I'm here jm..
ah the well known halloween disease
are things too hard for you?
i can barely get a rise out of you
no.. not really.. I have a grip on things
thanks jmc
i thought maybe i should give you a hand
oh..LOL
maybe two
my virgin eyes
LOL
i am a little sad about haloween this year- ,, we only had about 30 kids... and most of those from other neighborhoods driven by their parents
we better drop this jm
hi sammy
we had about 50 kids tonight.
really ru?
wow that's a lot
aw im sorry sammy :( we had no kids but we never do anyway. more candy for me lol
no kids in the mountains
when we first moved here there were over 100 kids on the street... now there are only about 20 and i only know 2 of them
cute costumes too
i find the number waxes and wanes sammy
ps 5 x 2
there are a bunch of 1 and 2 year olds i am looking forward to seeing in the next couple of years
ty diz don't have those
we used to give away at least 200 candy bars now , it was t bags
2
well if ru won't play any more i think i will go read about contemporary conflict resolution
no 7/32
thanks diz!
*waiting for sammy*
I'm playing.. I'm playing
not with me :-(
i guess, jm, maybe next year will be better
it was getting R rated..so I had to drop it ...lol
i had one year with no one and then the next with about 30
haha it had been r rated for a while
a church here in town was urging people to celebrate "Jesusween" instead of Halloween
i have friends in sf that i want to send a present and i was thinking about a nice bottle of wine
lol cos, that sounds weird
*throws up at the thought of Jesusween*
oh.. that's easy
what do you want to send them?
says halloween means you worship the devil lol.. yeah okay. they really dont know the meaning of halloween then
it is also illogical
cleaned out an old dresser today and found a treasure
yes ru what do you suggest that i do?
what's that sammy
what sammy?
thought i had given away my copy of Midnight in the garden of good and evil... hah- now i have something to read tonight
all hallow's eve....
what do they mostly eat JM?
uh a nice bottle of wine that they wouldn't buy for themselves
In Jesusween, participants are asked to dress in white to symbolize purity instead of wearing dark-themed costumes, and to distribute free Bibles instead of gathering candy
I'm not into the spooky stuff
hmmm they have two 4 year olds so that is actually a hard question to answer
oh jeezus cos really?
*gag*
Jesusween.......what will they think of next
wow.. how sad.
I think it's rather creative :)
oh...well you can't go wrong with a nice Pinot Noir
clearly people who are not clear on the concept
Bibles are a lot more expensive than candy though...
pass me the pinot grigio
so how would i make that happen? is there a mail order place that would deliver?
a church was giving out comic strips instead of candy and the strip had a boy killing himself after he denied God...
huge, massive backlash.
visit a motel 6 and take it our of the drawer
yeah .. on jesusween what do ya do hand out biscuits?
*out
they can pass out all the bibles they want on nov 1 all saints day
wow that comic strip is a lot of laughs
talk about devil worship
that's awful cos
especially considering the high number of teenage suicides lately
when i was in school all the 5th graders got new testaments from the public school
i still have mine
exactly so
they should hook up with the guy that predicted armaegaddon
camper i think his name was
harold camper
they keep changing the dates for the world end
yeah.. he's out here
oh yeah it didn't happen a second time
Mayan calendar next
he refused press interviews this time and his radio program has gone bust
i heard he just bought a NEW calculator
the mayan calendar ACTUALLY ended last week.
yeah i believe the mayan calendar just as much
to 7/28
oops the world ended and i missed it!
dang!
no no.......I thought it was Dec 21/2012
I know what I'm doing when it ends
if you revise it to modern dates, then it ends dec 21/ 2012
my bible , which is 60 years old is very precious to me... because i EARNED it... by attending sunday school every week for a whole year... i did then and still do feel good about it... noone shoved it at me and tried to convert me to something .. i WANTED that book
but without the revisions, it ended last week
hmm it is actually 12/21/12
my kiddo got a pencil sharpener for not missing a day of school from 1st to 5th grade........
yes ru?
what are you doing when it ends?
nothing wrong with a 60 yr old bible
so if na4 is the plural of na4, why isn't the plural of ta4 ta4?
I thought pinot grigio.....but....that's nothing new
i never got anything for perfect attendence at sunday school -- no doubt why i am a quaker today
taking the best bottle of wine I have and heading to the ocean...
i got a paper certificate for perfect attendance and a pencil
good job ruru :)
hmmm i would just f*** my eyes out
I'd do that too..lol jm
I got scolded for my hallowe'en costume
if only i had a partner *sigh*
do tell aloha
hmmm that's one star short of flush I guess JMC?

Annie, happy birthday to you :)
Happy Birthday to us!
is it your birthday too, gramma?
Yeppers
oh nice :D Happy birthday to you too, gramma. Do you love smoked salmon too, like Annie?
I actually hate it.
The only fish I like is fish that doesn't taste like fish
hahahaha! Oh dear, that is gonna be a tough combination, icon theme - wise. What would you love to see as a birthday theme?
sprite, ty but I'm fine with the salmon.
nah we cannot have something you hate without at least adding something you love. Tell me. Whiskers on kittens? Warm woolen mittens?
new socks
ooo nice one!
or did you me** to eat. because that wouldn't be good
hm no, that wouldn't be good at all. Lol. No, anything. It is your party. You want new socks, you get new socks.
I do love the feel of a nice soft pair of new socks
I can imagine. Very nice, gramma! And working on my icon now.
ok there we are... if you click my profile or refresh, you can see the new icon
bbs
Quite cute tyvm
yvw gramma, and I hope you are having a lovely day.
I am
good :) Anything special planned?
I'm working thru a dandy bout of diverticulitis right now. So my special day would be pain free.
We were supposed to be on vacation but I thought I'd rather stay put and moan.
I hope it will be, or as close to painfree as you can get. I know living with pain. It drains the energy right outta ye.
*gives gramma a very gentle and careful hug* And mo4 right away. It even gives you po6 today!
I've barely started the grid and now realize all the pb time I've earned. I'll shut up for now.
*Waves magic wand and creates special dispensation from the PB for the sick* : ) Morning all
I very much enjoy your talking, actually :) And the PB is all decorated and stocked for the double birthday, with presents and lovely food and drinks and and and...
hiya Molly :)
thanks, Molly
Good morning and soulful All Souls' Day
hi rubyfoo, to you too.
I grew up w/this being All Saints Day
Thanks for the reminder Ruby *Lights candle in honor of those in The Summerlands*
yes I think so too... All Saints Day, and then All Souls Day. At least that is here.
I'm really not sure which it is, but the local (French?) custom is to put chrusanthemums and other flowers on the graves. If I can hobble on down to the cemetery, I'll take some pix and try to post them
chry*
Beautiful cake, Molly!
it's gramma's birthday too, I just discovered.
There must be cake on a birthday. : )
heyyy my favorite word is in the grid
I think that's a lovely custom Ruby.
{{big birthday hug, gramma}}
Happy Birthday Gramma!!
I like that, ruby. And those are flowers that will last long, they are so sturdy.
oh for crying out loud, finally got the last O. That must be a musical word. Jeez.
and last night was very strange. Usually very few children come, so I end up eating all the candy myself
Last night MANY came but nice and early, but I used up almost all of the candy
that sounds very good, rubyfoo. Just like it should be :D
ty for the wishes. I was taking care of something.
and I put ghosts and bats in the window and put candles outside
one of the nice sides of chog, gramma... it doesn't disappear. It is still there if you come back :)
sprite, what's your favorite word?
I usually "do" a pumpkin, but they cost around $20 here and it never seemed worth it. Now I'm sorry
pe5/12 *evil grin*
you could grow them yourself, rubyfoo. Cheap and a lot of fun :D
I like pe 7/32. We had some guests from Spain and they call them pe7 + aires. I'd never heard the word and I like it.
yes that is a beautiful word!
much softer and nicer than retirees
it sounds a bit sadder though
Ut Oh hubbies up. BBL. Must run to be worshiped and adored
very good! Enjoy, gramma :)
dope
dopa
that's what you could call me, sorry
no do4 for you today, rubyfoo. Cold turkey!
dystopia is a phantom, non?
ah oui, ma amie!
or is it mon amie?
fireflies! Good grid. A few really odd words.
Good grief! Congrats. When did you start?
Congrats Sprite
yay for sprite and off I go for a while
ter!
{{molly}}
way before you arrived, gramma
that was supposed to be see you later* duh
I better get busy.

