germericanqt

1:36 am
PAV3
Alas... I don't think I'd be able to go after all..I just realised I'd have to have some sort of document that tells the world I'm an "American" in order to get back home....

1:47 am

Yay, nbt!
1:55 am

1:57 am
Just1Mar
of course westie, there will be many many of those small minded people...or maybe it's just their way of survival
1:57 am
PAV3
NM does not hold my interest any longer...the native americans are just like us, only perhaps poorer, the scenery is flat and bland for the most part, and the job market is def "who you know, not what you know"...I was scoffed at for being snobbish when I first moved there, they just weren't educated enough for me...I stil lrefer the NM as being a bit backwards..def slower pace with not much to do...

2:45 am
Just1Mar

2:48 am
westford
we also have lots of tourists
2:48 am
Just1Mar
it's so hard to explain here...but we use the cable station that's available here cause it services our bedroom tv too but has less variety cause there's more french but...
2:48 am
westford
did you get the DVD player hooked up?
2:48 am
Just1Mar
if it took the phone satelite...I'd get more choice but would have to buy to set tops for both tv's (a fortune)
2:49 am
westford
I think we rent ours
2:49 am
Just1Mar
we have to buy no choice
2:50 am
westford
I'd chuck the whole works but then we'd have to get one of those digital boxes
2:50 am
Just1Mar
yes dvd player is hooked up but don't even use it....I just download whatever and transfer it to the media player that plays it on the tv
2:51 am
westford

2:53 am
Just1Mar
what is FIOS?
2:54 am
Just1Mar
a 2 hour movie takes about 20 min
2:54 am
westford
fiber optics operating system I think
2:54 am
westford
comes through the phone line but uses existing sat. wires
2:54 am
Just1Mar
unless it's an HDTV (much bigger file)
2:54 am
westford
we d/l a movie and it took 23 hours lol
2:55 am
Just1Mar
oh well fiber optics is supposed to be fast and good, no?
2:55 am
westford
it was HD but really
2:55 am
Just1Mar
well was it from a peer to peer site...??
2:55 am
westford
that's what he says he can't wait
2:56 am
westford
we streamed it from our computer
2:56 am
Just1Mar
peer to peer means that while you're downloading, others are uploading off you...that is really slow....
2:56 am
westford
not sure if it was peer to peer
2:56 am
Just1Mar
where I d/l from there's no upload to others...
2:56 am
westford
oh I don't think so
2:57 am
westford
but maybe that's why it took so long
2:57 am
Just1Mar
I have seen so much TV and movies westie....at first it was taking me almost the same time as you but I've evolved lol
2:58 am
Just1Mar
with thanks to my son...for showing me the way...
2:58 am

3:01 am
westford
is it like hulu?
3:01 am
Just1Mar
I bought this unit that plugs into my tv ...so I transfer what I've d'l'ed onto that device then plug it into the tv and watch it there too...
3:02 am
Just1Mar
I don't really know what hulu is westie cause it won't allow Canadians to use it :(
3:04 am
westford
probably the same I just checked out your site and I think I'm going to like it
3:04 am
Just1Mar
This site....TVFL (TVFreeload) has people who upload tv shows and movies to a site wherebye you can d/l from....all you are doing is downloading....there is no peer to peer ...which means than people are uploading off you while you are d/ling off others....so easy to explain yet so hard too
3:05 am
westford
what's the name of your device?
3:05 am
Just1Mar
well if you have any questions westie about it, just email me...
3:05 am
westford
I get it
3:05 am
westford
but I'm sure I will have questions
3:06 am
Just1Mar
I forget I'd have to go upstairs to check but basically it's a "media player" that takes the .avi files that most visual medial is used and allows it to be played on your tv
3:07 am
westford
appletv is sort of the same but only takes movies etc from iTunes
3:07 am
westford
so they cost
3:07 am
Just1Mar
I bought it in Toronto...but it's made in Calif....
3:07 am
Just1Mar

3:08 am
westford
was just thinking that lol
3:08 am
westford
and now for a Babble question
3:09 am
Just1Mar
well this is free....when you use it for free...you have usually a 45 second delay...and maybe an ad but that's a small price to pay for finding whatever you want, whenever you want
3:09 am
westford
left corner t I have the mistake and the froggy what is the other please?
3:09 am
westford

