yuk yuk
hi again, gang
lol
hi jilli that was quick
nice ruru
helens -- your cat is like the one next door to me
is it kitty night or something
rur, it's Pet (or Animal) Monday -- I post a list of themes in my profile.
ruru, when are you going to show us Dylan?
maybe dorens can take a picture of him
hi, all, speaking of pets, how do I get our "new" dog to stop chasing our two cats? he seems to think it's a wonderful sport. I know he lived with cats before, so why pick on ours? Poor kitties are upset, and I am, too.
hi rbud -- no idea here!
get a water squirt gun and nail him if he moves
hi rbud that is a problem
heehee, ru, I knew that worked on cats, not sure if it will work on him, but worth a try.
the cats may give him what for after they get tired of it
keep him on lead around the kitties and if he charges stop him and correct him and tell him no
the squirt gun is very effective
is the new dog a puppy?
at this point, I would gladly choke-chain him until his eyes bug out, he's so insistent!
How many words today please
a can filled with (pepsi) pennies can be thrown down to make noise and then you follow with a correction commande
152 gran
Thanks
120 easy ones and 32 hard ones gran
yw and hello
He's about 2 years old, and mostly so far I just rescue the cats and put them out when he's in, and vice versa
what breed is he rbud?
one of the cats has no front claws (not our doing) and that poor thing really roars when he sees the dog.
He's part black lab and part border collie.
we took one of our daughter's cats after she got a dog the cat wouldn't come out from under the bed the other 2 cats were fine
Go get some training in
oh..
he's just trying to herd them rbud
The collie part is trying to herd the cats?
Border collie not collie
snap christine and hi
we've tried him outside on a chain, wasn't working well, put up a kennel, he jumps the fence, put him on a cable with the gate of the kennel open, and he STILL jumps the fence, lol!
The collie part is trying to herd the cats?
our dog chases our two cats.
he's a rounder what's his name?
put him in a crate and let the cats have the run of the house
haha, that would serve him right.
Well, that took a heck of atime to post.
but in the morning the cats come and touch noses with him to say "hello"
our dogs love cats
He's still new here, maybe we'll all get along eventually. He was our daughter's, they had to move and couldn't find a home for him.
His name is Emmett.
he must miss her
you do need to train him.. it will get worse
a good Irish name
Listen to ruru -- he knows dogs
She basically did nothing with him, she's bad about that, one "cute puppy" after another until they get big, then she has no idea what to do with them.
I would never chain a dog.. crate training is better for good results
she should not get dogs
He digs, too, sigh.
they are not disposable toys
(agrees with Jilli)
if he's part collie.. he needs a job...and if you don't give him one..he'll make one up!
agrees with jilli
I agree, too, but try to tell her that...
crate training can solve digging too
curses on the pet shops or breeders who will sell dogs to someone like that
He stays pretty close to here if he gets loose, but of course there's a leash law here.
Wow, I'll need a big crate, he's very tall.
he should NOT get loose
they aren't too expensive... $110 at Petco
We were able to get crates for our adult Great Danes.
giving the cats exercise is one of our dogs jobs. he checks them over and if he thinks they need a run, he chases them. Sometimes they egg him on. sometimes they don't feel like it and refuse to play. LOL I watched him nose Jessa around on a chair one day.. her whole body would spin on the wood, but she just lay there looking at him like "go away"
Excuse me, I don't know you rbud but *please* consider obedience training, herders need a lot of direction and playtime but are wonderful and loyal dogs.
Our little house dog snaps at him like she's as big as he is, he leaves her alone.
they need a job too
hi guys
hi sandy
hey sandy
hi melissamay and sandy
put him to work rbud can he do dishes?
he also will sit with a treat on his nose, like a statue until you say "ok!" he takes that VERY seriously!
hey there jillibus :D
heehee, I sure wish he could, m9!
oops, I mean west...
He's getting so that if we say "go to Gage" he'll run to Gage. "go to Mom" and he'll run to me.
M9's husband does the same trick
I knew that lol
yes!
one of our dogs cuddles the cat , the other humps it - the cat seems to like both
eewwww sandy!! TMI!!!
lol sandy
Don't think there's much around here in the way of obedience training, but I'll look into it. I really think he needs a farm.
I've been collecting wood fromt he restore, I'm going to make flyball hurdles. I think Black would LOVE that!
its the cat in my icon pic, he is very confident and now he is grown up
he's a beauty sandy
if you guys ever knew all the jokes I pass on writing
too cute sandy!
has anyone see my cat-icon writeup?
I have an idea ruru...
steady ruru
I will look now jilli
Thanks for considering it, working herders are happy herders. :D
nice story jilli
I can't relate to border collies.. too skitterish
skittish I mean
My sister just lost her cat Winston. He would have been 20 on Sept 17th. He died peacefully at home.
my Border isn't skitterish at all! He's 1/2 Springer spaniel too.
My goodness, m9!
that sure is old for a cat!
oh jilli what a sweet story and what a beautiful cat
that's a nice long life.. good for her
thanks, sandy.
was she on Feline Security?
our border was the laziest dog I ever came across but most are not
our springer spaniel was named winston too
west, Joy was more beautiful than the picture.
yes. for the last few years she gave him saline injections... that makes them much more comfortable I gather.
he was a perfect gentleman
our ancient calico cat keeled over in our driveway in May, she was nearly 19. The morning of our big annual party, wouldn't you know, with guests all around.
debating whether to post pic of dog..or one of the cats...
calico cat? is that a breed
My anut's cat in England was named Winston until he had kittens. Then s/he became Mrs Churchill.
it's a coloring
lol jilli that's priceless
don't think it's a breed, just a color combination.
goes with gingham dog!LOL
lol jilli
our ruby is a calico
my Susie was a longhaired calico -- gorgeous.
the ram in my photo, used to be in love with my husband and always galloped after his car and jumped in when the door was open
kind of glad the old calico biddy went before this dog made the scene, he'd surely have been the death of her...
animals add so much to life
don't they though
jellen's animals have been such a comfort to her
that is nice to hear
*trying to picture a ram jumping in a car* :D
he wasn't the least bit sheepish about it sandy?
oh, animals can be really sympathetic.
it was so big and it smelt as well! it started butting everyone and so we gave it away
how did the ewes feel about that?
we had one ewe and she loved him, but he loved Bruce
recently saw a little mobile petting zoo packing up, the lady put the smaller cages in her van, then signalled the two llamas - they jumped right up in the back of the van, and then the little burro went right in too, so well trained!
did he have a name?
was the ram gay?
his name was 'rammy' LOL and how cute rbud
yes, I was amazed!
he wasnt gay, he fathered a lamb, but husband was the apple of his eye and he stalked him relentlessly
here's black... does that look like a skittish dog?? http://tinyurl.com/34oldru Or just a happy dog?? LOL
