nbt

Hi people.

1:38 am

nbs

1:39 am

hi neil -- not uch chatting going on

1:39 am

*much

No. Noticing that.

1:40 am

wtg jilli, hi Neil, back from getting a snack

1:40 am

nice photo of you, neil

Oh thanks... needed a shave though. lol

1:41 am

nice smile

Ha. Thanks flosey... but I'm looking a little too positive. Might ruin my image. :P

1:43 am

that needing-a-shave look is au courant these days but I prefer clean shaven.fine

1:43 am

oops

I do too jilli... but it's hard to maintain that well with me and Ijust don't want to bother some days. Shaving is a pain.

1:43 am

have it jilli, no pb

1:44 am

glad, flosey -- but the hands we got at bridge served as enough of a penalty.

1:45 am

what a night

1:45 am

did anyone ever figure out what caused the mixup?

Actually re: the "negative/positive" thing, I have a funny cartoon someone drew... gonna put it on photobucket. Should give you a laugh.

1:50 am

not sure jill, may have to do with the spare table - boards there from previous round should move to next playing table and new boards go spare, MAYBE

1:50 am

the only thing I can imagine

Ok here it is... it features our friend Brad [who we call "Scandal Pants" sometimes and who says "totes" instead of "totally"] and me... although I'm sure neither of us ever looked this bad, haha: http://tinyurl.com/7okxnpb

You will have to click the image to enlarge it so you can read it.

Ugh. Photobucket resized it smaller so it's still just bout impossible to read even when you click on it. Bummer... sorry about that.

1:57 am

Got a vague Idea of what it's about

If there are any words you can't see I can tell you what they are.

Or attach it to an email and send it?

1:58 am

The email idea is best

It cracked up both up though... he printed it out and has it on his fridge.

Yep, sure. I'll do that now.

Sent.

2:07 am

Thanks. I'll have a look and then I'm off to bed.

2:10 am

Haha! And what happened to the puppy?

2:13 am

Ummm, I don't know? Haha. Night jilli... sweet dreams.

6:58 am

just bought a chair, much-needed, for my computer desk and discovered that it came disassembled in about 100 pcs.

6:59 am

oh that is awful

6:59 am

will have to hire somebody to assemble it even though I am pretty good at that, usually. I couldn't even get the wheels into the base!

6:59 am

how annoying is that?

I love assembling stuff.

6:59 am

usually I do, too. Can you come over?

6:59 am

Maybe your gardner will be able to help

6:59 am

{{{{ruby}}}}my dearest friend, you, rattled? never.....you can do this, girl, you really can.

6:59 am

hi hokie

7:00 am

hi, mom

7:00 am

I'll make a strawberry tart with garden strawberries!

I am watching the French Open right now. I'm afraid that is the closest I'll get, ruby.

7:00 am

one of my favorite birds is in the grid ... 5/20

7:01 am

{{rose, mom, mrp, and everybody))

7:01 am

HEY,, just who you calling a tart?????

7:01 am

I thought I could en5 you with the tart!

7:01 am

<-- been called worse

I had a few strawberries this year on my plants, but baby slugs ate on most of them. :-(

7:02 am

lol, so have i. ruby, had my MRI for my knee tonight. unbelievable experience.

7:02 am

this is the first year that there have been so many. They are not very big but are intensely flavorful

7:02 am

(touched a baby slug yesterday eeeew)

I like the small ones best.

7:03 am

Have you ever seen a banana slug?

7:03 am

can you imagine ME lying perfectly STILL for 3/4 hour.....well, i didi. nearly killed me.

7:03 am

I'm probably the only person who likes MRI's. They put me to sleep instantly, it must be the rhythmic pounding! lol

granny, I have had one on my knee and my elbow. The technicians told me the elbow was the absolute worst body part for an MRI. They weren't joking.

7:03 am

have tiger slugs in my garden....uuuugggghhh!

7:04 am

I'm afraid to ask what are tiger slugs.....

7:04 am

one year we had "doody slugs", hundreds of them

7:04 am

ah, well, as we speak, my pics are on their way to america, where my designer knee is about to be made. lol

not only are you lying still, but you have to have your arm up above your head and twisted backwards, and it's twice as long as the knee one!

7:05 am

I think my arm would fall asleep

I didn't know there were so many different kinds of slugs. They're all gross to me.

7:05 am

ruby, tiger slugs, about 3 to 6 in4es long, and striped. yuch!!

7:05 am

I've had full body ones and brain scans

Ready for the transit of Venus sue?

7:08 am

7:08 am

granny, the decompressions I know about involve removing bone and are usually done for osteonecrosis - is that your issue?

7:09 am

medusa (that's Fr spelling LOL)

7:09 am

sarah, males who go down into a place underground

7:09 am

7:09 am

7:09 am

7:10 am

Here it's at 6:03 or so

7:10 am

uuusue, torn rotator cuff, and osteo-arthritis. involved removing bone from my clavicle...that tickled....not

7:10 am

Sue, is there a site on line? It's going to be cloudy here

7:10 am

7:11 am

the last time I saw a solar eclipse, was at the Inst for Advanced Study and we had our hippie priest, several little kids (including my son who was 6) and it was wonderful. Father Brown said a prayer and we all watched the projection through my backwards telescope

7:11 am

yes, bichon, here's one: http://venustransit.gsfc.nasa.gov/

7:12 am

hi uusue

7:12 am

you won't be able to see this directly - you can either watch a live stream or project the sun's image onto a screen - but Venus is very small compared to the Sun

7:12 am

hi, mom!

