12:02 am

stidmama

now, I am not saying, Jill, that you are even OLD enough to have been there (you weren't even a glimmer in your mother's eye)... but your parents were the right age. Do you remember any tales they might have told?

12:03 am

stidmama

It was a good book, Dee -- based on interviews and first-hand accounts.

12:03 am

tfgrrl

1955 yeah that's what I was going to ask if it was eye-witnesses and surviviors

12:03 am

stidmama

Of course, we now have even more information, but what I noticed (after all the language changes) was that first-hand accounts were not consistent with the evidence found a few years ago.

12:03 am

VolleymomDee

12:12 am

westford

12:12 am

12:13 am

dcseain

i like CCR's too

12:13 am

dcseain

12:14 am

westford

I'm not doubting you just that I thought ike and tina did it first

12:14 am

12:18 am

dcseain

ty, lickety

12:18 am

westford

thank you monkeys

12:18 am

jillibus

just hearing about the guy in the Prius with a jammed accelerator phoning 911. He must have had a cell phone handy. Here using a cell phone while driving is illegal now.

12:18 am

tfgrrl

Peak time apparently. Lickety is the luvliest. I could never do this without.

12:18 am

jillibus

YAY Lickety!!!

12:18 am

stidmama

here as well Jill -- but not in emergencies.

12:18 am

cybernan

ty josh

12:18 am

cybernan

nbt

12:18 am

westford

wtg nan strange j word that

12:19 am

tfgrrl

He he, yeah even if it wasn't I'm not sure dialing 911 while my car was out of control would be my first choice of action JIlli

12:19 am

jillibus

but if I were in that pickle I'd have a hard time -- my cell is in my purse, turned off

12:19 am

westford

I hope they made an exception jilli

12:19 am

stidmama

go nan go!

12:19 am

jillibus

WTG nan

12:19 am

tfgrrl

I'm thinking oh, take the keys out, shift into neutral?

12:20 am

jillibus

I'm sure they would, west -- it was in California, I think

12:20 am

tfgrrl

Jeesh, people and their phones *picking up cell to check email*

12:20 am

joshuavorbis

some cars won't let you do that, tfgrrl

12:20 am

dcseain

then one loses power steering, which is hard, as it resists when present. and prius is keyless

12:20 am

jillibus

yes, that's the thing to do, tfg

12:20 am

stidmama

shift to neutral didn't work, tf... hitting the break didn't work either.

12:21 am

jillibus

oh

12:21 am

tfgrrl

mmmm, emergency brake? - Gosh seain no key????? I guess there was a good reason I bought a Hybrid, a Civic hybrid.

12:21 am

cybernan

not a bad first half, but don't like the looks of the rest of it!

12:21 am

jillibus

who was it whose dream car was a Ghia? There's one in the grid

12:22 am

tfgrrl

I always thought there was something a bit off about the Prius.

12:22 am

dcseain

it starts/stops with a push button, and the key is a proximity transponder

12:22 am

dcseain

it starts/stops with a push button, and the key is a proximity transponer

12:22 am

jillibus

I believe that Prius driver was told to use the emergency brake

12:22 am

westford

I know I'm dense but was the Prius one that had been fixed?

12:22 am

tfgrrl

That would totally suck to be in a car with accel stuck or no brakes, either way.

12:23 am

robbie09

hi babblers! thought I would take a peek at the grid

12:23 am

joshuavorbis

i think i'm stuck

12:23 am

westford

I'm sad for Toyota

12:23 am

stidmama

12:29 am

joshuavorbis

anike

The trip was looong!! The nullabor just doesn't change and I'm over it. But the "good" news is that the next drive is to Darwin so a change of scenery.

12:33 am

dcseain

12:37 am

westford

12:37 am

anike

12:37 am

lizmac

TY Josh, don't bother tfgrrl. Today will be your 8s & 9 day. Gotta go.

12:37 am

westford

cybernan

12:39 am

tfgrrl

12:40 am

westford

It's called the Tin Horse Highway in Kulin

12:40 am

westford

here's the link

12:40 am

tfgrrl

I though Oreo had choc-covered Oreos. The Godiva ones must be fantasmigorical though, and really really expensive.

12:40 am

robbie09

jilli, i need a diet..lol

12:41 am

dcseain

i don't care for oreos.

