4:00 am

I have a quick 51

4:01 am

4:01 am

I only been here a short time

4:02 am

but, unfortunately I rarely get beyond half

4:02 am

same here---I got 94 to go right now

4:03 am

95 lol

4:05 am

but for e, the first half is the most fun

4:07 am

thats true--plus I enjoy coming to enjoy the chat--(this morn dont seem to be too many on)

4:08 am

just us pups!

4:08 am

guess so!

4:11 am

My day is going to be spent mowing as soon as its dry enough to do so

4:11 am

I planted a lot of stuff last week and then we had a horrible storm on the weekend and I don't know what survived

4:12 am

the locals say wait 'til 1 May, but I was too smart for that lol

4:12 am

ahh! I hope your work wasent for nothing

4:13 am

I put 12 little geraniums into the ground as well as 12 verbena and some other, taller purple plant

4:13 am

If they don't die, and it even gets warm again, I'll know what happened

4:13 am

Mother nature can be quiet a nightmare sometimes

4:13 am

ever*

4:14 am

we get very strange windstorms through this valley. They sound like freight trains and are horrid

4:15 am

here its warm a day or two then it drop very low. One day we are wearing shorts the next day winter coats--lol

4:17 am

here, too

4:17 am

I am very tired of this long winter

4:18 am

I think alot of us has got the spring fever! I got some flowers pushing through and I hope this cold spell dont zap the poor things

4:19 am

do you know allium? I have many in one spot but last year Ruffino cut them all down as well as the iris

4:20 am

I had one out of about 25-30 and no iris

4:20 am

I got lilac trees just starting to bud and Im afraid for them--I just love their smell----------no, no allium but I do have alot of iris

4:21 am

my husband gave me a tiny lila a couple of years ago. It is about my height now (5 ft) and has some buds, but it is very slow-growing

4:22 am

but the cherry tree has flowers and everything else looks OK

4:22 am

one of the plums is mostly dead, though, but it was dying last year and didn't get any fruit

4:23 am

I got a chinese flowering cherry tree and its just covered with white flowers

4:23 am

does it get fruit or is it decortive?

4:23 am

decorAtive*

4:23 am

no its not a fruit tree

4:24 am

we have a false peach like that; it gets covered with big pink frlowers and then, nothing happens

4:25 am

I really love the outdoors--not too good when it comes to houseplants--wish I was

4:26 am

when it comes to houseplants I would kill a plastic plant-lol

4:26 am

I just love anything growing, but this is my first garden and I have a lot to learn

4:26 am

6:45 am

6:48 am

morning, everyone!

6:50 am

hi Dawg

6:50 am

evening, Lynxxx

6:51 am

Hi all :)

6:51 am

hi Liz

6:51 am

hi Liz

6:54 am

hello everyone

6:54 am

Hi Annie :)

6:54 am

hiya Annie

6:54 am

hi AnnieB - lovely to see you

6:55 am

There is a pear called a comice pear. Enable wont take it.

6:56 am

it won't take roma either - as in tomatoes

6:56 am

lynxxx, I am still trying to get up enough nerve to ask Mom to use her paypal account on my behalf. I have another solution...if you have Lickety's address would you send it to me at astern@aol.com

6:56 am

fussy

6:56 am

I like comice pears! I guess it's a proper noun! Though sometimes that makes no difference!

6:56 am

hi Liz and dawg

6:57 am

Sorry Annie - don't know his address - in fact don't even know his real surname

6:57 am

Thanks, lynxxx...will look into paypal

6:58 am

I am sure Mom would love to do it for you - she is such a sweetheart

6:58 am

lickety's address is on the clues page, annie

6:58 am

I know she is

6:58 am

dawg, I need his actual address

6:59 am

oh, sorry. although you might be able to ask for it thru his email addy

7:00 am

lynxxx, Mom send money in my behalf when we were collecting monies for Jellen

7:01 am

dawg, I want to send him a check for the trouble he goes to for putting up the clues everyday (the same as we sent DrG)

7:01 am

that brings back memories - I am glad she is finding happiness again

7:02 am

i know his first name is mark.. mb we can find him on fb thru mrp.