7:12 am

sarah, you get the clue at 7:09?

7:12 am

I'll try the telscope trick again

7:13 am

9:44 am

hiya crossy :) Happy Queen's day

9:50 am

bbiab

9:50 am

10:01 am

10:01 am

phantom: hitmen

10:02 am

that's what they say in the movies

10:02 am

gee .. I've never called my penis anything

10:02 am

I'm so out of touch

10:02 am

I've just been deadheading roses, one of the few pleasant non-weeding garden chores

10:03 am

how about "big ru"?

10:03 am

hi ruru :) I refuse to take you literally there.

10:03 am

do you play :Truckin while you do it ruby?

10:03 am

ruby is a headhunter

10:03 am

10:03 am

10:05 am

sorry.

10:05 am

yay, sprite!!!

10:05 am

no need to say sorry, it is a very effective way to find words :D

10:05 am

10:06 am

what's in two weeks?

10:06 am

sprite is coming to visit! our very own tiny babble meet!!!!

10:06 am

exactly 2 weeks from now I will have arrived at ruby's home.

10:06 am

oh fantastic. how cool is that

10:06 am

:D Very!

10:06 am

how lucky for both of you

10:07 am

it is a very long train ride for sprite! she's a trouper

10:07 am

don't invite KJE.. she'll make you wait at a coffee shop

10:07 am

LOL

10:07 am

don't mind the train ride. It will be very comfortable and relaxed. Only switching trains in paris, and that should be easy by metro

10:08 am

lolllll if kje would come, I'd gladly wait at every coffeeshop.

10:08 am

BTW, is it Gare de Nord?

10:08 am

let me check

10:09 am

I arrive at Nord and must go to Gare de Lyon

10:10 am

aaah

10:10 am

and when I go back I will arrive at gare de lyon and must go to gare du nord

10:10 am

so that is consistent :)

10:11 am

the train will go to Lyon and then go backwards to Annecy -- very weird but it goes along a river gorge and is quite pretty

10:11 am

how long a train ride is it?

10:12 am

I don't know about the first part, but Paris > Annecy is under 4 hrs

10:12 am

as long as it's TGV

10:13 am

I took the TGV to the Rhone. from Paris .. it was fast

10:14 am

they are lovely trains -- immaculate

10:14 am

in total it is 8 hours.

10:15 am

wow!

10:15 am

first part is Thalys, second part is TGV

10:15 am

*orders Sprite a good book*

10:28 am

so far, so good for the weather here

10:29 am

to be honest, the weather will not make or break my stay with ruby. Lovely weather will be great, but even if it rains all the time, we are gonna have a lot of fun.

10:29 am

and if it's cold, we'll build fires (unlikely); if it rains, we can still play scrab on the deck

10:30 am

guest room has the only working heating system in the house

10:30 am

I love fires, grin. Almost hoping for cold weather ;)

10:30 am

I didn't love them in May!

10:31 am

for nbt, pls, lonely n on the bottom....

11:11 am

congrats, glan :)

11:11 am

hooray gian

11:11 am

yay glan!

11:12 am

speaking of fireworks -- weren't the ones at Buckingham Palace last night spectacular?

11:12 am

definitely increased my vocabulary today

11:12 am

um, I didn;t see them - I don;t have a TV

11:12 am

hi

11:13 am

Hi Onpaki

11:13 am

Hello onpaki

11:13 am

the whole jubilee celebration was spectacular

11:13 am

50% woohoo

11:14 am

you can probably find them on your computer, glan -- just google diamond jubilee and you will come up with lots of stuff

11:14 am

I really appreciate the energy and effort and determination and dedication the queen has pout into ther role

11:14 am

but I don;t think the UK is in a strong enough financial position to have done the whole jubilee thing

11:15 am

yes - she has worked very hard all her life and at 86, still is. Can you imagine? -- over 400 engagements in the past year!

11:15 am

we've had 2 extra days holiday which must have hit small businesses very hard and the amount of money spent on the celebrations has been phenomenal

11:16 am

It was all financed by donations -- and the think of the tourist Pounds it has brought in

11:16 am

we've been hearing about it for months and months - alternating with the Olympics

11:16 am

you should try a new presidential election every 4 years glant.. talk about waste of money

11:16 am

I think the Queen is great, I really do, but hope the tourist income covered the cost because I think we could have spent the money in better ways

11:17 am

yes -- your elections probably cost 5x as much spent on the jubilee

11:17 am

trye ru - and I have noticed that the candidate with the biggest budget tends to won

11:17 am

i can't comment..last time I did Haz gobsmacked me

11:17 am

how?

11:18 am

your elections seem very complicated to me

11:18 am

according the the newscast, glan, the jubilee cost the public approximately 65p per taxpayer

11:19 am

All other costs were covered by donation.

11:19 am

I think that robably doesn't include what it cost small businesses to have two days where they paid their workers for doing nothing

11:19 am

or big businesses, come to that

11:19 am

Have to run -- off to Vancouver tomorrow to celebrate granddaughter's 2nd birthday and to visit with the twins, who are growing like weeds.

