3:59 am

aaarghhh! how could you distinguish between the teams?

well, one was dressed in white, and the other in red. that is a major distiction... but if one had been in blue and another in green, we would have had issue

4:28 am

4:29 am

Free fireworks only last for two weeks (like the stats) after you register for babble as a non-pro. Once you pay your money, stats and fireworks are restored.

7:38 am

baby steps, eva!

7:39 am

Hi wvteach

7:39 am

food poisoning a la carte lol

7:39 am

i havent had the lobster truck yet, myself. actually, i havent had the pleasure of sampling from my friends truck either, as she is based in northern VA and not actually in dc (yet another reason she is the underdog). but red hook was the first food truck to break through in this area, and now food trucks are EVERYWHERE here. will be interesting to see how long they stick around... for the last few months, my one coworker has hardly had a lunch that didnt come off of a truck...heh

7:40 am

clue for the second na5/12 please??

7:41 am

flask.....na 5/12.....girl's nickname or gay guy

7:41 am

thanx EvaN.....

7:42 am

lol,in the city they have food stands promoted by the city council called 'toronto a la carte" there were 8 or 9 and each was supposed to offer ethnic and culturally specific street food for that area,china town,greek town,little italy etc....total failure as they permitted them to death,and the set up costs,and the city dictated the food sourcve and on and on

7:42 am

source

7:42 am

ty

7:42 am

up here,fish and chips are huge,and hot dog carts,but no other real 'street food"

Flask - think of going to a ballroom ***** and change the first letter

7:43 am

howdy GE

7:43 am

gyros and falafel are big in New York City

7:43 am

we have a permanent hot dog cart outside our building. when i first started working here a DECADE ago and was fresh out of college + flat broke, i got to know the hot dog guy very well. never had to order, he knew what toppings i got. :)

7:43 am

No Halal trucks Crossy? You see them everywhere in NYC

7:44 am

being a country girl - we dont have any food stands or trucks here

7:44 am

nope do not even know what a hala is

7:44 am

Sorry, Halal. It's Muslim word for kosher

7:44 am

halal*

7:45 am

so kosher food

7:45 am

they're pretty much synomonous

7:45 am

not enough of a jewish community in the city i think

7:45 am

me either crossy - dont know what falafel is either

7:45 am

there is a website here that you can go to + see what trucks will be in your area that day. many of them also have facebook pages, twitter accounts + email/text lists that will notify you when that are in your area. my personal favorite is the cupcake truck. *yummy*

7:45 am

but i avoid the city like the plague,only go down there cause of the fine hospitals

7:46 am

7:46 am

7:47 am

Thai's great, but it can be very spicy

7:47 am

7:48 am

No, lived in NYC before and after Israel.

all this time i thought you were an adventurous eater crossy

7:49 am

i love good and diverse foods,but i see no need to bury the food in capsium till all you taste is the heat

7:49 am

falafel is YUMMY

7:49 am

Hi Une

point taken

7:49 am

i was just having a conversation the other day with a coworker about getting out of food ruts + trying new things. i used to be the pickiest eater, but now my palette is so expanded. i realize i wont like everything, but im so much more willing to TRY new foods than i ever was as a kid. oh, the tastes i missed out on growing up!

7:49 am

just zipping by but had to comment LOL

7:50 am

Hello all. I am so bummed that I attempted the grid yesterday. I got well over half way and my stats plummetted....

10:26 am

yeah, like that for lots of us, red :)

plus my whole short sale sort of fell through...though I guess that is because I am cheap...

How are you and How is Tom?

10:27 am

oh, total bummer on that one

Well, i could have counter offerred, but...you know the HOA dues were very high, and very restrictive. Soooo, this may be better if I wait a year.

10:28 am

we're well, thanks. He continues down the path toward heart or heart/lung transplant, and just this AM got off his 4th shift for this two week period.

10:28 am

Lots of obnoxious babblets in this grid.

Hi Judi!

at first I read Obnoxious Babblers!!!

10:29 am

howdy, judy

10:29 am

Heavens, No!

10:29 am

we ALMOST have "recriminate"

10:29 am

That would be akin to calling y'all "trolls". Perish the thought.

10:30 am

oh, indeed so hursh, and g'morning

10:30 am

morning.

10:30 am

Hiya, Hurshy.

10:30 am

the cr5.12 cr5.14 the news through the streets. :)

10:31 am

Name that proper noun: Japanese made sports car.

