4:13 am

4:14 am

me? Never. I don't know no Ks. Huh-huh. Nah. Not me. Wouldna talk 'bout them, I would.

4:14 am

how dare they, Chessy. Let's chase them out of their hiding places!

4:15 am

nah, leave 'em be - they might turn vicious!

4:16 am

true, dat. Ok, will sneek behind them then, and catch them unawares.

4:17 am

ugh and that kh- is unproductive as well

4:17 am

Good plan, that'll learn 'em

4:17 am

*makes room in the babble PB for all the cages

4:17 am

4:17 am

4:18 am

Hi n bye rose :)

4:18 am

17/21... grrrr... where are the others...

4:20 am

hah! There are some ke words. Ks killed.

4:24 am

Good morning, thanks to my cat I am up earlier than I intended.

4:24 am

bad kitty. Good morning sukee, great to see you.

4:24 am

That is what I get for not having a clock in my bedroom I guess :)

4:24 am

Hi sprite.

4:25 am

a walking, purring, warm and funny clock

4:25 am

21 Ks, lovely.

4:25 am

ikr! Don't know which idiot thought we even know that many K words.

4:26 am

He has a habit of licking my forehead.

4:26 am

oh lol! Such a weird way of waking up, I imagine. That raspy feeling on your fore head.

4:28 am

And 50 S words, at least those are more common.

4:28 am

yeah. At least I am confident I know that many S words.

4:29 am

Oh well, with my extra hour to play it should be okay :)

4:29 am

I will retract my earlier judgement. Good kitty!

4:30 am

Then again, I will need a nap in the afternoon :)

4:30 am

and back...xoxox sprite and sukee

4:30 am

Hi Rose.

4:31 am

naps are so nice. I used to hate them. Nowadays, it is often the best moment of my day.

4:31 am

hi sukee

4:31 am

wb rose, my darling :) How was your dinner? And glad the letter finally made it.

4:31 am

Yes, the cat lies down with me and purrs the whole time. I wonder if that is part of his plan :) Get me up early so we have to take a nap together later.

4:32 am

it was the highlight of my day, dearest. thanx so much.

4:32 am

undoubtedly. Cats are smart that way.

4:32 am

my pleasure, rose. Literally. Just preparing and writing it was such a joy :)

4:36 am

going out with june tomorrow. her power is off for works tomorrow , so she changed it. she said she would rather be out, than sit there with no power.

4:37 am

good thinking. Any idea what you guys will be doing?

4:38 am

apart from coffee, lunch, charity shopping and curing the ills of the world. nope, no idea.

4:38 am

oh, that should be enough, lol

4:39 am

i am so elated about the lower back spasms.

4:40 am

me too! Am so happy for you. Finally, a medicine that works for that. I bet you can't remember doing the bed without lower back spasms.

4:40 am

not since forever.

4:41 am

thought so. Well, you have earned every second without pain thrice over.

4:42 am

H words down, all 5 of them :)

4:42 am

yay sukee!!

4:42 am

wooooot sukee! Good hunting :D

4:44 am

and the Rs

4:45 am

going strong there

4:45 am

Sure, have half of the Ks

4:45 am

well done sukee

4:45 am

very good!

4:46 am

I like grids like this better than yesterdays

4:46 am

oh rose, and lovely to read that you can drive the car. That car gives you your freedom back, doesn't it.

4:46 am

yesterday's was too small, lol.

4:48 am

absolutely sprite. and no need to rub in the size of yesterdays grid. the drier would do it to anything.....col

4:48 am

hmphhhhh. Look m'dear, you can shrink anything you like. Except my babble!

4:48 am

need to get the meds ready. bbs

4:50 am

sure, sure, hide behind the meds. Watch it, little lady, or I will shrink your meds!

4:55 am

Ok, I need a short break, 95 left.

4:56 am

good job, sukee! Have a nice day, in case I don't see you after your break

4:56 am

:-P pfft and ~~~ i'm baaack ~~~

4:57 am

lol.... wb.... I guess! :P

4:57 am

hahahaha

4:58 am

*hugs rose* Nah, I am always happy to see you.

4:59 am

right two columns

4:59 am

greyed out

4:59 am

well done sprite

5:01 am

oh I didn't tell you yet... you know how my vit D was way way too low? And the pills aren't helping much?

5:02 am

yup??

5:03 am

one of my fellow coaches is a doctor (of medicine) and she said, no way in hell you will get that vitD up from that low with those pills. And she prescribed me a turbo treatment. A super high dose once in the 2-3 weeks, 3 times. Then check again. Repeat if necessary. And only after it is back to normal, proceed with the maintenance and take those other pills.

5:05 am

ordered it, had to order in belgium since it isn't available in the netherlands. Got it yesterday and took it. Can't wait to have it checked in two months.

5:05 am

oh?? that is so amazing!! so glad you found that out. fingers crossed, and prayers said.