is he wearing a cave man outfit??
oh didn't see the url lol
gorgeous dog m9
thanks sandy! he's beautiful when he's running full out..and leaping over stuff...
great pic, m9! he looks quite happy. :D
oh what a happy boy !!
why black?
have to go bbl
bye sandy
Gage named him when Gage was 2!
I kind of figured that lol
Emmett the cat chaser runs like a greyhound, he loves it. Round and round the yard, super fast.
it's kind of cute how we got Black instead of his brother (who was brown and white)
emmett does need a farm
Smiley Black is gorgeous!
we went to look at the puppies and I had already fallen for Black but didn't tell my husband, because I didn't want to influence him.. he knows more about dogs than i do.
and the brown and white one had a slightly gentler disposition...so he decided that one would be better for our family.. but what he didn't say was that he PREFERRED Black.. he was just trying to make the mature choice.LOL
so he put Gage in his lap and said "would you like to have a puppy??" and Gage looked blank. "you know how we brought Tai Tai home and she's Aiden's cat?? Would you like to take a puppy home to be your dog??" Gage looked blank.
Tim points at the brown dog and says "would you like to have that puppy for your dog?" and Gage says "NO!!!! " and points way across the room "BLACK!!!" LOL
Wow!
and so began a beautiful friendship
over halfway, btw.
gj jilli
would someone clue the de 7 so that I can go to bed?
there are 2
I mean da 7
I have both de 7's
I have what happens when you can't hear twice
da7 is all on right half of grid. and has "not daughter" in it
I decided to go with the kittiness of the chog and made Tai Tai my icon
oooh, what nice blue eyes!
yes rbud.. isn't she beautiful?
she likes crinkly plastic and sings a little song when she finds some.
okay.. night you guys.. good luck with the dog rbud
and WOW ruru...look at those green eyes!
night ruru.
Oh, beautiful, m9!
good night ruru fun seeing you
night, ru, thanks for your advice! :)
I need to refresh can't see her
night ruru xx
what a gorgeous cat m9
thanks jilli. click on my icon west and you'll see her better.
yes.. we got her at the shelter here.
beautiful .. just beautiful
I did still see the caveman dog
I can see the tiny picture
she is my eldest's cat. and we think she may have just a little ragdoll in her.. because she's such a cuddlebum. if you pick her up she just relaxes totally
20 for tomorrow.. see ya
hello all!
sweet dreams ruru
how's the grid today?
nite nite ruru
but since I changed it..if you click on my icon you'll go to my profile and see her MUCH better!
and ... do we have lickety?
hi stid
hi stid!
we have grem
I've been lazing about with pictures.. down to 30 though..
no Lickety, stid
:-D that'll do for now... thanks west
m I refreshed and have clicked on your icon about 5 times and I still see the silly caveman dog
stid grem is a good lister
huh. weird
west, you may have to close babble and come back. That's what I have to do now.
apples and oranges lol
you may have to close and come back
I think so ok bbs
nope didn't work I'll just restart I really want to see her
she is worth seeing!LOL
I went to m9's profile, saw the dog, and clicked F5, it worked, the kitty came right up.
but this is Opera, might be different in other browsers.
so now everyone has seen Black and Tai Tai. I'll have to post Jessa next week.
that used to work for me, rbud, but doesn't any more. No idea why. Also, I had flickr pix in the profile and they disappeared -- can't get them back, nobody knows why.
Ah, Opera. I'm using Firefox.
hey jill!
Hi stid -- finally got your eamil, lol!
or you can look at this for Jessa: http://tinyurl.com/2ad7hap she's prettier IRL, that's not one of my fave photos of her, but it's one i could access quickly.
I give up
I'll post a link then west.
thanks lol sorry to be such a pest
GAH. I tried to send it to everyone, but I guess I didn't do something right. I have been staying up too late, sleeping poorly and being stupid much of the day. I am uploading a short stidkid vid to youtube, then will post it to my blog and go to bed. *proud mama look* he was nominated for TWO awards! :-D
no prob!
Jessa's lovely too, m9!
she's Elina's cat.
congrats to the stidkid !!!
how nice stid you should be proud
we got all three of them within weeks of each other (right after getting our house) All from the shelter here.
YAY!!! a video!!!!
good for you, m9
LOL not very good I am afraid, I have been so turned around that I forgot to ask Tom to be sure the big camera was ready and in the car, so when I ran home between today's shows to get the tickets to the second show (don't ask) I picked up my little camera... *sigh*
We'll get the official video, but of course the final performance is always the BEST one.
guess what! NO re words!
west...see if this works: http://tinyurl.com/36luc5d
m I just saw jessa she's beautiful
well...you know... our family is SO good looking..we HAD to have good looking pets!LOL
and wow that was worth the wait for tai tai
thanks for your patience
that pic makes her fur look light. it's actually darker than that.. she has a lot of smokiness to her look.
your daughters are certainly beautiful girls
tai tai is the Ldy of the House in Chinese, I think.
no prob! I LOVE pictures. Love looking at them... love sharing them... love looking at other people's...
were the cats kittens when you got them?
perfect name she's so royal looking
well her shelter name was Mai Tai.. and that just wasn't going to fly at our house. Aiden was looking for a different name..and Gage couldn't say Mai Tai.. he was saying Tai Tai..so she went with it! and it's a perfect fit for her!
not really kittens. adolescents. Tai Tai is a bit older than Jessa.
Black was just a little puppy though.
do you have another son and does he have his own pet too?
Tai (with tone 2) means "great"... you probably knew that already?
Look at this: http://tinyurl.com/33hol4z
HeWho doesn't want a pet.LOL
60 left and I can't keep my eyes open. Goodnight all! *poof*
well, that's NBT anyway...
although he talked about spiders and snakes at the time we got them...
sweet dreams Jill...
night jilli!
aww and double aww
soulful little face isn't it??LOL
goodnight jilli glad I saw you always a pleasure
lol m reminds me of that song
I don't like spiders and snakes..and that ain't what it takes to love me...
THAT song??
my English friend's dog Buster looked just like that as a puppy he's border collie and huskie
yep that one lol
he's a BIG boy now
belatedly wtg stid on nbt
oops.. missed yer NBT. GJ stid!!!
went to listen to spiders and snakes at youtube... sound isn't working...
thanks all. video is uploaded. the sound quality is not great, and the camera work needs... um, work. But you'll get the idea. *proud and tired mama look*
I am going to go to sleep. check the latest stidmama.com blogpost for the link to the youtube.
thanks stid will do sleep well
oh -- Pooh Bah (my boy) is on the right... *repoof*
my sound isn't working!!! wahhh!
that was awesome !!
I wonder why my sound isn't working...
maybe you need to refresh now
or is it turned down?
all 3 have great voices
no.. and i've run test. I hear sound..just not the sound of the internet video..
I was going to show you a picture of Buster as a puppy but it's a jpg and don't know how to convert it to a url
don't know much
oh and I did get the da7 what kind of word is that?
you'd have to have it uploaded somewhere. is it online...or just on your puter??
just on my desktop now
it