Yes...and Zack did go for a little while.
Oooh! Glad to hear that Lickety is home as well.
Good. Maybe Zack will slowly ease into enjoying Halloween.
hi car! :)
We'll see!
Hi! {{hugs}}
indeed sue and car... moving is crap, but a new start should help us all
oh good, car, as molly says, perhaps he will gradually make peace with Halloween even if he never even really likes it
Oooh! SH 4/7! Yea, Baby!!!!!

hi all.. hagd, sue.. high corssy
I read that, crossy, and it was indeed interesting and quite sweet

...although I should tell you the joke my PhD advisor (who was Hungarian) told me about the difference between the Hungarians and the French -
he said that the French leave without saying goodbye, while the Hungarians say goodbye without leaving. I am obviously partly Hungarian :-)

kind of likemywifenever hanging up the phone on her own initative,if i didnot hurry her along orif other peopledidnot have lives,i swear she wouldstillbe on that call toher mother she made in 1991 when we starteddating
ok, now I REALLY am leaving (or am I?)
i can do dirty limericks i f youl ikes uze...
and can put up with my space bar
aggravating.. get a blue screen of death on my laptop, and then the error message disappears before I can read it! Switched to desk top
hate itwhen that happens:(
Java update had just downloaded, wonder if it is connected to the problem.. who knows
could be,ialso had a java reminder thismorn..which i shelvedforlater
ifi did every java update in the last 10 years,my hard drive would be jam packedwith java update drivers lol
you mean the old one is not removed by the update? eek
the oldprogramgoes..but the driverforthe update itselfremains
and i amteasing,the drivers are smalland it wouldtakethousandstofilla harddrive
i can see a new keyboard is first on the list today
h'mm, is there a cleanup program.. lol, crossy, I am so gullible bc of lack of knowledge
i use c cleaner aloy it is free and very good
www.priform.com i think
ok.. I remember you mentioning that in the past..
http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner
thats the one
tyvm.. copy that
it can clean oldfiles,fragmentedfiles and can also fixregistry errors
remindsme,ishould use it now..and itcan run while you do other things;0
that is a great feature
you start the program,then minimalize the tab to the bottomofyour page and it willflash when it isready
"a constantly recurring musical phrase" = os8.. might have known that if I were musically talented
c cleaner is one of those rare free programs that you would actually pay for if you could..calibre being one otherone i can think of right at the topof what passesformymind
www.newsmap.jp is another
made note of that too, ty
calibreis if you own an e-book readerother than a kindleofcourse,and are into book downloading and file conversion
have a Kindle.. and the new ones are impressive, so it goes with technology.. buy something and it will immediately be improved!
the kbo voxbeing the new darling flavour of the month reader at this time
hello everybody
my issue with kindleis its proprietary format aloy..you have tobuy from amazon,with a nook or a sony or a kobo,we can download anywhere and run e-pub files
(((RUBY)))
hi there ruby!
hi again, all!
good issue, crossy
hi sue!
(I finally did leave, crossy, and am now in my office after a nice brisk walk)
indeed,since crossy now has over 350 books on his nook and would be broke if that was a kindle lol
lolsue
my eyes are all blurry.....
So 5 and gomorra.. my last word. Must leave this happy group and get back to work.. ciao, all! thanks for the info, crossy (-:
and speaking of e-books here i offer a torrent(for those who are comfortable with them) that offers every fiction book published in north america and uk from 2003 to 2011(130 gig or so) seems a russian got tired of the limited party approved selections lol..as with all things like this,knowledge is power and use at own risk.....

there is a list..i think culling the download would be hell:(

Hi ruby! What's the matter?
hi, all. what a fun grid! fireworks...
Good Morning Everybody! How are you all today?
se
good morning everyone
Hi Flosey
And everyone else :-)
great thanks Nef, and you?
hi Sally
Ruby, have you given up? Hope all is well
What is wrong with her, do you know? Will have to look back in chog.
I'm fine; just trying to work o bit on DH's computer (I'm Babbling on my own computer though). His computer is so slow that it take about 5 minutes to start up!
Ruby said she couldn't see well enough to continue
hope it's nothing more than tired eyes from staring at the grid
343 words; is it just the size of the grid or something else?
hope it is just the size
OK, I've looked back and she just says she has blurry eyes, so don't know if it's tiredness or something else.
I'm just starting and am already seeing weird phantoms with letters that aren't even here!
My first phantom was spinach!
WOW, sally! That's what I first saw too! Why? I don't know
en atic
close enough thanks Mema, gave me 2 words I didn't have yet
There are three starting that way :-)
thanks Sally, looking
thanks Sally, got it
hope all is well with you ruby..sudden blurrines can often be a sign of larger things
i am hoping it is just a sign for another martini
positive thinking crossy - sure hope nothing more serious
crossy always thinks happy thoughts
yes, have noticed, very healthy way to approach life
has Anniebrook been on at all today? hope she doesn't miss all this smoked salmon - there were several others last night
i have been taught that life is too short to wallow,or to let others doit and drag you down
so so true, Crossy
nothing brings back the zest for lifequite so well as facing deatyh a fewtimes
I can only imagine
though iam too heavy to bungeejump anymore..buti did goup in a bi-plane this summer..wasgreat fun:)
have you ever parachuted?
once years a go..in tandem
two of my kids did - scares me!
they way i thought it was,ifmy instructormessesup,at least he iskissing the ground right along with me!
You know; I never want to bungee jump or parachute (why jump off a sure thing?); but I would love to hang glide
hang gliding is also jumpingoffasure thing lol
daughter did the bungee once - was very happy that she called me after the fact - but once was enough for her
me7,8?
and I'd love to go up in one of those 1 - 2 person mini planes where you are just out there in the wind. Sounds dumb; but what can I say?
hang gliding is done quite a bit here Nef, they come off the mountain across the valley here, we enjoy watching them
but it's a controlled jump, crossy! I could change my mind after the first liftoff
thismorning pigeon i did me7 that i loved e-books
thanks crossy, didn't have that one
I have that one but no me 7,8 combo
i have that one also. thanks though
have no choice,it is eitheruse an e-readerorbuy a bigger house for more books helves...guessi couldempty out the living roombut fora small table and a pair of easy chairs..get 6 more shelves in that way...