5:05 am

did you check out the vitacost site?

5:06 am

no I googled, and then picked the cheapest that actually sends to the netherlands.

5:07 am

okay. good for you!!

5:07 am

good morning. Things are not getting better around here. Burt is becoming somewhat unmanageable. He insists on going up and down the stairs, unaccompanied.

5:07 am

means I have to save up for the socks again, but I think this is more important. The feet are just pain and discomfort, the vitD shortage sabotages the whole body.

5:07 am

My chest is worse again.

5:08 am

I am beside myself.

5:08 am

aww ruby...i'm not surprised dear. xoxox running up and down those stairs.

5:09 am

I think you have reached the stage where Burt has to be institutionalised, ruby. Taking care of him is killing you.

5:10 am

I'm afraid he would die in a place where he couldn't understand anything and couldn't communicate

5:10 am

{{gentle hugs}} for our rubyfoo

5:11 am

I've just written to his "too-busy" daughter that she needs to come here right away. I need the help and even if she could just sit with him, that would be something. I'm afraid if his mind gets much worse, he won't know her

5:11 am

at his age, darling, he is gonna die anywhere. Sorry to be so blunt, but it is the truth. And from what you tell, I doubt he even realises he is at home, most of the time. He is confused all the time.

5:11 am

ruby...if you are not physically to do it, then that's it, sweetie. you just have to let go. i did advise you to make sure he could do all post-op that he could do pre-op.

5:12 am

good job, ruby. If she is too busy to come help you, she deserves a severe asskicking.

5:12 am

H still takes care of his"personal" needs, even if he has a little trouble with his clothes, but last night, he thought he wS IN ny sTATE

5:13 am

ugh, poor darling ruby. that is so distressing.

5:13 am

yep. That is too much for you to handle, ruby. Get him institutionalised. And visit often. Not easy, far from easy, but this is undoable.

5:15 am

vitacost does not carry it, rose.

5:16 am

np's sprite. how about progressive health?

5:16 am

how do you mean?

5:16 am

oh wait, is that another website?

5:16 am

check out their site.

5:18 am

right, found it. Lol, typed in vitamin D. First thing that comes up is... you guessed it... fibromyalgie and vitamin D deficiency. 61 out of 100 FM patients have it.

5:19 am

* giggling * oh really??

5:19 am

and 42 out of 61 felt much better and had less markers for FM after the D was back to normal. Also started on a massive dose.

5:20 am

*tousles rose's hair and runs away* Na na naaaa naaa

5:20 am

have you had your vit D levels checked recently?

5:22 am

yes, i have. and it was low..surprise, surprise

5:23 am

indeed. Lol. Well, here is the advice my doctor friend gave me: D-cure drink ampoules, 100,000 IE. Buy 4 ampoules. Take on ampoule once every 2 or 3 weeks. Also take calcium, 1000mg a day.

5:24 am

on = one

5:24 am

and only after your vit-D levels are back up, use the normal pills for a maintenance dose.

5:25 am

doing that, sprite. i am taking caltrate. calcium and vit D in one tablet.

5:25 am

interesting, I just read that in a clinical test in saudi-arabia they found out that exposure to sunlight does not make any difference.

5:27 am

yeah that is what I have as well, but my doctor friend said it won't do the trick for us. When the levels are way down, you need a serious booster. My lvls were below 10, far below 10, and they need to be 50 or so.

5:27 am

and anything below 30 is considered a deficiency

5:27 am

yeah...ain't that interesting. our old GP theorised, that 10 minutes walk in the sunshine would cure our vit D deficiency.

5:29 am

according to him...in england, in the villages, there are paths around the villages, which the villagers used to perambulate every late afternoon, early evening. hence their vit D levels were okay.

5:32 am

I just read that for an FM patient, to bring up very low vit D levels, one needs to sunbathe at least 3 hours a day. Under very good circumstances. Are the circumstances less good, one has to stay outdoors sunbathing all day! And in winter, there just isn't enough sunlight to do you any good.

5:33 am

now isn't that interesting?? and here we are told to cover up, put on sunscreen. right!! which is it to be?

5:34 am

um I would say, take the darn supplements! And then cover up, put on sunscreen, and make sure you are outdoors for at least an hour a day, just because that is good for all of us.

5:36 am

looks good to me...but not what the medical profession are advocating. * hands nearest doctor the latest printout of information *

5:37 am

indeed, lol. Well, I am certain my doctor will be open to the new info. She is a good 'un. And I am certain enough of this to try it myself. Will let you know!

5:37 am

good for you, sprite.

5:38 am

this article says to take 50,000 IU every week. My doctor friend said 100,000 IU every two weeks. Sounds to me like comparable advice.

5:38 am

yup, it sure does.

5:39 am

ugh...it is after 9:30pm here. starting to feel the effects of the meds.

5:40 am

ohhh goodie, the silent P words. Makes me feel so smart when I spot them, lollll.

