4:28 am

sprite

bit shaky, but not unhappy. Just came back from 3rd session with the psychiatrist and we decided to start working together on my issues. I have the feeling there is a lot she can teach me.

4:28 am

4:29 am

mrpresident

4:30 am

sprite

thanks mrP :) She is highly professional, very experienced in working with ptss clients and has a clear and warm approach. She also told me work is out of the question, and we will be busy for at least a couple of years to get me back to somewhere near healthy.

4:31 am

sprite

heyyy MonkeyG!. Happy Birthday hun!
Have you been treated as a queen already?

4:31 am

herinfernallady

Sprite she is pissed that I have spent the money I got from the government that i spent it all and didn't keep money for seeing them. I spent it all on bills and doing this course

4:31 am

MonkeyGames

I'm glad you've found someone to work with, Sprite. It really can help immensely.

4:31 am

sprite

well bully her, lady. Bills have to be paid and investing in yourself and your future is the best you can do.

4:31 am

mrpresident

oh good sprite!! that will make a difference!

4:32 am

herinfernallady

Happy Birthfay To you monkey happy 40th one dozen red roses for you @----<-----

4:32 am

Absolutely. I second Sprite's comments, Herin.

4:32 am

absolutely, mrP! I feel ok with her already, which is saying lots.

4:32 am

Hi Eva!

4:33 am

herinfernallady

Thanks

4:33 am

sprite

so MonkeyG... have you?

4:34 am

sprite

been treated like a queen, I mean?

4:34 am

MonkeyGames

Ummmm... not as such, but Walter followed me all over this morning yelling HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA! and opening and closing a musical birthday card he got once. And he says that after school he wants to make me a crown and a scarf.

4:35 am

MonkeyGames

Just picking out what I'm making for dinner. I have settled on Szechuan pot stickers and steamed aromatic meats in rice meal.

4:35 am

sprite

then I say you have been :)
Sounds great. Sweet 40, you greeny ;)

4:35 am

MonkeyGames

Thanks!

4:35 am

sprite

hm how late is dinner?

4:35 am

herinfernallady

Hi Eva and Merp.

4:35 am

MonkeyGames

6:30... I'll set an extra place.

4:36 am

:D It sounds delicious!

4:36 am

Eva

hi herin

4:36 am

sprite

how are you, mrP and Eva?

4:36 am

Eva

myin

4:36 am

MonkeyGames

I hope so! I'm using my Christmas present, the Szechuan cookbook. I am very good at Cantonese and was dying for a chance to master Szechuan.

4:36 am

Eva

myis

4:37 am

Eva

sorry!!

4:37 am

Eva

at leastit was total junk

4:37 am

sprite

lol, now for one that is valid please!

4:37 am

MonkeyGames

If I get that job I'll have an excuse to be ingredients shopping in Amsterdam frequently, as well. That's where I have to go for black vinegar, red sugar, fermented beancurd, all those essentials.

4:38 am

Eva

we are fine. Waiting for yet another winter storm. The tropics are looking really good rightnow

4:38 am

sprite

the Albert Cuyp is great for that

4:38 am

herinfernallady

Monkey I love spending spare money on ''gourmet food''

4:38 am

MonkeyGames

True, but the Chinese supermarkets right downtown are even better.

4:39 am

sprite

I really need to go there some day then.

4:39 am

MonkeyGames

Have no extra money. But these are essential ingredients. Luckily just one pot of preserved vegetable lasts me several months.

4:39 am

herinfernallady

lovely

4:39 am

sprite

I bet Eva! Cold and unpleasant right now :(

4:40 am

herinfernallady

is this an evil little grid?

4:40 am

herinfernallady

Sprite

4:40 am

sprite

over halfway fast and easy, lady, don't know yet about the 2nd half tough!

4:40 am

MonkeyGames

Let's do a trip sometime! Not REALLY soon though because I just did stock up. But if you haven't had fresh water chestnuts marinated in soy sauce and rlled in Chinese brown sugar and grilled wrapped in smoked bacon you haven't lived.

4:41 am

sprite

I definitely want to have lived. It is a date :)
Can't walk very far but we will find a way.

4:41 am

sprite

wow, found an expert on E.T.

4:42 am

MonkeyGames

The two main suprmarkets are at each end of Zeedijk. We could shop at one, look at the Buddhist temple on the way to the other (about 4 blocks), shop at the other, then cap it off a street or two over with one oif the tiny one-table eateries and had back home.

