hert0661isme says, hello
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hello, am I late? I am still confused
by Dayalight Savaing Time having eneded last week?
gypsycaine says, we haven't a clue.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Altho' my bad typing is not due to
Standard Time
gypsycaine says, Carole doesn't either.
hert0661isme says, it is 7:45pm here if that helps
gypsycaine says, 2.43
catlady_de_los_angeles says, It is 11"44 AM here
gypsycaine says, but that's according to Bill Gates, who doesn't
know how to keep clocks on time.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, a quarter to noon -- are we supposed
to start at noon?
hert0661isme says, i am later than in previos weeks but waited for
someone else to get here before joining
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I mane, 8 Greenwhich?
gypsycaine says, we used to start at noon.
hert0661isme says, depends which calendar we go off
gypsycaine says, kid mess
gypsycaine says, brb.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I'm trying to read the posts, i.e.
doing two things at a time, so will be inattentive to both things I
am doing
hert0661isme says, no, apologies - mis read on my part, 8pm GMT is
official start - I just turn up early
hert0661isme says, |Would not worry - I am working
gypsycaine says, so I stick with 3pm either way?
gypsycaine says, (which is in 15 minutes?)
gypsycaine says, (has to check wantads...lol)
gypsycaine says, Hey, Rita, this is off-topic, but do you know what
an Caberet Sauvignon is?
hert0661isme says, red wine
gypsycaine says, red wine?
hert0661isme says, cabernet sauvingnon is red wine
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Cabernet Sauvignon is possibly the
most prestigeois of the red wine grapes
gypsycaine says, I got sent two bottles of CA Cabernet Sauvignon
this week.
hert0661isme says, Any of a family of vines, esp. Cabernet
Sauvignon (see SAUVIGNON 1b), yielding grapes used in wine-making;
the grape of these vines. Also, wine made from Cabernet grapes.
hert0661isme says, from OED
gypsycaine says, I was hoping to open one during the chat.
gypsycaine says,
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I wish I was there to share the vino
hert0661isme says, Short for Cabernet-Sauvignon, a black grape of
France; also the red wine made from this grape.
gypsycaine says, I am opening the 1999. The 1998 stays under the
sink.
hert0661isme says, same here - better than this work
hert0661isme says, both bits quoted above are from the OED online
(Oxford English Dictionary) - a useful resource
gypsycaine says, I noticed.
gypsycaine says, I can't afford it. I use www.dictionary.com
gypsycaine says, lol
catlady_de_los_angeles says, A lifteime ago, before I was taking
medication that is supposed to forbid alcohol, my favorite red was
the Fetzer Cabernet Sauvignon -- I guess it was 79 then, so the 77
was the one that was on release
gypsycaine says, The brandname is Presido Heights.
hert0661isme says, I only use it as get free access through uni
gypsycaine says, This is my first upper end wine.
gypsycaine says, Usually I have to resort to the 3.99 bottles....
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I've never heard of Presidio Heights
(obviously named after the Presidio, the huge park and two-century-
old military base in San Francisco)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Did that go thrrought wtice?
hert0661isme says, well obviously! (where?)
blaise_42 enters
gypsycaine says, Nope, but there's on the back of the bottle
(vinted and bottled by Presidio Heights Vintners, Los Angeles,
California)
blaise_42 says, hi
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I keep thinking that the Presidio is
on the SF side of Golden Gate Bridge, but logic suggests that what I
am thinking of is Golden Gate park
gypsycaine says, still haven't a clue how to open it..
gypsycaine says, Hi Blaise!
hert0661isme says, hello
gypsycaine says, I guess I get to destroy it to find out! LOL
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee, go to a decent store and buy a
cork-puller, which is a device that has two metal strips facing ieach
other
gypsycaine says, It's got a cork! WOW!
gypsycaine says, No, I couldn't figure out how to get to the cork,
lol.
gypsycaine says, I am used to twist off.
hert0661isme laughs hysterically.
gypsycaine says, sighs. I am so welfare.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and each metal strip slides between
the cork and bottle (like shoe horn) so between the two their are
embracking iti
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and then you pull up on the handle
that the two strips are attached to, and it pulls the cork out
without breaking it
gypsycaine says, all I have right now is a squiggly thing that is
from the '60s.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (for which reason this device was
nicknamed 'butler's friend', i.e. leaving no evidence that the bottle
was previously opened)
gypsycaine says, (ow.)
gypsycaine says, LOL.
gypsycaine says, i can imagine.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, the squiggly thing (named corkscrew,
and the one on my Swiss Army Knife sucks petrified dinosaur eggs
through a straw) damages the cork
catlady_de_los_angeles says, sometimes the damage is enough that
the cork entirely desintegrates
gypsycaine says, so I screw the squirly thing in...
gypsycaine says, I figured it did.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, which, worse than not being able to
close the bottle again (some people would just drink the whole
bottle), a million crumbs of cork fall in tho the wine and ruin its
taste!
gypsycaine says, the cork's already cracking a bit.
gypsycaine says, I have it half out, though.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Blaise, I WASN"T ignoring you!
blaise_42 says, hehe, that's ok
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Simon, I wasn't ignoring you in re
Presidio, either......
blaise_42 says, I've been looking at email and otherwise ignoring
discussion of corkscrews
gypsycaine says, Thanks Rita, it came out whole and intact.
gypsycaine says, and re-usuable (at least for this time....