10:31 am

miata ?

10:31 am

DING! DING! DING!

10:32 am

lol

10:32 am

My brother once owned one. It was a sporty little death trap.

10:32 am

name that proper noun! actor mulroney

10:34 am

Dermit?

10:34 am

Mr Mulroney obviously hasn't made his mark.

10:34 am

close. just a spelling error.

10:34 am

What. Ev. Er.

10:34 am

Dermot?

10:34 am

ding ding ding!

10:35 am

never heard of him :)

10:35 am

He sounds Irish with a name like that.

10:36 am

people's names matter. on star trek: the next generation, when dr. pulaski came on board, she was pronouncing Data's name with a short A. he corrected her, and she said, "data, day-ta, what's the difference?" and he said, "one is my name. the other is not." i think that sums it up very nicely. :)

10:37 am

agreed, hurshy

hi Hursh

10:37 am

hi all

10:37 am

Mulroney was in a movie called "Young Guns" with Keifer and Charlie Sheen and a bunch of others, when they were younger.

hello jmc

10:37 am

anyway he played Gavin in a few episodes of Friends, and he's been in a bunch of movies... the only one i've seen, i think, is "my best friend's wedding", also starring julia roberts.

10:38 am

ah, see, young guns, look at that.

and Hursh I agree with you. I work with a nurse who has yet to learn my anme and she calls me Connie....and she alwyas gets PO'd when I dont respond.

10:38 am

is connie anywhere close to your name?

10:38 am

Clue for the last Na5/12, please?

No. there is another nurse named Connie. we both have brown hair.

10:39 am

na5/12 - approximating to Mrs Reagan

10:39 am

lol

I've told her again and again...

10:39 am

i don't see how she can get annoyed if you don't respond.

10:40 am

Ty, Haz. Fireburps!

10:40 am

i am a big fan of calling people what they want to be called since i go by my initials and have since 1970

10:40 am

whoo hooo judi

10:40 am

Don't nurses wear name tags?

10:40 am

Well done, Judi!

10:41 am

you should get custom scrubs with your name printed all over the top in different sizes and fonts.

10:41 am

that would be cute hursh

10:41 am

Some people just aren't good with names...

10:41 am

hi haz

10:42 am

Husband regularly forgets mine.

10:42 am

but most people who aren't good with names are apologetic when they get it wrong, not annoyed with the person they just misidentified!

10:42 am

oh i forgive people getting the wrong initials--just not the people who insist on knowing my "real" name

10:42 am

Fair enough, he uses his sister's name instead, but still.

10:42 am

call me whatever you like,just do not call me late for dinner;)

10:43 am

Just don't call me late for dinner. {{{ Rim shot }}}

10:43 am

Snap, Crossy!

10:43 am

snap

10:43 am

call me late to dinner just don't call me someone else's name

10:44 am

God, we're so cliche.

10:44 am

my dad used to do this bit... "my name is ray jay johnson junior. you can call me ray. you can call me jay. you can call me ray jay. you can call me R.J. you can call me R.J.J. you can call me R.J.J., Junior. But whatever you do, don't call me Johnson!" i think he got it from some classic tv show.

10:44 am

lol cliches are cliches because they ring true

10:44 am

thats because we haVe read and babbled it aLL judi;)

10:45 am

well it wasn't a very classic one--it was a bit from a stand up comedian who eventually got on a show

10:45 am

lol, Hurshy. That was some comic's bit. Forget who he was.

10:45 am

i think he actually was on I love Lucy once

10:46 am

terrible when your 15 minutes of fame outlives your own name

10:46 am

well, it was reasonably amusing when my dad did it, at any rate.

10:46 am

That far back, Jmc? I was going to say " The Gong Show". Not worth Googling.

I do like to call you Mr Hair...

10:47 am

*Fondly remembers The Gong Show* Now they call it: "American Idol".

10:47 am

Off to the PB with you, Red.

10:48 am

so... i have an interview tomorrow

10:48 am

Also you, Judi :-)

oops. I am serving Pizza there.

10:49 am

ugh @ reality shows,if i am at home and i want to watch reality,ill open a window lol

10:49 am

Ditto, Crossy. I HATE th4 whole genre.

me as well...

10:50 am

you got an 'Amen' from the choir on that one, crossy!

10:50 am

A job interview, hurshy?

