1:03 am

wr7

red boxes :(

1:08 am

here too Dee

wish they would put off reboot at least one more hour :)

last 8 is ba 8

1:14 am

I have all the ws...

wtg my missing w was the plural geesh

1:16 am

Hint on the ba8?.

here is the def a closely woven fabric of silk, rayon, cotton, or wool, having a pebbled surface. I have never seen it before... starts with pub + 1st vowel + beginning of a movie place

1:18 am

Thanks see

1:19 am

Dee...

yqw

1:19 am

See is dee..In auto correct

funny

guess it is better than pee LOL

1:23 am

I am crashing ..had to get up at 5 this morning

how did the vet appt go?

1:25 am

Good..they are giving her different pain medication that will keep her comfortable

great!

1:26 am

Yeah.. my wife was elated. ..that dog is the sweetest dog

really makes it tough when they age and start having issues... I am sure it is heartbreaking

1:28 am

Yes..but she is doing really well for 14...I have been through it with my Monty...

glad for helpful report and meds, I am sure

1:29 am

Yep..

fireworks... tough grid

1:29 am

Mrs and I are getting along better too

Glad to hear!!!

1:30 am

I knew eventually it would get better

How did you know?

1:31 am

Because we are good friends and we do love and care for each other

1:32 am

We just can't live together any longer

Maybe you should just buy a house with two apartments :)

1:34 am

She proposed that once ...lol

1:35 am

I don't think that would work though

a lot of years invested, not to at least consider it... being alone in old age is pretty tough :)

especially if you don't hate each other... that is pretty unique

1:37 am

My servant days are over though..

understandable

1:39 am

Congrats and good night dee...

ty, ru... rest well, congrats on the good news at the vet's *poof*

1:46 am

back again - nothing like a bat in the house to wake one up again!

1:47 am

was it dracula visiting? LOL

1:47 am

Yikes Flosey! How did you get it out?

1:47 am

Hi flosey - how's the cold?

1:47 am

Hubby is certain he got it out but I still can't settle down - will search for a few more words and get it out of my head

1:47 am

lol pugs, might as well be eh!

1:48 am

Hi bugs and dianne

1:48 am

cold is pretty well gone thanks, time to get back to normal

1:48 am

and hi to everyone here in the middle of the night

1:50 am

FWs

1:50 am

bugs, hubby turned on all the outside lights, off inside, opened the doors and it must have been attracted to lights outside

1:51 am

clever move on his part. anything that flies seems to land and poop on every surface in the place before it finds its way out

1:52 am

I just found it hard to settle down to sleep - had been feeling sleepy. I'll take a better look around in the morning to make sure there isn't any 'remnants' left behind

1:53 am

**aren't

1:53 am

shouldn't change thought midstream

1:53 am

2:51 am

3:00 am

Hope you are better, puglet. I am leaving.

3:01 am

Hi pug - IHow are you feeling?

3:01 am

Hi OO, thank you and I do feel a bit better--take care and have a good day

3:02 am

Iam doing better Dianne, thank you

3:04 am

brb, need more coffee

there are ur* words here as medical terms that aren't babbled... this annoys me

oh right... nevermind my mind was reversing other letters to make them legit in my minds eye

derp

just keep balling lol

4:06 am

good morning all :)

4:06 am

good morning Sprite :)

4:07 am

*hugs pugs* Gotten over the shock a bit, my darling?

4:07 am

I have

4:08 am

am glad. thought of you so much.

4:09 am

I go to another doctor for that tuesday

4:09 am

ah good, that is pretty soon

4:10 am

that place on my arm was bleeding so bad yesterday I thought I was going to have to go back. After five hours it finely clotted

4:11 am

oh darling :( That is so long! Make sure you drink plenty today and rest, you hear? Sounds like you lost quite a lot of blood.

4:11 am

I was only home for a wee bit and that clinic called saying the surgeon had sent over my records and wanted me seen as soon as possible

4:12 am

that means it is pretty serious, honey. I wish it wasn't. But since it is, I am glad they put a move on things.

4:12 am

I know--I couldnt get it to stop--it soaked clear through the stuff they wrapped it with, my blouse and coat---I hope I can get it out of my jacket

4:12 am

Oh my pug p did you cut yourself?

