greetings friends

1:52 am

good morning puglet. hope you are warm and the snow has stopped

1:53 am

morning bf--more snow later today and a big downfall in temp :(

1:53 am

How is it for you

1:55 am

We are to get three days of below zero weather. Hopefully we can make it thru. The cold is causing all kinds of problems here. We are all checking on our neighbors and calling friends making sure everyone is as comfortable as possible.

1:55 am

We are to get three days of below zero weather. Hopefully we can make it thru. The cold is causing all kinds of problems here. We are all checking on our neighbors and calling friends making sure everyone is as comfortable as possible.

1:56 am

Do you have neighbors that can check on you ?

1:56 am

sounds about like us---what state are you in? Iam in the mid-west of Indiana

1:57 am

we have neighbors but they dont check in with us

1:57 am

I live south of Pittsburgh, PA.

1:58 am

you guys just had a heavy snow storm , didnt you

1:59 am

We are in the midst of another several inches of snow tonight and tomorrow night. Enough already. You all have a lot of snow too, don't you?

2:00 am

I hope you don

2:01 am

I dont think we have as much as you guys. We just got 3-4 inches yesterday and about the same for today with strong winds and then a big drop in temps (about like you guys)

2:02 am

t have to get out in this weather. People here are working from home and not out on the roads. I will say tho that the road crews do a great job in keeping the roads clear. I will check outside to see how much snow is actually on the ground.

2:02 am

Then unless it changes a wintermix over both days next week end--

2:04 am

Also, I go to cbs Pittsburgh and click on the traffic cams and can see the snow all over the area the northern areas get a lot more than we do. our wind has stayed fairly calm so far. ready for spring

2:04 am

We still got big drifts from yesterdays snow. Iam so over this winter. It just seems to drag on and on

2:05 am

I think when people can'

2:05 am

thats neat to be able to do (the traffic cams)

2:07 am

can't get out they become quite surly. You can type in cbs and then whatever city you want and see is something comes up most cities have a cbs station. Most of my relatives are in the Midwest and west and I can check on their areas that way

2:08 am

okay, thanks for that -bf

2:11 am

hope all yu guys/gals are safe...we don't have that sorta storms here xoxo

2:12 am

thanks diz--Iam safe, just hard to get out and Hello

2:13 am

I just looked outside and it is so much snow. Must be around a foot or so. No one has shoveled their walks and we are not going to until next week. thanks diz, we are safe and warm thank goodness we are blessed with great neighbors and friends.

2:14 am

hey Pugs, me is trying imagine to be snow stormed in

2:14 am

has the snow quit bf

2:15 am

they have put on tv no one on the roads unless its a have to thing

2:17 am

the snow has stopped for now but it to begin again tomorrow and snow into Monday morning. Not sure how much more will fall and at this point it doesnot matter . our roads have been cleared and most folks have four wheel drive so getting out is not too bad but don' t want to

2:17 am

its not bad Diz if you are prepared for it but when it just lingers on and on like its been you need out for a while---Ive been so bored

2:18 am

ya need snow chains'

2:19 am

they havent touched ours yet. But the wind was so bad that it wouldnt had mattered anyway, and being out in the country ours are the last to get the plows

2:19 am

I live in a condo complex and some people are getting together for card games, etc and seem to be having fun with this. Pugs I think we will make snow icecream tomorrow.

2:20 am

red boxes

2:20 am

red boxes but are gone now

2:21 am

I've got to get up and walk around for a minute or two. will be back later.

2:22 am

that sounds yummy bf and thats nice you got people to help pass time

2:25 am

My poor dogs, are very active and its so cold they can only take it for five or ten minutes. They are getting coop up madness too-lol

2:27 am

just saw on CNN that people on a cruise ship have become ill with some kind of virus. really can't feel too sorry for them. my cats do not go outside but like to watch the snow falling they would be quite miffed to get their feet wet and cold. not that they are too spoiled and all.

2:28 am

They dont sound spoiled to me--lol

2:28 am

I don't have a dog anymore and miss having one. we really can't have one here as there is no yard for them to run and we have to keep them on leashes when outside.

2:29 am

maybe a very small dog might work

2:36 am

I thought about a small dog but have a big male cat that is such a terror. His name is Simon but also goes by Rambo Blunderbutt. We have had to tape the lamps to the end tables and night tables and cannot have anything on a flat surface as it becomes his play toy. We have had to block off the kitchen as he gets on the counters eand then opens the cabinet doors and the pantry and plays with the cans, etc. Hopefully he will grow up as he matures he is only a little over a year old . I have to watch him all the time. He tries to get into the back of the tv in my bedroom and see if the oeople are in there. it just goes on and on. like having a toddler around. I pop his butt with a rolled up newspaper to get his attention and it seems to slow him down a bit. he is so funny and fetches anything== thrown for him to catch. really enjoy him

2:38 am

Well with a cat like that why do you need a dog-lol---what does he look like

2:44 am

I have three rescue kitten/cats. They are black with very long silky fur and big plume like tails. Their fur is so soft and beautiful. Besides Simon we have Sophie, a very delicate female but puts Simon in his place often. She will wait until I throw a ball for him and then she will lay on it and he gets so upset. He knows better than to pounce on her as I will put him in the extra bedroom for time out and he haates being alone. The other cat is a male and about two years old. He is very shy and spends most of his time downstairs in the laundry. It is carpeted and warm so he has food and water and litter box and his own cat bed . Simon and Sophie sleep where ever they want. They ave cat beds but don't sleep in them much. They are all spoiled and beautiful.

2:46 am

I take it Simon is the newest to the family. Sophie seems to know how to put him in his place. Must be very fun watching them

2:47 am

I love my babies. Have always had cats but these seem to be special for some reason. How many dogs do you have? What kind?

2:50 am

I have my sister's cat(Sassy) when she divorce her ex took her to the pound and my sister went and got her and ask if I would take her. And I did. She was a house cat with my sister. Here she has to stay out due to the dogs. But she has adjusted very well. I have now had her about five years. She must be about twenty or close to it. It upset me that my sister has three house cats now with her new hubby.

2:52 am

I have 3--a pug--a great dane and a boxer (all rescue too) and then my sister has a small dog-(she is very old)

2:55 am

What a nice mix of dogs. A great dane would be like a giant dog next to the pug. I had a boxer growing up and it was a very good dog. It is nice that you live where they can be free outside and play like dogs are supposed to. your sister should come get Sassy I bet Sassy misses her. but it is nice that she has a good home with you. Do they have outside dog houses to stay in?

2:57 am

I have a barn--and they have a straw filled box up in the loft too. But she usually picks where she wants to sleep. And we have about 3/4 of an acre fenced in for the dogs.

2:58 am

hello everyone

2:59 am

Believe it or not, the great dane(Beulah) is bossed by the pug--lol

2:59 am

Hi Pink

2:59 am

I would love to live on a farm with a big garden and lots of pets. I think you are very lucky to be able to live out like you do. hI pink

2:59 am

hiya puglet nice to see eyou

3:00 am

I bet the great dane is very protective of the pug. what fun that must be to watch.

3:00 am

I do enjoy the country and always have

3:00 am

Nice to see you too Pink. Hows the weather where you are

3:01 am

going to finish the grid will talk again later.