another "stuck on" word se7/48 please
they are struggling more than I thought they would (at least they are taking more time)
hi, JBV!
just finished and at the ready for anyone needing a clue - I can be here for a bit longer
good morning. what are the stats for the top row O please?
od7/32 and 8/45
sue, can I ask you a question about your university online resources? Do have have SAKAI - or something similar -
and os8/40
dunno, JBV, would that be something in the library?
hi everyone can i have some clues 4 the 9s please
ti8 and 9
thanks
metal + rock
it's an online resource we have - professors post course material (syllabus, assignments, etc.) and students each have their own worksite
ty
ah, we use blackboard for that
in8/40 and 9/54
but I have a feeling it is not being used to the max - I don't know enough about the technology but I thought it would be a way for students to also communicate with each other, share material, etc.
(I can't help it, I'm a student, but thinking like a teacher)
you can certainly do that with Blackboard, there are discussion boards and whatnot
they also have an online student attendance program - do you have that? students register an absence , more than 3 there are consequences (doesn't affect me as an auditor)
can u clue me the in 8/9 please
Oh! I thought you mean the old slate blackboard! LOL, I guess it's the same kind of thing - we are not using discussion boards at all
no, I don't think so, JBV, although some faculty use clickers to take attendance
just think..ten or20years from now,the brick and mortar schoolswill be obsolete,virtual blackboards, dowloadable texts,professors using gotomeetings.com and speakingto the classon the net via audia and camera...
chant, or modulation of voice -
we heard those predictions years ago, crossy, change comes slow in academe....
class over, bbl
allthe infrastructure forit is available now
yes, and I think some high schools are ahead of the curve - we have one here that just made ALL textbooks available and gave every student a device (not sure which) to read them
my son was in charge this year of sending a live class feed to a handicapped student friend of his
the students are ready, the professors not so much....
no8? pretty please?
I know someone who was just offered a very nice part-time job teaching one university course and she had to turn it down because she could not manage the technology requirements
wow, that's great crossy, what a good kid you have
no 8 - a condition of having bumps (like a leaf or stem)
skype rocks
I LOVE skype - put me in touch with my Italian relatives - so cool!
anyway, nice chatting with you - have to run - see you later and good luck with the grid
tc jbv
jbv, can you cle it differently?
i find that as the wife and i get older,itis often better to concede defeat or at least a tie on the smaller arguments in life.she willcome tome in a tiff about someting,then i can get angry,but then she becomes furious,then i can startraving,buti find a woman can escalate far beyond where men wish to tread cause her next stage is empty the silos and scorched earth..soi say yes you are right with your tiff dear and move on to a good book
clues for the no8 anyone?
By the way. Men NEVER really win the argument.
this i have learned pigeon
I'm glad you 2 guys realize that! :-)
no8: If I agree, I no* my head, followed by round vowel, followed by larger than a town spelt wrongly.
we do learn nef
pigeon, I'm trying to find that word myself
<Cough> Men never win the argument because women are always right <ducks and runs>
ty sally
iam noteven going to touch that one sally
thats what my fater says about my mother lol
:-)
father even
odd word. thanks for the clue
so today she comes to me with some small evil that i have unwittingly did,do i defend? is it worth scorched earth/empty the silos? no?..sorry dear,i will put the seat down next time..
left for a few minutes, reading back, thanks Sally for the no8
np :-)
and as i get older,isitmore..sadly crossy isnot the gunslinger he once was :))
thanks for the clue, Sally. I'd forgotten there was a D in the grid!
crossy, do you clean your toilet every day? I know that I don't; but if the seat is up I feel I HAVE to check and see if it needs to be cleaned
every day nef..mrs is ocd on that
(and more often than not; it usually does need cleaning) So if the seat is Down; I don't *think* to check !
can ofcomet is always on top of the toiletlid
Dh and I have our won bathroom now; it has really helped our marriange! ;-)
marriage
at least once a day someone hasto sprinkle 1/4 can in there scrubit and letit soak
of that i am sure nef
okay; I'll writ it all in English this time: DH and each have our OWN bathroom now....
and the idea of our own bedrooms usedto be crazy now the thought ofone for her,one for him and one for sex almostmakes sense lol
Speaking of DH; he's telling me it's time to do some stuff again. BBL
crossy, this isn't like you. You are normally so positive, and you sound do down today.
do notworry nef,crossy speaks typonese
do -> so
doi?i am sorry,it is a pretty good day sofar
brb
spending too much $$$ last few days but other than that crossy and mrs and crossy jr are fine

Howdilly do, Babblers!
hi again, all!
hi sue
hi, rasta!
I'm rather proud of myself. I just purchased a 60 minute massage from a local spa for $27.00.
wow that's a great price
afternoon babblers!
I know. Believe me, I read the fine print on that one with a hairy eyeball. All legit. And the place is just up the road from me.
morning here, lol, still drinking coffee
Pffth. It's 12:42 here, rasta, and I'm still drinking coffee. My lazy arse didn't get out of bed until 10:45. [[[[[[shamed]]]]]
Help on the first se7: se7,48 please?
Sorry. Don't have that one yet, Erda.
lunchtime here, and im getting soda in my body as fast as i can swallow it...
Chug! Chug! Chug!
id set up an IV, if i thought it would be acceptable...
If you're that thirsty, water would be better. Although, you can't beat the caffeine zap from soda.
I got a seltzer bottle, a bunch of CO2 cans, and have been making my own soda from our well water - very nice in summer. I spalsh of vanilla and 4 drops of stevia makes a terrific cream soda
actually for rehydration plain water is less good - that's why gatorade had salts in it, back when these sports drinks were really thought about and not just "energy" drinks full of sugar...
I do like seltzer. I gave up drinking soda a few years ago. Mostly drink unsweetened ice tea now. I do use Stevia for my coffee. Good stuff!
for *quick* rehydration at any rate
yes, I mostly drink unsweetened ice tea too :)
when I'm not drinking coffee or beer lol
Sometimes nothing but the "fizz" will satisfy.
Ditto, rasta. After all, we're only human!
menity
yes, that's why I got the seltzer. Don't like supporting the sodapop companies, don't like generating plastic bottles, so this works well for me
sorry!
and hi all too lol
Hi, Jeff. No worries. We would prefer you would mistakenly type words we can use though. :-)
and that se 7 is a misspelled army NCO
Your dog is a real cutie, Jeff.
ty-our rescue papillon
i had weened myself off soda for a while, but being on the Weight Watchers plan, diet soda is a "freebie" so i have been relying on it more than i should be for something sweet. i want the sweet, the fizz, the caffeine -- all of it!
Looks like she enjoys a rough life of grooming and pampering.
We had a tough animal year this year-lost 2 dogs and a cat....he's king of the castle now
Oh no! How tragic, Jeff. I definitely feel your pain. I lost two cats within three months of each other. One was ten, the other just a year old.
you know going in that you will outlive them but it's always tough
Always. But the unconditional love is priceless. It's all worth it - for all creatures involved.
does anybody have the se7,48 yet?
Not yet, Erda. I shall ponder it for a few moments.
se+ actress ____ Arthur + cross letter
not Bea Arthur lol
THANK YOU, Jeff!!!