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I know you're in Britain and may never
have visited USA and wouldn't expect you to get Los Angeles
references like San Berandion Freeway
blaise_42 says, am feeling embarrassed as I study classics and do not
know what you mean by in re presidio
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Bernardino. This time typing matters.
gypsycaine says, It's the wine I am drinking.
gypsycaine says, It's vintner is Presido Heights.
blaise_42 says, I was born in the USA, thank you
gypsycaine says, Here goes... Cheers.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Oh, the wine was named Presidio
Heights, and I said it must be named after The Presidio in San
Francisco
blaise_42 says, cheers
gypsycaine says, oh, ack.
blaise_42 says, aha. there's a latin word praesidio, it confused me
gypsycaine says, I guess this might not be a bottle of wine that I
like.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee! It can't have turned to vinegar
just since '99!
siriusgeologist enters
gypsycaine says, I like sweet wines.
siriusgeologist says, hi guys
siriusgeologist says, oooo are we talking wine?
hert0661isme says, hello
hert0661isme says, maybe it might not be the wine for you
catlady_de_los_angeles says, The Presidio is a HUGE green park and
three-century-old military base, and Presidio is what it was named by
the Spanish who founded it
blaise_42 says, Peeves/Jeremy says hi. He can't get into the room
gypsycaine says, I didn't choose it... (Actually never had heard
of it before!)
siriusgeologist says, argh...and I finally have speakers!!!!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, there are smaller Presidios in
Monterey (the Spanish capital of Alta California)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and Santa Barbara
hert0661isme says, it took me a ccouple of attempts
gypsycaine says, my words aren't appearing?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, But I thought everyone would have
heard of the Presidio in San Francisco, I thought every English-
speaking person knows San Francisco, where
siriusgeologist says, tell him to click on the "chat"in the menu
rather than the chat on the home page
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Tony Bennet left his heart decades
before the Summer of Love
changeling_de enters
blaise_42 says, Carole - his soundcard isn't working anyway so you're
not missing that much
siriusgeologist says, ahhhhh bummer....
gypsycaine says, it's not sweet at all.
gypsycaine says, ??
gypsycaine says, Hi Carole!
peeves23 enters
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I got into the chat room on first try
today, but one or two of my mssgs didn't appear on my view of the
room, and I had that problem so much last week that I changed back to
Yahoo chat last week
siriusgeologist says, hi what wine are we talking...I love wine
hert0661isme says, hello
peeves23 says, hurrah
changeling_de says, Hello there
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Carole, hi jeremy, hi changelng
(cristina?)
changeling_de says, Yes
siriusgeologist says, and I got speakers just for you jeremy
changeling_de says, I could use some help from a Cheetachat expert
gypsycaine says, and once again, I am having horrid lag!
peeves23 says, Sorry, carol, but my computer broke down yesterday
peeves23 says, and the soundcard isnt working yet!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, It is a CA Cabernet Sauvignon that
someone gave Dee as a gift. It is named Presidio Heights, but has a
label about bottled in Los Angeles -- a combination of name and
geography that does not give me a good feeling
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I had a big lag at the same time you
did
siriusgeologist says, ahh well....maybe some future time
siriusgeologist says, I like a good cabernet, but if they are calling
it a northern CA wine and its bottled in southern CA...yeah thats not
good
catlady_de_los_angeles says, But there is a label named Raymond
Hill, a most un-encouraging geographic locale: except it is the label
that Trader Joe uses when they bought up some big-name vine
gypsycaine says, any suggestions?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, on the condition that they don't
reveal from whom they bought it
gypsycaine says, first question, can I re-cork and stick this
sucker under the sink?
changeling_de leaves
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee said she likes sweet wine. THere
is a Sutter Home Muscat Amiable (don't trust my spelling) which I
adored back in the days when I wasn't forbidden to drink alcolhol
blaise_42 says, who is changeling?
changeling_de enters
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I *think* changeling is Cristina but
she needs to comfirm that
peeves23 says, why are you forbidden to drink alcohol?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, interaction with medications
hert0661isme says, she did confirm it (i think
changeling_de says, Yes, I'm Christina
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I cheat a *little*
hert0661isme cheers enthusiastically.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Christina
changeling_de says, Sorry, but I'm trying to get Cheetachat to run
without much success
catlady_de_los_angeles says, The Muscat Amiable is tasty,
reminiscent of fruit, and swwet, reminiscent of dessert, and the only
problem is one's friends teasing one for
gypsycaine says, I like fruity wines.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, drinking 'muscatel', famed beverages
of wino bums on the street
gypsycaine says, I have a wonderful elderberry wine in there.
gypsycaine says, (again, it's 3.99, lol!)
siriusgeologist says, merlot is my current fav
catlady_de_los_angeles says, If sweet is your things, you might
like to drink cream sherry, like Harvey's Bristol Cream
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Merlot is the sibling of Cabernet
Sauvignon
gypsycaine says, just waiting to see if I can stick this under the
sink.
gypsycaine says, I don't like White Zinadel
gypsycaine says, it's too dry.
gypsycaine says, (sp)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Experts say that the kitchen is a bad
place to keep wine because kitches are warm and warm encourages wine
to turn into vinegar
gypsycaine says, perhaps a future visitor might like it, lol. Or I
will dump it down the sink!
hert0661isme says, i like that white zinfadel stuff - even if it is
not white
siriusgeologist says, I like white zin..although its a bit too sweet
for me
changeling_de leaves
gypsycaine says, ok... (Wonder if that other bottle of CV is going
to be the same?)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, As it is not an impressive wine, you
can put it in the refrigerator
hert0661isme says, white wine has a scale of 1 (dry) to 9 (sweet)
and I consider 2 to be too sweet!