4:42 am

sprite

that is great, MonkeyG!

4:42 am

MonkeyGames

But I will have to cook you the chestnuts-- don't think they're on the menu there.

4:43 am

herinfernallady

MOnkey that water chestnut things sounds gross but yummy

4:44 am

MonkeyGames

Gross? Not at all! Yummy? Yes indeed! Just soak the peeled chestnuts (NOT canned) in soy sauce overnight. Then roll themin the sugar, wrap them in bacon, and stick them under the broiler. They chestnuts stay moist and super crispy. The bacon and teh sugar complement each other perfectly. The soy brings it all out nicely.

4:44 am

sprite

I usually am not too fond of food that combines sweet with hearty, but I will try everything!

4:45 am

herinfernallady

Not gross as in yuck but something I wouldn't think would work together

4:45 am

sprite

I do like pancakes with bacon and syrup, so this might work perfectly

4:45 am

MonkeyGames

This is different, trust me. But anyway it's an appetizer, so there'd be something else for you! Maybe honored-guest-glutinous-rice-stuffed chcken...

4:45 am

MonkeyGames

Trust me, Herin, the balance is excellent.

4:46 am

herinfernallady

Its hard for me to explain

4:46 am

sprite

owwwwww *drool*

4:46 am

MonkeyGames

No I understand. But it DOES work.

4:47 am

sprite

I often wonder who had the idea first to make certain combinations. But I am glad they did.

4:47 am

MonkeyGames

So for my "steamed mets" should I use beef or lamb or pork or all three? Hmmm.... I think maybe beef and lamb.

4:47 am

herinfernallady

I have to share

4:47 am

herinfernallady

http://www.nihonbashizen.com.au/

4:47 am

sprite

I like lamb. Sounds good with beef.

4:47 am

MonkeyGames

Sprite, it's usually very poor people thousands of years ago.

4:47 am

sprite

quite possible

4:48 am

MonkeyGames

I have never cooked this before. It requires a bamboo steamer. YAY, a chance to use mine!

4:48 am

herinfernallady

oh now i want to join in

4:49 am

sprite

I wouldn't mind eating there at all, lady

4:49 am

MonkeyGames

Have to make my own dough for the potstickers, too, it says, unless I want them to be all Cantonese-like.

4:50 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, I'll browse that site more later, Herin. Looks fantastic!

4:50 am

sprite

cantonese cuisine is very tasty too

4:50 am

herinfernallady

The reason I shared this is this reminds me of the chestnut thing. There is this ''anchovy tofu icecream'' thing they make that sounds revolting but its quiet tastey

4:50 am

MonkeyGames

Yes, but I have cooked it in various forms at least twice a week for years now. Time for Szechuan! And soon, when Danny can afford my birthday present, Hunan!

4:51 am

herinfernallady

OH Enjoy monkey

4:51 am

MonkeyGames

That does sound revolting! But since you say it's good I would try it...

4:51 am

herinfernallady

It is so soft and creamy its very weird

4:52 am

herinfernallady

back in a sec having a net issue

4:52 am

MonkeyGames

The only cultures remaining for which I have always had trouble finding recipes and which I would love dearly to cook as well as I have tasted it in restaurants are Himalayan.

4:52 am

MonkeyGames

I even have the only English-language Eritrean cookbook ever published-- an Eritrean friend gave it to me years ago. Now I just need a source of berbere..

4:54 am

MonkeyGames

OK, must get things a bit in order here before doing the grocery shopping and starting the meats. Have fun all, and thanks for the birthday wishes!

4:57 am

herinfernallady

ok still puttling along

4:58 am

4:59 am

5:06 am

5:06 am

Eva

5:06 am

Eva

oh-actually I do.

5:07 am

Here comes the sun
Here comes the sun, and I say
It's alright

7:40 am

LoriP

Sun? Seriously, we've had a total of like 6 hours of actual sun in the last 2 weeks. Depressing.

7:41 am

Trifioso

Trifioso

7:42 am

Atalante

I'm sure Jordan would do the deed

7:42 am

Haz1558

But is she not in the States at the minute?

