dofith

Hey Jac, wanted to say (just before flip) re conversation about the properties of fox poo(!) - get rid of the foxes and get a bunny - so sweet and loving and soft and cuddly and easily house trained. No problem if they miss their litter box, 'cos bunny poo comes in net little pellets which don't smell, because they're herbivores.

12:35 am

dofith

neat, not net

12:37 am

Jacula

dofith - we had 20 bunnies and 21 guinea pigs many years ago.

12:38 am

dofith

Maybe the foxes have got long memoris!

12:38 am

dofith

Can't spell today

12:39 am

Jacula

Maybe they do, since they never got into our bunny and g/pig shed.

12:39 am

Jacula

sura

12:40 am

Jacula

sural

12:40 am

Jacula

Whoops! Sorry!

12:41 am

dofith

Some bright spark introduced foxes here into Aus many years ago for hunting sport for the early settlers. Now they're everywhere. Hard to keep chooks safe.

12:41 am

dofith

Will shut up now and return to grid

12:53 am

Jacula

FIREWORKS! *~*~*~* Last word thanks to Lickety.

12:55 am

Hello, all :-)

7:47 am

phaeton

hi ladies

7:47 am

BzznBea

Hello all. Seems like every one has adjusted to the time change.

7:48 am

phaeton

😖 Not my favorite thing to do

7:49 am

BzznBea

Nor mine.

7:50 am

Uneaixoise

Clue for mu7 please?

7:50 am

welki

we actually had a provincial referendum come up last month on the topic, whether or not to get rid of dst - folks actually voted (by a small margin) to keep it :(

7:50 am

BzznBea

Does anyone remeber their grandparents calling it the spring change "fast time"?

7:51 am

saanichcat

mu 7 rhymes with a bird of prey that hangs around battlefields

7:51 am

phaeton

didn't have grandparents so...nope

7:51 am

Uneaixoise

Thanks!!

7:52 am

saanichcat

7:54 am

so, for what it's worth, resex isn't a word

7:54 am

mael

i hate the time change

7:54 am

mael

i don't even care which one they chose, just pick one and stick with it

7:54 am

BzznBea

It is hardest one the children and the pets.

7:56 am

mael

I was up at 4 on sunday morning and 5 today, which i guess is progress

7:58 am

MollyL

It is interesting because the light changes, whether we turn the clocks or not. Eventually, we end up in the same place, light-wise. It's just artificially enhanced by the time change. Our circadian rhythms are based on hours of daylight, not what time it is.

8:00 am

mael

I just think that if it made sense once upon a time, we now have... both artificial light a plenty and a disregulated lifestyle to boot. Why force a change when it's useless? Stick MA on Atlantic Standard Time if you really want to make a difference in evening light

8:07 am

periwinkle

hi all. I have ti7/8 help with other 8 pls

MollyL

I thought the bu7 bird and the vu7 bird were different. Turns out they are the same.

8:44 am

welki

hey, bea? which basic singer machine would you recommend? i need something just for simple repairs and can't sew worth a damn.

8:44 am

BzznBea

I love me some birds, but those are the most disgusting things. Not that they eat dead things but they are just ugly! And they vomit as a defense mechanism.

8:44 am

bichon

ty Molly

8:45 am

welki

looking at them online, i think i might like an automatic threader :D

8:45 am

welki

(the 'heavy duty' 44xx series seems worth it, because of the better motor, but do i need it?)

8:46 am

BzznBea

I have an aito threader and never use it. They are tempermental.

8:46 am

BzznBea

Do you have a sewong machine repair place near you?

8:46 am

welki

*unchecks auto threader and, instead, buys a magnifying glass*

8:47 am

welki

not very close, but i could get to one if i had to

8:48 am

BzznBea

I was just wondering if it would be better to buy a used machine than a new one.

8:49 am

welki

i'd probably get up-sold if i did that

8:49 am

BzznBea

I have a singer that I got in the early 80's and it has never let me down. Where as my new fancy machine can be a diva some days.

8:50 am

welki

the two (simple) machines i was looking at are the singer m1000 mending machine (VERY affordable) and the m4411 (better motor, but twice the price)

8:50 am

BzznBea

If you are going to do just mending and simple sewing tasks. I would find one with the functions you need and in your price range.

8:51 am

MollyL

They are pretty gross birds, Bea.

8:51 am

BzznBea

The better motor might make for a sturdier, strnger machine.

8:51 am

welki

probably better if i had to sew through denim, too

8:52 am

rururocks

i didn't know they were bulimic.. but considering what they eat

8:52 am

BzznBea

Yes, welki.

8:52 am

BzznBea

I think they also spit.

8:56 am

welki

thanks, bea :)

9:01 am

MollyL

All around disgusting tings, they are

9:04 am

BzznBea

Speaking of disgusting...Friday I was volunterring in a community garden. My job is to take care of the birds. I was cleaning out a large, deep bird bath and there was so much muck in it, i just started scooping the water out with my hands.

9:05 am

BzznBea

I touched upon something that I thought was a waterlogged plant stalk. When I pulled it out it was a dead rat that had been mostly eaten by a hawk, then deposited in the bath.

9:05 am

BzznBea

I screamed like a girl!

9:16 am

rururocks

*tosses breakfast out now*

9:17 am

BzznBea

Sorry.

9:17 am

BzznBea

LOL!

9:17 am

rururocks

the hawk was being polite and leaving appetizers for someone else

9:18 am

BzznBea

He had eaten all the good stuff. Just tail, teeth and fur left.

9:19 am

welki

not enough lysol in the world - yuck!

