VolleymomDee

nbt, too

12:48 am

joshuavorbis

my browser continues to crash whenever i first decide to chat

12:48 am

joshuavorbis

not sure why

12:48 am

dcseain

which browser you using?

12:49 am

joshuavorbis

firefox - i only have this problem with babble, not with other sites

12:49 am

joshuavorbis

and it only happens when i tab over to chat and not when i click

12:50 am

dcseain

i've never tabbed, so i don't know what would happen. THough i'm using safari at the moment. did that happen prior to firefox 3.5?

12:50 am

VolleymomDee

mine does that sometimes if I have morewords open in another window...

12:51 am

joshuavorbis

it does it when babble is the only window/tab i have open, the other tabs i have open are irrelevant to whether it happens or not

12:52 am

dcseain

i'm halfway and crashing. so off to bed for me.

12:52 am

westford

I know jilli I'm such a dork

1:18 am

jillibus

one lives in hope at bridge, as in golf, that the next attempt will be better

1:19 am

rururocks

all depends on how you putter around jilli

1:19 am

mari

morning all

1:19 am

westford

it's the luck of the draw sometimes

1:19 am

VolleymomDee

just not seeing the di 6/30 or the di 7/44 hmmm

1:21 am

westford

dee use a high point letter

1:21 am

anike

di 6/30 di + 5 point tile + i s** down

1:21 am

jillibus

everyone gets the same hands in duplicate, so it's what you do with what you've got, never mind how much you've got

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

aww ty west and anike... never even thot to look at that one...

1:22 am

westford

1:24 am

westford

I am vague..

1:24 am

VolleymomDee

gotcha

1:25 am

westford

they taxed us on fruit trees and bathrooms

1:27 am

VolleymomDee

bathrooms?

1:27 am

westford

the more bathrooms you had in your house the higher the taxes

1:28 am

westford

same with fruit trees

1:28 am

VolleymomDee

yipes

1:28 am

westford

I know, nutty

1:28 am

dart001

think the bathroom thing is pretty common

1:29 am

westford

that's the only place we had 3

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

should be on square footage... we have several bathrooms, but none of them are large

1:30 am

westford

maybe it had to do with plumbing

1:30 am

VolleymomDee

or water conservation

1:30 am

westford

we had 3 teenage daughters at the time so it was worth it

1:31 am

VolleymomDee

fewer baths... less water usage

1:31 am

flosey

hi everyone!

1:32 am

westford

still can't figure out the fruit trees

1:32 am

dart001

fewer baths...usually smaller house too

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

hi flosey

1:32 am

VolleymomDee

true

1:32 am

westford

maybe it was a throwback to planting orchards

1:32 am

1:34 am

westford

oh no flosey has it been raining hard?

1:35 am

flosey

not sure what went wrong, plumber/filtration installation guy was in this morning and repaired!!

1:35 am

flosey

replaced a tank, and no idea where the leak came from but crossed the hall and into the family room

1:35 am

westford

he must have left a valve open or something

1:36 am

flosey

he's here now, trying to figure what went wrong

1:36 am

VolleymomDee

that would be frustrating grrrr on the repairman

1:36 am

jillibus

bummer of a plumber!

1:36 am

westford

I can lend you the hip waders I bought on ebay for our constantly flooding basement

1:36 am

flosey

he's a real nice guy, hate to see this happen to him, but hate what's happened here too

1:36 am

diem

90 bucks an hour with a free flood

1:37 am

flosey

yup

1:37 am

westford

haven't you always wanted an indoor swimming pool?

1:37 am

flosey

was down there mopping up now the matts and towels are spinning

1:37 am

jillibus

much stuff ruined, flosey?

1:37 am

flosey

lol west, would be lovely, but

1:38 am

diem

is it bad flosey?

1:38 am

flosey

we'll just have the carpet cleaner come in tomorrow and suck it up, they're pretty good in emergencies

1:38 am

flosey

well, if we'd been sleeping, hate to think of what it would have been like in the morning

1:39 am

westford

or away visiting...

1:39 am

flosey

right, wow, what a mess to come home to - think of the smell!

1:39 am

westford

I'm assuming his insurance will take care of everything

1:39 am

flosey

we'll see

1:40 am

flosey

ours would anyway I expect

1:40 am

westford

but it's so unnerving

1:41 am

flosey

didn't get into the bedrooms at the other end

1:41 am

jillibus

small mercies, flosey!

1:41 am

flosey

we must be on a very slight slope - hmmm if that was a builder's mistake, I'm glad he made it

1:42 am

jillibus

might be settling? Anyway, good thing!

1:43 am

flosey

I was still upstairs, George went down to catch scores on TV I guess, and I heard @#$%^$%&$@$#%^& at the top of his voice

1:43 am

jillibus

LOL!

1:44 am

flosey

glad I went down to see!

1:44 am

jillibus

He wasn't in the best of moods anyway, was he?

1:44 am

flosey

no, he hasn't been feeling well for a while and still keeps pushing himself on

1:45 am

flosey

He'll never slow down

1:45 am

jillibus

oh dear!

1:45 am

flosey

ah well, sorry folks for taking up the chatline! but I do thank you all for your concern

1:46 am

jillibus

has he seen a doc, flosey?

1:46 am

VolleymomDee

4:36 am

lynxxx

nothing about him being a wee bit attractive or anything

4:37 am

joshuavorbis

of course, that would be beneath the women of babble

4:53 am

Brookie

Hi everyone... sorry, I've been lurking while feeding baby

4:53 am

oodleberry

what is beneath women of babble to do

4:53 am

Brookie

we hold extremely high standards, oodle

4:53 am

Brookie

at least that's what i try to tell myself

4:54 am

joshuavorbis

i was being facetious - some of the babble women take quite a liking to the young spanish tennis player

4:56 am

oodleberry

but babble takes priority. It has to because it i written in the terms of agreement. gee

4:57 am

Brookie

yes, oodle, but who signed the agreement? :-)

4:57 am

oodleberry

well all did when we joined

4:58 am

Brookie

i opted out

4:58 am

oodleberry

can't

4:58 am

oodleberry

or you couldn't have joined

4:58 am

Brookie

i have my ways

4:58 am

Brookie

my lawyer helped me

4:59 am

oodleberry

if you didn't agree with the terms of service then you couldn't have joined don't care what lawyer you used. silly girl

5:02 am

Brookie

my lawyer found a loophole that said that residents of delaware can put spanish tennis players above babble

5:03 am

oodleberry

oh bolderdash

5:15 am

Uneaixoise

5:15 am

Haz1558

Murray has won?

