Closed and reopened. Old words still there.
12:48 am

I just did the Bulk Add -worked fine for me - use Firefox
12:48 am
Ankhorite
Jilli, that must have happened while I was gone. Where do I get it?
12:48 am
lizmac
That happened the other day to me too, I thought everybody was the same, but no, it was just me! Refreshing didn't help or rebooting. Good luck, it righted itself hours later.
12:48 am
MLFAN17
no autumn refresh it
12:48 am
MLFAN17
reload it
12:48 am

Ankh, you just email Lickety and ask for it

Refresh too, Autumn. Thank you, Lynnxxx, I'm Firefox also.
12:48 am

Geesh. Just found my first 7 letter word.
12:51 am

like I said - must be bedtime, Jilli. Odd that it happened after I closed and reopened and refreshed. Bulk added my words, they are all showing - in addition to the last puzzle.

Pigeon, it takes me forever also
12:52 am

mlf, it puts everything on one page and has the Lickety Add box where if you type one word it goes to your list and if you type more than one it goes to chat. There are other features too. If you go pro Lickety will send it to you if you email him.
12:57 am
MLFAN17
i can put the words in individualy through licketys page
12:57 am
lynxxx
Lickety add actually updates the Clue List and Babbe similtaneously
12:58 am
stidmama
or you can bulk add with lickety's page too MLF, but with the lickety browser you don't have to. the words are automatically entered both places.
12:58 am
jillibus
it'd much easier in Expert, but do as you like
12:58 am
MLFAN17
i have firefox cant bulk already tried
12:58 am

You will also get the Tile Stats back MLFAN - might be worth the smalll cost

12:59 am

Firefox DOES permit Bulk Add - I just did it successfully when everyone was complaining
1:00 am
autumn moon
it's not that it didn't bulk add, it's that my old words are still there from the last grid.
1:01 am
MLFAN17
i tried it more then once does not work for me
1:02 am
lynxxx
thats weird Autumn - did you open a new window for Lickety and make sure the clue list was todays - and was blank?
1:03 am
MLFAN17
ac 6 please
1:03 am
lynxxx
MLFAN has bulk add ever worked for you?
1:03 am

Clue list won't go blank. Each time I open, the words are still there. Already refreshed several times and no change
1:03 am
MLFAN17
lynxx nope
1:03 am

autumn, your cache is not clearing.

ye gods, just scrolled back to see freep finished already!
1:30 am
sprite
Elsh, Mar... you ARE good at these. If you manage to find words, even lots of words, you are doing very well. The habit of finishing grids is just a sign of addiction and not at all necessary to enjoy the grid!

jilli are you a capricorn?

nope, Just -- Taurus

awwww jilli, what a great pic! I can't imagine living somewhere with such a view *drools*

sprite, the deer here are very cheeky -- will go right up to the house, and of course eat every flower in sight (except daffodils)
1:32 am
Just1Mar
well you've just validated me spritey! I've gotten about a handful of fireworks. I usually get 1/2 to 2/3 done before I go to lickety's list, do what I can with that, then say ok I'm done
1:32 am
sprite
I guess there is a downside to everything, jilli... but it seems like it is worth it just to see them passing by!
1:32 am
meliae
I keep thinking attourney is in the grid =(
1:33 am
jillibus
of course, we must realise they were here first and we're intruding on their grounds
1:33 am
Just1Mar
thought you might be capricorn....= goat= slow and steady....perserveering
1:33 am

wonderful, Mar! This game is about having fun, not about achievements and beating others. Sounds like you know how to play :)
1:33 am
jillibus
Just -- why did you ask if I were a capricorn?
1:34 am
Elsh
yeah, jilli, it was terrible where i used to live in ca...i lived in a housing development and when they drove the dears out of a nearby area by making another, we'd see the deer in the streets all the time.

