Greetings Friends

hi pug!

1:07 am

Hi Dee

1:07 am

Hi Pugs

1:08 am

Hi Liz

1:09 am

we a temp of 36 fe. at 2am :)

1:10 am

Warm by recent standards?

1:10 am

oh yes! like spring-lol

1:11 am

Such exaggeration!!! LOL

1:12 am

Half way - BBS

1:12 am

I think its been over a month since we've seen temps over 20's

1:13 am

later then Liz

definitely a cold, snowy winter... couldn't believe the whiteout we had this afternoon.

1:14 am

did you get the winter mix yesterday Dee

1:15 am

we had rain, snow and freezing rain--so its icy out but its melting too

Snow is much better than freezing precipitation... hate ice.

We are supposed to make a day trip to Indy on Thursday... hope the forecast is as warm as they say now.

1:16 am

I hate it too---I would choose the snow between the two

Agree!

1:17 am

I know this warm spell isnt to last long so Iam not sure about thursday

this grid went quickly until I hit 55 left... now I am at 46 left and at a standstill... I'll be using lickety early I think

1:27 am

hi everyone, just back from bridge

hi flosey!! Hope bridge went well!

1:27 am

Hi Flosey

1:28 am

Dee - would have to say it was fun - not in the top counters

:)

Glad I never got hooked on bridge - I fear I would have taken it much too seriously.

1:29 am

we did for quite a few years, went to lots of tournaments, but not lately

I have an uncle, who was a master player many years ago in Georgia.

His serious attitude toward bridge may be why I chose less competitive games :)

1:32 am

well, non of our kids play if that says anything

LOL...

1:33 am

one son diddles a bit online but never with real people, has played at our club with hubby when he visits - and they did come first

We played different forms of euchre - can talk and not pay attention, yet still do well. My hubby isn't a great card player, also probably why we never played bridge except for fun with my parents.

1:34 am

ah, now that is one the kids did play

wow... some intrinsic talent then

perhaps a generational thing, also

1:35 am

at HS, the grade 13s had a lounge, that's probably where they picked it up

I think I learned in our work lounge in the 70's. Everyone who played seemed to be having so much fun - lots of laughter.

1:38 am

we did that - we kept a dish of pennies in our desk, can't think of the name of the game

1:39 am

I didn't play cards until I met hubby, first learned cribbage

gin rummy

1:39 am

ah yes, that was it

I always wanted to learn that!

LOL my grandparents had a jar on their kitchen table; I think they played nightly after they retired... that brought back fond memories.

1:40 am

I couldn't tell you now, that was before we were married - coming up to 53 years

Wow!

1:47 am

almost as old as dirt, eh!

I'm not far behind, so I would never even hint at that!!

1:48 am

lol

1:51 am

Hi again

1:52 am

hi Liz

re - hi

1:52 am

re Hi Liz

fireworks

1:53 am

Congrats, Dee

1:53 am

well done Dee

1:53 am

congrats Dee

thks much!

Be sure to check out the chat, flosey - many great clues there.

1:54 am

I'll do that Dee, thanks

have fun!! See you all at the flip!!

1:55 am

bye Dee, take care

1:55 am

for sure, sweet sleep, Dee

1:55 am

Sleep well Dee

ty! Nite!

2:10 am

98 left but I've slowed right down now - and it all started so well! LOL!

2:11 am

cooee and g'day from me

2:12 am

Hi Rose - and how are you today?

2:12 am

Hugs and Hi Rose and congrats

2:13 am

{{hugs}} and hi and thanx, pugs. liz, not too bad actually. i have found getting on the bike after the physio helps a lot.*shrug* i know it doesn't make sense.

2:14 am

Makes sense to me - muscles looser?

2:14 am

and i have actually dropped my strong pain meds. by 1 tablet today. so all is good.

2:14 am

Fantastic!

2:15 am

its progress Rose--happy for you

2:15 am

hmmm, i think the cycling helps the muscles to quieten? and the stiffness is less, too.