5:15 am

Uneaixoise

Rafa's lost the first 2 sets to Andy . . . boooooo

5:16 am

lynxxx

morning Haz

5:16 am

Uneaixoise

I've never cared for Murray but I have to admit he's played unbelievably well

5:16 am

Haz1558

He can still win, if it's just the first 2 sets. That's what I love about tennis, it's never over until it's over.

5:16 am

Haz1558

Good morning/evening all.

5:16 am

Uneaixoise

i know, haz, but man, if you'd been watching this match . . .

5:17 am

Uneaixoise

ok, back to the match *poof*

5:17 am

Haz1558

My sister is in work, is taping the match and has made me pledge not to reveal anything about it to her until she sees it.

5:17 am

Haz1558

Andy could always run out of steam. But he is a good player, isn't he?

5:18 am

Uneaixoise

(running back to the TV) Haz, I've never seen him play this well

5:18 am

Haz1558

If he does win, don't expect a scintillating interview afterwards. He puts the mono into monoto4/4.

5:18 am

Anyway, hope it continues to be a good game, Une.

That was a Birthday card from a friend. DH threw a surprise party for me on Saturday!

11:29 am

FMitch

WTG HAz, me too. Was a bit of an effort tho.

11:29 am

sciencegeek

Oops I might be in the PB now

11:29 am

Haz1558

Hello TO! Did you get the shoes?

11:29 am

sciencegeek

whew I am NOT in the pB

Scrabbler

Hello everyone

11:30 am

louuol2004

you sure? lol

11:30 am

Haz1558

At a good price? Comfortable? Note I ask about comfort before style.

11:30 am

72 Temple Owl

lol hi scrabs!

11:30 am

Haz1558

Hello, Scrabbler.

11:30 am

FMitch

Scrabs, were your ears burning today?

11:30 am

sciencegeek

just makes me more aware of my FAT!

11:31 am

bojazz

hi Scrabbler

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

price = excellent. somfort = my feet are hopeless

11:31 am

Vicuna

Haz, as always, I like your priorities.

11:31 am

Scrabbler

Uh, oh, why, FM?

11:31 am

Vicuna

Hello, Scrabbler.

11:31 am

Haz1558

Have you got strange feet? My daughter can't get a comfortable pair of shoes because her feet are too wide in places they shouldn't be and too narrow in others. I blame her father.

11:31 am

oodleberry

hi scrab

11:31 am

72 Temple Owl

geek your card is hysterical. e card or paper?

11:32 am

FMitch

Was out with my Mum today at a garden center and they had a pets corner with the most georgeous bunnies and I was telling Mum about you and yr house bunnies _ she thought I was making it up!

11:32 am

Vicuna

(Actually, that's not true. Your priorities are strangely skewed toward housecleaning and cooking.)

11:32 am

Haz1558

But in matters of shoe-buying, I've got it right, Vi?

11:33 am

Scrabbler

I LOVE rabbits! And house rabbits are real! They are smart, use litter boxes, are social...

11:33 am

sciencegeek

Paper card! It needs a frame!

11:33 am

Vicuna

Absolutely. But maybe it isn't that your daughter's feet are too wide but that the shoes are too narrow in places they shouldn't be. I consider makers of shoes to be an evil, sadistic coven.

11:33 am

FMitch

I explained that it was possible to house train them and then she was really interested.

11:33 am

72 Temple Owl

every part of me is strange. and getting stranger by the day.

11:33 am

sciencegeek

LOL TO!

11:33 am

FMitch

It's babble that does that TO.

11:33 am

sciencegeek

Hi Scrabs!

11:33 am

Scrabbler

Ditto here, Owl

11:33 am

louuol2004

i agree Vicuna....i can never find a pair of shoes that are comfortable!

11:33 am

FMitch

I used to be normal till I joined here.

11:33 am

sciencegeek

No it's chocolate

11:34 am

Scrabbler

It's not only possible, FM, it is easy.

11:34 am

Haz1558

You're just individual, TO. But I'm glad you managed to get something at a reasonable price.

11:34 am

sciencegeek

I need some mu clues!

11:34 am

72 Temple Owl

i tried on a pai rof 2 1/2 in heels with ruffles made of zipper teeth. fab!

11:34 am

Vicuna

AH, yes, it's that "everyone is unique, just like no two snowflakes are alike" thing, isn't it. But you'll note that snowflakes don't have to find shoes that fit.

11:34 am

sciencegeek

So, Scrabs, did you or did you not watch 24 last night?

11:34 am

sciencegeek

TO PB!

11:34 am

Haz1558

You speak the truth, Vi.

11:34 am

oodleberry

sg you are right the overall cure for anything is chocolate :D

11:35 am

sciencegeek

and red wine

11:35 am

sciencegeek

liquid bliss

11:35 am

72 Temple Owl

i like the antimotivatonal snowflake by despair, inc: Just rememember you are unirque. Like everyone else.

11:35 am

Vicuna

mu5/16 - mu + discard

11:35 am

Scrabbler

I did watch 24 but I am finding this season highly implausible! The story line with CTU agent, Dana--BOGUS!!!

11:35 am

louuol2004

can someone help me with the ce6 please?

11:36 am

Haz1558

Edward Monckton is bound to have something to say about shoes.

11:36 am

ch1212

jumping in with a shoe note: Daughter visited this weekend and I took her to a posh upscale shopping complex, where she oohed and aahed at the Jimmy Choo store. I noted the salespeople were slim men with sadistic smiles.

