Nice coin, sprite -- he looks quite glorified, lol! In my icon I think he just looks sulky. Flosey had a noble one, though.

2:19 am

we went to Ameland, me and 4 lady friends. Spent a mid week in a cottage with a sauna, a swimming pool and the like. We had a very relaxing time.

2:20 am

sounds wonderful! *sigh*

2:20 am

yours is closer to reality, jilli... mine closer to how he wanted to picture himself, I think. Isn't that a great website on the whole thing?

bye all

Hi folks! Dang, I missed Sprite?

I´m at work but the neighbor office´s volunteer didn´t turn up so I´m watching her office while she goes to see a client.

Hello!

How are you?

Phantom: suture

Doing OK now. Back is still a problem but the food poisoning is over. How are you?

I am eating dinner and enjoying my self

Good for you! What are you having?

Cow

Its restaurant night

Yummy. Prepared in what way and hacked off which bit of the critter?

Um I think its porterhouse mine is medium rare his is blue

Oh yumm!!!

we have one night which is good qulity food

We should start doing that.... It'd make the butcher downstairs happy!

Wow, I could get used to this office. The chair is comfortable, the place is clean and orderly, and teh computer works really well!

Just one night

One night per week, month, or ever?

Just one night a fortnight or a week if you can afford it

what does "blue" mean in regards to a cooked steak?

Blue:Hi grill nice to meet you bye now

gotcha

Cooked on a hot pan for 2min

my friend's mom was once conway twitty's waitress at a steakhouse

and when they asked him how he wanted his steak done he said "oh, just wipe its ass and drag it on in here"

Aha, the "show the cow a match"method!

Oh that's funny, Josh!

Yep Awesome Josh what is he like?

she says he was as nice as any celebrity could be

Monkey we spend about $50 a week on food

At the moment we're very much in the same boat. Tonight is "get creative with the ground beef and pork mix"night. I'm thinking some fsort of koftes.

Monkey do you have the Chinese Dumpling raps?

If we're lucky, when Danny gets paid right befor Xmas our account can be over 0 for a day or so.

I need to get some. If you're thinking potstickers, did them last week.

But maybe tonight I'll go samosas...

they make awesome Raviloi cases

Oh, VERY nice idea! I'll do that soon.

how is internet not found in the dictionary....or have i spelt it wring

I have 101 million mince ideas

wrong

Enable dictionary is very cantankerous, squidgy. Could be it thinks it has to eb capitalized.

Always open for new mince ideas just now....

Made some pretty good Hawaaian sweet and sour meatballs recently.

If I suddenly disappear, by the way, it'll be because my boss was crazy enough to think he should hold the boring and useless "how'd last week go" meeting in here so I can attend.

Monkey: www.allrecipes.com or http://www.mealopedia.com/ which has changed since i played with it

Oh cool, thanks!

they work well

Squidly Enable sucks and blows some times

Phantom: crenelate

there is too many cl phantoms

You mean like clarity? Yup.

yep. I am watching Army Wives. ANd wondering were my 90210 went

Hmm. Neither is really my cup of tea.

Here's the lady from thios office back. Bye all!

I am a bit irrated as they brought one episode and took it off

Hi, morning. I'm here - just into the grid.

4:48 am

good morning ladies

Trying not to be distracted by the chat :-)

4:48 am

how is the grid today?

4:49 am

303 words doesn't seem possible from first glance

Good in parts

4:50 am

internet isn't a word

4:50 am

hmmmm

Hi. A freezing morning here.

Enable does that

4:50 am

cold here too Sally

Its nice here

Where are you jacq?

4:51 am

londonish

4:51 am

you?

Shropshire. Brrrrr! 750 ft above sea level, so well frosted. Thick ice in bird bath etc.

4:52 am

ouch

yeach cold

4:53 am

my daughter says it was -7C this whole weekend

Ancient fleece and unflattering woolly hat to do chickens this morning (8.30ish)

4:53 am

back home i mean

Eek. -7C IS cold!

Who came every word i try doesn't exsist

4:54 am

nnods, north east coast of scotland

Herein - perhaps you are making them up?

well i think they exsist

Sally is that your Pretty Kitty?

4:55 am

internet exists

It does

I find it irritating (caution here) that the past tense of one word ending in T is allowed, but one very close to it is not - but common spelling in English.

Herein - yes, one of my pretty cats

Such unusual markings. Looks like you dipped the tail in black paint

4:57 am

Sally i think i know the word you mean lol

Not guilty. We found the two of them abandoned in our log store, only a few weeks old and not even weaned.

OH Sally. If you look at my icon you will see my Flickr set Pandora is my rescue. Palm sized when she was found

Will look in a min. One of mine weighed only four and a half ounces - like a starving little bird in my hand.

Had to wiper her face for her and everything <g>.

oh poor baby. One of the installers at my b.fs work found a bag of kittens in the lot next door to his work. Sadly all but one was dead. I hope that person goes to a special layer of Hell were they are allergic to fur and its surrounded by cats and dogs that pee in their shoes

Oh, lovely white cat! We had one that used to lie on his back like that.

5:02 am

have to go do the housewife thing for a bit, be back later, happy babbling, and cute kitties ladies

She is a dear

Thanks Jac.

I had steak for dinner so i am not hungry

6:10 am

yes yes,i used for my cam at least :)

6:10 am

we did have a lot more chickens, but then it turns out we had a weasel in the neighborhood - boo. It could have been a little more discretionary at least, and eaten the bitchy menopausal chickens, but no - it took the lovely rooster, and some of the younger hens.

Did you get the weasel for soup?

6:11 am

nope. poison

Ooh, just looked at the bacon pancakes. Yummy. Will try that some time.

Where my parents live there is no feral foxes or cats to worry about

6:12 am

mmm i think a turdkin is a bit much even for me:/

Poor weasel

6:12 am

geesh, 303 words today, huh? figures. I have a ton to do today, and can't spend as much time on line as I would like. but the idea of NOT finishing a grid! horrors.

We have foxes, and feral cats. But I think the chickens are too big for the cats.

6:12 am

trif,ive finished exactly 4 grids since i have started

6:12 am

It's hard work Trif but doable

6:13 am

Oh I'm sorry I watch out for the snots ! I have to beware of hawks they try to fly off with one once in a while!

Wow

6:13 am

herin, i would have agreed with you, poor weasel, but he really was a little psychopathic creature = tore the necks out of the chickens, and then just ran away

77 T words fffft

6:14 am

they are blood thursty,little vampires!