4:13 am

yeah me too

4:13 am

hi Dianne

4:14 am

No Di, I had cysts on parts of my body finding out I got diabetes and they operated on them

4:14 am

Hi sprite - how are you and your family?

4:14 am

we are all well, thanks Dianne :) How are you and yours?

4:15 am

Oh pug so sorry to hear of this trouble. I knew your sister has diabetes but I didn't realize that you are also diabetic. I hope all will be all right/

4:16 am

I didnt know I was either until yesterday

4:16 am

things should get better from here on, at least, pugs. Now that you know what is what and are getting treatment.

4:16 am

sprite - we are good, busy working and making the ends meet :)

4:16 am

good job, Dianne :)

4:17 am

Pug - that must have come as quite a shock.

4:17 am

I need to eat but I just cant seem to

4:17 am

it was--I had no signs I did

4:18 am

god I know that feeling, pugs. Remember what you tell me when I have that feeling? To eat a little bit, just to keep the sugar lvl ok?

4:18 am

Wow - and you certainly know what signs to look for.

4:18 am

yeah I know

4:19 am

it was the same with me, Dianne. No signs. Just going to the doctor for something else, having bloodwork done, and tadaaaa we have a surprise for you.

4:19 am

I wasent thirsty or nothing like that but I have lost about 80 pounds(which Iam not sorry)

4:19 am

but that is a LOT of weight loss, darling.

4:19 am

What type of clinic do you need to go to?

4:20 am

Its a new one they just put in about a year ago

4:20 am

To deal with the diabetes?

4:20 am

now I got loose flab--lol

4:21 am

yes Di--thats where the surgeon has sent me

4:21 am

good morning

4:21 am

never mind the loose flab, darling. You are fine the way you are. Now only focus on getting healthy again.

4:21 am

{{pugs}}

4:21 am

HI Ruby dear

4:22 am

hi ruby :) How was your outing?

4:22 am

Iam feeling better--the fever has gone now to get rid of the infection

4:22 am

Pug - you certainly have alot on yur plate lately. I wish you only the best.

4:22 am

thank you Di

4:22 am

am so glad, pug. Much better without the fever and a good sign too.

4:23 am

did you get my mail about Carol? She wont get out for another 3 or 4 days

4:24 am

I had fun on the outing, but the movie was too complicated and, of course, in French, that I fell asleep for about half of it

4:24 am

yes I did, only it got overshadowed by your mail about your health, sweetie. Sorry. Am really sorry for your friend as well.

4:24 am

pugs, if you can stand it, eat some liver to make you stronger

4:24 am

hahaha ruby, well at least you got a nice nap!

4:24 am

well at least you got out Ruby and got a nice nap too-lol

4:24 am

and the sushi was pretty good

4:25 am

I like liver, so I will

4:25 am

I am walking around really tired -- maybe because I am doing so much more

4:25 am

french for tree is not valid, just to let you know

4:26 am

I hated livr the way my mother made it (was like shoe leather), but once I learned to cook it briefly and with fried onions, I have come to love it

4:26 am

good food, good company and a good nap, ruby... sounds like you came out winning on all counts.

4:26 am

what is a french tree

4:26 am

and baby dog, when she sees a cat, is barely manageable for me, so I am really working the whole walk

4:26 am

thats how I like it too Ruby

4:26 am

arbre

4:26 am

arbre = tree

4:26 am

ty

4:28 am

although my Fr is pretty good, when more than one person speaks at the same time (like in movies or TV), I get lost

4:28 am

I simply can't stand liver, unless it is not fried but cooked, and sliced thin, as bread topping.

4:28 am

I dont know what happen to Rose--she came on at flip and said hi and that she will be back after getting her words and she just left

4:28 am

don't worry about it, ruby, just be happy with all the good stuff.

4:28 am

I like beef or chicken liver

4:29 am

all that talk about food made me hungry - got carrot sicks and olives to munch on.

4:29 am

ah, real life interfered in some form, no doubt, pugs. Squirrel, meds, pyjama, visitors, sex... you know rose.