11:20 am

enjoy, Nan

11:20 am

11:44 am

congrats kazz

11:46 am

Ooo lookie, Dee is here during the day again. : )

hi molly! You were so sweet last time, I HAD to come back :)

11:47 am

Did you have another early morning?

Yes. Haven't been sleeping well; sciatic nerve pain. Took 2 aleve last night and slept from midnight until 7 AM, so started my day early.

11:49 am

Ugh, sorry to hear that. I have had the sciatic nerve thing and it's a whole new frontier of pain.

It sure is.. worse than regular RA pain.

can anyone clue the in 8, please? No seeing it.

11:51 am

no end

11:51 am

never ending, dee

tyvm!!!! Duh.

11:51 am

An in8 number of possibilites.

11:52 am

Sorry for the extra S

no problem ty... love your pictures, Molly and kje

12:09 pm

same here vollymom dee my sciatica was drivng me mental that pulling feeling running all the way up the leg.i also too alieve and i find that sleeping with a body pillow tween the legs helps a lot

I agree crossy; I have more pillows that the store has in our bed..... I also use rice pillows on pressure spots; do stretches.... doing everything I can to delay a surgery.... go to chiropractor... it's the "chew nails" kind of pain ... so sorry you have it, too :(

12:11 pm

true in deed vollymom.my doc said to avoid surgery at all costs and to not come in till i was crawling on all fours

12:12 pm

cause once they start poking around the spinal column you may as well flip a coin

ditto that... have a friend who had epidural shots a few weeks ago... helped him a lot

so very true

12:13 pm

i had a friend with the same cause as mine,herniated neck disks.he went in for surgery..and came out needing 2 canes for the rest of his life:(

have been wondering if a hot tub would help

12:15 pm

so i put up with tingling and pulling sensation in arms and legs do the exercises,take advil or alieve and wait

aleve is about the only thing that will work for me... do you think the exercises help?

12:16 pm

i do them all,and all i think it does is help keep me limber to some extent as i am a tall large hefty fella

I'll have to be more faithful about doing them. :)

12:17 pm

want a good one volly mom? lay on yer bed flat on your back with everything below your tushie hanging off the bed and let your feet rest on the ground.you can feel it stretch all the way up

I'll try that! Thanks!

odd word in 7/36 not sure I have ever seen that before

12:28 pm

I can vouch for the exercises. They help build up the muscle which supports the nerves.

12:29 pm

Yep exercise works for me too. and losing weight

Thanks for the encouragement; I really needed it today!

Losing weight probably won't happen for me... prednisone pretty much kills that idea, but stretching exercises should be on my daily to-do list :)

fireworks! Thanks so much for the company! Chores await!

Hugs to all! Have a great day!!

12:32 pm

Same to you

*poof*

12:47 pm

Hi Im back hopefully to finish

1:15 pm

sue, I thought you were retired

1:15 pm

thank you, sue and Annie

1:15 pm

Annie, that just means your dentist used plenty of Novocaine. Good for him. Hope it wears off soon so you can eat.

1:16 pm

not until the end of June, Annie, and I have a contract from a book publisher that goes through the middle of September (writing exam problems to go with a physics text)

1:16 pm

Thanks, Molly...I have a ni4 dinner that I bought. I am sure I will not be numb any longer

1:17 pm

I also have a new graduate student that I will be working with for the next couple of years (assuming he is successful)

1:17 pm

good for you, sue

1:17 pm

as far as I can tell, retirement means I don't have to serve on committees any more

1:18 pm

Wow, that is a lot of work for retirement.

1:19 pm

well, the publisher is paying me, so that is good.

1:19 pm

lol........when i quit to become a full time mom, i was busier than when i worked..........now that i have no kids at home, i'm even busier

1:20 pm

Full time Moms work harder than anyone I know.

1:21 pm

Yes, I also find in retirement that I am busy all the time...and I love the leisure when I want it

1:21 pm

Totally agree with Molly

1:21 pm

Ooo, Annie is in the grid today. Cheesecake in the PB.

Good Afternoon Everybody. How are you all on this beautiful day?

1:48 pm

1:51 pm

wonderful!! LOL

1:51 pm

eddie izzard as grandpa munster

1:52 pm

OMG LOVE Eddie Izzard!!

1:52 pm

In the reboot, Grandpa is described as a powerful vampire with the quick wit that Lewis initially injected into the character. He's the head of the mysterious family who continues to have Herman under his thumb.

1:53 pm

hi nef and une!

1:55 pm

1:55 pm

thanks Cos!

1:55 pm

oohhh, 1313 is being partially created by Pushing Daisies guy -- was a big fan of Pushing Daisies!

1:56 pm

it's okay, cos. I promise not to hurt you for giving a clue! ;-)

1:56 pm

lol ok :P

1:56 pm

Both pe6/24s sound alike, different spellings

1:56 pm

woo hoo got both pe6

1:57 pm

thanks molly, never heard of the alternate spelling (to the jelly one)

1:57 pm

me either, sue

1:57 pm

I haven't either Sue, but you know, in Babble, almost anything goes.

