crosshair

11:00 am

crosshair

yes,last grid was so annoying i didnt even list it

11:00 am

redturtlehead

I must start using the crock pot again Crossy, sorry to hear youa re all under the weather.

11:01 am

street spirit

Thinking about it :) depends how many pennies can be found between the cushions of the sofa!

11:01 am

crosshair

indeed red,you start using it again and you wonder why you let it gather dust down in the cupbard

11:02 am

rbud

oooh, maybe I'll blow the dust off my crockpot, too, hmmmm...

11:02 am

redturtlehead

I do wish our weather would cool just a bit though, its disgusting...

11:02 am

crosshair

i have a pot roast in the freezer and may do it up in the crock pot next with some taters and carrots and onoins

11:03 am

crosshair

nice here red..bout 70 f and sunny;))

11:03 am

crosshair

sept always seems to be our best month:)

11:03 am

rbud

haven't bought a pot roast in ages, my frugal (tightwad) nature rebels when I see the cost! :(

11:04 am

crosshair

i wait till they come on sale(bout 6 dollars)

11:04 am

rbud

haha, what happened to my :( ??

11:04 am

Nef

hi again. I used to hate cleaning my old crockpot (wedding gift from the 70's, doesn't have the removeable crock). But those new crockpot liner bags are great! They make clean up a breeze

11:04 am

rbud

liner bags? wow, how'd I miss those?

11:04 am

crosshair

mine has the removable liner as well nef

11:05 am

crosshair

the whole stone liner comes out

11:05 am

rbud

so does mine, but it's so heavy I fear dropping it in the sink or on the floor every time I mess with it.

11:05 am

Nef

I inherited a crockpot with the removable liner recently. Those are so easy to clean in the sink compared to my original one

11:06 am

crosshair

as soon as we got this one,we gave the old one to re-use centre

11:06 am

crosshair

may try and make my moms chicken and dumplings in it too!:)

11:07 am

rbud

*shamefacedly thinks fondly of my FryDaddy - loaned to dau and long gone...miss the homemade fries*

11:07 am

Nef

My "new" crockpot is quite a bit larger than my old one; so I hung on to the old one (because our family is smaller these days)

11:08 am

crosshair

if i had my own in house deep fryer,id be dangerous;))

11:08 am

rbud

We won our crockpot at the local chili benefit for the fire dept., that was neat.

11:09 am

Nef

rbud, those things scared the daylights out of me! I saw a couple of nasty burns from fryers in my day and we never bought one for that reason

11:09 am

rbud

I can surely see how a fryer could hurt you, crossy! ;)

11:09 am

rbud

other than the possibility of burns...

11:09 am

crosshair

uh huh...

11:10 am

Nef

(My co-workers once referred to them as "Baby Fryers" because of 2 patients we had)

11:10 am

crosshair

see if i share my bacon vodka with you again..sniff..

11:10 am

Nef

Sorry. TMI I'm sure

11:11 am

crosshair

if i cant pan fry it in a lil olive oil,i wont bother

11:11 am

crosshair

i have also seen nasty accidents

11:11 am

rbud

Oh, I've mastered the art of not getting hurt with them, used to do up whole bags of potatoes for my starving fellow students in college - also have the Veg-O-Matic to make fry cutting easy!

11:11 am

street spirit

My idea of cooking is peeling a carrot. No idea why anything else is necessary ;)

11:12 am

rbud

wait till you have dentures, ss, fresh carrots become difficult, lol! Not impossible, though...

11:12 am

rururocks

I always wondered who bought those vegomatics

11:13 am

redturtlehead

I hope I never have dentures....Makes not eto brush extra again...

11:13 am

crosshair

lol! i remember all thos ronco commercials!

11:13 am

Bugsaw

me too ruru

11:13 am

rbud

but I've always been a big fan of steaming our veggies, it's my favorite way to cook them, so I guess that's a good thing.

11:13 am

redturtlehead

Can I have a clue for th O in the left hand upper corner?

11:13 am

Bugsaw

even if they worked, we made such fun of those commercials I couldn't be seen with one

11:14 am

street spirit

Dentures...I'd have to broaden my skills.
Maybe I could stretch to peeling a banana.

11:14 am

redturtlehead

Nothing wrong with an occasional good french fry!!!

11:14 am

rururocks

11:14 am

11:15 am

redturtlehead

Ooh the thunder is rumbling, i hope we are in for an excellent storm. Weather has been beastly.