7:02 am

Does Jellen have a new man in her life? That would be so nice for her.

7:02 am

The problem with sending him a check is that it would probably cost him $15 to get it processed Annie

7:03 am

Oh dear

7:03 am

I am not sure of their relationship Ivesy - and I feel they both like to guard their privacy so I wouldn't be pressing the point

7:03 am

Let no good deed go unpunished (LOL)

7:04 am

I dont think asking mrp is a good idea. I believe they are separated.

7:07 am

ok.. just a thought. wasnt meaning to ask mrp. i have her on fb. would never invade her privacy.but he is on fb. doesnt give any info really though

7:07 am

thanks, tho, ives

7:08 am

mb u could send him private message on fb . annie, if u want

7:09 am

I am not on FB..either I get onto paypal or ask dear Mom to do if for me. Just have to get up the nerve

7:09 am

ok, understand

7:10 am

I still want comice

7:10 am

8:05 am

it's probably still stuck to the side of the building

8:05 am

at one time switching was the thing to do

8:05 am

In our Home Ec, we made chocolate pudding from scratch, it was Delicious!

and it is so easy!

8:06 am

my wonderful vet who is in her early 50's was forced to switch as a child and still feels pangs about it, thinks it squelched her creativity

8:06 am

I've heard stories of that ruby...luck my mom intervened so I wasn't forced to change

8:07 am

she loves to Watch mer write

8:07 am

8:09 am

Hi, all! Hey, I'm not only incredibly right-handed, I'm also very much right-footed...always lead with the right.

8:10 am

Worzel...did you hear they're finally doing the sequel of Nemo----Ellen Degeneres is happy.

8:15 am

okay, gonna work on the grid a bit

8:16 am

i've never seen finding nemo and i'm sure that was a joke about ellen degeneres. Go on then, who's gonna explain it to me?

8:16 am

No joke...she was the voice of one of the characters in that first one and has always hinted on her show that they should do a sequel....and now they are.

8:18 am

Be back later, thanks for the info, Mimi

8:18 am

oh fair enough - i had ALL sorts of things going on in my head - which is exactly where they're gonna stay, for the sake of decency!!!

Bye Annie!

8:19 am

I get 'ya, worzel....I try not to spend a lot of time in my own head....gets pretty gnarly in there!

8:22 am

By jove Mimi you should try and spend time in MY head - then again, maybe not . . .

8:22 am

I always say my head is a good place to visit but I wouldn't want to live there!

8:23 am

My head's like North Korea - everyone's curious, but no-one's got the nerve to visit!

8:23 am

LOL.

8:27 am

back for a minute. Just called the vet my beautiful Ruffino has just opened a huge hot spot on his flank, just like last year, only this tie we have tons of company coming! Oy veh, whatever that means

8:28 am

hello babblers. I think it means 'woe me', ruby

8:28 am

Think stress causes him to do that, ruby?

8:28 am

{{sprite}}

8:29 am

I was kidding, sprite. How are you?

8:29 am

It seems seasonal, since it was last spring, too

8:29 am

Maybe an allergy?

8:29 am

maybe he has "rose fever"

8:30 am

*hugs Mimi and ruby* Yeah, am good. Dusted, laundry, dishes, sink, stove. Am happy with myself.

8:30 am

it's too bad because he was looking magnificent and my son is coming and has never met Rufie

8:30 am

My allergies are making me nuts right now. Can't breathe well and sneezing like crazy even though taking antihistamines. I miss snow......

8:31 am

I tried cornstartch (recommended in chow books0 but it just makes a mess and he licks it right off

8:31 am

Wow, sprite...don't wear yourself totally out! Was just about to leave Babble and reply to your em....

8:31 am

ohhh ,snakes...