10:50 am

*nibbling pizza with Red*

10:50 am

yes, a job interview

10:50 am

Ooh! Best of luck, Hurshy!

10:51 am

That's better than a police interview. Or an interview with enquiring reporters.

10:51 am

I suppose you're nervous?

inded. hope it goes well Hush!

10:51 am

or a interview with police with inquiring minds....

10:51 am

thanks. i think i might really like the job. i'm not so much nervous, just... it is hard not to get my hopes up about getting it, when i am so eager to be away from a certain person in my current setup.

10:52 am

I know. You want to hope but you're scared to.

10:52 am

lol. Yes, I do recall you contemplating murder against a certain supervisor the other day, Hurshy.

10:52 am

Hope it goes well for you, Hurshy :-)

10:53 am

when i say "really like" the job, i don't mean it's something i would be passionate about, cause i can't really look for that right now, but at least something that i would feel fine doing each day.

10:53 am

make the interviewer laugh,when he or she asks,"where do you see yourself in this company in ten years?" answer "your chair"

10:53 am

in your chair*

10:53 am

oh, they don't ask that sort of thing for admin positions in universities. but i will try to think of something else funny.

10:53 am

Judi, AMEN to your comment about The Gong Show and American Idol. Too bad Idol doesn't have Gene Gene The Dance Machine.

10:54 am

And, isn't that the dummest damn question any interviewer could ask? Other than, "If you were a tree, what type of tree would you be?"

10:54 am

ahhh,admin,not the top,not the bottom,but shait coming from both sides...

10:55 am

i think interviews are a dumb way to pick people for a lot of jobs, anyway. some, it makes sense. maybe sales, because you want to see how someone interacts with people. but for the type of work i've been doing, if i were hiring for it, i would set some tasks and just see how fast and well they did them!

10:55 am

anybody can SAY they would be great at something.

10:55 am

i used to hire "on probation " for a week and say "show me"

I was asked at my last interview "dp you come to work on time?' like what did they think i would say....

10:56 am

here, every new hire is on probation for three months, but if you are transferring within the university, then there isn't new probation.

10:57 am

well, you never know, red, when asked a direct question, some people's honesty instinct kicks in.

10:57 am

well,under 3 months you can toss them anyways without a resulting paperwork nightmare

I suppose.

10:57 am

LOL, Red. I'd say, "Nah. I"m a total slacker. I'll get here when the sun has warmed the sky." DUH!

10:58 am

i remember in fifth grade, my teacher used to leave the room and tell us not to talk while he was gone. and he would come back and say, stand up if you talked while i was gone. and people would! he would never ask other people to tattle, so there was no threat.

10:58 am

and then you'd have to write fifty times that you wouldn't talk when you weren't supposed to.

10:59 am

there are factories here that hire "full time" through the temp agency,so the agency gets stuck with all the employee paperwork nonsense,then one day shy of 3 months,they lay off for 2 weeks, issue the R.O.E.then re-hire again

10:59 am

asty tactics

10:59 am

nasty

11:00 am

good luck hursh on the interview

11:00 am

Also, if you can't hire a person after two interviews, you shouldn't be interviewing people. I once had some dork try to call me back for a 4th interview. I had already gotten another job by then.

11:00 am

i find out a good bit about people in interviews, but it is certainly not the be all end all in figuring out if they are right for the job

11:00 am

even two is excessive, really. thanks jmc!

11:01 am

After the third interview, I was convinced he was just hitting on me. He was asking me questions like, "what kind of books do you like to read?". I named several books and well-known authors. He was clueless to all of them. Good-bye!

11:01 am

most of the jobs i apply for have hiring committees so 2 interviews are normal

11:02 am

then there are others that thrive on temp work,i have a friend who has 7! jobs,all part time,he lives with a daily planner in his hand,blacks out what day or days he wants off during the week and waits for the agency calls to fill the rest of the days.he says "it is great as i have no idea what i am doing from one day to the next"..not for me

11:02 am

i have decided what i am going to do in the fall after i am no longer employed

11:02 am

i was called back for a second interview a while ago and they didn't really seem to have new questions.

which i jmc?

11:02 am

what are you going to do in the fall after you are no longer employed? (retired?)

11:03 am

th**'s annoying hursh was it at least new people?

which is? jmc??

11:03 am

i am going to take a program in peace and justice at eastern mennonite university

Oh interesting...where is the University?