11:36 am

Vicuna

ce6/21 - ce + do re mi or fa

11:36 am

Haz1558

ce6 - ce plus a word that occurs in music or in writing a short letter.

11:36 am

sciencegeek

Yes, well Chloe will have her figured out soon enough

11:36 am

louuol2004

ahh, thank yooooooooou

11:37 am

Scrabbler

Chloe is the best!

11:37 am

72 Temple Owl

haz is that word accepted on its own?

11:37 am

Haz1558

What sort of prices were the Jimmy Choos or is price too vulgar a thing to talk about?

11:37 am

sciencegeek

ch1212 - no joke....wonder what Jimmy looks like?

11:37 am

Vicuna

What I will never understand, though, is why women continue to buy the sadistic shoes.

11:37 am

FMitch

*gets smelling salts ready for HAz*

11:38 am

sciencegeek

i guess 400

11:38 am

Haz1558

We've always noted that the more sparse the window display, the less likely it is that you can afford ANYTHING.

11:38 am

oodleberry

vicuna... maybe because she is a fashion diva?

11:38 am

72 Temple Owl

i like the carlos sanrana line

11:38 am

Scrabbler

Why won't my iTunes come up when I click the icon?

11:38 am

ch1212

Exactly. Seriously, aside from the immoral prices for the instruments of torture, I did wonder why all the sales staff were male.

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

sanTANA line

11:39 am

sciencegeek

More dollars for Carlos.

11:39 am

72 Temple Owl

So glad the opportunity came up for you to move out of that toxic environ.

11:43 am

Okay, time for me to get back to work, too. Bye for now, all! Try not to cripple yourselves permanently with the "fashion diva" shoes!

I wonder if Scrabbler got her itunes sorted out? Not that I'd be of any help, I'm just curious.

11:48 am

72 Temple Owl

i don't know. my head was spinning from chat.

11:48 am

No, I cannot get it to appear when I click my icon, Haz. Why, oh, why?

truculent? Big word for me.

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

ty!

11:51 am

72 Temple Owl

11:52 am

Haz1558

There's an su4 that rhymes with one of the things that Miss Muffet ate (singular)

11:52 am

Haz1558

and plural, that should have been.

11:52 am

cybernan

good morning/afternoon :)

11:52 am

Haz1558

Hello, cybernan.

11:52 am

Scrabbler

Silly me, I spent this morning having a new su4 pump installed here!

11:52 am

72 Temple Owl

11:53 am

Haz1558

Probably expensive but not really thrilling, Scrabbler?

11:53 am

Scrabbler

Hi nan

11:53 am

72 Temple Owl

sounds like a good idea, scrabs!

11:53 am

Haz1558

You're welcome, TO.

11:53 am

72 Temple Owl

i am missing one recalcitrant q

11:54 am

72 Temple Owl

OMG time flies! must gather trash and walk back to the office.

11:54 am

Scrabbler

My sub-basement was flooded yesterday morning and Mr Handyman was here for a few hrs doing repairs. New pump. New piping. Water is gone. $250 is gone.

11:54 am

fuquayvarina

there's one that's a prefix, TO, not usually used alone

11:54 am

Scrabbler

There is a Q in the grid? Oh, my, I do see it now. Babble Blindness!

11:54 am

Haz1558

I know. Money can just disappear like that when you have a house.

11:55 am

Scrabbler

Hi FV

11:55 am

11:55 am

11:55 am

Haz1558

Bye, TO!

11:56 am

Scrabbler

It would have been far more expensive if I had called a plumber. This guy is a general handyman---can do all sorts of things.

11:56 am

Scrabbler

Bye Owl

11:56 am

Haz1558

I think handymen are wonderful - if you can find them!

11:57 am

fuquayvarina

yes! got the 9 all by myself!

11:57 am

Haz1558

Well done!

11:57 am

This guy is probably late 60's so someday I will need to find another handyman.

12:08 pm

Haz1558

You're welcome, Scrabbler.

12:08 pm

cybernan

probably not -- my memory is very short!

12:09 pm

Nancy Boy

Evening all. I spent the day confirming that, yep, Dark Side of the Moon really DOES sync up with The Wizard of Oz

5:16 pm

redturtlehead

and does it?

5:16 pm

Nancy Boy

uncannily! it's sooo bizarre. some bits need a little imagination, but others are really clear

5:17 pm

redturtlehead

well, there you go!

5:17 pm

Nancy Boy

How very productive of me. I'm sure everyone else did more important things..

5:18 pm

redturtlehead

probably not!

5:19 pm

Nancy Boy

Actually, I was so impressed I came on babble just to announce that :D

5:19 pm

redturtlehead

well, then you were very productive!

5:20 pm

Nancy Boy

aren't you kind ;)

5:23 pm

redturtlehead

No NO, not kind at all, I am working on it though. How is everyone, which I think may be just you and me anyway. Heeellllooooo Babbbland!

5:24 pm

Brookie

No, I'm here too, just lurking. Congrats, nancyboy, on finding the correlation between the music and the movie!

5:24 pm

littlebit

also lurking...hello all1

5:25 pm

Brookie

hi littlebit

5:25 pm

JBV

5:25 pm

littlebit

hi brookie!

5:25 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Little bit and brookie and HI JBV

5:25 pm

Brookie

hi jbv and red

5:25 pm

littlebit

hi red!

5:25 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL! Thanks Brookie. Not much of a skill. It IS pretty cool though, especially when the actors' dialogues sync up with the lyrics!

5:25 pm

littlebit

hi jbv!

5:26 pm

JBV

i thought I got a good head start this morning, but I still need 102 words!

5:26 pm

littlebit

hi nancynoy!

5:26 pm

hydra

well nancy, as you're talking bout my fave music and fave movie, I've just got to try it out. On a borrowed computer, so typing a bit funny

5:26 pm

littlebit

oops...hi nancyboy!

5:26 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Hydra.

5:26 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL! Hi Littlebit :)

5:27 pm

Brookie

hi hydra!

5:27 pm

hydra

Didn't mean to ignore everyone else! Hi red, little, JBV, Brookie

5:27 pm

littlebit

hi hydra!