9:57 am

*shiver*

9:57 am

9:57 am

i even dislike the word, hence i call them BC's

9:57 am

we have snakes here,do not need to go to florida to look at them

9:57 am

<--likes snakes but not poisonous ones

9:57 am

y?

9:57 am

we have snakes here too but not poisonous ones....need those garden snakes to eat the bugs and moles

9:58 am

9:58 am

he was so cute, Brown with white underneath

9:58 am

oh no for the hot spot....my shephard from many years ago used to get those. My labs never have.

9:59 am

poor mr jingles:(

9:59 am

what got Mr Jingles

9:59 am

what did you do for them river. The chow book says cornstarch and the vet treated themm by shaving and giving antibiotics and steroids (bad bad). The cornstarch just makes a mess

10:00 am

I think he had nothing to eat and did't have the sense to go outside

10:00 am

I cant remember, its been so long...I am sure we must have gotten some salve from the vet

10:00 am

didn't have the sense to go find something to eat!!

10:01 am

I felt so smart, taold the vet about cornstartch and then it doesn't work

10:01 am

do you use the cornstarch to make a paste?

10:01 am

I think we have lot of mice outside because of my husband's liberal distribution of sunflower seeds

10:01 am

wiht my mrs it is spiders she hates.as a child she was sleeping one night and had one fall on her face from the ceiling

10:02 am

yi4 kje

10:02 am

greetings

10:02 am

it made an instant paste with Rufie's saliva, but he just licked it off

10:02 am

clue for mo 8

10:02 am

hello jane

10:02 am

I should get back to work - I still cant believe the whole Jessie thing was a ruse....so sad....have a great day everyone

10:02 am

I also like spiders, especially since there are no poisonous ones here

10:03 am

you sould of put a cone on him,then he could ot reach the cornstarced hot spot

10:03 am

{{river}}

10:03 am

that's what the vet wants to do, but I couldn't bear the thought

10:04 am

He is such a beautiful dog

10:04 am

Hugs to all

10:04 am

since Ruby died, he has grown into a magnificent adult male

10:04 am

and loves Baby Sister

10:05 am

cone will not hurt him,he will just look like a old time victrola for a week or so

10:05 am

"his master\s voice"

10:06 am

and when he eats wearing one of those,the other dog cannot steal his food:)

10:07 am

phantom: ca**teria

10:07 am

hello all - ruby we used to use a mixture of mercurochrome and merthiolate for hot spots on dogs - not sure if it is still available

10:07 am

you should shave the spot and get him on pred and use gold bond powder on it and put a cone on him ruby

10:07 am

are there any py words?

10:07 am

was it OK if they licked it?

10:07 am

that is another good one ru

10:07 am

Ruby - My mother's cure for hotspots was a salve made of sublimated sulphur (drugstore) and vaseline.

10:07 am

Tastes awful

10:07 am

must have been ruby - none of them were ill from it

10:08 am

if he keeps licking it .. it will become infected

10:08 am

cone time

10:08 am

I will look for gold bond powder but Wonder what the FR equivalent is

10:08 am

acete

10:08 am

thank yu, all, for your dog advice

10:09 am

oops sorry

10:09 am

there were ladies on babble ages ago who referred to a a cone as "the cone of shame" dogs always look so miserable when they are wearing a cone

10:09 am

in the end of course always consult with your vet

10:09 am

I agree with that, hurshy

10:10 am

we also call it th cone of shame.we use it on our alpha kitty when he becomes too rough with the others.slows him right down

10:10 am

she'll make a house call either tonight or tomorrow. She loves my dogs

10:10 am

stilll need clue for mo 8

11:03 am

If you give away half of the word, do you go halfway to the PB? Put one foot in? Questions, questions.

11:04 am

top half, so you can eat the goodies. Unless you've given away the bottom half of the word.

11:04 am

half the clues almost spell it out for the tough ones anyways,molly so it does not matter much

11:05 am

what if you clue the middle of the word/ hmmm?