I'll put it in my profile I can do that
it's a pharmacology word
you'd have to upload it as your icon. then I could see it.
gmta lol
this may take a little time
ok
good morning Diann
I may have to update my flash player
here he is
oh cute!!!! they look very much alike!
mine is 1/2 border collie 1/2 springer spaniel
now I'll post a picture of him today
k!
oh wow..he really beefed up!
he's huge has his own bowl at the pub and everything
he's squished in this picture
she was a cat person and her daughter's dog had puppies..a rescue that they didn't know was pregnant
is that a normal dresser behind him?????
good morning all how many words today please
she talked her into taking a puppy and now they are inseparable
152
thanks
I think so
wow. he's huge.
I made her a calendar of pictures of him for her birthday
that's sweet!
so you're a picture freak too?LOL
she loved it
we've been on line friends for 7+ years I'd love to meet her in person one day
wow! I have friends like those too.
it's those digital cameras lol
where is she?
in Surrey
but you didn't actually take the pics then.
I figured it was across the pond... since he has a bowl at the 'pub'!LOL
no, she sends them and I put them in iPhoto
they are so much more civilized over there about dogs
imagine taking your dog into a restaurant?
it's getting better here...with dog parks.. and such...
oh well.. I don't see that happening here!LOL
that's true and there is a bank that's been advertising dogs are welcome
nice!
it's a Canadian bank can't think of the name
ah well.. that's as close to across the pond as we can get without actually crossing the pond!LOL
yes it is
but since you handle her photos so deftly... are you a picture freak//
?
not really this computer makes it easy
ah
I recently built this computer that I'm on right now
now that is impressive
I can transfer the pics off my camera card really fast now!!! yay!!
it's really not that hard. I'd always wanted to try it..
if I had to build my own computer I would still be using paper and pencil
was that you that said you had an LDS boyfriend once upon a time?
no
ah. someone said that as I was running out the door yesterday.
we had a governor once
monkeys aren't finding me the na's
my monkeys are sleeping
I have a friend that lives on RI
whereabouts?
bear
and I know it's small lol
we stayed the night there at her house on our way through a few years ago when we lived in TN
oh wait. she's not on RI
oops.
she's in DE
doh!
another tiny state lol
yup
got them confused there for a mo\
but I remembered when I wrote bear..
Bear, Delaware has a certain rhythm to it!
oh, I wondered
it does !!
are you from TN originally?
no... we were there for not quite a year.
PNW was born into us I guess...couldn't stay awy.
we went through there once on the way to some place else it was pretty
we have a picture over our fireplace of Newport OR
pretty. why?
LOL
went there for a friend's daughter's wedding and fell in love with the place
ah.. who took the pic?
then you understand why we couldn't live far away from here!
it's a painting local artist Mel Vincent
since this place is at the beach we have several waterscapes
oh nice! (I just googled him)
and the week we were there it didn't rain once lol
are you going to the PNW meet up next week?
I would really like to...but I can't justify the gas money... it's pretty tight right now
but you TELL everyone that it rained the WHOLE time...right????
please??
too bad looks like a good group
no I like that the weather was so perfect
oh I get it lol
I met Stid just about a week or two after starting to play here. we met in Vancouver and she went to my daughter's dance festival performance.
that's nice she seems like such a friendly person
as do you
yeah it was great.
which daughter?
my 14 yo
how is her name pronounced? it's as pretty as she is
she brought stidkid #2 and his best friend
is he the tall one?
hello
hi herin
How are you all?
just the normal way..
hi herin!
I am free of houseguests at the moment how are you?
cute pic herin!!
normal as el ee na or el aye na
That is my birth sister and her friend
oh my daughter!! I thought you meant Stid!
that's a great picture
lol
El ee na
Thanks
wow...you're good at keeping track of people!
Well actually thanks for saying that I have no idea as to whom to thank
is that gaelic for elizabeth?
it's pretty nonetheless
the picture that is
D
It's a form of Helen. But actually we got it from someone from one of those little countries I can't keep track of.. keirjekistan or something..LOL
which pic are you talking about?!?!?!?!
herin's icon
ah!
get it off the web?
the picture I saw of Elina is the 'Irish' one
yes! you ARE good at keeping track!LOL
you just shared it a day or so ago
remember I said I'd kill for that hair?
yes.
does she wish it were straight?
still.. I get confused with so many people on here... obviously!
no.
folks in our home are happy with their hair.
they're happy with themselves for the most part.
I used to be on at this time a lot but then I started going to bed at a 'decent' time
that is so good
Herin must be busy looking for words!
she multitasks
My icon is my birth sister and friend. Don't know which one of the ferals is in it
love that description lol
that is very cool!
West even their mum calls them Feral and Errol
whoever took it is very talented
lol
the twins?
Would likely have been one of the 14 to 16 year olds on the beach
Not twins just very close in age. There is 3 of them all names starting with J. I have no idea which is which even though 2 of them are my biological sisters
funny!
do you see them often?
No., THey live too far away
I am adopted andthey found me via fb
I remember that
m9 funny was when the girls were complaining that ''mum was being pyscho'' I told them HA HA I am adopted
yikes!
LOL
that's fireworks for me...
THe girls got told off for running aobut it was their fault
YAH m9
yay m I still have 49 to go
my goal of finishing in 30 minutes went by the way
I was being facetious after chugs 42 minutes
Ok have a very very strange kitty. She likes spicy food
those guys are amazing
you should post a pic of her!!! seems like everyone is doing their kitties today!LOL
she does?
she's gorgeous
they both are
M9 I did have her up hang on
ruby is curled up on the hassock so I can't put my feet up
tee hee...just caught my dd's future mil on fb.. we're BOTH up way too late!LOL
awwww
that a ragdoll cat, m9?
http://www.flickr.com/photos/herdarkmi stress/ M9 these are the babys
no... although i mentioned earlier that we think she may have a little in her!
mart himmy probably..
oh yeah? looks like one, I thought
dunno, face is a bit long for that I think?
part I mean.
more like Ragdoll and Siamese, perhaps??
she's not really big enough to be a ragdoll?
at least that's what Aiden said..
pretty cat though, gorgeous!
maybe! that would explain a lot.
she sings.
well Siamese are smaller cats, could be a cross
do ragdolls sing when they have crinkly plastic??LOL
ha! same here
eh, dunno, never had one!?
same here?? you sing? or have a cat that sings??
no, I do, don't have any cats, ha!
herin I wonder what the kittens would have looked like if they hadn't both been fixed
probably the same, why would they look any different?
is that you Herin?? with the 80's hair?????
Pandora was fixed at about 7 or 8 months. Lucius not sure. If he hadn't been or done after growing he would have been huge
I mean would they be all black or all white or tuxedo cats or...
The new hair pic?
huh?!?!?
it's titled "80's hair"
http://tinyurl.com/36d5y7n this pic?
