't know till the butcher told me that the tenderloin = filet mignon! Oh yum, no wonder it disappeared

7:54 pm

I was happy not to cook but we had 3 turkey dinners with all the trimmings for 3 days in a row. I think Mr Bugs wanted his own left overs
