4:34 am

Hello, Ruby :-)

4:35 am

((zzoozz))

4:35 am

I thought spring had arrived and it got cold and slightly Snowy again

4:36 am

Sorry to hear that. We are lucky so far as we are going to have reasonable weather all this week!

4:38 am

I eel soory for the fish, who all emerged from the depths on Sunday because it was warm, but have disappeared again

4:40 am

Well I am sure it will nnot be long now before they can re-surface and enjoy the algae!

4:42 am

and they've only been fed twice this year. There are lots of babies and one foot-long golden one with gorgeous sweeping fins

4:42 am

whe started out with é" "feeders" is now 100's of substantial fish!

4:43 am

23 feeders (tiny ones)

4:44 am

what would have cist $1:dozen in the US, cost 1€ each

4:45 am

My father used have koi karp many years ago now and they got to a huge size. Alas he had to leave them behind as he had no way of getting them to the island.

4:46 am

You could put your hand in with the food and they would take it out of your hand with a big slurp. i thought that was great!

4:47 am

aaah. Koi are much fancier and bigger, but these are very pretty and somehow (perhaps eggs in the plants?) have introduced back ones. So they are all mixed and every year there are many babies

4:48 am

I think koi are smarter than ordinary little goldfish and also more sociable but once the season gets underway, they emerge whenever someone comes near

4:48 am

I know my father used to have a seperate part for the babies and have a netting across so the other fish could not eat them. Then he would put them into the main pond when they were large enough.

4:50 am

Yes they are, Ruby. If you put your hand into the water they would swim right into the hand and you could lift them out of the water...look at them then put them back again. They would seem to be happy with that.

4:50 am

I think they eat whatever babies are born in the winter, Under the ice. They control the population that way, I think

4:51 am

I have no idea, Ruby sounds horrible I suppose that is how it is lol

4:51 am

When the water lilies start again, the pond is quite lovely.

4:52 am

Things like that don't bother me; I'm definitely hard-hearted LOL

4:52 am

I used to love it, ruby. also the sound of the water fountain going too. We used to sit there with our drinks in the Summer and just enjoy!

4:53 am

I bet you would not say that if you were swimming along and this massive mouth came towards you ready to slurp you up LOL

4:55 am

We have a deck, adjacent to the breakfast room, which overlooks the pond and garden and, at a distance, the lake. It faces South, so is usable for many months of the year

4:55 am

That sounds devine, ruby!

4:56 am

It's a lovely site (and sight). We were very Lucky to find this place when we did

4:57 am

The village has become too chic and expensive now, but in 1995 is was still affordable.

4:57 am

thrive

4:57 am

whoops, sorry

4:58 am

Funny how areas that were just a place become a must have area in the end lol

4:58 am

No worries, Ruby i think it is just you an I here and I already had that one :-)

4:59 am

I'm here too but I had that too and I just lurk!

4:59 am

And there is very little available now; all that happens is that they occasionally tear something down and construct something bigger, but my view of the lake remains unobstructed though distant

5:02 am

Hello Maisie, I ampoor at multi-tasking lol

5:02 am

three red boxes!

5:03 am

5:03 am

Hi Ruby, I think I've jinxed myself, I post something in the chat and then get red boxes

5:18 am

9:00 am

third column o is that an ou word?

9:00 am

Oh, I call bullshit on that un word.

9:01 am

extra-loving the hubs today. i get to TW today (since the ENTIRE DC METRO is shut down for over 24 hours with almost no notice) and baby wants a McGriddle. so hes going to fetch me one. :)

9:01 am

judi yeah I don't agree with it either

9:02 am

Props to baby-daddy, Eva! Whatta man!

9:02 am

And my spider sense is tingling over that DC Metro shut-down. System-wide inspection?? Bet they got a terror threat and just don't want to go public with that.

9:03 am

yeah. especially since hes STILL reeling from a weekend of food poisoning + still feels like crap!

9:04 am

4th column a?

9:05 am

eva yikes

they had a fire Monday.

9:05 am

at the metro in dc owl?

9:06 am

im not so sure, judi. we get so many terror threats, its not even worth keeping them quiet. and metro is under so much scritiny, if that came out, theyd be in even more crap than they are now. i think, honestly, the system is such a mess, they probably realized there were a LOT of issues going on, and finally decided to do the right thing by shutting it down to take care of some things. my only real criticism is that (unless there was a truly immediate risk looming) they could have given folks a little more notice to plan ahead.

yes. near where the fatal one was, and in an area where the cables that caught fire had been replaced.

9:06 am

found it

9:06 am

I heard about the shit down. They were doing safety inspections after a fire the other day. It was well publicised here in Vermont.

9:07 am

I meant shut down but shit down works too

9:07 am

Ah. Sounds like they should shut it down for more than 24 hours then.

9:07 am

nbt

9:07 am

can anyone give me stats for the 9's please?

9:07 am

lol, gramma!

if one can derat, why can't one depest?

9:09 am

they really should. it needs a total overhaul (not to mention the management as well). but alas, DC cant function without it. no metro = something like 700,000 extra people each day on the roads, which already can barely handle the numbers that already use them.