no idea hang on
Yep that is me
pretty!!!!!!
George some cats are bigger like tom cats if they are entire then snipped
aww Thanks M9. you on Facebook?
I had no idea
someone luvs their kitties!
yes I am. that's where a lot of the pics I've been linking to are.
oh yeah, suppose they can get big if not altered young
Yes I do love the kitties.
I have a hungry cat here so I'll bid you all adieu
George Lucius was found at the pound in January he was born in September. Pandora was found in a caravan with threats of dumping her at the shelter as she was not cute any more
Night West
this will take you to my page...or at least some of it:http://tinyurl.com/34oldru
a pic of my doggie
night west!
awww fluffy. I just friended you
daffodils!
now you can go to my pics!
M9 I have more pics on FB.
then I will check yours out too!! I have daffodils in my flowers album..
I think I need to look at the weather the cat is going nuts
must... resist... showing... my cat pictures...
Hi Din
Hello!
resistance is futile!
you WILL be assimilated!
ok.. I just googled ragdoll siamese mix images.. I think that TOTALLY could be what Tai Tai is. which explains her nature...
cute kitten, Dindrane!
My boy being a pirate: http://dindrane.com/images/cats/pirate marcus.jpg
yeah, m9, thought that's exactly what she looks like!
awwwwwwwwwwwww Dindrane
m9 I am trying to find my guest password for my private account were I have family and friends pics
aww yeah, he's lovely Dindrane, looks like my sister's cat, big fluffy ginger tom!
And my princess: http://dindrane.com/images/cats/Aidan0 51706-tongue.jpg
herin..you were SUCH an adorable baby!!!
hilarious pirate pic!
aww yeah, sweet!
lovely cats!
:D
It's *possible* they are just a LITTLE spoiled.
just a bit, eh?
Maybe.
I'm working my way through the "it's all about me" album.
Thank you M9. I think that Photobucket has done something stupid
yer dressed up as a native american. for what?
My girl, Aidan, will stand on the coffee table and wave her paw at me, which means she wants treats. No noises necessary, just that commanding paw. :p
yeah, cats have people well trained!!
LOL, yep. We all know many tricks!
LOL...your girl Aidan. I have a girl Aiden!
YAY!
she is the human for the cat in my icon
I was 5 and it was MiniHaha no idea of spelling etc or why
yeah, they're super smart animals! they get people to take them in, feed them, clean their litter pans, amuse and entertain them, attend to their every need -- can't be bad, ha, ha!!
Now I'm in the photoshoot album. cracking up at the "gothness" of it all!
And beg for kisses!
who, Dindrane, the cats or people? lol!!
someone was having fun!
LOL, both, George! I meant us begging cats for them, but hey!
yeah, thought it would be that way, ha!
That is me.
m9 I sent you my other account with guest pasword
that white dress is awesome
it was either FT's or pinched from the drama department or op shop. It wasn't done up at the back
that password isn't working
were those pics for a project?
Yes
O M9 let me look
Yes they were for year 12 art. I hadn't seen them myself in 15 years
looking my self
Just getting it sent to my email. i have forgotten it
lol...that happens to me allt he time!
It is because I change it regularly
Back shortly... luck, all.
later din
maybe I'll figure out why sound isn't working at any sites...
cos it's not working on your computer, m9
speakers on and turned up? lol
I've done that!!
plug in speakers into speaker not headphone socket?
nope. ran diagnostics. working on puter... just not at youtube and hulu and such
updated my flash player..
oh yeah? might be a codec problem, yeah you could try updating flash, but did it all work for you quite recently??
I youtube a lot, upload a lot of my stuff there
yes it did.
I think I have to fix my regedit
you could try system restore then, to a restore point date when it did all work, then update flash
I would probably try that first, it might fix it
go back a day before the last date you know it worked
m9 I sent you new password
any list today
not yet
shame
yeah, it is that!
I have 100 words found, 52 left to go and without the list I'm well stuck now!
gremlinn has a list on his profile.
oh poopie. system shut down, restarted.. took it's own time...just to tell me that the restore didn't work and nothing was changed!LOL
Hi Haz
M9 I sent you a new password have fun
*gone*
ok that one worked!
oh no, m9, not good!!
I have some codecs that might fix it, cos I do a lot of sound stuff on my computer, but updating flash might do it for ya, give that a try?
if that doesn't work give a holler!
i didn't know that you could load vids at photobucket
I already did the flash update...and it didnt' work.
yep M9. I have photobucket as private as I don't like sharing too much on FB or flicker
LOL... the babble pic is hilarious!
going to majorgeeks to see if they have anything on it.
I made it (I think)
Hi herin, m9, George, yay!
Hi Hydra
Just got my first 7 words. Not feelin very bright today. Cough, headache, bleurgh.
How you?
well yuo just answered that one
Back later. M9 I will catch you later
Hello everyone. Ugh Hydra - keep away from me
Hi Lynxx and bye on this rather frosty day
hello, Hydra!
sorry to hear your under the weather!!
hi herin, lyn, george, and all
and hydra
oh sorry, m9, then you might need an audio codec, yeah, let me see what I have
hi Sandy
hello sandyloo
what is it that doesn't work for you, just vids on youtube, or somewhere else as well?
hi george, your icon is clever but scary
clever? ha, not very!! I woke up one morning last summer, might I add a bit too early for me at the time and as soon as I sat up, took that with my mobile phone camera -- which accounts for the bloodshot eye! I call that composition 'morning eye'
lol, Iwould love to see some of your photography
bright sunny day, morning sun streaming in, bit too bright for someone not yet fully awake, lol!
do you have a website?
Yeah, it's coffee for me. I have to wake myself up somehow and start some work. I've already critiqued a friend's music track. Now I have to work on a book!
Hydra? said hello to you
hydra, are you writing a book?
morning all
m9, see if this is helpful to you at all......... http://www.codecguide.com/fix_for_flas h_sound_problems.htm
morning Sprite
hey sandy :) Our hydra is a well-known writer and editor.
hi lyn :)
ok.. gonna check it out george
Oops! Phone rang and I had a quick chat. Big hi to you. Hi sandy. I've written loads - had about 30 published, nothing well-known - but at the mo I'm doing more editing work on other people's. No, I am not well-known, sprite! I'm very much a hide behind the velvet curtains person.
Back later. Going off to make coffee. See y'all.
oh haha..I was already at that site!
m9, see if this might help, also.............. http://www.answers.com/topic/youtube
hehehe hydra, well, somewhere in between my praise and your modesty.
so many fabulous talented people on babble
yes there are. And in all kinds of areas.
sprite cute icon
thank you :) Trying to open my eyes again to the wonder of life.
BBS Stew wants a play
have fun, lyn, and cuddle him from me
sandy, your icon is amazing! So funny, the cat on the ram.
is Stew lyn's husband? (probably)
her greyhound rescue :)
it used to sit on that ram at picnics and the ram used to hang about because it was in love with my husband
awwwww another big smile from the heart
it used to gallop after his car everywhere he drove on the farm and then would jump into the front seat and it was a large ram
must have been quite a sight!