2:15 am

very tired tonight, off to bed, goodnight all

2:15 am

Sleep well Flosey

2:15 am

night Flosey

2:15 am

awww, flosey. i hope you sleep well, hun.

2:15 am

All sounding good Rose - all progress is good!

2:20 am

Grrrr! Red boxes!

2:20 am

I have them too Liz

2:21 am

The site seems really unstable over the last few days.

2:21 am

it could be from all the weird weather

2:21 am

hello?? is it safe to come out now?

2:22 am

Who knows? I just know that like lots of other babblers, it's irritating.

2:22 am

Not the babblers!

2:22 am

are you there Rose

2:22 am

meant to say, like lots of other babblers, I find it irritating!

2:22 am

* waves * yes pugs

2:23 am

waves back-lol

2:24 am

have been reveling in the ice-dancing. and i saw our silver medalist in the men's aerial jump. he was amazing.

2:25 am

thats what Iam watching now

2:25 am

I've completely missed out on the Olympics - I love some of the events - ski jump, slalom, ice skating etc but hubby's not interested.

2:25 am

i sooo like it. it's amazing how in sync those skaters are.

2:26 am

oh, dear, liz. you need a second tv in your house.

2:26 am

Prefer ice skating to ice dancing - more acrobatic!

2:26 am

I know---some of them are so good and fun to watch

2:26 am

We have - but we just like to spend the evenings together! He puts up with me watching UK soccer, when my team plays!!!

2:26 am

I put up with him watching cricket!

2:26 am

ice skating...ice dancing...it is all somthing i will never be able to do now.

2:27 am

lol! I never could!

2:27 am

me either Liz

2:28 am

which reminds me...did i tell you all i found my ballet slippers?

2:28 am

I went ice skating twice or perhaps a bit more as a teen, and needed to wear supports to keep my balance!

2:28 am

They'll match your tutu!

2:28 am

I dont remember Rose

2:28 am

Good that you found them, though. I know that they mean a lot to you.

2:28 am

lolol, liz. those supports would be called the arms of your friends with you.

2:29 am

I cant even roller skate let alone ice skate

2:29 am

No! They had ankle supports - really the only way I could keep my balance. I'd've dragged friends down with me!!!

2:29 am

do they still fit Rose-lol

2:29 am

I can't roller skate either!

2:32 am

actually pugs, they do. guess your feet don't expand like your waist-line.

2:33 am

They do if you walk around bare foot most of the time :(

2:34 am

you should frame them and your tutu and put them in your music room

2:35 am

That's a lovely idea - or get them bronzed or similar and give them to Claudia - btw, did I tell you that I love the new photos of your grandkids?

2:39 am

thanx liz. i think they are kinda cute myself. i have washed the ribbons, ironed them and they are hanging in our bedroom. the tutu?? i'm taking it to a dry-cleaner to see if they can clean it. my mother had it stored incorrectly and the tulle has been flattened.

2:40 am

Hope they can restore it for you.

2:41 am

and i found a photo of myself in my first tutu. lol...i remember being so proud of it. i was 8 ye4s old.

2:41 am

Oh wow! That's awesome! Really something special to have and to show Claudia.

2:42 am

you should post it for us to see

2:42 am

All these wonderful things you're finding :)

2:42 am

okay, sounds like dinner is on it's way. hope i can catch you afterwards. xoxox. pugs, that is on my list of ' to do's '

2:42 am

Bon appétit, Rose. Catch you tomorrow, hopefully. Hugss.

2:42 am

okay Rose, enjoy

2:44 am

How are you doing with the grid, Pugs?

2:44 am

good morning all :)

2:44 am

Iam down to 106

2:44 am

Hi sprite :)

2:44 am

good morning Sprite--hugs

2:44 am

Good going there.

2:45 am

*hugs pugs and Liz* How are you today, my friends?

2:45 am

ty, Iam going to have to go to Lickety before long

2:45 am

Fine and happy to have the car back :)

2:45 am

ah good, Liz!

2:45 am

Iam good and how are you and how was yesterday

2:45 am

Also thinking about going to lickety soon.

2:46 am

oh good for you Liz!