2:06 am
jillibus
Just & sprite -- on the news tonight -- the Quebec language police are after and Irish Pub in Montreal because they have signs in English.

2:07 am
sprite
Mar: no 8s yet here. Only phantom 8s.
2:07 am
Just1Mar
yes that's why I'm babbling about it lol
2:08 am
jillibus
absolutely no joke, rolin -- $1500 fine if they don't put up French signs
2:08 am
rolin
but its an 'irish' pub...
2:08 am
sprite
jilli, that is really bad. That is sick.
2:08 am
Just1Mar
actually it'a an Irish pub called McGibbons and they have antique metal signs inside as decor
2:08 am
Frances
Jilli I love the picture of your local deer.
2:09 am
rolin
oh well thats just stupid...if it was operational singage..i could almost go ewith it...but decor??
2:09 am
jillibus
There was a big to do about apostrophes a while ago. Eaton's department store had to become Eatons, etc etc
2:09 am
sprite
am I being disrespectful when I tell that police department to go focus on something that actually hurts people?
2:09 am
rolin
they ban apostophes?
2:10 am
sprite
people fight over an apostrophe in a world like this??? *tries to get mouth closed again*
2:10 am
Just1Mar
oh that's ancient history already
2:10 am
jillibus
oh, they're not police police, just tongue troopers from "L'Office de la Langue Francaise", going about and checking that French is dominant everywhere
2:11 am
Just1Mar
Yep we got language laws here in our democratic society
2:11 am
sprite
but they are official enough to fine people???
2:11 am
jillibus
Les Quebecois are worried that they will lose their language because they are a small island in a sea of North American English
2:11 am
Just1Mar
because as they claim, they are 6 million French speakers in a sea of 300 millions English speakers and they must protect their culture and language
2:12 am
rolin
i dont wish to be disprespectful...but they need to get a grip!
2:12 am
Just1Mar
they fine businesses not people
2:12 am
carra
i did it again. fell asleep onthe couch for an hour and a half =/
2:12 am
sprite
I am actually shocked. I mean, jeezzzz taking it so far as to demand that an IRISH pub (I repeat: irish) decorates its interior with French.
2:13 am
jillibus
Many people are unaware of the French heritage in all of North America -- for instance, Detroit is a French name, which may surprise many who live there
2:13 am
sprite
carra... might mean you need the sleep
2:13 am
carra
hi sprite, jill
2:13 am
Just1Mar
well detroit is actually aborignal but cadillac founded detroit
2:13 am
carra
i had 8 hours last night
2:13 am
o-o
would there be businesses without people? to say they fine businesses is sophism
2:14 am
sprite
i'd say the owner of the pub thinks it is very personal, yes
2:14 am
Just1Mar
they've fined huge corporations..multi nationals who operate here....can't really say there's a person behind that
2:14 am
sprite
and hi BabbleRabble, good to see you
2:15 am
rolin
i understand the need to preserve culture and cultural history...but rationality still need to exist..the irish pub signs is insane
2:15 am
jillibus
D'etroit = Narrows
2:15 am
Frances
Just heard on the news that our ’wonderful’ government are thinking of introducing smoking permits. You will have to pay £10 to have a licence to buy cigarettes. Sounds like another money making scheme to me......and I don’t smoke.
2:15 am
sprite
carra: 8 hours last night... and over the last month or so, average?
2:15 am
Just1Mar
yeah it sure does frances
2:16 am
sprite
Frances... my dear god. And I was thinking the netherlands were crazy for all their rules and regulations about almost everything.
2:16 am
rolin
yeah i heard that too frances... im sure the daily mail will brand them id cards by stealth
2:16 am
Just1Mar
yes it is rolin
2:16 am
jillibus
hi carra
2:16 am
Just1Mar
we live in a very alice in wonderland like place here
2:17 am
sprite
and then the next step will be: all people who smoke are registered now, by means of the permit, and they will have to start paying even higher fees for health ensurances.
2:17 am
jillibus
so, Just, detroit is NOT aboriginal -- did you see my post at 2:15?
2:17 am
Just1Mar
my bad jilli
2:18 am
sprite
it is definitely a french name, jilli!
2:18 am
jillibus