6:14 am

fireworks, phew that was tough

Yah BFS

6:15 am

Congratulations bf!

6:18 am

All this food talk has made me hungry brb

6:20 am

6:20 am

fm can you grab me a coffee?

6:20 am

thanks

6:20 am

The vowel words in this grid are poopy. The consonants too.

6:21 am

lori, honey, did you eat today? :)

6:21 am

Jeez, you guys are making my bowl of Rice Krispies completely unfulfilling. Stop

6:22 am

crossy hands lori a omelette

6:22 am

'Yer sposed to eat daily?

6:22 am

Thanks cross. I love omelettes.

Apparently but if i clock up 2 meals its a good day

6:22 am

Are you feeling more betterer? Ill effects becoming a distant memory now?

6:23 am

cross that is

6:24 am

not to overshare, but I am finding one of the rather good parts about getting dumped is the mindless weight loss = not being able to eat does make the pounds melt off....

Trifs that is not good

6:26 am

trust me, I've seen oversharing here, and well, 'yer not even close..... :D

6:26 am

looool yes

6:27 am

not in the long term, no, but i am looking for silver linings where i can find them. I only felt bad the other day when tertiare asked me "mommy, why don't you eat anymore?" had to pretend to eat something then....

6:28 am

Long as you're in charge of it, and it's not in charge of you, it'll be fine.

OH Trifs that breaks my heart it really does. Do it for the kids and teach them right

6:28 am

lr

6:28 am

i am sure i will be fine = let me drop a few more, okay?

these bleeping T words dont exsist

6:29 am

G'd morning tc

6:29 am

just a few more trif then thats it,i NEVER let anyone alter my life for the worse like that

6:30 am

my favorite saying is"the best revenge is living well"

6:30 am

except that it is rather good - i needed to lose a few pounds, and, whilst the "despair diet" isn't one I would recommend, at least I am getting something good out of this mess

6:31 am

she's a lady, cross, losing weight is always good not bad!

6:31 am

and hey - I've met all you - that's a good thing!

Ok Back. Milk and soy milk obtained.

nature

sod sorry about that

6:31 am

and...pb for herin!

6:31 am

I left some eggs in it for you

6:32 am

There's a kazillion phantoms in this grid.

SOrry it wasn't a T word

6:32 am

well, there is a kazillion words, so that figures

Thank you herein :-)

6:33 am

but lose weight not for sadness,lose wight so you can look all foxy and hot in that new dress and go out and get some rock hard body builder to parade around lol

6:33 am

yes, cross, that is, in fact, my plan

Glad to help

these T words never end

6:37 am

good monday morning all :)

6:37 am

okay I got the y word that is where the scouts sleep in the snow. is the other one a complete weird word, or something sort of within the realm of normal?

Hi Jor

6:39 am

the y word is where scouts live in the snow. I thoght it is where the Mongolians live?

6:39 am

morning bichon - well, it is what primo sleeps in in the snow, which is how I know the word....

The other y word - just add a vowel to the y4

6:40 am

yank you yally!

6:40 am

food time! back to get my last 527 words later. That's what it feels like anyway!

6:40 am

6:41 am

it's what I call my children - primo, secondo, and tertiare

THat is cute Trifs and which one is Emo/goth?

6:41 am

started doing it when they were sprogs, so we could discuss them in their presence without them knowing it, and it just stuck. Primo is emo - how cute is that?

oh dear

6:43 am

btw, I TOTALLY scored him a faboo christmas gift yesterday - a purple and black striped hoodie, with jack skellington on it. Bonus points - it's reversible! happy jack on one side, sad jack on the other. he is going to loooooove it - and bonus for me, the purple side is a nice break from the constant black

one year i started mine at NOON on the 24th,drove 1 hour to the nearest big mall,shopped for an hour till they closed early,drove like a mad man back to town and made it to the local dollar store with ten minutes to spare and grabbed stocking stuff and wrapping paper,forgot the tape,made it to a convienience store with 5 minutes to spare and got some exceeding expensive tape and fell in the door to my place at 8 p.m:)

Smalls - underwear

7:09 am

My kids are 23, 21 and 19. My carpet is over 15 years old, smelly etc so we bought tile, putting it in next weekend and told them MERRY Christmas. I am soooo excited about the tile.

Nice Jor

7:10 am

we would love tile,our carpet is now 17 years old:/

I like tile. did you get the non slippy kind? Otherwise be careful coming in from rain.

Nice, jorj! :o) Are you doing the work yourself? We're in the planning stages of enlarging a closet-size bathroom and want to tile.

Living in a rental our carpet is gross

7:11 am

Yup I did!! Trying to think ahead to our older older years and make everything safe etc. My hubby and his friends will install it. He has become very good at it... just finished a walk thru and utility room and half bath... well not just been about 8 mos now

Opps I didn't realise that was a word

ah undies herin

Yep Undies Nonnie. I bought him the Bourne set hid it there

books or dvds?

Left for a minute.. Trifioso...actually it was a knitter I was thinking of...thought she lived in Kingston...ah, Plymouth!

7:13 am

We have the masterbedroom to go but gonna put hard wood flooring there. Our house was built in 1952 and we removed all the carpet in the bedrooms that already excited plus the dining room and the most beautiful original oak floors ever!

DVD's 3 disc set with a 4th disc in a tin. I am also hoping to buy the Star Wars encyclopaedia for him too. (if i get money)

OH JOrg lovely. I love wood

7:14 am

its amazing what stunning hard wood floors you find buried under carpet jorja.there was a big carpet phase in the 60,s and early 70 as well as putting tons of paint over hard wood dorr frames;(

Isn't is amazing what people covered up years ago. We did the same after we moved in and found pine flooring. Some was salvagable.

OH someone left this hard wood (dark wood solid) broken mirror frame at a demolition site and I took it. Its a simply amazing piece.

7:16 am

gotta go do the bus stop shuffle = back soon!

bye bye tri

7:17 am

I Know exaclty what you mean about the 60's and 70's lol. the last layer linoleum (sp) in the dining room was mint green with flecks of gold in it and it was put down with some kind of black tar...

Drive safe Tri

7:17 am

oh god...

OH what about Fuzzy wall paper?

7:17 am

acck! fuzzy wall paper! run!!

ahhahaha we lived in a rental once with red/gold flocked wallpaper. I could never relax in there.