11:03 am

(i reject the concept of retired--i will have just turned 60)

11:04 am

harrisonburg va on I80

11:04 am

peace and justice sounds good :)

11:04 am

You can never retire from learning. That sounds interesting and relaxing.

Oh I know Harrisonburg...its a big stop for me when I am driving to see parents.

11:04 am

it is a great program and will give me a marketable skill

11:05 am

You can practise dispensing peace and justice when the next argument happens in babble.

11:05 am

lol i try haz i try

11:05 am

I don't know how you'll get paid, that's the only drawback.

11:05 am

in fact last big blow up in which i was part i modeled apologizing

11:05 am

Can we pay in clues?

11:06 am

Okay. Speaking of jobs, I should venture off and actually do mine! See you kids tomorrow! *POOF*

11:06 am

here you do not dare retire till 65,not unless you want to spend the next 20 years trying out the merits of alpo vs gaines burger

11:06 am

actually there are a good number of jobs in this area

11:06 am

Or fashion advice?

11:06 am

bye judi!

11:06 am

Bye, Judi.

11:06 am

if you are paying in clues and fashion advise i already owe several hours of work!

11:06 am

just don't believe haz if she says she'll pay you in sewing tips...

11:07 am

no problem i sewed my way through college

11:07 am

My sewing tips are - pay a seamstress!

11:07 am

i patched jeans (all the rage then) for a $1 a patch

11:08 am

hello everyone -- had 5 last night that I couldn't find

11:08 am

11:08 am

Hello, cybernan.

11:10 am

back

11:10 am

hi cyber

11:10 am

I love sewing but the latest project, a quilted king duvet cover made out of silk, is turning out to be a lot more work than I had anticipated.

11:10 am

hi jmc

11:10 am

mi6/21 - a comparative

11:10 am

silk is hard to sew imho

11:11 am

thanks. twisty one.

11:11 am

hmmm it appears that ier is the ending of choice today

11:11 am

Twisty one being the word rather than me?

11:11 am

of course :)

11:11 am

ni 6, please?

11:12 am

Just checking. Of course, if I were Chubby Checker (you're too young to remember) it would apply.

11:12 am

I said "precocious."

2:08 pm

lol,i have never had the wife fail at shopping yet loool!

2:08 pm

always seems to spend it all just fine hehe

2:09 pm

went to the supermarket... 201.26 ... after coupons paid 116.02

2:09 pm

very nice indeed!

2:09 pm

good job sammy, gotta love those coupons

2:10 pm

want to come over and teach elegant about coupon harding for me please?

2:10 pm

bl

2:10 pm

hoarding*

2:11 pm

yup.. several item i got were free and a few luxury things like almonds were 1.00 instead of 3.00 each

2:11 pm

I heard they were making a tv show about people that use a lot of coupons. I heard it word of mouth so I can't confirm it... I wondered why it would be entertaining enough for a tv show

2:12 pm

see,if the coupon is for something we do not normally buy,we do not bother

2:12 pm

thats all i see,50 cents off canned eel meat..25 cents off cream of wadded beef soup..ugh

2:13 pm

LOL

2:13 pm

it is like a game with me .. i go through the ads item by item . i cut EVery coupon i see and that is why i get somje things that i would never buy.. 50 or 75 % off an item lets us have a few little luxuries that we would not usually gert

2:13 pm

or buy 20 cans of tuna and it is only 33 cents a can..dear,we do not need 33 cans of tuna...

2:13 pm

ok cross, what the hell is wadded beef?????

2:14 pm

yeah, but tuna's not gonna go bad, so you might as well buy it bulk :P

2:14 pm

a ld type of soup that campells used to make..but no longer thank god

2:15 pm

I'm waiting for vid to load at youtube. Watching old Deanna Durbin movies!

2:15 pm

though the habitant soups were on sale again 4 cans for 2 dollars..have enough soup to last till the rapture

2:15 pm

if i could get tuna at that price, i would... it keeps for years and at that price i would even give an occasional can to the cats, and this family had damned well better get used to tuna casserole... especially since i got pasta at 50 cents a pound instead of the4 usual 1.29

2:15 pm

lol sammys mom

2:17 pm

o's and w's done. and yet still not at nbt. all the 7s done, but not the 8. i'm a bit inconsistent today, i think.

