12:24 am

house stuff...or wedding?

all of the above LOL

12:24 am

phant diaries

12:25 am

I'll bet

12:26 am

phant ethanol

shower on Sat was a huge success... from about 24 years old to almost 90...that was a fantastic time

trying to decide if we want to just re 4 our house and move...

12:27 am

had me looking for "redo" for a sec

LOL... nope really want to move... found a house I love

12:28 am

anyone found an 8 yet?

12:28 am

not I

nor I

12:29 am

et/8

12:29 am

et 8

12:29 am

have an ir 8

ooo ty looking

12:30 am

me 8

ty diz found that right off

12:32 am

not seeing any of them

12:32 am

is that et8 a real word? weird form

12:32 am

3 th4 I found now have same ending

12:33 am

hey dc

12:33 am

found the ir

12:33 am

nbs

I've never seen it before hi dc! nbs wtg nan

12:33 am

evening, dart, nan, dee griffums, disgran, et al

12:34 am

me 8 related to me 7, the tearing of which could put you in for a knee surgery

12:34 am

wonder if th4 is close to what ruru has

12:35 am

mi 8

12:35 am

i'm tired, but waiting on the dryer to finish up.

12:36 am

Got the me 7 but still trying for the me 8

12:36 am

don't know any medical terms

12:37 am

8s are et, ir, me, mi

ty diz

12:38 am

jan, it's the adj form

12:38 am

th4 mi8 is strange too

12:38 am

The me 7 is a latin plural for the medical term, also a lens, also the surface of water in a tube

12:38 am

go the other way Jan for the 8 on the me 7

12:39 am

Ooh, got it! Thanks meliae and griffums!

12:39 am

go the first vowel versus the 3rd vowel

definitely mi 8 new one for me

12:40 am

So far all the 8's are unusual. Bet the mi 8 is too

12:40 am

if sa 7/32 is accepted, why the devil isn't the +al for the sa 9? humph.

12:40 am

not seeing the mi at all

12:40 am

have no idea on those m's

12:40 am

Well, if it is new for Dee, it'll definitely be new for me!

12:40 am

hi all... did clues go up ok??

12:41 am

have not checked for them Mrp, perhaps someone else has

me's have to do with tears... around the knee

12:41 am

haven't listed yet mrp

looks good to me mrp ty!

12:41 am

yes thank u mrp, may God dump great dollops of blessings on yr noble shoulders

12:41 am

Not sure, mrp, I've been too busy tearing my hair out on this grid to check!

12:42 am

no idea dee -- I understand it is a medical term, which leaves me out

12:42 am

Looks good, mrp!

12:43 am

nan it kind of rymes with what kind of genre "My fair Lady" is

12:43 am

however, I did find the 2 that can be considered english

12:44 am

It's also the curved surface area of water in a tube or vessel

12:44 am

indeed so, jan, that's the meaning th4 occurred to me

12:44 am

Though the plural is one I had never considered

12:45 am

as you have probably gathered, I was never a science major either!

12:45 am

Did you see my clue Nan?

12:46 am

yes -- but it didn't help even though I know what the genre is

12:46 am

not women + last half of that genre

12:47 am

nan, it's actually pretty commonly heard in the media bc it's such a frequent injury in sports at every level

12:47 am

or rather 3/4s lol

12:47 am

The singular version (not in the grid) rhymes with the round flat object thrown in track and field. Plural in a Latin fashion for the me 7, make it adjectival for the 8

12:47 am

don't watch sports either

12:47 am

unless it is golf or curling

12:48 am

Not the javelin or the hammer but the other one

12:48 am

I knew you were going to say that. :)

12:49 am

not women + what ** your problem + san diego is in ***ifornia

12:49 am

ok -- the field event gave me an me 7

12:50 am

ty mel

12:50 am

Now make it an adjective and you're there

12:50 am

you're welcome

12:50 am

and the mi is similar?

12:51 am

Dunno, I don't have the mi yet

12:51 am

But there is an me 8 that is based on the me7

12:51 am

still looking for the mi as well

12:51 am

no Nan, mi*+at5

12:51 am

I clued her the me 8

12:52 am

blasted enable dictionary is really frustrating me with perfectly valid word endings. Time for sleep. Happy babbling, all -

at 7

12:53 am

ty diz -- 8's done :)

12:53 am

fa 7

12:53 am

ty grannie

12:53 am

make th4 fa 7 X 2

12:54 am

nini Grif

12:54 am

I have a latinate plural fa but that's all

12:55 am

Another medical joint term...

12:56 am

another med. condition too

12:56 am

The en 7 is another medical one

12:56 am

i have the me mi and ir 8 - what was the other ?

12:56 am

I think all these med. terms should be booted out of enable -- they are not english!!!

12:57 am

et 8

12:57 am

ty jan

12:57 am

And of course the an/6 as another medical condition

1:00 am

I think te/5/10 is another medical word for a body part, and ma/5 is a psych condition. We're getting a med school education tonight

thanks jellen!

1:05 am

Off to bed I think. Good luck with the grid, all!

1:06 am

140 down -- think I'll have to list soon

1:10 am

cocoon actor is back

1:12 am

save that tiger

1:12 am

hi ruru

1:13 am

hi nan.. maybe that was too obscure

1:14 am

yep!

1:15 am

that was don's most famous movie before cocoon

1:15 am

a disney flick I think.. we'd need Movieman to confirm it

1:16 am

oh -- not familiar with it

1:19 am

Oh why can't hanta as say in hanta-virus be a word???

1:21 am

might be all one word boat

1:24 am

Ah, you're right, it is all one word. I thought hanta was short for something or rather a word in itself.

1:24 am

170 down and crashing -- see you tomorrow everyone :)

1:24 am

nite nan

1:25 am

G'night nan :)

1:39 am

hello all -- I've been having printer nightmares, still not solved, and a deadline tomorrow :-(

1:39 am

hi jilli

fireworks

1:46 am

nj volley

ty... found this one to be tough... maybe I was too tired :( How are you doing dart? Do you like your new place?

1:47 am

20 left haven't peeked yet....oh you mean the house lol...we love the house...still getting used to the area though

what do you like and what feels strange?

1:49 am

Congrats dee -- sorry I missed our usual greeting. I'm too tired to tackle this one at this point, and if you found it tough I may skip it -- too much to do.

1:50 am

house is newer....kitchen bigger with wood floors....downstairs finished....better for entertaining/guests...wet bar..more storage...3 car garage

hi jili sorry you are tired

excellent! How do you like the wood floors?

1:51 am

I spent over an hour on the phone to HP about the printer, and now it doesn't work at all! So there will be another long phone call, I guess.

1:51 am

smaller metro area so not as much to do as before (a lot less)....still haven't really met a lot of the neighbors yet

1:52 am

and not working now...spending a LOT more time in the house lol

1:52 am

I like the floors

1:52 am

hi dart -- there's always Babble to keep you amused, lol!

that might feel lonesome...

sorry about your HP problem jili..

1:53 am

dee -- did you get an offer on the house?

1:53 am

that is why I don't always list....gives me something to do..as long as we don't get cutoff like the other night

so are you going crazy with so much free time

yeah ... didn't get to finish the other nite grrr

1:54 am

been golfing about 3 times a week..joined a club for that

1:54 am

Oh, that will get you meeting people, dart

1:55 am

saw your post on FB...I emailed DRG and it was fixed in about 5 mins...but didn't know it was out until about 15 mins before flip

way to go dart... I couldn't find his email address or I would have emailed a lot earlier

1:55 am

I missed that Babble breakdown

1:55 am

the people at the club have been pretty friendly so far....so we should make some friends

actually, I just remembered ... one of our daughter's bridesmaids lives in Wichita

good to hear that they are open to new friends... that is always scary... no matter what age we are

1:56 am

dee -- did you get an offer on your house?

1:56 am

I had that happen before..so I put it in my list for that reason...last time it happened, couldn't get his email

not yet jili... still a couple interested people... we are considering making an offer on a property we really like even though we don't have one on ours yet...

where did you find his email?

1:58 am

the people who live here love it and are usually lifers....but I think most grew up here or in smaller towns in the state and they like the relatively bigger city for them

interest rates are almost too good to pass up and there is one house with a floor plan that seems perfect for us

makes sense

1:59 am

on the site here somewhere...let me look it up

1:59 am

oh, best of luck in both ways, dee!

ty jili... it has been such a long aggravating process

2:00 am

I have DrG's email address too -- can't remember where I got it.

I actually thought our house would sell very quickly... so it has been a bit of a shock

2:00 am

dr.god@playbabble.com

hang on... I am going to save that right now

Thanks, got it!

2:02 am

oh, I have a different address under is real name

2:02 am

*his

2:03 am

if you click on the bottom of the page...it will open up to that address...but you lose this page

just lurking a bit here - is there something wrong with babble? just wondering why ppl are emailing Dr G? i know it was down the other morning, but hasn't it been fine since?

2:06 am

no saint

no there's nothing wrong with babble, or no it hasn't been fine? ;)

nothing wrong...we were talking about the other day

oh, ok good. oh, why - what happened then, if you don't mind me asking?