hi ho, hi ho -- back at the flip :)
I just bought one of those "snakes" to clean out sink and shower drains and it works!!! it was disgusting what came out of the drain :(
hi peri. glad it worked, even if it was disgusting.
yep, now the water goes right down the drain :)
drain snake ?? how does it work
you stick the "snake" down the drain, twist and pull it out
I used one & then used vinegar & baking soda & it was running smoothly & sweet smelling!
Turbo Snake, as seen on TV. got it at Target. it is also in some catalogs.
oh that would work in our shower cos the strainer thingie is loose but both kitchen & bathroom sinks have fitted strainer thingies
I also use vinegar and baking soda but not today
the holes mkight be big enough or could they be unscrewed?
no sealed in tight - but would depend on the size of the snake to fit through the holes - will look in hardware stores
much cheaper than a plumber
oh yes peri good old d i y
some sinks have plug that is fixed, but unscrews under the sink.
hmmm mixi can check kitchen but cant get to b/room plugs
shower drains usually either can be popped off, or unscrewed.
shower one is easy - handbasins difficult to get to
no7,32?

so they say goodnight
again
and again
and again...
Annie, I figured you had enough salmon, so I went for cake. : )
and slowly become deranged...
Sort of like here...
Saw 'Rocky Horror' yesterday for Halloween
Molly, that cake is gorgeous...cant wait to have a slice or two
Science Fiction double feature?
In just 7 days...
I can make you a man!!
I watched "Misery" as my Halloween movie. Was supposed to be a double feature with "Silence Of The Lambs" but I was too tired.
annie!! happy birthday?
happy birthday...
Thanks, Dorens :)---do you have power?
thanks, Kaplan :)
I didn't dress up or anything, but I did get up and do the Timewarp
no, no power, no heat, too cold in themorning to want to get dressed!
Oh Dorens, that's awful...keep the fireplace going
going to sleep at a friend's house tonight.. just can't do that anymore.
Im glad youre getting away for the night
trying to get dressed and fix hair, etc when it is cold AND dark is just not working for me anymore. The pioneer spirit is weakening
*Sending out hopeful thoughts that Dorens power will be back on soon*
thank mol, but if you saw the hill I live on, you'd wonder if it would be realistic to hope for it to be done before the weekend!
>>>>>sending good vibes to Dorens...and to the power company
thanks annie. they made me wait 6 days after irene, so I do wish them good vibes, but still harbor just a wee grudge.
During Irene, Liz (dau) have no power for days but she lucked out this time, power is still on but half her town has no power..and the schools are closed, no power there either
This is worse than Irene
Oh wow, that is a LONG time to be without power.
Everything has to be thrown away that is in the frig and freezer
my town hasn't had school this week, but the school i work in does! guess i'm lucky tho, since at least i'm warm when i'm here at school. Should leave soon, want to get to my house before dark so i can pack some things up and still see when i'm there. yes, i lost all m y frozen food then and might again this time tho. the fridge shouldn't be a problem... the house is 53 degrees... the fridge isn't much colder than that is it?
Dorens, You are living in colonial times...bah
yup. feels like it annie.. but at least i have water.. some of my friends who have wells have no water either and that is so much worse
During Irene Liz didnt have water...they all went to live with Doug's mother..I really hope your power is restored soon. Enuf is enuf!
i plan to buy a generator... but none can be found in northern jersey these days
A generator is an excellent idea
I've heard that you should get rid of your perishables if you are without power for longer than 40 hours.
I have to leave for awhile, see you later
bye all. leaving soon myself. might not finish the monster

Hello everyone
Hi Mom
good evening Molly
hi again, all!
hi uusue
So for our Canadian friends, I see that Google is expanding its online bookstore to Canada
Hi Sue
Google has a bookstore?
a huge one, Mom
http://books.google.com/ebooks
hmmm, I did not know that. I will have to check it out. Thank you
all electronic books, including tons of free ones
<--- Still lives in dark ages, where books still have pages : )
<--- on the phone with my dad, who is fine and did not lose power
Good to hear about your Dad, Sue.
I still read books with pages also Molly
indeed.
Uusue, I am showing my sweetie your stop motion animation short on your facebook
so glad about your dad, uusue
I just can't get into reading on a screen. There is something about it that is too sterile for me.
I need a book to fall on my face to let me know I fell asleep :-)
I don't use my reader when print is practical, but it sure is nice for traveling!
lol, mom!
Oh Mom, I can so relate to that comment. : )
i am so into reading on my phone..i love it... i make time to read now...
my son and sweetie both have nooks
for my sweetie it is great, it looks like something he would need for work so if he is caught reading (so far so good) he can just pretend like he was entering information
Rolin, isn't that such small print?
no mom... i have a samsung galaxy 2... its a lovely bright screen and easy to read
that's neat. My phone only makes calls and text
<---- dinosaur
118 words and just now finding the man
body part
<---In the dinosaur corner with Mom. There is no way I could read on a phone screen.
For that matter, there is no way I could do computer stuff on a net book.
<-- patiently waiting for Sue Grafton's and Janet Evanovich's books to arrive at the library.
What letter is Grafton up to Mom?
V is for Vengenance
(sp)
vengence, that looks better
she does one every 2 years but she is approaching 70.
Janet Evanovich always cracks me up :-)
ooohh, she is 71
FIVE here on babble got me started on those
the last one 17, she was made out to be such a slut
anyone have the so 5? my last word and I just can't see it
*Sigh* It will be a sad day when the Z book is done and the Kinsey stories are over with.
Hi Nancy, I don't have it but I'll help you look
I have one that goes with Gomorrah, nancy
this one is available Nov. 14th
molly, maybe she'll be like the hurricane names and start on the Greek alphabet :-)
That's it
I know, but that is at least 8 years away. She will be 79 years old
wow, thanks a bunch uusue, I got it
congrats Nancy
yw, nancy!
I like the alphabet books too and Janet Evanovich
hi all
Sue Grafton does NOT look her age at all.
O
((((Peri)))) hello
-
hi, peri!
no Molly she does not. It is that Kentucky living that does that. :-)
I took my turns at Words with Friends, Mom
guten aben Inge
hi, inge!
ok, I will head there in a few. Then I will scoot off to do the supper dishes.
*Makes a mental note to move to Kentucky* I already have a dawlin' Derby hat. : )
ow
need to feed cat and self, bbs
bye bye Peri
<--- used to own property in Kentucky
you will need to move up north near me, otherwise will talk with a suthern drawl
where, uusue?
ha, now I will have to check the map :-) south of Lexington
That is pretty country down there and they talk with the drawl
near Mount Vernon
beautiful country down there.
<----- loves the drawl
I'd love to be your neighbor Mom, but I already talk with a southern drawl.
you from the south Molly?
If I had a choice of speech I would either want a southern drawl or be british
No, but there is enough drawl here in Maryland.
really? I didn't realize that
and another plot on the Kentucky River east of Richmond, I think
I think southern Kentucky is some of the prettiest land
southeastern
According to my family in Massachusetts, anyone who says y'all has a drawl. : )
my friend lived in Richmond, lovely area
:-) on one of our water towers here, in the city of Florence it is painted Florence y'all
our friends in Canada thought saying y'all was a hoot
I signed a quitclaim deed on the properties but might still be responsible for the mortgages if my ex defaults :-(
I hope he doesn't. Does he live down here?
no, he's in Florida
his daughter lives there, and he wanted to retire close to her
but when we separated her husband told him he was a bum and to get out :-(
so he's been trying to sell the properties, but that's not likely to happen any time soon
Did I hear someone use my name in vain?
whooooo?
wow. no, I doubt it, uusue.
hi all
Never, hoot!
hello
hi, hoot!
Babble did it again! BF home and a huge puzzle!
tx mom
so if anybody wants some nice, cheap property in Kentucky....
what's your definition of cheap sue?
how much land?
I think the plot in Mt Vernon is about 20 acres, maybe, and the Kentucky River one is about 15
oh ! lovely privacy!
those are fair sizes
<--- trying to remember how much would be left on the mortgages
probably about $2000/acre for the Mt Vernon one, and maybe $3000/acre for the other - it has about 1500' of river frontage
what made you all decide to buy land in Kentucky
ex-hubby wanted to retire there
on account of his daughter being nearby - she lives in Mt Vernon
would you split it up or would someone have to buy the entire acreage?
well, they are two totally separate parcels; I don't know if he'd be willing to subdivide them further
okay. If I hear of anyone looking for land I'll let them know
the Kentucky River property was part of a, what, subdivision doesn't sound quite right, but there was a 10-acre minimum size, so that property would probably have to go as a single plot
Richmond is about 1 1/2 hours from here
wow, mom, if someone actually bought even one of them that would be great!
sometimes you hear talk of people wanting to have land if for no other reason than to hunt on it
<--- looks at map
no buildings on the land?
should be .... any
so you are right near Cincinnati, looks like (which I can never spell)
no, no buildings on either property
you spelled it correctly
we are in Edgewood
no. the spell checker fixed it :-)
yes not far at all from Cincinnati
:-)
the one east of Richmond ... is it still considered Richmond?
no, it's quite a bit east of there, on the river
I'll have to get my atlas out :)
and I'll have to remember exactly where it is :-)
I see it
I'm thinking it's about 7 miles NE of Union City
not to far from the Natural Bridge State Resort Park
not that far east, I don't think
there's an almost circular loop in the river NE of Union City and N of College Hill - it's on the south edge of that loop, if memory serves me correctly
I see it
hello all ((((mom)))
hi, TO!
(((((TO)))) hello how are you? How did you fare in the storm?
uusue, I'll be sure to keep an ear out for you.
thank you so much, mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my pleasure
ok. i too the train to the concert
I am so glad you went. Did you stay in town overnight?
I am sure it was a great show
no. lucinda cancelled
jeon
we are friends on facebook, mom, so if you hear anything that's probably the best way to reach me
*squeeeee!*
ooh, didn't have that one, TO!
that is a shame, TO
I will contact you that way if I hear anything
plural it too
howdy babble buddies,back for a few more;))