5:27 pm

redturtlehead

Hello again hydra, I try to not take anything personally on CHOG.

5:28 pm

JBV

hello, everybody, and that means you!!! :)

5:28 pm

Nancy Boy

I love love LOVE that album Hydra, and you really must try it...my favourite bit was when the good witch leaned over and seemed to whisper in Dorothy's ear, "haven't you heard, it's a battle of words" from Us & Them...goes PERFECTLY!

5:28 pm

hydra

Can't cope with this computer. Typeface small and faint and I've had too much wine to see straight anyway!

5:29 pm

hydra

Nancy, I MUST get hold of both. \it sounds mindblowing

5:30 pm

Nancy Boy

it's just really pretty trippy. Dark Side of the Moon is full of weird sound effects anyway, bells explosions, guitar slides...they all go. So cool :D

5:33 pm

hydra

Nancy, as we're both in London, we should meet up sometime. I could bring my netbook and we could have a Babble championship!Â¬

5:33 pm

Nancy Boy

That'd be awesome, Hydra! Think you'd whip me though ;)

5:34 pm

Nancy Boy

at babble that is...not just generally

5:34 pm

Nancy Boy

I spend more time chattering than actually playing

5:34 pm

hydra

I was just going to comment on that! My email address is on my profile. Coffee? Music biz chat? Get in touch!

5:35 pm

Kaplan the Magne

What the hell can an ow4 possibly be?

5:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Are there any letters to the right of the W that I haven't seen?

5:36 pm

hydra

Hi Kaplan. Haven't a clue!

5:36 pm

Nancy Boy

Owls! Not in the grid, but in life. :)

5:36 pm

hydra

There's a river by that name

5:36 pm

Nancy Boy

I'm easy Hydra :) but would be nice to do a babble get together. Most of the babblers are my surrogate family now anyway.

5:36 pm

hydra

Or is that a different spelling?

5:36 pm

pythonx

ow + I **e with my eyes

5:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I have monkeyed it over and over, but since there are no letters to the right of the w I am flummoxed

5:37 pm

JBV

the ow 4 is the same as the D word meaning searching for water - delete the initial D

5:37 pm

pythonx

then add a consonant for the ow5

5:38 pm

hydra

Oh! Thought you were asking what the word meant! It's an anagram of what happens when someone has borrowed money of you. He ow-- you. Then switch it around.

5:38 pm

hydra

Hi python

5:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh---to the LEFT.

5:38 pm

pythonx

hi hydra

5:39 pm

jillibus

the ow words are northern England and Scot dialect for an ox -- hello all!

5:40 pm

JBV

a babble get together in London? a fantasy dream date! I'd love to be there - not a chance - but I love to hear about babblers as real people, not just black and white lines on a screen (isn't that what someone's profile says - Trif?)

5:40 pm

Lady Biotch

NB I just googled Oz and Dark Side of the Moon to find out what the heck you were talking about it is real cool!!

5:40 pm

redturtlehead

that would be lovely.

5:40 pm

hydra

A babble convention - anywhere in the world. We could all wear badges with our babble names on, Brilliant!

5:40 pm

72 Temple Owl

I'd go.

5:41 pm

redturtlehead

Never would have money for that for certain.

5:41 pm

hydra

Hi temple and Biotch

5:41 pm

Nancy Boy

isn't it Lady Biotch! Although there's a ton of other weird stuff in that film, like the whole munchkin suicide thing. When you think about it, it's actually a pretty creepy movie.

5:42 pm

hydra

Then we'd all have to come to you, red!

5:42 pm

Lady Biotch

Hi Hydra I am new to the babble world, but let me know when and where the convention is!!!

5:42 pm

jillibus

I did get fireworks but since I'm invisible I guess I can't give clues

5:42 pm

redturtlehead

FLorida isn't so bad, but some people hate it!

5:42 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Jilli!

5:42 pm

72 Temple Owl

big flap over pro life superbowl ad

5:42 pm

hydra

jilli!!!! Congrats!

5:43 pm

72 Temple Owl

hello jili

5:43 pm

redturtlehead

tried to turn cartwheels for Jilli...

5:43 pm

mkg

hi all. would love clue for the 9. ty.

5:43 pm

jillibus

hi red, hydra, TO, and the others I said hi to but didn't notice ;)

5:44 pm

Nancy Boy

actually, I used to have nightmares about the wizard of oz as a kid.

5:44 pm

hydra

What letter does it begin with, mkg? I'm on a weird borrowed computer and can't get Lickety

5:44 pm

JBV

im 9 - add suffix to im 7

5:44 pm

hydra

Oh, sorry, jilli. I was getting carried away with idea for babble convention

5:44 pm

72 Temple Owl

ok...babbling while eating bnot working. i;ll go now and wait for the shift to change

5:45 pm

jillibus

im9 is the past tense of im7

5:45 pm

mkg

ty. dont have im 7. need that clue too.

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

Oh my, with the Im clue, I just monekeyed it, and I have never seen that before.

5:45 pm

redturtlehead

what does it mean>

5:45 pm

JBV

im 7 is an art term - style of painting i think

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

Oh, well, in that case, indeed I studied if in one class in college.

5:46 pm

redturtlehead

thanks JBV.

5:46 pm

72 Temple Owl

red you are in the grid!

5:46 pm

jillibus

may I suggest that long words are often grown from shorter ones, so asking just for long word clues isn't the best way to go?

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

am I?

5:47 pm

mkg

i dont see impressionist in grid.............havingtrouble.

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

the im word is the art of laying on paint to canvas very thickly.

5:47 pm

JBV

red is in the grid?

5:47 pm

Nancy Boy

ahhh, well I'm off to bed...will try not to have dreams of suicidal munchkins et cetera ;)

5:47 pm

redturtlehead

good night Nancy

5:47 pm

jillibus

hi and bye nancyboy

5:47 pm

72 Temple Owl

yes she is!

5:47 pm

JBV

wishing you pleasant dreams NB

5:47 pm

mkg

well got the word but never heard of it and i have a fine arts degree in sculpture with minor in painting. so i say it is made up.