2:08 am

volley...went to our former counties website the other day and clicked on the foreclosures....they had them by month for the past year...it was kinda scary how many there were

here, too, dart... we have been wondering if we should rent ours

2:10 am

saint...if you don't have his email and the site goes down...you can't come here to get it...so just passing it around for the next time it happens

Oh - good point dart! noted.

Yeah, it is worrying when it's not working, since it's so rare.. like - what happened????? Someone HELP - SOS! lol

we have neighborhood pockets that seem to be selling, but some of the others have literally been on the market for years...

2:11 am

Well, I'm calling it a day -- goodnight all and good luck...*poof

What area do you live in Dee?

all the foreclosures are so sad - quite a few around me here in RI

2:12 am

I emailed him the other night and it was fixed in about 15 mins...don't know if he had other emails or if it was mine or it was just a coincidence

northern Indiana

oh wow - i'm from Indiana! Anderson.. near Indy

our orthopaedic industry has been hit hard... 1st time in almost 30 years for a slump here

we live in Warsaw, and our daughter lives in Indy

that's ironic, b/c i've just gone to an ortho. for the first time recently, bad bad knees :(

awww, you and ru... poor things

2:15 am

not sure when the market will come back volley...but with all the foreclosures out there...and the banks are sitting on more that aren't even on the market now...I think it will be quite a while. The banks aren't loaning unless you have stellar credit......not to be a glass half-empty type

perhaps the slump is from people (clearly not me!) taking better care of themselves?

Warsaw is orthopaedic capital of the world

no kidding? interesting

true...

2:16 am

didn't know that volley

DePuy started here in the 1800's; then Zimmer branched from that... now have Medtronic and tons of niche companies...

BioMet is also here

2:16 am

I know medtronic was big back home

so we have been very protected until just recently when Zimmer decided to hit their bottom line this year by laying off mid level execs

it's what happens when the CEO is not a marketing / sales major

well all good luck with finishing!! Hope you have a great day / eve *poofing with hugs*

Thank you dizgrannie. Fireworks now.

4:05 am

WD

WTG dizgrannie. :)

And scouser! :)

4:07 am

night/morn/whatever, catch you all later xx

4:08 am

morning here and tidying is necessary as I cannot achieve any further untidiness, there is no room.

Wow. Sounds worse than my place, scouser!

I just moved and I'm still getting unpacked and organized so I have boxes and things sitting around.

4:13 am

Well I have been here ten years now...... my neighbour reckons there is an untidiness gene. She occasionally picks her way into my livingroom.

4:13 am

Hi scouser. I spent half of yesterday tidying and still have three mammoth heaps to tackle.

Auntie Hydra! :)

((((hug))))

4:14 am

Hello Neil! Hi diz, norma and anyone I haven't spotted!.

You haven't spotted what?

4:14 am

(((((((neil))))))) Hope you slept better last night.

4:14 am

lol Neil

Oh, no... not the best. Sure will tonight though. But I'm late getting there because something came up I had to deal with... ugh. Nothing too bad though.

4:15 am

Hello Hydra.... my most long-standing friend since we were 4-and-a-bit or was it more? I cannot see my table floor kitchen surfaces hall floor or bedroom floor. Limit attained.

Oh! "anyone you haven't spotted"... I read that totally wrong, haha!

How did you get a cat with purple whiskers?

4:16 am

That cat is the absolute image of the Felix catfood cat. Hydra was liberal with the eye-shadow?

4:17 am

Scouser, remember my old friends Gary and Louise? You had to cut a channel through the heaps to get to their sofa and kitchen. One day they started to clear up They got through the mouldy plate layer, the old newspaper layer, the lost sock layer and finally hit the beetle and bug layer!

4:17 am

Trick of the light, Neil. Looks as though I've been at him with the purple mascara, doesn't it?

4:17 am

No I am not that bad. But I miss Pushkin's penchant for woodlice.

4:18 am

Yes Neil, scouser and I went to school together in Liverpool.

Wow, scouser? Imagine how great you'd feel if you did get it all cleaned up? Make a plan... you can only do it a little at a time, right? But if you keep at it and do a set amount daily, it will get done. Start by collecting a bunch of boxes and putting into those everything you can get rid of... organize the stuff according to what it is. Throw out everything that can go, for a start... that frees up room to move around what you need to organize.

Oh did you? Cool. :)

4:18 am

That's a really good photo on your profile, Neil.

4:18 am

This is the time of year of spider ingress: I welcome them as I think: "what are they eating? "

And... enlist help! Have a couple of friends over to help you now and then.

4:19 am

There is a spider of Damocles over the kitchen doorway.

4:19 am

Cor! negativeneil. I do tend to go for the box-files and put in all the important stuff ....... hmmm ...... there are three of those already.

Oh thanks, Auntie Hydra. It was taken last April in Thailand.

4:19 am

It's not that bad, Neil. I'm exaggerating. The main heap is only a foot high.

Maybe you need to grab some more boxes for the job, scouser?

Geez. But if you can't see the floor, you can't clean the floor... or is that the method to the madness? ;)

brb... making a tea.

4:20 am

Auntie Hydra eh? well I suppose since we have been friends for 63 years you finally got a title.

4:20 am

All my filing cabinets are in storage. That's the main problem. I can see the floor. I just can't see the surface of the futon!

4:21 am

Only found 32 words. Better quit chatting and get Babbling!

4:22 am

Neil: I can see 15% of the floor and it is only a week since I cleaned it. I have to do so when grandchild is coming, as she has penchant for mangled staples, paperclips, pens and pencils.

4:22 am

It's just for Neil, scouser. I'm his honorary auntie. And it's 62!

4:23 am

Ha - OK maths graduate that I am I still cannot do some simple subtractions.

4:25 am

Up to 445 words now. Hope we're not frightening everyone else off the chog. We three seem to have taken it over! Neil, you and scouser would have lots to talk about.

4:25 am

I meand 45. Slip of the finger.

4:26 am

Well it is very good to be able to chat for a short while. My trouble is I can type very fast therefore tend to hog the chog.

4:26 am

'Hog the chog' - I love that! You are a chog-hogger. A chog-a-holic!

4:27 am

I'll have to go soon as I am too cold. 48 degrees F in this room and I'm not allowed to have the heating on.

4:28 am

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Hydra!

4:28 am

You would be better up here. That would give me reason to tidy even more.

4:29 am

Waiting for a rush editing job to come in. 100,000 word book to be edited in a week - copy and creative editing.

4:29 am

Otherwise I would be up like a shot.

4:30 am

Neil, are you still here?

4:31 am

I go to the kitchen now. I may be some time.

4:31 am

Bye, scouser. I'm off downstairs where it might be a wee bit warmer. Not much.

hi and nbt

4:33 am

Hello Joshua. some weird words in this grid.

i look forward to cursing their name

4:35 am

You need some far eastern language

4:36 am

actually I just looked at your profile and you might get the h6/33 that defeated me

4:36 am

I have to go into the kitchen. Byee all

not sure what about my profile would lead you to that assumption

but hopefully i can live up to it

I'm back.

h6,33 -- any of the terra-cotta models of people, animals, and houses from the Yayoi period of Japanese culture. Or... h + zoos house ***mals + you need to clean up so you can **sh your floors!

Oh, my Auntie Hydra left? :( *sulks*

Just been catching up here... we'd have a lot to talk about, scouser? So Hydra says?

Oh never mind... I see you're gone. Ok, off to bed with me, finally.

6:27 am

7:51 am

it is all in the site prepertion carlee

7:51 am

nice carlee - was a girl scout in my youth and camped....lots of fun...still tent camp with my family

7:52 am

7:53 am

though now they have these new rock climber tents that you can just suspend off the ground by using a good tree limb

7:53 am

7:55 am

camping in january can be...interesting...

7:55 am

we used to sleep with our clothes in the bg,balled up at our feet.had to do that of the clothes would freeze solid

7:56 am

bag

7:56 am

anyway...after camping in windsor....i had to high tail it to london..as my fther's band had their first concert of the season...and they did a tribute to him...had to go for that

7:56 am

nd there is major drama in the family with my step mum

7:57 am

yes,i sensed that when you talked about her in the past

7:58 am

clue for the last wi 4/8 plz..cant see it at all

7:58 am

well...the weekend my dad passed..she neglested to tell his sisters ( who are in burlington0 that he was as bad as he was...my one aunt..got a "feeling" and drive down on monday to see him...

7:58 am

when she saw how bad he was..she called my other aunt to get her ass down here...

7:59 am

if my one aunt had not come down that day..they would not have been ale to say goodbye

7:59 am

as he passed that evening

7:59 am

its like he waited to say goodbye to his sisters

8:00 am

in the past crlee,i almost lost my dad that wy because of his current lady friend

8:00 am

not sure about that river...it was very very sudden his passing...anyway...