5:40 am

well done sprite!

5:41 am

yeah, it is lullaby time for our rose. Sleep well, dear rosey, relax... no you are too sleepy for sex... dream of hot cabana boys instead... Sleep well, dear rose, go to bed....

5:42 am

* grinning * happy to oblige. xoxox sprite.

5:42 am

*hugs* my dear friend. See you in email :)

6:04 am

am missing an S6 and 7, probably a combo. I have the musical pieces. Anyone who can point me in the right direction, please?

sorry, sprite, just started.

6:09 am

hi cece :) np, I will find them. Just feels like I have tried each and every combination, lol.

6:09 am

clue for the lone as 5 plz

6:10 am

as + make another word out of a word = ***gram.

6:10 am

and hi ivesy :)

6:11 am

ty and hi sprite :)

sa6 = sa + zingy flavour (+ plural)

6:11 am

hah, found them. Fireflies. sa + a fiery ballroom dance ****o. And plural.

6:12 am

that's the right one, juni, thanks :D

Heh, sorry, slow.

6:13 am

apart from the Ks, this grid was really fun! Anything I can help with before I go?

6:13 am

not your fault, juni, lol. Thanks for the clue, much better than mine.

6:16 am

ok, I am off then. May you all have a blessed day and a peaceful night. Or the other way around. *hugs*

6:16 am

hagd sprite

g'night sprite, sorry was just finishing up (7 left)

6:26 am

Good morning, everyone:)

6:27 am

good morning, Crossy! gm, everyone

6:36 am

Hiyas, kiddos. Too early a start for me. Gotta take hubby to his colonoscopy appointment this a.m.

6:37 am

hi Judi! do you have a tablet or laptop you can use whilst waiting?

6:38 am

I'll just be bringing my book, dawg. Can't be bothered with the tablet.

6:39 am

as long as you have something to occupy your time. waiting for the procedure to be done is a drag...for both parties.

6:40 am

Oh dear. I just realized that there are 21 K words.

6:41 am

they aren't too bad to find, Judi.

6:41 am

I think that accounts for all the K words that exist in the universe.

6:42 am

lol, just don't forget the esses for these words. that seems to be my downfall today. stupid hidden plurals

6:43 am

Yes. See what you mean.

6:43 am

Good morning

6:44 am

Hiya, car!

6:45 am

and the silent P's ugh

6:45 am

hi car!

6:46 am

The K's do go rather smoothly. Basically just type anything and it works. 2 left.

6:48 am

Off to a fun morning of waiting room. *POOF*

6:50 am

enjoy your reading and waiting, Judi

7:00 am

And now it is time for Crossy's tidbit of the day!!

7:00 am

Syria, China, Vietnam, and Iran have banned Facebook.

7:01 am

Of course this may change from week to week and from dictator to dictator:)

7:04 am

Hmmmm

7:09 am

that tidbit was a bit dull and flat, so I think I will give you a nice quote of the day to shore it up a bit...

7:09 am

"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life." –John Lennon

7:10 am

:) For the record, your tidbits are never dull or flat! I enjoy them all!

7:10 am

:)

7:11 am

good morning. It seems to be Spring today. There'll be flowers in a week and the wild primroses are "partout"

7:12 am

((ruby))

7:12 am

Hello Ruby! Lovely!

7:12 am

{{crossy}}

7:12 am

hello car...

7:12 am

salut, ruby -- good to see you! here it's jonquils de partout! :-)

7:12 am

tulips, iris and allium are all leafed up

7:13 am

bonjour une

7:13 am

lovely!

7:13 am

Hello Une

7:13 am

hey car :-)

7:14 am

Minus 8 C here this morning. We will not have anything green and growing for a bit yet:(

7:14 am

before we went back to cool rain and clouds, we had to VERY warm days with full sun, and the flowers all over town went NUTS :-)

7:14 am

*two

7:15 am

crossy, that's like where my daughter lives in Maine --- still the North Pole there :-)

7:15 am

lol

7:15 am

We've been really lucky with this winter: a little snow, a little frost, a little sunshine, but generally gentle

7:15 am

Our ski hills are doing a booming business. We will give them till end of March break, then we want it all gone!

7:16 am

Its very cold here again today

7:17 am

I don't think it got as low as 25F here this year. We could use a little rain, but it's not drastic.

7:17 am

just the opposite here, ruby :-)

7:18 am

It is very different from 17 yrs. ago when we moved here. There was much more snow, even well into April

7:19 am

Hi everybody - so nice to read about your flowers - we still have some snow on the ground, and they're predicting 3 more inches tomorrow

7:19 am

Hello JBV

7:19 am

Hello JBV!

