hi all. I heard today about a couple that have been eating on their wedding cake for 61 years!

7:15 am

suefrad625

no worries, it is a fruit cake. You just cant make these things up.

7:16 am

doseffing

... sounds like the Shel Silverstein poem about the little girl who started to eat a whale and finished it when she was an old lady

7:16 am

Trifioso

because it takes 61 years to finish one!

7:17 am

doseffing

... yup

7:17 am

suefrad625

7:18 am

suefrad625

I think a whale would taste better Dos. The Green things in those cakes....YUCK

7:21 am

7:22 am

Trifioso

I'm calling shenanigans. At this point it's just rum.

I am really trying to think of something as bad as fruit cake, but nothing comes to mind.

7:23 am

doseffing

... tapioca

7:24 am

Trifioso

its not even the cake - it is the idea of eating ANYTHING 61 years old. The idea of the story is sweet enough, but ....gross.

7:24 am

suefrad625

lol, they still have a 3 X 4 piece

7:25 am

Trifioso

Hello Friends. If any of you see Uneaixois before I do, could you tell her that my youngest daughter is in love with her city? Suzie landed in Nashville 2 days ago, and thinks she has died and gone to Heaven!

And now.. the song is stuck in my head.. and I will go off to my son's swimming lesson... "they don't abuse it.. never gonna lose it...what does it matter?" Peace out!

Lizlin

Hi all :)

6:57 pm

cybernan

hi liz

6:58 pm

Lizlin

Hi Nan - thought I was alone here.

6:58 pm

hurshy

i'm here too just not chatting much

6:59 pm

Lizlin

Hi Hurshy - was sorry to read about your cat earlier this week :( So sad to lose a pet. They are such good friends.

7:00 pm

hurshy

yeah, i'm still kind of in disbelief. it seems impossible and wrong.

7:00 pm

Lizlin

A couple of my friends here are facing something similar in the near future :(

7:00 pm

hurshy

i designed a little memorial plaque on one of those websites where you can do personalized stuff, and it arrived today, so at least i have that to look at.

7:01 pm

Lizlin

That's a lovely thing to do - clever of you to design it.

7:01 pm

welki

hi folks

hurshy, i'm sorry about your cat. we put one of our dogs down on tuesday and we're still reeling, too.

7:01 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* - anyone want clues before I leave?

7:01 pm

hurshy

i find it important to prepare by thinking about what you want to do for remembrance ahead of time. so like i have bits of each cat's fur that i set aside before they die so that i can keep that. i wore a black armband when marty died 2 years ago for 14 weeks, one week for each year of his life.

7:01 pm

Lizlin

Sorry to hear that, welki.

7:02 pm

hurshy

*hugs* to you welki

7:02 pm

Lizlin

Congrats, nan

7:02 pm

welki

we keep their collars

7:02 pm

Lizlin

Nice memories.

7:03 pm

cybernan

Hi Welki -- thought you might be at Priddis Greens this week

7:03 pm

hurshy

me and mitten just... knew each other SO WELL after so long together... you just can't replace that.

7:03 pm

Lizlin

No clues yet, nan, thanks. I'm missing one 7 but don't know which it is yet. Just listed for my last 50 words.

7:03 pm

hurshy

i'm still early stages of finding words

7:03 pm

welki

less than half an hour away, nan - but we have a tournament this weekend in the opposite direction

7:04 pm

cybernan

Too bad the weather isn't better for it

7:04 pm

cybernan

* for yours too

7:04 pm

welki

i think it'll be nice and sunny by then - here's hoping

7:05 pm

welki

it'll be a welcome diversion after this week. hurshy, are you keeping yourself busy? sitting around just makes the grief worse

7:05 pm

welki

(for me, anyway)

7:06 pm

cybernan

touch and go whether they'll be able to finish today after the 2 hr delay --- temp dropping below 59 now so that will be a shock to some of them

7:06 pm

hurshy

yes, school started up this week and i have a packed schedule from 8:25 to 3

7:06 pm

welki

ohh, you mean for today's play? yeah, it was pretty lousy weather, but they're a tough bunch of gals

7:07 pm

welki

gotta run

7:07 pm

Lizlin

Enjoy your evening.

7:07 pm

cybernan

bye welki --- keep your head down and the back swing slow :-)

7:12 pm

Lizlin

Wow! Listing helped! Quickly down to 19.

7:12 pm

hurshy

hey that's funny that is what the kids had for lunch today at school

7:13 pm

Lizlin

That's adventurous for school - we never had anything like that, either as pupils or teachers!

7:14 pm

hurshy

well, they always have a sandwich option if the kids don't want the main thing. and the sa6 or whatever they serve also comes in either meat or veggie.

7:14 pm

Lizlin

Sounds good.

7:15 pm

hurshy

the teacher lunch was beer battered fish, it was all i could do to exert my willpower and not eat more than 2 pieces

7:16 pm

Lizlin

I'd've had the samosas! Actually I rarely ate the school lunch - except when I forgot my own or if there was a dessert I really wanted!

7:16 pm

hurshy

i don't like indian food. except naan. i'm cool with naan.

7:17 pm

Lizlin

I miss the Indian restaurants from London. Here all the food is smothered in sauces - not the way I like it! My local Indian restaurant used to do an amazing tandoori salmon - now we do it ourselves.

Uneaixoise

congrats, liz!

7:26 pm

Thanks Une - did you see the message from Soodle earlier?