Just -- did you ever get that S word at the top?
2:19 am
Just1Mar
but I know for sure that Antonie de Cadillac founded Detroit
2:19 am
Frances
We have a congestion charge in London. You have to pay £8 to drive in every day. Now the mayor has intruduced a charge of £25 per day for gas guzzlers. I'd like to know where all this money goes.
2:20 am

and meteor
2:20 am
Just1Mar
nope but did get to my 100 mark to go to lickety's :)

2:20 am
sprite
and I still don't know which S Mar asked about, lol.
2:20 am
Just1Mar
so why do you not show your British flag, Frances?
2:21 am
Just1Mar

2:21 am
jillibus
frances -- great icon!
2:22 am
Just1Mar
but it looks Swiss? to me
2:22 am
Frances
Just as those like Flask have a Scottish flag.
2:22 am
jillibus
just, it's the flag of St George of England.
2:23 am
Frances
Swiss flag is white cross on a red background
2:23 am
Just1Mar
oh sorry not up on my saints :( not of the Christian faith
2:24 am
jillibus
The British Union Jack (or flag now) is made up of the flags of St George, St Andrew and St Patrick, superimposed on each other
2:24 am
Frances
Thanks jilli. Left over from icon Friday last week.
2:25 am
Just1Mar
It's good that you're proud. I am too. I live in a county and yeah, even a province that is a democractic and free
2:25 am
Just1Mar
thx jilli

where life and human dignity are paramount
2:26 am
sprite
amen to that, even though it is a phantom today
2:26 am
jillibus
BTW, yesterday (Feb 15) was Canada's Flag Day. The current flag was flown for the first time on Feb 15, 1965 (I think that's the year)
2:27 am
o-o
does your provence allow the teaching of a foreign language; if so, do you have to go out of the provence to speak it?
2:27 am
Just1Mar
not sure but my hubby has made sure that his flag flies freely on our front lawn :)
2:27 am
sprite
we can learn any language we want to and speak it wherever we want to... guess that is a lot of freedom
2:28 am
Just1Mar
it's really not as bad as it sounds babble
2:28 am
jillibus
babrab, that's another Quebec goodie. You have to have special reasons to go to an English school. French-speaking kids are not taught English early.
2:28 am
Just1Mar
Montreal is a very cosmopolitan city and many languages are spoken on the streets
2:29 am
o-o
it caused a constitustional crisis not that many years ago
2:29 am
Just1Mar
but we settle our causes by the ballots not the bullets and that's all that counts
2:29 am
jillibus
Hear hear, Just
2:30 am

2:30 am
sprite
I agree, Mar
2:30 am
Just1Mar

2:30 am
jillibus
yes, but it came too close to bullets
2:31 am
o-o
you start out with gestapo and now .... well I will move on
2:31 am
Just1Mar
a whole new generation has grown up since then and with this world of globilization and instant communication, they know they're lucky to live in this free and democratic and safe environment

jillibus
the town of Hudson in western Quebec, where I used to live, has people so bilingual they're not conscious of which language they're speaking and have no accents in either language
2:34 am
jillibus
everyone gets along just fine
2:34 am
Just1Mar
and they (we) switch between english and french without even realizing it
2:34 am
sprite
that sounds good, jilli and Mar. Would be nice if that would be allowed to spread.
2:34 am
Just1Mar
like everywhere else it's the damn politicians that like to stir the pot

Yes infernal. I use silk dupion fabric and silk thread to sew it together.
3:21 am
herinfernallady
Ok fantastic. Sounds so pretty. I am always interested in learning new techniques with hand sewing
3:23 am
Frances
Not the easiest of fabrics to work with infernal but the results are very satisfying.......to me anyway.
3:24 am
herinfernallady
I have found that silk is very much like taffy pull too much and it breaks