then it started butting everyone so we gave it away
did it become possessive of husband? ;)
it butted him as well (I think it had testosterone overload)
sad end to a funny story, I hope you found it a good new home
it was a character but like most undoctored male animals it became a nuisance
it went somewhere with 20 female sheep, it must have loved that
wow, ram heaven!
I want another ram but it is not a wise move , they mostly become a danger
I realise we hardly see rams here... sheep all over the country, but not many rams.
so baby boy sheep become lamb chops?
probably... maybe they keep one or two for breeding. Never asked myself this question.
before now, I mean
LOL you dont need many males sprite, and yes lyn they get deknackered and become lamb chops and roasts as well
lol I need just one male, actually, but yeah I realise one ram can 'service' quite a flock of sheep. Just wondering where the rams are kept... not with the flock, obviously.
I hadn't thought about it either before
I always think it would be great to have more than one husband because the incomes would be good and as lyn knows every Aussie women would be able to look after more than one husband
she's off again
do you know Robert Heinlein's book about the Moon?
no , I dont
not me
I have often thought I would love to be part of one of those line-marriages he describes. They marry into a kind of family... every few years another wife or husband comes in, and sometimes sons and daughters go to other families.
you can invest in bigger things because the marriage/family is going on forever... kids are looked after by everyone... lots of income... good distribution of tasks
interesting sprite, but I would prefer not to share my four husbands
hm I think I would. With the right women, of course. Since nobody can be everything to everyone... yeah, I think I could enjoy being part of such a marriage.
LOL, I wonder what the lurkers are thinking of this conversation!!
well, either it brings them out of lurking and we will know, and enjoy their views, or they go on lurking and their opinions don't matter :D
(am I learning or what!)
Lyn is probably cooking dinner for her four..
pfft - she doesn't cook (do I have to do EVERYTHING!)
or is looking forward to a dinner cooked by one or more of them
see? :D wtg lyn!
LOL
Sprite, she is probably being humble
Just a wee bit sh***y today - can you tell?
I have an immense respect for lyn and a lot of trust in the truth of what she tells us
actually I can't tell Lyn, you always seem happy
Ihave 14 left
no, not really, but am sorry this isn't a fun day for you. *hugs*
TY for the compliment, not always the case
I guess some days are definitely better than others!! that's for sure
58 left and slowing down
not a bad grid today
I was surprised at how many i got before i used the list. I remember once when I asked you how you were so good you said practice and I think I am getting better because of that
you rock :) It is amazing how one's vocabulary and ability to spot word patterns grows with this game.
It is amazing, I played boggle with some friends last year and they thought I was cheating LOL I got about 5 times as many as them
You know that tomorrows is going to be horrible now don't you? Every time you think you are getting on top of Babble it throws an awful one at you - and you feel so dumb
wooooot! wtg.
LOL Lyn, I always feel humbled in the presence of you guys
hehehe lyn, yes that is so true. Worst of all a tiny ugly 23 word grid that takes you hours. But I like those too.
babble makes me feel dumb often, but also shows me that everything is possible and not to give up, just to try silly stuff until the brick wall reveals a window or door.
also shows me I can be blind to the obvious, btw :D
blind to the obvious is me , sprite
me too. Sisters in spirit ;)
speaking of blind, any clues for the second ap5? or possible it's the first. not the sleep one
hi Jayk, don't have it yet but will help look
hi Jayk
Morning all!
hi all
also stuck on the first 2 ja
morning jmc
hi jmc :)
jay, it is a similar spelling to the sleep one
ja & you ***t a clue for that?
Monkeyed those js!
a + musical instrument with many white and black thingies, minus last letter?
thanks lyn!
I've got the similar spelling--or at least A similar spelling
Oh of COURSE!! Thanks!
TY Sprite
try mine, it might be the one you are looking for
lol glad it was.
and thank you for telling me it existed
FW. Geez, two HOURS almost
Congrats Jayk!
whoo hoo jay
wtg Jayk!
at least it's still reasonably early in the day
at least you got your brain into full gear early in the day - may be worth it later on ;)
Happily Babble never starts in the morning down here. That would be awful!
it has its advantages lynxxx
I agree Lyn, if I dont finish in the evening, I always can go back in the morning
No, actually, Lynxx, it enables one to do it under the cover of darkness
it changes for me at 1pm
it starts at 7 am here. I used to do it right then, but the flip time has lost its appeal for me. Now I babble when I have time. At least I get to meet mo4 babblers now :)
and if I don't finish in the morning I can always finish before bed! lol
At ONE PM?! How ghastly! Right in the middle of the work day. I'd be a mess!
3-5 pm over here, depending whether daylight saving or not
I am sorry the flip has lost its appeal
its is 1 AM here so I wake up to a new grid not matter how early
the flip is scary--all those people polishing it off in ten minutes
I don't do flip either now - too many clues (even the counts) floating around, spoils it for me
yep... too many clues and way too many lists of letters. But that is inevitable with a large group of people... it is impossible to please all.
I like the flip - I spend half an hour just getting those first few in then go back at about 3-4 pm
i like to watch the flip but rarely participate
same for me, lyn
OK, off to tutor my refugee girls
wtg jay
good luck Jayk!
bye Jayk, enjoy your day
See you all tomorrow
bye jayk
However I do like to leave the last 20 for my morning coffee. Bye everyone - have a good day or evening
bye lynxxx
have a nice evening and a peaceful night, lyn. I hope tomorrow will be brighter for you.
bye lyn
I wonder where lickety is Sprite?
I have no idea. Maybe on vacation?
Hope nothing is wrong
indeed
25 left. This is fun.
I would have thought the special grease from your nostrils would have been valid...
there is no grease from my nostrils.....
there is... it is a very special grease that watchmakers used to use for the tiny cogs and such... I seem to remember that the only other species that has something like it, are sharks.
grease from your nostrils
from the inside?
snot?
no, the outside, just where it touches your cheek
what is it called since it is not valid
I was thinking of no**fat.
*baffled*
looking for the official name, but so far only no4 grease comes up
oh yes, it is called squalene
help with the corner A please
squalene? what an odd name
i wonder to what purpose our bodies produce it -- surely not for watches
perfume or essential oil from flowers, for the corner A
ty
hmmm
almost rhymes with the Mad H***** from Alice in Wonderland
fireflies. Anything I can help with?
in case you are curious about the squalene: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki /Nasal_sebum
in and out here sprite, getting dinner
4 left, will give me a challenge to find them myself
ok am off then, have fun all. *hugs*
actually will be back later must eat dinner
hello verybody and to sandy's gack
back
I missed sandy and sprite :(