7:26 pm

Uneaixoise

no . . .

7:27 pm

Lizlin

She said to tell you that her daughter is loving Nashville

7:27 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, cool! Is she visiting or going to school here?

7:28 pm

Lizlin

Not sure - visiting I think.

7:28 pm

Lizlin

Message at 4.42 babble time

7:28 pm

Lizlin

Any clues before I go?

7:29 pm

Uneaixoise

wow, she's come in the middle of miserable weather -- high temps and very humid----guess she likes it hot LOL

7:29 pm

Uneaixoise

tx liz :-)

7:29 pm

Lizlin

No problem - I saw it when I turned on my iPad this morning.

7:29 pm

7:30 pm

Lizlin

Enjoy your evenings :)

8:21 pm

rururocks

can I just say.. that I really dislike this grid

8:22 pm

hurshy

really? why? i think it's normal.

8:25 pm

rururocks

not normal to me

8:27 pm

hurshy

any letter giving you troubles in particular?

8:28 pm

rururocks

the m.. but I found it finally

8:28 pm

rururocks

now just some t's and s's.. slow going

8:29 pm

hurshy

i do not suppose you would accept my help... i have got some rope up here...

8:31 pm

rururocks

no.. i'm ok.. just complaining is all :D

8:32 pm

rururocks

I missed some plurals apparently with the hidden s's

8:32 pm

hurshy

it's a quote, i thought you'd get it. or are you the one who always refused to watch The Princess Bride?

8:33 pm

rururocks

I refuse to watch the princess bride and the Princess Diaries.

8:35 pm

Bugsaw

the Princess Bride is a riot. Definately worth watching ruru

8:37 pm

hurshy

the princess bride is NOTHING AT ALL like the princess diaries. there is ZERO resemblance other than the title.

8:38 pm

hurshy

did you not like... The Neverending Story? Labyrinth?

8:39 pm

hurshy

do you not think you would enjoy Billy Crystal as a slightly deaf old Miracle man?

8:39 pm

hurshy

chases? escapes? revenge? pirates?

8:41 pm

hurshy

shrieking eels? cliffs of insanity? pit of despair? rodents of unusual size? lightning sand?

8:42 pm

hurshy

a prince who plans to murder his bride on their wedding night and frame the country across the sea so he can start a war with them?

8:42 pm

jwr

ruru, say yes, please. If you don't, we may never get back to the grid alive!

8:43 pm

Bugsaw

poisonings? double switches?

8:43 pm

hurshy

a decades-long search for a six-fingered man?

8:43 pm

Bugsaw

prepare to die!

8:43 pm

hurshy

fabulous swordfighting?

8:43 pm

jwr

aaahhh!

8:44 pm

Bugsaw

you are SO out of the loop ruru and jwr. Please join those of us who enjoy a good satire

8:46 pm

Marc Freeman

da6/24, please?

8:47 pm

hurshy

it is a variety of plum, Marc

8:47 pm

jwr

loopy, indeed. Satires: Mon Oncle, Divorce Italian Style, MAsH, Milky Way, Network . . . .,

8:48 pm

Bugsaw

ty Hurshy

8:48 pm

jwr

The Great Dictator, Chicago, Dr. Strangelove

8:49 pm

Bugsaw

can you explain the theme of your list, please, jwr?

8:50 pm

jwr

satire, Bugs - as anti comic romp

8:50 pm

Bugsaw

I agree with those I know but wasn't sure about some

8:51 pm

jwr

Understood: I have a standing argument with my best friend about the choice of "Chicago"

8:52 pm

Bugsaw

I like Chicago songs

8:55 pm

jwr

Satire doesn't just throw in bits and pieces (LOTS of bits and pieces if it's a Hollywood type) of the subject, it goes to the core and expresses it, and its flaws in a completely new and comical way. The best satires have an edge to them.

8:55 pm

Bugsaw

do you thing that Chicago and Princess Bride are not satyrical enough?

8:57 pm

Plebian

am

8:57 pm

jwr

Love 'em. Mr. Cellophane, Cell Block Tango, Razzle Dazzle - all satirizing both other musicals and the whole Chicago gangster era schtick

8:58 pm

jwr

Bugs, Chicago is on my list.

8:58 pm

Bugsaw

Right, I am with you there. You love my most favourites too

8:59 pm

hurshy

so if i understand aright, when jwr said ruru should agree to watch the Princess Bride or we might never get back to the grid alive, it was a jokey thing.

8:59 pm

jwr

yup

8:59 pm

Bugsaw

ok. sorry hurshy

9:00 pm

Bugsaw

I am easily sidetracked

9:00 pm

jwr

And it looks like I was right. ruru must be dead by now

9:00 pm

hurshy

mostly dead, or all dead?

9:00 pm

jwr

oh, just temporarily

9:01 pm

Bugsaw

don't worry hurshy, he will bounce back for anything lewd or slightly off

9:01 pm

hurshy

get the chocolate! i'm whipping up a miracle pill!

9:01 pm

jwr

he'll be back around Springtime . . . for Hitler

9:02 pm

Bugsaw

LOL

9:03 pm

jwr

[shhh! he can hear us!]

9:03 pm

hurshy

humperdinck, humperdinck, humperdinck!

9:04 pm

jwr

Excuse me, lovely chatfolks. I'm at 183 and about to go a-listing tra la. Later...

9:04 pm

Bugsaw

shutting up now too

9:04 pm