7:18 am

it was awful! Nope BUT one of the bedrooms did have pin stripe Lime green wallpaper and I am telling you you would get dizzy looking at it... and one bedroom was red white and blue eagles wallpaper

OH come on you must remember that wonderful fuzzy stuff

7:18 am

bean bag chairs,8-track tape players,a wet bar in every room, and a ping pong table;((

My friend has a 70's house and its awesome. they have a red wall with fuzzy flower swirl thingys

I love ping pong.

Does he have a black light herin?

7:20 am

Daddy never would let us have bing bag chairs, mom was a recovering alcoholic but we did have the 8 track and ping pong tables lol

nup

7:20 am

if i ever sat in a bean bag chair now ,i would need a surgeon or at the very least a prying stick to get back oit;)

7:20 am

right there with ya lol

I would love to get my bean bags filled but at about $100 to fill them um no

lol crossy...I'd just roll on out.

7:21 am

herin...fill than with that sillica cat litter,no smell and it lasts forever

7:21 am

brb

i think thats expensive to

Is that stuff heavy?

7:22 am

packing peanuts?

peanuts! that should work.

Yes I would but i think its all too dear. My dad used to get it free from work

7:22 am

mm dried lentils?

7:23 am

m+m,s!! lol

Id eat them :D

7:23 am

they melt in yer mouth,not on yer tushie;)

m&ms and you could snack while you relax

Not if they are blue the blue ones are evil

7:24 am

blue m+m,s are evil? i did not know this

it pays to try the "er" on just about any word. Some words are words that I didn't know where wordws.

Yep.You put them babies in your hand and they melt and leave blue stains

where = were

well i got to 165 before looking at more words

7:34 am

mornin babblers :)

Hi EEva

7:34 am

howdy eva

7:35 am

how goes it?

7:35 am

up to my eyeballs in snow as usual;/

I have a twitch from the 77 T words and yourself?

7:35 am

lol herin,im still doing the t words

:( dont like them chucks a tanty

I cracked at 160 odd to more words

7:37 am

crossy dont do tantys..but he does vent his spleen over the t,s

it makes me feel better

7:39 am

im throwing a bit of a tantrum myself, just because i had a 4-day weekend, and now i hafta be back at work. :(

Yuckie

OH and im very proud of myself

7:41 am

plus, BF was being a stupid-head yesterday, so i was feeling rather sulky on my lady day back before work...

7:41 am

morning everyone

7:41 am

OMG just got back from the bus stop, and it is a good thing too! my reading light from Ikea had fallen off the back of the headboard and onto a pillow and burned a hole STRAIGHT through! Oh,just imagine - what if I hadn't come back here??????

7:42 am

scary, trif

opps and eeps Trifs Hi jess

7:42 am

very dangerous trif

7:42 am

scary, but very lucky timing!

stupid question but why did you leave the light on?

7:43 am

what type of bulb do you use in it trif?

7:43 am

wow. just wow. Okay - gotta focus. Kids dispatched, dog fed,and then emptied, literal fires extinguished - ME TIME. Pure undulterated bablling....

7:43 am

the 13 w energy saver "pig tail" bulbs run cool so we use them for that very reason

7:44 am

ummm - not sure crosss. just the little bulb that came with it. I really love it, because it casts such a nice light right where I read, but it does get really hot - i knew this before today.

Trifs silly goose shouldn't have left it on

7:44 am

try a pig tail bulb trif will ease your mind

7:45 am

herin - I didn't realize it was on - it is sort of a rubbery goose neck thing, and it twisted itself down and in to one of the big puffy pillows on the back of the bed

7:45 am

or a l.e.d reading light

7:45 am

anyway - guardian angel working overtime today!

7:45 am

indeed!

7:46 am

when our son wes 3,he snuck into our room and knoced over our bedside lamp,which at that time had a 60 w incadecant bulb,he set the matress on fire;(

7:47 am

and, might I just add - tho i know i will have to sit in the pb for this- unadulterated babbling time would be a LOT less guilt inducing if the grid was not screaming "CLEAN" at me! and right in the middle too!

oPPS.

7:49 am

lol we will give it a pass cause of you burning pillow scare;)

Well i have to find more T words before i go to bed. If they are not done im not happy

7:50 am

anyone know if the 9 is in5 + something?

7:51 am

hello hurshy - no, it re

7:51 am

ah, rats

Hi Hurshy

7:53 am

hi

7:53 am

has anyone found words with the -ette suffix?

nup

7:54 am

not i, said the little red hen

im too busy looking for T words

7:57 am

whereas i have no excuse.

7:57 am

did you find the ones that are legal terms?

7:57 am

other than the fact that there might not be any.

sigh yes. I used to stufy loor

7:58 am

hmmm. just trying to help

Ok I have to leave in 15 min... Anyone have any suggestions for a Christmas gift for my big sister 41 yrs, not very happily married with to young boys and no real outside interests?

Trifs im beyond help

7:59 am

gift card?

41? mmmm Day spa treatment?

8:00 am

AMazon? Target?

That Une is probably the best idea. I did it for her B day....

Her husband always does the day spa...

I did target!!!!

8:00 am

get her the twilight series of books - great escapist literature

Ahhhh Tri...I think she might like them!

ok um ask her what she Really wants?

8:00 am

:-)

I have not read but lots of people love it.

8:01 am

heh, im rereading Twilight at the moment. :)

Herin she never wwants anything but Dishtowels.

8:01 am

Redturtle give her lotions and soaps and self indulgence things if I may so rudely jump in.

8:01 am

or, alternatively a DVD of Love Actually - great stuff for someone unhappy in love....

oh.

8:01 am

or local gourmet food store? Trader Joe? World Foods?

May i say these t words are making me think like a sailor

8:02 am

ticket to a show?

8:02 am

tut tut herin!

8:02 am

nono, unhappy in love i HATE watching romantic movies!

they are annoying

8:03 am

Hello all.

8:03 am

hey, scrabbs! Got snow??

Hi Scrabbler. I think I will do another Gift card. She may think it impersonal, btu I am tired of getting dishtowels.

8:04 am

Hello all

8:04 am

herin, can you bake the choc muffin in a mug, or can it only be nuked?

8:04 am

No new snow, and existing snow has begun melting over the last day. But, we will get lots more, thanks to our snow-making machine called Lake Erie.

8:04 am

I like gift cards, then I can get whatever I want

8:04 am

hey, peri!

well they are. I like Jm idea

8:04 am

8:04 am

8:05 am

8:05 am

I have 73 books on my Amazon wish list.

Ok gotta run thanks for all the suggestions!!!!