3:01 am

cold and windy by you too I bet

3:02 am

Beulah can put Annapooh's whole head and more in her mouth but they play together so good. And they are funny

3:02 am

how sweet pug

3:02 am

Yes, Pink and waiting on more snow

3:02 am

yup0 here too

3:03 am

then a big drop in temps again

3:03 am

eactly it has been a very wintery winter lol

3:04 am

It has and no let up in sight---seems so long since we've had a day above the teens

3:05 am

3:05 am

3:05 am

Hi alleyn--I dont have either but there is a ad7 and an7

3:58 am

hi, all. My son has just moved in with us following the death of his former stepmother, with whom he had lived for a few years.

3:59 am

Found it! The ad7 from the top.

4:00 am

Alleyn, Liz clued them at about 3:16

4:00 am

Is this something you wanted Angel and hello

4:01 am

puglet, yes. We offered and he accepted.

4:01 am

Found them. How does one view chat that has left the page?

4:02 am

the tiny square n4 to my friends

4:03 am

Thats good then Angel,, hope everything works out for you

4:03 am

How old is he?

he is 31, and he is looking for a job.

4:05 am

Thx. Always wondered what that was!

4:05 am

I wish luck to you both

4:06 am

yw

4:08 am

going for coffee-brb

4:17 am

heloo? Dinky grid for a Sunday!

4:17 am

HELLO Ruby!

4:18 am

yay {{little pgs!!!}}

4:18 am

pugs*

4:18 am

It may be small but its not very friendly(or not so for me)

4:19 am

How is Mis Ruby today

4:19 am

they're never friendly for me. I'm happy with half, nbt and nbs, but don't always even get those.

4:19 am

As least with the big ones, there's something to do

4:21 am

Ive been so bored for the last several days. Crabby weather is making me feel closed in

4:21 am

Iam the same way,, if I can get half I feel okay

4:21 am

I can imagine. My sister, in NY, is miserable with extreme cold and ice as well as in termittent snow. She barely pokes her head out

4:22 am

I never list because even though Sprite showed me how, I could never do it on my own

4:22 am

and seems to be no let up anytime soon

4:22 am

Is your sister younger or older then you

4:23 am

we are very lucky with the weather here. only one small snowstorm so far and most days, it hovers around 35-40F/

4:23 am

My sister is 6 years older but has an infirm husband and is stuck with his care and caregivers

4:23 am

that would feel like spring here--lol

4:24 am

the irises thought so, too, and are about 4 inches up. If we get a hard frost there'll be no flowers

4:24 am

that takes alot out of a person

4:25 am

I have alot of irises--ne4 to lilac they are my favorites

4:26 am

Ive been trying to find me a white iris but havent had any luck in finding one yet

4:26 am

my friend Catherne gave me some pale lavender ones and some that are almost black about 3 years ago, but I've hardly had any flowers although they come up. Either the dogs chew them up or the weather doesn't cooperate.

4:27 am

InPris, next to the Luxembourg Gardens, is a small plot of "ris garden" which I've nly seen once, but it must have 60 different kinds of ris It's gorgeous! You would faint

4:27 am

Ive got about five or six different colors

4:28 am

Oh that would be very pretty I bet---did you take pictures of it

4:29 am

no, I only saw it once, years ago, and didn't have a camera

4:30 am

Are you pretty far from paris

4:31 am

4 hrs by train, 6 by car

4:33 am

thats not too bad I guess if you dont mind traveling

4:33 am

I wish we had trains to travel by here

4:33 am

I've gone a couple of times, but I can't leave Burt any more

4:34 am

I understand that! Are you not afraid to travel alone

4:35 am

I don't like cities any more but when I was working, I travelled all over the place alone. Since 9/11 I'm afraid of flying and spooked by crowds and subways

4:36 am

I think alot of people are now -a-days

4:36 am

I know for myself I dont feel safe going into the bigger cities with all the crime that goes on

4:37 am

I'm afraid too, not so much of crime but of terrorists and crowds bumping into me

4:38 am

do you not have a girlfriend that would go on outings with you

4:39 am

I get you there. Gangs and stuff like that have grown so much the last few years

4:39 am

I go to the movies and out to lunch about once a month with my friend but, otherwise, it's too hard to leave old Burt

4:40 am

the last time I took a train outside of London, a gang went running through the train, banging the seats and making a lot of noise. I was terrified

4:40 am

well thank goodness you get out at least then. That helps you to get a break from home life

4:40 am

oh my! I bet you were!

4:41 am

we go to Annecy to the movies, about 15 minutes away. But the whole valley, with its many towns and villages, has a population of less than 150,000

4:42 am

How long have you lived there now Ruby

4:42 am

since Nov '98

4:42 am

uh oh, have to go. Mr. Burt is up de-icing the car!

4:42 am

See you later, sweetie!

4:43 am

okay, bye Ruby

5:54 am

good morning all :)

5:55 am

or make that afternoon, oops

5:56 am

WOW! I thought you had ran away! lol good morning

5:57 am

hi pug, my darling, am so sorry. Late night, bit of a nasty waking and then it was hiccup time when I tried to log on, so I answered emails first.

5:59 am

I heard back from rose and it will be ok, dear pug. Don't worry too much. Just give her time to work through this. It was bound to happen.

5:59 am

NP,,sorry about the bad night---I thought I was going to lose you along with our Rose--cause you wont be here tomorrow

6:00 am

I do worry for her but as long as I see her lurking I know shes there

6:00 am

no, will go to the clinic tomorrow. But after that I'll be back in the mornings. Missed you too!

6:01 am

I know you worry, grin. Just try to not do it too much. Have faith in her strength and courage. She will pull through.

6:01 am

I got on late today too and missed most everyone and I havent seen OO lurking or on here either

6:02 am

he might still pop in.

6:02 am

They are going through a whole new like life and I get that. Will take many changes to (dont know what word to use)

6:03 am

those are the right words, I think, and you are right. Plus they have to digest all that has happened. Our rose even more than Don, with her mother dying and her physical ordeals. Time will help, and so will we.

6:05 am

so how is everything at your house

6:06 am

all good. Husband had a gout attack in his knee, of all places, but is walking again now. Kids are busy teenagers and enjoying themselves. And I am ok, with Terra at my feet and you in the chog.

6:07 am

Ive have been so bored the last few days :(---My friend Carol and her hubby was to come over the week end but due to weather thats out :(

6:08 am

Hi sprite and pugs - hugs :)

6:08 am

6:09 am

Hi Liz--welcome back

6:09 am

6:09 am

Sorry that your friend didn't make it over this weekend, pugs.

6:10 am

6:10 am

6:10 am

6:10 am

Hi Mr Crossy

6:10 am

Yes, thanks sprite. Just read the e mail - but will sort it tomorrow - a couple of glasses of wine tonight, as I told pugs, to celebrate one year an Aussie!

6:10 am

oh check out our icons... all animals here.

6:10 am

Hi Crossy.

6:11 am

That's funny sprite - hadn't noticed that before!

6:11 am

gratz on one year of Aussiedom, Liz! And don't worry, the books will keep. Indefinitely even. Whenever you feel like it, just use the link.

6:11 am

well I feel like a animal in a cage--lol

6:11 am

Really looking forward to it :)

6:12 am

*throws pug the key* Come on out and play with us.

6:12 am

Well I hope you get released soon, pugs. Saddens me to see animals in cages!

6:12 am

Is that the holiday Liz

6:12 am

You mean Australia Day?

6:12 am

yes

6:13 am

That's today but there's a public holiday tomorrow because it falls on a Sunday.

6:13 am

and whats it for

6:13 am

Australia day marks the landing of the first fleet (from the UK) in Australia on 26 Jan 1788.