1:57 pm

thanks Molly; I'm with sue on never hearing of a 2nd spelling

1:58 pm

but there's no alternate spelling to picnic :/

1:58 pm

piquenique

1:59 pm

LOL, unea! Must be the French way

2:00 pm

indeed! LOL

2:00 pm

although here in nashvegas there's a tearoom called "Le Picnic" :-)

2:02 pm

i hate P words

2:04 pm

pi7 please?

2:04 pm

ah, apparently it's a zoological term having nothing to do with jelly

2:04 pm

Thank you Sue. I, for one, don't mind if someone posts the actual meaning for a word. I got slammed for that the other day.

2:05 pm

what? can't imagine why, molly

fi5/18?

2:07 pm

a lot of people do that molly. jacula does for sure. i dont see an issue with it

2:08 pm

ah found the pi7..a fish thankds

2:09 pm

fi + the beginning of the Reds baseball home.

2:09 pm

wait, I thought giving the definition was THE correct way to clue. Have things changed?

2:10 pm

hego, not that I'm aware of!! LOL

2:11 pm

all of the old Babblers like Haz and FM, jac, etc use defs.

2:11 pm

sometimes I wish I had an ignore feature on here because some of the people idk about lol

2:11 pm

There is no consensus on the proper way of giving clues ... only debates and preferences

2:11 pm

btw Hi All

2:11 pm

To clarify, someone gave the definition as one thing and I posted "actually it means..." and got a lot of mean spirited comments as a result. Like "if you don't like the clues, don't play". WTF?

2:11 pm

hi hego!

2:11 pm

wtf??

2:12 pm

oohhh, I've corrected stuff before too -- not very well accepted . . . oh well

2:12 pm

oh and u have to be sure to thank each and every person who gave u a clue too apparently

2:12 pm

I tell the critiques to put me on ignore

2:12 pm

cos, so true LOL!!

2:12 pm

hey, BR -- good to see you :-)

2:13 pm

They tell me I already am

2:13 pm

2:13 pm

Hello, Une .... onward Nadal

2:13 pm

kinda like what u get for the x box, surgrr

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

2:14 pm

:3

2:15 pm

Hmmm.... x box

2:15 pm

yes, Rafa's doing great in paris!!

2:15 pm

2:15 pm

re6/30 please?

2:15 pm

ooh i love paris

cos, I know the word you are referring to, but I just can't get this - LOL

2:15 pm

2:17 pm

both ke 5/22 similar spelling except 3rd letter

2:18 pm

Hey, everyone has there own way of playing this game. Nothing is set in stone.

2:18 pm

un + ca4 is pretty weird too!

2:18 pm

that's what I thought

2:18 pm

I agree Une. I assume it's referring to removing something ca4ed on.

2:19 pm

I always thought the only rule was to not type in words in the chog unless by accident or if its a very normal everyday word

2:19 pm

hello from back in Minneapolis again!

2:19 pm

yep, that's all I could figure :-)

2:19 pm

2:35 pm

Just joking Hego : )

2:35 pm

(psst.. I know)

2:35 pm

lol molly

2:36 pm

What's inside a peach always makes me think of that ghastly 90210 show.

2:38 pm

yes i was gonna clue that but decided not to

2:39 pm

question: Why does the Queen always carry a handbag?

2:40 pm

no one knows

2:40 pm

I heard today, it's not money, she never carries monry.

2:40 pm

seems odd, maybe it gives her something to do with her hands

2:40 pm

because handbags can't walk

2:40 pm

or to give her something to do with her hands

2:41 pm

snap, hego:)

2:41 pm

I like BR's theory. lol

2:41 pm

I'll go with BR's theory too

2:41 pm

maybe she's packing a pistol! hahaha!

2:41 pm

Peri they really discussed that on the Today show.

2:42 pm

or maybe it turns into a weapon!

2:42 pm

It's a bespoke bag made for her.

2:42 pm

Um... I think Scram is a little sinister.

2:43 pm

lol

2:43 pm

her majesties' secret weapon., provided for by MOD.

2:44 pm

it's called the diva.

2:44 pm

the bag, that is, not the weapon.

2:45 pm

that I did hear hego

2:46 pm

4 left, bbl

2:46 pm

glasses, could be eyeglasses

2:46 pm

some kleenex, maybe

2:46 pm

now I'm intrigued.

2:47 pm

she wouldn't need a comb, that hair ain't going anywhere.

2:47 pm

lol I cracked myself up....

2:48 pm

glasses with laser beams directed by her eyes!

2:48 pm

uh oh

2:49 pm

sorry it's just the transit of venus affecting me! hahah!

2:50 pm

anyone have thorazine on them?

2:51 pm

oh dear. I wander away a bit and you guys get weird! Haldol works better than thorazine, hego

2:51 pm

hegos trying to knock me out!

2:51 pm

(lots faster, IMHO)

2:52 pm

after I wrote it I thought of Haldol, Nef

2:53 pm

taking a break. bbl

2:53 pm

:-) Thorazine always seemed to take too long when someone was sick and violent

2:55 pm

Damn, look out. Nurse Ratchets are in the house.

2:56 pm

*hides*

2:57 pm

hahah molly ! nurse diesel! loved that movie!