8:00 am

nm just got it..was going wrong way story of my life

8:00 am

lol ivesy

8:01 am

so the aunts arent talking to step mum.....but they have always remained close to my mum...and so essentially...step mum is not being spoken to by any of his family..and she is bitter

8:01 am

time for my breakfast - have a great day everyone

8:01 am

tc riverdance

8:01 am

i am stuck in the middle... as are my kids ( who love step mum to bits..but also the aunts)... and now the one neighbour of my dad's is somehow in the middle of it too

8:02 am

8:02 am

i guess it is a blessing that my mum passed in 1991,so she does not have to look at the mess..i canfully understand your story carlee

8:02 am

bye River, had a great day

8:04 am

i am currently just letting them all swing about in the mud...am staying on shore..no doubt with the towles and water to clean it ll up once they are done...i am trying to just be "it is..what it is" and attempting to not let it upset me too much

8:06 am

that is always tough, ivesy

8:07 am

oh dear...well..ivesy... in the past ( as i have seen friends go through this...the general rule is... if u suspect she needes it...she likely does cus they get good at hiding it ) and when an available bed opens up..take it...

8:58 am

argh that is one late dinner

mind you, if I don't make dinner for myself, no one else makes it! LOL

8:59 am

:(((

isn't a kewpi a dog?? I just know it is!

9:00 am

9:03 am

93 words in and hit my first grid wall:((

i have to tell you all of a funny night tonight... my daughter (yes, my DAUGHTER!!) celebrated her one month anniversary with her boyfriend... what is a mum supposed to do?

9:03 am

uhoh... with 76 I am not far from that wall then!

9:04 am

warn the bf on what constitutes a present...

they have only kissed once, for 1 second, on the lips... too cute. But thank God for that!

9:05 am

aw that is so cute! Congratulate her of course

too right crossy! LOL!! a cricket bat to the back of the head if he hurts her at all

9:05 am

time enough for more later

9:06 am

you use a cricket bat,we use a baseball bat,but i like the idea of that wide flat plane of a cricket bat

indeed sprite, she told him today that she was not going to do anything more than a kiss on the lips until she was 18 years old!!!

crossy, either one... anything .... even a 2x4 would work for me :)

9:07 am

lol,if she looks like her mum,the poor lad will be jumping though flaming hoops for a while yet;)0

LOL crossy!! you are right about that!! he has to be made of steel and bullet proof... superman!

9:08 am

dating the good looking ladies take a lot out of a fella

9:09 am

i had to marry mine,so i could have a rest:))))

sprite, she is a very moral minded child... no way he is getting near anything other than a peck at this time!

LOL crossy! good on you!! and isn't it worth it?

9:10 am

in the end it is all that matters...we are one

9:11 am

My granddaughter said to ger mum 'who can touch your boobies'(where did that come from???) Kath said 'only people you want to' Esther said 'like wolves'??What ??!!

I think my girl will have many admirering boys... but they have little chance with her... she is a spiritual lass and very picky.

my girl is totally 'not under the clothing'... very very protective of her body.... I am so so glad for that.

crossy, that is just the perfect ending... good on you darling

oh dee!! that is funny and bizarre hunny

is sprite still here... hello sprite

indeed sprite! she has known him for 3 years... and they became an 'item' after she was being wooed by another boy... obviously, he didn't want her going out with some strange boy, and told her that he loved her and would do anything for her to be in his heart... that was very sweet. And the boy she was interested in turned out to be a complete asshat

9:36 am

mrp how r u my friend?

9:36 am

10:56 am

No, it goes clockwise

10:56 am

Ends in a vowel

Hi folks

11:36 am

Trolls afoot, Bichon.

11:36 am

HI bichon

11:36 am

The wrath of Dr. God has been invoked. Just waiting for the lightening bolts to be administered.

11:37 am

Wow...just checked in, and will now check out. Good luck all...bbl...

11:37 am

*lightning bolts*thunder*

11:37 am

been a long time since we were visited by trolls, no?

11:38 am

*sniffing for smell of burnt troll flesh*

11:38 am

It's just like when I went to Hogwarts--spells and potions vs the trolls.

11:39 am

There were two a moment ago. I suspect they werre from the same class.

11:39 am

Children or just behaving like children?

11:39 am

I just cannot fathom the mind of somebody who feels the need to mess with a simple chat room. Big fish in a small pond, maybe?

11:39 am

Maybe no one else would pay attention to them

11:40 am

High school children probably.

11:40 am

Power & control--that's what causes problems time and again.

11:40 am

Things seem to be back to normal now. Well, as normal as it ever gets in here. :-p

11:44 am

Is everyone else having problems with this grid?

11:44 am

Bich, it's definitely an attention getting device.

I looked in the archive and couldn't find the troll. What happened?

11:45 am

Seriously Kap? Scroll down.

what time?

11:45 am

just scroll down - I still have it

11:45 am

Scroll back to 11:26 - that was one of them.

11:45 am

not far!

it seems to be deleted from the archive.

rats.

11:47 am

I am up to 32 but just started.

11:48 am

Trust me, Kap - it isn't worth looking at.

11:48 am

I guess the new people can't see it anymore.

11:48 am

I just started too and I only have 60 out of 234

11:49 am

He seems to have copied pages & pages of Wikipedia on religion and the chog from midnight on

11:49 am

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

oh ok yw

12:13 pm

pure chance

12:13 pm

Me too, Scrabbs. Obviously, I had to look that one up. Obscure Greek words. Gee, so surprising that that should show up in Babble.

12:14 pm

os6--someone mentioned earlier but without a clue. Anyone have it?

12:14 pm

I just wish they'd use them all except select SOBS!

12:14 pm

12:17 pm

hi ruby

12:17 pm

Bon jour Ruby

12:18 pm

scrabbler: there is a commercial for furniture on Fr TV with about 40 grey rabbits on a sectional sofa

12:18 pm

{{hootowl}}

12:18 pm

*squeal* Bunnies!

12:18 pm

what you do when you are shooting a gun but - who does it

12:19 pm

TY. Twisty word.

12:19 pm

That reminds me! Scrabs did you see the Snopes story on giant rabbits?

12:19 pm

yep

12:19 pm

Nope, but I have read about the Flemish and California giant rabbits.

12:20 pm

It was a while ago and you weren't on when I was

12:21 pm

Well if you go to snopes and search for giant rabbits you'll see. I knew about the Flemish but not the rest!

12:21 pm

those Flemish rabbits are gorgeous!

12:21 pm

ty for the me and the os -- hard words

12:22 pm

hehehe you ain't seen nuttin yet!

12:23 pm

Worthless factoid: There was a sub-B grade "horror" movie made in the late 60's or early 70's entitled: "Night of the Lepus". Rampaging, bloodthirsty rabbits. Hilarious.

12:23 pm

that's a very funny idea, judi

12:24 pm

it will probably show up on Fr TV; they seem to buy job lots of old movies

12:24 pm

More like seeking dandelion greens.

12:24 pm

I've heard of it but not seen it. I probably would have laughed myself silly!

12:25 pm

It was truly horrible, ruby. Adorable little bunnies - faces smeared with fake blood. How it ever got made I'll never know. DeForest Kelly (Dr. Mcoy) from Star Trek was one of the "stars".

12:26 pm

There is a station in Senatopia which is running nothing but old movies, tv shoes and the like. NO commercials! Only problem is keeping from laughing at stuff that isn't meant to be and avoiding what was once funny but isn't any more

12:26 pm

I've noticed that seeing films now that I loved when I was 20 is a totally different experience

12:27 pm

Even cartoons. And I think the most current date was about 1952

12:27 pm

e.g. Far from the Madding Crowd, which I thought was the best back in the 60's

12:27 pm

Well most of these are older than me!

12:28 pm

who remembers the first movie you saw?

12:28 pm

Betty Boop -

12:28 pm

Oh, geegh, Ruby - you mean in the theater or at home?

12:28 pm

...chugging toward halfway...

12:28 pm

in the theater

12:29 pm

... Disney's original ... The Shaggy Dog ...

12:29 pm

It would have been when I was about 4-5 and went with my parents. Really couldn't say

12:29 pm

The Pirate with Gene Kelly

12:29 pm

Don't even remember. It was probably some Disney thing. "Lady and the Tramp" maybe?

12:29 pm

Probably Dumbo or Pinocchio or Wizard of Oz. I cannot remember back.

12:29 pm

I think that's why I married my first husband, last name Kelley

12:30 pm

So Dear To MY Heart with beulah bondi and burl ives

12:30 pm

I'm thinking my Grandmother probably took me. My parents never took us anywhere when we were kids. (such a deprived child).

12:30 pm

were you scared by Pinocchio?

12:30 pm

Thw Wiazrd is from '32 I believe -

12:30 pm

Sink the Bismark - at a drive-in with my parents... I was about 5 or 6

12:30 pm

I'm looking that one up, mom

12:30 pm

... '38 0r '39

12:31 pm

The Wicked Witch still scares me, especially when she steals Toto and rides on her bike.

12:31 pm

loved the Wizard of Oz, but didn't see it until my son was old enough

12:31 pm

was that english?

12:31 pm

W of Oz is sooooo political

12:31 pm

Thomasina...Pollyanna

12:31 pm

a lot of the early "children's" films were very scary, kept those kids in their place LOL

12:32 pm

have you read the series?

12:32 pm

really, jmd?