11:05 am

@leaving--just gave a writing tutorial now have to unplug a toilet. So ave atque vale. (Dealing with bottom half of the penalty box I guess.)

11:05 am

:) @ roundbarn

11:06 am

my son once flushed a pair of underwear down the toilet when he was young.what a disaster!

11:07 am

I'll leave on how badly we need an r.

11:08 am

but i learned just enough about it so as not to have to hire someone at 55 dollars an hour to do it for me

11:09 am

i wonder why ae6 is a word but the corresponding eo5 isn't

11:10 am

ok we have an r--how about an h, what birds do, to go with the r? I'm still off to unwanted work.

11:11 am

ty for ae 6,hursh

11:21 am

Hi Gang

11:21 am

hi hego :))

11:22 am

hi kate

11:22 am

just getting started?

11:22 am

yup

11:23 am

did you have a good weekend? we finally got a bit of sun, now just waiting for a little more warmth ;)

11:24 am

it was quiet. didn't do much, but nice weather.

11:26 am

good to just relax and re-charge the batteries once in a while. gonna take 5, bbs

11:27 am

bye

11:39 am

{{hego}}

11:39 am

Hi Ruby dear.

11:39 am

{{Kate}|}

11:39 am

How are the pups?

11:40 am

We get tantalizing hints of spring and then it's back to cold and nasty

11:40 am

same here

11:40 am

Rufie has a new andenormous hot spot. I wish I knew what caused them

11:40 am

{{((ruby))}} you came back... are you finished being a short order cook for the household ;)

11:41 am

poor baby

11:41 am

yes! Dinners are a nussance, but my asparagus were wonderful. One buys ready-made hollandaise sauce here inlittle boxes and it's superb

11:42 am

we all eat different stuff

11:42 am

that's a pain

11:42 am

as long as no one complains --then i go on strike

11:43 am

lol. good for you!

11:43 am

fortunately, husband is always grateful.

11:43 am

mmmm hollandaise & asparagus :) poor little rufie, is it something that will be outgrown with time?

11:44 am

asparagus with morel mushrooms, hollandaise and a pached egg yolks on top. How wonderful is that?

11:44 am

gratitude helps

11:44 am

sounds good Ruby

11:44 am

or evenn poached* And little Rufie now weighs about 80 lbs

11:45 am

I never thought I would like white asparagus, but they are wonderful

11:46 am

I like them

11:46 am

my mother never made fresh asparagus when I was Young, so i thought I hated them.

11:46 am

<------ wishes to invite herself to ruby's for dinner :)

11:46 am

of course, if you put hollandaise o n your shoe, it would probably be delicious, too

11:47 am

my mother never served mushrooms of any ilk, hence i can't stand them, unfortunately :(

11:47 am

do yoou prefer husband's spicy chicken pasta or my fancy asparagus, Kate?

11:48 am

may i have a bit of both please?

11:48 am

i USED TO HUNT AND EAT WILD MUSHROOMS BUT ONCE MADE A MISTAKE AND WOUND UP IN HOSPITAL. sINCE THEN, i CONLY EAT THE LITTL WHITE ONES, FRESH CHANtrelles (if I pick them) or dried morels.

11:48 am

but if i have to choose, it wuld be the asparagus - something i never get enough of :)

11:49 am

the spicy chicken is over the top

11:49 am

all sounds yummy!

11:49 am

what sort of spices? always looking for new ideas..

11:49 am

just get here, Kate, and they're yours. They're in season for another month or two

11:50 am

Matter of semantics, if you've never eaten something, it makes no sense to say "you don't like it". You don't like something that you HAVE eaten and don't like the taste of. Semantics over.

11:50 am

perhaps i can save my pennies for next spring... gotta check my airmiles

11:51 am

husband likes very hot food and the idea for his spicy chicken came to me in a dream -- I cook the chicken legs in olive oïl, then add hot dried red Pepper, oregano and salt, then a can of italian tomatoes and a chopped onion and some dried garlic. It cooks for a couple of hours and then I serve it over fusilli.