2:46 am

yesterday was good. And I lost 2,4 kilo!

2:46 am

Got it at lunchtime today. It's driving so well, now.

2:46 am

Awesome, Sprite :)

2:46 am

so glad you are enjoyed the new car now, Liz

2:46 am

ALRIGHT! Sprite

2:47 am

so that makes it official, pug. When I eat 5 or 6 meals a day, I lose weight. When I skip meals, I don't. Isn't that weird?

2:47 am

Yes, though I've got to get used to it having less po 5 than our last one - need to use the gears more.

2:48 am

That's the principle of the diet from the gym I go to - eat 5 times a day.

2:48 am

no it isnt Sprite

2:48 am

when you eat that many times , you dont over do it at one setting

2:49 am

combine it with walking or cycling to help boost the metabolism, and you're well away there.

2:50 am

it is consistent with the Gabriel method. He says our bodies have two modes. Hibernation mode and active mode. Skipping meals often puts us in hibernation mode.

2:50 am

will do, Liz. Have had a couple of bad weeks after the flu, but really want to get it back on the road.

2:50 am

with sugar problems skipping is bad bad bad! You just going to have to make yourself take care of yourself

2:51 am

oh, using the gears will become second nature soon enough, Liz, once you are used to this car.

2:51 am

Hopefully you're beginning to get your strength back - that flu really dragged on.

2:51 am

True, sprite. I've always driven geared cars - it's just getting used to the different ratios when changing between gears.

2:52 am

It's a 1.3 engine as opposed to 1.5.

2:52 am

pug, darling, I know you are right! It's just that sometimes it seems too hard and I don't care enough. Some days I am just too darned tired to care.

2:52 am

ah, that makes a difference for sure, Liz.

2:53 am

OK - time for dinner here - 79 left and I guess I'll be looking at lickety later this evening. Enjoy your days and hugs :)

2:53 am

bye Liz *hugs*

2:53 am

on the days you feel good make things ahead that will be easy for you to just grab--maybe that will help somewhat

2:53 am

bye and hugs Liz

2:54 am

that is a good idea. I should really make a list of easy snacks and meals and prepare for them.

2:55 am

good morning

2:55 am

{{sprite}}

2:55 am

as you keep losing and do as you should, I would think you will start feeling better about yourself

2:56 am

{{little pugs}}

2:56 am

hey ruby *hug* How are you today?

2:56 am

Morning Ruby, hugs

2:56 am

I have to say, pug, those 2,4k gave me a boost.

2:56 am

I'm in the process of training Raffie not to be so timid so for the 4th day, I walked her while B was walking Rufie. She is an angel-dog!

2:57 am

awesome, ruby! And so good for you to have walks as well.

2:57 am

|It is probably good for me, too, but it is hard work and a very brisk walk

2:57 am

making real progress Ruby, yay for you

2:57 am

snap, sprite

2:58 am

You should feel good Sprite, you are doing good and Iam so happy for you--heres a big gold star--lol

2:58 am

hehehe :)

2:58 am

apero is not valid, ruby! Isn't that evil?

2:59 am

thanks pug :D Your support means a lot to me.

2:59 am

it is at my house andb is already having his!

3:00 am

wow that is early

3:01 am

Hr is a mess and very depressed, so I can't really say no. He is sitting in front of the fire with his Campari and will probably take a nap before lunch

3:01 am

its so slick outside my poor dogs was having a hard time going out to do their jobs

3:01 am

my girl is ill :( Yesterday too. Have her at home and she sleeps a lot.

3:02 am

did she catch the flu

3:02 am

no reason not to let him have it, indeed, ruby. If it relaxes him, it is worth it.

3:02 am

Does Caya have "your" flu?

3:03 am

I think so, pug, though she has no fever. But she is tired, looks like a little racoon and feels awful.

3:03 am

think so, ruby

3:03 am

derp is not a word??

3:03 am

the rest will be good for her

3:04 am

and she'll have a day with her mom fussing over her, also good!

3:04 am

hehehe true!

3:04 am

I hope she gets well before her party

3:05 am

oh dear, yes, had not even thought of that. Well, almost a week... let's hope so.