4:29 am

a nice healthy snack--lol

4:29 am

lol Dianne! Enjoy!

4:30 am

It is a healthy snack - but the blue cheese dip?

4:30 am

am having 2 apples for breakfast here, with some crackers.

4:30 am

I dip my carrots in Boursin

4:30 am

how did it go yesterday Sprite? Did you get the things done you wanted to do

4:31 am

balance in all, Dianne. If you have a healthy snack, you need the balance of a blue cheese dip

4:31 am

I did, pug, and I rested a lot, with my feet up. Most of the day, to be honest. And lo and behold, I have ankles today!

4:32 am

ALRIGHT! thats good Sprite

4:33 am

I love boursin

4:33 am

I dont know what that is

4:34 am

it is a soft cheese with garlic and herbs. Very tasty.

4:34 am

it's a soft, mild chees with garlic and herbs

4:34 am

snap, sprite

4:34 am

sounds good

4:34 am

roflol :D

4:34 am

and there's a type "cuisinier" which is perfect for dipping

4:35 am

oh, indeed, the one for cooking. Also very yummy.

4:37 am

one of my favorite quick dishes: cook pasta. Meanwhile, fry chopped bacon, add chopped leek, when the leek is soft enough, turn down the heat and add boursin (or any soft garlicky cheese), stir. Serve over the pasta. Tadaa, done. And sooo good.

4:38 am

sounds good Sprite

4:39 am

ooh, quick 50 and off to lunch at Sprite's place. Picking mint for the bartender

4:39 am

{{big hugs everybody}}

4:39 am

enjoy your lunch, ruby

4:39 am

hugs and enjoy Ruby

4:40 am

we have already had two thunderstorms this morning and the air smells so good and fresh

4:40 am

I have never, ever used one of the ep words !

4:40 am

that is lovely, pugs. Nothing like the world after a thunderstorm.

4:40 am

*hunting for ep words now*

4:41 am

babble has allot of words Ive never use nor probablly ever will

4:41 am

I heard and saw (Animal Planet) that bears can smell rain from quite a distance.

4:41 am

*giggles* Those are great words for parties though.

4:42 am

wow, didn't know that, Dianne

4:42 am

thats amazing Di

4:43 am

everyday on babble I learn new words so its like a english class--lol

4:44 am

I learn them too, pug, but mostly forget them in a few days.

4:44 am

not that I will remember them two days from now-lol

4:44 am

"While walking down the beach, ywis, I spotted an inia. Riding home with my sonsie wife, we saw some anoas. We traversed a haha on the final stretch home. And, how was your day?"

4:46 am

Into the PB for you sprite.

4:46 am

omg, lol! Sorry about that! Had not seen it.

4:47 am

giggle, giggle

4:47 am

that's what I get for showing off :D

4:48 am

I dont mind you showing off-go right on --lol

4:48 am

lol :D

4:49 am

flosey had a bat in her house and I asked her if dracula was paying her a visit-lol

4:49 am

lolllll! What did she say?

4:49 am

she laughed

4:50 am

could she get it out?

4:50 am

her hubby did---she didnt say how it got in though

4:51 am

I wonder where she hid while he was taking care of it.

4:51 am

open window maybe. I like bats, to be honest. But not in my house.

4:51 am

lol, I dont know Di

4:51 am

in the toilet with the do4 locked, lol

4:51 am

I think she said he turned off the house lights and opened the door

4:52 am

I dont think we have ever had any in the house

4:53 am

oh, my pretty bluebirds are back making a nest in their little birdhouse

4:54 am

that is great!

4:55 am

they are so pretty----and I got teeny tiny leaves sprouting out on the lilac bushes so its spring time at last

4:56 am

good things to hold on to in all this turmoil, pugs

4:56 am

I enjoy springtime myself

4:57 am

hows you weather Sprite

4:58 am

pretty good today. I see a bit of blue sky, the sun is out and it is not raining.