I gave up on rugby league about 20 years ago when my club started to buy and sell players from other areas - to me it lost the whole point
3:32 am
loredana
i agree Lickety
3:32 am
licketySplitAUS
I follow international though
3:33 am

hmmm... i actually came here from canada some 20 odd year ago... it was only after having the kids and seeing them get into it that i started to take an interest... now i'm completely hooked.
3:33 am

an assimilated aussie.
3:33 am
loredana
so the ice hockey went down the drain?
3:34 am
licketySplitAUS
good on you hilary - I know rugby league is probably has the biggest following here. My sport that I'm religous about is international - MotoGP
3:34 am
hillary
actually aussie rules is the only sport that comes close to hockey for the speed and the turnovers and the excitement. saw an NHL match in vancouver in january.
3:35 am
licketySplitAUS
I really enjoy watching ice hockey - saw a game a few weeks ago on cable - loved it
3:36 am
Frances
Is that motor bikes lickety?
3:37 am
licketySplitAUS
I went to an ice hockey game in Boston - bought tickets 5 mins before kick off at the venue - and was right behind a goal. Met some lovely people too. Frances - yes MotoGP is motorbikes and we have an Australian champion at the moment - Casey Stoner - I've been following every race for about 25 years

Just need to let everyone know I'm doing 12 hour days work 3 days a week again - but still should be able to do clues. Ok boy it gets tiring though - unforunately I couldn't wake up this Sat morning and missed taking my son to his 8:30am gym session
3:46 am
herinfernallady
We forget how time flys
3:46 am
herinfernallady
Lickety do the list if you can don't worry if you cant
3:47 am
Frances
You deserve the extra time in bed lickety. I'm sure your son understands.......and we certainly understand if the list doesn't appear.
3:48 am
licketySplitAUS
Everyone has to push the limits on life - it's amazing what you can get done. I work a 12 hour day, get 6 hours sleep and then get on my motorbike for an hour ride through manic traffic - and I have to keep myself so focused to not make a mistake. I have to be so careful - and in fact aggressive with traffic - expecting everything to happen so that I have some control over the situation. The major worry is those things like road conditions and the wierd stuff like animals or total chaos

car broke down, we just got it back last wednesday. Hubby has a painful and swollen ankle, has been suffering from gout for 6 weeks now, but doc thinks this one is different... might be arthritis. Etc.

OH Hugs
4:44 am

thanks hun. It is nothing major, just shitty.
4:44 am

4:45 am
lynxxx
wouldn't be inflamed heel spurs would it Sprite? extreme pain when first getting on feet from sitting etc
4:46 am
sprite
no, it is inside the joint, lynxxx. It started with gout at the toes. Then it moved to the foot, and was still very painful at the touch. But this ankle thing is new. Not so painful at the touch, but painful to walk on and very stiff.
4:46 am

Sprite Breath. Its very handy to remember (even if i don't half the time)

4:56 am

infernal - you might have trouble finding gas oven - I agree with you about gas top though
4:56 am
Frances
from doing laundry.
Infernal, you sound like me. Much prefer to cook with gas.
4:57 am
herinfernallady
THeres lots of old dears in this area so i think it may be tricky. Cant have the old dears burning the house down.
4:57 am

That should read back from doing laundry.
4:57 am

Well I'm an 'old dear' infernal and no fires here......yet!