3:06 am

she will!

3:07 am

I will tell her she will be ok, because ruby said so!

3:07 am

That flu doesnt leave very quickly--so I hope so too for you guys

3:08 am

I hope you dont re get too--:(

3:08 am

good grief, no.

3:08 am

Ruby send over your magical powers

3:09 am

if it is the same flu, sprite, I don't think you can get it again

3:09 am

abracadabra!!!!

3:10 am

I think you are right, ruby. I have heard that you make antibodies for each flu or other virus you get and won't become ill from the exact same one again.

3:10 am

of course, over the years most flu viruses mutate enough to count as new, lol

3:11 am

but since you just had it, you self-innoculated

3:12 am

I think so too. Stupid bugs.

3:12 am

she's the last in your family to get it isnt she

3:13 am

yes indeed

3:13 am

well maybe this will be the end of it for all of you

3:15 am

amen to that, pug

3:15 am

ditto

3:15 am

thanks :)

3:15 am

the power of babble... how can I lose?

3:17 am

I need some coffee, brb

3:19 am

see you later, red-haired cutie!

3:19 am

bye ruby *hugs*

3:20 am

not you, sprite, I'm still here. That was for Miss Pugs of the red hair. Y|ou have glossy dark hair, you lucky gal!

3:21 am

hehehe ok, thought you were leaving too. Glad you can hang around abit longer

3:22 am

that's because I'm "paying bills"/ NOT lol

3:23 am

oh yeah, I know that feeling. Procrastinating... putting off... doing something else first unti time runs out...

3:23 am

Hi all

3:23 am

hi Jack

3:24 am

Hi sprite, it's been a while ... how are you?

3:24 am

Hi, Jakca

3:24 am

close, but no cigar

3:24 am

Hi ruby

3:24 am

am good, Jack, thanks, and you?

3:24 am

close enough!

3:25 am

Iam back and Hi Jack

3:25 am

Hi to you pug too

3:25 am

3:27 am

3:28 am

I made a huge pot of chilli just incase we lost our electric so now I got enough for several days-lol

3:29 am

great pug! That saves a lot of work.

3:30 am

with the storm yesterday I was afraid we might so I wanted to be sure to have something on hand that could just be heated up

3:30 am

very smart

3:31 am

we are above freezing this morning but it is very slick out with the top melting its making a icy layer on top of the snow

3:31 am

don't fall, sprite!

3:32 am

rewilt

3:32 am

sorry

3:32 am

and somebody's pup is in here!

3:33 am

if you are going to do that Ruby give up a counting word--lol

3:34 am

ooh, just realized I passed haf but still neither nbt or nbs

3:34 am

I know, thats why I asked

3:44 am

I dont object, feel free to clue for ruby

3:44 am

hahah

3:45 am

I'm rushed because this afternoon is chock-a-block

3:46 am

what is chock-a-block?

3:46 am

I was going to ask the same thing

3:46 am

full, busy

3:46 am

dumb slang

3:47 am

It means a full schedule very busy timetable etc.

3:47 am

maybe old-fashioned?

3:47 am

{{zzoozz}}

3:47 am

HI Zoom

3:47 am

hi zooz :) Thanks, makes sense.

3:47 am

And hello fellow babblers :-)

3:48 am

Hi zooz

3:48 am

brb

3:49 am

okay Sprite

3:50 am

99 left and must go

3:50 am

bye everybody

3:50 am

Toodle pips, Ruby :-)

3:51 am

bye Ruby, enjoy your day

3:51 am

Hows Mr Zoom today

3:51 am

Very well thanks..How about you?

3:52 am

Iam fine as well

3:52 am

back :) Bye ruby, have a good one

3:52 am

lovely to see you, zoozs

3:53 am

That is good to hear, Pugs :-)

3:53 am

You too, Spritey...how is it going for you?

3:54 am

not bad, zooz. Lost 2,4 kilo last week :)

3:55 am

Well done although did not know you were trying to lose weight...or was it because of the flu virus you had?