changeling_de enters
hert0661isme says, but being a student I am not too fusy!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Merlot is the sibling of Cabernet
Sauvignon (two breeds of red wine grape). IIRC, in France, Burgundy
is made from 85% Cabernet Sauvignon with 15% Merlot
siriusgeologist says, simon did my explanation of radicals make sense?
changeling_de leaves
blaise_42 says, radicals? what sort?
gypsycaine says, the other brand I stuck in the refridge too. It's
from someplace called "Bellasera".
hert0661isme says, yes - remembered that one of my lecturers had
also used the term - most would call them surds
changeling_de enters
siriusgeologist says, student radicals...hehehehehehe...no radicals
as in roots...surds? never heard of that
catlady_de_los_angeles says, So the California and Oregon labelling
laws, which require varietal wines to be made of what they say on the
label, allow wine labelled Cabernet Sauvignon to comtain up to a
specified percentage of MErlot
changeling_de leaves
gypsycaine says, (it's bottled in someplace called Morgan, CA)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, surd. that has something to do with
taking square roots of numbers, and the surd is .... Arabic for
root?, the number under the check mark thingy?
hert0661isme says, surd = mathematical quantity that cannot be
expressed in a fintie way (so also includes pi and e)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, oh, like Ab-Surd
blaise_42 says, was thinking of free radicals in chemistry actually
siriusgeologist says, hmmm see what I learn from this group! can I
bill this as research?..
catlady_de_los_angeles says, free radical in chemistry = positive
ion that roams around stealing electrons from mlecules???
gypsycaine says, i always wonder if there was any sweet red wines?
gypsycaine says, brb. dumping this goblet into the drain, then
refilling with my kind...
hert0661isme says, can I bill it as research to you?
blaise_42 says, if I recall correctly, yes
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Port, I think
siriusgeologist says, Ahh yes those free radicals hanging about the
chemistry dept.
hert0661isme says, port and stilton
siriusgeologist says, They've got to be dressed in tiedye
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I suspect that Gewurtztraminer would
be too sweet for Carole and too dry for Dee
hert0661isme says, my mate is writing a computer program as his
forth year chemistry project!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I encountered it at a Wine Potluck
Part and fell in love
siriusgeologist says, yes gewurtz.....is too sweet for my taste
catlady_de_los_angeles says, it's not a sparkling wine, but it
TASTES like sparkles..... ahh, memory
changeling_de enters
gypsycaine says, I like that one kind of champagne...
gypsycaine says, Asti something.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Asti Spumante
gypsycaine says, and I now have half a gob of (yes, that's it,
thanks Rita) Elderberry.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I remember it used to have TV ads,
back when I was a child and watched TV
peeves23 leaves
gypsycaine says, I also like Pear wine..
catlady_de_los_angeles says, There used to be this fabulouse Pear
Wine frm Oregon
gypsycaine says, I wonder what kind of wine the magic community
drinks?
gypsycaine says, I can't find Pear wine in the area...
gypsycaine says, unless I go to the winery itself.
changeling_de says, elderberry, IIRC
catlady_de_los_angeles says, The name of the vinyard (which mostly
does serious grape wine) is on the tip of my toungue, they also made
a rhubarb wine
siriusgeologist says, pumpkin wine?
gypsycaine says, (IIRC?)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, but they DISCONTINUED the pear and
rhybarb wines?
peeves23 enters
peeves23 says, hi
peeves23 says, soundcard working but now IE is being uncooperative
changeling_de says, if I remember correctly
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Well, I am trying to write a long
story about Lily and James, in which I have already written what I
thought was the end (But it turns out there is moe later) which is a
Halloween Party with spciced pumpkin brandy

flying_ford_anglia says, Evening all...
flying_ford_anglia says, I used a time-turner...
siriusgeologist says, hey neil
catlady_de_los_angeles says, We have beent talkig abaout wine
because someone gave Dee a bottle of wine that was a big
disappointment
gypsycaine picks up a pillow off the couch, and walks over to where
she bonks Neil in the head with it repeatedly until the feathers
fly! <<<<<-----
flying_ford_anglia says, This is a sore point with me...
flying_ford_anglia says, I need to know about wine, and I know very
little..
gypsycaine hands Neil...
hert0661isme says, hello
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Dee, that technique of courtship is
normally used only by ten-year-olds!
gypsycaine ....the pillow
gypsycaine says, courtship?
gypsycaine says, was doing it as a greeting!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hitting a person because you like them
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm glad she doesn't dislike me - she might
use something harder!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, OH, EUROPEAN wine..... we were talking
about CA, OR, and wherever Dee is from, wine
gypsycaine says, a flying frying pan?
flying_ford_anglia says, Ouch - I can feel it now...
gypsycaine says, (Ohio, which actually I wasn't talking about... I
mentioned Boones, and company...)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, car and frying pan fly off togethe

voicelady_2000 says, yup
gypsycaine says, I don't bother to figure it out.
flying_ford_anglia says, Hi Jeralyn (is that right?)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, who said amish wine?
gypsycaine says, one sec, and I'll get the name.
voicelady_2000 says, Jeralyn is correct!
flying_ford_anglia says, As featured in ASA!
voicelady_2000 says, one and the same...sort of.
siriusgeologist says, hi..or should we call you Roma?
flying_ford_anglia says, ...old news, I guess
voicelady_2000 says, actually, I have dibs on that part!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Roma????