8:05 am

Bye Red

8:05 am

bye, red!

bye red

8:06 am

a christmas or two ago, i read an article about how even though lots of people like getting gift cards, they are a really bad thing. the nerve of some people!

8:06 am

I watched the movie, Baby Mama, last night--very disappointing.

8:06 am

erf, you don't get the stat boxes anymore after two weeks :(

Scrabbler I have 8 pages of wish stuff at amazon. A friend asked today what i wanted and i said here is my wish list off you go

8:06 am

i told you it wasn't good.

8:06 am

yep, pretty lame, scrabs

No Buggie you don't BUT you can sign up very cheap and fun

8:07 am

No, Buggie, you must go pro after 14 days in order to get full stats. The price is well worth it and is one time only fee.

8:07 am

paying money is fun ? Ô.o

Well yes for this it lasts a lifetime and then some

8:07 am

it's like a lifetime membership, buggie

8:07 am

Yes, but I paid for it via Blockbuster Online so I felt obligated to watch it. I multitasked too.

8:07 am

hmmm, I'll think about it, thanks :o)

And we don't bite

8:08 am

who gets the money, the dr guy?

8:09 am

you don't? oh that's a pity!

Yep but it goes to running the server and stuff

8:09 am

Yes, Dr_God, creator and administrator.

Well i do but I don't know you sorry

8:09 am

Maybe some Babblers are vampires and I don't know it yet.

8:10 am

sc to the pb!

we all know Jac is

8:10 am

Which word???

8:10 am

cr7

8:10 am

Well, TY, hursh.

8:10 am

wahoo, just found the 9 so I'm opening chat ... hi Babblers!

8:11 am

:)

8:11 am

clue for the 9 please

Allo Aloy

8:11 am

Hi Aloy--a clue please, pretty please, with a cherry on top?

8:11 am

hi Aloy

8:11 am

good morning aloy!

8:12 am

hi peri.. it is an re word .. re + you can't fool Mother ******, pl

8:12 am

re9 - add re to na6 and na7

ALoy I am reading a book by Tobsha Learner called Soul and it has your name in it

8:12 am

thanks!

8:12 am

thanks, new words for me

8:12 am

wow, herin.. hope it is a good book!

8:12 am

TY, Aloy and Krysten

8:12 am

there are rather a lot of t's, aren't there?

8:13 am

usually that word has a de in front of it..

Aloyisus I have only read a few pages but its brillant

8:13 am

must write it down so I don't forget.. am always on the hunt for a good read! ty

psstL http://www.tobshalearner.com/soul.htm

has the first ten pages. It made me feel like i was there

8:15 am

I love books that pull me right in within several pages.

8:15 am

phantom = clarity

Its a really good book and so is all her other work

8:15 am

you're close to a wine

8:15 am

well, I will look it up.. forgot how to copy/paste from this page.. control/what?

8:15 am

tx!

um look up her name and book mark it?

8:16 am

bbl

8:16 am

ok, will do !

Ok the book has sex in it but it is really good and in context. Right now im trying to finish harry potter

8:18 am

definitely will do, lol

I don't like books that aren't in context when it comes to romance. There is this awesome premise of novels by on Aussie author but it is so badly written i piffed it half way through

8:21 am

I read about it, herin--historical fiction.

8:21 am

i tend not to like sex in books much, even if it is in context. Mostly because I'm self-centered, I guess. sex is a great activity, I'm very fond; but I don't care to read about these other people having it, because what good does that do me?

With Tobsha's books when i started to read Soul I felt like i was sitting in the peat bog and I could smell the smells

8:21 am

I agree, jess, well, at least I find it distracting to the plot.

Witch of Cologne is good too.

8:21 am

I enjoy historical fiction that is well researched.. fun way to le*** about the past

8:22 am

.. almost wound up in the pb !

8:22 am

I love historical fiction--The Dante Club was WOW! And Year of Wonders too.

Jes that is like me. I find it has to be in context.

8:23 am

big puzzle!

Don't be a cry baby lol

8:23 am

Yep, Lynn, and so far it's fun.

8:23 am

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

i only have 28 left so pfft

I don't find sex scenes distracting to the plot if it is something that winds its way into it and forms a tapestry in the book its the bodice rippers i don't like (except the historical ones shhhh )

HI Lynn and Kris

hi lady

8:24 am

if i try hard enough, clarinet WILL be in the grid!

8:24 am

Wow, Kris, go go go!

We love to hate each other Scrab lol

8:25 am

herin - do you have a weird t word, te 5 12?

8:25 am

Which T word are you referring to?

8:25 am

the instrument is close to the wine, Une.. did you find the lovely wine?

8:26 am

TY, Aloy, for the wine word.

8:26 am

yup

8:26 am

(-: ok

No thank you

And of course with 25 left , Mama's Boy is fussing lol

8:28 am

8:28 am

8:28 am

bye, scrabbs!

8:28 am

lol come bring him!

come get him

8:28 am

bye, scrabs

8:28 am

bye scrabbler

Have a good day Scrabbler

8:28 am

good grief . . . 1 inch of snow on its way and schools are closed

8:29 am

bye scrabs - have to say, this big grid thing is frustrating, but good for the ego too - i have 159 words, and no list yet - that's a personal best!

blar to snow day

ARE YOU KIDDING ? closed ?

8:29 am

for 1 inch? where are you that they can't cope with a single inch of snow?

8:29 am

Une,are you kidding? My youngest was in third grade before she saw a snow day! We NEVER get them!

8:29 am

northeast of Nashville

8:30 am

people are NUTS

8:30 am

that makes more sense tho - you probably don't have many plows to deal with snow...

Thanks Trifs

8:31 am

oh, we have plows, but I think in some of these rural areas, the back roads can be narrow and dangerous for buses (i guess)

8:31 am

brb.. need to feed the simians

8:32 am

to be fair, we have the same problems here in Mass with the towns near the coast - if the oceans flood on to the streets nearest the beaches, the buses can't get to those kids, so the whole school closes down.

8:32 am

that makes sense, trif

Oh a person at my b.fs work found some kitties on the lot next to the work. Someone had dumped them in a plastic bag and all but one lived. I hope the person that dumped them goes to a special Layer of Hell were the animals pee in their shoes and they are horridly allergic to them.

8:32 am

that's just crazy, une. i grew up 14 miles out of a little town nobody's heard of; buses ran just fine on winding back roads in the snow. i don't think we ever had a snow day here.