3:56 am

am in therapy for my eating disorder. I am very obese and losing weight would really be good, for the diabetes and high blood pressure and cholestorole and all.

3:57 am

Then you are doing well!...keep it going.

3:58 am

thank you :) Intend to... am glad I am finally starting to really lose weight.

4:00 am

I hear at first the weight seems to come off in chunks but as time goes on it tapers off..so do not lose heart..just keep at it.

4:01 am

will do, thank you :)

4:05 am

I found another 8

4:05 am

Good going!

please could i have a clue for the 9

4:06 am

hi Jjenny :)

4:07 am

re9 = to place again, or put in the bank again

good morning sprite - I too am trying to loose weight but finding it very difficult possibly because I am very crippled at the moment and cant do any exercise.

thanks for the 9 Sprite

4:09 am

oh same for me, Jjenny, am handicapped and can't move around much. What I am learning now is to eat healthy, and then 6 times a day. Three regular meals and 3 healthy snacks in between.

4:09 am

Thanks for the 9

4:09 am

that way you convince your body there will always be enough fuel and it will start letting go of excess fat.

4:09 am

yvw both

4:09 am

what is crippling you, Jjenny?

Right I WILL try that Sprite

4:10 am

also important: to sleep enough and to drink enough.

I have poly myalgia rhuematica which makes all my muscles ache and Arthritis in my hips and knees

I really don't sleep very well because I get so uncomfortable after a couple of hours

4:11 am

oh, that sounds so painful :( Am so sorry.

I try not to complain but sometimes it is difficult!! The treatment for PMR is steroids but last time I took them I was very ill afterwards

4:15 am

I hope you feel free to vent here now and then... venting is not complaining :) Steroids are heavy stuff... sorry to hear you get ill from them.

4:16 am

Iam with Sprite, Jenny--it helps just venting sometimes

I don't really know if the steroids caused it but I had a large pulmonary embolism and if it hadn't been for the paramedic arriving at our house in 3 minutes i would have died

4:16 am

puglet is the one who told me venting is not the same as complaining :)

4:17 am

that is scary, Jjenny. I can understand you are rather skittish to try that again.

4:17 am

do you live alone Jenny

4:18 am

loew

Sprite did you get to talk to your lady doctor about after she leaves

4:23 am

no not yet, pug. Was thinking to let her get the first wave of reactions out of the way. Might write her an email today.

4:24 am

for you sake I hope you find some way to keep her in your life

4:25 am

I probably will, lol. But not as a therapist. She is going to work together with the psychiatrist who does the Family Constellations. And I will keep on attending those.

4:29 am

10:59 am

wow, you must live in a different state from me if you can be right back from the DMV! It's at least a half-day excursion here.

10:59 am

Same here Sue, going to the DMV is a nightmare. We do have an express place though for the simpler things.

10:59 am

just up the street from me and if i hurry i will beat the lunch crowd!

11:00 am

we don't have an express place but there is a shorter line for things like license plate stickers

11:00 am

ah.. thanks for the de7

11:00 am

Fortunately, I can do most of my DMV dealings by mail.

11:01 am

DMV. Never going there again. The place gave me the creepy crawlies

Cheers Peri. Time to put the shovel down.

11:07 am

Molly, you icon is very true, it is very rude.

11:08 am

and people might think twice if they are charged more for being on the phone when at the counter

11:08 am

We had a big gripe session about people and their cell phones yesterday at lunch. A friend sent that to me.

11:08 am

hopefully this is the last snow

11:09 am

1/2 way...stumped and stopped

11:09 am

What gets me is the couple, out to dinner at a restaurant, who sit there madly typing on their phones and not talking to each other.

11:09 am

that is sad, Molls

11:10 am

or a group of kids sitting together and ignoring each other in deference to their texting

something is very wrong with de5 but none of the adults know

Whoever cast Tim Curry as Pennywise was a genius

12:14 pm

OMG he scared the bejesus outta me in that movie!!

12:15 pm

heard on NPR this morning that there's a clown shortage . . . may the numbers continue to decline!!

12:15 pm

Oh God, not another one scared of clowns.