7:42 am

Trifioso

you would have to make sure she put them right way round, ata

7:42 am

LoriP

***chokes on coffee at Ata Hari's comment***

7:43 am

Atalante

7:43 am

Trifioso

aghast - send jordan over here and we will put her in the harbor with the tea!

7:43 am

Atalante

she looooves LA

7:43 am

Haz1558

7:44 am

Trifioso

7:44 am

carleekat

LoriP

7:45 am

Trifioso

7:45 am

Atalante

7:45 am

Haz1558

You've asked about her before, carlee and always concluded, rightly, that she's not worth knowing about.

7:45 am

NonoNanette

carleekat

montreal13

bye lori and hazel , fedora always handy..."REAL ACTUAL POOF"

7:55 am

Haz1558

Yes, that's more like it.

7:56 am

Haz1558

A fedora a day keeps something undesirable away, I'm sure.

7:57 am

LoriP

Haz, I'm reasonably certain you're sitting down, so I have something to tell you. I'm going to do housework today. ***brace...brace...brace....***

7:57 am

NonoNanette

yikes Lori!!

7:57 am

Anniebrook

*faints*

7:57 am

Haz1558

Can somebody pass the smelling salts please. I've had a funny turn.

7:58 am

Haz1558

Older women need attended to first. I'll hold on to something solid.

7:58 am

NonoNanette

Lori are you practicing shock therepy or something

7:58 am

LoriP

Thank you, thank you. I know that I just did some last year, so it comes as a shock to you all.

7:58 am

Haz1558

I'm

7:59 am

Anniebrook

lori, news like that has to be fed gently

7:59 am

Haz1558

lost for words

7:59 am

Haz1558

I know! No warning, nothing. Annie, are you okay again?

7:59 am

Atalante

why, Lori, why?

7:59 am

LoriP

I felt that there was no gentle way to do it.

8:00 am

Anniebrook

*rubbing huge bump on forehead* ---thinking of suing Lori

8:00 am

Haz1558

You could have kind of sauntered up to the subject. 'You know the way I don't really like housework?' - that kind of thing.

8:00 am

Haz1558

Don't just think, Annie, get you a photo of that bruise before it goes down.

8:01 am

LoriP

Ooh Annie. I didn't consider the liability aspect. ***checks Insurance policy***

8:01 am

Anniebrook

*borrowing Ata's husband's camera to take lovely picture of huge bump*

8:01 am

LoriP

It's not like I'll do more tomorrow. It's a one time only thing. Let's not lose sight here people.

8:02 am

Anniebrook

Oh no, my lovely, you cant get out of this that easily!

8:02 am

Haz1558

So, now that you've shocked us rigid, can you tell us (a) why? and (b) what you're going to do? and (c) who has influenced you to do housework?

8:02 am

LoriP

I'm pretty sure cross border suing is expensive Annie!

8:03 am

Atalante

are you going to clean the shed?

8:03 am

Haz1558

And you have remembered to put pot pourri in the vacuum cleaner bag to make it all smell lovely?

8:03 am

gramma

2 left, both ce words, could someone help me,please?

8:04 am

LoriP

Ther shed will never be cleaned by these hnds! it's the realm of vagabonds and miscreants.

8:04 am

Anniebrook

Lori, I will drop the lawsuit this time..next time you decide to clean be careful of how you spread the word!

8:05 am

Haz1558

Hello gramma - ce6/27 - both exactly the same save for one letter. ce plus the pirate's drink with an extra vowel inserted, then the second one moves the third letter one along in the alphabet.

8:05 am

LoriP

The boys mumbled something about "stench, dirty, naked soon" so I'm doing laundry AND I plan to clean out the board game shelf and give away the (their words) "little kid games"

8:05 am

Atalante

laundry AND cleaning??!

8:06 am

LoriP

G'd mornign gramma. ***hugs Annie appreciatively***

8:06 am

gramma

8:06 am

Haz1558

Goodness, things must be bad if boys are declaring themselves to be less than fragrant.

8:06 am

LoriP

What can I do Ata? I've avoided it for weeks and yet the cleaning Fairy remains elusive.

8:06 am

LadyNatts

lol haz

8:06 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, gramma.

8:07 am

Atalante

can't you whip the children until they do it?

8:07 am

Christa

good morning haz...

8:07 am

LoriP

Sadly, that's what hit home Haz. Even THEY were finding it gamey. Speaks volumes.

8:07 am

Haz1558

Good morning Christa!