3:30 am
Just1Mar

3:30 am
Just1Mar
sigh..tired thinking about it
3:30 am
westford
yikes me too
3:30 am
Just1Mar
but he wanted to....
3:31 am
westford
we all live too far away from each other to do that and I can hardly get my mother to come here
3:31 am
westford
a few times I've brought everything over to her house and it was just not worth it
3:31 am
Just1Mar

3:31 am
Just1Mar
I understand that westie...
3:32 am
westford
and I understand him as well
3:32 am
Just1Mar
if I had to do it all over again tho...I would NeveR marry a child of a holocaust survivor
3:32 am
westford

3:33 am
Just1Mar
too much fu**ing guilt and guilting is serious stuff
3:33 am
Just1Mar

3:33 am
Just1Mar
she moved to Toronto back in 81
3:34 am
Just1Mar

3:36 am
westford

3:38 am
Just1Mar

3:38 am
westford

3:38 am
Just1Mar
yes for sure...
3:39 am
Just1Mar
I am not a religious person whatsoever but did you know that there are only about 13 million Jews worldwide?
3:39 am
westford
I know there are not many heard there are more Jews in NYC than in Israel
3:39 am
Just1Mar
about 6 million live is Israel...4 million in the states and the other 3 million scattered across the globe...
3:40 am
westford
I got my figures mixed up
3:40 am
westford
but still when you think of it that's not very many
3:40 am
Just1Mar
and there are about 400 million muslim arabs in the middle east...yet we are the scapegoats and the threat to world peace
3:41 am
Just1Mar
very few in fact
3:41 am
westford
Israel is standing up for her rights
3:41 am
westford
one of my favorite Bob Dylan songs is Neighborhood Bully
3:42 am
westford
do you know it?
3:42 am
Just1Mar
I regard my heritage as both Canadian and Jewish....and both are totally non secular....
3:43 am
Just1Mar
I am just a traditionalist....and my philosphy is ...live and let live...that's it ..that's all
3:43 am
westford
I still say mothers should rule the world
3:43 am
mrpresident
hi again... can anyone tell me about 'costco'??
3:43 am
Just1Mar
let me live my way in peace and harmony and you go live whatever way you want to but don't cross me...
3:44 am
westford
it's great mrp lots of bargains but you have to buy in bulk
3:44 am
Just1Mar
or women
3:44 am
Just1Mar
what would you like to know about Costco, MrP?
3:44 am
westford
they've taken ours away
3:44 am
westford
and I miss it
3:45 am
Just1Mar
it is a warehouse club store where prices are cheaper but selection is minimal...but top brands sold there and you have to sign up to be a member
3:45 am
mrpresident
ah, bulk buy!! they haven't mentioned that at yet....
allegedly, Costco is coming to our shores and they want us to know what to expect
3:45 am
Just1Mar
oh you'll love it MrP
3:46 am
westford
the cost of a membership is about $35 a year and you can save that the first time
3:46 am
Just1Mar
westie my hubby shops there every week!!!
3:46 am
mrpresident
their big drawcard is that costco has NEVER had withdawl from a foreign market
3:47 am
Just1Mar
and also here, in Canada...they only take cash...debit card or Costco AMex
3:47 am
westford
we have BJ's now it's similar but I liked the electronics at Costco never had to bring anything back
3:47 am
westford
mrp if you have a place to store stuff it's great..i.e. 36 rolls of toilet paper
3:48 am
Just1Mar
we have a lot less than you in choices westie (although other provinces have much more selection)
3:48 am
westford
I only write checks at BJ's since someone hacked into their system and we had to change our credit card numbers
3:49 am
Just1Mar
we always buy that stuff in bulk...they also have great meat...bakery....all kinds of stuff
3:49 am
Just1Mar
what's BJ's??
3:49 am
westford
the trick is if you see something you like you'd better buy it because next week it will be gone
3:49 am
westford
same as Costco
3:50 am
westford
the store in NH sold beer and wine the one here doesn't
3:50 am
Just1Mar
Well at Costco tho....products remain ongoing for many months/years...
3:50 am
mrpresident
we have something similar here called Campbells Cash and Carry, but they don't have denim and diamonds as well
3:50 am
Just1Mar
at least most of them
3:50 am
mrpresident
they are not allowed to sell alcohol here at costco
3:50 am
Just1Mar
lol well not sure about the diamonds but the denim,,,yeah for sure
3:51 am
Just1Mar
here they are only allowed to sell beer and wine but in Mexico, Costco sells hard liquor...depends on the country's laws
3:51 am
westford
when we lived in the DC area there was a great costco I bought some lovely waterford champagne flutes for a song
3:51 am
westford
here it goes by state
3:52 am
Just1Mar
and here by province...
3:52 am
mrpresident
the laws here are solid... if children can come in with parents, no alcohol sold
3:52 am
westford
that's a good rule
3:52 am
Just1Mar
but I go (used to go) to Mexico every year and even the WalMart there also sells hard liquor beer wine etc
3:53 am
westford
same in VA could get it all in the supermarket
3:54 am
Just1Mar
a litre bottle of Kaluha sells for 10$ US in Mexico...here a 750 ML bottle sells for 305 CAD
3:54 am
westford
mrp when are they expecting costco to arrive?
3:54 am
westford
wow did you bring a lot back?
3:55 am
mrpresident
they have started building, and reckon it will be ready to trade in 6 weeks
3:55 am
mrpresident
you mean 30$ CAD??
3:55 am
Just1Mar
and they had 90 proof kaluha if you wanted it
3:55 am
westford
that's quick
3:56 am
Just1Mar
no westie I usually bring back 2 1 litre bottles of Bailey's Irish Creme for $25 US
3:56 am
Just1Mar
we're only allowed on bottle per person :(
3:57 am
westford
when we go on cruise we bring back the alloted amount and then forget we have it
3:57 am
forwardbyfaith