11:52 am

Sounds good, minus the hot peppers.

11:52 am

<drooling all over keyboard>

11:52 am

great dream Ruby

11:52 am

You actually dreamed that up!

11:52 am

Hi Molly

11:52 am

it is so spicy that it makes my eyes water when I cook it and our old boy, Rufus, would run out of the house

11:53 am

that's hot!!

11:53 am

my son called it "gratuitously spicy" -- pretentious or what? lol

11:54 am

accurate, I'd say.

11:55 am

as he is arriving on Thursday with his vegetarian (strict) wife, I'm making couscous with the meats cooked separately, humus, baba ganoush and tabouli

11:56 am

tomorrow I go to the halaal butcher for the lamb and merguez

11:56 am

are you preparing a full menu for their perusal ruby? perhaps there is a raw food or vegan person coming as well

11:56 am

I used to be a cook, not much any more but for my son -- sky's the limit

11:57 am

I would have to shoot myself....

11:58 am

nice that you still spoil him when he's home. no need to shoot yourself . what kind of cooking did youdo?

11:58 am

fortunately, DIL doesn't make a fuss and would be happy with bread and cheese. I just go out of my way for her to please my boy

11:59 am

My biggest meal was an Indian buffet for 12 including homemade breads and desserts

11:59 am

I was a lot younger

11:59 am

11:59 am

11:59 am

whoops

11:59 am

must go. i'm hungry now. lol

11:59 am

my best dish is gazpacho

11:59 am

chog has hiccups from alll th4e food chat :)

11:59 am

hahah hego

12:00 pm

making me hungry too, but i will carrry on with this grid

12:00 pm

there isn't any place in this small town to get indian food... sometimes i really get a craving for a good curry

12:00 pm

if it was up to me, I would just eat eggs and bread

12:01 pm

I used to make lamb curry, vegetables vindaloo, khire ka raita, gulaab jaman, etc etc and my own puris

12:02 pm

ah, you are in the land of really excellent local breads :)... and cheese, and wine... i could almost live on that myself

12:02 pm

it is too much work for this old gal

12:02 pm

you must have me for a lamb curry! (really craving now)

12:03 pm

but the local restaurants, except for the two very fancy ones, are awful because the meat is of poor quality and they tend to put cheese on all the vegetables

12:04 pm

in my previous iife, I was a faculty wife, thus learned to cook

12:04 pm

so, i guess you don't dine out very often then... hard to believe quality is that poor :(

12:04 pm

hi ruby, Kat

12:04 pm

bichon! welcome home :)

12:05 pm

we eat lunch out 5 days a week but the food is poor to awful, I just haven't the strength to do 3 meals a day

12:05 pm

{{bichon and ben}}

12:05 pm

I didn't know I was away.

12:05 pm

bread brie and salad 7 days a week for lunch?

12:05 pm

But, Ben is a temporary addition to my Bichon family

12:05 pm

how old is he?

12:06 pm

we go to the local Italian and it's not any good except when he bakes his own bread

12:06 pm

8, but you wouldn't know it. He was given up by his owner because she had to leave him home alone 12 hours a day and he was doing naughty things

12:07 pm

You eat out in France, and it isn't good?

12:07 pm

you are dashing all my conceptions of france ruby. haven't been there since i was a little girl

12:07 pm

I'll bet he's happy at your house!

12:07 pm

this is a bad corner of France for food, but the scenery makes up for it

12:08 pm

what kind of (dog?) is ben?

12:08 pm

ing to England 5/29, so he will have to go to a different foster or be adopted

12:08 pm

Same as my other two, a Bichon

12:09 pm

oooh, going on holiday! where in england, how long details required :)

12:10 pm

We are going to th Cotwolds and will be gone from home for two weeks. We'll be walking from town to town and perhaps visit Oxford and Bath

12:10 pm

what a lovely trip!