12:32 pm

Now they are blood & gore - such progress

12:32 pm

yes, my son has about a dozen of the Oz books

12:32 pm

the wizard was the president!

12:32 pm

political??

12:32 pm

did anybody else cry at Bambi?

12:32 pm

which one - I

12:33 pm

ve seen it dozens of times and never saw that!

12:33 pm

me either, hoot

12:33 pm

... kid I was with had to be taken from the theater by his mother ... never have seen the end

12:34 pm

Time for a break. BBL. *POOF*

12:34 pm

hi ruby

12:34 pm

bambi or wizard, dose?

12:34 pm

118/116 and that is enough. Afternoon patients start now. Bye kids.

12:34 pm

yes , i cried at bambi, but i loved thumper

12:34 pm

{{bichon}} we're all remembering our first movies

12:34 pm

bye scrabs

12:34 pm

... bambi ... wizard was on television ... although I took my then 13 year old to see it in the theatre ... ... those matte paintings are fantastic

12:35 pm

It was a Disney movie. My mother said she would take me if I agreed to cut my hair. I was 5 or 6

12:35 pm

I may have but what I remember most is leaving the movie house during a red skelton movie because I was laughing so hard I was getting sick!

12:35 pm

I was about 6-7.

12:35 pm

Bought the tape a few years ago and coud't figure out what was so funny!

12:35 pm

I've only walked out on 3 movies: Liztomania, The Devils and Grease

12:36 pm

http://www.rareozbooks.com/Political-S ymbolism-in-The-Wizard-of-Oz.html

12:36 pm

Ken Russell movies can be sublime or really nasty

12:36 pm

Think it was the Fukker Brush Man but not sure anymore

12:36 pm

I guess you grew up, hoot

12:36 pm

omy! FULLER!

12:36 pm

... you mean you skipped The Exorcist in '72?

12:36 pm

Well I'm laughing right now!

12:37 pm

no, I've watched worse than that!

12:37 pm

bad hoot!

12:37 pm

Never liked thos kinds of movies. Still don't with even more reasons!

12:37 pm

I remember standing on line to see the Exorcist and somebody "mooned" the line Those were the days

12:37 pm

head hanging

12:38 pm

now I'm laughing

12:39 pm

When I was in High school I went to the movies 2-3x a week! Now...I can't remember if it was a Potter or star wars

12:39 pm

I used to go to the movies every Sat. with my friends. I remember newsreels. One of the coronation of Queen E II

12:39 pm

... Was living in residence at a Catholic men's college ... we started a pool to see which girl from the next door women's college could last the longest through the Exorcist ... only 3 of 114 got all the way through on the original release

12:39 pm

how a bout serials?

12:40 pm

I watched the coronation on a friend's TV as we didn't yet have one

12:40 pm

I don't remember it being on TV, but I usually watched cartoons

12:40 pm

that is too funny, dose. BTW, I got my MFA at Marywood (Mary would if Mary could was the school slogan)

12:40 pm

That was our sat matinee. Movie, serial and maybe a cartoon. I was amazed to find that some people had never heard of Lash LaRue!

12:41 pm

oh yes, I forgot about serials and cartoons and newsreels

12:41 pm

And sing-a-longs!

12:41 pm

and there was a childrens' section with a matron watching over us

12:41 pm

... I prefer Dorothy Parker's comment ... "If you laid every girl from Bryn Maar end to end ... I wouldn't be the least bit surprised" ...

12:41 pm

And free dishes

12:42 pm

hahaha dose

12:42 pm

funny - who started this???

12:42 pm

That's from my mother's age. Don't remember that. I was born in '46

12:43 pm

I think we need a matron to supervise

12:43 pm

... yeah ... it's a quote from they're writing at the Algonquin Hotel ...

12:43 pm

... "their writing" ...

12:44 pm

Aah the dishes. I was born in 41. The theaters way to keep people coming to the movies during the war. Between my aunts and us we had at least 3 complete sets!

12:45 pm

I don't remember dishes, just movies movies movies

12:45 pm

Lasted forever too. I am now trying to rebuild my Fiesta ware that I left in NY!

12:45 pm

AT least it's made here!

12:46 pm

I was buying blue depression glass when I lived in Binghamton -- and to think that they gave it away in boxes of soap powder!

12:46 pm

And BF is navy vet - we get to buy them at Navy Exchange. NO TAXES!

12:48 pm

good night everybody

12:48 pm

See you at the movies!

12:48 pm

... a demain

12:48 pm

12:49 pm

g'ight ruby - sleep well

12:56 pm

Hi Peeps

12:56 pm

Dang! I missed Ruby.

12:59 pm

I still have my grandmother's depression glass

1:00 pm

Hi Bichon. What color?

1:00 pm

Yellow and clear. I also have solid green

1:01 pm

I have some pink

1:01 pm

pink sounds pretty. I find that the yellow has a patina which washes off in the dishwasher

1:02 pm

no, the pink is pink all through.

1:03 pm

Is it worth anything?

1:03 pm

I think so, but I've never tried to find out.

1:03 pm

You can look on Ebay. There's lots of it for sale

1:04 pm

I'll bet yellow is worth something. Sounds rare.

1:04 pm

I've looked and not the type I have

1:04 pm

phooey

1:05 pm

I'm just glad to have things that remind me of her

1:05 pm

howdy again everyone,back again for a few more

1:05 pm

I think pink is pretty common. But it was my mom's so it's valuable to me.

1:05 pm

Hey! Crossy

1:06 pm

time to take the fluffs to the Vet for their shots. TTYL

1:06 pm

hi babblers

1:06 pm

Bye Bichon

1:06 pm

Hi Shdy

1:06 pm

happy visit, bichon

1:07 pm

hi hego

1:07 pm

i do not know about depression glass but in antique bottles i used to collect,it was red that was the rarest cause the old glass blowers used cobalt to get the colour

1:07 pm

crossy! hi

1:07 pm

Cobalt to get red?

1:07 pm

i think it was anyways..been a long time

1:08 pm

cobalt gets you blue in glass.

1:08 pm

i used to collect poision bottles and the old glass hot water bottle and oil lamps for the most part

1:08 pm

mixi is right, I can't remember what got red, though

1:09 pm

cod stoppers,the old soda bottles

1:09 pm

but red was always the most sought after and blue was next

1:10 pm

then the pale greens

1:10 pm

i used to sell a ton of the old gin bottles from the early 1800,s

1:10 pm

you're an expert!

1:11 pm

not really just dabbled

1:12 pm

the old mason jrs with the wire hasps instead of threaded caps

1:12 pm

Still make those

1:12 pm

for canning

1:12 pm

cool

1:13 pm

here the old beavr jarrs were what everyone wanted,but the beaver facing a certian way was the more valuable one,left i think

1:13 pm

copper for red glass.

1:14 pm

ty mixi

1:14 pm

yay! mixi

1:14 pm

and the old tonic bottles were a riot,especially if they still had the labels affixed

1:15 pm

they claimed to cure anything,but was mostly alcohol and ladulum(sp)

2:31 pm

NO TALENT!

2:31 pm

2:31 pm

And Footloose only has a 4.9 rating at the imdb

2:32 pm

2:40 pm

fire boids!

2:40 pm

... In the 50s and early 60s the Toronto Star had a pompous ass critic who thought no one in the world but himself had any talent ... ... big name people refused to come to Toronto because of him ... ... so when he dies he was replaced by a number of generations of "fans" who loved everything ... ... now we're trying to be cool and sophisticated again ... so we don't like anything

2:41 pm

Crossy ... you know you're getting old when Roger Ashby and Marilyn Denis on CHUM FM are older than Wally Crouter and Betty Kennedy were on CFRB ... when CFRB had the highest rated morning show in Canada ... and CHUM was for young hippies

2:58 pm

dose remember the contest where you had to answer your own phone by saying "hello,i listen to chum"

2:58 pm

... Heavens ... I remember Al Boliska and Jungle Jay Nelson ...

2:59 pm

i used to have my old transistor under the sheets at 3 am listening to wolfman jack

3:00 pm

hoot, I was watching a documentary about Sydney Poitier this week and they showed the "shocking scene" in Patch of Blue . . . took me at warp speed back to my college days in Memphis -- went to see the movie and had to make my way thru clan picketers out front . . .

3:00 pm

they only had tht god awful single white ear bud then,so you laid in bed with that ear on the pillow..;)

3:00 pm

... he was on CKEy wasn't he? ... I listened to CHUM AM ... they had Bob Layne ... who left the station with great fanfare to go to Detroit ... and then kinda slunk back about a year later

3:01 pm

... Une ... is there any even unlikely possibility of the National Enquirer being right about Governor Perry having a clan link? ... sorry ... was grocery shopping on the weekend

3:01 pm

spent all my allowance on those stoopid square 9 volt batteries

3:02 pm

hmmm, i guess anything is possible . . .

3:03 pm

... hadn't heard of the Clan since 1972 ... it was scary to see the word again

3:05 pm

many attitudes have remained the same -- i speak as the only liberal in a family with lots of connections to Louisiana . . .