4:58 am

is it spring there too

4:59 am

oh yes, blossoming trees and all, pugs

4:59 am

is your country's tulip in bloom yet

5:00 am

it is a bit early still for tulips

5:03 am

I bet that is so pretty to see all those flowers bloomed out

5:03 am

and there we are again, past the hiccup

5:04 am

at least it didnt last so long this morning

5:04 am

what exciting stuff are you doing today

5:04 am

lolllll yeah my life is SO exciting!

5:05 am

have you got any ideals on how I might get that blood out of my white jacket

5:05 am

well much more then mine

5:06 am

let me think... babble now. With breakfast. Then laundry. Already did the kitchen. Maybe prepare some stuff for dinner. Rest some with my feet up. Walk Terra. And maybe get Win7 for my computer.

5:06 am

cold water and lots and lots of it, pugs.

5:06 am

also... let me find what it is called in english.

5:06 am

oh you got W7---yeah for you

5:07 am

ox gal soap? Does that ring a bell?

5:08 am

theres so much of it Iam worried about getting it out--got my jacket, blouse and two gowns

5:08 am

yes---I got some of that

5:08 am

thanks

5:08 am

this one: http://tinyurl.com/nd5a2of

5:09 am

I saw such an interesting program on the Tulip Mania of the 1630's. The early "stock market".

5:09 am

okay, thanks

5:09 am

first, rinse with cold running water until no more blood comes out. Then treat with the soap, let soak in for a bit, rinse. Repeat until the stains are gone.

5:09 am

sounds interesting indeed, Dianne

5:10 am

ox bile/gal soap is great with fat and blood stains.

5:10 am

will do Sprite--tyvm

5:10 am

yvw pugs

5:11 am

lol--it was bleed so bad and through everything I finelly took a femine pad and taped it on my arm--I didnt know what else to use

5:12 am

oh that is so smart! Good thinking!

5:12 am

I forgot the ing on bleed

5:13 am

hehehe no worries, it was clear what you meant

5:14 am

shouldn't you call the clinic and tell them how bad it has been bleeding?

5:15 am

if it hadent clotted I would have had to

5:15 am

yeah but maybe they know something better than just drink a lot of fluids and rest...

5:15 am

bleeding for 5 hours is wayyyy too much, honey.

5:16 am

but I thought if was good to let the infection bleed out and its right in the muscle of my arm so everytime I moved it--it just poured

5:16 am

I think you are right about it being good for clearing out the infection. But it is severe blood loss.

5:16 am

I must say I was getting a tad worried about it

5:17 am

just give them a call, please, pugs. Ask them if they have any advice on this. Tell them how lightheaded you felt yesterday too.

5:18 am

well its not bleeding now and it has clotted so I think Iam okay but if it starts back I most certainly will do so

5:19 am

not about the bleeding, but about the blood loss. I am a bit worried that it was too much. Since you are already weak and the infection has undermined your health, as has the diabetes. Would you call them for my peace of mind?

5:20 am

okay, will do when they open

5:20 am

I know for sure that they didn't know it would bleed so badly, or they wouldn't have let you go, pugs

5:20 am

great :) Please let me know what they say.

5:21 am

okay I will--and please dont worry for Iam fine right now

5:22 am

I sure do worry, sweetie, lol. Won't stop until you are all balanced out again, with sugar levels and no infections and feeling stronger.

5:22 am

He told me before I left that my blood was very thick--it sure didnt seem like it to me-lol

5:22 am

lol! All the more reason to tell them what happened. They need to have all the facts to help you properly.

5:23 am

since my fever has left the infection must be leaving as well

5:23 am

yes, for sure. So glad of that.

5:24 am

I should know alot more after tuesday

5:24 am

am doing so well here myself, pugs. With the eating, I mean. No binges at all. Sometimes still skipping an eating moment, but overall doing great.

5:24 am

Iam so hoping I dont have to take shots

5:24 am

if you have questions for that specialist, pugs, write them down... so easy to forget once you are sitting there.

5:25 am

yes you are Sprite and Iam so happy for you too

5:25 am

thanks :)

5:25 am

I never thought of that--ty and I will

5:25 am

you braved all this cutting and lots of shots already... even if you need more, you will be fine

5:26 am

I mean insulin for the sugar

5:26 am

fireflies

5:26 am

you are so smart and good

5:26 am

oh! Sorry, so dense of me. No, I hope not either. I hope they will start you off on meds and see how that goes.