7:20 am

I overdid it in the garden on Tuesday, just couldn't stand the winter detritus on the new spring leaves

7:20 am

I saw a robin yesterday - I think he's a little ahead of schedule

7:21 am

The resident birds have all gotten their courting plumage

7:21 am

it's great to hear birdsong in the morning

7:21 am

I am so ready for spring

7:21 am

The closest thing we have to a robin is the red throat, but he's tiny and walks into the house occasionally since he was widowed by our window

7:22 am

cardinals, robins, chickadees, mockingbirds abound! :-)

7:23 am

We have seagulls and hawks...no pretty ones

7:23 am

Hello Annie

7:23 am

Hi car. :)

7:24 am

We have a large variety of bid life that has returned to join the ones that stayed through the winter.

7:25 am

We have verdiers (green finches, I think), pinsons, merles (black and large but with lovely voices), and more, but I'm drawing a blank. Oh yeah, chardaronnet, a tiny bird that is red, yellow, black, white and brown.

7:25 am

Our Canada geese are back. I am sure that Florida is happy about that:)

7:25 am

We'e've had two different woodpecker,one green and red, the other jut like US ones, but they are rare.

7:25 am

There are magpies, but I only seen one in ourgarden in all these years.

7:26 am

We have many varieties of woodpecker, but the pealated(sp) is the most common

7:26 am

I had to rescue one from the garage as he got stuck. I wasn't careful and he tried to peck me.

7:26 am

pileated

7:27 am

ty, jbv... I was too lazy to look it up

7:27 am

We also have beautiful hawsk, eperviers, in French, like the one that came in the house.

7:27 am

: )

7:28 am

you had a hawk in the house?

7:28 am

I would need an hour to list just a portion of our bird varieties:)

7:28 am

I was more careful with the hawk when rescuing her, got her from the back and she relaxed in my hands

7:28 am

We have never had a hawk in the house though!

7:28 am

I used to see so many more varieties - but over the years they seem to have been disappearing slowly

7:28 am

She was trying to pick a small bird off the feeder, I guess, and flew in the front door

7:28 am

had a chipmunk once

7:29 am

A oon as it's warm enough, I keep many doors open

7:29 am

You do not have screen doors, Ruby?

7:30 am

Have had two bats, but |I won't handle them, just turn off all the lights and close the door and open windows

7:30 am

If I kept doors open here, I'd have a squirrel picnic in my kitchen!

7:30 am

I|'ve never seen screen doors in France

7:30 am

We would be plagued by insects if we just left everything wide open:(

7:30 am

wow

7:30 am

No squirrels here

7:30 am

Maybe the French ate all the mosquitos:))

7:31 am

So far, we haven't had mosquitoes but with the warming climate, the may change. I think the bat that live in the cliff above us keep the insect population down

7:31 am

What about raccoon's and skunks etc, ruby?

7:31 am

as garnish for the squirrels and rabbits that they ate

7:31 am

and possums and groundhogs

7:32 am

those critters are thriving here

7:32 am

ad groundhogs, and hedgehogs..

7:32 am

snap

7:32 am

hedgehogs - I don't think I've ever seen one

7:32 am

none of either but there are foxes and a badger in the field above (never seen by me, but one eviscerated my neighbor's cat) and boar and little dear halfway up the hill.

7:32 am

We even see the odd mole

7:33 am

Interesting that you do not have squirrels, but you could wake up one morning to a wild boar going through your garbage:)

7:33 am

a small mountain deer? interesting - I just had a conversation with my Italian cousins about them -

7:33 am

I;ve never seen one, so I bought a metal sculpture of a hedgehog to go in the garden. I love garden sculpture and keep finding interesting things -- a dragon/lizard, a rabbit, a frog, a large tortoise and a heron

7:34 am

I really don't know what kind of deer it is, but one ate my friend's entire rose garden

7:34 am

oh, yes, we also have lots of hawks and various types of woodpeckers :-)

7:34 am

there are also chamois, but you have to go into the cliffs to see them

7:35 am

how cool, ruby!

7:35 am

I think the animals here are probably the same as in Northern Italy

7:35 am

yes, my cousins sent me pictures of a chamois -

7:35 am

yes, the other side of the mountains!

7:36 am

Unfortunately, rabid bat are expected to come over those same mountains one of these years, also black widow spiders.

7:36 am

we used to have deer and foxes but with all the new construction and destruction of native habitats, we don't see them much any more :-(

7:37 am

My sister sees raccoons on her deck in Forest Hills,NY, and they've spotted coyotes and foxes in Central Park!

7:38 am

I love living in the country

7:38 am

HI ruby. I have two new fosters, girls this time

7:39 am

names? and hello bichon and {{annie}}

7:39 am

My oxycodone has kicked in and I feel much better than I did this AM. Chatty Nellie!

7:39 am

How are they getting along with the boys?

7:39 am

Sadie and Sukie, almost 10.