9:19 am

rururocks

that's really a disgusting story ugh

9:20 am

BzznBea

I will never stick my hands in that bird bath again.

9:21 am

welki

...unless you have a hazmat suit on

9:23 am

rururocks

i have a hawk in my palm tree .. he surveys the vineyard behind my house and gets rabbits, squirrels and such

9:24 am

BzznBea

They have their place in the ecosystem and I love having them around. Just don't want anymore presents from them.

9:25 am

rururocks

he left you a pot sticker bea :D

9:25 am

BzznBea

=)

9:28 am

rururocks

(note to self) Don't ever clean a bird bath

9:31 am

BzznBea

I have 50 left. Going to save them for this afternoon. Off to make things happen.

9:31 am

welki

and here i was, thinking that i should get a heated bird bath for all the backyard birds this winter - nope, change of plans

9:33 am

rururocks

you know what hawks call bird seed feeders?

9:35 am

welki

happy hour? buffet line? appetizers?

9:35 am

rururocks

sushi bar

9:36 am

welki

yep - pass the wasabi :D

9:37 am

rururocks

neurula

9:37 am

rururocks

oops

9:37 am

welki

the only casualty we've had this year (that we know of) was an injured sparrow, lifted from our deck by a blue jay

9:37 am

hokie carla

there's one I'd never have guessed, thanks!

9:38 am

rururocks

I didn't know blue jays ate other birds

9:39 am

hokie carla

they're big bullies but I didn't know they eat them either

9:40 am

welki

we were surprised, too, but when i looked it up, it's fairly common. they're opportunists, and food is food

9:41 am

welki

and bea, if you're still around, upon further consideration, for the amount of times i'd use a machine, it's probably not worth the storage space to buy one.

9:44 am

Uneaixoise

Tu7/40 clue please....last word :-)

9:45 am

cybernan

good morning :)

9:46 am

Uneaixoise

grats une - 62 left from last night here

9:48 am

cybernan

just got some good news -- have my appointment for my booster shot (tomorrow)

9:49 am

rururocks

great nan

9:49 am

rururocks

i hope you don't have a reaction like I didn't

9:50 am

hokie carla

yes, good luck

9:50 am

cybernan

we'll see - didn't have any reaction to the 2 pfizer shots, but the booster will be a moderna

9:51 am

hokie carla

I think the older you are the less the reactions are, but that's because your body doesn't mount as much as an immune response.

9:52 am

hokie carla

but I just heard someone I know younger than me only had a sore arm. so it seems kinda random.

9:53 am

cybernan

had a reaction to the flu shot last week

9:56 am

hokie carla

I told my mom I'd like for her to get her booster before Thanksgiving (ideally now). I ask her like every day and her response is "they told me not to get it before my mammogram". yes, but your mammogram was 2 weeks ago! She doesn't drive anymore but her sister takes her to things. I'd like for her sister to get her booster now too, since she has family come in for Thanksgiving too.

10:12 am

hokie carla

well, I'm not really seeing the words right now. guess I'll be back later for last 51.

12:17 pm

hokie carla

what does it end with 🤣

12:18 pm

mab

rhymes with neeson's first name?

12:18 pm

hokie carla

feels like I've tried every combo of letters possible with the points

12:19 pm

hokie carla

well not trilium because I've tried that at least 2x

12:19 pm

Sophie512

12:27 pm

12:32 pm

hokie carla

NE

12:32 pm

bichon

tu 6/21, pls

12:32 pm

hokie carla

12:33 pm

hokie carla

a large soup service dish, bichon

12:35 pm

bleugirl2

LOL I have been playing this game for years and never knew that. Doh!

12:35 pm

joym999

ne7, huh? Is it related to the NE6?

12:35 pm

hokie carla

it's an embryo stage I've never heard of

12:37 pm

joym999

I had to go Google embryonic stages

12:37 pm

hokie carla

bleugirl, the ? links to dictionary.com, which doesn't always have a definition, sometimes it gives you a proper noun that isn't the right one, and sometimes pulls up a word that's close.

12:38 pm

hokie carla

or you could've just pulled up the chat archive and looked for ruru's blurt 😜

12:39 pm

hokie carla

darnit, I didn't find a TU7, it was a 6. so now I still need TU7 if anyone wants to clue.

12:40 pm

joym999

sounds like something you don't want to have but is actually and archeology term, carla

12:40 pm

MollyL

I totally didn't get the Star Trek fuel reference

12:40 pm

joym999

if your body was full of TU5s you might be TU7

12:41 pm

MollyL

Or a twist on the Exorcist song word that sounds more like a cancer word

12:41 pm

joym999

except that that's not what it means

12:42 pm

hokie carla

there's an exorcist song?

12:42 pm

1:10 pm

Sophie512

I have 28. Taking a break to actually do something. Although I won't be going anywhere. My car wouldn't start yesterday. Just got a new battery. Now maybe alternator. Can't complain. It's 15 yrs old

1:20 pm

MollyL

Usually, cars that old are one repair after another.

1:25 pm

joym999

It's so hard to know when it's time to just give up making the repairs and get a new one, though.

1:26 pm

Sophie512

this will be my first major thing, except batteries.....it doesn't have 130k miles yet

1:42 pm

joym999

FW for me, anyone need clues?

1:48 pm

clg47

Good luck Sophie. I had a similar issue with one of my favorite old cars (wish I still had it). Battery, alternator maybe a new generator and eventually found out it was a short in the ignition wire. That great old Volvo had over 250,000 miles.

2:15 pm

MollyL

If you are paying more in repairs than you would on a new lease or purchase, it makes sense to give up on the old one.