Good ole Doc. She always knew how to give Stefano what for. : )

3:55 pm

Bye for now friends. Hagn.

3:55 pm

Hello...

3:55 pm

Bye hego

Hi Jellen.

3:57 pm

en7?

3:58 pm

nm found it

3:59 pm

Kap, back in the day, I had a neighbor who watched DAYS. One day, as it was starting (and she was out of the room) her 3 year old son said "Mom, Dumb Old Carrot is on". When she asked him why he called it that, he said because at the beginning, that guy says "This is Dumb Old Carrot, and these are the days of our lives." : )

3:59 pm

like disney`s fan***** only en*****

"How can I love two of you? How will I choose? "

"Why are you blackmailing us? I never knew Gran had a secret."

Gotta love soaps.

There's a new reality show of various soap stars- taking the two most reviled genres and combining them- should be great.

"What if he finds out the truth?" "the truth about what?"

and "I'm going to find out who did this and make them pay."

Sorry for chog hogging.

and chog killing apparently.

4:10 pm

I am busy watching DOOL Kap

no you're not!

4:10 pm

Sorry, not a soap watcher...

soaps are for the elite.

4:11 pm

I was also trying to sneak in some work and had wandered off...

4:11 pm

How is life going for you Jellen?

4:11 pm

I swear I am! I record it everyday. I have watched it forever. I had a cat for 17 years named Marlena.

4:11 pm

ren j s

4:11 pm

re ak

No kidding, Seaspray? I found another one!!!

4:12 pm

Life is okay, thanks Molly. Wondering at the moment why I decided to audit this class..

4:12 pm

I started taping it when VCR's first came out...lol

What are you auditing?

4:12 pm

I am a soap opera addict in recovery. I watched a bunch of them for year. Jellen, the class is not as good as you thought?

4:12 pm

How about you?

4:13 pm

*years.

Seaspray- who do you think is the best actress- Dierdre Hall or Lauren Koslow?

4:13 pm

I'm auditing Information Retrieval...It's interesting, but I'm easily overwhelmed...

4:13 pm

Oh, I'm okay. Trying to gear up for the time of year I don't really care for.

Yontiff, Molly.

4:14 pm

i go with groucho marx on this one "televison has made me smarter,evertime someone turns one on,i go read a book"

I am trying to have 3 conversations at one here.

once even.

4:15 pm

Well Jellen, in that case, it's good that it's just an audit.

4:15 pm

Have to go with Deidre Hall

4:15 pm

I like early fall...the holiday season not so much...

It was a trick question. I think they're pretty much equal.

4:17 pm

I thought the same thing, I guess the character won out

Jewish holiday marathon almost done- time for the regular ones.

4:17 pm

brb

OMG- Daniel is going to be noble and let Jennifer go???

4:21 pm

4:22 pm

Hi, jilli

4:22 pm

howdy jilli

Not helpful, crossy.

4:22 pm

how goes it, jellen?

4:22 pm

It goes, jilli...:-)

4:23 pm

I see who are soap fans -- not me, except for Coronation Stret, which is so unlike US soaps.

4:24 pm

Hi Kap and Crossy

soaps are so lowbrow they're actually highbrow.

Hi Jillibus.

4:25 pm

I don't watch any daytime TV -- I'm sedentary enlough as it is.

I started watching the day I finished my dissertation.

4:26 pm

wow, they really reach on this show, Maggie has another child? lol

ooh- I'm just two minutes ahead of you. Wait till you see the acting in the Daniel Jack Jennifer scene. Priceless!

4:27 pm

CAN'T SLEEP

4:27 pm

Kap, I forgot all about Sukkot. I have to go build a little hut now.

4:27 pm

sorry, caps

4:27 pm

Jack is a total a$$ lol

4:27 pm

(((RUBY)))

4:27 pm

Oops! Just noticed the time...BBL...

Poor Ruby. I will channel you some ambien.

4:28 pm

*hugs Ruby on exit*

That's OK Molly- iit's almost time to dance with the Torah.

4:28 pm

i will channel you a glass of warm hard apple cider with a stick of cinnamin

ruby, my doctor said NOT to go on the computer when I can't sleep. Screens wake up the brain. Try reading with a booklight.

4:30 pm

I just had my midnight snack and had better digest for a little while

4:30 pm

it's nice to see who's on at this hour

4:30 pm

5:29 pm here ruby tuesday:)

4:30 pm

I took my xanax before I came downstairs so, hopefully, it will kick in

It's only 5:30 in NE USA.

4:31 pm

still light out:))

xana should do it. But you do have to get off the screen, much as I love seeing you.

sanax even.

4:31 pm

just watched the most stupid series yet, Borgia. They've made it with a melange of actors, all with different accents, very strange

xanax I mean.

4:32 pm

{{crossy}} your clue was a stinker lol

Will Maggie's unknown child be someone who's already been in the cast or someone new?

4:32 pm

what clue? i dumped a useless monkied word in a while ago..

4:33 pm

and i needed it!

4:33 pm

:)

4:33 pm

my ,pmkeys are more useless than your monkeys

4:33 pm

dunno kap

4:33 pm

or even my pmkeys

4:34 pm

{{seaspray!!}}

4:34 pm

Hey ruby!!

ruby, go to bed.

4:34 pm

my Ruby has begun bossing me around. If I go to bed she barks at me in a special voice so I'll get up and pet her. You don't think she's spoiled do you? or just a good trainer

4:35 pm

i have et 8/50 and ir 8/45..what 2 am i missing?

I have 79 words left. Oh well. At least I'm not compelled to finish- I'd be here all night.

4:36 pm

if i can get halfway on a grid,i am happy.anything more is bonus for me

4:37 pm

crossy and I have the same attitude

I monkeyed the ir!!! Whoo!

4:37 pm

tyr to pick off all the big point ones then just set the cruise control;)

4:37 pm

I wish there was a Chinese takeout; I would eat 30 dumplings

4:37 pm

yaa for kaplan

4:38 pm

ok, I am SO FRUSTRATED!!!!!

4:38 pm

(nothing to do with the grid, though)

4:38 pm

ruby,we have a place here..soooo good!

I wanna be a billionaire so freaking bad.

4:38 pm

why sue (and hello)

4:38 pm

what up suze?

4:38 pm

went to the post office to get my passport for our trip to Israel over the holidays -

Buy myself the things I never had. I wanna be on the cover of...

4:39 pm

lol

4:39 pm

what happened?

Forbes magazine/ smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

4:39 pm

they have new rules for birth certificates now and my birth certificate DOESN'T HAVE THE RIGHT INFORMATION ON IT.

4:39 pm

I want a mulligan for my whole life

4:39 pm

cover of the rolling stones for crossy

YOU WEREN'T BORN????????????????????

4:39 pm

uh oh sue,nothing worse than red tape

4:39 pm

so you'll have to be re-born

4:40 pm

so I have to order a new one from the State of New Jersey, which is costing me $50 and will take 4 weeks to get here, and which they promise me will have the right information on it but who knows???

4:40 pm

it has to have your parents' names on it, and mine doesn't

And every time I close my eyes/ I see my name in shining lights/ a different city every night oh yeah

4:40 pm

great image, kaplan

The world better beware/ when I'm a billionaire!

4:40 pm

so I was born, except apparently I was found parentless under a bush.

It's a song.

4:40 pm

ohhhhh,we are big rock singers and we got golden fingers,and we are loved everywhere we go...

4:41 pm

I hope that when you achieve your $$, you'll stop here on your way around the world!

Maybe you're Maggie's lost child!

4:41 pm

Cabbage Patch child Sue?

4:41 pm

we sing about beauty and we sing about truth at ten thousand dollars a show...

4:41 pm

Sue, there is an entire generation of us that have birth certificates with no official State seal. I had the wrong kind for years too.

I do want to go to France.

4:41 pm

or raised by wolves in the northeast?

4:41 pm

please, kaplan!!!!!

4:42 pm

Of course I have a certificate from the hospital that has my name, my mother's fingerprint, and my footprint, and my parents' full names, and another one from the city of New Brunswick that has an official seal on it, but apparently all those prove is that I am a potential terrorist that planned this all along :-P

Please- you mean please stop? Please shut up?

4:42 pm

I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE MINE IS AND THE kEW gARDENS hOSPITAL IS LONG GONE....

4:42 pm

When we applied for ours, hubbys did not have the seal, so of course we had to order one with the seal

4:42 pm

whoops, caps again, or should I say Kaps

4:42 pm

you guys have it easy,try my life getting passports,i am still technically a landed immagrant born in the U.K but came over to canada in 1966 and my brit birth certificate looks like a scroll that king arthur himself may have signed

4:43 pm

no no no, please come and visit!

4:43 pm

I will make such a party!

4:44 pm

sue, my sister and bro in law went thru the same thing. they shoulde let you know this when you apply

4:44 pm

will even send the dog for a bath!

4:44 pm

anyway I hope this all works out. I thought I was doing this in plenty of time - we are leaving in 10 weeks - but now it's taking 4 weeks to get something that may or may not work (as I said, the lady on the phone from NJ said it would, but I'll believe it when I see it)

we haven't been able to afford to travel for a while-

Sue, it will work out.