6:13 am

and how is our crossy today? And his beloved Elegant?

6:14 am

I am fine sprite and my beloved sends her best

6:14 am

A date I had to learn for my citizenship test!

6:14 am

Your turtle looks typically evil, crossy. I've bookmarked it!

6:14 am

good to hear, crossy. *hugs* to you both.

6:14 am

oh

6:15 am

it is for pros only liz. it is deadly

6:15 am

Crossy, I was not able to find your sea turtle puzzle

6:15 am

crossy makes the most evil puzzles, lol

6:15 am

When I've time and am not tired I'll try it!

6:15 am

try again,pugs. I made some adjustments yesterday and you should see it now

6:16 am

oh dear, it is in black and white! Even more evil.

6:16 am

okay---it was yesterday morn when I tried finding it

6:16 am

Yes, pugs. I found it today.

6:16 am

okay

6:16 am

they are not all evil!! the R.M.S segwun and the farm pumphouse are very friendly

6:16 am

ra 6 plz and good morning all

6:17 am

good morning ivesy!

6:17 am

yes and the snow fence wasent too bad

6:17 am

Hi ivesy, how are you and winter

6:17 am

ra 6 is like the la 6 - meaning to fire off a rocket (the la 6) Ra 6 often has a y at the end.

6:17 am

don't have it yet, sorry ivesy

6:17 am

mountain rive was also very nice but mountain stream in autumn took some work, as well as the 744

6:17 am

And good morning ivesy

6:18 am

ah, thanks Liz

6:18 am

yw!

6:18 am

the 744 was pretty ok for me. The mountain stream took a lot of work.

6:18 am

I done the jeep too and it seems to be the easiest

6:18 am

the jeep and the turkeys were a special request by a babbler

6:19 am

I think mountain stream was the hardest followed probably by the turkeys!

6:19 am

744 was OK because the grid is so familiar. it helped because I changed the background colour.

6:20 am

Iam working on your eggs now Sprite

6:20 am

oh, they are fun, pug. At least I thought so when I worked it.

6:20 am

ty liz!

6:20 am

I did not know about the ability to change the bg colour when I did the 744 and I will let you guess what colour my last puzzle piece was...

6:20 am

white!

6:20 am

White!

6:21 am

bingo!

6:21 am

yw ivesy.

6:21 am

*giggles* Seems we have all been there and done that.

6:22 am

It amazes me the speed at which some people complete the puzzles!

6:22 am

this here looks like a tricky little grid, btw.

6:22 am

Where are all those words hiding?

6:22 am

yeah like Sprite!

6:23 am

I"ve stalled at 35 left! It's been pretty tough going. I probably won't find many more tonight, so will finish tomorrow.

6:23 am

it takes me hours and then I dont always get them

6:23 am

oh Liz, did you see that under my space puzzle someone went on a rant to complain about those quick people being cheaters? Don't know how he/she figures that. No way somebody cheats. They are just better than I am.

6:24 am

met a concrete wall at 48 IN!

6:24 am

yeah, how can you cheat on a puzzle?

6:24 am

How can anyone cheat at a puzzle. I think some people possible have larger screens, which would help. I think some people just manipulate the pieces faster or see colours and shapes faster.

6:25 am

I think so and the ability to organize the pieces at the start

6:25 am

beats me. He is talking about manipulating the puzzle or hitting 'solve'. Nonsense if you ask me.

6:26 am

as for an actual " cheat" I do not think so

6:26 am

I had an uncle that worked puzzle fast (real ones) He never sorted out edge pieces but worked right from the box

6:26 am

anyway, I thinkk some people have more practice and some are simply better. And yes, having a big screen helps. I often shrink the puzzle a little further than necessary and it makes solving (and organising) easier.

6:26 am

with real ones, and jigidi, I always sort

6:27 am

me too--except for those under 20

6:27 am

yeah and organising your pieces is not cheating. That is just a technique to use. I always sort too. I want to have my frame before I go puzzling. Btw, I don't even want to be fast. Jigsaws are like meditation for me. Would hate to feel rushed.

6:27 am

i do not play anything under 150

6:27 am

I've also added a comment sprite. I also shrink the puzzle to start and move the pieces in as I have fewer left and then expand the puzzle more and more.

6:27 am

I only work the huge ones.

6:28 am

I worked mimicats, though they were small because they were lovely photos and she's a babble friend!

6:28 am

Otherwise I also tend to work the larger ones.

6:28 am

I dont often but some I want to see the poem or whatever writing is on them and I cant see them unless I work them and enlarge them

6:29 am

funny though,sprite, with the sea turtle, the game would not let me go higher than what it is currently set at. it maxed in the 200,s

6:29 am

I think it depends on the resolution of the pic, crossy.

6:29 am

ahh

6:30 am

yes, I have noticed something similar with my puzzles, crossy. I think it depends on resolution and on ratio.

6:30 am

Liz--I think you can now access my 3 puzzles. I haven't gone back in to make them more difficult, so they're very easy and pretty pictures. They've all been my icons here in the past.

6:31 am

and i have moved my poetry off of babble. for those interested, you may now find them on poetry.com

6:31 am

I did your 3 puzzles, mimi - I enjoyed them but usually do larger puzzles.

6:31 am

((crossy)) I still don't have the turtle...don't know why. I've refreshed more than once. Maybe I need to get out of it completely and come back?

6:31 am

under your name here Crossy

6:31 am

I left you messages after completing them, Mimi.

6:32 am

yes,puglet and the ones on poetry.com are all my own

6:32 am

okay

6:32 am

actually no,puglet,under my real name. just email me for info

6:32 am

I didn't know I could make them more complicated but crossy says I can so I'll try to do that at some point. I didn't get your messages, Liz...where did you leave them?

6:32 am

bookmarkd, crossy, thanks

6:32 am

Where it says "comment".

6:33 am

since money and prizes can come from that site, i used my own name

6:33 am

Okay crossy

6:33 am

Ahhh--will look later, Liz. Thanks.

6:34 am

yup many players offer their puzzles in easy and hard versions, mimi

6:34 am

Mimi, Crossy said he fixed the turtle puzzle. I too had trouble getting it

6:34 am

They are lovely pics, Mimi.

6:34 am

yup the turtle is ready now

6:35 am

awesome, crossy, I like it. Bookmarked!

6:35 am

i played yours, mimi. they are pretty

6:37 am

will add some later this week again. Wasn't in the mood to create new ones when battling the flu, but much better now.

6:38 am

Look forward to them!

6:38 am

I am too

6:39 am

i will try to add one new on a week. have not travelled up on the mountain in a bit, but will fix that soon

6:39 am

OK off to my book. Rereading The Book Thief, having seen the film last week, which I enjoyed.

6:39 am

Great--I'll go back and try to get the turtle. I'm finding Mountain River a bit challenging...and you know I'm not much into challenges where my games/puzzles are concerned.

6:40 am

enjoy, Liz! *hugs* Have a lovely evening.

6:40 am

25 left for tomorrow. Hugs to all and enjoy your days :)

6:40 am

bye Liz, enjoy

6:41 am

good morning all - enjoying puzzles on jigidi - thnx for making them and letting us know about this - another addiction

6:41 am

Hi Teach

6:41 am

hi teach! Like you needed another one, right? :)

6:42 am

((Liz)) See you later...thanks for the comments..just looked.

6:42 am

Crossy---I now have the turtle! Yay! I think I can manage that one.