12:11 pm

you betcha. Something we've wanted to do for years

12:11 pm

I've never been in the Cotswolds but I've heard they are beautiful

12:12 pm

Deli.ghtful

12:12 pm

sounds fantastic bichon! i hope you take lots of pictures and post them so we can share your tramp through the fair isle :))

12:12 pm

I will take lots of pictures and videos

12:12 pm

and the food is so much better than here

12:13 pm

I'll put the videos on YouTube

12:13 pm

12:13 pm

12:40 pm

bichon, if you come back to chats--I'm going to England nes Monday till May 14. Home base in Dorset, freinds' farm. We'll go to the Cotswolds, I have two special places to see. I have lived in England, my Eldest born there, and I've taken 8 lit classes (24 each--we had a coach)--and we did unusual things like climb Watership Down with Richard adams. You will love the cotswolds and their sunny brock. Don't miss whitehorse hill and the Cerne giant.

12:42 pm

please somebody tell bichon when she comes back. sorry my mispellings. the tear I lived there was in Oxford.

12:43 pm

2:33 pm

2:33 pm

Thank God you didn't say cats make you crazy. You would be stoned at the city limits on this board.

2:33 pm

is there more than one cat sound in this grid?

2:33 pm

yes we taped it from Fox

2:34 pm

molly, i love all furry critters, and the feathered ones as well come to think of it :)

2:34 pm

yes, just found another cat sound

2:34 pm

hopefully more dragons tonight in GoT

2:35 pm

i don't get game of thrones any more where i am .. it's on a very premium channel line-up here :(

2:35 pm

we have sky and seem to get everything which is great s0 many lovely shows to watch

2:36 pm

is sky very dear over there?

2:36 pm

I don't get HBO either. I think they are taking a big hit right now with so many people axing their cable.

2:36 pm

it's very premium here too, i mostly watch online after the fact

2:36 pm

i have friends who watch it it bars though - once GRRM actually watched at the bar with them!

2:37 pm

well we get all the channels, hd and 3d, landline broadband for about £90 a month

2:37 pm

there seem to be a lot of good shows lately that aren't easy to access without paying an arm and a leg every month to the cale company :(

2:38 pm

Interrupting chat for news from the north. Press conference on CNN now. Terrorist plot to derail Toronto to NY train: http://tinyurl.com/bnox8tg

2:38 pm

sky is satellite the cable company here is rubbish - we have had experience of them and wouldnt dream of going back

2:38 pm

not again. going to the news

2:39 pm

ty welki, i'm going to see now. i was an engineer tn toronto for more years than i care to count

2:39 pm

welki, what is up with all the crazies this month?

2:39 pm

we also watch Hemlock Grove on Netflix - that isgood

2:39 pm

reportedly linked to Al Queda

2:40 pm

oooh dear - not again - I will go have a look as well

2:40 pm

i think it's ongoing, pip :(

2:40 pm

so glad they were caught and arrested before anyone was put in danger

2:45 pm

not on the news here, maybe later

2:45 pm

bs

2:46 pm

the amtrak trains that go new york to toronto go through my town. they cross at buffal into fort erie. still watching the live interview

I parked on Norfolk St.today.

Th famous Norfolk St. Iam so sick of all of this.

3:06 pm

the suspects are older; not young kids. the press RCMP conference says that the intent was to derail a VIA train totonto-montreal... though the headlines say new yourk -toronto train. VIA doesn't run in the states. the amtrak runs back and forth under a reciprocal agreement - it is re-crewed at the border in both directions. they aren't releasing much info right now.

3:16 pm

Kat, it's distressing to hear this story

3:22 pm

Not sure why the FBI would be involved in the investigation if this didn't have to do with a train that traveled between the US and Canada.

3:26 pm

fbi and cdn authorities like RCMP and csis often work together as there are often ties on both sides of the border. just rmember, like always, there will be a lot of misinformation and rumour in the beginning. co-incidentally, the house of commons is debating the 3rd reading of Bill S-7, the Combating Terrorism Act today. it is designed to strenghthen aexisting laws.