5:27 am

me too Sprite

5:27 am

smart, maybe, lol. Good... nah. Good enough, I hope. *hugs*

5:28 am

I wish and hope you have a very good day--hugs and love and all thats good for you today and tonight

5:28 am

will be thinking of you, dear pugs. Take care of yourself, ok? *hugs* And to you and all a blessed day and a peaceful night.

5:29 am

6:59 am

hello everybody from the land of flowers! Everything is popping and we have more shades of green than Ireland, just in my own garden

6:59 am

Are you that much warmer than here ruby?

7:00 am

we just didn't have a real winter, so many things never even lost their leaves from last year

7:01 am

It never got below -1C (30F or so)

7:01 am

You're not that far from Albertville

7:02 am

no, about 1/2 hour

7:02 am

Did they get snow?

7:03 am

it depends on the altitude because when we got rain, peope 500 ft above us got snow

7:08 am

It must be beautiful where you live. If only we could visit

7:08 am

time to refuel the brain cells bbl

7:08 am

Hi Scrabs!

7:17 am

Annie, please pray for Ben (google Blue4Ben) a 4 yr old identical twin with end-stage brain cancer, and Aaron an 11 yr old just diagnosed with leukemia.

7:17 am

Car, I love that pic of you as a young girl with your 2 kitties.

7:18 am

:( I will pray for them both Scrabs.

7:18 am

TY! One of my favorite pics of me!

7:18 am

Hi Scrabs, that's bad news

7:18 am

What were those kitty's names?

7:18 am

that must be a terribly heavy weight for you to carry, scrabs

7:19 am

Children with leukemia can be treated, right?

7:19 am

One of them was Gypsy Rose I believe, but I have no idea what the other one was. We had a LOT of cats when I was growing up.

7:19 am

Yes, Bichon, I am always saddened to learn of suffering kids and their parents and sibs.

7:19 am

Scrabbs, Oh dear, they are added to the list.I still pray for Nathaniel and Levi.

7:20 am

Dara remains in remission. Levi's struggle with muscular dystrophy has barely begun at age 4.

7:20 am

Bichon, the cure rate for childhood leukemia is upwards of 80% or more, depending on the specific type.

7:21 am

Everyone suffers when a child is gravely ill.

7:21 am

So much, Annie.

7:22 am

be back soon

7:25 am

Does anyone have time for puppy potty training questions?

when they have accidents (which do happen) I say NO then take them out immediately and wait for them to pee again, reward, etc.

7:30 am

We take him out to potty, and he does, but then he comes in the house and will pee again on the floor.

7:30 am

He was doing really well with potty training, but the last two days he has regressed something awful.

7:31 am

I kept them on a leash in the house attached to my waistband. That way they couldn't pee in the house. Sounds weird, but it worked. Bichons [males] are notorious for marking in the house.

7:31 am

Ours pees three times (learning that the hard way) so we wait. I generally throw a stick for her a few times just to make sure she's done.

7:32 am

Wheeee! NBS!

7:33 am

I am not doing well with this grid. But I need to drink more coffee.

7:34 am

<pours Scrabs a tall hot coffee>

7:35 am

I accidentally made decaf coffee first but realized my mistake quickly. Phew.

7:36 am

OK...got to run and take mom to her day program. Have a great day everyone!

7:41 am

bye car

7:41 am

I thought yesterdays was pretty easy

7:41 am

any ideas for teaching pups not to dig up plants

7:42 am

All I can think of is sprinkling pepper flakes

7:42 am

I will ask my trainer about that one and get back to you!

7:42 am

8:36 am

sliced some jalapeno cheese on top of an egg over easy, onion bagel on the side.. passes tray around

8:36 am

I am so off eggs!

8:36 am

hoy aloy!

8:36 am

ahoy aloy!

8:37 am

snatches eggs off tray.. hi kje

8:37 am

what's wrong with eggs?