I prefer gas to cook on as well but electric really isnt that bad once you get use to it
4:58 am

You can control gas much easier.
4:58 am

Nono both b.f and i are ex chefs the thought of electric top cooking drives me nuts. THere is a few houses about. Looking to move April May time
4:59 am

Try induction electric, sometime. It's amazing. The best of both worlds.
4:59 am
herinfernallady
That and i think that this is an old area and a lot of old areas didn't have mains gas so electric it was
4:59 am

good luck with your search then herin, I hope you find something

7:41 am
lilliann
oh good as i wouldn't want to make a mess lil! LOL
7:41 am
lilliann
pinattas mrp
7:44 am
lilliann
my bairn is 8, and i usually do crafty things at her parties, like decorating tshirts and jeans,...the bairns could bring there own and you only need sequins and things you can glue on and fabric pens
7:44 am
lil*monkey
oh that sounds fun! cheeky , throw a party for older chicks and let's decorate T-shirts
7:44 am
Merk
By the way, where is the 10?
7:45 am
lil*monkey
a friend of mine has one of those shops where you buy and paint your own pottery piece, she says little girls have group parties there
7:45 am
lilliann
i like the old games, musical statues and chairs and pass the parcel, but they might think thats boring now, have tyou asked the bairn what she would like to play mrp?
7:46 am
lil*monkey
i thnk the 10 starts with nu, merk
7:46 am
lil*monkey
sorry, i'm wrong... nu9 and en10
7:46 am
lilliann
the 10 is the same as the 9 merc minus letter
7:46 am
Merk
nope, that's the nu 9
7:47 am
lilliann
sorry, meant add a letter
7:47 am
lil*monkey
LOL... i know i just woke up, but my brains are totally scrambled now
7:49 am
Merk
Oh, it's the en 10
7:49 am
lilliann
that sounds good lil....not your brain being scrambled, hee hee, but the pottery. me and my daughter buy cheap pots and paint them and glass painting and we love to make cards
7:49 am
mrpresident
we have set up at the moment:
Royal Party - make and decorate your own crown/tiara and then decorate your own goblet (which will then be the lollybag to take home)
Ballot for best costume, king, queen, prince, princess, knight etc...
Musical statues....
what else??
7:49 am
lil*monkey
i like to make hand-painted cards too cheeky
7:50 am
lil*monkey
how about competiton for best curtsy :)
7:50 am
lil*monkey
or "best royal wave "
7:50 am
mrpresident
I am putting paper down on the tables, with crayons so they can draw all through the party
7:50 am
mrpresident
oh that is good!
7:51 am
mrpresident
any other royal games?
7:51 am
lilliann
just put loads of crafty things on the table mrp and they will make what ever they want
7:51 am
mrpresident
other than the obvious, drinking till they fall down drunk or cheating on their spouses LOL
7:52 am
mrpresident
What other crafty thing do you think they could do besides crown/tiara and goblet?
7:52 am
lil*monkey
it would be fun to make "masquerade" ball masks
7:52 am
elise04
a sceptre
7:52 am
mrpresident
a sceptre! ah, what would I need for that
7:52 am
lilliann
nopw thats a fun party!!! LOL apart from the cheating bit of course!
7:53 am
mrpresident
we have 20+ kids coming!
7:53 am
lilliann
great idea lil, you can make the masques out of card and let them decorate them, and stick straws on the sides to hold
7:53 am
elise04
get some dow rods cut them to size - glitter - ribbon - paint
7:54 am
lil*monkey
yes! have beads, sparkles, feathers to decorate them
7:55 am
lilliann
and stick a ball on the end of the scepter, like a teniss ball, put a hole in it so it stops on and decorate with foil
7:55 am
lilliann
tennis even
7:55 am
mrpresident
masks! fab idea
7:55 am
elise04
prolly use those foam balls - cheaper
7:55 am
mrpresident
cut out masks and put elastic on them, have them decorate and wear them for the dances
7:56 am
mrpresident
foil! yes, that would work well!
7:56 am
lil*monkey
i just found an alternate word for loo! po5
7:56 am
mrpresident
I can get heaps of ribbon and crafty gems and glitter
7:56 am
lilliann
foam balls, much better idea elise
7:57 am
lilliann
shame i don't live near you mrp, my house is full of crafty things, it drives my hubby to distraction!!
7:57 am
elise04
wish i was going to this party - sounds fun
7:59 am
mrpresident
oh this is going to be fun!
Now, after the craft, what do I do with 10 and 11 year olds??
Dance??
7:59 am
lilliann
it does elise, i wonder if us grown ups are allowed!!
8:00 am
lilliann