hope they are right...
I need warm since our only way to bathe is in the lake
With the wind chill factor it was 1C todays
how does that convert to Farenheit
I am terrible with conversions
about 30F
yikes - is this your winter?
33F this was at 1pm today. it was so0oooooooooo cold
not bad for winter
It is winter

it is too cold
got that right...try -o or better with wind chill
no thanks
lol

In Feb, I went to visit a friend - it was unusually cool for that area and I was still wearing shorts at 45F - they thought I was nuts but when I left home it was below 0

Good morning Babblers!
Good Morning Scrabbler
Good morning Babbling chums
I will be here between patients and during lunch. I am at the Indian Clinic and my schedule is usually light.
Hi Bichon
Hello bichon
Scrabs, do you volunteer there or is part of your practice?
I am trying to finish the puzzle before getting my daughter at school
Our practice provides care here. I am here every Monday.
Summer school?
No - high school volleyball tryouts this week
hello everyone!
Hello Annie
Oh, yes. HS sports start here today too.
Hi Annie!
Hi Annie, River
Hi Scrabbs, bichon, river
And my son has his soccer tryouts next week at the middle school - craziness starts again
everyone well, I hope
Did something happen to Lickety or hisfamily?
River, that is very good news
he was on this morning - list is up
thanks Annie - it is awesome news
I slept poorly. After being on vacation for 11 days it is hard to transition.
bichon, we have Lickety today
Lickety didnt say anything was wrong
How did your hike go scrabbs
Okay, had to refresh Babble
scrabbs, did you sleep outdoors for 11 days?
It was great! Also it was the toughest physical test of endurance ever for me. 15 miles in 14 hrs!
thats incredible - you should be very proud of yourself
My body aches just thinking about it Scrabs
good for you, scrabbs!
We stayed at a hotel in Lake Placid for 2nights, then went to a B & B in Keene Valley for another 2 nights. The day after we were so sore--every move made us groan + yelp, so we kayaked for 2 days--Mirror Lake + Lake Placid.
Sounds like Ironman
we once stayed in an inn at lake placid..had cream of broccoli cheddar cheese soup..fantastic
*at
There are many races in Lake Placid all summer--running, bicycling + triathlons, incl an Ironman. I have never seen so many fit, active, athletic people in 1 place. Also, it is the Olympic Training Ctr.
lake placid is cool
My daughter skated there in the summers
Mirror Lake has a rope with buoys out for 1/2 mi, and people swim with wet suits--training for triathlons.
Hi FB!
hiya scrabs!
hi feather
daniel's in the warming tub now, lol
warming tub?
We kayaked around the southern island of Lake Placid on Monday. The homes on the lake are incredible--multimillion $ homes with boathouses.
he and nick were out playing in the pool. we came in, and daniel was cold, so wanted to take a warm bath. thus the warming tub!
ah
scrabs, little 20 second video uploaded too.
how old are your two feather. I remember you being pregnant
Silly boy! It was hot + humid here at 6:30 AM--must be worse now.
lol, daniel's 6 and nick is now 3, as of last week
the years just go by. My youngest grandchild is a year now
it's going to storm soon
we can certainly use some rain down here
scrabs? I have a medical question
Yes, Ruru?
We had rain yesterday.
what would be the cause of a woman losing a baby at 27-28 weeks?
Incompetent cervix
my guess is something genetically wrong with the baby?
Not that I'm a doctor, but I watch Discovery Health
like, where something didn't develop right and it couldn't survive?
Aw, so tragic! Possibilities = choriamnionitis (infection of membranes), umbilical cord "accident" (clot, knot), genetic defect(s) that limited viability of baby, placental issue....pathology eval of baby + placenta are crucial. Was baby born alive or dead?
Usually genetic problems cause an early miscarriage
Incompetent cervix typically leads to prematurity.
I don't know.. she lost him yesterday..
so sad. so hard.
That's too bad ruru
Heart/brain defect, etc could cause fetal death.
I am kind of crushed ... they are such nice people.
My first child ( a boy ) was stillborn due to a know in the cord.
Very sad. Grief is SO tough with fetal or newborn loss, or any loss of a child.
knot
I hope an explanation can be found, to give the parents an answer. So sorry, Annie. How far through the pregnancy?
my best friends daughter
scrabbs, it was during delivery. the cord was also around his throat.
the baby weighed 8 lbs 3 oz, beautiful boy
Just awful, Annie. These days a fetal monitor would note decreased fetal heart rate and a stat c-section would be done.
What did you name him?
need to head out for a bit. bbl.
Must go see a sick patient.
Yes, that is true. I named him Richard.
bye scrabbs
((Annie)) and ((ruru)) so sorry for both of you
thanks river
hi all, scrab the note about the fetal monitor hit home, my daughter was in a similiar situation, the cord was around her chest, I watched the monitor, no idea what i was seeing, but, when it jumped to 160 then down to 60, i called the nurse, and see watched it happen, called the doctor, and they rushed her out of the room
the times have changed so much - if my son had been born 20 years earlier, he would not have survived and look at him today - playing competitive sports
thanks river.. I can't even call them yet
yes, we have advanced where we save precious lives
I just couldnt imagine losing a child - but have friends that have - its very hard
must leave for a while, *poof*
bye Annie
I am sorry annie.. I shouldn't have brought it up

seriously, don't sweat it, there are some odd ones in this grid
there sure are!
do you need any that I might have?
I still think I might be able to lick this one, I haven't used Lickety's yet, so I dunno which ones I'm missing specifically
you are good if you can do it without a list!
do you have 1st fa 5/16, between fa 4/8 and fa 4/7?
well, I'm down to 14, so we'll see... last 10 are always the toughest
finding it difficult to get to 50% w/o a list
85 left
fa5/16: like flora and fa***, but change one of the vowels
ty ms
gu's are tough, only have one
there's the boston way of saying a missed bowling shot, and latin plural
two gu's are plurals of 3-letter words, take one of those three letter words, double the consonant and add a vowel for the gu5, then make it plural without an "s" for the gu6
just need gu 5/16 and gu 6/27
tyvm
woohoo! halfway!
you give awesome clues, msi, thnx
why thank you, I try to keep them interesting at least
hi, all, thanks for those clues, mside
If you have the gu** to go out in a wind storm you will get blown a way by a sudden gu**