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm a bit behind with ASA - must catch up...
siriusgeologist says, we used her name but Voiceladies much nicer....
gypsycaine says, still very behind.
gypsycaine says, haven't read it yet
gypsycaine says, and still haven't read POU last chapter.
voicelady_2000 blushes
flying_ford_anglia says, Neil wants the pillow now...
siriusgeologist says, we just put out chapter 10

voicelady_2000 says, Beatles were her favorite.
gypsycaine says, Here's a few lines from our inside discussion on
Ohio wines and Amish wines from the club Cakes and Ales.

siriusgeologist says, Next chapter will feature Jeralyn prominently
changeling_de enters

voicelady_2000 says, coooooool
siriusgeologist says, hehehehehehe
catlady_de_los_angeles says, what is a pain, posting sentences line

flying_ford_anglia says, Beatles were one of her faves - she actually
chose The Tchaikovsky as the one piece she would take to the island
and the Mozart as her fave music ever...
gypsycaine says, yes.
gypsycaine says, I am using notepad to Un-separate them.
siriusgeologist says, yes that was interesting..being a beatles and
mozart fan myself
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and said there was never any classical
music in the home she grew up in: I read all the posted reports on
HPfG
changeling_de says, Hello again, it's Christina, who wants to throw
her computer out the window.
gypsycaine says, Angeliquestill, have you ever had any of the wines
from Mon Ami or from Lonz? They are both very fine and very
reasonably priced. But my local Ohio favorite is Black Pearl wine
from Steuk's winery. Hard to find, a bit expensive for my pocketbook,
but it's heaven in a
siriusgeologist says, Bach is my classical fav
gypsycaine says, glass! Atropa ****** You must get some
Brittenbauch Amish Country wine (about $10). The dandelion is devine!
Roadhouse Red is Welches with a kick. Cherry is verry sour, so watch
out. If you people are going to make me fat, I'm going to make you
drunks
flying_ford_anglia says, She taught herself about classical music.
gypsycaine says, there.
voicelady_2000 says, I like Debussy
gypsycaine says, Handel.
gypsycaine says, I bought "Water Music" on accident.
voicelady_2000 says, I'm already a drunk, Gupsy!
gypsycaine says, I thought it was water-music, like a running brook.
gypsycaine says, LOL
peeves23 says, the only classical piece of music I've heard that
really made me go "wow" was The Lark Ascending by vaughn williams,
but then I havent listened to very much
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm not a classical music fan really... I
like Sibelius..
gypsycaine says, I sorta liked it, and it got me into the world of
classical music.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, No, it was music to be played by
employee musicians in a boat next to the boat in which the employer
is throwing a party
catlady_de_los_angeles says, On the Thames, rather than in Marina
del Rey
flying_ford_anglia says, Holst's Planets is good
gypsycaine says, Never knew that Rita. Thanks.
gypsycaine says, Just knew I liked it.
siriusgeologist says, Music was the one arts class I took in
college...reall;y enjoyed it
gypsycaine says, I will prolly spell this wrong, but I think my
favorite is Aire on a G-string?
flying_ford_anglia says, Air
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Handel also wrote some Fireworks Music
to be played at the king's fireworks show
flying_ford_anglia says, That was used to sell cigars over here
gypsycaine says, serious?
gypsycaine says, lol.
flying_ford_anglia says, Hamlet Cigars
voicelady_2000 chuckles in amusement
heiditandy enters
catlady_de_los_angeles says, 2B^ -2B?
heiditandy says, hi all!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Hi, Heidi
gypsycaine says, btw, here's the link to the food club where we
were discussing wines: http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/cakesandale
flying_ford_anglia says, Heidi, hi!

heiditandy says, here whiule baby is on a walk with his grandma
changeling_de says, Hi
hert0661isme ducks out of the way.
gypsycaine says, mine conked in the chair.
hert0661isme says, large firework just went off nearby!
siriusgeologist says, mine is on my lap trying to press keys
flying_ford_anglia says, You're all pretty quiet
heiditandy says, mine never conks out (except for 20 - 30 minutes
between 10:45 and 11:30)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, There's a Nancy Levovitz button that
says To Be or Not To Be = (square root symbole) of 4B2 (superscript)
gypsycaine says, (just sipping my elderberries, Neil~lol)
gypsycaine says, I love it.
voicelady_2000 says, I'm just listening.
flying_ford_anglia says, We had more fireworks last night...I guess
Sunday isn't the best night for it.
gypsycaine says, I am going to lift that and send it to a friend
when the chat is published, Rita.
hert0661isme says, am doing my work
gypsycaine says, he's the same guy who tells me E=mc (superscript)y
hert0661isme says, also raining here
heiditandy leaves
flying_ford_anglia says, We're expecting more gales tomorrow...and
floods. I'm so glad I live on a hill.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I suppose Nancy Levovitz has a web
site to sell her buttons, altho' I'v never seen it
catlady_de_los_angeles says, More hurricanes?
voicelady_2000 says, Not raining here, but it's pretty cold today.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, That could be a problem for the tour.
flying_ford_anglia says, Probably
gypsycaine says, oh, please, no tour, until I get a job?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Besides, us-uns worry about you-uns
when we hear the storm news
gypsycaine says, and have put enough time in for vacatioN?
flying_ford_anglia says, This current weather is ...unusual.
hert0661isme says, storm on the way - according to earlier weather
forcast
peeves23 says, JKR likes the smiths! hurah!
peeves23 says, *hurrah
hert0661isme says, I do not like seeing how high the river already
is
catlady_de_los_angeles says, but when you school kids get jobs, you
will have to stay at your jobs working instead of taking time off to
travel
voicelady_2000 says, You guys have been having a pretty bad time
weather-wise lately.
hert0661isme says, the ground floor of the building I am in has
flooded before!