12:15 pm

I've disliked clowns since I was little kid, but some people are actually phobic

12:16 pm

I think the scared people are all in movies

12:16 pm

I'm scared of cell phones lol

12:16 pm

Oh no, I know two people who are terrified of clowns.

12:17 pm

funny thing, molly -- my daughter (who's now 37) was little, a friend, that she adored, dressed up as a clown and came to over to my mom's where we were visiting -- she took one look at him and went into hysterical crying!

12:17 pm

really?

12:17 pm

he had to rip off the wig, nose, etc. to calm her down LOL

12:17 pm

http://tinyurl.com/ls9vn6m

12:18 pm

Only 2500 registered clowns worldwide. who knew

12:19 pm

and the numbers are dwindling . . . tick tick tick . . . (yay!)

12:19 pm

that's a very small number; I'm surprised. But maybe it's the unregistered ones who are the villains

12:19 pm

older generastions dying out ansd the younger people dont want to become clowns. makes sense

12:19 pm

ruby! LOL

12:20 pm

which are worse, clowns or mimes?

12:20 pm

LOL!!

12:20 pm

at least mimes aren't scary

12:21 pm

creepy, though. My son has a friend who went to university with him who is a fire-eater at "faires"

12:22 pm

Clowns get a bad rap. All they want to do is make people laugh and people go around being scared of them. MIMES ARE SCARY AS HELL.

12:22 pm

interesting, molly -- i feel just the opposite

12:23 pm

i associate clowns with circuses . . . and i've always disliked circuses

12:24 pm

except the cirque de soleil variety ;-)

12:25 pm

Last Re7,32 -- PLEASE!!!!

12:26 pm

my last one rhymes with the act of putting money in a bank

12:27 pm

That's the penultimate one

12:27 pm

I'm not a big fan of the circus either. French or otherwise.

12:28 pm

Re plus po 5/12

6:02 pm

WTG Liz, night and tc

6:02 pm

Hi Peri

6:03 pm

Hello periwinkle! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

6:04 pm

hi Min, I am good and you?

6:13 pm

n

6:25 pm

I am well. I just did "What Dog Breed Are You" quiz and I'm a Golden Retriever. I do not agree with results of this quiz.

6:50 pm

Hello LuvB! How are you doing today? Welcome to the grid

6:50 pm

Goldens are very nice dogs. I have a friend for whom Goldens are her favorite breed.

6:52 pm

hello. Thanks. I am good and you

6:53 pm

What kind of dog do you think you are Min?

6:55 pm

I don't know, but I am definitely NOT a Golden Retriever. I was hoping I would be the same as my dog, a King Charles.

6:56 pm

Hi Gmere. i love Golden retrievers, we had one and they are kind, loving and sweet

6:57 pm

That is why I think the quiz put Min in the Golden group. She is loving, kind and sweet ♥

6:57 pm

They are very soft natured, so how do you class yourself then Minver?

6:58 pm

Here the results of that quiz I took:"Laid-back, sociable and well-groomed, you've got your own hip little pack of groupies who just love to be around you. You have a brain inside that adorable head of yours,though you use it mostly to organize your hectic social calendar. You never poop out at parties, and since you're popular with ladies and men, as well as children and adults, you dish out your wit,charm & luck to whomever is close enough to bask in it.The top dog likes you and wants to be your best friend, despite the fact that he doesn't really know what the heck you do. No one does, in fact, but everyone loves you all the same.A true foodie, you have got your keen ears fine-tuned to make sure you do not miss out on the opening of a trendy new place to nosh. But your youthful days of being able to wolf down food 24-7 are wagging behind you, meaning you have got to watch what you eat so you do not pull a Brando and outgrow your coats.

6:59 pm

My dog is also loving, kind and sweet.I prefer smaller dogs.

6:59 pm

So just watch the extra desserts 24 7 and you're good Min.

6:59 pm

I love Golden Retrievers. I think being classified as "like them" is a compliment.

6:59 pm

Other famous Golden Retrievers are Bono, Julia Roberts, Robert Redford and Joe Montana.