4:44 pm

I'm good at parties: hors d'oeuvrews are my specialty

4:45 pm

Ruby you can get an official copy of your birth certificate from The State Of New York

4:45 pm

fortunately my son's was ok, so his passport is on the way - I suppose if worst comes to worst he can go without me

4:45 pm

i was not even born in a hospital,was born in the watford maternity home9which no longer exists)

4:45 pm

spelled oddly, but taste good!

My husband is good at schnorring.

4:45 pm

$50 sounds rather expensive Sue

4:45 pm

and Kap, I can't afford it either but we are going anyway as this sort of opportunity doesn't arise very often

4:46 pm

me either crossy...born at my mothers neighbors house lol

4:46 pm

no, happily, my passport is in order, I just can't leave sickly husband and dependent pups or I'd be on the next plane!

4:46 pm

as Sue knows from a previous invitatioh, we have a lovely guest suite

4:46 pm

no kidding, sea! It was $27 for the passport, $11 for processing, and $12 for shipping. Ripoff, if you ask me.

I agree Sue. the thought of never going anywhere again because of lack of money makes me sad.

4:47 pm

you think i could find just 2 more bloody words:((

4:47 pm

well, ruby, we are flying through Paris (assuming I am able to get on the plane), so if we are delayed by a day or two we may show up on your doorstep :-)

4:47 pm

shortly after I got my divorce in '75, I borrowed money from the bank and took my son to Paris for a splendid little trip, never regretted it for a min

4:47 pm

wow...I think PA was much cheaper

4:47 pm

*Sigh* Travel hasn't been in my budget for years.

4:48 pm

we are 4 hrs from Paris by lovely train!

4:48 pm

well, it's New Jersey, sea, need I mention corruption?

4:48 pm

I want to travel too, but I have a sick cat and no one else will look aftter her if I am not here. but want to apply for a passport anyway. Oh, I have the wrong kind of birth certificate. Should apply for that first

I never regretted the travelling we did in '04 and '05- but time is slipping away. It is just so exhilarating when the world opens up, and you are somewhere else.

4:48 pm

NJ, corruption? nah

4:49 pm

we're leaving Frank at home to tend to the dog and cats, peri, handy having him around :-)

Oh, my cat. there is a whole saga going on with my cat- wanna hear?

4:49 pm

They all get us one way or another Sue

4:49 pm

I did a lot of travel when working, so the wanderlust is gone, just would like a break from this for a while

4:49 pm

wish you lived closer I would leavemy cat with Frank :)

4:49 pm

would he take my husband, too?

4:50 pm

Oh, I didn't realize Frank wasn't going along. That's too bad.

4:50 pm

and would love to re-visit Japan and South Africa

4:50 pm

haha, ruby, we could sic the psychotic cat on your husband :-)

4:50 pm

that sounds like a plan...how does she like wstinky dogs

She's 17 years old and has always been an outdoor cat. She sits in front of the house and meows at people and follows them. She's really skinny too. People who have lived here for a while know her act, and always stop and talk with her. But someone new just posted a sign on the lampost in front of our house describing all the horrid things that happen to outdoor cats.

4:51 pm

I would have liked to take him, Molly, but it would have been another $1400 that I don't have, and his dietary requirements make it very difficult for him to travel - he'd probably be ok once we got there but I don't know what he'd do in transit

4:51 pm

she hates dogs, ruby, along with everything else (including our other cat)

4:51 pm

What will he do for Christmas Sue?

We posted another sign saying basically "I am the cat who lives here and i am doing very well, am not starving, and refuse to stay indoors.

4:52 pm

my son was gluten-free for a couple of years and then went to Italy and is eating like a normal (if chubby) person again

4:52 pm

well, kap, it is true that on the average outdoor cats have a shorter lifespan than indoor cats, but yours has obviously already beaten those odds!

4:52 pm

he'll be driving us to the airport, molly :-)

4:53 pm

she sounds very smart (and very manipulative) but at least she doesn't bark sharply at you and make you get up!

4:53 pm

also we are all atheists anyway so Christmas is pretty much like any other day to us

We get phonecalls all the time from people who say they found our cat. I say she wasn't lost. Then this weekend someone actually removed her collar and ID tags and put a different collar on her. So I stapled a note to the collar saying "Please return my collar and tags"

so they did.

4:53 pm

no, the dog does that, molly

4:54 pm

Kap, I once heard about a cat that was owned by two families, neither of which knew about the other - it just went back and forth, and they both fed it :-)

My cat is extremely manipulative and sweet looking and I think has a scam going with everyone on the next block- getting free meals

4:54 pm

that is too funny

4:54 pm

(and my dog comment was reallly for Ruby, sorry!)

4:54 pm

like men with two wives and two households -- sounds like Big Love

4:55 pm

Ruby gets better and smarter as she gets older; I don't know what I'll do when she goes\

I heard the same story just this weekend, sue. Either it's the same family and cat, or this is a common occurance.

4:56 pm

I'll bet it's not all that uncommon, kap

Poor cat- double vaccinated.

In my next life, I want to come back as a housecat.

4:56 pm

when husband was dog-bit, the stupid hospital ER gave him 5 tetanus shots

Eat, sleep and stare at people all day- what a life.

4:57 pm

yaaaaa! w,s whacked!!

4:57 pm

Ruby watches "bird TV" under the feeder

4:57 pm

well, he shouldn't get tetanus for the next 50 years then, ruby :-)\

4:57 pm

yay, crossy!

4:58 pm

bite your tongue! 50 more years OMG

In my last life, I believe I was a very flamboyant choreographer.

5:00 pm

I was Robert Delaunay

5:00 pm

he died the day before I was born and had the biggest influence on my art work

5:00 pm

i was a sailor

5:00 pm

or perhaps a dung beetle

5:00 pm

(without my knowing it until I was already established

Much earlier I was a greedy feudal lord oppressing the hell out of the peasants and that's why I'm fated to make no money in this lifetime.

5:01 pm

The dog does what?

Karma's a bitch.

5:01 pm

who wants to help me write a book?

A book about what?

5:01 pm

Oh, that was for Ruby, never mind.

5:02 pm

watches the birds for hours

I have to go look up robert delaunay.

5:02 pm

memoirs, but it would have to be under someone else's name

5:02 pm

i can almost see me,up in the crows nest,a schooner under a full press of canvas heeled over with the bone in her teeth the salt spay in my face and the sun glinting off the brass works as wek sail round the horn

5:02 pm

why, ruby?

5:03 pm

because my son might read it....

Orphism? Memoirs...

5:03 pm

no murders

5:03 pm

what is orphism?

That's why I tore up my journals.

5:04 pm

So you could do the 18th century thing - The Memoirs of R----.

5:04 pm

I never kept journal, just lists, well hidden

I googled Delaunay and they said he is known for orphism. I never heard of it before.

Beats me.

5:05 pm

maybe I'm noted for it, too....I just knew he was Bauhaus and I studied under a bunch of Bauhaus Germans in NY

Orphing.

5:05 pm

and did geometric abstracts

5:06 pm

we said a schooner round the horn to mexico,i went aloft to furl a main,sl in a blow..and when the yards broke off they said that i got killed,but i am living still;)

5:06 pm

and i am rambling..time for a tea..brb

Robert Delaunay (12 April 1885, Paris – 25 October 1941) was a French artist who used Orphism, (which is similar to abstract art) abstraction and cubism in his work. His later works were more abstract, reminiscent of Paul Klee. His key influence related to bold use of colour, and a clear love of experimentation of both depth and tone.

I have to go and steam some Brussels sprouts. This was a very interesting chog session.

Soap opera to orphism- what a whirlwind.

5:07 pm

we are interesting choggers and I love this particular group!!!

you are over here having this high brow conversation and i can't get my eyes off of WENIS in the grid...even though it is really spelled wenus.

5:08 pm

after you steam them, you should saute them in garlic and butter, it takes away the food value, but they turn wonderful!

5:09 pm

back,kettle is on,crossy wants some buttered brussel snouts!

5:09 pm

hi and gd night, good enough

5:09 pm

5:29 pm

this is duck that they shot this weekend...not greasy...he just cuts the breast meat out

5:30 pm

I laugh when men slam around in the kitchen because they have to cook. Babies.

5:30 pm

5:30 pm

I do it every night except when he has foul to cook..I wont tough it

5:30 pm

Good for you River. Way to set a boundary.

5:31 pm

I'd better go start my day - perfect Spring morning here. Bye all

5:32 pm

tc lynxx

5:32 pm

:)

5:32 pm

way to many A's - ugh

5:33 pm

think I will start at the bottom of the list

5:33 pm

poor woman can no longer see the numbers or temperature settings on the range:(

5:34 pm

if i had all the money in the world,we would have an aga range and it would not be an issue

5:34 pm

:( she is lucky she has you

5:34 pm

never heard of an aga range

5:35 pm

as i am lucky to have her

5:35 pm

look them up on google river dance,they are huge overseas

5:35 pm

we have one dealer of them in toronto

5:35 pm

they are amazing ranges

5:35 pm

I am trying not to laugh here with all the sighs coming from the kitchen....will only get me in trouble if I let loose

5:36 pm

Must run again, but I made it to halfway. Yay, me!