4:03 am
westford
thanks I"m sure we'll enjoy it
4:03 am
westford
please send the recipe for the ribs too
4:04 am
westford
I really like the idea of boiling them first with vinegar
4:05 am
Just1Mar
it makes them sooo tender but the simmering (not boiling) shrinks them up the bone a bit
4:05 am
Just1Mar
otherwise you'd have to slow cook them for many hours...
4:06 am
westford
simmer first then bake?
4:06 am
Just1Mar
and that's just not practical
4:07 am
Just1Mar
and will send it to you too spritey...won't forget :)
4:07 am
Just1Mar
bake or grill on bbq
4:07 am
westford
grill in maine oven here

4:09 am
Just1Mar
sounds like a nike commercial
4:09 am
westford

4:09 am
Just1Mar
you can do it in the oven but I'd just broil them at the end to crisp up the marinade

4:16 am
westford

4:16 am
herinfernallady
I am sick of taking Mr Stinky to the dry cleans only to have Mr Stinky is still stinky
4:16 am
westford
it's made for hand washables like lingerie and sweaters
4:16 am
herinfernallady
Its my long lestat coat
4:17 am
westford
that sounds very nice
4:17 am
westford

4:18 am
herinfernallady
No wedding here now.
4:18 am
herinfernallady
No its stinky
4:18 am
westford
I'm sorry I keep messing up that wedding was last Thursday?
4:19 am
westford
can you just air it out?
4:19 am
herinfernallady
Mr Stinky is stinky I would take it to a dry cleaner but I am still unsure as it goes to the dry cleaner and comes back stinky. Yes there was a wedding last week
4:19 am
westford
what about Febreze?
4:19 am
westford
supposed to take smells out of fabric
4:20 am
herinfernallady
Nope this is high density MR Stinky
4:21 am
westford
silk is hard though I bought a silk sweater set and it must have come over on a fishing boat or something just could not get the fishy smell out
4:21 am
herinfernallady
ewww
4:22 am
lynxxx
Hand wash it Infernal - got some velvet soap or similar? Can take reasonably warm water. Just be careful ironing it...not too hot, easy to scorch. A trick is to put it into a plastic bag after it is dry and into the fridge before you iron it
4:22 am
westford
yes it was awful finally had to throw it away
4:22 am
herinfernallady
Thanks Lynxx. The fridge?
4:22 am
westford
hi lyn what a good idea
4:23 am
herinfernallady
eww West
4:23 am
herinfernallady
I wouldn't Iron it. IT is silk inside lining
4:23 am
lynxxx
I'm saying fridge but it might be freezer
4:23 am
herinfernallady
Why the fridge Freezer?
4:24 am
lynxxx
Oh, it's not all silk? What is the rest of the fabric?
4:24 am
lynxxx
Fridge makes it easier to iron
4:24 am
herinfernallady
I think the outer *not otter* is cotton
4:25 am
lynxxx
Linen perhaps?
4:25 am
herinfernallady
Maybe not sure all i know is its stinky
4:26 am
lynxxx
Look at the contents label, sometimes on right side seam at thigh level if not on neck
4:26 am
herinfernallady
There is no label. Its very old
4:26 am
herinfernallady
and stinky
4:27 am
lynxxx
More than 30 years?
4:27 am
herinfernallady
No about 15
4:28 am
herinfernallady
(and stinky boy that i got it from didn't wear deodorant)

There must have been a care/contents label then (by law). Look at the side seam, perhaps under the lining if loose
4:29 am
herinfernallady
It was hand made
4:29 am
herinfernallady
and has been repaired
4:30 am