11:15 am

rbud

11:15 am

rururocks

1:47 pm

Lizsark

Been away for two weeks and now I am so out of practice!

1:48 pm

stefaneechi

thanks

1:48 pm

mymuseisme

Ooooh, good reason to be out of practice then! On vacation?

1:48 pm

Lizsark

No not really - a charity trek in Peru

1:49 pm

mymuseisme

Oh that's right .. you were parachute jumping, you fearless soul! How was it?

1:49 pm

Lizsark

LOL no I still have that to come. Thats in October. This was trekking for the same charity. We made 85k in pounds :)

1:50 pm

mymuseisme

A solid accomplishment I think.

1:51 pm

Lizsark

Worth every exhausting step :) I'm too scared about the jump to think about that just yet thoughÂ¬

1:52 pm

mymuseisme

I was under impression you've jumped before. You're still fearless to me. I'd rather just dream about it.

1:53 pm

Lizsark

Oh God no. I'm terrified of heights. This is most definitely a one off :) To be quite honest I regret agreeing to do it!!!

1:58 pm

mymuseisme

Oh (((((Liz))))). That's some commitment and a courageous and loving way of trying to confront your fear. Whatever you decide to do I'm sure all will understand. My encouragement is with you either way you choose :)

1:59 pm

FMitch

don't do it Liz stick to terra firma!! How was Peru?

1:59 pm

Lizsark

Aw thank you :) I will give it my best shot. Even if I am a gibbering wreck at the end of the day. The charity is worth it. But I think I may hang up my fundraising boots after this one!!!!

2:00 pm

Lizsark

FM!!!! Peru was fabulous :) Exhausting, but wonderful

2:00 pm

mymuseisme

2:48 pm

Shivs Fitz

2:48 pm

Pinikula

2:48 pm

Pinikula

happens occasionally, shivs, no need to worry about it ;)

2:49 pm

Shivs Fitz

I know I only typed it once. I should type with one hand, instead of two! LOL

2:49 pm

Pinikula

it's happened to me when I hit return and it doesn't send right away so I hit it again...bingo...dbl hit

2:50 pm

Pinikula

Oh, and wee one is 8 wks old today :)

2:50 pm

Shivs Fitz

That's what I did, because it seemed to be stuck!

2:50 pm

Shivs Fitz

Awww... still so tiny then!!

2:51 pm

Pinikula

yep...he's my first grandson; I have a 9yo gdau ;)

2:51 pm

Shivs Fitz

I see... I'm a long way off that yet, as my eldest is 12.

2:52 pm

Pinikula

well, hopefully that doesn't change!!! LOL

2:52 pm

Shivs Fitz

Hopefully what doesn't change?

2:53 pm

Pinikula

the timing of your grandchildren!

2:53 pm

Shivs Fitz

I fear it will... they are going to grow up on me, much as I wish time coudl stand still some days!

2:53 pm

Pinikula

Sorry if I'm not saying right...

2:54 pm

Pinikula

...well you should have at least 8 good years left, right???

2:54 pm

Shivs Fitz

She's only 12. Better not happen for a long time yet!

2:54 pm

Pinikula

exactly!

2:55 pm

Shivs Fitz

Longer than that I hope, if she goes to university then starts her career, in whatever field she chooses.

2:55 pm

Pinikula

correct!

2:55 pm

Shivs Fitz

At least, yes, sorry!

2:58 pm

Shivs Fitz

I know a lot of odd words I don't know the meanings of, from playing online word games... coming in handy here!

2:59 pm

Pinikula

ain't that the truth!!!

2:59 pm

Shivs Fitz

Do you play any elsewhere?

3:00 pm

Pinikula

I play in Lexulous and Scramble in FB...

3:00 pm

Pinikula

I play TextTwist on my iTouch

3:00 pm

Shivs Fitz

Oh I play on Lexulous!

3:01 pm

Shivs Fitz

On Yahoo! as well.

3:01 pm

zoozzoom

Hello all, Pini your daughters baby is soo cute, you must be soo proud :-)

3:01 pm

Pinikula

I've gone there a time or two but don't check everyday...but I am on FB everyday; are you on FB?

3:01 pm

kje

pini - have you played Moxie on iPod Touch?

3:02 pm

Pinikula

hi zoomie!! yes he is and I am very proud of her!