8:07 am

LoriP

Child labor. I like your style Ata.

8:08 am

LoriP

G'd mornign Lady, Christa

8:08 am

Haz1558

Oh well. Needs must and whilst I'm thrilled that you're going to be doing housework you do need to work on your announcing techniques.

8:08 am

Anniebrook

hear, hear!

8:08 am

Haz1558

And Annie agrees.

8:09 am

LoriP

***promises solemnly to find a better way to announce i when it happens again in a few months***

8:09 am

LoriP

*it even

8:09 am

Christa

good morning..LoriP... good luck with your cleaning goals

8:10 am

8:10 am

Anniebrook

hi christa

8:11 am

Christa

Hello Anniebrook..

8:11 am

Atalante

the next thing we know, haz will be trampling dirt and mud into the house!

8:12 am

Anniebrook

*faints again*

8:12 am

NonoNanette

oh the very thought!

8:12 am

Atalante

and letting La Glitterer sleep on the bed

8:12 am

Haz1558

Please! Perish the thought.

8:12 am

LoriP

hah! I didn't do it that time. ***revives Annie with laundry from my house***

8:13 am

LoriP

Let the dog INSIDE the house? Shirley not.

8:13 am

Trifioso

lori, you are killing me, you are so funny!

8:13 am

Haz1558

Sleep on the bed? You've absolutely got to be kidding. Husband just about tolerates her going up the stairs, any approach to the bed would just well, she knows not to.

8:14 am

Atalante

oh the horror!

8:14 am

Anniebrook

thanks, lori..I hope you are sorting the laundry.

8:14 am

Atalante

I bet your daughters let her sleep on th bed while you're away :P

8:14 am

Trifioso

hmmm, that's one of the best parts about the hubs not living here anymore. Diggity happily snoozing on bed right now!

8:14 am

LoriP

Haz wouldn't even show Spangle a picture of the interior of the house, never mind let 'im in....

8:14 am

Haz1558

She's in the house most of the time, she just has to sleep outside at night. She trudges sadly out every night, ears drooping, woebegone look.

8:15 am

Trifioso

even in the cold of winter? brrrrr

8:15 am

LoriP

Haz has a shed you know. Don't be snookered here people.

8:15 am

Atalante

to her freezing cold, empty kennel

8:15 am

Haz1558

Ata, older daughter tried to get her to sleep in her bedroom - she whined to get out.

8:15 am

Anniebrook

Of course the shed is heated and decorated

8:15 am

Trifioso

is it a heated shed?

8:15 am

Atalante

really? LOL that's funny!

8:16 am

NonoNanette

weeeeeeee all outside tiles are grey

8:16 am

Haz1558

It's a well insulated kennel. The cruelty people are usually easy enough to bribe.

8:16 am

Trifioso

rock on nono!

8:16 am

mkg

8:16 am

LoriP

***what a gullible lot you all are. It's a tiny cold shed, Spangle's in it 24/7***

9:39 am

Living in MN, I was surprised to see a whole flock (at least 10!) of robins here last week when the temp was hovering around 0 (F). I keep wondering what they were doing here in January!

Some robins don't migrate, Nef

9:39 am

9:40 am

Aloyisius

yup, i thought "aeon" must have been in there

9:40 am

Nef

But I've never seen a flock of robins in MN in the winter before. Sometimes we see 1 or 2 mis-guided robins, but not that many

9:41 am

CiociaJudy

someone around where I live also saw a bunch of robins. their GPS system must not be working! LOL

ok, i just had a 40 year old woman come in to my office to ask me whether it would be rude to knock on someone's office door, someone with whom she had an appointment, if it is shut and she can hear voices inside

12:03 pm

aslindy

what did you tell her?

12:04 pm

hurshy

i was like, um, no, that would be... normal. how do you get to be 40 and not know a basic thing like that?

12:04 pm

hurshy

(i'm just estimating her age, of course)

12:04 pm

hurshy

all i SAID was "no, it would not be rude"

12:04 pm

hurshy

but i was THINKING she's a little nuts!

12:05 pm

aslindy

well... I guess it might depend on how long she's been working at that kind of job... I don't know, seems kinda obvious to me, too

12:05 pm

hurshy

it's academia!