*Passes Eva some hot chicken soup*
*passes Eva a hot toddy to drink after the chicken soup*
Hi Molly
i made myself some hot chocolate. sadly, it didnt make me feel any better...
milk can make you more congested, eva, I think the chicken soup followed by the hot toddy would work better :-)
Unfortunately Eva, you probably need a few days of rest. Good luck flying that past your boss.
yeah. he would just say "isnt that what you did LAST week?"
i DID have some "soup" for dinner. kinda-sorta tomato soup...
ok, I am going to go watch NCIS and grade exams. Got past halfway on this grid which is about as well as I can hope to do on a work night. See you all later!

mo8/45 any clues
I did wonder why anybody would eat pre-prepared rice givnen that it only takes 20 inutes to cook fresh...
herein north america glant we are in a great big hurry toour graves and have no time lol
but in the last few years,i have learnedtoslowdown
me too crossy - do you have the 'slow food movement' there?
that's my own recipe, BTW, handed down through the family for 1.5 generations
**stealth hugs to glantarell**
i have a personal slow food movement..the dutch oven never leaves my sight and as much foodasican get comesfrom a 100milestore
ty stidmama - all hugs warmly welcomed
no microwave in my house!
I admit a fondness for the microwave...it warms my coffee well.
remind meglant togiveyoumy mumschicken and dumpling secret
dutch oven? is thbere another name for that?
slow cooker
my microwave defrosts meals I made loviongly and froze
ah, i love my slow cooker
and i also have a jamacian sweet and spicy pulledpork recipiefor aslowcooker
get thee behind me satan

I would be a vegetarian if it were not for pork
acck! damn space bar
especially slow cooked pork
i use,honey and mustard,and apples,and tomatoes..mmmmm and onions...
and a porkloin...
an chilli sauce,,,
drool
apart form the chilli
crossy, you need to hit your keyboard with a can of air
we have teens, no microwave would be highly difficult. Although, to be honest we usually only use it to reheat tea and soup and such.
and itsimmerson lowfor7 hours and is servedon fresh onion buns
more drool...
not chilli..chillisauce...
bigdifference
i must share an old scottish recipe for stoved chicken
a dutch oven is not the same as a slow cooker. a dutch oven is a large pot, usuaully cast iron that is placed inside a regular oven to cook food. A slow cooker is a something that has a pot inside a holder of some sort and is electric
layers of chicken, bacon (so you'd like it LOL) and onion and chicken, slow cooked in stic
possibly my favourite meal ever
ty forthe correction peri,but my slowcooker has a removablesleeve that doubles as adutch oven
it can goin the oven as well
does chillli sauce have chilli in it (silly question I know) - because the one food I am completely unable to tolerat is chilli - even in tiny quantities
ok, what model do you have, crossy, that is something I would want
sec...
en7?
itis the "rival"brand of slowcooker in a ovalshape,not round
majmom, did you get the mo8?
ovalis best
hey peri. mmmmm. glantarell, that sounds really yummy
thanks crossy
en7, e + a whole collection of people of one ethnic group
np,weuseit a lot
My dutch oven has legs for going in a fire pit... but we can make it work in the gas oven if we are careful. I LOVE the dutch oven, but because it's so heavy I rarely use it.
thx book, i should remember that one from before
I thinkmy sister has one but it is smal. how much dos you slow cooker hold, crossy? how many quarts?
slowcooking isindeed the best cooking
dutch ovens are quite heavy
iam notsure peri,buti can fit a 5 poundroast
and taters and onions and carrots
I have an enamelled aluminium casserole dish wioth a high domed lid thta was designed to be used on the stove or in the oven on a really low heat - bought it about 30 years ago - is that a dutch oven do you think?
then I think it is bigger than the one my sister has. am thinking of giving that one away and buying a larger one.
maybe glant, never heard of one made of aluminum
norhave i
mine is clay and firedlining
pretty thick aluminium - more than 1/4 inch thick - it was some kind of party plan thing
Club?
sold like tupperware
enamelled aluminum, sounds pretty lightweight, yes?
e
so thick that it feels heavy
mine isvery heavy
about 10poundsin weight
iam always worriedaboutdropping it
this is maybe 4 or 5 lbs
or maybe I'm eggagerating - I'll go measue
4lbs 4 oz and it was Club - brown enamel exterior, aluminium interior
my entireslowcooker was 45 dollars..but i imagine if i broke the linerit would be moretoreplacejust the liner
about a foot in diameter
I had one of the original rival slow cookers. had it over 20 and very rarely used it. gave it away when I moved in with my sister
as the budgets tighen up,ifind that i amreverting to the waysmy parentsand grandparent cooked and avoiding allthe "preparedsfoods"
cheap cuts of meat work very well in c=slow cookers
well i'm off to cook some dinner on the stovetop where it belongs 8-)
hi everyone
howdy jen
The advantage to the days that I don't have work as as sub is that I CAN and DO spend time in the kitchen. And I still love to cook. And it's coming back to me how to do things, although it had been a long time since I made most of these dishes.
hey jen!