3:30 pm

they are scheduled for a bail hearing in toronto in the morning - we'll probably know a lot more then. they did say they were linked to al queda in iran (not iraq)

3:31 pm

well, 30 minutes to closing time here if anyone wants any hints or stats.

3:43 pm

Just getting started and have 148 words ahead of me. Sunny, breezy day in the great northwest with temperatures at about 53 degrees Farenheit.

i am watching nn now, no news conference

3:52 pm

hi stidge, enjoy the grid :) sounds like a nice day there! the conference is over TO. but you may be able to replay it? try the link welki put up - it is for CTV news - a national broadcaster in canada

so what did canada do th them? I mean, no one is as eveil as the usa...

3:56 pm

lol, i would laugh, but i don't want to ruffle any feathers... up here we do think of ourselves as "peacekeepers" and can't as a people understand why ANYONE would want to hurt us...i did check. if you use welki's link, when it loads you can just click play on the main video just under the headline..it takes a bit to load. there are 3 speakers, and a bit of it will be in french, but translated either before or after by the speaker

3:57 pm

i must go now, see you all tomorrow. hagd everyone. TO - please take over bartending duties ;)

3:58 pm

howdy my friends:)) back for a few more words

8:11 pm

ah. and if i were going to japan, probably something i would need to know

8:11 pm

toukyou e basu wa doko desu ka

8:12 pm

<---phonetically :D

8:13 pm

When I went to Japan, I had taxi instructions written in Japanese - had to trust my colleagues - I got to where I was going, but it was odd being illiterate

8:13 pm

I learned a lot of Japanese when I worked with several in a warehouse.. I tried to take it in College and it was WAY over my head

8:14 pm

東京行きのバスはどこですã\n‹

8:14 pm

Hey, it censored my Japanese

8:14 pm

oh lol .. what did you say?

8:15 pm

I tried to copy Google's automatic translation of that phrase

8:15 pm

I think mine is more casual gremlin

8:18 pm

Hmm, fat, bald and Japanese.

8:18 pm

HA.. taking KJE lessons?

8:19 pm

Not at all. I don't for one minute believe that you are short, fat or bald. The jury is out on Japanese though. : P

8:19 pm

I have two years of Japanese lessons... but it was in 1998-2000 so I'm almost afraid to type things out for fear I'll make basic mistakes :/

8:20 pm

I've met him -- he is short, at least compared to me. He appeared neither bald nor Japanese though. :)

8:25 pm

py5 victory

8:26 pm

and i grew up near a former py6 mine :)

8:26 pm

py7 victory?

8:26 pm

well.. DC has met me.. I think he'd confirm I'm not bald, or short.. fat ... well.. I can't comment on that

8:26 pm

ti7?

8:27 pm

I think the bald thing is some kind of wild Yul Bynner fantasy. : P

8:27 pm

since when is 6 feet considered short?

8:28 pm

oh dear. i have to be up at 5am for work, guess that means it is bedtime!

8:28 pm

It's not.

8:28 pm

Outside the tin, a cat. Inside the ***, * ***se.

8:29 pm

thx gremlin, weird word

8:30 pm

So, 6 feet being short by comparison would make the comparing person what? 7 feet tall?

8:30 pm

How tall are you DC?

8:31 pm

6 2"

8:31 pm

???

8:32 pm

no, i'm just shy of 5'11"

8:32 pm

LOL.. then you're short.> :D

8:33 pm

i classify people as short if i can see over their heads. Never mind that they are of average height. On my dad's side of the family, i'm very short, about as tall as most of the women.

8:35 pm

ok...i just signed on. (hello everyone!!) i have to say you are giants!!!

8:35 pm

I"m six feet

8:36 pm

8:36 pm

8:37 pm

It's okay Dorens. Most of it's going over my head anyway. I'm still wondering why Ru's picture is disconcerting.

Wow, i didn't even notice, ruru, my bad LOL

8:38 pm