8:33 am

i hope god is a cat, herin

8:33 am

if snow's not totally out of the normal weather, they should know how to cope.

well i never understand people we have so many places you can take kittens its not funny.

8:34 am

esp. this early in the season . . . they need to hang onto those snow days for when they really need them

8:34 am

our vile superintendent is also a harbor master during the summer, so he NEVER grants snow days, even when we need them, because he can't be late for his summer job. Pig.

8:35 am

ugh

RUde

8:35 am

ok, gotta run -- BBL!

8:35 am

bye, une

Bye Uni.

8:36 am

bye une - have a good day, and don't pay full re**** for anything!

I swear these T words are like the Lamb CHop song

well look for it lol

it's all around us

OH dear Unit im sorry your night was crapola

8:44 am

uni, what do you do for work?

thats why i dont work ,too much stress lol

8:45 am

Meh, it's all good - everyone pulled through and though it was almost giddy insanity, all the higher-ups see is the sexy, sexy amount of work we got done...so it's all good in the end *grins*

Lynn, re the na 6/21, someone blurted it into the chat box earlier. (Swap for giving me the re9)

8:45 am

8:46 am

That would be nice to do taht to them too (and put them in a cage)

That would be nice to do taht to them too (and put them in a cage)

8:48 am

i wish i could sometimes

Lets see: kids will always want something when you have wet hands, phones always ring when your hands are covered in baking goo and kids pester you on the loo. That covers it right?

That be it !

Unwritten universal kidlet rule

Off to see to bread

8:52 am

12:29 pm

12:30 pm

I 2nd that Ata

12:30 pm

12:31 pm

Evening all

12:31 pm

I wanted tenrec too :)

12:31 pm

Hi FM!!

12:31 pm

* What did the cork say to the bottle? * If you don't behave yourself, I'll plug you.

12:31 pm

hi fm!

12:32 pm

Hobbit isn't very well :(

12:32 pm

LOL BR

12:32 pm

Hi cait hope you are well Hey Ata, oh what up with her?

12:32 pm

Hello, peoples.

12:32 pm

Oh, BR. Uhg.

12:32 pm

Oh Ata whats wrong

12:32 pm

idiot husband fed her grapes

12:32 pm

Oh, BR. Uhg.

12:32 pm

What's wrong with Hobbit? =(

12:32 pm

Hi Vi

12:32 pm

Vi :) !!

12:32 pm

Uh oh. Best wishes for an early recovery!

12:33 pm

Uh oh. Is Hobbit not digesting them properly? Grapes aren't toxic to dogs, are they?

12:33 pm

she's been all floppy and sick

12:33 pm

Have you taken her to the vets

12:33 pm

How are you, FM?

12:33 pm

awe, hope she is back t obouncy soon

12:34 pm

yes. they are. grrrrrr. but she only had a few, and I checked what dosage can cause problems, and she's way under that. I think she just has a owie tummy

12:34 pm

Im okey dokey ta :)

12:34 pm

Poor thing (stupid husband) hope she is better soon

12:34 pm

Hello! Oh dear, Hobbit ate GRAPES? I'm glad it wasn't above the toxic dose! They can cause kidney failure!

12:34 pm

I know. I'm *cross*

12:35 pm

Hi MG

12:35 pm

Don't give dogs onions either, for the record.

12:35 pm

nor garlic

12:35 pm

Please keep us posted, Ata!

12:36 pm

I hope you told him that John would never do something as stupid as that

12:36 pm

I know onions, garlic, tomatoes, chocolate. First I've heard about grapes.

12:36 pm

people food in general is not good for dogs

12:36 pm

I didn't know about tomatoes.

12:36 pm

I didnt know about onions and garlic

12:36 pm

John's dog probably has its own na5/14.

12:36 pm

Except meat. They love meat!

12:36 pm

oh there goes the timer in the kitchen, nice to see you guys, TTFN

12:37 pm

I think she's feeling a bit better now. Earlier on as a test I put down an empty ice cream container, which she'd normally pounce on and carry off in triumph to lick clean. She just *looked* at it. But 10 minutes or so ago, she slunk in and sneaked it away. So I think she's recovering

12:37 pm

The blood thinning effects are too strong in dogs, Caitlyn.

12:37 pm

FM see you soon, take care

12:37 pm

OH GOOD!

12:37 pm

Oh noooo, bye, FMMMMMMMM!!!!!

12:37 pm

What about raisins?

12:38 pm

Oh dear my dog loves garlic bread

12:38 pm

Also bad.

12:38 pm

raisins too, judi. bad bad bad

12:38 pm

Dogs love all kinds of things that aren't good for them. Kind of like people.

12:38 pm

What kind of dog, Caitlin? Because there's a weight ratio to bear in mind.

12:38 pm

That stands to reason. They're just dried up grapes. Must tell hubby that.

12:39 pm

She is a cross lab and we are not sure the other bit, but she is big!!

12:39 pm

and tehre's just being sensible. a dog isn't going to keel over from a tiny bite of chocolate. but it's still not good.

12:39 pm

There does seem to be some Babble lag today. Must be because of the large grid.

12:40 pm

cait, hobbit has spag bol sometimes, and I try to pick out the onions and garlic, but she always gets one or two and it hasn't done her any harm

12:40 pm

I would stop giving it to her but yeah, a big dog with a small amount isn[t going to have problems except right away (which clearly isn't the case) or otherwise ill-- which is why you should stop giving it to her.

12:40 pm

I'm tired of re words

12:40 pm

Everytime I cook a roast dinner I have to cook extra veggies because she cant get enough of them, is that wrong?

12:40 pm

that's good!

12:41 pm

I do the same. As long as it's healthy stuff, I always cook extra for Hobbit

12:41 pm

Veggies are good. In the wild they eat the stomach contents of what they kill, and that's usually plant matter.

12:41 pm

But we know when she has had sprouts !!LOL

12:41 pm

I'd rather she ate fresh food when possible than canned gloop!

12:41 pm

I know carrots and potatoes are okay for them. As are peas, beans, legumes.

12:41 pm

LOL I bet!!

12:42 pm

and broccoli. dogs loooooooove broccoli

12:42 pm

Saskia has diet issues (her skin breaks out something hideous), so she's on a salmon-and-rice dry food.

12:42 pm

Lucky Saskia

12:42 pm

Pro=Plan sensitive, to be exact.

12:43 pm

Hobbit's funny, you offer her a piece of roast meat and a stalk of broccoli ... she'll take the broccoli first

12:43 pm

Hobbit likes proplan too

12:44 pm

Oh, Judi, so's you know, I have received your e-mails and we will take care of our end right away. Thank you so much!