Ooo Glant. I do something just like that only mine has carrots and celery in it. It's good. The beauty of a crock pot is that you can put something in it, it cooks all day, and when you get home from work, the house smells amazing.

hi all, jumping in off cue, watching bbca, what in the heck is a consultant in the er, translated to American?
hospitalist? or Er med doc?
not sure! in the er there is this person who seems doctorish, but introduces self as a consultant, just trying to id them
ti8?
hiya nef
compound word, shirl; metal + rock
hi Jen
goofy word
dang those compound words, thx nef
shdy, there are consultants in some medical systems; also called specialists
ok, still not sure how to translate it to the hospital system i am familiar with, oh well...
I've never heard of a consultant in the ER either.
clue for the top left O word please?
if you haven't been in a hospital in the past 5 years or so; things are really changing there
i don't think i've been an er patient in the uk
HI> HI and Hi. Shady were the heck have you been
Well that's it then. I do my best to stay away from hospitals.
hi herin *hug* been staying busy with tutees and sick dogs, popping in for a few right before bed. How have you been?
Good. is the pups all well now though?
Even here in the US, though. I had my thyroid gland removed 2 years ago and that hospital system had "Consultants" for docs; the hospital I had my hip replacement in this summer has "specialists"
hi herin
clue for the top O please????
ty, nef, i guess i have been lucky enough to avoid hospitals since they made these new job descriptions! yay
o + charity gift
How is that even a word?
How is your hip doing Nef?
yeah, what is it?
herin, yes, bear is still a little left side leaning and shaky, falls if he tries to act like a pup. Down to 20 mg prednisone every other day, so hopefully can resume arthritis meds soon! **big sloppy kiss from Bear*
awwww poor pup.
he still smiles, and gets canned food mixed with his dry, pretty lucky old man
My two cats are arguing over the pillow
nef, please clairy
clarify
I'm doing great, Molly. But if I play on the floor with the little kids too long (like I did on Friday and again on Sunday) It's too much
Nef get the kids to play on the couch with you
k, herin, get another identical pillow for the munchkins
Really wouldn't matter. They are like kids.
herin, what exactly is a consultant in the er? watching the show on bbca
What is teh show?
24 hrs in the er
no idea
Glad to hear you're doing great Nef. I guess there are a few things you need to be careful about. I'm sure that is better than the way it was before.
drat, drat, drat
Jen', that word is a genus of dragonflies
Just reading on Seek jobs let me look
Molly, I feel so good now that I forget to take it easy when I'm with my grandson and my "adopted" grandkids
cute kitty of the day, my tutee saw one of the new babies "nursing" on the rug this morning, he purrs so loud you can hear it over the tv, hilarious!
so a marathon soon, nef?
Oh good news Nef. I know you were having difficulties while you waited for the hip replacement. I'm glad you are getting to enjoy things more now. You deserve that.
nope, shdy. I'll leave those to redturtlehead (who's also a nurse here and had hip surgery this summer. She IS a runner
Shady seems to me that they are like a doctor nurse
lol, nef, you know i speak in hyperbole with a big friendly grin
dr-nurse, of course, that's what i wanted to be when i grew up!! hehe
I've never been a runner, shdy. Too many bouncy parts! ;-)
Well they are doctors but do the emergancy things that nurses are not trained to do and fill in before the doctor apears
funny, nef, i was a runner when i was 10-15 and had no bouncy parts, and hadn't discovered cigarettes yet
now THAT makes sense, herin, ty, ty, ty
Sorry I know what I mean
no, herin, i was being serious, that does make sense
herin, I've found it interesting that nurses around the globe have huge differences in education and training
tap, tap, herin?
Well I am not discrediting nurses but I think these doctors are like doctor floaters when the nurse isn't allowed to do it
i get it, your education level determines what you're allowed to do
od?
Well I think they may also be Residents as well
i don't have enough letters behind my name to teach graduate students, but i can privately them when the prof can't teach them
missing word = tutor
Od = O plus give
to steal from Karlee, that word is stoopid
thx herin
I kow what you mean, herin; not trying to pick on you at all. Here in the US if a nurse works in ICU or ER they have to pass ACLS courses where they are taught to run codes and intubate til the docs get there. I've had to run a code (code= when a patient's heart stops and we call a code for immediate help in the hospital) for up to 10 minutes in the past
Maybe these doctors are fillers. I am not very good on words
i'm also not picking, fully agreeing, maybe i just don't express myself clearly
i very much understood your description of how they are a little more than a nurse, a little less than a doc
And we had an RN who came to us (highly educated with years of ICU experience) from an Asian country who'd never listend to heart or bowel sounds before
I am a bit of gibber monkey today.
May I please have a clue for ne6-24? Thanks
lost me, herin, gibber monkey?
To nullify ne6
think opp. of positive
Residents are docs who have completed their education and internship and are learning on the job; still students; have passed their exams; but are usually working long shifts (24 or 36 hours) at a stretch
no8 the first?
Thanks much jain.
YW!!!
Don't have no8
yes, nef, i worked as a unit clerk about 20 years ago, ended up working 3-11 weekdays and 6A-11P weekends, got to know the system as it worked in Houston, length of coat indicates position, etc
fun grid huh?
It's Jai, rhymes with Thai
Yeah, really fun....
even the secretary doesn't have to respect med students!
Gibber Monkey - Just gibbering about nothing
JAIJAI were have you been
I worked on it this morning, but I just ran out of steam
In College learning to be a minister! <hugs>
ty, herin, but your gibbering defined a word for me, so i'm a gibber listerner? hehe
I have an no 8 which starts out sounding like an over the counter anti sleep aid and ends sounding like new York C***
It is Rev. Jai now!
Jai you realise you were one of the first people that said Hi to me
LOL!
nice spelling, huh? no wonder no fireworks!
Really, herin??? Wow! You remember that???
anti sleep aid? never use it, i value my sleep -- unless it's caffeine that is
great clues tonite, nef, i'm mostly chatting, well, gibbering, but each of your clues gives me a few words
Do you remember my daughter, Knutmeg? She's in college, too!
as a college student many of my classmates used it. I tried it once and my roomie couldn't wake me up for the test the next day
Jai I looked at the grid from when I started
I remember that
Ok the b.f has handed in his man card
Kool, herin! It's nice to "see" you!
May I please have a clue for ne7-36 the 2nd? Thanks
funny, nef, i use a sleep aid because otherwise i don't sleep. was having trouble waking up at 4 if i took it after about 11P. Know what the doc said? (Big Bucks). "if you take it late, take half" geez i'm dumb
It's the pl. of ne6
My b.f is so slack
starts the same as the other ne7 right before but add opp of off
I have early waking insomnia...I sleep for 4 hours, then wake up...what a pain...
hi all, po6/27 pls
mine is the opposite, jai, hardly ever fall asleep on my own. once i do the house can fall down and i won't wake up 'til i'm done
Peri!!!! hi!!!
hi peri!
Hi peri
How hard is it to ring and organise a mechanic?
Actually, I have trouble with both ends of sleep...I guess I have to get used to "cat-napping"...ick...
I feel in a deep fog a lot of the time...
Jai, gapeach and I are also Reiki practitioners.
herin, hibby or other half or whatever is a mechanic, nothing is fixed... so very hard!
I have trouble staying asleep
A mechanic?? LOL! Imppossible!
if i catnap, i wake up with no idea what day/year/life it is!