2:17 pm

and yes , i got 30 pounds of the damed pasta... it keeps forever and as i oncde mentioned before, my kids like to go grocery shopping at mom's house... oneof them even brings her own bags

2:17 pm

the cleaning supplies kill me.showed the wife a magazine that shows how we can clean anything and everything with vinegar ,comet or baking poweder

2:17 pm

*yawn* just a few minutes to freedom. afternoon, babblers!

2:17 pm

yes, there's a new show called "Extreme Coupons"

2:17 pm

hi all (lunch time)

2:17 pm

hi eva, pini :)

2:17 pm

2:17 pm

lol,shopping at moms house..now THAT is how to save on the groceries

2:18 pm

and you can bring your laundry, too! :)

2:19 pm

* wondering when addy will be posted * LOL

2:20 pm

my son asked me that already he said "why are you showing me how to to laundry since you and mom do it usually?" i said "so you can do you laundry when you go to college" he said "you mean i cannot bring it home?" lol

2:27 pm

2:27 pm

2:28 pm

well it's like this....

2:28 pm

they went to a retro wedding last summer...and Aiden found that for him at a second hand store..

2:29 pm

and then she decided that he'd wear it for the wedding... and it finally dawned on her why she decided that.

2:29 pm

because she thought it kind of made him feel confident when he wore it.LOL

2:29 pm

well, thats a pretty good reason!

2:30 pm

and it's her fave color and they had decided on their fave colors (orange and green) for the wedding

no, brown eyes are

good clue.... but brown eyes are ;-) I remember drawing out the chart back in about grade 5 biology !

3:47 pm

yes I know.LOL

3:47 pm

But I still have 3 blue-eyed children!LOL

3:48 pm

and it's not as simple as they once said...

3:49 pm

Research has shown that the dominant'/recessive brown/blue thing is not quite right.

3:49 pm

LOL

3:51 pm

study by institute of molecular biology in queensland 2007: “So contrary to what used to be thought, it is possible for two blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed child, although this is not common.”

3:51 pm

My mother had brown eyes and my dad hazel. The nine of us have so many diff combos it's pretty cool.

3:52 pm

4:06 pm

Which one?

4:06 pm

cleopatra... ir eally liked it

4:06 pm

do u know if it was factually accurate?

4:07 pm

hi, all! stopping in briefly, relaxing before 5 pm class (i am giving them an exam)

4:08 pm

She was awesome as Cleopatra. Not sure how accurate it was. I'm sure it was based on some facts.

4:09 pm

im c hecking wiki now

4:10 pm

wiki says its pretty accurate but the movie left out a few parts but yeah awesome movie

4:10 pm

she was a lil bit of a whore tho :P

4:10 pm

Oh sure she was. One of the world's most famous. I am a little grossed out that there is talk of a remake with Angelina Jolie.

4:11 pm

Hi Sue!

4:11 pm

hi, molly!

4:11 pm

interesting.. she gave birth to twin daughters Dec 25th 40BC

4:12 pm

ok back to the grid

4:13 pm

I'd like to look up some more info on her....which area did you find that, cos? Thanks

4:13 pm

here u go gapeach.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra _VII

4:14 pm

its in the cleopatra/marc antony section

4:15 pm

Thanks much, cos.

4:15 pm

i absolutely loved the scene of cleopatra's arrival in rome.. it was a spectacle

4:17 pm

I never really thought of Cleopatra as a whore. More like a woman who used men's weakness to her advantage.

4:17 pm

oh i was joking... she used what she could use to her advantage and more power to her

4:25 pm

A predator

4:26 pm

if she had been a man she would have been a wheeler-dealer

4:27 pm

i cant find anything that says where her body is buried

4:28 pm

Men who use women are no different. If you are talking stereotypes, we can go back to Eve.

4:29 pm

ok yahoo answers ays her body is unknown

4:29 pm

8 to go

4:31 pm

Oh I think she was a powerful wheeler dealer. She figured out what would make men weak and vulnerable and used it to her advantage.

4:31 pm

i would not say they are different BR but in most cases they are viewed differently--though less now th** before

4:31 pm

4:53 pm

I don't think the date December 25th exited in 40 BC...

4:55 pm

possibly not,but they had other things to think of,what with pepper and salt still at par with gold and things lol

4:56 pm

Sorry, distracted and not doing great on either the grid or the chat. Murphy, the dog, has a game of pushing things under the couch. My part of the game is to get the stick to pull the toys back out.

4:56 pm

??? how could the date not exist? (Maybe they called it something else, but still...)