8:01 am
mrpresident

8:02 am

rolin

8:06 am
Ankhorite

10:17 am
hurshy
i mean, i don't think it actually does, because it's got to be the plural of that babblet we have sometimes, and so, it must not sound that way, but it looks like it could sound that way, if you get my drift
10:17 am
Merk
OK, and we both live in the US so the v place where events are held shoud be familiar to me. Thinking cap.
10:18 am
Merk
I can't even think of the v place to get to the te it sounds similar to.
10:18 am
Queenruejean
Merk, for the v word, think of what it's called when a trial is moved to a new place - a change of v**** plus an s.

Hi all.. Still having problems I see. As I said earlier, exactly the same happened with me, the only thing that solved it was a flip and a new set of clues, I'm afraid.

Sorry, that was to Autumn!!!

Not going to finish today, so I'm off to look at holidays.

Holidays? Where are you thinking of going?

Anyway, off to do a little research and a lot of daydreaming!!

YAY, Autumn.
12:05 pm

I only had an overnight stay in Athens, Liz, but there's the Parthenon. That's unmissable. Yes, I'll email you.

But I avoided all my young friends. Actually, avoided everyone, and tried not to breathe on the doctor.

Wow... where in Sam Hill did you contract that disease?

Hurt like the dickens. I didn't know mumps hurt.

I'm glad you avoided me! I still haven't had the MMR2 vaccine
12:18 pm

I'm the age which either did not get vaccinated, or got only one dose before they figured out you needed two. Yes, Uniquity, it's serious.
12:18 pm
Scarlet
Uni!! Ank... leave it to you... Uni, you'd better get some needles in your tushie!!
12:18 pm
Uniquity
I'm a one doser...which is funny, because I am only 19 and in the States they kne better, but Canada did not
12:18 pm
Ankhorite
Maybe she's too old for MMR now?
12:19 pm
Scarlet
Oh, lordy... it is more serious for boys not to be vaccinated, but just as bad for girls in other ways.
12:19 pm
Scarlet
Hard to say... it's a doctor's call now...
12:19 pm
Ankhorite
re5, 10? Anyone? Well, Uni, maybe you need that second shot, honey. Thnk about it.
12:19 pm
Scarlet
Variant spelling of the rope, Ank

Ankhorite
No no, they've learned girls' gonads swell up too, we just don't see it happening. The ovaries get all inflated. The rope? Hmmm.

Hope you're feeling better Ankh.
12:20 pm
Ankhorite
Autumn, when were you born, can I ask?

Actually, I seem to be unusual in that spam doesn't bother me too much. It's easy enough to delete it all. I much prefer that to unwanted phone calls and piles of tree-killing junk mail.

red is particularily perky today?!?!
12:36 pm
Vicuna
Oh, yeah, no problme, Scarlet. Let's see, where do i begin...
12:37 pm
Vicuna
I know, but sitting here for another afternoon staring at the grid!
12:37 pm
Ankhorite
Scarlet, you WOULD want a strumpet, how else could you be a scarlet woman? My M-in-law objects to one of our angel cookie cutters, claims she's a strumpet... esp. when I put candy lipstick and colored eyes on her.
12:37 pm
Uniquity
My spam all goes into my spam filter automatically, I delete about 100 a day. Irritates me a little, but not much. I rarely get e-mails, so it's easy enough
12:37 pm
Vicuna
*by sitting here, I mean.