I really CAN spell..just cannnot type!! LOL!!!
Same here shdy!
Apparently it is nigh on impossible for him to do it. If I could fix this car I would
worst in the winter when you wake up, it's dark, and it's 5:30, so you make coffee, shower, get dressed, panic because you're late. I quit napping after that happened a few times
Last night I fell asleep whilst on my pc talking to friends via facebook. I was lying flat out on the couch with the laptop on my knees for two hours
I am a very good napper but sometimes it makes it harder for me to sleep at night. no nap today but I am not tired and it is past 10 pm
Oh, yes! I have done that! Thanks for the memory, shdy! LOL!
Peri, like the po6/27 toed shoes that some women wear.
so your knees were nice and toasty!
Same here, peri
ty Molly was getting a headache looking for that one
The laptop is on a board and cooling mat the point is how I managed to not twitch or move is beyond me. My mother has seen my do this and can't believe it
Ty, Molly..did not see that one
i hardly ever sleep, hubby prefers 12+ hours a day, we are both baffled by the other's needs
It eluded me for a while too, which is funny because I bash that shoe look all the time in a fashion blog.
Yeah..I have the same issue..my fiance sleeps like a log...Me...forget it...I wake up if a feather falls from my pillow
Damn ikea Ektorp couch it eats me
pe7 before the male fun part?
fw,bye for now, good to see you Jai
A person in the confessional is pe7
Good to see you, too! Bye!
have that one, need the other before it
Bye Peri
Have not got that one, sorry
bye peri, it was nice to see you
looking for it, shirl
got it, writing instrument + pt of have food
something like prisoners? where the singular isn't a word, but plural is?
Shirl...writing tool + past tense of eat, plural
I just got it now...ty...
Oops, too late.
Kept trying the singular...
ok, no more cluing from me today **hangs head and giggles at self*
Hi Anyone I missed
i just noticed, is today kitty icon day? youknow i never bother to change mine
No, no..keep cluing!
LOL! The kitty icon is just my standard pic...what luck...
seriously!!!! laughing aloud and alone
not at the kitty, but the cluing concept
These last 76 are painfull and I am using more words
i honestly got stuck at the beginning, i start in the upper left and work my way across and doen
Yeah.. I gave up on the idea of fireworks back at about noon EST...LOL
still missing an upper left o but haven't listed so don't know waht it is. Usually 300+ grids are easier
I am here to shamelessly get clues and chat!
I found that I found teh first 260 off the top of my head and now nothing
You must be good..I only got to 100 without the clues...Wow!
funny, herin, that's how many i have left! but chatting more, only getting words when someone clues one
Me too!
that's why you never see me any more!
I got the od 7 & 8 if anyone needs those
awwww
i used to start the grid early, finish, then clue
now i jump in after hubby goes to bed, and mostly chat
I used to absolutely live for Babble...all day, every day... then I started college...and I long for the days when I lived for Babble...but I was seriously ill then, so I guess it all evens out
yes, jai, i would rather be healthy, any day, even if I do love Babble and the community
AAAGH, stroke boy thinks he can do anything now - he just tipped over the trash, brought "stuff" to tear up, and when i looked at him funny he staggered to the left and fell down. REALLY?
please understand that stroke boy is a 14 year old large dog, not my son or husband!
on Thursday it will be 2 weeks since his stroke
he's the bear in my name
O POOR PUPPY
Yes, this is true!
Sorry about the doggy! That is awful!
goofy, crazy creature, big fuzzy brown boy, thinks he can misbehave now that he's "sick"
I jst found a bunch of ha words I missed...duh!
He has made a remarkable recovery, went from not able to stand to almost previous normal, now i just want him off the prednisone, which made him better, so he can get back on his rimadyl and adequan for big old dog hip pain
Or should I say, <aha> ...Bad pun...
OOO the prednisone..peeing all the time???
That is great Shdy
I am glad he is recovering..it must have been very scary
and hungry and thirsty. Little girl, the shady part of my name, has been on prednisone forever for allergies, and she will do anything for food
I hated when my animals had to take that stuff...ugh! In-out-in-out...
i cried, cried, cried, I know it will happen, but don't want it. I have been working the mastiff rescue organization so that after bear and shady are gone (theyre 13 and 14) i can focus on the positive of a new rescue
I have to go.. my neck is hurting, and I need to get off the keyboard..but I may be back for the flip! Thanks, everyone!
My cats are my world
Night Jai.
nite, jai, hope your neck relaxes!
My cats <were> my world...but now they are all gone...
See you all!
You just have to love them while they are here
The cat in the pic died thhis year...He was only two.
herin youwould laugh at the new babies here, they were tiny July 1 when we adopted them, Cleo is regal, tony is fuzzy and clumsy and cute as hell
When we went away for two weeks the car hadn't even turned off in our drive before I dived out of the car for kitty cuddles
Oh no, 2? how heartbreaking
I love all 5 of my creatures, so much, the older ones just need me more right now, instead of them providing me with happiness all the time, i need to make themcomfortable and happy
14 is insanely old for Bear, who was around 90 pounds in his prime
What sort of dog is Bear?
all of my creatures are rescues and not sure, but Bear looks like a Newfoundland, just much smaller
awwww
i put a pic of a real Newfie on my wallpaper, and hubby thought it was Bear
Newfies are cute. My friend is selling some of his hunting dogs and OM they aer going to be ginormous
i love big dogs and small cats. thus the mastiff lean for when i lose my old ones
My friend has a rescue Douge. She rescued another one but sadly she died because of shitty breeding
These are the boar dogs for sale: http://tinyurl.com/6xlg488 look at the size of those paws
I detest the irresponsible breeders, where a puppy is 500 - 2500 $. I am a strong supporter of rescuing, where usually the dog is damaged emotionally, but a wonderful companion for a patient person
*said with a purring rescue kitty on my arms and batting at the keyboard
The guy had 11 puppies in the litter. He didn't just breed for the hell of it. He needed a specific type of dog for hunting
Miss cleo hunts lizards, birds, and dragonflies all day, then wants momma at night
did he need 11 of them?
No. That is why he is selling 8 to other people that use them for hunting
sorry herin, i am not being confrontational at all, i just lack communication skills, tend to speak what runs through my head, no filter
May I please have a clue for an6-18? Thanks
O no I understand. This is what he said as he is all for rescues too. But he needed them for a working purpose. They will make great hunting dogs. And before people get all up in my bus about it the animals they hunt are devastating wild life
i was definitely arguing, it just seems that we skipped from irresponsible breeders to a specific responsible breeder. 2 different planets, in my book
um,... what i meant was definitely not arguing....geez
O yes. For sure. This guy would make sure they get good homes and such. I hate puppy farmers
i won't be typing tutor any time soon!
me too herin
EKK just got a call to repair the car $1200 approx
i have no problem with responsible breeders, but since i don't intend to show my dogs, i can do the most good by rescuing
yay! is that a reasonable price?
<wandering back in again> YIKES!!! That's a lot of $$$ for car repairs!
A responsible breeder will always take back the animal and it will always be sold desexed and chipped and only breed to keep the breed going and not for money.
omg, hilarious, i am watching the local 10pm news. The big Catholic boys' school (therefore the big girls' school too) have changed the time of their prom to 3PM so that everyone can watch the LSU/Bama game. Welcome to the south, they just mentioned a $10,000 ticket