12:08 pm

aslindy

hurshy

well, i don't need a second opinion, personally. i KNOW it's crazy. :) academia is v laid back! i mean if you had some weird cranky arrogant professor, you might not WANT to knock, but it wouldn't be RUDE to do so.

12:15 pm

Nef

Duh! It helps to know how to spell, doesn't it? (I'd forgotten the vowel in the middle)

MonkeyGames

2:26 pm

phaeton

Right, thanks cuz that gave me the mu7!

2:27 pm

Madi95

jeez... they're expection another inch of ice and about 3 inches of snow by morning here

2:27 pm

phaeton

No wonder...I couldn't figure out why torgone said to add a vowel :)

2:27 pm

MonkeyGames

Here it just rains and glooms, mostly.

2:27 pm

phaeton

No school tomorrow!!

2:27 pm

Madi95

2:27 pm

MonkeyGames

I am still having a tiny bit of trouble deciding where to add that vowel...

2:27 pm

2:28 pm

MonkeyGames

It has been 6 degrees C and drizzly for three days.

2:28 pm

phaeton

MG...there is only one place you can add it...after the U

2:28 pm

Madi95

did you say the we4/11 is supposed to be strange, or was that another one?

2:29 pm

MonkeyGames

Ah, I was adding the wrong vowel... thanks!

2:29 pm

phaeton

clue for en6?

2:29 pm

MonkeyGames

OK, gotta go. En 6 is to make a slave. Bye for now!

2:30 pm

I thought it was strange, but didn't know the meaning.

2:39 pm

Atalante

yep!

2:40 pm

Lizsark

sorry about disappearing - we had a power cut

2:40 pm

Atalante

wah!

2:41 pm

Lizsark

I know! In my babble time!

2:41 pm

Atalante

outrageous!

2:42 pm

Lizsark

Almost as outrageous as the cost of the electric - but not quite :)

2:42 pm

Atalante

sounds like here!

2:43 pm

Lizsark

well we are kind of had over a barrel as the Power Station here is privately owned and we cannot get electricity from anywhere else. We pay 41p per unit - my last quarter bill was over Â£600!

2:44 pm

Atalante

omg!

2:44 pm

Atalante

I'd get a wind turbine!

2:45 pm

Lizsark

We are aiming to eventually. And solar panels. Its finding the money to start with...

2:45 pm

Takuma Sato

howdy folks

2:46 pm

Lizsark

Hi Tak

2:46 pm

Takuma Sato

yire

2:46 pm

Takuma Sato

ick

2:46 pm

Takuma Sato

ignominious beginning to my game

2:46 pm

Takuma Sato

sorry about that

2:46 pm

Lizsark

LOL

2:46 pm

Atalante

solar panels sound like a good start

2:47 pm

Takuma Sato

even more embarrassingly, it was a bad monkeying attempt

2:47 pm

Lizsark

Its mad - we have to be so careful. Only lights on in the room we are in, everything else switched off at the walls, gas cookers...

2:47 pm

smaller

i tried 'yire' earlier too. you're in good company

2:47 pm

Lizsark

to the sin bin with you Tak!!! :))

2:48 pm

Atalante

isn't it worth getting a generator? would that be cheaprer?

2:48 pm

Lizsark

We can't - something to do with some stupid feudal law...

2:48 pm

Atalante

grrrrrr

2:49 pm

Atalante

how close do you live to the sea? are youright next to it?

2:50 pm

Lizsark

Right next to it but 300ft up from it!

2:51 pm

Atalante

*ponders* I'm just starting an MSc in coastal zone management, and the first course which I'm doing now is Environmental Impact Assessment, I wonder if I could look into how private land laws work with alternative energy - we have to do a project!

2:53 pm

Lizsark

LOL can we do it in Africa or the Middle East then please??

2:54 pm

Atalante

I'm determined to do my major MSc project somewhere warm, but this one will be more searching european union laws *joy*

2:55 pm

Atalante

Elsie Oxenham didn't write Chalet School books *rolle eyes* :P

2:56 pm

Madi95

i've GOT to stop listening to music while playing babble... too distracting. This song is about the cry of a modern businessman. :)

2:56 pm

Atalante

She wrote the Abbey School series, just as long!