4:56 pm

romans being a pain all that good stuff

4:57 pm

anyway, with that I am off to class, making yet more grading work for myself. Sigh.

4:58 pm

yaa for jili and tc!

4:58 pm

Dec 25th 40 BC did exist as a date, the 25th day of the 10th month of the roman calendar. So it existed, at least in the Roman Republic

4:59 pm

congrats, jilli

4:59 pm

i am sure there was not just black nothingness with an out of order sign floating in the air lol so of course it was there

5:00 pm

us puny humans were just cataloging it differently

5:01 pm

love the mayan calander and everyone freaking out cause it ends at 2012...i can see a guy with a chisel back then ,smiling thinking "boy this will freak someone out later on"

5:02 pm

The calender we use, the Gregorian calendar, was invented in the late 1500s by Pope Gregory. The whole world was slow to catch on to the idea of the calendar, so dates were different in France than they would have been in, say, England. I think this is the calendar, that when the whole Western World decided to adopt, is actually missing some days of the year. You went from say August 10 to the next day, which might have been Oct. 15. I forget how big the jump was, but is was substantial

5:04 pm

hi folks

5:04 pm

5:04 pm

5:10 pm

5:11 pm

good trick DC

5:11 pm

we're at 35 animals, and 2 clients at work, and my bf's gramma, and my friend's ma this month alone. and one of the animals was my grandad's dog.

5:11 pm

we had to train one of our kitties out of chewing on power cables to the computers..was bad for a little bit

5:11 pm

3 euthanasias just this morning. it's getting old.

5:12 pm

awful Jes

5:12 pm

oh yes,i forgot you were a vet for a sec there jes,guess you deal with it a lot

5:14 pm

de6, either?

5:14 pm

what surprised me when we had to put our old kitty down last year jes,was how fast the stuff works that you vets use now,was 16 years before that last time we had to have a pet put down and it was rough sitting there waiting for the heart to stop

5:14 pm

seems to be increasing. used to be we'd average a few less than 1/day over a month. the last few months though, we've been killing left and right. and clients dying too...that's no good.

5:15 pm

Is it the Season Jess?

5:15 pm

the one 16 years before was a shepard with its whole back end crushed by a car;(

5:16 pm

it should go smooth and fast, crossy. trying to make it as easy as possible all around. i have had a few that were so depressed/low blood pressure we couldn't get a vein though. those we put the euthasol in the abdomen, and it takes 5-10 minutes. but is still pretty quiet and calm, they just get sleepy and then pass out.

5:16 pm

6:08 pm

it was a SUPER yummy meal. but it was my first time working with phyllo dough, and MAN, i cant be bothered to do THAT again!

It sounds like this is my kind of conversation- but I have to order some food- I forgot to have anything in the house for dinner and no one else is home- so bye!

P.S. Sucky grid.

6:14 pm

yes this is a stinky grid. hello all

totally. But I don't have to finish it. I am a free agent.

6:15 pm

off to home -

Much less stressful that way.

Phantom tomahawk.

6:18 pm

phantom explosion from phantom tomahawk

6:18 pm

Ok, time for resources, only 43 on my own.. :(

22 left.

there can't possibly be anymore t's.

6:24 pm

Kap, just think of a bunch of words that you never use in regular conversation.

Think of a bunch of words I never heard of?

I guess there is an exemption from the pb for using the word "that?"

6:26 pm

No exemption. Off I go. (Heard there was fried shrimp in there)

Then I am in it, and so is Eva- in capitals yet.

6:28 pm

6:46 pm

pats merp happily

6:46 pm

I usually don't see you here anymore

6:47 pm

I only live a mile from campus, wildcat

6:47 pm

nice

6:47 pm

he had a baby sitter this past weekend, my neighbor, who ended up pouring tequilla on his hand because he couldn't find the alcohol. To give him lots of credit, he took responsibility for having forgotten to pay full attention to Merp while he was petting him

6:48 pm

oops

6:48 pm

I haven't been babbling much since finding cobra....but this is so much more relaxed

6:48 pm

you changed your icon

6:48 pm

I play this primarily but go to cobra for the fast rounds

6:48 pm

thinks maybe merp should be the wildkitty

6:49 pm

for spring. it'll go back to my kitty at some point

6:49 pm

he definitely is that....still going strong at 17

6:49 pm

good for him

6:50 pm

we are supposed to get another major snow storm on Friday....it's just too much!