5:48 pm

Lady Biotch

ciao NB talk to you tomorrow

5:48 pm

ch1212

im + male spaghetti :)

5:48 pm

redturtlehead

No mkg, it definitely is not made up.

5:48 pm

JBV

check your notebooks, mkg, it's a real word

5:48 pm

hydra

I'm off too. \nite nite!

5:48 pm

jillibus

im7 is definitely not a made up word

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

It did take me a minute, but as soon as I saw the definition, it came back to me.

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

nite Hydra.

5:49 pm

redturtlehead

Jilli, how have you been this winter?

5:49 pm

Lady Biotch

nite hydra

5:49 pm

jillibus

I got it with no help because I was quite familiar with it

5:50 pm

jillibus

red, I'm fine now but had a mild bout of flu Nov-Dec

5:51 pm

72 Temple Owl

by hydra

5:51 pm

redturtlehead

the flu this year seems to have been hideous. I got really sick in the beginning of January...

5:51 pm

jillibus

I had had a seasonal flu shot about 2 weeks beforehand

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

I admit, I never get the flu shots.

5:52 pm

jillibus

perhaps I hadn't developed full immunity

5:52 pm

jillibus

why not, red?

5:52 pm

redturtlehead

Or you got a different flu like virus.

5:53 pm

jillibus

yes, could easily be

5:53 pm

72 Temple Owl

has been forced here. health workers fired for refusing.

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

I always get terribly ill 24 hrs after. I dont know why, but after 3 attempts, I gave up...I also got the flu a month later too...

5:53 pm

redturtlehead

In NY, the health care workers fought back, and won. If I have the flu I wont come to work.

5:53 pm

jillibus

strange -- it's a killed virus

5:54 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I could never figure it out, you can not get the flu from the flu shot...but I always got sick.

5:54 pm

JBV

at least three people I know got sick after getting the H1N1 shot - i've never had a flu shot, not this year either

5:54 pm

jillibus

egg allergy?

5:54 pm

redturtlehead

Nope, I Loooove eggs.

5:55 pm

72 Temple Owl

this was children's hospital. would one be contagious before realizing one was sick?

5:55 pm

redturtlehead

On occasion people do get a mild fever etc for a few hours after a vaccination... After the yellow fever vax I had fever each night for several days...

5:55 pm

jillibus

well, I hear poeple can have a reaction to the H1N1 shot -- our babbler ruru did

5:56 pm

redturtlehead

yes and no, TO. If you follow the right hand hygiene practices you really shouldnt infect anyone as you should not EVER cough on a patient, or near a patient..

5:57 pm

jillibus

I hadn't had flu for decades -- lots of very bad colds, but this was entirely different

5:57 pm

redturtlehead

Each hospital makes it's own policies. I had to be vaccinated for Chicken Pox, even though I had it to continue to work at Fl Hospital. SO each place chooses what they want.

5:58 pm

Bugsaw

Hello everyone, especially jilli. I haven't been on when you have for a long time!

6:51 pm

redturtlehead

Frankly, after our little tiny cold spell in Florida, I have a lot of Admiration for anyone above the Mason Dixon line.

6:54 pm

inge

You might like to learn that no gypsies have settled in Finland, cause it is too cold. They roam all over Euroope begging for money

6:54 pm

redturtlehead

We do have a rather large homeless Pop. here in Orlando.

6:55 pm

No respect for Philly, for some reason. Even tho I went to school right outside of there, I never really warmed to the city.

6:58 pm

jmcnrick

6:59 pm

7:11 pm

jmcnrick

yeah but then you just get someone elses work not the kind of help you get here

7:12 pm

dcseain

true

i bought a small bottle of Coke at the store earlier, to use as a mixer. Both the cashier and the bagger were confused that i did not want it then, but rather wanted it in the bags with the rest of the stuff.

7:14 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

7:15 pm

dcseain

the bagger especially looked at me funny when i said no thank you to having it then. But, she didn't ask, so i offered no explanation.

7:16 pm

jmcnrick

was it cold?

7:16 pm

dcseain

yes, because i grabbed it impulsively from a case at the regsister

7:17 pm

redturtlehead

I can see that they get a lot of smiles for not throwing in a cold coke as many people would want to drink it immediately.

7:17 pm

dcseain

quite so, red. I was the odd one out. Happily and as usual :)

7:18 pm

torgone

Hey foodies .. Anyone have a good (easy) recipe for empanadas?

7:18 pm

redturtlehead

:)

7:18 pm

dcseain

filling and/or crust, tor?

7:19 pm

torgone

Filling

7:19 pm

jmcnrick

other than buying the frozen empanada crust?

7:19 pm

JBV

hi, tor, sorry, when we want empanadas we just go to the corner and buy them fresh!

7:19 pm

redturtlehead

oh man. I just sneezed so hard my nose burnt and I got tears in my eyes...

7:19 pm

Jacula

I make my own.

7:19 pm

torgone

Nice jbv ..

7:19 pm

torgone

Bless you red!

7:19 pm

Shirlockc

un7?

7:19 pm

Jacula

You knew I was gonna say that, if I appeared, did you not? LOL

7:19 pm

JBV

do you mean the crust or the filling?

7:19 pm

jmcnrick

saute spinach and onion -- add grated cheese -- seal teh dough and bake

7:20 pm

redturtlehead

TY torg.

7:20 pm

jmcnrick

saute ground meat and onions add grate cheese and seal and bake

7:20 pm

jmcnrick

saute mushrooms and garlic add grated cheese seal and bake

7:20 pm

Jacula

Shirlockc - if your yeast doesn't work your bread will be un7.

7:20 pm

Jacula

Otherwise known as unlevened.

7:20 pm

torgone

That sounds good jmc .. Will probably have to have some beef to interest my crew though ..

7:21 pm

redturtlehead

I imagine JBV, if she is here, has a great recipe for empanadas.

7:21 pm

jmcnrick

you want more does that give you the general iea?