2:56 pm

Madi95

Life in my cubicle is discreet, Life in my cubicle is neat I've got some pictures of my friends
Some sharpened pencils...where's my pen? Ten O'clock I'm in a meeting.
Paper cut I think I'm bleeding! Check my hair it's still receding, Hey what a life?
Break for lunch, there's nothing better! Run outside and don my sweater. I'm over worked, and underpaid, and unappreciated. It's just a perk of being of being middle class and educated. One: spinning circles in my chair Two: win a game of solitaire Three: And I ponder where my stapler's gone. Four O'clock and I stare at the door, And I stare at my watch, Then I stare at the door I stand by my desk like I'm going to war. There's just one thing I'll be needing, Grab my paycheck as I'm leaving Oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhh Five O'clock it's time to go. There's crowds to fight and time to blow
Im talking fast on my cell phone. Hey, watch out thatâ€™s reckless driving!
Five O'clock. It's time to hit the couch and watch TV. Set the clock and go to sleep
It's 8 a.m. on Monday morning Again and again and again and again and again

2:56 pm

phaeton

Madi? You ok?

2:57 pm

Madi95

Why can't I listen to pop and rap like my friends? I don't know... I'm just strange

2:57 pm

Lizsark

DOH Slaps head! Of course she didn't! It was Elinor Brent Dyer!!!! Wrong school!!!

2:58 pm

Atalante

*I* collect Brent-Dyer though LOL

2:59 pm

Lizsark

Do you? Have you got the Chalet School in Exile?

2:59 pm

phaeton

How big is the E word from the right E?

2:59 pm

Atalante

2:59 pm

2:59 pm

KatieMcG

evening everyone

3:00 pm

Atalante

that's why I was originally interested in Lihou - Exile, and the La Rochelle series

3:00 pm

Madi95

4 letters

3:00 pm

Atalante

hi kitt!

3:00 pm

Lizsark

LOL Its a bit of an oddity because it was written before the Germans invaded the islands. In the book the school is exiled to Guernsey!!!

3:00 pm

phaeton

thank you fuquay...Hi Katie

3:00 pm

Atalante

yes, but then it have to run again ahead of the Germans to South Wales

3:00 pm

fuquayvarina

down to my last 3, and the monkeys are panting. are there some really ODD S, L, and A words? Two 4 and one 5, and I just can't see them.

3:02 pm

Lizsark

Talking of which - I just read The Welsh Girl - have you read it?

3:02 pm

Atalante

the main family the school meets in Guernsey - the Laceys - are the main characters for the La Rochelle series, though the CS and LR series overlap occasionally throughout

3:02 pm

Lizsark

oh ok - didn't know that :) I learn something new every day lol

3:03 pm

Atalante

no ... but I'm reading something I must send down to you when I've finished it - about a middle-aged lady who decided to walk the pilgrim's way from Winchester to Canterbury

3:03 pm

Atalante

and in one book, the girls get out at night and try and walk over Lihou. they get there but see a "ghost" and run back

3:04 pm

Christine

Atalante, what is the name of the book you're reading?

3:04 pm

Lizsark

Oh that sounds good! I'm up to my ears in books about the Mitford sisters at the mo.

3:04 pm

mo

3:05 pm

Atalante

she talks a lot about the rituals and life of long-distance walks, it's really interesting

3:06 pm

Atalante

no - the Mitfords used to live - I think - or their father I think used to live in Batsford House - the Dulverton Estate. One of the men was Lord Dulverton

3:06 pm

fuquayvarina

thanks, mo, don't have that one

3:06 pm

Atalante

in moreton-in-marsh

3:06 pm

Atalante

I can't remember it exactly, it's all written out in the local church

3:07 pm

Christine

Thank you, Atalante /// I'll see if I can get it at the library.

3:07 pm

Lizsark

Yes, they owned Batsford, but the father had to sell it fairly soon after he inherited it as he couldn't afford to keep it! That is so weird! Can't believe you grew up there!

3:07 pm

Atalante

i'm loving it. it's a very gentle book, but peaceful and warm and fulfilling

3:07 pm

mo

aj + 2 vowels

3:07 pm

Atalante

yep! I walk hobbit there sometimes too!

3:08 pm

3:09 pm

3:10 pm

Christine

Atlante - I don't know how old you are, but for me I find I'm returning to books I read as a child/young woman, and those my parents read. Life seemed so much calmer in those days.