7:40 am

The boys have no problems with females

7:40 am

Sukie follows Mr. Bich around like a ducklin after the mother duck

7:41 am

imprinted, very cute

7:42 am

They have housebreaking issues. I got some artificial grass and that seems to work

7:43 am

We've been lucky with all 7 of our chows, no housebreaking issues, even at 3 months

7:44 am

Bichons are notoriously difficult to housebreak. But, this was an owner problem

7:45 am

Is your pleurisy any better?

7:45 am

chows are notoriously stubborn in many ways, but, fortunately, not about that. If, however, you say "ome", they look at the sky and say "Ya talkin' to me?"

7:46 am

It was getting better but I did some gardening on Tuesday (duh me) and it's a little bit worse again, but not like before

7:46 am

S&S are easy going and I think that will make them adoptable

7:46 am

"come" or "sit"

7:47 am

I strained a quad muscle back in Nov and it still hurts. Went to physical therapy but they said it will take months

7:47 am

Did the physical therapy help? This hurts too much to touch

7:48 am

I do exercises every day to strengthen the muscle. Sometimes it doesn't hurt at all. Then there are other times

7:49 am

My only exercise is stairs and with Burt taking all his meals in bed, I do between 40 and 60 flights a day (but who's counting lol)

7:49 am

W What else can you do about the condition?ell, couldn't hurt.

7:51 am

I think it should heal by summer but I can't do any gardening or lifting

7:52 am

and the garden beckons

7:52 am

Getting old sucks

7:53 am

amen!

7:54 am

and now the couch beckons.

7:54 am

bye everybody

7:54 am

sounds like a plan

8:16 am

hi everybody. first day of trimester 3, so it's pretty much chaos :)

8:18 am

You are pregnant trif?

8:19 am

hahahahahaha....gosh no! How funny ruru! Laughing in the library

8:19 am

SCHOOL trimester!

8:19 am

Valentine has been busy

8:20 am

We were waiting for quatro... :D

8:20 am

he's quite sick, actually....has been for a week

8:20 am

hahahaha....I adore you ruru

8:20 am

Aw

8:21 am

get this - primo;s birthday was yesterday, and this weekend he is throwing himself a party at this REALLY cool new place in boston - it's set up like an actual 1920's speakeasy, and you have to dress up and all to go....I'm really looking forward to it!

8:22 am

Fun

8:22 am

I really hope the snow isn't as severe as predicted.....that will make getting in the city a bummer

8:23 am

What a year boston is having

8:24 am

108" thus far, tra la la

It is God's way of punishing the red sox for taking the panda

8:25 am

people are so mean to him! he's not that big....

8:26 am

He should.he is a really great player

8:27 am

at the last game I was at, Daniel nava was texting in his glove. On the field. During game play. Eyeroll. Don't see our Panda doing a lot of that nonsense.

8:28 am

Just hope he doesn't discover the north end.

8:29 am

10:14 am

at 9:24

10:14 am

cross like we didnt know her name was in the grid right?

10:19 am

and good morning everyone

10:19 am

hi flosey

10:19 am

Just used varying sizes and coarseness of round files to shape them, then rock blanket for polishing.

10:19 am

Howdy, flosey:)

10:19 am

JS: I try to find every word possible off each tile before I move on to the next

10:19 am

hi flosey

10:20 am

alright I was just wondering what most people do

10:20 am

oh hey jacob its noah

10:20 am

ruru i do that sometimes too but not always on purpose

10:20 am

I find one for each tile, then move on to getting the rest

10:20 am

Hi noah Hi Jacob

10:20 am

there are many ways to play a grid

10:20 am

I do the same, ruru

10:20 am

ruru beautiful dog in your icon

10:21 am

I know we have a few that do it alphabetically as well

10:21 am

its if i see more then one word while trying to get one word from each tile

10:22 am

I start from the top left.. as my brain warms up, I type in any word I see connected to the one I just found and then I return to the start and go from right to left, letting it all flow until I get to the bottom right.. and then go back for a closer hunt..

10:22 am

i have tried alphabetically i cant deal with a grid that way

10:23 am

hints for the 10 and 11 please

10:23 am

While other prefer to grey out an entire column before going forward to the enxt

10:23 am

next

10:23 am

cross i have done that but not on purpose

10:25 am

I start in the top left and work each letter, left to right, top to bottom. If I don't gray out a letter I just move on to the next letter. When I finish the last letter, I look at the grid more "globally" and let my eyes wander around picking out words I missed here and there. I rarely have enough time during the day to the do that part, though.

10:25 am

SA7?

10:25 am

use some different vowels then ;)

1:39 pm

change the last letter to a different vowel

1:39 pm

hes a husky mix. we dont know for sure, but we're guessing part german shepherd,

1:40 pm

ty eva

1:40 pm

one of my fav nudibranchs is in the grid, Okenia

1:40 pm

that dog is just beautiful! i love huskies

1:40 pm

my husband is OBSESSED with them.