6:50 pm

is this as hard a grid as it seems?

6:50 pm

agreed. it's almost April anyway

6:50 pm

I mean for a mortal like me

6:50 pm

Eva, what is Cobra?

6:50 pm

it's not as hard as it is tricky

6:51 pm

nah, it's a ni4 grid. :-) hi everyone!

6:51 pm

hi lbd

6:51 pm

nice

6:51 pm

oops!

6:51 pm

hi lb

6:51 pm

hi eva! how's it going? to the pb, fuzzy! lol

6:51 pm

6:53 pm

well it'd be ni4 if I could get a clue for the bottom N please

6:53 pm

not bad-except everyone in Vermont seems to have this ridiculous respiratory virus....it's like our immune systems made it through what they thought was reasonable amount of winter, and now they are giving up the ghost. How's by you lbd?

6:53 pm

ok, off to an online focus group, may or may not be able to switch back and forth

6:53 pm

bye sue

6:55 pm

7:09 pm

7:10 pm

7:10 pm

The ni4 is not mean but...

7:10 pm

*Passes Red the sauna pants*

na4 - another word for grandmother?

na4 - another word for grandmother?

ooooh thanks. I think I need them...

7:12 pm

Red, there are days when the heating pad is my best friend. Not that I work out as hard as you do, but probably because I should.

No one should work out as hard as I do. it is an obsession.

I did just try a new Ben and jerrys Flavor. Clusterfluff. Not really ny fav.

7:15 pm

clusterfluff?! Have you ever been to the plant in Vermont and seen the graveyard for dead flavors?

I have not! I heard the resurrected Wavy Gravy...and then killed it off again...

7:16 pm

they have actual tombstones

7:16 pm

clusterfluff! love the name

frankly, I think it is a fail.

7:17 pm

they killed off one of my favorites-dinosaur tracks. It was the closest thing to the old fashioned vanilla fudge

but I did eat it.

7:18 pm

u word besides the eskimo boat?

7:18 pm

8:24 pm

Not really embarrassing. It's a very twisty word.

8:25 pm

Hi Jes, I read about all the animal friends you have had to put down lately. I'm sorry to hear about the hard part of your job.

8:25 pm

Hi Jes, I read about all the animal friends you have had to put down lately. I'm sorry to hear about the hard part of your job.

8:25 pm

Hi Jes, I read about all the animal friends you have had to put down lately. I'm sorry to hear about the hard part of your job.

8:25 pm

Ew, triple post. Now TH4's is embarrassing.

8:26 pm

yeah, it pretty well sucks.

8:26 pm

found out this afternoon that another patient of ours had been euthanized at a different clinic too.

8:27 pm

I hope you get new puppy/new kitty moments to make up for that.

8:29 pm

yeah--most of the new puppy exams are currently going to the new doctor, to get her more up to speed

8:29 pm

yeah--most of the new puppy exams are currently going to the new doctor, to get her more up to speed

the site is acting up I think

8:39 pm

hi ruru :)

8:40 pm

hi jess

8:41 pm

hi all

8:41 pm

sorry to hear about your work getting to you.. for me it was a blessing to put my old guy down so that he didn't suffer. I would never want to keep a pet alive for me if they needed to go.. they let you know I think.. he did that for me.

8:42 pm

hi jm

8:42 pm

hi jm wow.. the chat is wierd

8:42 pm

Well Jess, I just was hoping that you get the other side of things. I'm sure it's hard to send so many animal friends out. Actually, as hard as it must be, I think it's an honor to see someone out. Animal or human.

8:43 pm

yeah, we try to make it the last best thing they can do, but still. it wears ya down

8:43 pm

*blink*

8:43 pm

yes.. our vets are good friends they tell us how difficult it is.

8:44 pm

Blink?

8:44 pm

hi again, all! Done with the online focus group.

8:44 pm

i used to have to do it with humans (give the order to pull the plug) but I finally had to stop even though it was the right thing to do

8:44 pm

the chog was hurting my brain

8:44 pm

hi again, jam, uusue :)

8:45 pm

i do not envy you jes and bless you for the work

8:45 pm

8:45 pm

I command the court jester to lighten this mood!

8:45 pm

i am SO looking forward to vacation... which is not until the end of may, but at least i have one to look forward to!

8:46 pm

eek sorry

8:46 pm

WE command the court jester to lighten this mood

8:46 pm