3:02 pm

Shivs Fitz

They have Scrabble on Yahoo!, but it goes by another name, Literati. There's another good game there similar to this puzzle, but a series of grids that go for a couple of minutes each and you race, to beat your opponents.

3:02 pm

Pinikula

hi kje..no, don't know that one, "moxie"?

3:02 pm

kje

look in the app store - Ping! turned me onto it

3:02 pm

Pinikula

that's right, shivs...they can all be found on FB, too.. ;)

3:03 pm

Pinikula

nice...will do!

3:03 pm

Shivs Fitz

I do have a page on FaceBook, but it's in my maiden name and all I use it for is strictly to connect with my uni alumni, because they're all on there.

3:03 pm

Shivs Fitz

What can be found on FaceBook too?

3:04 pm

Pinikula

scrabble, boggle, etc....the word games we all like to play (and of various names)

3:05 pm

Pinikula

I mostly play games on my FB and keep in touch with family and friends that doesn't live closeby...

3:05 pm

Shivs Fitz

I play those on Yahoo! with friends, or sometimes with a couple of family members.

3:05 pm

Pinikula

sounds like we do the same thing everyday, shivs, just using different applications ;)

3:06 pm

Shivs Fitz

That's what I use Yahoo! for. FB I only use for my uni alumni and I rarely sign into it... it drive me nuts!! There's too much going on there all the time, people sending too many things!!

3:06 pm

Shivs Fitz

I wish I could do it every day... oh, to have such time!

3:06 pm

Pinikula

You do realize you can hide them so you don't see them?

3:06 pm

Shivs Fitz

I want a job I can play online games from, LOL.

3:07 pm

Shivs Fitz

Hide them all?

3:07 pm

Pinikula

Since my kids are on their own now, I use it as my "relaxer" in the evenings when I don't already have other plans...

3:07 pm

kje

FW!

3:08 pm

Pinikula

yes, shivs...you can hide people so their posts don't show on your "news"

3:08 pm

Pinikula

wtg kje!

3:08 pm

zoozzoom

WTG Kje :-)

3:08 pm

kje

thanks - it was a fun 'un

3:08 pm

Pinikula

* newsfeed

3:08 pm

Shivs Fitz

I wish I could do that more often... I don't even get on here to do anything fun every week!! It depends how work is, sometimes I have more time.

3:10 pm

Pinikula

when my kids were at home...it was non-stop-something-to-do-all-the-time.
..

3:10 pm

Shivs Fitz

Oh, not what I meant. All the applications and tickles and things people send all the time...I can't keep up with it!! I sign in there occasionally, to see what messages I have and there's too much to go through.

3:11 pm

Pinikula

I hide the "applications" that people do (like quizzes, etc.), I'd rather know about just what they're doing...that's enough to try and keep track of...then on to the games!!!!

3:12 pm

Pinikula

and unless something spectacular happens, I don't expand the "comments" sections

3:12 pm

Shivs Fitz

It's like that here, most of the time, unless they're amusing themselves. Bedtime for them... back to finish this shortly, if I can, LOL.

3:13 pm

Pinikula

ok...hb!!

3:14 pm

Pinikula

...going to go check out that Moxie game, kje...will keep you posted...

3:14 pm

Hey everyone. Would someone like to give me a small hint for os6? (or a larger hint if it's really weird?)

3:15 pm

3:15 pm

gwenski

That worked, thanks!

3:16 pm

redturtlehead

HI All, Pinik, I agree that any of the posts about Farmville or mafia wars aren't interesting...

3:17 pm

gwenski

Unless you play mafia wars! :)

3:17 pm

Pinikula

I got sucked into YoVille, but I block all the others...

3:17 pm

Pinikula

I don't play that one, gwenski...probably too technical for me! LOL

3:18 pm

fuquayvarina

hi red. I ignore all that too. I got sucked into yoville for awhile, but realized it was even more of a time vampire than the rest of fb

3:18 pm

gwenski

I got sucked into that one, but block farmville, farmtown, mobsters, restaurant wars, etc.

3:18 pm

redturtlehead

I only play Scramble!

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

I almost never read my wall because the posts are about games

3:18 pm

jmcnrick

I play very very slowly lexulous

3:18 pm

Pinikula

exactly, fuquay! I'm about done with it...

3:18 pm

redturtlehead

But I love to read peoples updates on little life things, its like touching base with everyone at least weekly!

3:18 pm

3:19 pm

My post yesterday involved my searchign through the walmart trash for my keys. Eeew.