lynxxx
Anyway, I am guessing if it is silk lined then it is probably linen, which is hard to iron. I would hand wash and dry in open air. Then take it to a dry cleaners for press only
4:31 am
herinfernallady
The dry cleaners just cant eliminate the taint
4:31 am
westford
calling it a day bye all
4:31 am

...which is why YOU wash and dry it, and they JUST press. Should solve your problem
4:32 am
herinfernallady
Night West.
4:32 am
herinfernallady
Really I thought that they cleaned it hence the Dry Clean
4:35 am
herinfernallady
Sorry to sound dumb
4:37 am
lynxxx
They are just going to spot any noticable stains and throw it into the machine with the cemicals. A good loving gentle handwash by yourself is going to be more effective
4:38 am
lynxxx
...as long as you are sure that the fabrics are 'natural' and not synthetic mind you
4:38 am
herinfernallady
I honestly never knew that Lynxx thank you. The previous owner has said that it survived the clubs its indistructable
4:42 am

I used to have a few white and cream silk shirts and gave up drycleaning them when I noticed how yellow they were becoming with the drycleaning chemicals. Ironing was a bitch however

I got smoke odor out of a quilt by tumbling in a dryer with Lysol spray....for a good while mind you.

me7 please?
4:58 am

my mother-in-law gave me a beautiful quilt that her mother had pieced and someone else finished. to my chagrin, whomever finished it used *shudder* glue to "assist" in binding and now the glue has yellowed. any ideas how to clean that?
4:59 am

me7 - a huge natural pea container
4:59 am
gdine
What kind of glue??
5:00 am
Hunter
elmer's glue, i presume.
5:00 am
REG
for the fish smell Borax might work
5:01 am
gdine
I would try hand washing.....soak in a bathtub with soap, not detergent. Let the water drain out when you are done. You can spin in the washing machine, just don't agitate.
5:02 am
Hunter
soap? you mean like hand-soap?
5:03 am
REG
elmers is water soluble - though maybe not after years! a long soak might allow you to wash it out
5:03 am
REG
Could it be that iron-on binding?
5:04 am
Hunter
it has been many years. but if it's water soluble early-on, then maybe i can get lucky now.
5:04 am
Hunter
no, it's definitely not iron-on.
5:05 am
Hunter
you're talking about fusible link, right?
5:05 am
REG
Right -- fusible stuff.
5:06 am
Hunter
sorry, fusible webbing. :) fusbile link is different altogether.
5:07 am
Hunter
no, i've seen that and this is hand-sewn, but there's glue. my mother-in-law asked the lady she'd comissioned to finish it and she admits it's glue.
5:07 am
Hunter
(shame on her)
5:10 am
Hunter
thank you, REG. i hadn't thought of trying something as simple as your suggestion. it probably cannot hurt.
5:15 am
REG
I used to use Elmers to put the badges on my sons' scout uniforms before sewing them. It kept them in place better than pins

Sorry Eva - havent got to the 8's yet
5:20 am

Sorry....had to dress for the gym....soap for hand wash would be things like Ivory Snow or Woolite...or if you are hard core, order Orvis from a web site or get it at a farm supply, also used to wash animals...I'm not kidding! And using glue on a quilt is not horrible. It just should have been washed right after the stitching was done!