HEY!!! Can you all help me with something I have to do today?? I NEED A NEW RANGE / OVEN and I would like to know, since we can't afford gas, how you feel about ceramic cooktops. Can you use any pan or pot on them? Hard to clean? Black, gray, or white?

they scratch easy.... need new pots and pans....free from any abrasions
12:39 pm

OOOOOh, awful, Deeha! Yikes!
12:39 pm
Ankhorite
Oooh, bad, Carlee. Hmm.
12:39 pm
carleekat
and u need abrasion free cleaners... and if u have young cooks int he house..they will drag a pot/ pan across the top...scratched
12:39 pm
Ankhorite
Anyone else? Any other words on ceramic cooktops? And does a convection oven REALLY matter?
12:40 pm

maybe I need to change my e-mail address then, I get lots of spam, at leat 100 a day

12:40 pm
Ankhorite
Sheesh, Peri, get a filter!
12:40 pm
Vicuna
We have ceramic cooktop. (Except it looks more like glass to me.) It cleans easily enough and has never scratched for us. The only pots that don't work well are the ones with uneven bases. They have to sit flat.
12:40 pm
carleekat
( mine is just my first 2 initials..then hubby's then our last...NO spam )
12:40 pm
periwinkle
I have a spam filter, I just delete lots at a time
12:41 pm

easiest for cleaning is a gas...u take the racks off and put in diswasher...i have a nice electric with glass front touch controls
12:41 pm
Ankhorite
Hubby did something to our router that cut spam way down. Don't know what.
12:41 pm
periwinkle
hi Ankh, have not seen you in a while, how are you?
12:41 pm
NonnieLight
I recently replaced my old cooktop with ceramic and I love it. It takes a little more care but the ease of cleanup is wonderful. Just remember to ensure your pot is flat on the bottom.
12:41 pm
Atalante
I had a ceramic cooktop for a few years and loved it and didnt manage to scratch it
12:41 pm
autumn moon
Conv oven - love it. Can bake 6 pies at the same time and not worry about burning the ones on the bottom rack
12:41 pm
Scarlet
Just got back from a phonecall... Yes, of course I totally support Scarlet Women... the stove is a ton of work to keep pristine...
12:41 pm
Ankhorite
AH! Do you like the glass touch controls? Easier to clean? We can't afford gas. :(
12:41 pm
carleekat
yeap..mine in convection too....rarely use convection tho
12:41 pm
Ankhorite
What color, Atalante?
12:42 pm

Propane is through the roof all over the U.S.A.
12:42 pm

12:42 pm
Vicuna
Pristine? Who needs a pristine stove?
12:42 pm
Ankhorite
Nonnie, what color, and what do you mean "flat on the bottom" -- aren't all pots that way? Can you use glass pots (pyrex?)
12:42 pm
Atalante
ermmm can't remember!
12:42 pm
carleekat
( is natural gas up here for gas )
12:42 pm
Ankhorite
Vicuna, I'd love for the stove to be clean. The Stoveship Enterprise which just died has 40 years of grease on it.
12:42 pm
carleekat
ok..gone to lay down...nite all... enjoy the day
12:42 pm
Ankhorite
Night, Carlee, thanks for all the help and advice.
12:43 pm
Vicuna
No, some pots are meant to be flat but actually don't sit quite even if they're on a totally flat surface.
12:43 pm
NonnieLight
Some cheap-oh pots don't sit flat. Our is black.
12:43 pm
Scarlet
Rest well, kattie.
12:44 pm

Taking note of Autumn's convection comments... OH HI PERI!!! I was gone, I had the MUMPS, everyone here has heard all about it so I'll just say OUCH and I'm glad it's over.