6:43 am

thought this one was enough - but can expand to add another

6:43 am

have done puzzles by crossy and lizlin - will now look for puzzles from mimi

6:43 am

glad you joined us there too, teach

6:44 am

enjoy it mimi!

6:44 am

if you want to see mine, they are under spritelet

6:44 am

Teach, you've got to also try TheJigsawPuzzles.com...FABULOUS pictures with categories to choose from that are unique.

6:44 am

sprite was already taken :(

6:44 am

mimi - had a harder time manuvering the pieces with that one

6:44 am

what kind does the Sprite person have on there or did you check

6:45 am

Gotta go for now and finish up some work. Back later. Hugs all around.

6:45 am

will look sprite - thnx for letting us know - fun to do puzzles thsat u know the maker

6:45 am

and secondary addictions are ok, wvteach because you never know when some mean person will cut you off of one:)). i try and juggle at least 5 addictions at a time:)

6:45 am

bye Mimi

6:45 am

pug, there are several. Sprites, I mean.

6:46 am

i am happy that crosshair was not taken:)

6:46 am

oh

6:46 am

as well as crosshair@gmail and crosshair@outlook

6:46 am

sprite and _sprite_ and spriteprincess and so on and so forth.

6:47 am

very nice, crossy. Always cool if you can use the handle you like best.

6:48 am

How did you come by using that handle Crossy, if you dont mind me asking

6:48 am

let me see, still working on a Dutch money puzzle, a puzzle with stars for Liz, and a fireworks puzzle.

6:48 am

BTW, crossy, it won't let me make my puzzles more complex...must be that issue with picture resolution.

6:50 am

:((

6:52 am

ok, duty calls here, must be off for now. *hugs*. Have a blessed day and a peaceful night.

6:52 am

Sprite, going to try your Christmas Stars smaller puzzle...looks like it would be a lot of fun to do.

6:52 am

it stems from a nickname i was given long ago when i was a member of a gun club. It recognized my skill with a scoped rifle and the crosshairs used to aim with. not as pretty as a angry bunny rabbit but that is the story

6:52 am

bye Sprite--hugs

6:52 am

I have a couple of puzzles in smaller size, mimicat. Have fun with them.

6:53 am

Interesting Crossy---thanks for sharing that

6:53 am

and congrats too Sprite

Hi folksies

11:56 am

you think so phan?

11:56 am

good morning bichon

11:56 am

with all the idiots shooting up malls and schools and movies theaters, yes...

11:57 am

that's a bit beyond pissy don't you think?

11:57 am

especially that latests movie theather shooting, a former cop shooting a man for texting during the previews...

11:57 am

yeah, well, I suppose you are right.

11:57 am

couldn't the guy just gotten the manager

11:58 am

wow.. I haven't heard about that one..really?... I guess he doesn't get up for popcorn either :D

11:58 am

LOL bichon

11:59 am

What I don't get is it wasn't even during the movie, it was the freaking previews!

11:59 am

I guess the guy thought "Stand your ground" would apply here

12:00 pm

I stay out of the theater during previews.. they are too loud and too obnoxious

12:00 pm

actually, it was in FL and that is what the defense is claiming...

12:00 pm

was it in Florida? wow...

12:00 pm

And I think that's already been ruled out.

12:00 pm

pretty sure

12:01 pm

is everyone carrying in florida these days?

12:01 pm

At least I live in a snar state. But, we did have Newtown

12:02 pm

Newtown maybe the event that helps change things with Congress someday

12:02 pm

*saner

people are just angry.

12:02 pm

It is gut wrenching to see interviews of the newtown parents

12:02 pm

some people have anger management issues

12:02 pm

http://tinyurl.com/paz85b7

12:03 pm

being angry and shooting someone are pretty wide apart TO

12:04 pm

that's a pretty big step up on the anger scale

they are, but the violence stems from anger

12:05 pm

made it half way!

12:05 pm

hello all....can someone clue the ad 5/16 please?...it's my last word and I cannot find it!

"he dissed me is reason to kill someone. issues of self worth and anger underlie that

12:08 pm

12:09 pm

12:09 pm

i was a passenger when my ex husband got into a race with someone, i font remember who cut whom off, on a two lane road. the other car came up on the passeemger side. it was pretty frightening.

12:09 pm

12:10 pm

:D

12:10 pm

TO, that is frightening!

It's a drag having to use sun-tan lotion in the middle of winter

1:53 pm

My Dad got out of hospital today for a few hours. We had an advance birthday lunch for him. He turns 86 on Wednesday. Tho, he refuses to believe this..... He reckons he is in his 50's.... (I, his daughter, am in my 50's. .... Go figure!)

1:54 pm

Oh poor freaking you. We do not all live the charmed and glamorous life.

1:54 pm

I stopped aging at 50 too soodle

1:57 pm

Oh no, I have seen sexier than Frank in pants, many times.

1:57 pm

Wonderful, Soodle! So what if he can't remember stuff.

1:58 pm

YEAAH.. we can relax again.. Bichon is back

1:58 pm

Ru, that depends entirely on who is without pants!

1:58 pm

corssy is back. don't applaud, just throw money! :)

1:58 pm

... to paraphrase the line from the Hornblower series about the three captains who couldn't agree on the colour of an orange ... ... my mother and mother-in-law couldn't agree on the colour of an orange ... but Frank Sinatra is the sexiest thing in pants ... just ask them.

I've discovered that it takes me four times as long if my teenagers actually want to converse with me while I'm trying to work on one!

2:42 pm

and now it is time for crossy's poem of the day (this one is dedicated to my son)

2:42 pm

Sundays too my father got up early and put his clothes on in the blue black cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him. I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking. When the rooms were warm, he'd call, and slowly I would rise and dress, fearing the chronic angers of that house, Speaking indifferently to him, who had driven out the cold and polished my good shoes as well. What did I know, what did I know of love's austere and lonely offices? - Robert hayden

Wow.

2:42 pm

Nice!

2:46 pm

and you get a twofer! it is also time for crossy's tidbit of the day!!

2:46 pm

The worlds quietest room is minus 9Db. That is so quiet that you can actually hear your blood flowing.The silence is so maddening that it can actually cause hallucinations. The longest anyone has been able to spend in this room is 45 minutes.

Mu lucky day!

My secret is to get someeone else to do it.

Start the screw with tweezers

that's also what I'm using, Molly; but I need to stat the dang screw first

3:23 pm

yukka yuka Soodle

3:24 pm

The oldies are the goldies, Hego!!

3:24 pm

LOL! Well, maybe it's now a moot point. I dropped the screw... I'll be back after I find and get the damn thing in!

3:24 pm

you bet!!

3:25 pm

Use a magnet!!

3:26 pm

or a small ball of plastecine to hold it with

3:27 pm

@ Nef.... As the actress said to the bishop!

3:28 pm

put a bit of pantyhose over the end of the vacuum cleaner nozzle and you can find the screw just by vacuuming the area

3:28 pm

i like to use the 100 dollar pair my wife just bought:))))

3:29 pm

WHAT!

3:29 pm

NM. I found it (with a magnet) and concentrated on doing the job at hand instead of doing too many things at once.

3:29 pm

good job!!

3:30 pm

Yay Nef!

3:31 pm

nurses must be fonts of ingenuity.

3:32 pm

This is the neatest little bookmark light and I've had it for several years. I just thought I'd open the battery port and see what kind of batteries it would need before it totally dies.. I will wait (next time) until some young person is around before I try something with tiny screws again I guess

3:32 pm

crossie, if the poetry stuff is your own writing I'd like to see it. (Like Nef, I too copied your poem.)