1:41 pm

we wanted one + worked through several rescues before we got this guy. we got a god one. ;)

1:41 pm

we dont have the outdoor space much for one

1:41 pm

i also want a cairn poo to adopt but not easy to find

1:41 pm

we have a good-sized back yard, but its a low, split-rail fence. so far, hes only ever been out on a leash (save that one time he bolted out the front door).

1:42 pm

we're hoping to tether-train him once it warms up a bit.

1:42 pm

tether train him?

1:42 pm

a leash?

1:43 pm

we have a 30-foot tether in the back yard, but we dont feel comfortable letting him run around unattended until we know it's secure + he wont go nuts. heh

1:44 pm

weve tathered him a few times while weve been with him, but its just been too cold to do it over the winter.

1:44 pm

those dogs like to roam the outdoors

1:45 pm

yeah, which is why it would be nice to be able to hook him to the tether, even if we arent able to sit + watch him the whole time...

1:46 pm

they can get hurt that way trying to get loose via their necks can't they? strong dogs

1:46 pm

I don't think Eva would do anyrthing that would hurt her dogs!

1:46 pm

possibly, yes, which is why we havent done it until we can take the time to train him. if he doesnt take to it, it wont be an option.

1:47 pm

i am sure but the tether situation but i understand

1:47 pm

plus, he does have a prong collar, which he cant wriggle out of -- the more you struggle, the tighter it gets.

1:47 pm

scary

1:48 pm

we're learning a lot as we go...some things work + others dont. it's worth a try!

1:48 pm

ata what type of dog is in your pic?

1:48 pm

as long as no one gets hurt eva .. dog or human:)

1:48 pm

cocker spaniel

1:49 pm

ABSOLUTELY. we would never intentionally do anything that hurts him.

1:49 pm

ata thought so that dog has a nice coat

1:49 pm

no you wouldnt eva but you never know

1:49 pm

i thought the prong collar would be painful at first, but really, its just a training tool. he doesnt take any notice of it, but its helpful to get him to obey commends when hes on his leash. otherwise, he takes no notice of it.

1:49 pm

its a bit floofy cos he's been neutered. but its still lovely and fluffy

1:50 pm

it got that way from being neutered?

1:50 pm

its what each dog can tolerate. Loki cannot BEAR scissors near him so grooming is a real real trial

1:50 pm

i used to have a great pyrenese

1:50 pm

yeah, male cockers coats go a bit odd after neutering!

1:51 pm

i never knew that ata

1:51 pm

it is a bit of a strange thing!

1:51 pm

oh, theyre lovely, ML!

1:52 pm

yes we had one big dog but so nice

1:54 pm

ive always loved pugs, but i think that will have to wait SOME TIME until after Kakashi -- he would probably see a pug as a snack or (more likely, since hes not at all aggressive) a toy!

1:55 pm

eva lol and that would not be pretty

1:55 pm

I met a boston terrier puppy yesterday, just the most adorabel thing ever

1:56 pm

we have a cat and have no idea how she would react to a dog we had other cats and she wanted to play/attack. but she does that anyway

1:56 pm

ata arent those adorable !

1:56 pm

sooooo adorable

1:57 pm

we want to get a dog but not an ankle biting yelper lol

1:58 pm

2:08 pm

21 k words is stupid

2:08 pm

2:08 pm

2:08 pm

2:09 pm

all the oens i have are plurals

2:11 pm

so 4 and 5 then from there since i only have two s words left?

2:11 pm

then youree missing the first one. cooking technique

2:12 pm

but i do need 3 s words on the first column as well

2:13 pm

i just found a so 4/8 that went with the corner s

2:13 pm

oops never mind

2:14 pm

i am confusing myself i havent finished the ro words yet

2:14 pm

i have ro 5/10 having to do with cooking

2:15 pm

then you have all the ro5

2:15 pm

do you have ro4 before the cooking one?

2:15 pm

i have 3

2:15 pm

lurking but looking at the chat -- in French scrabble there are almost no K words besides kiwi

2:15 pm

then you are missing a plural one

2:15 pm

the one i just mentioned ends in t

2:15 pm

And hello ata!!

2:15 pm

hi ruby!

2:16 pm

ruby lol how fun

2:16 pm

And spring has arrived' the first daff opened today.

2:16 pm

how are the chows?

2:17 pm

meanwhile, we are allegedly going to get snow tomorrow. saturday is the first day of spring, so it's like winter is flipping us the bird on its way out...

2:17 pm

Someone pls tell me, what is the difference between daffodils and jonquils. The French call what I think is a daff, jonquille and they have no other word

2:18 pm

It has been so long since I've seen you, ata, that these two are probably unknown to you: Ruffino, the most magnifique male ever (from Italy) and Rafaella, the sauciest longest-haired girl ever \(from Spain)

2:18 pm

pi7?

2:18 pm

i believe jonquils are a specific type of daffodil...