5:36 pm

tonight i am doing a honey ham,whipped taters and baby carrots

5:36 pm

yaa for jellen!

5:37 pm

holy cow - they go from $4000 to $10000 - I want one too

5:37 pm

look at the diff models,they are great!!

5:37 pm

I made ham last week with whipped taters but had green beans....always have to have green with ham...weird I know

5:37 pm

i cooked a prime rib roast

5:37 pm

yay jellen...have a great night

5:38 pm

they are expensive river,but it will be the last range you will ever have to buy

5:38 pm

one of my favorites Jan

5:39 pm

i want the 4 over/4 burner propane model

5:39 pm

they look similar to what my brother has...no money issues there...has a huge gas range with 6 burners and side by side ovens

5:39 pm

the cream enamal finish

5:41 pm

he has the stainless steel...the cream is very nice and probably easier to keep clean without spots

5:42 pm

i like the traditional style

5:43 pm

this would be the one...

5:43 pm

http://www.aga-ranges.com/_store/Scrip ts/prodview.asp?idproduct=79

5:46 pm

4 ovens..yowsa....when I googled it, a local store came up that sells them....I dont need to know that....lol

5:46 pm

though the bright red enamal is very country kitchen

5:47 pm

I am a red fan too.....love the rustic country decorating

5:47 pm

isnt it nice to dream....

5:48 pm

dream are good for you,it eases the stress of life and allows the mind to wander ,to go where dreaming takes you:)

5:49 pm

now that my husband has left the kitchen and the boys are eating quietly in front of the TV...I will go make my supper...have a good night all

5:49 pm

I've been reading the chat and decided that you are all dedicated cooks. My idea of a great stove has a ceramic top (best ever for being easy to keep clean) and a self-clean oven!

5:49 pm

nite River

5:50 pm

but you cant use cast iron on a ceramic top and I love cast iron

5:50 pm

this one looks good also...

5:50 pm

hi and bye nan....maybe catch you later

5:50 pm

http://www.aga-ranges.com/_store/Scrip ts/prodview.asp?idproduct=78

5:51 pm

well therein lies the diff --- I would rather use ceramic lined pans and stainless steel pots

5:51 pm

i love an open flame for cooking and copper bottomed cookware

5:51 pm

you have got me drooling over stoves....lol....I do love the blue...got to go and eat...tummy growling

5:51 pm

i use cast iron...have for 10 years

5:52 pm

I have to agree that gas is a lot faster than electric -- but hate cleaning those stove tops more

5:52 pm

theres no gas where i live...

5:53 pm

then propane

5:53 pm

arena

5:53 pm

propane can be set up anywhere

5:53 pm

oops

5:53 pm

ty

5:53 pm

anyone have a clue for the ha 6, please?

5:54 pm

we use propane to heat....but its pricey

5:54 pm

here is is better than heating on electic baseboards

5:55 pm

yeah we have radiant floor heating and hotwater on demand

5:56 pm

where do you live, Jan?

5:56 pm

in ontario, on lake huron near London

5:57 pm

and you don't have natural gas?

5:57 pm

nope...no lines here. half mile over there's gas

5:57 pm

you must be way out in the country?

5:58 pm

not to far out..just far enough i guess

5:58 pm

d

5:58 pm

oh well -- radiant heat is nice too

5:59 pm

6:22 pm

*into my profile

6:22 pm

You would need to host it at an images site. Dropshots.com is free. Once you host it, if you click on the link, it will give you a URL to post as a link to the picture.

6:23 pm

Thank you thank you, Molly! (The photo is not of me, btw!)

6:24 pm

How do I host it, molly?

6:24 pm

For example, here is a link to one of my photographs from my DropShots account. http://media9.dropshots.com/photos/69 8395/20110708/072912.jpg

6:25 pm

Just upload it to the DropShots site. Once it's uploaded, click on the picture and then click on COPY IMAGE LOCATION

6:25 pm

oop -- "page cannot be found..."

6:28 pm

Try this...http://tinyurl.com/3nus6nu

6:35 pm

Oh -- beautiful, molly!

6:37 pm

awsome molly

6:38 pm

hello jilli

6:38 pm

That is one of those "just happened to be in the right place at the right time" photographs.

6:39 pm

thats the way it usually is

6:40 pm

a couple weeks ago saw a praying mantis on top of the fence around the soccer field...so many people stopped to take photos...right place right time

6:40 pm

Hi river

6:41 pm

Molly, I'm working on dropbox...

6:41 pm

I love praying mantises. They are the most fascinating insects.

6:41 pm

...but I seem to have screwed up :-(

6:42 pm

What's the problem Jilli? And it's dropshots.com

6:43 pm

oh dear, wrong ting, duh!

6:45 pm

I am getting bored with this grid with only 23 left....think I will head off to FB for a bit so see if my enthusiasm comes back...have a good night all

6:46 pm

I signed up ok for dropshots but now they won't let me in -- they say my username is already in use but they have deleted the rest.

6:47 pm

oh nm -- didn't aee the

6:48 pm

oh nm, I didn't see the "welcome" -- I'm in now.

6:51 pm

now I've uploaded the photo and it says it's complete but I don't see it anywhere

6:52 pm

a praying mantis is not a common sight in this area,when we do see one,we do not miss the photo op

6:52 pm

Click on your user name at the top of the page and it will take you to your album.

6:53 pm

but at this moment we have a full grown bull moose roaming about town lol

6:55 pm

I did that, thanks, molly, and now I see the photo. Did a caption for it. Now what? It said Try again and I did but nada,

6:57 pm

wow, crossy!

6:57 pm

Right click on the photo and then click COPY PHOTO IMAGE

6:57 pm

Sorry, COPY IMAGE LOCATION

6:57 pm

indeed jilli,but he is elusive and we cannot get him corraled.he must be moved out of town

6:58 pm

would not think 1800 pounds of moose could hide that well,but they do lol

6:58 pm

did that, molly, nothing happened.

6:59 pm

crossy, I hope they don't just shoot him

6:59 pm

no,no,he will be darted and relocated up in algonquin park

7:00 pm

oh good. They haven't been as kind to bears.

7:01 pm

we relocated a black bear just this july

7:02 pm

a young adult

7:02 pm

I guess I've just been hearing about BC

7:03 pm

I don't know what to say Jilli. If you right click on the photo, you should get a drop down menu that includes Copy Image Location. Once you click on that, you have the image URL copied. You can then paste it into your profile as a link to the photo.

7:03 pm

we try not to kill any lost critters,after all it is our fault for encroaching on their habitat

7:04 pm

ah, I see now, Molly -- hadn't looked for the URL. Slow on the uptake, but tyvm.

7:06 pm

Everyone in my morning gym class came in all freaked out because they had just heard a long NPR story about a 59 year old doctor with Alzheimers

on the radio on the way to the gym.

7:14 pm

tv had more to wath then..twilight zone,candid camera with alan funt..now we have 3 good channels and 400 channels of crap

7:14 pm

folks with early onset alzheimer's nearly always have family history

Bugs B. was the precursor of the 60's- all SDS members grew up loving Bugs Bunny.

7:16 pm

i was sds member in 1967 and did NOT love bugs bunny. but then again i WAS kind of weird

Is remembering the entire TV schedule from 1962 a sign of early dementia?

7:16 pm

they were and still are the best toons,though many of the clips were censored in the 80,s

7:16 pm

probly kap, but who cares?

You can find some pretty intense ones on youtube.

The password is...

"bedtime." Goodnight Allan Ludden.

7:18 pm

not really kaplan,i can remember the entire sunday tv schedules on channel five in 1973,but have no idea what i ate for dinner last night lol

Do you know where you put your keys?

Every day I say my ritual prayer...

7:18 pm

yes,in the sugar dish where they belong lol

7:18 pm

was once walking around the city with a bunch of friends and somehow ended up in the studio audience of password. back in the 60's.. probably stoned at the time. remember it fairly well. but don't know the password to half the websites i need

"keys? glasses? phone? wallet?"

7:24 pm

we had a big console floor model black and white tv,you had to wait for it to warm up as the picture slowly got larger and finally filled the screen

7:25 pm

ha, I remember when you had to wait for the RADIO to warm up :-)

7:25 pm

and we actually had to get off the chair/sofa to change the channel

7:25 pm

7:26 pm

am/sw/sw1/sw2

7:27 pm

7:27 pm

7:27 pm

i used to change those tubes

7:27 pm

... and the tube testing machines at the grocery store? ...

7:27 pm

had to pull them very carefully as the tube numbers were in this silver paint that rubbed off easily

7:28 pm

we had a testing machine in our radio shack store

7:28 pm

i completely forgot about testing the tubes.

7:28 pm

and the final tube held voltage,so care was needed

7:30 pm

8:52 pm

night, wht, Hi Jmc!

8:56 pm

any hope for me starting right now?

9:00 pm

i will take that as a no

9:00 pm

If you have unlimited memory storage of totally obscure words, you should whiz right through it.