3:19 pm

Pinikula

oh my, red...

3:19 pm

fuquayvarina

yeah, what was that about?

3:19 pm

jmcnrick

poor red

3:19 pm

redturtlehead

yes, well, I found the keys elsewhere in Walmart, so that makes it even more gross!!!

3:19 pm

fuquayvarina

you weren't really dumpster diving were you??

3:20 pm

Pinikula

ewwwwwwwwwwww

3:20 pm

redturtlehead

No, Just one trash can, but I did have to empty it, and people sure do throw away a lot of half finished drinks.

3:21 pm

gwenski

Were your keys actually in that trash can?

3:21 pm

jmcnrick

sad story red

3:21 pm

fuquayvarina

yuck

3:21 pm

redturtlehead

No, the wierdest thing, I had been looking at a top and I somehow dropped the keys in the tops pocket. I think I can safely say that God led me to think of the pockets...

3:22 pm

gwenski

Did you buy that top?

3:22 pm

Pinikula

yikes, not even on the floor...boy, you have a great recall mechanism for where you went in the store!!!

3:23 pm

redturtlehead

No, I couldnt decide if it was big enough and I didnt want to try it on...I was just running in for some milk.

3:23 pm

jmcnrick

w wipedout

3:23 pm

fuquayvarina

that's amazing, red

3:23 pm

gwenski

Good thing no one else bought it!

3:23 pm

redturtlehead

I know Pini, I had to walk through twice and the second time I sort of grabbed the pocket...

3:23 pm

gwenski

(refresh to see new profile picture)

3:23 pm

redturtlehead

I really do think it was God. I am not a bible thumping person but I was praying the whoel time...

3:24 pm

redturtlehead

Gwenski, so cute!

3:24 pm

redturtlehead

and I dont know why else I would have returned to the tops section.

3:25 pm

gwenski

For those of you that have been around this past year: My son is officially headed home from Iraq! Should arrive in Hawaii in a few days.

3:25 pm

redturtlehead

Oh JMC, congrats on wiping out the W! I have 2 left

3:26 pm

jmcnrick

3:27 pm

hshliz

And it doesn't seem to matter how many times your service person tells you that they're fine, you just don't believe it until you see them. My son did 2 trips through afghanistan.

3:27 pm

gwenski

Glad he's coming home, a bit sad I won't be there to greet him. (Note to self: Find a way to visit them in Hawaii soon!!!)

4:21 pm

redturtlehead

We should have a special icon tomrro instead of pet icon day.

4:21 pm

redturtlehead

it should be celebrate scrabbs last day icon...

4:21 pm

Scrabbler

New bosses = 3 partners, all nice people. No ego issues at new practice.

4:22 pm

Judi

Ah ha! She's back!

4:22 pm

redturtlehead

Oh Scrabbs, I just made an MD apologize to me yesterday...

4:22 pm

redturtlehead

She cried, and I felt slightly bad, but not really.

4:23 pm

mo

sounds a lovely place to be going to .... every success!

4:23 pm

Judi

I feel utterly stupid. I can't get the first al4.

4:23 pm

redturtlehead

going to change my icon now..

4:24 pm

Scrabbler

Why did you ask for an apology? And is she crying because she feels bad for you or for herself. Honestly, I don't like most docs--ego/power/control issues.

4:24 pm

mo

al4 ... a wing.

4:24 pm

Judi

Crying because you're going to sue her?

4:24 pm

Judi

Finally got it, mo. Ty.

4:25 pm

mo

yw Judi.

4:26 pm

redturtlehead

No because she was somewhat nasty while at work and I called her on it in front of a lot of people and asked her WHy she felt the need to curse and speak inappropriately while at work....you know I work at a Very Christian Hospital, so cursing is a big thing for us.

4:27 pm

Judi

Ooooh. Potty mouth in the work place. No no.

4:27 pm

redturtlehead

She is unfortunately not the best doc I have worked with. In fact, she may be one of the worser ones, in retrospect.

4:27 pm

mo

good for you red.

4:28 pm

redturtlehead

We all swear once in a while, but since my name andthe curse word were in the same sentance, I took offense!

4:28 pm

Judi

Worser?

4:28 pm

redturtlehead

Ok so My english could use a little work...

4:28 pm

redturtlehead

Dog is barking, I must go walk him....

4:28 pm

redturtlehead

thanks for listening....

4:29 pm