3:32 pm

I didn't know anyone wore panty hose anymore.

3:33 pm

Moll is right, tho, those eye glass kits are great for that stuff.

3:33 pm

I don't Molly

3:33 pm

LOL, hego. I really think that being able to think outside the box is a definite trait of nurses

3:33 pm

a must

I have not been outside since Fri evening.

this is a sad fact.

3:34 pm

it is my own , roundbarn.

3:34 pm

hi RoundBarn!

3:34 pm

Hi Kap

3:34 pm

is heidiger's cat in with you?

3:34 pm

that's not unusual for me Kap.

3:34 pm

Hi RB

No- my velvet underground, Lou and Nico.

That's good to know Hego- I feel like a slug.

3:35 pm

that was a joke to Kaplan. Hi, Nef, I Hi /crissie--yes, I'd like to see your won compositions Crossie. You have my enmail.

3:35 pm

hi Kap. I took some recycling out to the bin; does that count? (oh, and have shoveled paths for the dog several times too)

3:35 pm

ahh ole Nate hawthorne indeed

3:35 pm

Oh no, here we go with is the cat inside or outside the box. That one makes my head hurt.

3:36 pm

In this weather, hibernating is the thing.

No, my cats are in and out of the boxes. Molly, Allison Sweeney is leaving Days of Our Lives this year, fyi.

3:36 pm

well kap said she hadn't been outsiee the box--if it's like the pb, it could be stocked

Sammi Brady- care to audition?

I was in the PB this morning I think.

Lou and Nico think I am their mommy.

3:38 pm

that's right--i was on when you gae us all thiose super clues and a few false leads. great!

3:38 pm

does that count?

3:38 pm

Wait, that was Schrödinger's cat.

3:38 pm

I think I end up in the PB probably once a day myself. Thank goodness it gets stocked so much

Yeah, that was fun of me.

3:38 pm

schrodieger, heidiger--what's the diff?

3:38 pm

i will send you a few samples, RB

Can you get fat in a virtual penalty box?

Did Husserl have a cat?

3:39 pm

virtual fat

3:39 pm

hard to lose

3:39 pm

thanks crossie--i enjoy, not tear apart.

3:40 pm

not as hard as real fat though hego

3:41 pm

It's easier to talk about The Minister's Cat

3:46 pm

The Minister? His cat? I think I better go to bed. I've lost the plot. :-(

3:47 pm

Pay attention!1

3:47 pm

that is well,RB,they are delicate at best. They may not stand up to harsh light:)) they are on the way to your in box in 2 minutes

3:51 pm

Heading bedward, confused. Luckily, thats my default these days, so I expect to sleep like a baby. (I.e. Nod off to sleep & wake up screeching about 3.00 am)! Good night all.

3:51 pm

Good Night, Soodle. Sleep well

3:51 pm

Nitey nite Soodle.

3:53 pm

Could someone explain why "swede" is a word but "dane" isn't?

3:54 pm

have often wondered

3:55 pm

ok Roundbarn, i THINK it may be in your in-box now. had some difficulty

3:58 pm

Good morning all

3:58 pm

Enable only accepts words that are in its dictionary: TYPES OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED Proper nouns, abbreviations, contractions, hyphenated words and foreign {words that are not in the Enable Dictionary.} This issue is not whether dane is a word. It may well be a word. It is not, however, in the Enable Dictionary.

3:58 pm

The Minister's Cat is a Victorian parlor game. It's featured in the film Scrooge (the musical)

3:58 pm

nef, a swede is a ppor cousin of a squash in England. but a dam ne-we ught to have a dof be ok

3:58 pm

swede is a vegetable Nef

3:59 pm

half way and I can't see anymore words. :-(

3:59 pm

Aha! Lynn has the explanation.

3:59 pm

So it's only a word if they say it's a word. Neener, neener.

4:00 pm

apparently a swedish turnip - hence swede I guess

4:00 pm

hey I did too--even though my entry was badly misspelled

4:00 pm

No. The the Help section spells it out, so to speak.

4:00 pm

sorry RB, didn't see yours.

4:01 pm

ahh, the mysteries of Enable

4:01 pm

Wow. I didn't think I'd get so many responses to that. What smart people there are here

4:01 pm

All the exceptions are superfluous if in the dictionary

4:01 pm

Yes 0-0, but the qquestion is why are some words not in that dictionary when thay are in all the others?

4:02 pm

I remember as Mum used to put turnip and swede in her pasties and in her soups - I hate them both

4:02 pm

the dictionary rules all. (I just wish it was updated a bit)

4:02 pm

when I ordered swede in England the first time I was there, at age 22 or 3, what a disappointment. Pale, watery, tasteless. But I found other thijhgs surprisingly good.)

4:03 pm

how does a swede differ from a turnip? (I love turnips)

4:03 pm

Done and must go. Bye All.

4:03 pm

Its just another type of turnip Nef

4:04 pm

bye Hego

4:04 pm

The Enable Word List has not been updated in 14 years. That may explain it.

4:04 pm

I have no answer, hego, other that the caprice of the Enable word compilers. I like Enable because it is so endearing.

4:04 pm

other than

4:04 pm

YAY, hego!!! WTG!!! bye hego.

4:05 pm

oh-oh. Natural gas pipeline broke south of Winnepeg. Not good news in this weather! :-(

4:05 pm

endearing?! maybe capricious

4:06 pm

lynxxx, does it taste or look different than the others?

4:06 pm

Wow ... not so far from Winnipeg

4:07 pm

I can't answer that Nef - too long ago. I avoid them both much to my husbands annoyance

4:07 pm

NM, lynxxx, I just Googled it. It's a rutabaga to me

4:09 pm

Guess its just swede in England...and most of our 'language' here stems from England

4:09 pm

crossie, nothing has showed up (shown up?) on my email, do you have it right? jjack1@uis.edu

4:10 pm

Good evening folks

4:11 pm

hi Bichon

4:11 pm

I'm listening to MPR, o-o.

4:11 pm

Isn't a swede a rutabaga?

4:12 pm

yes - that's what Nef just found out

4:12 pm

parnips it might be

4:12 pm

or.. er.. perhaps

4:12 pm

maybe a version of a rutabega--not as strong. Do we even grow swedes in the midwest? anywhere this side of the atlantic?

4:13 pm

ou 6, pls

4:13 pm

no - parsnips (another horrid root vegetable) are conical like carrots - swede is round

4:13 pm

I like parsnips in soup

4:14 pm

parsnips are a much underappreciated vegetable. Fixed right, they are delicious. Far better than the ubiqitoud cartrot.

4:14 pm

bichon, won the race

4:14 pm

out - gout to the finishing line first

4:14 pm

gout - got

4:15 pm

I liked gout, but ty

4:16 pm

But I wouldn't want gout

4:16 pm

I can't spell, I'm quitting and back to work. Just dsas a bunch of scary food movies. We're feeding our children useless food in their school cafeterias--but I'll quit on that topic.

4:17 pm

I agree with you about parsnips too, RB. With any of those root veggies, they are great if prepared right

4:17 pm

feed those kids turnips and swedes! Bye Roundbarn

4:18 pm

I love parsnips

4:20 pm

lynxx, we'll have to meet on different ground. List your subjects, I can pick a mutual one. But not now--back to work.