2:19 pm

Raffie looks like someone's idea of an animated fluffy toy

2:19 pm

I just remember Ruffino, but not Raffaella

2:20 pm

Aaaah, she came after Ruby died

2:20 pm

jonquils make clusters daffodils grow individually

2:20 pm

So then they can call them what they like, these are daffs, just like they used to sell in subway entrances in NY

2:20 pm

Daffodil: This is the official common name for ANY of the plants that fall into the genus Narcissus. So, if the plant is considered a Narcissus, it is also considered a daffodil as well. However, most people use the term “daffodil” when referring to the large, trumpet-shaped flowers of the Narcissus pseudonarcissus. These are those big, showy, familiar bulbs that bloom in spring that we all know and love. Jonquil Jonquil: This term actually refers to a specific type of daffodil known as Narcissus jonquilla, although the name is often used as a more general term for daffodils in certain parts of the country. They are most easily identified by their dark green, tube-shaped leaves as compared to other types of daffodils which have flat leaves. Jonquils also tend to have clusters of several flowers, instead of just one bloom, along with a strong scent.

2:20 pm

pi 7 please?

2:21 pm

Within two weeks I will have daffs, tulips, primroses and fruit-tree flowers

2:21 pm

i am so jealous ruby

2:21 pm

we have a large peonie plant on the front yard. they dont last long, but they are SO lovely.

2:22 pm

I loooove peonies

2:22 pm

Thank you, ata. These have flattish leaves and long stems but are not very showy, maybe because they' were here before we bought the house, so the bulbs are at least 17 yrs old

2:23 pm

Peonies are my favorites, and they are all starting to push up

2:23 pm

ours are self-sustaining, which is wonderful, as i have a black thumb. our house's previous owners planted them + ive never had to do anything with them other than pull weeds.

2:23 pm

i keep wanting to get soem fruit trees and some crepe myrtle

2:24 pm

but we have ye tto do so

2:24 pm

once flowered, the heads are so heavy that they pull down + dont last long, so i was thinking this year i may invest in a peonie cage-thing that holds the weight of the blooms... but ill probably forget.

2:24 pm

We have white ones with yellow centers that are the size of dinner plates. Then there are lots of ordinary pink ones and one magnificent magenta, my favorite

2:25 pm

When I planned the garden, I had 15 trees (some fruit, some note) and lots of berry bushes planted. But this garden has evolved in many different ways. Lots of thing died off and others spread like crazy

2:26 pm

we planted a peach tree in the back yard when my husband's nana passed a year + a half ago. im hoping it gives us some fruit this year!

2:26 pm

Eva" I just bought soe peony "tuteurs" yesterday, basically a small metal pole with a detachable and moveable ring

2:26 pm

A

2:27 pm

hi gail

2:27 pm

yes, thats it, ruby!

2:27 pm

are they easy to use?

2:27 pm

We had a small sanguine peach tree which fruited for two years. The second year it had about 200 peaches and then died.

2:27 pm

last great effort

2:28 pm

es, and you raise the ring as the plant gets taller. They're dark green and I lose a couple every year

2:28 pm

"Gave up its soul"

2:28 pm

And I have a wonderful fig tree that was exactly my size when it was planted and is now enormous and gives figs twice some years

2:29 pm

7:59 pm

Chinese food? are you kidding?

8:00 pm

Velveeta is not cheese,

8:00 pm

true, mkg... but she prefers the more esoteric stuff.

8:00 pm

*imagines Velveeta on a dim sum tray

8:00 pm

velveeta is like mac and cheese i believe

8:00 pm

even "american" cheese... i think is gross.. and so does she

8:01 pm

Mmm, cheese food. On that note, check your Mac and Cheese boxes, there's a recall for some Kraft boxes for metal filings found in them.

8:01 pm

hi folks

8:01 pm

<doesn't eat Kraft

8:01 pm

hey welks

8:02 pm

hi welki. kraft makes the best cream cheese though.

8:02 pm

<---Doesn't eat processed.

8:02 pm

Dorens, how about Prima Donna cheese? It's almost {ALMOST} better'n chocolate.

8:02 pm

just looked up humboldt fog - looks delish

8:02 pm

Hi, welki

8:02 pm

<-- has perfected vegetable cream cheese (can't find it up here)

8:03 pm

oh.. that's all I need is more prima donna's in my life

8:03 pm

it is welki! and JBs.. i don't know what that is.. but it's really up to her mom, not me

8:03 pm

C

8:03 pm

prima donna's are sometimes worth it ru... depends on who she is

8:03 pm

... and what she drives :D

8:03 pm

*ouch.. I bit my tongue*

8:04 pm

C'mon, ruru, YOU are talking about OTHER prima donnas? <smirk>

8:04 pm

C'mon, ruru, YOU are talking about OTHER prima donnas? <smirk>

8:04 pm

8:05 pm

Goodnight, Bzzn!

8:05 pm

9 is your bed time? WHAT?