flying_ford_anglia says, They reckon the NE will escape, but the rest
of the country will be windswept...
siriusgeologist says, yuk
blaise_42 says, yes, it's rather worrying. we have the Cherwell at
the bottom of our gardens
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Yeah, didn't this stuff happen three
years ago as well as in 1987?
flying_ford_anglia says, I've changed my mind about moving to
Docklands...
gypsycaine says, (docklands?)
blaise_42 says, oh, Catlady, was amazed you knew about Sevenoaks/One
Oak. I live there
hert0661isme says, I can see the Isis from my room
You tell teen_x_pic_on_profile Will be back later
catlady_de_los_angeles says, The floods and winds three years ago
were connected with the climactic battle of book seven????
siriusgeologist leaves
siriusgeologist enters
flying_ford_anglia says, 1987 was the big hurricane. We lost loads
of trees - that was worse than this time. This time it's the floods
that are the problem, and the fact that the rail system is in a
state - cracked rails everywhere...
voicelady_2000 says, I hope you don't have to travel anywhere.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Sevenoaks/One Oak was on the news as
an interesting/dramatic detail. They SAID acorns from the fallen six
would be planted to replace them, and my friend said it should be
acorns from the one left standing, it clearly has bettter genes
peeves23 says, lol
flying_ford_anglia says, Docklands is the redevelopment are on the
Thames - it's where tHe MIllennium Dome is and the Canary Wharf tower
(tallest building in Europe).
blaise_42 says, oh, they've been replanted, then the young trees got
vandalised and they were replanted again
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Was it this summer just ended that
France had the big hurricans and lost myriad trees, including those
planted by Marie Antoinette's own hands?
flying_ford_anglia says, are=area
gypsycaine says, thanks.
flying_ford_anglia says, I have to get to work tomorrow...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, But in 1987 Harry was still living
with the Muggles so the storm wasn't connected with his adventures
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Neil, don't run away from us so fast!
hert0661isme says, my dad has been unable to get into work a few
days this week
voicelady_2000 says, I'm surprised business haven;t closed down for a
bit.
flying_ford_anglia says, I was referring to having to use the rail
network. I'm not going yet...
flying_ford_anglia says, We virtually closed down. I was on holiday,
but only two staff managed to get in...
gypsycaine says, sounds like us when there's a blizzard.
flying_ford_anglia says, Problem is, most of our clients are in the
US...
flying_ford_anglia says, so we have to be there.
voicelady_2000 says, Can't you telecommute?
gypsycaine says, I'm hoping to do that eventually....
flying_ford_anglia says, I wish i could apparate to work..
flying_ford_anglia says, You mean teleworking, right?
voicelady_2000 says, As a temp, I have to go where the work is.
Bummer.
gypsycaine says, i just want to work right now...
siriusgeologist says, Yes I really want to learn how to
apparate...and disapparate too
voicelady_2000 says, Yeah, teleworking - working from home.
flying_ford_anglia says, it helps to be able to come out at the other
end!
changeling_de says, Just having a wand and knowing a few household
spells would do for me.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, ha-ha Dee: I've been wishing that I
could retire! (not for 30 more years, yuck)
flying_ford_anglia says, You are retiring at 73 Rita?
siriusgeologist says, me too
flying_ford_anglia says, I want to retire at 60...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Age to collect Social Security will
have been raised to 72 by that time
hert0661isme says, i want to retire now
flying_ford_anglia says, Hmmmm
catlady_de_los_angeles says, My own savings don't grow like they're
supposed to
gypsycaine says, i need the job to retire!
voicelady_2000 says, Invest!
flying_ford_anglia says, Simon, you haven't started yet!
gypsycaine says, I really wouldn't mind working for Time/Warner
cable.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, So Simon wants to be an independent
scholar
gypsycaine says, aren't those tentured Professors?
flying_ford_anglia says, A kept man, perhaps?
hert0661isme says, not enough brains for the scholar lark
hert0661isme says, work seems far too complicated
hert0661isme says, house husband
voicelady_2000 says, We'll find you a sugar-mama, Simon.
flying_ford_anglia says, Work to live, don't live to work...
changeling_de says, I'd like to have 10 or 15 years of retirement now
and then work till I drop dead.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, 'independent' scholar: self-
supporting, usually pays for own research (so it's better for
historians than for particle physicists)
flying_ford_anglia says, That's a good idea1
catlady_de_los_angeles says, independent scholar -- that
catlady_de_los_angeles says, that's what Liberal Arts is about
hert0661isme says, maths and research money are not commonly said
in the same sentence (unless teh word not is involved!)
hert0661isme This chat will be saved and posted on the E-group:
http://www.egroups.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts
gypsycaine says, let's see.
gypsycaine says, He cooks, does he clean?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, fields of study suitable for free men
(liberiri?) i.e. not slaves i.e. not having to work for a living
gypsycaine says, (aka is Simon good fodder to be a house-elf?)
hert0661isme says, clean - if I must
hert0661isme says, have cleaners in uni residence and mother at
home!
blaise_42 says, lol
flying_ford_anglia says, Does he shut his ears in the oven door?
voicelady_2000 says, Ouch!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, LOL, neil
hert0661isme says, no - it would hurt!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, how do you punish yourself in ways
that don't hurt???
gypsycaine says, honestly, I wouldn't mind being a mama to someone
I could depend on.
gypsycaine says, the problem is the men I get with aren't
dependable!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, You can't afford him
gypsycaine says, no, not now....lol
voicelady_2000 says, Keep looking - good guys are out there!