12:45 pm

We went through about 9 foods with Saskia. Even lamb makes her break out. And chicken, and beef, and pork... and corn and fillers... then this salmon one finally worked.

12:45 pm

Cool, Monkey. You are most welcome. I'm so excited for you to receive the package!

12:46 pm

And, I'm very glad it turned out to be on the lower end of my postage estimate!

12:46 pm

it's always just finding the one that works, whatever that one may be

12:46 pm

Dogs are normally okay on chicken my neighbours dog always eats fresh chicken

12:46 pm

Not as much as Danny is. It's his Christmas present, and immensely more than I was going to spend-- but collectors and their items, you know. Had to do it.

12:46 pm

Me too, Judi.

12:47 pm

Yup, but Saskia has Issues.

12:47 pm

ahhh Issues

12:47 pm

We will drink one, and he will then make arrangements to trade a couple of the others for the couple of previous-years ones he doesn't have on the shelf, and he'll keep a couple.

12:48 pm

Uhgh. Animals and "issues". I have to give my poor cat five different meds every day. Some meds he has to take 1 in a.m., one in p.m. Congestive heart failure. (He's getting lots of leftover turkey too).

12:48 pm

poor baby!

12:48 pm

I need 3 more 8's - have el, en, in, ne, re x 4, ro

12:49 pm

Yes, Ata, a number of them. So we're glad we got her instead of someone aiming for the show ring. She'd never have taken to that life. But her father was Benelux champion several years running,a nd her mother too, and multiple family members...

12:49 pm

Poor thing, Im sure he is so lucky to have you as his carers

12:49 pm

there's an el*??

12:49 pm

or is anyone playing the grid??

12:50 pm

grid?

12:50 pm

Ouch, Judi! Saskia has a narrow vertebra in her neck, usually called Wobblers, and is one of the about 2% that don't degenerate to euthenasia levels after a few months. She may need steroids when she gets older though.

12:50 pm

yes krysten

12:50 pm

LOL wild

12:50 pm

crap...this grid sucks!

12:50 pm

I know it doesn't compare to our pets, but ...

12:51 pm

And she's shy enough that she hides behind Walter if someone tries to greet her, but social enough to follow that person and poke him or her in the butt... then run back to behind Walter if they look at her.

12:51 pm

Silverclaw had horrid food issues for a year or so, everything we fed her, she just threw straight back up. Eventually *eventually* we found something that she seems to be able to keep down, at least 9/10 times. hurray!

12:51 pm

Yay! What is it?

12:51 pm

In extreme cases like that, by the way, human baby foods often do the trick.

12:51 pm

Hills Prescription diet, i/d type - it's for irritable stomachs

12:52 pm

Yeah, that's a good one.

12:52 pm

tried that, tried kitten food, you name it,I tried it!

12:52 pm

Gotcha.

12:52 pm

bloody expensive, but worth every penny

12:52 pm

Eukanuba makes a sensative stomach kibble as well.

12:53 pm

High price definitely trumps cleaning up barf.

12:53 pm

a lot of people do now, but they weren't sensitive enough apparently. this one is some super-wonderful super-sensitive stuff!

12:53 pm

and on every other food, I was cleaning up barf 3 or 4 times a day. every day.

12:53 pm

The things we do for our furry loved ones.

12:54 pm

hi all. could someone clue the re6/18 next to the rehammering, please?

12:54 pm

I know. It's stupid really!

12:54 pm

Likewise here with the previous foods we tried for Saskers. Only every couple of days, but she IS a Great Dane...

12:54 pm

Tell me about it Judi !!

12:54 pm

i keep seeing kitties in the store + i wanna get one! and then it makes me think of the kitties i had + how i never had time + wasnt being a good enough mommy to them... *le sigh*

12:55 pm

awwww eva

12:55 pm

Poor Eva. Some day.

12:55 pm

hi skooj they're not playing ... they're chatting about pets

12:55 pm

and I don't have it either or I'd help you

12:55 pm

ok, thanks wild.

12:55 pm

we have 2 lizards right now...and theyre not NEARLY so cuddly...

12:56 pm

next to? before or after?

12:56 pm

No! I'm doing both. Honest!

12:56 pm

What kind?

12:56 pm

12:56 pm

Lizards make nice shoes and purses...

12:56 pm

thx, bethn...got it.

12:56 pm

yw

12:56 pm

we have a Bearded Dragon + a Mali uromastyx

12:57 pm

*hides lizards from judi*

12:57 pm

They do, Judi, but reptile labour is illegal now so monkeys are doing it.

12:57 pm

Oh NICE, Eva!

12:57 pm

lol

12:57 pm

Of course, I am opposed to lizard labor, so I don't buy those things.

12:59 pm

I have to go to the kitchen now, see you all tomorrow, bye

12:59 pm

bye cait

12:59 pm

Anyone want to hear my ridiculously long story about my supremely crappy day? Great conversational material, I know.

12:59 pm

our mali is a little turtle-faced cutie

12:59 pm

ohhh go on then!

god, i just got the el8 - what a dumb word

12:59 pm

Phht. Someone should tell our City Council that reptile labor is illegal. They would have to fire our City Administrator then.

12:59 pm

go ahead mg

i am 3 from my goal of 250 before listing

1:00 pm

good luck with that josh

Started out with Walter pulling a power trip: I asked which way he wanted to go to school, and he shouted, "Do not ask me that!" so I said that I would have to choose which way if he didn'. He said yes. SO of course I picked "the wrong way", and delivered a livid and crying boy to school. But that is all of course par for the course at this age and I remained sanguine with a touch of "well it's your own fault" throughout. He cheered right up after I left, of course.

1:00 pm

how old is Walter again?

Then at work my boss sang along wioth all my radio tunes, only off key, two words off, and in Dinglish. And loudly. Later, I left work and after half a block the bakfiets (cargo trike, and my only means of transportation) suddenly just went to deep, deep sand mode and made a kerchunk-scrape-clang noise every revolution. I got off and found that the back tire wasn't flat-- it had suffered a total separation. Both ends of the inner tube were sticking out of the outer tire at completely different locations. Further inspection revealed that part of the brake pad assembly had come loose and jammed itself between the outer tube and the rim. I have absolutely no idea whether it is just loose or actually broken, but I do suspect the former-- nonetheless I am not sure if it's even worth finding out, what with the whole axle assembly already rocking back and forth and all, already a sure sign of imminent no-work-anymore-ness. It might just mean spending a whole lot of money to use the bakfiets for a couple more weeks. As some may recall the best bakfiets people in the province have told me not to try to get it repaired anymore, it's too far gone.