2:57 pm

no, you're safe. We are retired nurses now; we're almost harmless (we're probably dangerous only if we start talking "shop" at mealtimes

2:58 pm

have to go fix dinner! babylon babblers!

2:58 pm

If I were on the psych ward, I would want Whoopie from Girl Interrupted as my nurse.

2:59 pm

since I don't watch movies, I don't know any of the nurse characters in them. (probably a good thing, too.)

3:00 pm

final wr6 anyone?

3:00 pm

Why don't you watch movies, Nef?

3:01 pm

wr6...what you do when you are vomiting

3:01 pm

you could know Nurse Rachet from the book

3:01 pm

ty Molly

3:02 pm

It's actually defined as a miserable person. See? I correct my own definitions : P

3:02 pm

Oh, I do know her from the book, viajes, but movies often change characters and don't follow the story lines.

3:03 pm

it's a homonym to the re5 :)

3:03 pm

Molly, I get nightmares easily; so even stupid childrens movies with a bit of suspence cause them. I stay away from movies; no nightmares

3:04 pm

Ah, vivid imagination.

3:04 pm

*Reminds self not to sneak up on Nef*

3:05 pm

TOO vivid. But there are worse things inlife; glad I found a way to fix this one

3:05 pm

Ahem...what happened to Via's Not In The Grid Made Up Word Of The Day?

3:06 pm

Yeah. I don't do well with that either. :-( My kids used to get a kick out of startling me

3:06 pm

Nef, you are what is called an emotional empath.

3:07 pm

??? ( off to look that up)

3:10 pm

Actually Molly, I have Narcolepsy (if you really want to know) Cataplexsy, Hypnogogic Hallucinations and sleep Paralysis are all part of the deal. I don't need nightmares!

3:11 pm

No, indeed you don't.

3:12 pm

I don't think the emotional empath fits at all. I am a caretaker, be that good or bad. But have never had depression, panic attacks, food, sex, or drug binges, etc. I don't think I could have worked in ICU for 34+ years of my nursing career if I was an emotional empath

3:13 pm

I stand corrected. I only said that because emotional empaths often can't watch movies because they become too involved in them, and then have dreams or nightmares about them.

3:14 pm

ah, okay. You're forgiven. ;-)

3:16 pm

BTW, anyone else going to watch the transect of Venus?

3:17 pm

OOPS! Transit!

3:18 pm

I read an article about it that said it sounds like the title of a romance novel. Take care, you need a special viewer for that.

3:19 pm

1882 was the last visible one.

3:19 pm

Next on up? 2117.

3:20 pm

LOL! During the eclipse of the sun we discovered that our neighbor has not 1 but 2 welding masks! It was pretty cool watching that (til the sun set) and he's home so I'm going to wander over after a bit and borrow them again! :-D

3:20 pm

<---Wants pictures of Nef in a welding mask.

3:22 pm

yeah, right! Here's the live NASA site if anyone is interested: http://sunearthday.nasa.gov/webcasts/n asaedge/

3:24 pm

Venus transits occur in pairs that are eight years apart, but these dual events take place less than once per century. The last one happened in 2004, and the next won't come until 2117.

how-dee y'alls

3:27 pm

yep, I read that earlier, lawyer. I don't remember anything about the one in 2004 though. Anyone else remember it?

3:27 pm

Hi Gwen

3:28 pm

I'm lucky if I can remember what happened yesterday!

3:28 pm

(I'm usually very interested in all things space, as is my son. But I don't know how I missed that one.)

3:29 pm

LOL! Same here! I've gotta share a cute kid story about space though.

3:31 pm

My grandson is now 3. He watched Carl Sagan's "the Cosmos" with his dad; and now every time he comes over he has to dig out my science books and magazines and have me read "The Cosmos" to him! Doesn't matter what space exploration the book or magazine is about; it's ALWAYS "the Cosmos!"

3:31 pm

Let's hear Nef

3:33 pm

Why do we let kids grow up?

3:35 pm

So when I was coming back from my vacation I picked up a science (space) magazine with a picture in it of Yoda about aliens; and he's trying to get his dad to watch the Cosmos again because he missed Yoda in it the first time! :-D

3:35 pm

LOL Nef

3:36 pm

I am going to sneak away now.

3:36 pm

But badly, because I'm telling you, so it's not very sneaky.

3:37 pm

kitten training..shudder..shake..shudder..eye twitch..crossy needs some hard core drugs please...twitch...

3:37 pm

(sorry, phone call) I was trying to find the magazine but couldn't

3:38 pm

why are you sneaking away, viaj?

3:38 pm

why, crossy?

3:38 pm

Yesterday one of my fluffsters pooped a blue one. I am trying to figure out what he ate that was bright blue

3:38 pm

lol@ popped a blue one

3:39 pm

blueberries?

3:39 pm

gotta do some productive things and stuff

3:40 pm

well nef,so far today he has knocked down a plant stand with 15 plants on it,ripped the wiring out of three computers,tipped over 3 water dishes,spread his cat food and littler into the living room,attacked the other 2 cats,got into the cupboard under the sink and broke a mirror,,,and he has not even had a nap yet

3:40 pm

I think it must have been a newspaper plastic bag which is thr right color.