7:21 pm

Shirlockc

ah! i tried the pt and forgot the other ending, thx jacula

7:21 pm

jmcnrick

you may want to add seasoning to the beef besides the onion and cheese but i don't generally

7:21 pm

Jacula

y/w Shirlockc.

7:21 pm

jmcnrick

you could add a little chili powder or garlic powder

7:22 pm

JBV

hi red - sorry to disappoint, but I don't make them, as they are not on my "program" and they require a lot more work than I'm used to :) - we have several restaurants near where I work where I can pick them up and b ring them home for hubby

7:22 pm

torgone

I think that gives me a starting point ..Thanks ..

7:22 pm

jmcnrick

i am too cheap to buy things from restaurants too often

7:22 pm

redturtlehead

ahhh, so your recipe is a phone number?

7:22 pm

JBV

I make something called picadillo which is kind of like the filling without the bread - ground beef, lots of spices, peppers, onions, etc, in a tomato sauce -

7:22 pm

JBV

we serve it over rice

7:23 pm

jmcnrick

have fun torg -- the main point is to cook teh filling except the cheese prior to sealing the empanada and baking

7:23 pm

redturtlehead

yuuuum. i have had that from la lechonera here.

7:23 pm

JBV

they sell GIANT empanadas for $1.00 each -

7:23 pm

jmcnrick

picadillo is good

7:23 pm

Jacula

Here's a recipe to try (not mine, btw, as it's not saved to my pc). ngredients

For the filling
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 garlic clove, crushed
1 carrot, finely chopped
225g/8oz extra lean beef mince
1 tbsp tomato purÃ©e
Â¾ tsp ground cumin
1 tsp chilli powder
1 medium potato, peeled, cut into cubes
100ml/3Â½fl oz dark Mexican beer, brown ale or stout
salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the pastry
225g/8oz plain flour, plus extra for dusting
Â½ tsp turmeric
Â½ tsp chilli flakes
75g/3oz chilled butter, cut into cubes
pinch salt
50ml/2fl oz milk
1 free-range egg yolk
1 free-range egg, beaten
To serve
sweet chilli dipping sauce
Method

1. Heat the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and carrot and fry until softened.
2. Add the mince and fry for 3-4 minutes, until golden-brown all over.
3. Add the tomato purÃ©e, cumin and chilli powder, stir well and cook for 3-4 minutes.
4. Add the potatoes and the beer and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 25 minutes, or until potatoes are cooked.
5. Remove from the heat and leave to cool.
6. For the pastry, place the flour, turmeric, chilli flakes, butter and salt into a food processor and pulse to a breadcrumb-like consistency.
7. Add the milk and egg yolk and pulse together until the mixture just comes together as a dough.
8. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for a few minutes, then wrap in cling film and transfer to the fridge to chill for an hour.
9. Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
10. Roll the pastry out onto a lightly floured work surface and cut out 12 circles of 10cm/4in diameter.
11. Place a spoonful of the filling into the centre of each pastry circle.
12. Brush the edge of one half of each of the circles with some of the beaten egg, then fold over the other side and seal - make sure you don't trap any air inside.
13. Mark around the edges of the sealed pastry with the tines of a fork.
14. Place the empanadas onto a baking tray and transfer to the oven to cook for 10 minutes, or until the pastry is cooked and the filling is hot.
15. To serve, place the empanadas onto a large serving plate with sweet chilli dipping sauce in a bowl in the centre.

7:23 pm

JBV

I throw chick peas in too, not sure if that is authentic, but we like it

7:24 pm

jmcnrick

yeah but i usually use left overs for the filing

7:24 pm

jmcnrick

garbanzo beans (chick pea by another name) are very popular in Latin America and Spain

7:25 pm

Jacula

JBV - I am continually honing recipes to our family's taste. Once we all agree, I write it down.

7:25 pm

jmcnrick

i confess i am too lazy to make the dough since i can buy 50 for a few dollars

7:26 pm

jmcnrick

what a good idea jac I never write them down -- i just assume i can remember! lol

7:26 pm

jmcnrick

and I almost never can

7:27 pm

JBV

do you bake your empanadas in the oven or fry them?

7:28 pm

Jacula

jmc - the 'modern way' is to save it to computer and put it on a disc for your kids. That's the new way of doing the formerly written Mama's Cookbook. (Though I still write that, too.)

7:28 pm

torgone

I have trouble pleasing everyone at the same time ..

7:28 pm

Jacula

JBV - mine are baked. I never fry if I can avoid it.

7:28 pm

jmcnrick

well then if you use left overs you can make lots of different empanadas

7:28 pm

JBV

me too, tor - we take turns having our favorite meal

7:28 pm

dcseain

I have a spreadsheet book of cake recipes, with fillable fields for scaling the recipe for different pans.

7:29 pm

jmcnrick

i was thinking about writing down all the old family recipes and making a book for my son

7:29 pm

Jacula

Torg - so do I! It's like a short-order restaurant here at times.

7:29 pm

jmcnrick

how cool dc

7:29 pm

redturtlehead

I won a cookbook in orientation for work today...

7:29 pm

dcseain

nice, red. which one?

7:29 pm

JBV

oh! congratulations, red

7:29 pm

jmcnrick

cool red what kind?

7:30 pm

Jacula

Well done, red. Is the book a useful one?

7:30 pm

redturtlehead

one from the hospital. I am not really sure it will be useful, but I might use it as a gift.

7:30 pm

dcseain

i recommend also 101cookbooks.com heidi does a lovely job with the site. Most recipes are veggie or vegan, with suggestions for meat/fish in them.

7:31 pm

dcseain

i've 91 to go and am thinking on listing

7:31 pm

JBV

hmm, new genre of cookbooks? hospital food - not sure they will be bestsellers

7:31 pm

Jacula

Want to try asking for clues first, dcs?

7:32 pm

dcseain

cleveland clinic has lovely food. Tom was happy with all his meals in terms of quality, if not quantitiy.

7:32 pm

JBV

i'm lighting the fuse for fireworks here, one more to go

7:32 pm

jmcnrick

i am guessing it is like the PTA cookbook I contributed a recipe to

7:32 pm

jmcnrick

go jbv!