The first 32 years of grease weren't mine. That sucker was uncleanable from the day we moved in.
12:45 pm
periwinkle
Oh my, didn't know Ank, I am glad it is over too, never had the mumps
12:45 pm
NonnieLight
I wish I could have afforded the convection oven when we bought ours but it was more $$$ and I was already spending a ton since ours was a drop in and they seem to run quite a bit higher.
12:45 pm
Vicuna
One feature ours has that I like a lot is that some of the burners have an option of big or small concentric ring, so you only heat up as much as the size of the pot requires.
12:45 pm
Ankhorite
If you're my age, Peri, you're from the vulnerable group 1955-1964 or so.
12:45 pm

12:46 pm

I would love, LOVE to own a stainless steel Viking stove with grille, double ovens and six burners... dream on...
12:46 pm

Vicuna, I'd seen that and didn't understand it -- you like it, though?
12:46 pm

Those are nice Vi. My daughter has that on hers and she loves them.
12:46 pm

Nonnie, the drop ins cost THE EARTH. Ours is free-standing.

NonnieLight
Nice, scarlet! :o)
12:46 pm
Uniquity
That is what I don't understand..in Nova Scotia, at least...If you ar between the ages of 7 and 50, you never were properly inocculated against the mumps.
12:46 pm
Ankhorite
Well, Peri, then perhaps you are safe! :)
12:46 pm
Ankhorite
And perhaps not worried about the sterility factor!
12:46 pm

very well, peri. thank you for asking! she's back at home and hopefully I'm heading back home for a week or two tomorrow!

12:47 pm

Uniq, apparently public health authorities didn't understnad you need at least two doses, maybe more -- we think I got one dose.
12:47 pm
Scarlet
Hi, Nonnie... yes, I can dream... :-)
12:47 pm
Vicuna
Yes, Ankh. Usually stoves come with, say, two big and two small. But on this, if you're cooking three big pans, you have that option, but if you're cooking in three little pans the next day, you have that option, too. (Because unlike gas, you want to pick the burner that fits your pan.)
12:47 pm
periwinkle
I would love a kitchen with an island
12:48 pm
Uniquity
I know that, but I was always under the impression that it was a nation wide thing, but there were people on earlier from Canada who have had the inocculation more than twice, despite being in the same time range as myself
12:48 pm
Deeha
apaarently, over here, if you ate between 62-68 you missed out on a lot of vaccinations etc because they were being saved for those doing something useful during the war. I discovered I had never had a antitetanus recently
12:48 pm
NonnieLight
Ank, if something does spill over and leaves burnt crusties on the stove, I use a straight edge razor (after it the stovetop has cooled) and gently scrape off the crud. I then use the polishing compound (they should provide you with a sample) and it stays looking very nice.
12:48 pm
Ankhorite
Oooh, Deeha, that's scary.
12:49 pm
Scarlet
You have to have a booster tetnus if too many years have elapsed since your childhood injection.
12:49 pm
Deeha
Ive had one now because apparently there is tetanus in the soil where I live
12:49 pm
Scarlet
Deeha, I think it's just about everywhere...
12:49 pm

I get tetnus boosters on the fives, so far. I might need one at twenty, but am not positive

Deeha
Mind you that gives my age away doesnt it!!

I had a MMR booster in 5th grade and in 10th grade and again when I was 30 (in addition to the polio and tetanus)

Nonnie, thanks, I already have coupon -- is yours black, gray, or white? Vicuna, thanks for the additional lesson.
12:50 pm

I had my last booster in 1999, so I'll be good for another 15-18 years...
12:50 pm

Better not miss this next rtain. Talk to you all tomorrow good luck everybody
12:50 pm
NonnieLight
Don't they recommend a booster tetnus after 10 years? The nurse at the health dept. got me when I took our children in. She asked my how long since mine. I couldn't remember. She said if I couldn't remember then it had been too long...she stuck me.

Here is a funny story. I was at the dentist--scared and afraid of pain. So the dentist gave me nitrous oxide gas and I got sleepy and dopeyand did fine thru the procedure. At the end of the visit he told me that he gave me regular air--no nitrous oxide. He tricked me and I succumbed to the placebo effect!