3:41 pm

can you kennel him for bad behavior, crossy? (And could the other 2 cats be "helping" him with this chaos?

3:41 pm

Oh, dear bichon!

3:42 pm

how would a kitten understand being kenneled for bad behavior.

3:42 pm

are the plastic bags biodegradable?

3:42 pm

you kidding?/ the other 2 cats hide in the bedroom and will not come out except to eat and poop.if i kennel him he cries and wails

3:42 pm

He usually finds day-glo ear plugs and poops orange

3:42 pm

I am afraid to even think about it

3:43 pm

as bichon says,he is too young to understand yet

3:43 pm

oh, my crossy. you have your hands full then. The other 2 cats avoid him?

3:44 pm

well,the 3 year old will play with him in the morning but runs out of steam after 2 hours.the 6 year old female avoids him like the plague

3:44 pm

These two weren't puppies when we got them, but previous puppies were crated for portions of the day to keep them out of mischief. And at other times, leashed to my belt.

3:44 pm

at least a kitten will use a litter box.

3:45 pm

now bichin,i like that leash to the belt idea...

3:46 pm

we have a cat harness and are setting that up as we speak

3:46 pm

A pupper won't learn to be housebroken if it is give free run of the house. Now you don't have to worry about that with a kitten, but it's the general idea

3:46 pm

my friend has her 9 month old King Charles whatever leashed to her belt at all times. Darn dog just won't potty train

oh boy potty training chat! lol

3:48 pm

when we've had kittens, we played very hard with them and then would kennel them for an hour or two so they could rest. How old is your kitten, crossy?

3:48 pm

Small dogs can be difficult, but leashing to a belt will not allow the puppy to squat. That and taking to dog for regular walks, especially after a meal will help. and, male Bichons are very difficult to housebreak.

3:48 pm

harness going on devil cat now....

3:49 pm

cat is attacking leash...

3:50 pm

cat just ran by at full steam with the leash trailing behind him..mrs is mia

3:50 pm

best go see

3:51 pm

we used to put our 2 kittens in the bath tub and put a pingpong ball in there and they would play "hockey" for a good 15-20 minutes. It was hilarious and they got so tired!

3:51 pm

was the bath tub full or empty <ggg>

3:53 pm

gave devil kitten tennis ball yesterday..he punctured it:(

3:53 pm

Bichon, this is her 2nd dog. The first one was very easy to train; she takes each dog for separate walks, and the indoor leash is about 10 feet long (the outdoor leash is a standard one)

3:53 pm

bath tub was empty, bichon.

3:53 pm

kitten is 12 weeks btw

3:53 pm

Crossy, how did a kitten puncture a tennis ball?

3:54 pm

with his teeth

3:54 pm

way too long. It has to be short enough so the dog can't squat [get into position to pee]. Is it male or female?

3:54 pm

he is a big kitty with a wide head already..looks like a young jaguar..

3:55 pm

sure you didnt get a bobcat somehow?

3:55 pm

female. She taking her for puppy training too. Puppy has never wet in her kennel; my friend has taken her to the vet numerous times, no UTA, does her business outside too

3:55 pm

ears are not tufted

3:56 pm

We rescued a Bichon puppy once [male] who spent most of his first 4 months in a crate. So he did the rare thing, he eliminated in the crate. He spent months leashed to me

3:56 pm

I was going to ask the same question, Uncover!

3:57 pm

Dogs won't usually eliminate in their crate. But you just can't allow them freedom in the house until they're reliable

3:58 pm

The two we have now [rescues, strays] were not housetrained at over a year [lifted their legs in the house]. Took a loooong time

3:58 pm

they have these exercise wheels for cats..getting one tomorrow..i best go spell the mrs with the kitty,brb

Morning? Is it Wednesday?

4:49 pm

lots of CH words - beginning and ending

4:49 pm

Hi Lynxxx

4:49 pm

sure is

I missed the beginning ones, got the others I think.

How is tomorrow going to be?

Is it worth waiting for?

If I don't go to bed, will it remain Tuesday longer?

4:50 pm

doesn't look too bad actually - for Winter

Is it next winter already?

4:51 pm

you going to be (even more) confused when the Sun comes up though

I am already confused. The physical therapist told me that the hip pain I have had is really back pain.

4:53 pm

ah yes - the good old referred pain

I am supposed to get out of bed in a whole different way. Which isn't easy since getting out of bed is usually not a wholly conscious act

And I have to get up differently from sitting down.

4:54 pm

You must have very bad pain - my sympathies

4:55 pm

(((Kap))) What happened?

4:55 pm

You don't like chiropractors?

Nothing happened- I thought it was arthritis, but appenently it's musculo-skeletal.

I am going to find a chiropractor.

And try not to get a chiropodist by mistake.

I think chiropractic is the way to go, at this point.

I don't know why I have waited this long.

In fact, let me go and do a search now. ttyl.

4:58 pm

I visit one once a month and find this prevents a lot of major issues. But even better for my back was going to gym 3 times a week - MUCH stronger and less prone to major outbreaks

5:26 pm

Hi, all, Venus transit has begun, and I've put up a new photo on my icon

5:31 pm

♪ When the moon, is in the 7th house ♫ And Venus transits the sun ♪ : )

There you go :-)

hi, lynxxx!