8:39 am

I was borderline with eggs anyway - would only eat them scrambled, then at a chef's table several months ago they served a raw quail egg yolk in a dashi broth and I thought I would try it... it is just one tiny bite! but that was a mistake. I almost couldn't swallow... several moments of trying very hard to smile and not gag, then finally got it down. Haven't been able to look at an egg since

8:39 am

even just cracking them for baked goods is a little creepy

8:39 am

ooch.. ixnay on raw eggs

8:39 am

they are so slimy

8:40 am

just change the albumin with heat

8:40 am

I like eggs but they have to be fully cooked - no runny anything so that would gross me out too kje

8:40 am

have you ever dropped eggs on the floor? I once dropped a carton on the kitchen floor as a teenager and they are hard to clean up... they slide all around! I think that was when I first developed an aversion - lol

8:41 am

LOL.. that explains your egg-o-phobia!

8:42 am

I've made it to 55 left and must say, this is getting quite sticky now

8:43 am

46 left here and totally stuck - guess I need to walk away for a while - need to get back to work anyway

8:43 am

9:22 am

I taught recorder to Special Ed classes when I taught music in elementary school.

9:22 am

do you ever go to any of the Ohio music festival - i have attended Dulcimore which is on Memorial Day weekend

9:23 am

do u finger pick as well as strum the dulcimer?

9:23 am

not recently

9:23 am

primarily strum, but have taken workshops on fingerpicking and would love to do it better

9:24 am

is the harp your "primary" instrument?

9:25 am

I like to finger pick better than strum....but any way u play the dulcimer it is a gentle and soothing sound.

9:25 am

well...piano first then harp

9:26 am

Time for a break. *POOF*

12:31 pm

12:41 pm

Hmm, I have never thought of my inner ear as a labyrinth. : )

12:42 pm

Oh, but it is.

howdy cybernan

1:52 pm

been trying to figure out win 8 today and have come to the conclusion (for the first time) that, technologically, I am part of the forgotten generation!

1:55 pm

i do not care for win 8, they do have a patch for it now that gives you all the power and toys of win 8, but the general home screen of win 7. It is much easier to adapt that way

1:55 pm

feh. forget about it today and go play a round of golf instead :)

1:55 pm

Hi, everyone! Wow--I have the rest of today and the weekend off work! Haven't had that happen in months. Lots of projects to catch up on!

1:55 pm

sounds like a fine idea

1:55 pm

hi, mimi

1:55 pm

((mimi))

1:56 pm

good to have some time just for you

1:56 pm

Crossy, I live in terror thinking about when this computer gives out and I may have no choice but to go to Win 8....scary.

1:56 pm

<-- is going to golf this year. my husband pointed me towards boxes and boxes of golf balls, said buy these, and these, and these ... i said, why? i can only hit the ball 3 feet, i only need one ball :)

1:57 pm

fine for you crossy, but I am of the generation that doesn't want or use apps, smart phones or any of that stuff. I want to put an icon on my taskbar that will connect me to the control panel when I want it -- I want to organize my own files and I don't want a bunch of popups asking me to register for all the apps I don't want with no way to get rid of them.

1:57 pm

should rephrase the statement. *is going to swing the club this year*

1:57 pm

good news is that by the time your old girl gives up the ghost, they will most likely have learned their lesson at Microsoft, and Win 9 will be much better

1:58 pm

Making French Onion soup today....yum...and ...crossy...bacon wrapped filet mignon bites with bearnaise sauce.

1:58 pm

like Vista?... ;o)

1:58 pm

yay nan... that's the way i feel and get furious when i can't have it my way. i am too old to learn too much nerw shit and don t want to

1:58 pm

hoping for that too --- after all, I did manage to skip vista successfully! In the meantime, hubby got a new laptop with win8 and both of us, like martin short, are ready to pitch it on the ice!

1:59 pm

then, cybernana, if you buy a new machine that comes pre-loaded with win 8, you will need to use a hard drive wipe program like Killdisk" wipe the drive clean, reformat it and buy a copy of win 7 and do a clean install

1:59 pm

I had Vista on my original desktop and disabled it and changed to XP. I hear Win 8 just isn't compatible with MANY things.