3:10 pm

abetterjulie

3:10 pm

Atalante

3:10 pm

Atalante

Yes Mo I have that feeling about her

3:21 pm

jillibus

I must reread them some day. I think the only one I had was Winter Holiday -- I read it over and over again, which is what I used to do with favourite books like Just So Stories and of course the Chritopher Robin ones.

3:21 pm

mo

stank ... add 2 letters to the al5/10.

3:22 pm

3:23 pm

Lizsark

When I was a child my very favourites were the Secret Garden and A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett - along with every pony story I could lay my hands on!!

3:23 pm

Christine

What about Enid Blytons books, about the FIVE - I learned about invosible writing, and how to get out of a locked room (saw someone do it on The Mentalist, last week - I guess one of the writers read the same books)

3:24 pm

fuquayvarina

yes, mine too, liz!

3:24 pm

Atalante

I loved the Chalet School books, I still do. They were my very favourites.

3:24 pm

mo

3:25 pm

thanks, got it after monkeying

3:25 pm

fuquayvarina

I love children's books, especially the old ones, and still reread them

3:25 pm

o-o

as a youngster, Spot Espies A Dot had particular significance

3:25 pm

Atalante

and Joyce Stranger books

3:27 pm

jillibus

I was discouraged from reading "schoolgirl stories" by my dad, who provided Dickens and Lamb's Tales from Shekespeare. When I was ii I won a prize for a story I had written and the prize was "Cecile at St. Clare's" -- a "schoolgirl story", LOL

3:27 pm

Lizsark

Joyce Stranger! Oh yes! A Walk in the Dark - I loved that and Twos Company

3:28 pm

jillibus

when I was 11, not ii, duh.

3:28 pm

Lizsark

LOL Jilli thats irony for you

3:28 pm

Atalante

I lvoed all her cat books. Casey. and Kim.

3:29 pm

Lizsark

A Walk in the Dark was mainly why I went the education route I did

3:29 pm

fuquayvarina

car pool time. bye all! have a lovely evening, everyone.

3:29 pm

Atalante

I'm so glad someone else likes her books, I've never known anyone else liking them before!

3:30 pm

Christine

I'm amazed how many people don't read - a young woman on tv said she reads at least two books a year ... sad, but she beats those who've not read a book since leaving school.

3:30 pm

Atalante

thats just awful!

3:30 pm

Uniquity

"At least two books a year"???? Oh heavens...that would be torture to me. I couldn't not read.

3:30 pm

Lizsark

Really! OMG! I read around 4-5 books each week!

3:30 pm

Atalante

UNI!!!!

3:31 pm

Atalante

exactly! 2 books a week is stressful!

3:31 pm

Atalante

as in not enough

3:31 pm

Uniquity

I must admit that when in school I do tend to read less for pleasure, but I am still reading something!

3:31 pm

Lizsark

I read all the time! I've even been known to read while out walking the dog - probably explains why I lose him so often lol

3:32 pm

Atalante

lol me too, I *always* have a book in my bag

3:32 pm

Uniquity

Working in a bookstore helps...although no-one believes me on if a book is a quick read, cuz I read too fast/too many, they say.

3:32 pm

Lizsark

I even have a book shop LOL LOL LOL

3:32 pm

Uniquity

LOL Liz...I walked into a parked car that way more than once!

3:32 pm

Lizsark

LOL Uni

3:33 pm

Lizsark

My entire house is built of books. I spent my childhood being taken from one book fair to another by my parents and it stuck right from when I was tiny

3:33 pm

Uniquity

Yay for independent bookshops! :)

3:33 pm

Lizsark

:))

3:33 pm

Atalante

my house is mostly books too

3:33 pm

Christine

I was a sickly child, spent a lot of time in hospitals, the resting at home, so books were and are a big part of my life. And now, in retirement, I practice my two favourite things - lying on the couch and reading. Thank heavens for the library; I read about ten books each week.

3:33 pm

Uniquity

LoriP is a little displeased with my book collection...mostly because it is almost all at her house, even after selling all my books from early teenagerhood.

3:33 pm

Lizsark

Great minds :) Isn't this wonderful that we all think this way

3:34 pm

Uniquity

Our library website has a great new function to put in a subject and get suggestions on enjoyable books..I just make lists all the time.

3:34 pm

Atalante

3:35 pm

I've loved being in my book club too because I've read things that I probably wouldn't have otherwise and thoroughly enjoyed them

3:35 pm

Uniquity

**Wants to live at Ata's house***

3:35 pm

Lizsark

Oh ata! LOL! Its tidier than mine!