Walter is 4.

So I started pushing it. As fast as I could go. After half an hour I had made the train station, and I realized there was no way I could go on with my back the way it is, and further that even if I could I would never be on time to get Walter-- I had 20 minutes. So I started to call my neighbor Sarah, intending to ask her if she could call Jennifer, who lives by the school and whose number I do not have, and ask her to get Walter and take him to her house. It rang once and my phone went black. I knew my battery was low but it hadn't been beeping so I had no idea it was THAT low! Anyway, then I had no access to Sarah's number even if I could borrow a phone, so I had no choice and I took a taxi (E10) to Walter's school. Then we walked home from there. It took an hour. Then I found that Saskia has chewed up my rarest orchid (the miniature Phalaenopsis). I do not think I can save it, but of course I will try.

There are other details like I decided to bring the work orchid home to save it and so had a heavy glass pot with me, and also that I decided not to go out of our way to see if we could get a bus to Overveen (near home) but then when we were almost to Overveen that bus overtook us-- and AS IT PASSED US one of its tires blew out! That was pretty darned scary, I tell you.

1:02 pm

oh nooooo. what a day!

And that's my day.

1:03 pm

ohmygod, monkey! poor you!!!

1:03 pm

wow mg ... you need a break!

Thanks. For his part though, Walter was absolutely charming and helpful and understanding for the rest of the day.

1:04 pm

is your day over mg?

1:04 pm

Damn, Monkey! That is a 10 on the suck-o-rama scale. Best just to crawl into a hidey hole with some narcotics and alcohol and call it a day.

1:04 pm

good for Walter

I do. And I will get a break in 7 weeks when I get through school and have my degree. I intend to take a whole week off before seriously looking for work.

Yes, Wild, it's 8 p.m., Walter's asleep, and we are going to watch something Very Funny soon... don't know what yet though.

1:05 pm

not trying to top you monkey ... but I woke up at 4:15 a.m. with a phone call to find out my daughter is in jail today

1:05 pm

wild! oh no!

Oh no! Why?

1:05 pm

apparently a fight with her bf turned ugly and he called police

1:05 pm

OH NO, wildcat! That is ugly!

1:05 pm

I stayed home from work to deal with it

1:05 pm

haven't heard anything so far

Oooh, no!!!! My sympathies! How old is she?

1:06 pm

22

1:06 pm

By the way, Monkey - very funny about the Dinglish singing. Painful for you, but amusing.

1:06 pm

that part is funny

1:06 pm

thx I'm a little beside myself today

Yes, I have 15 more hours there at my unpaid residency... then I will SO see the humor!

Of course you are!!! Oh dear! I wish I could help...

1:07 pm

you're almost done mg

1:07 pm

hello all how many words today

It's all a loathsome slog now, Monkey, but it will be soooo worth it when you're done.

It will especially if I get the one job... they have no openings now but I can send an open letter. Found my ideal workplace, within the sphere of a social work degree.

1:14 pm

that's great mg - hope it works out for you

Thank you. It'd be doing guidance work at an art studio for people who have suffered a brain injury.

1:14 pm

*Fingers and toes crossed*

Thanks!

1:15 pm

when will you know?

That's a completely open quastion. This week I will send my CV and the open letter, then as soon as there's an opening they will evaluate me.

1:15 pm

Ugh. The Babble lag seems to be getting worse. Maybe it has something to do with being "Cyber Monday."

I'll probably need to work through temp agencies for a while first.

But, how do you know what the score of a word is?

1:34 pm

a + french flower f**** + put the glass ** the table !

angi, all the tiles have a number on the bottom. for a 4 letter word, just add up all the points on the tiles. for a 5 letter word, add up all the points on the tiles and double it, for a 6 letter triple it, and so on

1:35 pm

how's everyone?

1:51 pm

karys, i really like your icon :)

1:52 pm

cold here jes.... ty !

1:52 pm

jes - sorry to ask, but we were discussing this earlier, how many grapes would a medium sized dog have to eat before getting into real problems?

1:53 pm

uterus = my phantom word of the day.

1:53 pm

dunno. the kidney thing isn't dose-dependent, it's idiopathic. so some dogs could eat whole bunches and have no problem (except may diarrhea) and some dogs have gone into kidney failure after eating 3 - 5 raisins.

1:54 pm

oh ok. ty!

1:54 pm

I didn't know that about grapes

1:54 pm

wow. 3 raisins. that's amazing

1:54 pm

or raisins

1:54 pm

you missed the Hobbit eating grapes debacle earlier, Karys!

1:55 pm

must have done....what happened ?

1:55 pm

probably just give 'em the runs in most dogs.

1:55 pm

bloody husband decided to feed her grapes

1:55 pm

it did. biiiiig time!

1:55 pm

did hubby have to clean up the results?

1:56 pm

aahh...but then you see, I might have done the same, not knowing about grapes, except I tended to avoid things that might cause a choking thing !

1:56 pm

of course not LOL. He was at work. Brat

1:57 pm

that's unfortunate; i'm sorry, ata

1:57 pm

Not really the sort of job you could leave for him til he got back then, was it !!

1:57 pm

oh yes, he had no clue. but he should have done. *sigh* anyway, Hobbit's fine I think. it's just been a rather poo-ey day!

1:57 pm

wish it had been *grumble*!

1:57 pm

make sure she gets lots to drink.

1:58 pm

I have been. and coaxing her into eating some plain rice and chicken. But she just stole some of my icecream, so I think she's feeling better!

1:59 pm

4:09 pm

okay, so obviously I have been in poor shape for a week with the whole hip thing (will blog about it later)... not in top form, but I am CERTAIN that I asked both children Tuesday/Wednesday if they had any projects they were going to need to work on.

4:09 pm

re 9 extends the 8 which adds what you see in the great outdoors

ty br.

4:10 pm

yesterday, just before the elder kid heads out to play in the town parade (school band thing), the younger kid gets "attitude" and doesn't want to go. I couldn't go because I can't walk much yet. So I encouraged him to go...

4:10 pm

turns out he had a project he knew about TWO WEEKS AGO and hadn't even started yet.

4:10 pm

So about 4 pm, they get home and he goes to his room, "grumpy" I thought...