flying_ford_anglia says, Bad lads are always more sexy, eh?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, No, it's that the good ones are
already taken
gypsycaine says, it's not even that.
blaise_42 says, depends who you ask
voicelady_2000 says, The older a woman gets, the less appealing bad
boys are.
gypsycaine says, (LOL Rita!)
peeves23 says, hehe
gypsycaine says, it's they seem drawn to me.
siriusgeologist says, I'm with voicelady...
hert0661isme flirts.
voicelady_2000 says, The trick is to stop looking, and suddenly the
good men are just there!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Oh, you may have a neon sign hanging
over your head
catlady_de_los_angeles says, saying "I will put up with any amount
of garbage"
catlady_de_los_angeles says, or some other message that is
attractive to that kind
gypsycaine says, I'm a Queen of Cups...
gypsycaine says, maybe that's it.
gypsycaine says,
catlady_de_los_angeles says, supposedly the solution is to take
down the neon sign, but I find that easier said than done
flying_ford_anglia says, Play hard to get... but not impossible
gypsycaine says, istopped playing
voicelady_2000 says, lol!
changeling_de yells "Hey Kool-aid!" and crashes into a brick wall
hert0661isme looks puzzled.
changeling_de says, Oops!
flying_ford_anglia says, Can't follow that...
voicelady_2000 says, Did you hit the wrong emotion?
changeling_de says, Sorry, a book fell on my mouse.
flying_ford_anglia says, My mouse has a sticky ball... very annoying
gypsycaine says, that's bettter than a mouse falling on a book.
gypsycaine says, take it out, and plop it into a cup of windex.
voicelady_2000 says, That sounds...umm...very..., well, you know...
flying_ford_anglia says, Windex?
changeling_de says, There are no mice on my shelves, though.
changeling_de says, I hope.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, window cleaner with ammonia, usually
in a spray bottle
catlady_de_los_angeles says, windex is a brand name used as a
generic
flying_ford_anglia says, Should I drop the ball in there, or the
whole mouse?
gypsycaine says, LOL
gypsycaine says, the ball.
changeling_de says, Does that work?
voicelady_2000 says, Oh, you're killing me!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, altho' I suppose it could be the
incantation for the window cleaner spell
changeling_de says, I have to try that spell!
flying_ford_anglia says, Perhaps if i give the bull a rub...
gypsycaine says, at least, voicelady, I didn't say whip it out....
changeling_de says, Or do I need a wand for it?
voicelady_2000 says, Stop it! I can't take anymore! LOL
flying_ford_anglia says, it will revive.
flying_ford_anglia says, I meant ball - where did that bull come from?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, have you guys seen the IBM service
tech memo about the domestic and foreign mouse balls?
changeling_de says, With mouth to mouth?
gypsycaine says, yes, I have...
gypsycaine says, lol.
gypsycaine says, Forgive me, vl.
flying_ford_anglia says, i could suck on it like a gobstopper..hmmmm
gypsycaine says, I have to say it, though.
voicelady_2000 says, [whimper]
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Neil, this is not a bestiality
newsgroup
gypsycaine says, when I first got my computer, the gentleman
installing it showed me how to take apart the mouse, and said if it
needed cleaned, to suck on it.
voicelady_2000 groans loudly
flying_ford_anglia says, I'll try it then.
gypsycaine says, Pop it into my mouth, etc, and it would be clean.
voicelady_2000 says, just like a contact lens
flying_ford_anglia says, Gets rid of the fluff and hairs, eh?
changeling_de says, Yuck!
gypsycaine says, not allowed.
gypsycaine looks for her cat line?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Human mouths are filthy. Bites from
humans get infected from all the germs that cane with them
flying_ford_anglia says, Who mentioned cats?
voicelady_2000 says, I was thinking it.
gypsycaine says, I use windex....
flying_ford_anglia says, Aren't toilet seats meant to be cleaner than
human mouths?
gypsycaine says, I've heard that too Neil.
voicelady_2000 says, eeewwwww, gross
changeling_de says, But you don't feel germs on your tongue like hair.
flying_ford_anglia says, Not that I've made the comparison myself...
gypsycaine says, (I actually did say, no cats here, but it never
showed!)
peeves23 says, neil - maybe, but which wouldyou rather french kiss? ;-
)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, worse is Komodo Dragon (big monitor
lizard). Its mouth is so filthy that it bites its prey not bad enough
to knock the prey down, the prey escapes
changeling_de says, I'm only grossed out by things I can see or feel.
The rest I ignore.
flying_ford_anglia says, Euch!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and then dies of the infection in the
wound, and some convenient dragon scavagnes the corpse
flying_ford_anglia says, I've been quite intimate with my toilet
bowl, but no tongues...
gypsycaine . o O ( Rita, I am bad, very uncouth. Now I have the
munchies, so I grabbed the box of Nilla wafers. I think this is a
dessert wine!) )
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I got that from an article in
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN about research on Komodo dragons, and they are
GROSS in every way, including smelling so bad
voicelady_2000 says, Wine and 'nilla wafers, hmmm
gypsycaine . o O ( feels like Rizzo )
catlady_de_los_angeles says, that the first several grad students
who paid their way to (Indonesia??), gave up and went home
flying_ford_anglia says, I won't get a komodo dragon as a pet then
gypsycaine says, i won't get any lizard as a pet.
gypsycaine says, not for years.
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm pretty cold-blooded myself
gypsycaine says, (hamster, maybe....
gypsycaine says, hamster, maybe....
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Momcat (that's Diane Lee) has two
bearded monitors among her herps, which are MUCH smaller than Komodo
dragons and don't smell as bad
gypsycaine wonders where her lines are going?
gypsycaine sneaks up on the Yahoo server, and beats it until it
releases her lines...