5:35 pm

Hi all -- overcast here so no Venus transit :-(

5:35 pm

Molly -- how do you get those notes and hearts?

5:35 pm

Thanks, sue, for your great photo!

5:42 pm

Thank you, Molly, but all I get is a ?

5:42 pm

hi Jilli

5:42 pm

and I have Windows 7 -- maybe it's my Canadian keyboard.

5:43 pm

hi lyn

5:43 pm

you're welcome, jilli and lynxxx!

5:48 pm

Jilli, your Number Lock has to be on. I should have mentioned that.

5:49 pm

Bye everyone

5:50 pm

And you have to use the numerical key pad, not the numbers on the regular keyboard

5:52 pm

My Num Lock WAS on.

5:53 pm

And I did use that keyboard. I'm used to doing accents and such.

5:54 pm

Let me try something...

5:55 pm

Nah -- nothing.

5:56 pm

Okay, I"m stumped then. Sorry.

5:58 pm

So am I!

5:58 pm

Would the fact that I'm using Babble Expert have anything to do with it?

5:59 pm

I have the Venus transit on my iPad at www.slooh.org

6:00 pm

well, actually at events.slooh.com

And you just know that somewhere Sting is singing: "There's a little black spot on the sun today."

6:00 pm

nice, jilli!

6:00 pm

Hi neil!

Hi jilli!

6:02 pm

I used slooh to watch the eclipse - it was great!

Hi Sue?

6:02 pm

hi, neil!

:)

i am having difficulty finding a live site for the transit; can someone post one please?

6:58 pm

hi uusue.. just checking in to see your profile pic.. ty for the great pic!

6:58 pm

... there was a nasa site posted about 530

6:58 pm

Jilli posted one at 5:59

6:59 pm

... that's the one

ty, i tired nasa. i am guessing the coverage is not continuous?

7:10 pm

events.slooh.com seems to have enough bandwidth to carry the demand, and they have feeds from telescopes all over the world that you can click through

we could not view the lunar eclipse aecue of the weather. ditto the transit.

7:11 pm

weather here is good but our observatory is small and crowded

you arelucky. i watched at nasa ut it is strange, the image is lue right now

7:13 pm

I updated my icon to the latest picture

7:13 pm

Venus is the little dot near the top of the Sun

jili, what view are yo using on slooh?

7:15 pm

Uni New Mexico looks good, TO

yes, just stumbled upon that one

7:18 pm

Oops...sorry

will not see it all; allergies will force me to take enadryl tonight

7:20 pm

and I plan to go to bed at a reasonable hour :-)

7:24 pm

Hi again. Sue, what is "a reasonable hour?"

7:25 pm

I'm enjoying the transit; watching on both sunearthday.nasa.gov and slooh

7:26 pm

(on DH's computer; mine won't get there)

would like a clue for the 8 please?

7:30 pm

uncountably large, TO

7:31 pm

and 10 pm is a reasonable hour for me to crash, nef, but I will probably get off the computer and read an hour or two before that

7:31 pm

** finito ** - last word TI 6/21 - compound word - worn by nmales

ty. the large en words are a problem as well

8:07 pm

clue for un6/36...please

8:08 pm

un + desert

8:09 pm

(and it's one of the stupidest words here!)

8:09 pm

or is it dessert? "you can't have your **** and eat it too"

8:09 pm

Unsahara? Ungobi?

8:09 pm

is that really aword? I have never heard of it. how do u use it in a normal sentence?(LOL)

8:09 pm

oh hi nef. I was just thinking about you; how are you and your poor darling husband?

8:10 pm

2 s's, right Tor?

8:10 pm

tyvm Nef!

8:10 pm

;^)

8:11 pm

my friend Reg, once wrote me that he fell on his face in the dessert. I've kindly never let him forget it.

8:12 pm

hi mab. He's not doing so well; his back pain is causing bilateral sciatica; the injections didn't work; so he sees the neurosurgeon again on Friday

the only dessert i see has three letters :/

8:12 pm

poor man!

8:12 pm

:-) LOL!

8:12 pm

is that what happen to old face makeup Un6/36?

8:12 pm

I'm so sorry for both of you.

8:13 pm

I gave a 2nds hint at 8:09, TO

8:13 pm

Ooo, ooo, I want to fall on my face in the dessert. : )

ah, got it . and i now want pastry

:(

8:13 pm

Nef, do you ever feel like shaking your fist at the heavens and screaming ENOUGH!!

8:13 pm

i got such a funny image of Reg collapsing at table into his peach cobbler.

8:15 pm

I was once given too much morphine while in the hospital and fell asleep in my soup! Luckily, my friend was there! Couldn't you see the headlines on that? :-D (I do not do well with drugs!)

8:15 pm

can the doctor not get his pain under control with some stronger drugs? I know it's not so good to do this for several reasons, but he can't just be left to suffer.

8:16 pm

it would be embarrassing to drown in one's soup.

8:16 pm

I am just missing one of the un 6/33 I have un(man's name) + un + yarning missing?

8:18 pm

i've had unbearable pain numerous times in my life due to a chronic thing, but almost always it's been gotten under control, even if that means hospital.