4:11 pm

an hour later he comes out and says.... "Mom, I forgot to tell you about (insert filler) and will you call me in sick tomorrow"

ty BR

4:11 pm

*moving to educator mode* I told him this was a good learning opportunity for him and to just do what he can and live with the consequences.

4:12 pm

nice. did you tell him no, he dug the hole and he can climb out of it?

4:12 pm

*heavy-hearted mama sigh*

4:12 pm

4:12 pm

They were really alright tonight, but I have no real taste in /for food. Hi Annie! I missed you in the morning.

8:37 pm

thanks, une

8:37 pm

at least, at the very least, the ribbon can trigger a curious question from someone who doesn't know what it means, or be a quick little visual reminder to... well, not forget... it's not much, but it's something :-)

8:37 pm

yw pam :-)

8:37 pm

8:47 pm

TRifs when himself was discusing his hurt feelings did you give him a bandaid?

there were a bunch of words in there I'd never expected to see in a grid

naw, poor kitty was a foster kitty in my friend's rescue org.

9:38 pm

hey smiles!

I'm only here for maybe 30 mins, but I can clue while I'm here

Hi Smiles

9:38 pm

kitty is going to need psychoanalysis

and to boot hotmail is having a seizure. it's twitching!

LOL, knit. I dunno. cats are such egotists it's probably persuaded itself that was an hallucination

knit: have you ever owned a cat?

i mean, it would swear the foster moom needed the shrink

DOnt ever laugh at a cat

9:39 pm

i have one drapped across my laptop helping me find words TO

except for the ones that are long-suffering child lovers

9:39 pm

tyger, I am completely and utterly stuck on the last tr 6.18 ----> this of course means its an idiot word that the drunk cat in the tutu could have found....clue please????

they already think humans are insane

I had one of those from age 9

I laughed till i cried at the cat the other day for falling off the coffee table

9:40 pm

any particular T clues you need - too many to choose from

THE CAT WAS NOT DRUNK! the foster owener was...

tr6/18: Hurricane Ka***** + upright cons

ok peeps - owl out! hang in there trif!

herin, did she pretend it never happened?

9:41 pm

wow, thanks - I was completely off the mark there....

9:41 pm

and a hearty ty to the drunk cat for the tr 6

Later TO

yvw, both

9:41 pm

whenever you on the mark tri? must have missed that

Tyger no as the b.f held her and said it was ok i was a meany. Yesturday when she fell of the ledge she gave me the 'dont laugh at me face''

9:42 pm

ha ha knitter - I finished my t's - how are YOU doing?

9:42 pm

i am proud to say that i have found 83 words !

well, she remembered you laughing at her the last time. cats NEVER forget insults (or what they think of as that)

vg, knit

9:43 pm

i just started, just got home

9:43 pm

and the R's are DONE!!!

Its all fair in love and war in this house. She gets me back in her own way

good start. my start last night went well, too I had 100 words in about an hour - an all-time record for me, lemme tellya

yah Pini

I know, herin. she chews on your toes

9:43 pm

my cat just moved to the arm of the chair he is irritated by my typing -- well excuuuuse me!

Hello pretty kitty.

pini, hi, had a pie break. back now. can you help with a tu?

knit, don't you know you're supposed to ignore the PC and pet him?

Tyger she swipes me when i go past and plays tag or just waits till im in the shower and then poops in her litter box (its in the same room as we dont have a laundry to speak of)

LOL, herin. that way you have the bath "perfumed"

9:45 pm

I have a few...but not many...what do you need, I'll do what I can...

9:45 pm

i was petting him as i typed he was laying on my hands@

well of course he was, knit. that was your cue to forget the typing! :P :D

9:46 pm

he's heavy (insert whiney voice here)

petting him is MUCH more important (to him) than typing. and he's the most important Being in the house, ya know

How heavy? Mine is about 8 pounds

I believe you, knit. housecats very often are rather heavy :D :D

9:47 pm

15 - ish

big tom, eh?

9:47 pm

he is the "king"

woow

well, at least that doesn't sound like an unhealthy weight

I'm sure all have seen photos of cats almost too fat to breathe

9:48 pm

he is very big - a siamese - they have really heavy bones

Mine got told she was too fat by the vet :(

9:48 pm

oh, hey, knitter, did I tell you? barb's neighbor's cat had kittens lastweek, and primo is getting one for christmas!

I can't understand letting the animal do that - not if you love them

well my cats not fat that is the problem she gets prime food and everything

9:49 pm

oh what a great x-mas gift kitties are great fun. you can tell them all your secrets and they just listen and never tell

toms tend to get rather larger than queens anyway. I've seen toms that weren't really overweight at 20#

9:49 pm

it's a little black one, so guess what he is naming it? Emo! how cute isTHAT?

If the kitty has pumpkin eyes im stealing it

friends used to have a Maine coon. Kitkat wouldn't have been fat at 20#, but he was so active he never got near that

Tell him to name it Snape

9:50 pm

emo! you must get him a red color

9:50 pm

lol lol lol

LOL, herin. the name might evoke a nasty temperament

9:50 pm

Hey, smiles...what are you missing???

ANd EMOS aren't whingy little runts

9:50 pm

do you remember when we were kids you guys had a cat named Who

I've been waiting for miles to post what clues he needs. that's what I'm here for (and the chat, of course)

Snape was loyal to the cause

9:51 pm

Emo is the name of a chain of gas stations in Ireland, and we all just fell about the place, as we passed one that had a little mini mart attached, that was a "cost cutting express" except some of the letters on the sign were out, so it said "emo - cutting express" instead....and yes, I DO remember big old fluffy Who....

hi all

welllll, but think what cause :(

hey, moon

9:51 pm

oh, we have been mooned!

HI Autumn

LOL, trif

9:52 pm

ak-i got a cardigan pattern of knitty.com called mr greenjeans. worked up in no time. take a look if you're interested

and I are one

tyger, I sent you an email about bees. did you get it?

9:53 pm

moon i have seen that one. there was a knit a long for it. do you like it? i was oogling it

We had a cat named ALley as my dad wanted to name it Snert

it's easy, adaptable and fits well

9:54 pm

what or who is a snert?

Snert was the name of Hagard the Horribles dog

9:54 pm

perhaps i should stop oogling and knit it!

snert? do they live in whoville?

9:55 pm

now why did i not remember that - checking brain cells

9:55 pm

oh phooey, i must be off to the showers work tomorrow -- yuck

ak - I knit it with worsted weight and aran weight.

later, AK