4:20 pm

ch5.16 another vegetable we call something else down here - silverbeet to us

4:20 pm

BBL, I'm not seeing any word now and need to take a break

4:20 pm

That comment was very tongue in cheek Roundbarn

4:23 pm

I realize it, Lynxx--and ch5 is very good--my daughter grew lush gardens of it. By, nef, Lynxx, all--and Crossie I musr email and tell him I never got his pomes.

4:24 pm

let me know if you received my e-mail RB. i have a funny feeling i may of missed the mark.

I had someone from a gallery supposed to come this morning and I waited 4 hours, so he rescheduled and now I fear he's not coming. This is what happens when you get vain enough to try to deal with galleries. Small-time.

4:25 pm

will send it again rb

The documentary of American Masters on JD Salinger made me really mad. Just read the man's work! Damn stalkers!

4:27 pm

there. think that did it that time,RB

I cringed when I saw Joyce Maynard.

4:27 pm

Joyce Maynard not one of my favorite people

4:27 pm

Clues for the 7s?

He would have hated this film which could only have got made after he died.

4:28 pm

da 6, pls

4:28 pm

For those who want more info on ENABLE: http://tinyurl.com/mcabvnv

Nor I. His son Matt was notably not part of it.

4:29 pm

after fighting with the thing for almost six year, i think i know just about all i want to know of Enable :))

Joyce Maynard's mother who sent her 18 year old off on a bus in a hand sewed minidress to go live with Salinger

4:30 pm

da6.24 is the angels trumpet plant

4:31 pm

ty lyn

Anyway, the only good thing is that their will be more works released slowly between 2015 and 2020, that deal with his war experiences, early marriage, a Glass and Caulfield family chronology.

4:31 pm

That's one of the reasons I don't like her, the Salinger link

For those who care. But no more stalking tell-all movies. My husband wanted to watch it, and told me that I couldn't talk and swear at it the whole time.

4:32 pm

Like your Spanish Vacation ones Kap

4:33 pm

Well what fun is that?

I have read every word he has published innumerable times since I was 12, and I know all I need to know, especially from his struggle with Seymour- an Introduction.

Spaniah vacation ones- a long time ago.

Thank you though.

4:35 pm

<---liked Catcher in the Rye

There's the Bradys nd the Hortons- but there's really the Caulfields and the Glasses.

Catcher was the beginning.

Of fame.

4:35 pm

Thought that was the Bradys and the Mannings ?

4:36 pm

does a catcher in the rye need a mitt?

No, the Hatfiields and the McCoys.

4:36 pm

ha

And the Ricardos and the Mertzes.

For Molly- every time you eat pastrami, pile the cold cuts high

othewise you'll see salami comin through the rye.

4:37 pm

would you call it a grain slam for a homerun then?

Customers should see salami Comin through the rye, that is.

4:38 pm

Kramdens and the Nortons

4:44 pm

We're such a witty group here

4:45 pm

Let us not forget the Petries and the Helpers.

4:46 pm

ga 6?

4:46 pm

Oh no, I've gotten my reruns mixed up with my deli sandwiches.

5:00 pm

ga6 is where you plant your flowers Bich

i cannot believe I missed that ga6 ty molly

5:01 pm

It's a twisty one

and i watched the salinger doc. the stalking would not be odd today, but back then it was.

5:02 pm

ty Molly

can someone pls tell me if the grammys are on yetand wear?

5:08 pm

Regular show is 8PM on CBS/Eastern Standard Time. Don't know about the red carpet stuff.

thanks, molly. the roots stuff was this afternoon. cj chenier accept a posthumous award for his father clifton, the father of zydeco.

5:11 pm

what's the stalking thing?

well, folks would try to meet salinger because they considered him a guru of sorts.

5:20 pm

well.. he was a recluse thought wasn't he

5:20 pm

Being overly interested in the personal life of someone you do not know...I've never quite understood that. Must be a habit of the lonely.

yes, he was.

5:23 pm

well.. he was a celebrity of his time wasn't he?

he was an author. the cult of celebrity was not established as it is today.

5:26 pm

sometimes it is best not to know the real person behind the writer or the actor anyways

5:27 pm

well. Steven King I would never want to meet. although calling him an author is a slam to other writers

is molly still here?

5:29 pm

lol, ruru, he must have some redeeming value as a author?

5:29 pm

but then again, it has now gotten to such a point he could publish his shopping list at the grocers and sell a million copies

5:33 pm

A lot of people say that about Stephen King. They've never read his good stuff.

5:38 pm

what would his good stuff be?

5:38 pm

I really don't know.. I have read a couple.. they all pretty much seem to me to be the same thing.

5:39 pm

The Shawshank Redemption is one of them.

5:39 pm

oh well. I did like that.. that was a great movie

5:40 pm

It's an even better story. From the same book of stories that "The Body" comes from, which was the basis for the movie "Stand By Me".

5:41 pm

ok.. I retract that statement.

5:42 pm

King is a lot better when he backs away from the scary stuff and gets into relationships.

5:43 pm

His book "On Writing" (non-fiction) is excellent for anyone who is interested in honing their writing skills.

5:49 pm

Just jumping in for a minute to say King's book "Dolores Claiborne" is incredible

5:52 pm

oh he wrote that too?

5:52 pm

Ok.. i'm really stupid now.. loved that movie too

5:52 pm

That is another one that is less about "horror" and more about the dark side of the human personality.

5:52 pm

Yes! Intense story about a difficult mother-daughter relationship

5:52 pm

I thought he just did horror stuff

5:53 pm

Kathy Bates best movie ever.

5:53 pm

Kathy Bates was great in that movie, and in Misery.

5:54 pm

she was fabulous in that movie

6:11 pm

Hello again...

6:11 pm

6:12 pm

Phan has been into the hard stuff again.

6:12 pm

6:13 pm

People often get fluent in Suess when they have been slamming shots.

6:14 pm

haha. not this kid... Not a fan of shots...

o.O

6:14 pm

6:14 pm

Ah, one of those "just wine" people. I get it.

6:34 pm

7:06 pm

Ugh, Beyonce and Jay-Z open the Grammy Awards.

7:07 pm

doesn't start for another hour here, enjoying the ProBowl now

7:08 pm

I will be watching Downton Abbey

7:08 pm

If it gets too bad it'll be Sherlock for us

7:09 pm

There is not much about popular music that I like anymore. My son is watching.

7:09 pm

Well, Ringo and Paul are supposed to be performing as well...almost worth watching for

molly, did you see that clifton chenier got a lifetijme grammy award? that puts zydeco right up there with michael jackson and other music greats

and speaking if ringo, does anyone think he's been "done"?

7:10 pm

That's great TO. I'm glad they are recognizing SOME people with talent.

http://tinyurl.com/jvt6uje

7:16 pm

Glad to see that a zydeco artist has been given this award.

7:20 pm

My eyes are starting to spin....

7:25 pm

Hey, there, spinner!

7:25 pm

Hi mimi!! I am freezing tonight, I suppose you are cozy warm...

7:26 pm

Not to rub it in, Jilly, but it has been in the upper 70's here during the day. Too soon, however, it will be like living in a sauna.

7:27 pm

And if we don't get some snow I dread the fire season Snow level a good 2000 ft higher than it should be...

7:27 pm

I keep missing you here...good to finally touch base. And hello Molly and TO and everyone!

7:28 pm

My times here have been a bit erratic lately, it's good to see you!!

7:28 pm

We have that issue here in Flagstaff and other northern regions...hate fire season.