8:18 pm

right now I'm keeping him from doing stupid stuff; and a good deal of the pain is under control; but his biggest problem is he wants to DO stuff! (which then causes pain

8:19 pm

ruru, I don't have the man's name; but un +Pac**** Ocean

8:19 pm

thank you.. that was it

8:19 pm

bingo.

8:19 pm

:-)

8:20 pm

oh yes. one feels better and then euphoric and wanting to dance in the streets.

8:21 pm

the problem is he wants to do stuff but he loses his balance; then stumbles and that's when the pain starts up again

8:22 pm

oh... that's sad.

8:22 pm

thanks ruru; I got that name now!

YAY Jill!

8:55 pm

I am not done, mab....

8:55 pm

YAY, jilli!!! WTG!!!

8:55 pm

i corrected myself

8:56 pm

Mab, dogs bark in the moonlit rain.

8:56 pm

but hurray for you, stid, just on general principle

8:56 pm

Jill -- I always forget there were moving pictures when you were a kid -- was there really a movie of Queen Victoria's jubilee? I know you weren't alive for that...

8:56 pm

I'm still watching both the TV news and the Venus transit on my new iPad -- what fun!

8:57 pm

LOL mab! *curtseys*

8:57 pm

gotcha molls. I get right on that. o boy, a mission.

8:57 pm

is sue still around? I don't quite understand why the NASA live link of the transit is in different colors. (The sun has gone from purple to red to gold from the HI live observatory link)

8:58 pm

I so enjoyed watching the water procession on Sunday, Jill -- I thought it was a lovely thing despite the rain. And I completely approve of the outfits she has chosen for these days. So pretty.

8:59 pm

stid -- there was a movie in 1937 called "Sixty Glorious Years" about Queen Victoria, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of her coronation. I saw it at the Grand Theatre in Shanghai when I was 10. I also saw the first Disney Snowhite at that theatre that year.

9:00 pm

I phrased that one question strangely -- Jill, I didn't know that movies were available in Shanghai, not that you didn't have the technology. *bangs head on keyboard*

9:00 pm

Oh, I bet seeing Snow White in the theater must have been wonderful -- I don't think I ever saw it on the big screen, but it has always been one of my favorite movies.

9:01 pm

I watched everything I could about this Jubilee, and found there was more coverage on US channels than on Canadian ones. Interesting!

9:02 pm

Stid, everything was up to date in Shanghai City!

9:02 pm

I didn't have opportunity to watch everything, but have been checking BBC's website frequently.

9:02 pm

<---Didn't think Jilli was that ancient

9:02 pm

BTW, loved that bday pic you posted on fb today Jill -- you are, I do believe, aging backward!

9:03 pm

i enjoy the bbc website so much

9:03 pm

Molly, the Queen and I were kids at the same time so I've felt in touch with her all my life. She is a not quite a year older than I am.

9:03 pm

yes, you look lovely, jilli.

9:04 pm

i'm taken with the queen having been so young when she ascended to the throne.

9:04 pm

<-- bats (scarce) eyelashes and says Thank You!

9:05 pm

*wonders what Jill would look like in the lovely light blue number her majesty wore to church today*

9:06 pm

Slimmer, I hope! And taller.

9:07 pm

BTW, did you see that amazing yellow gown she wore under the severe black coat last night!

9:07 pm

Elizabeth wasn't as young as Victoria when she got stuck with the job.

9:07 pm

with all due respect to the queen, she's no beauty.

9:07 pm

No, stid! She does wear wonderful colours.

9:08 pm

I think she's beautiful -- she looks like my grandmother! REALLY looks like her, only younger.

9:08 pm

She was, mab.

9:08 pm

I am hoping I will have a face like hers when I am that age.

9:08 pm

she was when very young. did not age well, i think.

9:08 pm

I now have the Jubilee concert on CBC

9:09 pm

she has a long horsy face!

9:09 pm

hello all. Great to see you Jilli!

9:09 pm

hey Bugs!

9:09 pm

Hi Bugs -- welcome back!

9:09 pm

she looks like all my uncles.

9:10 pm

Hey stid and everyone here

9:10 pm

The Queen does NOT have a long horsy face! You're thinking of poor old Camilla.

9:10 pm

not that i have any less respect for her. hi bug.

9:10 pm

or Princess Anne. She sure lost out on looks

9:11 pm

anyway, jilli, you are beautiful. Elizabeth will be fortunate if she begins to look more like her late mum

9:11 pm

I think the princess looks like her father more than her mother.

9:12 pm

yes Jilli. I saw your pic on Facebook with your family and you certainly do look younger all the time

9:12 pm

well, camillla too.

9:12 pm

Thanks, mab, for the eye of the beholder. Mine eye saith otherwise!

9:12 pm

radiant

9:12 pm

but I didn't see her, I think, at any of the festivities this weekend.

9:13 pm

Camilla was hiding under a huge hat.

9:13 pm

wise

9:14 pm

Meow. I think she's really a very nice fun person.

9:14 pm

camilla was - she always seems to wear such large hats!

9:15 pm

What someone said about the Queen is so true -- she is a constant in such a changing world.

9:15 pm

okay, I have to head out. down to 36, which isn't too bad.

9:15 pm

I should be getting supper!

9:15 pm

*poof*

9:15 pm

too bad I missed you then. Keep in touch

9:16 pm