9:10 am

isn't that the truth eva

9:10 am

So true. Although, I guess buses are still running. However, traffic is such a cluster around there all the time, might as well walk.

9:11 am

ive had to take the buses when a train i was on broke down. they couldnt even accurately tell people which bus to get on to get where they needed to go. it was a clusterF.

9:11 am

judi at times walking would take you just ask long if you rode a bus drove or took the subway in the Washington metro area

my friend was actually considering applying for the project mgt job for the expansion.

it would have killed him, f or sure, with his high BP

9:11 am

Hmm. Sounds like a very stressful job, TO. Bet the unions are murder to deal with around there.

9:11 am

owl too stressful

9:12 am

stats for the 9s please?

9:13 am

2:15 pm

I had un7 that was not what you were trying to do

2:15 pm

Actually I had un7 that was what you were trying to do

No - and I didn't know it was a seven - so thanks. I don't think my mind is on this grid very well - I don't have any of the six Es in the second row, second column either.

But I have the UN now - thanks!!

May I have stats, please, for any of those pesky Es in teh second row, second column?

2:20 pm

matty only 1 e?

2:22 pm

hi byz

2:22 pm

Matty, it's hard to get just stats here. Pen even has trouble when she asks for STATS ONLY : D

2:23 pm

NA 5/16?

Yar - I could list but we're going to eat soon and (as I've mentioned before) I can't currently be arsed to open the list, copy and paste the word list in etc etc etc - at least until after dinner. And even then, I think we shall watch Fringe :)

And at least now I'm nbt/nbs

2:24 pm

<--Is a Fringe fanatic

na + the attorney introduced ***dence in the case

We only just got into it (actually, we're up to episode 4 or 5 of season 3)

We've been Fringe binging - it's excellent

2:25 pm

thanks byz

2:25 pm

I like fringe too but not with cats

2:26 pm

It is one of the best shows made for television. John Noble is fantastic as Walter Bishop.

Fringe with cats? I think that may be a reference over my head...or out of my country of residence, maybe?

John Noble is absolutely excellent as both Walter and Walternate

2:26 pm

I have no idea what Fringe with cats means.

I imagine kitties with bangs (as the Brits call bangs a fringe)

2:28 pm

I was thinking fringe as in furniture

Oh...I am hoping, when we move, for fringe free furniture (now that you mention it, our current sofa and chair does have a fringe)

But Fringe the TV series is superb - highly recommended

2:33 pm

oh yes I have heard of that show

May I have a little nudge for the er7?

2:35 pm

Something that will wear down over time

Thank you - found it!

Green anything is an American thing. So is corned beef and cabbage.

3:06 pm

Hello, Aloy

6:58 pm

any signs of Spring in your neck of the woods, Byz?

yes ... mild winter ...

7:00 pm

today I noticed the first baby leaves emerge on the "stick" I planted called the red maple tree.. am so excited! Have been careful about watering it during our prolonged dry spell.

7:01 pm

even wrote it on the calendar, lol

the snow piles are shrinking and the dirt and debris is on display

7:03 pm

ugh, I know that sight too well.. but it will all go away

good for you and the tree.

7:04 pm

ty, am doing a happy dance.. things like that are what make me happy

growing it forward ... an optimist

7:05 pm

LOL.. great way to put it!

have the orange groves started to recover from the bug?

7:14 pm

ooh, now there's a topic! We have lost maybe half of the grove to "citrus greening".. and I can tell almost all of the trees are infected to some extent.. BUT.. I can't help but marvel at how many blossoms are appearing and how many limbs are still pliable. Amazing.. it is like the trees are trying their best to survive, so we keep doing whatever we can. I know it is a losing battle, and my husband asked me why I was working so hard clearing under trees that were obviously in bad shape. My answer: "so they can die in dignity".. no more argument from him. We had a small harvest this year, but hey, we had a harvest.. we shall see what the next growing season brings. Meanwhile, I enjoy the aroma of the many many blossoms..

Hoping for the best.

7:18 pm

er 7 please?

7:19 pm

ty, Byz.. so are we. Our neighbors gave up and are now raising cattle.. they love it! The cattle graze the former orchard so Rick doesn't have to mow.. a "cow handler" takes care of almost everything.. they just provide the grazing land for "grass-raised beef" that commands a premium on the market.. they are glad to be rid of the orchard

good. just back from our island vaca and fighting a cold now.

lotsa clean water and bedrest!

hey, look at the bright side

10:53 pm

you can still afford airplane nd island vacation!

10:55 pm

I think it should be written off as a medical expense since it is a mental health necessity. I should be working now so I can afford it.

halfway done, but no nbt yet.

I need someone to commiserate with me. My work situation has become untenable. I can retire, but austerity measures would be required. Someone please tell me "go for it."

i can commiserate, but i'm not good with giving advise

You need a financial planner then ori

I think ori lives alone Bugs.. so that wouldn't be a wise move unless a planner says she can do it.

11:49 pm

maybe work part-time doing something else ori and retire?

11:50 pm

evening all. 11 minutes to do 295 words... think i'll make it? :D

11:50 pm