7:29 pm

You can come and visit any time, Jilly! You're always welcome.

7:29 pm

Thanks sweetie!! As you are here when you need to escape the heat...

7:30 pm

I just might take you up on that around July or August. Especially since I'm hoping my lawsuit will be settled in May and I'll finally have that money....keep a good thought for me.

7:31 pm

You know I LOVE Montana!

7:31 pm

:)

mi mi go sit in the penalty box with ru for mentioning tempertures above freezing to taunt us.

7:32 pm

Well, I sorta started it.... *hangs head in shame*

7:33 pm

BTW, Jilly, was hoping my thyroid tests would come back telling me I needed Synthroid...but no luck there...turns out I'm just FAT!! Am really exploring options and right now drinking lots of jasmine tea for the pro-biotics and going to order a highly rated "green drink." I HATE this weight gain...it's like being Siamese twins with someone you HATE.

7:33 pm

Gladly will go to the PB, TO...always a party there!

7:33 pm

Ok, I give...clue for the ha5?

7:34 pm

Oh, I know mimi! tis a daily challenge for me.

7:34 pm

past tense of a rabbit Jilly, as if that is possible

7:34 pm

Sorry if this offends anyone, but I'm convinced God does not like old women.

7:35 pm

rison to a conjoined twin you hate

7:35 pm

cripes! ty bugs

7:35 pm

Sorry. Mimi I loved your comparison to ..... I have no idea what happend to the first part

7:37 pm

I said that carrying around this extra weight is like being a Siamese twin with someone you hate, Bugs.

7:38 pm

and I loved that! I have the same person hanging on me

7:39 pm

I'll let Jill address this because she is the medical person, but don't some heart medications slow down your metabolism?

7:39 pm

Bugs, I didn't even have a good time gaining the weight! Until 4 years ago I was 123 lbs. and my daughter was giving me the jeans she could no longer fit into---she's 35 yrs. younger! Oh, I want that back. Gravity is no longer my friend. (Excuse me while I pick up my boobs so I won't trip while waking across the room.)

7:41 pm

Thank you, Molly, but I'm on minimal medication now and most the weight happened before the heart attack. But I appreciate you trying! Apparently, my metabolism has come to a dead STOP. It's like being held hostage by the giant marshmallow man from Ghostbusters...and he won't let me out!

7:41 pm

It's called furniture disease mimi.....you know...chest in your drawers

7:41 pm

I used to be able to put on take off weight all the time but after menopause it just goes on and stays there. Even when I broke my ankle, ate only twice a day and hardly much at all, I only lost 5 pounds which is probably the atrophied muscles.

7:42 pm

LOL, Jilly! In my case it's almost chest in my ankles.

7:42 pm

love that term Jilli

7:42 pm

What Bugs just said. Post menopause is something else that messes with your metabolism. Apparently, estrogen is our friend.

7:42 pm

Well, for me, I have learned that simple carbs are not my friend...and I miss them so much!

7:43 pm

*thirds the post regarding menopause

7:43 pm

*fourths

7:44 pm

waves to PIni!

7:44 pm

hiya bugs! :o)

7:44 pm

I'm determined to remedy this..can't stand it anymore. It affects EVERYTHING in your life. Wish I could afford liposuction...but I know that's a bad choice. I'm not on hormone replacement at all but convinced I should be. I had no insurance and no money for so long that I had no choice. Now I'm going to do something about it.

7:44 pm

Hi pini!!

7:44 pm

hey JJ :o)

7:45 pm

I've been trying to figure out how to lose some weight since...if nothing else in the hopes the "ladies" will lose weight, too....

7:45 pm

Does anyone else get EXTREMELY hot while sleeping? Honestly, I have a huge fan on me all the time. Good thing there isn't a man in my life because it would be really embarrassing.

7:46 pm

I'm with you, MC...I have a fan on in my room (if nothing else, just to circulate aire - evening during the winter months)...

7:47 pm

I went on that Garcinia Cambogia and, oddly enough, had a relapse of my atrial fibrillation about 3 weeks into it, though I was off all medication and stable for many months before. Coincidence?

7:48 pm

...sometimes when I get warm, I roll to my stomach, flip the covers, and start kicking to cause a closer breeze...

7:48 pm

Hi Pini. I sleep with a fan on most of the year, but not when it's this cold.

7:48 pm

Mine sleeping thing is worst, need heating blanket on to go to bed, then hubby takes the blanket off me when he comes to bed so I don't overheat later.

7:48 pm

(EGADS, I just remembered, my bunkmate is here....oh, so embarassing if I did that on our trip!!!!) *blush*

7:48 pm

I will say that CoQ10 has helped my energy level extremely well. I take 200 mg a day. It's supposed to help the heart.

7:49 pm

*has visual of pini sleeping*

7:49 pm

hey, molly :o)

7:49 pm

...trust me, JJ...it doesn't last long, cuz sleeping on the girls just aint that comfortable...

7:49 pm

if you did that on the trip Pini, I appreciated it :)

7:50 pm

** finito ** last word AL 6/24

7:50 pm

*sigh of relief* thx for the reassurance, bugs! LOL

7:50 pm

wtg wvteach

7:50 pm

Jilly, I so envy women whose husbands actually are mindful of their needs. I never had that experience in 23 years of marriage.

7:50 pm

WooT WooT WooT teach!!

7:50 pm

Yay teach

7:53 pm

You're right, Jilly, carbs are the enemy. I'm verging on diabetes right now and know that if I could lose weight and get on track with eliminating carbs, I'd be OK. Really hard to do...love pasta and potatoes.

7:54 pm

I know vegans have a tendency to stay thin, but I'd lose the will to live if I had to give up cheese!

7:54 pm

Queso drama !

7:55 pm

((ruru)) you have no idea...as men age they become distinguished...we become hags. Not fair.

7:55 pm

Doc told me to lose weight ... so I hid a barbell.

7:55 pm

ROFL, o-o!

7:55 pm

hi again. So nice to see so many old friends! ;-)

7:56 pm

Nef, dear---good to see you!

7:56 pm

I would have to lose my enjoyment of eating and be okay with being bored out of my mind if all I ate was fruit and vegetables.

7:56 pm

Hi there nef...jump on in!!

7:56 pm

hi ru, o, nef... :)

7:56 pm

better distinquished than extinguished I've always said

7:56 pm

hello friends!

7:57 pm

(We sound like we are all in the same boat; at *that certain* age!

7:57 pm

There 'ya go, Molly!

7:57 pm

you know what they say molly.. an apple a day :D

7:57 pm

(brb)

7:57 pm

Oh trust me, all men do not age in a distinguished way.

7:57 pm

And that boat seems to be the Titanic, Nef....

7:57 pm

<---desperately trying to look distinguished

7:58 pm

I don't think so, mimi. I'm picturing a huge old sail boat and a full moon as we sail off into the sunset......

7:58 pm

I've resigned myself to the fact that my looks are gone and I must now settle for being colorful.

7:59 pm

Good for you, Nef---I'm sinking like a stone...must be the added weight...

7:59 pm

that reminds me of a very funny joke molly

7:59 pm

Notice Nef said a HUGE sail boat. : D

7:59 pm

ou6 plz

7:59 pm

Funny, Molly!

7:59 pm

I noticed MOON

8:00 pm

not in + not walk

8:00 pm

How much did you gain, mimi? I've been going to Weight Watchers for a year now; lost 30 lbs; but put 9 back on in the past 2 months(and it took forever to lose it before!)