9:00 pm

hi jmc, not fully here (am I ever?) I just hit 100, and have spent a total of less than an hour

9:01 pm

nope that does not describe me at all

9:01 pm

looks like another night satisfied with nbt (if i make that!)

9:01 pm

it's not a friendly grid, jmc. Hi (((STIDDY))

9:01 pm

Well then, I will assume we will never see you at the flip claiming to be done in 20 minutes. : )

9:02 pm

haha nope not me

9:02 pm

but anyone who does without actually doing it only defrauds themselves

9:02 pm

well good thing the chog is friendly!

9:03 pm

Good point JMC. I was involved in a webinar this week on internet deception. Interesting stuff.

9:03 pm

stats for the O please

9:03 pm

os 6/21 and os 5/10

9:04 pm

i don't really care if people 'deceive' me on-line since i rarely need to rely on them

9:04 pm

te6/18?

9:04 pm

but then i am not a sweet young thing looking for love

9:04 pm

ne. got it

9:04 pm

9:07 pm

9:07 pm

the et words have to with cultural and racial differences

9:08 pm

thanks for the em

9:08 pm

haha in class tonight i got to use the N word with impunity in a role play! i should have seen the et word

9:08 pm

fish me!

9:08 pm

the en8 sounds like a nonsense word (to me, anyway)

9:08 pm

One of the guys involved in the webinar is a friend of mine who used to do computer forensics for the police. He has hair raising stories about internet deceit.

9:08 pm

ty molls i take it you have finished?

9:09 pm

i believe you molly--people can be amazingly dense

9:09 pm

No, I'm about 3/4 of the way through and probably won't finish.

9:10 pm

dense, naive, vulnerable, gullible ...

9:10 pm

i was joking with a Nigerian classmate on thursday because he asked me to use my credit card to put time on his cell phone

9:10 pm

wd molly

9:10 pm

i can help for a little while if you need some clues

9:10 pm

Yes Welki, especially gullible. Believing everything they read on message boards and in chat rooms as the God's honest truth.

9:10 pm

i raise my boy by pointing out ads saying "as low as" and "up to"

9:12 pm

yep. skeptical, analytical, and do the math yourself... don't trust other people to dumb it down for you!

9:13 pm

and I am at halfway. heading out. back online tomorrow most likely. (((HUGS))) (and choclits) *poof*

9:13 pm

but .. don't be so cynical that you give no one any benefit of doubt. then you end up like me :)

9:13 pm

haha welki you give me the benefit of the doubt

9:13 pm

silly welki

9:14 pm

g'night, stid

9:14 pm

bye stiddie

9:14 pm

It's not so bad to be like you Welki. I've been involved with internet message boards for over ten years and I have seen every kind of deceptive, sociopathic behavior there is.

9:14 pm

i give you way more than the benefit of doubt. i'd even let you use my fishing rods. some folks, you can just tell they're special

9:15 pm

i used to be cynical but now i am an odd mix of believing that most people have good intentions and bad social skills--but i always look a gift horse in the mouth

9:15 pm

i met my husband on the internet .. a long time ago, when the net was still taking baby steps

9:15 pm

Wow JMC, that is a heap big compliment.

9:16 pm

i am touched you would let me use your fishing rods. . .of course since i refuse to come to canada it is a safe offer ;-

9:16 pm

;-)

9:16 pm

*does a little Mary Sunshine dance*

9:16 pm

jm and i clicked when we first joined this site ... same warped sense of humor. okay, cancel the fishing rods .. i'd give you my kids' phone numbers if you needed a place to stay in ny/nj ... how's that? better? LOL

9:17 pm

haha

9:17 pm

aw, she's laughing at me. and i (for a change) was being sincere!

9:18 pm

haha it is a friendly happy loving laugh!

9:18 pm

Sad fact is, it's easy to lie on the internet. Even sadder is all the people who get taken in by those lies.

9:18 pm

ahhh. gotcha. couldn't hear it from here

9:18 pm

Nigerian letters were around long before the internet and so were con-artists

9:18 pm

yep, we all lie. on the internet or not, we do.

9:19 pm

*looks in bag for hearing aid for welki*

9:19 pm

make it a bell-tone, please

9:19 pm

i can tell you hair raising stories about conartists and the elderly i represented with no internet involved

9:19 pm

hi all

9:19 pm

Careful Welki. The first line of defense for a chronic liar is "Well, everybody lies". : P

9:20 pm

hi jen we is talking about the lying liars

9:20 pm

ok.......

9:20 pm

or as we called them in my family the lilalabooheads

9:20 pm

molly, i am not defending lying. i just said that we all do. don't you?

9:20 pm

(or now Fox News)

9:21 pm

i call them, liarliarpantsonfire (but not in the courtroom)

9:21 pm

i try not to but i cannot swear that i do not welki

9:21 pm

Just kidding Welki. : )

9:21 pm

ah that is a rating for politifact where my sister works now

9:22 pm

same here. i count all lies in the "we all do," even the little don't-want-to=hurt=anyone's-feelings lies

9:22 pm

welki is a mighty sensitive girl tonight

9:22 pm

Unfortunately, I have been the victim of some horrendous lies, so I don't care for people who are deceptive.

9:22 pm

hmmm i am not particularly good at those lies welki

9:22 pm

nah, just a realist

9:22 pm

sorry to hear that molls

9:23 pm

i don't either but i cannot say where my dislike arose

9:23 pm

my mother has lost her home to con artists .. i know how good they can be

9:23 pm

Hi again. I've been off to a meeting for the last few hours; still haven't got NBT or NBS yet and probably won't tonight. How is everyone else finding this grid?

9:23 pm

my mother decided early on not to do anything without checking with me

9:24 pm

Hi Nef. Icky, the grid is icky.

9:24 pm

hey, nef

9:24 pm

the best i can say nef is i am finding it on the left side of my laptop screen!

9:24 pm

nice sewing machine nef

9:25 pm

thanks, for agreeing with me then. I'm really not doing well with it at all

9:25 pm

9:30 pm

as 4/5 not cobol, not rpg, but a different computer code

9:30 pm

I'm still trying to figure out where there is an A in the bottom right

9:30 pm

welki; I need my old pic back! I can't find it anymore! The machine I have as an avatar now is like the one I learned to sew on; I have at least 1 or 2 of those old long thin bobbins floating around my house now even though I don't have the machine anymore (it's back "up home" again --I haven't had it here for a good 30+ years actually!

9:30 pm

YAY!!! Blue haired Nef is back!!

9:37 pm

9:37 pm

9:37 pm

9:37 pm

9:46 pm

yah for herins red chair

We now have big bang theory quotes happening

9:47 pm

Who is Nef? Who is Welki? You could be Markinson and no on would know. Are you Markinson?

9:47 pm

Good Grief!! You've had no luck at all with this remodel!!!

9:47 pm

but the boy said they were working cutting open the windows

9:47 pm

9:48 pm

i have no a/c -- i open my windows

9:48 pm

9:49 pm

they can't help that it has ra**ed every day since July 15

9:49 pm

trust me they know--every time i say anything they jump

9:49 pm

Nef, don't ever change again.

9:50 pm

9:50 pm

nice chair

9:50 pm

yeah, really, nef. (it's exhausting, all this deception :)

9:50 pm

LOL, Molly; I promise I won't ever change again! I was having a real identity crises here!

9:50 pm

nef save your picture to your hard drive and then email it to someone so you can retrieve it from your email

9:51 pm

that is what i do when i want to be sure not to lose some file is that i email it to myself

We got it from the trading post kind of like Craiglist

9:51 pm

I like the chair, herin; it looks very comfy

9:51 pm

very cool herin

9:51 pm

the icon looks a little like sailor moon :)

9:52 pm

which icon welki?

9:52 pm

Trust me Nef, there are some people here that I would pay to change their icon, as I have grown tired of seeing them. You are not one of them. : )

9:52 pm

nef's icon

We get a lot of students that buy from Ikea then move back to Asia. so there is some great bargins

9:52 pm

(you still look like nef but i am too lazy to refresh)

9:52 pm

thanks, Molly. That's nice to hear. :-)

9:52 pm

Can someone do all my laundry and house work please

9:58 pm

bye welki

9:59 pm

herin, I'll do yours if you do mine! ;-)

9:59 pm

i would but the shipping charges would be prohibitive

I have to get my couch cleaned as my friend is taking it on Saturday

10:00 pm

it would be easier to trade places than work

I hate doing vacuming and I have to get the spare room sorted :(

10:00 pm

losing a couch and gaining a chair? Doing some redecorating???

10:01 pm

cheer up herin you could have your entire kitchen in your dining room and a closet

JM sounds like my old unit

10:02 pm

haha i had an apartment where the oven was the size of a mailbox

10:02 pm

you could just barely get a pie in it

We looked at a house that had the original kitchen oven it was so tiny'

And it was avocado green

10:05 pm

if it was avocado green, that would have been 1960'. The ovens here weren't really tiny back then, however

It was a 1940;s house so probably at least 50's

I don't even think i could have got my smallest tray in it

10:09 pm

an oven like that makes you wonder why they even bothered with it!