7:00 pm

that definitely sounds like a Golden Retriever

7:00 pm

I grew up with Golden Retrievers.My parents love them too

7:01 pm

Min wants to be Jack. : D

7:01 pm

I just Had to laugh at the hectic social calendar part of my results. My hectic social calendar is me being in Babbleland

7:02 pm

So, what's the problem MIn.At the end of the day, these things are fun, not to be taken literally!! :)

7:03 pm

So is mine sadly Min :)

7:04 pm

Apparently we are supposed to look like our dogs...i never looked like any of mine...well, apart from when i had a perm, so i could have looked like a poodle!! :D

7:04 pm

hello 130 to go

7:05 pm

<-----What Molly yappy and nip people's heels

7:07 pm

Hello harpjane! How are you doing? Welcome to the chog.

7:08 pm

By the way, i have nowt against Jack Russels.i was going to adopt one after i had him for a night as he walking the street and he didn't have a collar on and he peed on my bed and i took him to the local police station the next day and his family claimed him, which was lovely but he needed to be chipped as he apparently got loose often

7:09 pm

No L, not Jack Russel. Jack is Min's dog.

7:10 pm

oh!!..lol...just seen a pic...a King Charles Spaniel?

7:10 pm

do5/20?

7:11 pm

Min, where is this dog quiz?

7:12 pm

Harp, to provide money to a spouse, or sounds like 60 minutes

7:13 pm

do 5/20 word rhymes with pretty blooming plant in Spring.

7:13 pm

Could be worse Min, you could have been a bulldog. : D

7:13 pm

The dog breed quiz is at the following link:

7:14 pm

http://www.dogster.com/quizzes/what_do\ng_breed_are_you/

7:14 pm

SHOOT! I messed up the chat log! I am SO SO SORRY!!!!!!

7:15 pm

drooling dogs are never good but they are muscular and loving

7:15 pm

OH. Min broke the chog!! :D

7:15 pm

There is another one at this website too. I just found it.

7:15 pm

http://www.quizmeme.com/dogbreed/quiz.\nphp

7:15 pm

Sorry, Min, it was my fault for asking

7:16 pm

And then she broke it again.

7:16 pm

i know...lol

7:16 pm

There should be a link to tinyurl.com here

7:17 pm

i agree

7:17 pm

ty Min, i will look them up when i've finished here.i am probably a Jack Russel :)

7:18 pm

I just took the other quiz at second link I posted. According to that one I am a Pharoah Hound, but there is no write-up of results.

7:19 pm

It was only a 4 question quiz. Didn't like it as much as 1st one

7:21 pm

I need to google a Pharaoh Hound

7:23 pm

Similar to a Greyhound apart from the ears..i can see why they are called Pharaoh though

7:27 pm

I just took another dog quiz at Brainfall.com. Here are my results:

7:28 pm

You are a St. Bernard. You are a diligent worker. You are the one that usually takes on the tougher of jobs. Combined with your courage, you are a remarkably admirable companion.

7:30 pm

My Husban's ex has 2 St Bernards.Or she did, i know they got a puppy who was as big as a horse but hat was about 5 years ago.I'd like one of them, they could pull me around in my chair and so we both get out:)

7:31 pm

I should have quit while I was ahead. Quizfarm.com says I am a chihuahua!

7:33 pm

I would quit now MIn.At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what breed of dog you are, as to us here you are a lovely, warm hearted giving person:)

7:33 pm

And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming. And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted---nevermore!And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming.

Glad to hear it Sue:)

Oh, for sure I have spent much time contemplating the back of a fireplace or of a medieval open hearth.

8:56 pm

another strange-looking word is the de5/20, which is a container for cryogenic liquids (like liquid nitrogen)

8:57 pm

An opinion that no doubt enhances the process of bonding so important to a good result.

9:08 pm

he is 14 and he and his father have an up and down relationship. He loves him but is frightened of him at the same time, so lots of tension

yeah, that is a bad double, isn't it? my kids were the same re their dad.

11:53 pm

he is a good kid and he KNOWS his mother loves him so he is protected