8:01 pm

I've lost 15 pounds but gained back 4.. now working on eliminating those pounds

8:01 pm

ty ruru dear, thought I had tried that one...

8:01 pm

Great clue, ruru.

8:03 pm

I'm embarrassed to even say, Nef...it's that bad. And my diet isn't even that bad. I was 123 lbs. into my 50s and then, boom...weight...makes no sense. I was still active (sang with a classic rock band until about 3 years ago) and had lots of boy toys coming after me. These days would have to settle for stationary Legos.....

8:03 pm

I try not to be a stress eater; but man! I blew it over the last 2 months

8:04 pm

Mimi, maybe you stayed slim being chased by the boy toys?

:D

8:04 pm

That's the weird thing...I DON'T eat as a comfort at all and keep no "snacks" in the house. I'm really perplexed at how this happened.

8:04 pm

Dear God molly, watching the beginning of the grammies..

8:05 pm

brb

8:05 pm

Yeah, Nef, maybe---but I didn't actually run that fast. Had to beat them off with a stick..but it was a small stick...and I wasn't that committed to it!

8:05 pm

You were warned. This is what passes for music these days.

jilly: google the lyrics.

8:05 pm

Mimi, I don't have snacks or junk food in our house either.

8:06 pm

brings a whole new meaning to surfboard....

ROFL

8:06 pm

Stick with it for the new kid, Hunter Hayes. He's an up and comer.

8:06 pm

hi everyone!

I am lucky i was not drinking anything jilly!

8:07 pm

My youngest grandson is showing strong signs of musical appreciation...oh, boy...loving that. He got that from ME!

8:07 pm

OK, Jilly, I'm lost...I don't have cable...what is the surfboard reference?

8:07 pm

Hi, dawg!

8:08 pm

Yes, Molly, LOVE Hunter Hayes. And Kacey Musgraves is a good new one as well. So is Civil Wars.

8:08 pm

hi lbd

8:10 pm

hi mimi, hi nef

8:10 pm

I could talk music FOREVER...so will not burden the chog with that. Need to go and have dinner. Great discussion, everyone! Hugs all around.

i saw civil wars. i love kacey

and there is another female country s/s but i cannot remember her name

8:11 pm

You are obviously a woman of taste, TO! My daughter turned me on to Civil Wars and I turned her on to Kacey...we've always done that with music.

8:12 pm

hi dawg!

8:12 pm

Not sure all of you know that I'm classically trained in voice but love nothing better than belting out classic rock...can just feel my vocal coach rolling over in her grave....

i am struggling to find that other name, better than kacey

8:15 pm

The new "country" artists are the best---most of the real poetry lyrics now come from that genre. I am a big Stevie Nicks, Linda Ronstadt, Karla Bonoff fan....as I said, could go on and on.....

brandy clark@ and holly willima si great , too

8:15 pm

hi jilly

8:16 pm

Had not heard of them, TO---thanks!

check out 2013 women of country on NPR.org

and if you liek civil wars, you may like lone bellow

8:18 pm

The sister in Civil Wars reminds me so much of Allison Krause who has one of the most haunting voices I've every heard.

8:18 pm

It takes REAL talent to be that subtle.

do you also like lumineers?

allsion krause is just indescribable

8:20 pm

Like Norah Jones...simple and beautiful. Love Diana Krall as well...with the classic songs. Did you know she is married to Elvis Costello?

yes. i love him.

8:21 pm

Used to adore Vince Gill but don't hear him much anymore. There's also a song by Diamond Rio called "One More Day" that is one of the most touchingly beautiful I've every heard.

have you heard norah jones and billie joe armstrongs tribute to phil everly?

i am not a fan of commercial country. i like my music more stripeed down - roots

8:23 pm

No, TO---I'll now be all over that!

8:23 pm

TO, you MUST listen to Little Big Town and Lady Antebellum...the harmony is incredible.

8:23 pm

'evening, all

8:24 pm

Welki!!!

i have herd them. hi welk! did you see my fb post about clifton chenier's grammy?

8:24 pm

hi there welki!

8:25 pm

i did - and replied. thought i'd be able to see the presentation tonight, checked to see if i missed it - found out it had been given to his son yesterday

8:25 pm

The songs I sang on stage were a combo of Linda Ronstadt, Heart, Pat Benatar, Trisha Yearwood...and more...mixed it up pretty good!

8:26 pm

hi welki

8:26 pm

hi neighbors!

8:26 pm

Personally, I think Martina McBride has the best vocal range and tone I have EVER heard...including Streisand.

8:26 pm

I don't get the fascination with Lorde and "Royals"

8:27 pm

And for my money, Garth Brooks is the best entertainer who ever has been or ever could be.

her worl ethic is incredible and she put on one of the BEST shows we have ever had at our festical, across all categories. Nice person, too.

molly, i think it is because she is so young and the ever present backlash against the nouveau riche of rap and hip hop

yes. not newsworthy enough, welk. BTW i received a whole slew of real mardi gras photos from my LA friend last night. i hope you get to meet him.

8:31 pm

Wasn't I leaving? OK---really going now. Great discussion, though....love talking music. Hugs all around.

8:31 pm

okay...giving up...need clue for the ra6

bye mi mi and let me look, jilly

8:32 pm

Bye mimi (((hugs))

lewd or sexually tinged humor

8:33 pm

rhymes with the la6, Jilly.

8:33 pm

Could I have a clue for the al6 please?

8:34 pm

ty TO

8:34 pm

and nef

8:34 pm

think of a penny ar****, where you'd play games for a stuffed animal

8:35 pm

bye Mimi. It's fun reading about music I need to check out.

8:35 pm

g'night mimi

bye, mimi

8:36 pm

thanks, welki. I danced all around that one and never found it.

welk has mail

8:38 pm

<-----!!FW!!!

8:38 pm

this should be interesting, kristofferson, willie and haggard

8:38 pm

whooo hoooo Jilly

8:38 pm

YAY, Jilly!!! WTG!!!

8:39 pm

night night, mimi

saw willie earlier in 2013. not impressed.

YAY JILLY

8:42 pm

Saw Nelson and kristofferson in 1979...cannot imagine the years improving them...

8:43 pm

and ty all too!

8:43 pm

i saw kristofferson live, too back then - he shared the stage with john prine. was a great night

john prine. love.

8:44 pm

i love his duets with iris dement

i love iris dement. my ex HATED her first cd, and i think i gave it away

our town. but i do love her song about elvis

8:47 pm

she does take a little getting used to *lol*

I cannot sing in chog; i cannot make notes like Molly can :(

8:49 pm

if you have a windows based laptop/pc, i think there are alt/ctl keys to use. otherwise, you can always cut and paste

8:50 pm

♫♪¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪¸¸.•*¨\n*•♫♪

8:50 pm

shorten it, or you'll get that pesky \n

how did you do that?

8:52 pm

♫♪¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪ just highlight the notes, copy and paste

8:52 pm

♫♪¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪¸¸.•*¨\n*•♫♪

8:52 pm

or, better yet, ask molly for the keys to choose - i use a mac, and don't know the commands for notes

8:52 pm

or, better yet, ask molly for the keys to choose - i use a mac, and don't know the commands for notes

8:53 pm

i think you have a nicer selection with the key commands, too

8:53 pm

It worked for me too!

8:54 pm

anyway, off for the night - g'night everyone!

8:55 pm

niters welki...sweet sleeps

8:56 pm