7:32 pm

JBV

good to hear, seain

7:32 pm

redturtlehead

I was surprised to see several tofu recipes, but it is an adventist facility.

7:32 pm

jmcnrick

Mass General has tapioca pudding that my husband always raved about

7:32 pm

JBV

i have several of those, jmc, ours are pretty interesting tho, very multicultural

7:32 pm

Jacula

JBV - LOL! So US hospital food is as cook/chill nice (not) as UK hospital food but just a notch above plane travel food?

7:32 pm

redturtlehead

Dr** roll for JBV!!!!!

7:33 pm

JBV

...... *********........ FIREWORKS!

7:33 pm

jmcnrick

most adventists are vegetarians I believe

7:33 pm

jmcnrick

whooo hooo jbv!

7:33 pm

plane food is better than most hospital food.

7:33 pm

lbdawger

whooooo hooooooo JBV!!!

7:33 pm

dcseain

congrats jbv

7:33 pm

Jacula

Well done, jbv.

7:34 pm

redturtlehead

Many are. The big thing is that none of them eat Pork or shellfish.

7:34 pm

lbdawger

hi everyone! our hospital here has really good food. the nutritionist and dieticians do a great job in working with the folks in the kitchen

7:34 pm

7:35 pm

dcs - you reckon? I couldn't recognise some of the stuff ofered on planes, even after tasting it. However, same could be sa4 of part of the meal we were given on our dinner cruise in Amsterdam. We are still wondering, about 3 years on, what some of the stuff was.

7:35 pm

redturtlehead

I am always actually very annoyed when we counsel people about diet and then the hospital serves up bacon and eggs etc for breakfast... or in the Adventist case we serve Soya Bacon.

Soya bacon? *shudders* just like when veggie daughter talks about other soya meats.

7:38 pm

Jac, the food on Delta and SW and United here is decent.

7:38 pm

but I still like it isn't easy being green and rubber duckie your the one

7:39 pm

dcseain

Mornigstar bacon, or some other, red?

7:39 pm

dcseain

i like the Morningstar soy bacon

7:39 pm

7:40 pm

Jacula

My daughter isn't a vegetarian because she thinks, 'I mustn't eat rhe cute little animals', she's never liked the taste or texture of meat, is now a recovered/ing anorectic who still craves some 'oomph' in her food. So she uses tofu (is allergic to soya) and lots of herbs, spices and sauces.

7:42 pm

lbdawger

tofu is soybean curd. so how is she not allergic to it?

7:42 pm

dcseain

tofu is soy

7:42 pm

Jacula

Vegetarians who don't want to eat the animals must realise, and I know this is a contentious statement, that the animals they see in the fields would NOT be there unless we ate them.

7:43 pm

redturtlehead

I agree Jacula.

7:43 pm

dcseain

quite so, jac

7:44 pm

redturtlehead

dont know the brand of soy bacon served in the cafeteria, but it is not good. I have to admit, I rather like bacon.

7:45 pm

Jacula

dcs - dunno! It's all still [art of her working out her food problems since she was 11. She's now 22, still alive after almost starving herself to the point of death, and is eating. That's all I care about! I listen to her, as she tries to find out why she has certain reactions to certain foods. I don't judge or comment.

7:45 pm

dcseain

good point, if she's eating healthily in reasonable amts, there is only to be supportive

7:46 pm

redturtlehead

oh watching NCIS at the moment, and I am finding myself thinking I have it figured out. I hope I am a little wrong.

7:46 pm

Jacula

That's iit, dcs.

7:46 pm

redturtlehead

food problems are quite difficult.

7:46 pm

wildcat17

Hi Wild.

7:47 pm

wildcat17

hi hi

7:47 pm

wildcat17

my brother and/or s-i-l

7:48 pm

Jacula

Yes, red, they are. The 'recovered/ing' person still tries to find reasons not to eat any food they perceive too many calories or too much fat in. There's no sane logic in their reasoning, and, when they can still rattle off the calorie content of any meal you care to mention, you know they are still 'not cured'.

7:48 pm

wildcat17

I kind of just "left" a board up after we finished when I was there at xmas and the next thing I know they've joined up

BR, when I try alt 14 i get a question mark ?

7:53 pm

aknitter

Did you see the choice of murder weapon? A knitting needle? come on that is no way to treat a valuable tool

7:54 pm

redturtlehead

I did aknitter.

7:54 pm

Jacula

Red - when you watch far too many crime/murder/mysteries - you can see it coming and you don't miss the clues the writer plants. If you write the stuff, you have to stuff a sock in your moth when viewing such programmes with the family.

7:54 pm

aknitter

i am horrified. i say boycott LOL

7:54 pm

LuwandaHL

That's okay! It wa a metal needle!

7:54 pm

Jacula

*mouth, not moth, I meant.

7:54 pm

aknitter

i have that exact one in my stash ....... hmmmmm

7:55 pm

joey

and I had the boyfriend behind it. sad to say

7:55 pm

o-o

I get all aflutter with a moth in my mouth

7:55 pm

Jacula

Hi aknitter. LOL. A bent kneedle is not a good tool for fine knitting.

7:55 pm

aknitter

ok i will put it back ....

7:55 pm

o-o

Hope you are doing well, joey

Erm, in these days of everything being watched, should I have posted that? I've no intention of doing it myself, but, should anyone else take up my suggestion, would I be charged as an accessory?

7:58 pm

red, it has been coming for a long time

AK....but it brought attention to knitting!

8:00 pm

i want to know how Ziva killed with the credit card? swipe across the throat?

8:01 pm

aknitter

yes red and the next time i pull out a project on a plane i will scare everyone there!!

8:01 pm

joey

are you allowed on with knitting needles now?

8:01 pm

aknitter

yup - makes the flight pass right by

8:01 pm

redturtlehead

knitter, I think they don't actually allow you to pull out any sort of knitting needle on a plane anymore anyway, which begs the question of why that gal had them...