1:59 pm

dittto, sammy

1:59 pm

I will tell you now, stay away from Win xp now that it no longer has any support. the hackers will now exploit the hell out of it

2:00 pm

Luckily, my old computer had partitions, so just had to install XP on the other one. Yes, I know XP is a dinosaur now...kind of like me...

2:00 pm

still have an xp, but don't use it on line -- only to use old programs that won't run on the newer OS's

2:00 pm

Thx crossy - mine is XP!

2:01 pm

well, yes, you can set up a dual-boot OS set up as well

2:01 pm

Hoots, i would advise you hunt for what is called a builders copy of Win 7.

2:01 pm

boy! -- guess I opened a can of worms here - lol

2:01 pm

And from the info they sent me, 8 is no good but they now have 8.1

2:02 pm

My dear friend got me this HP laptop when my other one died but when I need to replace it, am going for a desktop so if it dies, I can just replace the hard drive and/or motherboard rather than replace the entire computer.

2:02 pm

8.1 is the new home screen interface i just taled about

2:02 pm

only if you can figure out how to download it without everything freezing on you, hoot

2:02 pm

What's a builders copy. We've been talking about getting a new cmp but not sure if we can get one with 7.

2:03 pm

still want icon links on my desktop and no apps!

2:03 pm

Just do what crossy said and wipe the 8 off and reinstall 7, owl.

2:03 pm

that is why you have to install it yourself. Most pre- builts are coming with win 8. If you want &, you will have to do it yourself, or get a friend handy with computers to do it

2:03 pm

I'm with you Nan.

2:04 pm

wish I knew how do to that mimi

2:04 pm

if you want 7*

2:04 pm

You can also have places like Best Buy build your computer for you and that way you have more options.

2:04 pm

when i get too frustrated, i call my grandson over and tell him what i want todo and he fixes the thing for me and says you go nan,, he has known computers since he was thee and is 28 now and understands us both.. he and the pc . gant ask for more than that

2:04 pm

sounds good, sammysmom

2:04 pm

me and the pc that is

2:05 pm

I do the same with my son...he's 33 and amazingly good at all this stuff.

te7?

2:05 pm

Don't trust best buy or really anyone arounf here.not the brightest bunch!

2:05 pm

would love to send a letter to microsoft discussing senior's issues with these dramatic OS changes, but just try and find somewhere to send it! -- the only address on their website is snail mail!

2:06 pm

I wish i could spend 30 minutes with each of you . I would have your computers just purring

2:06 pm

Where does he live? I'll pay him!

2:06 pm

Crossy...that would be worth the price of a plane ticket!

2:07 pm

te 7 is how we feel about this game today!

2:07 pm

.....have always suspected that purring is your specialty skill, crossy!

2:07 pm

yup!

2:08 pm

Gotta get to some of my projects...going to be such a great weekend doing exact what I want to do! Hugs all around.

2:08 pm

9:23 pm

Hi Welki, i like my lamb cam this time of year...i've just checked up on the newest mam with her twins :)

9:26 pm

i've been watching a barn owl cam - two eggs within the last couple of days and an eagle cam (three chicks hatched) - maybe i watch them because spring comes so late here

9:26 pm

I saw them being born...i love this time of year

9:26 pm

** finito ** last word AA 5/14 - good night all

9:27 pm

we often drive in the country - i love seeing all the calves and foals :)

9:27 pm

I'll have to look into those too Welki as i love birds also

9:28 pm

WTG Teach and tc :0

9:28 pm

(waiting for the herons to come back to their nest - they're my favorite birds - and then pelicans :)

9:29 pm

I've seen herons and pelicans in Zoos here but i have seen herons wild in Egypt

9:29 pm

It was lovely to see them in there own habitat and flying

9:30 pm

i used to have a nesting pair in my backyard when i lived back east (in new jersey) - they usually had one chick each year, sometimes two

9:30 pm

Wow...that's brilliant

9:30 pm

lil, i see two lambs, one in each pen

9:32 pm

it was a beautiful yard - at a junction of a river and a stream, lots of big trees. my neighbors had peacocks that would roost in the trees (what a racket they made - scared me the first time i heard them)

9:33 pm

I have loads of little birds nesting in my fir trees...different types of tits,black birds, starlings and others, i also have collared doves who normally nest near my sky dish but not this year and i have a pidgeon, first time this year copmes and feed and the horrible rook type birds

9:33 pm

oh, there are the twins - and another in the other pen!