voicelady_2000 says, Hi Mike!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, pull 'em out and drop them in Windex
catlady_de_los_angeles says, or rub them to revive them or suck
them like gobstoppers
voicelady_2000 says, hee hee hee
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Mike, you posted something about
growing up in Sicily?
changeling_de says, Dare I ask what gobstoppers are?
€ Aberforths_Goat says, Yes indeed
flying_ford_anglia says, Big round sweets...
voicelady_2000 says, Gobstoppers are like jawbreakers
peeves23 says, aw. i was about to make something amusing
peeves23 says, up
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Mike, I was confused by that because I
thought your (non Goatish) name was American or British?
€ Aberforths_Goat says, It is (Mike Gray) but I grew up in the
U.S. , UK, Hungary & Italy, studied in Holland and married a Swiss
changeling_de says, Make up something anyway. I'll pick my favorite
then.
gypsycaine says, WIlly Wonka.
voicelady_2000 says, An international man!
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Were your parents missionarys too?
€ Aberforths_Goat says, Yes. Why "too"?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, i thought you were a missioanry
peeves23 says, gobstoppers are... large aprioots filled with
succulent horseflesh
flying_ford_anglia says, Er?
peeves23 says, do try to keep up, neil. ;-)
catlady_de_los_angeles says, gobstoppers are .... a kind of bathtub
drain stopper made of stones wrapped in leather
peeves23 says, or alternatively, never mind
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm not in the mood
catlady_de_los_angeles says, which gets all moldy and nasty from
being wet
gypsycaine says, i like the WW version, thank you.
voicelady_2000 says, Gobstoppers are pacifiers for adults.
gypsycaine says, the rest wouldn't make it into my mouth!

siriusgeologist says, whats the title
flying_ford_anglia says, I can't keep up with all the fanfic...
princessspinnet says, *rushes off to ff/n to check it out*
cassandraclaire73 says, i don't read enough MWPP fics to get all the
jokes, tho
€ Aberforths_Goat says, What do you read Neil?
hert0661isme says, what is mary sue and which fic has overtones of
it?
cassandraclaire73 says, alicia, stay!
princessspinnet says, double browser window, my dear cassie.
blaise_42 says, ah, mwpp are the only kind to read! ;-)
cassandraclaire73 says, so clever you are
flying_ford_anglia says, What do I read - what fanfic, ot books?
flying_ford_anglia says, or books?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Mary-Sue is a fic which is a wish
fulfillment fantasy of the autthor
€ Aberforths_Goat says, Fanfic
cassandraclaire73 says, i know, i should read more. i've only read
rave's and hyphens
siriusgeologist says, bryter layter...simon
cassandraclaire73 says, you mean anika's a mary sue?
flying_ford_anglia says, I've read PoU and ASA..
blaise_42 says, anika is borderline MS I think
hert0661isme says, which still leaves the who is mary sue question?
€ Aberforths_Goat says, Same here. I'm toying the idea of starting
the Draco ones too
catlady_de_los_angeles says, (Anika = Mary-Sue) Yes, but I keep
telling myself that being half=sidh excues it
siriusgeologist says, yes anika...borderline
princessspinnet says, mary sues... *vomits dinner* i write them, yet
refuse to read them. hypocritical but amazingly fun.
flying_ford_anglia says, and will read DD and DS when i get a
moment...
cassandraclaire73 says, *grins* don't rush, there's rather a lot of it
flying_ford_anglia says, I trust the taste of the people in PoU
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Mary-Sue is a fanfic which is a wish
fullment fantasy of the author, 'Mary-Sue' is a generic name for the
author's inserted self character-
flying_ford_anglia says, Also, some of Catlady's stuff ...
blaise_42 says, good with mint sauce, Neil?
voicelady_2000 says, You & me both, Neil. I only read what's been
recommended by this bunch.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Who is beautiful and talented and does
heroic things and everyone fall in love with her
princessspinnet says, the male version is "marty stu".
cassandraclaire73 says, well slogging about on ff.net is a bit
thankless
hert0661isme says, dont have time to read just the stuff
recommended around here - not helped by trying to read books as well
cassandraclaire73 says, without any recommendations to guide one
princessspinnet says, it's a bit like gold mining.
cassandraclaire73 says, give up on the books, simon, thats my advice
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I kind of like Bryter Layter, altho'
so far I don't share Cassandra's adoration of it, but I desperately
HATE the Tanith Lee novel SILVER METAL LOVER
hert0661isme says, give up on Terry Pratchett?
siriusgeologist says, yes it is hard to insert an original character
that is not...just don't make her everyon's girlfriend and able to do
everything
cassandraclaire73 says, i am hate that book too, rita.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, because it is SUCH A MARY-SUE
flying_ford_anglia says, Has anyone read peg's books?
cassandraclaire73 says, i suppose i am not objective about BL
voicelady_2000 says, Yes!
€ Aberforths_Goat says, How are they??
blaise_42 says, it is very much possible to introduce female
characters who aren't mary sues
hert0661isme says, have copy of EHR on order - wiating for it to
arrive
voicelady_2000 says, Everyone should be required to read both of
them, especially The Wild Swans.
catlady_de_los_angeles says, Lee loves SILVER METAL LOVER,
considering it to be poetic and tragic
cassandraclaire73 says, it's possible, it's just hard when they're a
love interest
hert0661isme says, will read tws if i like the first
voicelady_2000 says, They are soooooo good. Peg's books, I mean.
cassandraclaire73 says, i found it tedious and annoying (SML)
flying_ford_anglia says, I'd heard of The Wild Swans before, but
hadn't read it...
princessspinnet says, I'm still slogging through my school
assignments-- I can keep up with STNE, ASA and DS. Really about it,
no time for books! *sigh*
cassandraclaire73 says, where's your new stuff, alicia?