8:02 pm

aknitter

nope knitting is not taboo

8:02 pm

Jacula

I've no idea what show or characters any of you are talking about. A kill with a credit card could be to cause a stroke or heart attack by all money being removed from 'the mark' or by sharpening the edge of the card to render it capable of slitting skin.

8:02 pm

redturtlehead

No, but long pointy objects are usually not allowed. I have lost many a long pointy object to the TSA, like clamps...

8:03 pm

Jacula

Knitting surely is not allowed on planes now?

8:03 pm

LuwandaHL

I knit on planes all the time

8:03 pm

aknitter

long pointy objects... ice dagger, madonna's bra among others

8:03 pm

LuwandaHL

at least I did in october

8:04 pm

LuwandaHL

Has it changed since then?

8:04 pm

o-o

jimmy durante's nose

8:04 pm

aknitter

no my friend just came back from st martin. knit the whole way there

8:04 pm

redturtlehead

Ok according to the TSA it is for some reason at the TSA screeners discretion.

8:04 pm

aknitter

good one BR

8:05 pm

redturtlehead

I am not sure they should leave anything up to their discretion.

8:05 pm

aknitter

i agree red

8:05 pm

Jacula

If it wasn't two long pointy objects you were not allowed to board the plane with, surely the clicketty click of the needles would not be allowed. (My Mum, back in the 30s, had a teacher who couldn't stand that sound, then a Boss in the 40s. I guess both had womenfolk who gave them problems at home.)

8:05 pm

LuwandaHL

I went online and printed out the rules the last time I flew

8:06 pm

aknitter

ooo a stiletto - imagine the damage that could cause

8:06 pm

redturtlehead

Oh gosh, I hate this going to work each day of the week. How do you all do it?

8:07 pm

aknitter

personally i am not a morning girl. so i find myself at work before i am 100% awake. by the time i realize where i am it is too late.

8:08 pm

wildcat17

you get out of bed, you get dressed, you get in the car ... and you go

8:08 pm

redturtlehead

It is totally insane. When do you get stuff done, like going to the bank or getting your hair done?

8:09 pm

wildcat17

after work. weekends. never

8:09 pm

Jacula

I do it by not often going to work via anyone's timetable but my own, these days. I work from home. When I did have to conform, I just consoled myself with the time off I was earning via the overtime I worked.

8:09 pm

o-o

do left-handed knitting needles help southpaws?

8:09 pm

aknitter

bank online, still working on the hair thing LOL

8:10 pm

redturtlehead

I will be glad to get back to my 3 12's next week. I really don't get how anyone gets anything done...

8:10 pm

aknitter

absolutely BR

8:10 pm

Jacula

And, before all this on-line stuff was available, I ate on the hoof, whilst walking to the bank and the shops.

8:11 pm

aknitter

ate on the hoof -- i like the sound of that

8:11 pm

Jacula

BR - I am a southpaw, and there is no such thing as a left-handed knitting needle.

8:12 pm

redturtlehead

I was completely entertained also by the idea that one office eats all together each day...they dont allow that for nurses.

8:12 pm

o-o

must have been mis-labeled

8:12 pm

aknitter

nurses barely get bathroom time let alone eating time

8:13 pm

Jacula

Well, red - all of the nurses can't all be out to lunch at the same time, or people will DIE.

8:13 pm

Jacula

Anyone here watched the Nurse Jackie series yet? I love it!

8:13 pm

redturtlehead

I usually manage to get lunch by eating verrrrry early in the day when things are less chaotic.

8:14 pm

redturtlehead

I have heard of it Jacs, I only dislike htat she is actually a drug addict, makes us all look a little suspicious.

8:15 pm

8:16 pm

Tom's a fan of Nurse Jackie. He wishes he could get away with saying half what she does.

8:16 pm

lbdawger

$100.00 aka ce****

8:16 pm

Jacula

Red - I can understand that, but I bet she's not untypical. If you want to be alert to do your best for your patients, but your hours are long and you can hardly stay awake, and don't want to make mistakes, apart from protesting about your hours, what else could you do?

8:16 pm

redturtlehead

I think at times I am overly sensitive.

8:17 pm

redturtlehead

I do coffee... not drugs that could potentially cause me to make mistakes.

8:17 pm

Jacula

Maybe if you made a mistake or lost a patieny because you were so tired, you might go there? Not you, red, I'm just talking generally.

8:17 pm

redturtlehead

I've worked over the year with at least 4 impaired nurses, they always made errors, and were very difficult to work with.

8:18 pm

redturtlehead

well Jac, I suppose so, but nurses generally work only 36 hours a week these days. Mandatory overtime is not really the case anymore.

8:18 pm

redturtlehead

BUt from what I have heard the things she says are things I would love to say.

8:19 pm

o-o

H, I admire your high standards

8:19 pm

I'm not up on the latest legal stuff for nurses in recent times, red.

8:19 pm

redturtlehead

Jacula, I think one of the problems in Nursing is that she may be more typical than we think, and it bothers me a lot.

8:20 pm

Jacula

Red - but the things she says ARE what all of us want to say at one time or another. I'll reiterate an example I gave a while ago.

8:20 pm

redturtlehead

But it's usually not drugs to keep awake, it's painkillers, and is just so wrong.

8:21 pm

redturtlehead

TY BR, I am a complete priss.

8:22 pm

redturtlehead

And with that, It's past my bedtime, as I am working all week on a regular person schedule.

8:22 pm

So, not too long from now, Stepdaughter has her first appointment to see if she is eligible for counselling after her ordeal with the paedophile her mother has chosen to stay with before her. Dumped her daughter in in either her own mother's care, her ex-hub's or my care. I don't think she was bothered which, or even if her daughter ended up in foster care. I was intending to stay out of the counselling stuff unless a session arose when I was needed. Going back to that place, where both my daughter and my dad were, for different reasons, is a double-edged sword for me and I'm not sure I'm ready to go back there. However, Other Half has requested my presence at the initiall interview.

8:38 pm

Jacula

I need to breathe deeply, not panic, forget the past and try to concentrate on the future.