I was talking to a Bedlington Terrier breeder and she was taking back a pup because the owner got sick
sorry, herin, breeders are not hilarious, i just keep jumping around in my gibbering
And yes Nef YIKES. It isn't bad but we are waiting for the other guy to get to us
what's the matter with the car, herin?
Aircon compressor is dead
We are just grateful that there holiday money to cash out
i like the responsible breeders, not the ones who think that breeding a male to his daughter is acceptable. Genetically that is inviting the sorts of inbred breed-oriented problems that we "accept" as normal nowadays
Shdy there is one Douge breeder that doesn't care about her stock which is really sad
My big dog shouldn't have hip issues, my dalmatian shouldn't have ear issues, etc, etc, that's all inbreeding
she should be shot - in the right big toe, then the left big toe, then the rest of the toes one at a time, then the right thumb..........
My friends Rotti was a pup street rescue lived to 4 years before his hips and hocks finally gave up
sorry if that sounds crazy, i am from the south..
No Shdy that is my thought.
and just a wee bit passionate about this topic, shdy? ;-)
4 years is not acceptable. Hubby wants to buy a rott, when the market has them from 400 - 3000, he wants the 400. Healthy animal??
Little bit, nef **sheepish grin**
jeebus Shady Can i kick those people in the nuts seriously Rotties need hip scores and responsible breeders do that and they also check for heart worm etc
My parents got a Staffy for $500 from a breeder sans papers
but hubby was a complete idiot when we met and a slow learner. He still thinks the dad/daughter thing is fine, because they can be registered
my sister is a vet; I don't think she's ever had a pet from a breeder. She doesn't really like it when people come in with certain breeds because she's pretty sure she knows who the breeders are
When i was a kid we got an Irish Setter from a breeder as an ex breeding dog. She was as dumb as a brush
But Nef part of responsible dog ownership is researching the breeder same as with kits
i will make sure that by the time he gets another, it will be a rescue. Plus, he gave his last one away because he couldn't have it at his rental house. That is not an option in my world. I rented 3 bedroom houses for 12 years before I finally bought, because the house was for my dogs. This house, i bought the pool for Bear, and it came with a house
our current dog (a shitz-poo is dumber than dirt; but cute. I always say he got through life on his looks (and we rescued him from being pout down too)
We wont have another dog until we buy our own place.
my young (7) dog is dumb as dirt. When my ex found him he was about the size of my shoe and almost starved to death. Now he's 90 something pounds and the sweetest, dumbest, snarliest, idiot that i love
My friend just rescued 2 more kitties. She says she is fostering the ginger guy until he is big enough but i have a feeling that cat is going to stay with the other 3 cats
the woman from the mastiff org asked me if could volunteer, i told her there is no way i can foster, i fall in love and cannot have tons of dogs.
Mastiffs what sort?
especially with abused/abandoned dogs
I'm a softy; that's why we have 2 cats (and I'm allergic to them!)
i'm leaning towards bull, although the organization deals with bulla nd english. While the cane courso is gorgeous, i don't get the impression that i want to deal with one
The emergancy doctor i had to see as I was sick said I shouldn't have cats. He can bite me
I could never foster pets because I'd want to keep all of them
me too, nef
lmao, herin, really
Yep. I have mild asthma.
If I just change the bed once a fortnight and vacuum it I am fine
my tutee today looked around as we were sitting in the back yard, and laughed, said that she loves that my house is a menagerie - 3 dogs, 2 cats, everyone doing what they please
Yep. Animals rule our house
hehe, i'm allergic to the air - dogs, cats, horses, (fur) birds (feathers) grass, trees (pollen) dust and mold. As a kid that translated into "You can't avoid the air, so just do whatever and take some shots" I was so lucky!
Miss Cleo is curled up at my hip now, apparently kitty bed time
Awwww. My cats have taken over the pillows
but are they sharing?
heck no. Pandora teh white has levels of hate not love. she just tolerates the otehr black cat lucius
that is wonderful! except for lucius
the black
Both rescues. Pandora has mental issues. She spent 6 months in a crappy caravan and wasn't feed properly and left alone alot
so now it's her %#@!*ing pillow, end of conversation!
Yep. Well he is on it so too bad. She is behind on the other pillow sleeping on her head
aren't they hilarious?! Tony and Cleo seep on their backs, legs fully extended every which way, laugh, laugh, laugh
Have you seen the kids pillows from ikea?
no, i haven't
Just seeing if I can find an image
we made the biggest mistake earlier, we got home, Scott said "have you seen Tony" i said no and called him, then went inside to feed old man Bear his canned/dry food mix. Next thing i knew there were these 2 insanely loud whiny crazy cats, thinking the can was for them! so i had to get bear's food and meds mixed, then quickly open a can for the cats, before they lost their minds, Cleo actually ran across the floor and hit her head on the freezer instead of jumping up to eat - goofy kids!
i know i have pics, and i suspect i have your email somewhere, because i am much more likely to play with transfers of files between 4 and 7 am
for that to make sense, replace the word "because" with "but"
http://tinyurl.com/43unaur This little guy. It comes with this separate inflatable innards but we didn't like that. We filled it with beans. As we don't have kids and the cats don't rip it up it is safe.
darn cute not black widow!!
We filled it with bean bag beans
so safe for the munchkin prr-kitties
It is I would buy it for a dog and put stuffing in it the kind you get for toys.
Nico (our little, um young, dog) loves squeakie toys, we get him one every time we go to petsmart to buy food
We got a stuffless toy that squeeks for lucius it is a dog toy
fun - the old dogs couldn't possibly be less interested - if it isn't edible, they don't want it. Nico loves any toy you give him
What about peanut butter kongs?
the older 2 never liked them before Nico appeared in my life, so haven't really bothered since. If it squeaks, Nico will love it, and he plays with the newest one, too
goofy mutt
We find puzzle food balls fun
old dogs don't care, in this house, nico is retarded, literally
awwww
not politically correct, but he almost starved when he was very young and developing, and i think it caused brain damage, he is very loveable, but unbelievably dumb
For some reason the special ones appeal to me
people don't believe me, you can't describe it, you have to witness it. Scott, for example, didn't believe me until he lived here, saw Nico, he is the most entertaining creature ever
Yep. Does he do the waking up confused look?
You can't possibly be around him and not love him. Plus, if you need a smile or pick-me-up, Nico is perfect
Honestly, no , he looks more confused when he's been up all day, kitty Cleo is the squinty-eyed, confused, looks like Mom when she wakes up!
We used to call DeeDee (Diesel) The Retarded Roti as there was nothing in his head
If you lived on the same continent, i would invite you over to observe Mr. dumbus
you would laugh
I love the weird dogs
he is insanely loveable
I have 60 left this is stupid
any time you need a laugh, seek out Nico, he will be sitting on the couch, on the back of his butt, like an old human man, with crazy eyes all bugged out and white on the edges. You can't help but laugh
Heheeh
go back to your 60, i really enjoyed chatting with you tonight. Now I'll poof so you can get those 60! Have a great night
Have a great night yourself
nite, really poof *now*
nightes