It is also not that user friendly...

I have been wondering - the number of grids must be finite, right? There are only so many combos that could result in a significant number of workable english language puzzles....

8:06 am

eventually we will have been presented all the grids there are to do, yes?
8:06 am

8:06 am
o-o
the number of words keeps increasing
8:07 am
Trifioso
really, br? I was wondering....I mean, if one grid was all J's, or had no vowels, it wouldn't be an acceptable grid.
8:07 am

someone will remember, speed!!!

Hi {{{Uni}}}}
8:11 am
Trifioso
but here's the rub, uni - a good number of those grids will be completely useless - all cons, all vowels, no actual words in, all one letter, etc. I couldn't figure out an equation for how many workable grids there would be.
8:11 am
Uniquity
That doesn't consider wether we can find words in it or not, of course, but as long as there is one word, it is a grid, soo..
8:12 am

It's still gonna be a very large number. More than enough to take us through our lifetimes, I would assume.

I'm now reading her autiobiography. Thanks, again.

I lock my door only when I go to bed, or am to be away overnight, otherwise I close the door and the screen, and off we go. Of course, I live in an apartment complex where everyone is DD's age, so I think they look after me as an extra Gran'ma, and would be aware if someone came to yje door.

Got my 08-09 yearbook today, and you could tell it was edited by students.

All the plurals had needless apostrophes, people's names were misspelled...

If they were edited by me they'd be just fine

The kids are just taught things that aren't relevant to basic grammar after about grade 4-7

To be honest, I don't like when you aren't taught something that they don't believe in

you talking about evolution?
5:49 pm
Rushie
Pretty much

Rushie
I also don't like being forced into something like a religion
5:50 pm
Rushie
I like to make my own choices about what I want to believe. Good thing I wasn't forced to read the Bible, I would have thought it fiction.
5:50 pm
Book Doctor Gwen
no, i don't think it was refusing to teach it, just being un-educated on it, and unable to teach the basic theory of natural selection correctly
5:50 pm
Rushie
Some of the older schools don't even teach things they don't think matter

nothing wrong with learning about the bible, (and I say that as an atheist), but obviously not if it is used for religious indoctrination in the public school

Interesting conversation, thanks. My husband and I were talking about this the other night...he made the comment that Americans believe themselves to be the centre of the universe (world) and therefore only need to know about themselves.

Lynxx - I agree -(babblers excepted) I read somewhere that only 23% of Americans hold passports. And thats fine - they have every possible holiday destination within their country. But in terms of global experience, they may be called a bit narrow. (will I be stoned for that)

i mean to us, it is so wonderfully exotic when brits say they are gong on holiday to frence or italy or greese - no big ocean to cross. and of course there is the cost, in our large country there is a wide variety of economic strata...it seems standard of living in some european countries is much higher actually than ours.

9:53 pm
kadresa
Ya the weather was lousy and then to have them not even get on stage is very disappointing (I was a nervous wreck about him driving though).
9:53 pm
J. C.
Grids like this are good for exhausting one mentally, to match their state of physical tiredness . . .
9:53 pm

When I got home from Kathy Griffin, and after I tended to Pearl (my dog) and my elbow (I had fallen), I totally needed to unwind.

10:02 pm
Minveryork
I'm tired too. I had carnival day at my school. In the morning I was in charge of limbo & in the afternoon I was in charge of the can toss. Was raising&lowering limbo stick all morning and picking up&setting up the cans all morning for the can toss activity.Then I had a summer school meeting after school. I was lifting & unpacking heavy boxes for two hours. Then I had an hr drive back home. I am EXHAUSTED! Sorry to carry on about my day. Anyway, won't last here very long.
10:02 pm
pam
Never had morphine. Nyquil has no real effect....
10:02 pm