€ Aberforths_Goat says, I'll be in the U.S. on vacation for three
weeks: where can I buy Peg's books?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I didn't find SML tedious (maybe I
liked the same poetry as Lee) but the annoyance was that
siriusgeologist says, I really liked Emerald house and just bought
Wild Swans
princessspinnet says, new stuff?
cassandraclaire73 says, not counting dexter?
voicelady_2000 says, You can get Peg's books at just about any big
chain store.
princessspinnet says, langusihing in MS Word.
flying_ford_anglia says, I think I'll order both on Amazon
siriusgeologist says, any large book store should have them
princessspinnet says, I'm trying desperately to get to the library.
flying_ford_anglia says, I can't find them here in the UK...
blaise_42 says, no, they've not been published here
hert0661isme says, I have first on order from whsmithonline
flying_ford_anglia says, I might try the SciFi/Fantasy bookshop I
know...
siriusgeologist says, I could mail someone my copy of EHR
catlady_de_los_angeles says, it was SO OBVIOUS that this is teen-
age girl wish-fulfillment fantasy, things that don't happen, have no
reason to happen in real life, but the author indulged her Inner
Teenager by making them happen
hert0661isme says, i tried borders, blackwells, whsmiths and
waterstones and none had them
voicelady_2000 says, So could I, but I'm hanging on to my Wild Swans.
cassandraclaire73 says, rita: yeah, like she suddenly got thin and
sorted out her hair
cassandraclaire73 says, i admit its been years since i read it
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and turned out to have a fabulous
singing voice despite no training
cassandraclaire73 says, i was glad when they turned her boyfriend
into scrap metal.
cassandraclaire73 says, hard-hearted, i am
catlady_de_los_angeles says, and Silver fell in love with her in
the first place,
€ Aberforths_Goat says, Err Rita--I'm a little lost! Sounds very
interesting though ...
cassandraclaire73 says, we have wandered far from harry potter
gypsycaine is away (Auto-Away)
cassandraclaire73 says, *wanders back*
flying_ford_anglia says, I'm struggling with Iain Banks latest scifi
novel...
siriusgeologist says, Harry who?
voicelady_2000 says, I wouldn't mind if someone turned some of my old
boyfriends into scrap metal...
catlady_de_los_angeles says, a lover who took care of her, told her
how to earn a living, did all the housework including painting the
bathroom into mermaid's palace trompe l'oeuil
cassandraclaire73 says, *makes face at carole* Sirius who?
siriusgeologist says, hehehehehehe
princessspinnet says, agrees wholeheartedly with voicelady
cassandraclaire73 says, also agrees with voicelady
voicelady_2000 says, geee
flying_ford_anglia says, So....Harry Potter....
flying_ford_anglia says, kewl books!
€ Aberforths_Goat says, What about him?
catlady_de_los_angeles says, It;s a novel by Tanith Lee entitled
SILVER METAL LOVER. Silver is a wonderful, souful, talented robot
(that's how he canb e turned into scrap metal) who loves in love with
the narrating heroine, Jane
siriusgeologist says, at what age?
siriusgeologist says, Harry
catlady_de_los_angeles says, What age: Jane, Harry, or SIlver?
siriusgeologist says, 14, 16, 21, 26
cassandraclaire73 says, oh you mean book age, dd age, asa age or pou
age!
cassandraclaire73 says, that was impressive
cassandraclaire73 says, can i tell you i can no longer keep the canon
straight from fanfic?
€ Aberforths_Goat says, I believe Steve Vander Ark (sp?) is the
timeline expert
princessspinnet says, I get it all mized up.
siriusgeologist says, I actually did one a month or so
agao...sob...feeling ignored
princessspinnet says, *mixed
voicelady_2000 says, I agree with you, Cassie.
cassandraclaire73 says, *pats carole*
siriusgeologist says, for the fanfics that is
blaise_42 says, yeah, Steve is the detail person
blaise_42 says, oh, neither can I
cassandraclaire73 says, i go back and read the books and
think 'that's not right'
flying_ford_anglia says, I think JKR pays less attention to timelines
than most of us...
siriusgeologist says, that is probably true
€ Aberforths_Goat says, Neil, how dare you!
blaise_42 says, she pays less attention to most of the really detaile
things than we do, I suspect
catlady_de_los_angeles says, I think we've ALL gotten mixed up with
fanfic: I remain convinced taht Molly Weasley has brown hair, as in
the relatively recent thread in the egroup
voicelady_2000 says, I don't think she ever thought people would pick
it apart as much as we do!
cassandraclaire73 says, the fun is in the picking.
voicelady_2000 says, totally.
siriusgeologist says, what would we do if we didn't pick!
princessspinnet says, I keep on thinking that, in the end, Malfoy
will turn into a charmingly quasi-evil honorary Gryff. It probably
won't happen.
flying_ford_anglia says, It's true though - maybe not the timelines,
but the details... that was clear from the interview on DID...
cassandraclaire73 says, my main horror upon rereading Gof is that
malfoy's barely in it
cassandraclaire73 says, and here i thought he was the main character
voicelady_2000 says, LOL
€ Aberforths_Goat says, I love the JKR quote in which she offered
two explanations for the dumb Slytherin's 8th year
changeling_de says, I actually discussed whether an