3:35 pm

Uniquity

I've never been in a book club...I think it would be wonderful!

3:36 pm

Atalante

that was the wall than husband's aunt saw and told me I was a disgrace and lived in squalour!

3:36 pm

phaeton

Are the M words all MU?

3:36 pm

jillibus

oh ata! That's worse than my mess!

3:36 pm

Uniquity

While I adore "messy" shelves, I compulsively clean mine up and make them straight once a month or so to fit more stuff on.

3:37 pm

Lizsark

Uni there are about 14 of us and we are all friends. We meet at one anothers houses and have a lovely night once a month'ish where we have a glass or two of wine and chat about books

Hello all -- just dropping in for those enduring dreadful weather in the Northeast -- a historical note from the Old Farmer's Almanac -- On this day (Jan 27) in 1772, George Washington reported the start of a storm that dropped 3 feet of snow at his residence, Mount Vernon, and Thomas Jeferson recorded about 3 feet of snow at Monticello -- a lot for those areas of Virginia. This event became known as the Washington-Jefferson storm.

A historical note from the Old Farmer's Almanac -- On this day (Jan 27) in 1772, George Washington reported the start of a storm that dropped 3 feet of snow at his residence, Mount Vernon, and Thomas Jefferson recorded about 3 feet of snow at Monticello -- a lot for those areas of Virginia. This event became known as the Washington-Jefferson storm.

11:28 pm

tygerbryght

jilli, before I turn the computer off, I'm responding to your last msg about my health :)

11:29 pm

tygerbryght

I have news that may mollify you somewhat ;)

11:31 pm

jillibus

just read your profile, tyger

11:31 pm

tygerbryght

that was aimed at others, not you, jilli :)

11:31 pm

Jellen

Just read it too, tyger...

11:32 pm

jillibus

did a doctor confirm that diagnosis, tyger?

11:36 pm

jillibus

where did tyger go?

11:38 pm

jillibus

11:38 pm

11:39 pm

Jellen

Need to take a picture of some we've made...

11:39 pm

tygerbryght

11:40 pm

o2baflyndog

there are some really odd words in this grid. my husband says we4/11 is past tense of waft. =) I looked up the word and I like his definition better.

11:40 pm

tygerbryght

well, we4 is the name of part of the threads used on a loom for weaving :)

11:40 pm

tygerbryght

the other half of the threads are the warp

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

or is the warp. whatever :D

11:41 pm

tygerbryght

not feeling my punditry best

11:42 pm

tygerbryght

al8 is the old fashioned word for a psychiatrist

11:42 pm

tygerbryght

11:43 pm

jillibus

okay, here are my earrings (refresh)

11:44 pm

tygerbryght

ooooooh, jilli. very exotic & sexy

11:44 pm

tygerbryght

but they look heavy

11:44 pm

jillibus

well, different

11:45 pm

jillibus

not heavy -- thin silver

11:45 pm

tygerbryght

well, that's good for the wearer ;)

11:45 pm

jillibus

bad photo -- not easy to do -- stuck them into styrofoam

11:46 pm

tygerbryght

they're reminescent of Byzantine stuff (or at least they strike me that way)

11:47 pm

herinfernallady

I am lurking. Jil they are beautiful earings.

11:47 pm

eyebum

11:47 pm

11:49 pm

o2baflyndog

do any of you have babble races with your family members/friends?

11:50 pm

herinfernallady

i dont

11:50 pm

jillibus

Not I, o2 -- can't talk any of the family into playing

11:51 pm

Jellen

I race with Tim sometimes, at the very start of a grid...we're pretty evenly matched and come up with very different words...

11:51 pm

jillibus

thanks for the kind words, herin

11:51 pm

o2baflyndog

it's kind of fun. I usually don't have time to complete the grid, but my husband and I start at the same time and see who can get to a certain # first, or who has the most words after a period of time. =)

11:51 pm

jillibus

oh well, o2 -- I live alone

11:51 pm

tygerbryght

herin's right - just in case my comments didn't convey my sentiments, jilli. :) I need to go tend to email & other stuff, so I'm gonna call it a night here. nytol

11:52 pm

Jellen

G'night, tyger

11:52 pm

jillibus