nbt!
*sitting in pile of brains and skulls* wow....
go jellen go!
it is a person and there were two musical clues: SUnday by Mody and The Folksinger by Tommy Roe. So i assume it is a folksinger iw ould guess pete seeger if i could get trhough
*puts on parka to protect from further body eruptions*
moBy
pete seeger seems reasonable
gee this is better than a Gallagher show
maybe woody guthrie?
ineed to work in "Sunday" . of course, it could be a lyric in that song not the title
well,guess ill just leave wit all this yummy chocolate with almonds i brought for the pb then....crossy waves buh byes....
hye cross!
Hi, crossy
I don't suppose Jonny Cash counts as a folk singer...
(((cross))) *sneaks choclits*
no not at all stiddie
sunday is the day before his birthday so i am guesiing it is a folksinger whose birthday is today
hm. wow. that's okay, you're still sweet to me! :-D
today is James' Taylor's birthday
well i am now listening to the song "sunday"
Seegers bday is in May
bye crossy
was any folksinger's bday on ast sunday or upcoming sunday?
brb
OR maybe someone's bday is next monday
the song is actually subtitled 'the day before my birthday"
the song is about how the day is the day before his birthday, no?
Rod MacDonald's birthday is tomorrow
yes - you know this Moby song?
i went to lyrics onlline
Rod MacDonald is a folk singer
whoever it is, it was guessed on the first clue and again on the second. all those tru folies
true folkies
who did they guess?
the festival is a real trip back in time
but tho people are pigs
i want to go home but have to wait for a conference call
this world saving stuff is boring
sucks huh?
the people running the festival are pigs?
I still vote for Rod MacDonald.
no those folks who go.
oh really?
they are dirty and slovenly. i guess i was plastic since i nver did give up hygiene then
lol I was always clean but not big on cutting my hair
are the first pa words pad ?
the first two i have are later in the alphabet but who knows?
really
my first PA words are triumphal poems/songs?
not odes

and with the james clavell book, i am finished.
James Vernon Taylor (born March 12, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist born in Boston, Massachusetts
From Wiki-pedia
o for crying out loud they started the meeting to by telling us to take a breathe and pause to let go of the things around us before the conference call
if a meeting starts like that,batten down the hatches!
so let go of the phone and hang up!! LOL
August 16, 1953 ◠James "J. T." Taylor → Kool & The Gang, "Jungle Boogie" (1973)
usually means someone is about to pass the proverbial buck
Must go...sister's in town...((hugs)) to all!

TY Minv!
I'm great minver. Played tennis for two hours this morning. (in the muggy).
Yes, it's humid! I took dog on a 30 minute walk today and I was so drenched when I got back. Then I took him to play in the dog park in lieu of the second walk.
started into the driveway tonight and was stopped by a couple of turkey vultures.
Yuck mix!
There's a carcass in the street. Not sure who to call to get it removed.
Double yuck! Do you have an animal control dept there, or sanitation?

Hi stidmama!How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
I am SO well Min... had a good visit with my mentor teacher, and feel MUCH reassured that I will be okay while student teaching.
Oh that is great stidmama! I am glad you like her. It helps if you and your mentor can get along.When will you meet with her again? I never had a mentor when I started teaching.I believe that my district started the mentor program after I started. It's a good idea.
Hi and bye all -- bridge night. See you well after the flip!
hey jill! sorry you can't stay and chat!
Goodbye jillibus! I will see you tomorrow in the chat!
I will be in her class while student teaching... we will team teach in Sept, she likes my ideas about the short story unit (October) and then we'll split duties in November before I leave.
I will plan, teach and do the assessments for the short story unit, but she might hang out and help me get it under way. At any rate, I have some free rein and she is open to letting me do my best knowing that I am very beginning. *sits down and stops talking too much for a change*
And you know what stidmama?That time with her will FLY! Will you be all do4/5 with student teaching then
no, then I have a quarter to work on research and writing, and in the Spring will have another 10 weeks' student teaching again.

Hello Uneaixoise! How are you doing?Welcome to grid
hey, min :-)
it was SOOOO funny Une, at one point in The Mikado, (our local version this last weekend) Koko turns to one of the "gentlemen" of Japan and says "mercy buckets" (the actor was a student from France), and the actor turns to the audience and says, "why does he say this to ME? I am Japanese!" rofl... he was wonderful. And a fantastic dancer and singer, too.

hey stitmama...just lurking...
Do 4/5 anybody wa 4/8 a story of clues? Well I am do 4/5 with the grid so here it is anyway. My hubby has sleep ap5/12. I wish I was de 4/8 since he snores so loud. It can be de 6/30ing sometimes.Once he starts snoring that's it! He snores the rest of the night. It never fa4/8s away. Hubby even snores whenever he takes his cat na4/5s. I have tried sleeping with a pa 4/5 of ear plugs, but they didn't help. I wish I snored too, then I could give my husband a do4/5 of his own medicine. Hubby tried using a CPAP,but he could not ad5/14 to sleeping with it. He said that he would try getting another mask, but that was eo 4/4 ago. I've told him he does not have to use a CPAP.He could try using a nasal strip. It's a little white strip that goes over your no 4/4. But he has not tried that either. I keep telling him that he is a gl4/7ten for punishment if he do 4/5 not do anything about his sleep ap 6/21. As I aw5/18 for him to do something about this sleep problem,we continue to sleep apart.Some are aw4/9 by the fact that we do not sleep in the same bed,but we prefer to sleep apart. Husband wa5/18 computer and is wa4/8ing for it, so I will let him have it before he ri4/5 into me for hogging the computer. Husband has already se 4/4 me some dirty looks for being a sl 4/7 and babbling all day. But if he yells at me I will sn 4/5 right back! We had a sp 4/5 yesterday over the computer. Now I'm going to get out of my se 4/4 and go listen to Beethoven's so 6/18 as I ne4/4en up the kitchen. I hope you found more words with mo4/5 of my clues. At least you should've been able to find the easy on 4/4. I will be back later on to help with clues.

Night all. Happy Babbling.
the da7 because I don't have the word before it
night wht