8:06 pm

*puts out metamuscil for bzz*

8:06 pm

according to her profile she's only 6 years old so I'd say thats actually surprising

8:07 pm

yeah. a lot of six year olds play this game :D

8:07 pm

according to profiles we have an inordinate number of 6 year olds

8:07 pm

*Snap doren*

8:07 pm

you owe me a coke

8:07 pm

snap indeed. diet cokes? i have plenty

8:08 pm

dorens, what the heck is vegetable ash and why is it in that cheese?

8:08 pm

LOL.. I bet you do

8:08 pm

makes it taste better welki

8:08 pm

i don't really know welk, but it is goood.

8:08 pm

Humboldt fog is delish

8:08 pm

especially with a nice sauvignon blanc

8:08 pm

they make another cheese (whoever makes humboldt fog) and it's even better. just can't remember what it is

8:09 pm

i wish they had some info about that ash on their website - i've never heard of it, is it something common? (it's cypress grove)

8:10 pm

i was aghast when i saw my son and his wife give Phoebe the humboldt Fog, La Tur, etc. Not because they're 'sophisticated' but because theyr'e over $20 a pound. I thought it was a waste giving that stuff to a 3 year old. But she does have good taste

8:10 pm

they make mount Tam cheese which is killer too

8:11 pm

It's an artery clogger though

8:11 pm

lots of interesting cheeses on their site - hehe, lamb chopper

8:11 pm

truffle tremor. truffle tremor is amazing!

8:12 pm

ok folks. i'm done and moving on now. have a book to read. see you tomorrow?

8:12 pm

I love black ash

8:12 pm

no no - that's bermuda triangle with the black ash

8:12 pm

i need to make a trip west - maybe i should go visit my family in lakeport :)

Foghorn Leghorn's pirate impression ..

8:44 pm

Yesterday's was worse, harp, only 55 words, but I didn't know more than 20 of them off the top of my head.

8:48 pm

I got 40 words to go, stids, can clue if you need

8:50 pm

no thanks, JB -- I am well past halfway which is my weekday goal. Just going to keep the monkeys happy for a while and watch futurama with Grant! (btw, I am no longer the parent of a teenager -- he is now 20, and Matthew is 22!)

8:51 pm

keenoat as in i'm the keenoat speaker at this spelling conference

8:51 pm

LOL Harry!

8:52 pm

I know, I've been checking up on you! Creepy that is not, because you have them on your blog :) So happy that your house is home now.

8:52 pm

I'm not going to finish this grid. 100 left and I think I'm done

8:52 pm

:-) Took a while. Yesterday was two years, and I am SO glad that "anniversary" is over! Now I feel as if I can get on with my life.

8:53 pm

85 here, Harry -- I am almost ready to turn in...

8:53 pm

I have a horrid cold and my eyes are closing

8:54 pm

I'm so happy for you, getting your teaching job, stid, and all the good things that have happened for you and your family.

8:54 pm

Oh, Harry, sorry you're not feeling well. This grid may NOT help, either! LOL for the keenoat speaker.

8:55 pm

oh, so sorry to hear that Harry -- there is something going around our school -- two kids out today!

8:55 pm

kids have all had colds, and now it's my turn. nyquil awaits!!! woohooo!!

8:55 pm

and thanks JB. I hope someday you can come see it in person. It's a lovely yard, though there is still a lot of work needed post-construction.

8:56 pm

Sounds like a thinly veiled cry for

8:56 pm

'come help me weed my yard!'

8:57 pm

LOL JB! More like "come talk to me while -I- weed!" I love to work in the yard, but must have company in case the hip gives out while I am working.

8:58 pm

Oh, so it's more like 'carry me in the house when my hip gives out'! Ha!

8:58 pm

*grin* you know me SO well!

8:59 pm

Poor stiddy, I will shuttle iced MJCLs to you all day long, and we will talk all night due to the caffeine content :)

8:59 pm

perfect! :-D

9:00 pm

how about you? how much digging out do you need to do this spring? Seems almost everywhere had more snow than we did!

9:00 pm

So glad we

9:01 pm

STOOPID keyboard! we are not in Boston! All our snow is gone, BUT we are supposed to get 3 inches tomorrow. On the first day of spring!

9:02 pm

wow. Too much! Yes, my uncle and his family who live near Boston have had WAY too much!

9:03 pm

My mother lives an hour north of Boston, and my brother lives just a few miles from her house. She was very happy to have him come snowblow the driveway this winter, and start the generator as needed.

9:04 pm

brothers come in handy, sometimes

9:04 pm

well, my tom is home and I am down to 72. I will go grade those papers, eat supper and head to sleep early.

9:04 pm

SO glad to "see" you -- hope you'll stop by frequently!

9:04 pm

He's so good to her. All the rest of us are in other states.

9:05 pm

GN again, stid, sweet Babble dreams, and may you finish your next grid!

9:05 pm

I will, promise!

9:05 pm