9:33 pm

There is only one lamb with her mam in a pen, and the other mam with her twins are outside the pen

9:35 pm

we live close to parkland, so see lots of different birds here, even in the city - and we live near a river, so get to see eagles, herons, pelicans and hawks - closer to home, flickers, magpies, robins, nuthatch, sparrows and finches

hi all

9:36 pm

and then the occasional deer and coyote - a couple of miles down the road, moose, deer, cougars and bear

9:36 pm

hi, owl - lillian reminded me that it's lamb cam time again!

9:37 pm

I have a picture of 2 female peacocks on the bairn's summerhouse last year...i looked out of the kitchen window and thought what the hell is that and then looked again and realized they were.we have a farm nearby and they have peacocks..sometimes we'll see the male one strutting around the village

oh joy!

9:37 pm

Hi TO :)

9:37 pm

ha! then you know about the screeching i was talking about - they are noisy birds!

9:38 pm

That sounds great welki, with all the birds you get to see

hi,lil

9:39 pm

I'm loving the other animals you get too Welki

9:39 pm

... and then there are canada geese. beautiful birds, but quite a nuisance when they congregate. like walking in a mine field

9:40 pm

Aye the male one seems to do all the noise as when we had the females on the shed they were quiet

9:40 pm

where in england are you, lil?

9:41 pm

The male one was at a bus stop once and i said to my husband "i wonder if he would have to pay to get on" :)

Geese get nasty, don't they....i always remember my mam saying when she was younger, in ww2, they had geese and they'd chase her

9:43 pm

wow - you couldn't get much closer to scotland

9:44 pm

Aye, a couple of hours away..that's why the Scotish like the geordies...nearer to Scotland, but they don't like majority of English

9:44 pm

yep, they can be (but swans are nastier) - but they make good farm companions. i bought one to keep my girlfriend's horse company, a 'toulouse goose' to be precise

9:45 pm

really? a goose and a horse?

9:46 pm

Swans are nasty...beautiful though.In England you can't harm a swan...as it's royal

9:46 pm

yes (and they're pretty good 'watchdogs' too, as are roosters - my husband used to have a rooster that would chase anyone who came onto his property

my neighbor has a pair

9:47 pm

nothing worse than being chased by a ...

9:47 pm

Roosters are noisy though. i would love chickens, but my cat would frighten them to death and there are too many cats around here

9:47 pm

you have quite the pair, too, owl

9:48 pm

hello hello

9:48 pm

... a toulouse goose? or a too loose goose?

It doesn't help that she is in the big pen with all the ewes so she has to keep an eye on them so another ewe doesn't pinch one of hers, even though they are ready to drop

I walked through do 4/5 at th 5/12 thirty after work and I dove de 4/5 into this grid earlier and I have oo 5/14 and aa 5/14 over fireworks. I would ra 4/4 this grid one of the most difficult ones. This was a ha 4/6 grid so here's a story of clues for babblers who are in di4/5 need of clues.I don't like to watch sports. Some sports fans are ro7/48 than others. I sw 5/18 that I would never watch sports on TV, but then started to watch Basketball.It is the only sport that I like. I can watch Basketball for ho 5/14. I would ra 5/12r watch Basketball than any other sport. I wish I could take a ri4/5 to an NBA game and go into their locker room. I wouldn't care about the od 4/5 or the smell. I used to play Basketball myself.I was a good th7/48 & could th 5/20 the ball into the ho 4/6. Husband has op5/14 to use computer.Husband is br5/16ing over my babbling and has a do 4/6 look on his face. He ha 4/5s it when I babble. He keeps raising his eye br 5/22 as if to say Are you done yet? He is such a br 4/6! He gets me so mad that I have to remind myself th4/6 shall not kill!I am going to give him computer so we don't get into a he 6/24 argument and I have to suffer his wr 5/20. I am going to go watch the movie Boyz n the Ho 4/6. I am su4/5 to come back tomorrow. Goodnite babblers