to make someone hard of hearing?
I guess that's the word, but how does one turn it into a 7?
add a consonant
like a plural
make it the superlative, pini
yeah, that's it
superlative???
make the not hearing word + not beginning
not beginning minus the D but add plural letter
got the 2nd de7
how was that for confusing?
* still working on the da7 *
good..except I need the da
yeah, soz, had the wrong one!
da + not daughter + vowel
* giggle *
got it!
even with a missed letter, lbd!! :)
i just realized that! lol
<-- can sometimes read between the lines
yeah, you'll have to!!
if only i could type between the lines
<< rubbish cluer!
reading between the lines is an intregal requirement for being fluent in reading/writing Typonese!!! LOL
to economise space, lbdawger? ha!
yeah, as you need to be when chatting with me!
I need food!!!!
it would make up for the letters i've been dropping, george
(will be right back)
<< queen of typo's!!
nah, you have to meet my sis, shoo. she's amazing with her typos! and sometimes she does them on purpose!
queen, eh (and you thought I was leaving)
does she babble too? my sis does
(gads, I'm still hungry)
well yeah, darling!
yes, she doesn't do it as much as i do tho.
<< bats eyelashes at you!
I wouldn't pay my family to come babble...this is NOT a game I'll ever share with them!
Hey, I want lashes that can bat!!!
yeah, mine doesn't that often either--busy, two kids, two jobs, hubby and all that!
we can have a royalty fest with all the queens! lol
true, lbd!
shoo is like a best friend, i don't mind sharing with her
ok...really going to grab something eat and move the fan to obtain a more on-point breeze!
yeah, so's my sis, we're very close
brb, need more liquids
okay, i really must be brain dead, filled water bottle with ice, but forgot the water!
ha ha!! that's something I would do!
so
la
hi ormal
ti
doh! ha ha!!
you're in rare form tonight, George
yeah, usually am
that's cos I am rare, very rare
and that's a very good thing, ha!
rare as uncooked, or unusual?
well I don't think I'm cooked, so must be the latter!
that's an understatement!! LOL
U neek!
(you being unusual that is) * giiggle *
ooh, why thank you Pini! the cheek on her, eh?
yeah, I am that -- very unique, you might say!?
pini is very cheeky
ah, you still wuv me anyway! :)
yeah, well I know quite a lot about cheekiness!!
definitely more than me!
well at least I'm expert about something, lol!!
I have to give you props for that! LOL
hey again all. took a stroll around the garden. Now researching why the squash are now rotting BEFORE they drop off (earlier they just dropped off).
rotten bastards!
because they're called "squash" stid!
yeah, that's it
you want 'em squashy, don't ya??
ack. it's because we didn't the calcium into the soil *gasp* *bad mama-gardener look* I thought that might be it. *sigh* *shrug* oh well...
LOL George!
give Pini a LOL for that as well, she said it first!!
well, I'll see what I can do to amend the soil now... and if I have to pull the plants entirely, we will. no use having plants taking up space if they can't ever be successful.
I'll still come visit, stid! (Can't wait!)
(although I'm having a small problem with getting my dau to watch Koda for me)
BRING KODA. *stern mama look*
but but but...don't think he can stay at the casino...and he doesn't do well without me (unless he's with his "cousins")
yeah, was gonna ask why your not taking him with you, he's a good little doggy, isn't he??
he can stay with us. what's another set of pawprints, pile of fur or extra fertilizer in the yard?
He is, but he's not been trained to be a service dog (which the hotel would most certainly allow).
probably a lot better behaved than me, ha, ha!!
* giggle *
no doubt, George... LOL
If she falls through, stid...Koda will be joining us!
okay! :-D Just let me know. Did you see Jill and Bugs are coming earlier so they can spend more time with us? *bounce bounce*
charming, stid, bloody charming, ha, ha!!
I did...that's great!
well I said it, then I'm allowed to!
I'm waiting to see what time I'll be meeting jmc at the airport...then will be able to give you a better time as to when we'll arrive :)
she gets in the night before...
oh yeah
then I guess we just need to decide on a time then...
if you don't go on 205, but meet her closer to I-5 then your trip is shorter.
true...forgot she was coming in the night before
(I'll be doing laundry thursday night for the trip)
laundry? you mean you're cleaning up??? *alarmed mama look* *scans skies for comets and other signs of doomsday*
*runs for cover to escape big sister wrath*
no, not cleaning up, dear...bringing CLEAN clothes with me!! LOL
ooh, love that letter in your bio, Pini--seen it before!
isn't it fun, geo?
hats off to that man for writing that to her!!
oh! okay... *relieved look* *aside* (THAT was a close one!)
no kidding, geo...it was good!
well yeah, you can imagine how much I appreciate it!
* snicker *
I gotsta smell perty!!!
well, we'll have a smell-off: you, Lucky, Koda and me! LOL
count me out, ha, ha!!
...and must be prepared for different types of weather ;)
oh, great...that oughtta be fun! NOT!! LOL
what? geo, don't wanna smell perty?
yeah, been sweltering in Santa Eularia!!
yeah, but sure I don't right now, lol!!
will after my shower
that's what water (pool/shower/tub) are for, geo....need instructions?
I'll turn in early today... and as often as I can for the next two weeks. School starts in 14 days for me!
btw: I've not progressed on my list much...still have 47 more to go!
well aware of that, Pini, haven't been in there yet!
been cooking, remember??
or at least the teaching part does... I have an all-day mandatory thing at the college on the 27th, too.
true, geo! :)
go pini go! (I win, btw)
oh, stid...we still don't start until the end of September!
oh your a teacher, stid?
only 1 of our 13 new students has moved to town so far
Stid's studying (successfully, mind you) for her master's degree in teaching!
May I please have a clue for tag-21? Thanks
I work at a Uni but am no teacher!
hi ga
oh! and I have put up a few short videos I took with my little camera -- stidkid#2 as Pooh Bah. I wanted to share with a few people who couldn't make it, but forgot my really good camera. So the sound quality is not good. *sigh* but they give the basic idea (which was that he was BRILLIANT).
hey peach
Hi there, Pini.
that's great, stid!
Hey, stidmama.
ta* (as in mai ta*) + what you fry eggs in; then plural
isn't that a city in asia?
yeah, that's it, she beat me to it as I was typing a clue, but mind wasn't as good as hers anyhow so I said f*** it!
that's cuz you should be sleeping, geo!!! :)
there is a sa6 in the northern mariana islands?
mine, not mind! can't type for toffee!!
Thanks much, stidmama.
GEORGE! *stern mama look* multiple clues can only ever be useful!
yeah, stid, but yours was the best, no more needed!
YIKES!!! The ta6 are a genus of large, fast, highly venomous Australasian snakes.
all right, yeah, I'm scared now!!
so if you follow the link in my website to the one, then I think you can get to the others... I showed some of them to the thespian today, and he had such a pleased look! He usually doesn't like to see himself at work.
*staying well out of australasia...*
aw, how cute, stid! :)
yep. he got a lot of positive comments on his work.
I wanna go to austrailia...I'll just have to remember to keep my feet off the ground!
i think if you saw one of those snakes, your feet would be well above ground as you flew away!
for me, ireland, maybe italia and provence, georgia (batumi and tbilisi and the forests in the south), and china. those are the places I would make an attempt to go.
but since I get nervous just eating out in my own city... travel just doesn't appeal much.
If I ever get a chance go to Europe again, I'm hoping to go to the British Isles...
hey lbd :)
hi pini
I got to go parasailing (parachute, not glider) in the Swiss Alps (and I'm afraid of heights); would do it again, but only there!
Did Geo fall asleep on us?
i'd love to travel anywhere that would be peaceful. I'd love to go to africa but it's so unsettled, same with the middle east
May I please have a clue for na5-10? Thanks
wow pini. you are MUCH braver than I am
na + a retirement savings investment in the U.S.
not sure how I got talked into it, stid, but it was incredible!!!
hi all
Thanks much, stidmama.
thx stid

And I'm dying, 'cause I've spent all of my summer in air-conditioning....
She walks in her neighborhood in small-town Texas...

I took Koda to work today...couldn't leave him in his day-kennel...too hot
AND the air conditioner unit for her room and the downstairs isn't working...

She opened the windows and I have a good fan in there...hope it's enough...