12:41 am

westford

it won't come through

12:42 am

robbie09

chocolate chip cookies are my favorite

12:42 am

westford

I like oreos once in awhile and I want some now

12:42 am

tfgrrl

I don't generally either, but choc-covered???

12:42 am

dcseain

I prefer Hydrox. sadly, they only sell them sometimes now.

12:42 am

jillibus

mine is simple -- no added sugar, half portions of meals, no booze, just clear soda water at happy hour and with meals.

12:42 am

westford

I would eat doorknobs if they were chocolate covered

12:43 am

dcseain

that's sensible, jilli

12:43 am

robbie09

lol west

12:43 am

anike

Kulin is in WA

12:43 am

jillibus

20 lbs gone since late November (I was sick for about 10 days then)

12:43 am

tfgrrl

I looked at it. Sometimes I think I live in the wrong country. Bush races, gymkhanas? cool

12:44 am

westford

anike it looked fairly close to Darwin on the map the person who sent it is in Perth

12:44 am

tfgrrl

I bet u could probably find a place that makes those, but they might melt in ur hands and not ur mouth

12:44 am

VolleymomDee

back... do the cr 8 & 9 come from 2nd col c or last col c... blind to it

12:44 am

robbie09

20 lbs gone is great! but..not the being sick part jilli

12:44 am

joshuavorbis

12:44 am

tfgrrl

Anike is that ur son in your icon pic?

VolleymomDee

12:46 am

westford

12:46 am

joshuavorbis

that's affirmative, tfgrrl - no idea the context or the photog

12:46 am

jillibus

robbie, being sick is what got me started -- had no appetite and 10 lbs disappeared so I thought I might as well continue

12:46 am

westford

I just noticed you're in Perth too

12:47 am

westford

jilli sounds like you're being sensible about it

12:47 am

robbie09

getting started is the hardest part of going on a diet

12:47 am

tfgrrl

Bike looks wicked sharp Anike.

12:48 am

tfgrrl

Dude flying out of a car, eek!

12:49 am

jillibus

west, it's really not too hard this way

12:49 am

jillibus

I cheat a little every once in a while with a half glass of wine or something

12:49 am

westford

when you say no added sugar do you mean you cut out all sweets or you just don't put any in your coffee or tea?

12:49 am

anike

TY tfg - he has a new superbike now - same colors but different paint job

12:49 am

joshuavorbis

12:50 am

anike

Kulin is in south west of WA - the tin horse are for the local annual bush races

12:51 am

westford

I wish I could have posted the link there were some very clever ones

12:51 am

jillibus

no sugar in coffee or tea, no candies (not that I care that much about them anyway), but I allow myself 2 mini gingersnaps with tea at lunchtime.

12:51 am

westford

A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning. The words may be spelled the same, such as rose (flower) and rose (past tense of "rise"), or differently, such as carat, caret, and carrot, or to, two and too. Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms. Homophones that are spelled differently are also called heterographs. The term "homophone" may also apply to units longer or shorter than words, such as phrases, letters or groups of letters that are pronounced the same as another phrase, letter or group of letters.

1:09 am

dcseain

i got a b+ in my arabic class in part for correctly conjugating a verb in the past tense.

1:10 am

jillibus

Got all that from wikipedia

1:10 am

dcseain

dead

1:11 am

robbie09

1:12 am

jillibus

There's lots more on the subject in wiki -- some fun stuff

1:12 am

rururocks

1:12 am

Erda

I once said something peaked my curiosity when I should have said it was piqued. Never forgot it.

1:12 am

herinfernallady

Yes I do. Just spent the first 30min (I had 1.5 hours) crying for my friends friends family that lost their son on Friday

1:12 am

tfgrrl

gayphone *eye roll* I can just see running that past 6th graders. Homophone is bad enough. If you say it fast they don't notice.

1:13 am

robbie09

how sad herin

1:13 am

westford

oh herin so very sorry

1:13 am

dcseain

huh. Lala recommends Sigur RÃ³s because i'm listening to Fleet Foxes. I wonder how they make that link - i do like both.

1:13 am

herinfernallady

Ru when you say gayphone I have this image of this very fashionable and fab-u-lous phone

1:13 am

rururocks

I said to a french friend of mine.. take a toke of this joint.. he said you mean "Toque?"

1:13 am

rururocks

me too herin..

1:14 am

westford

he smoked woolen hats?

1:14 am

jillibus

tfg, would it help to say "homo" means "the same as"

1:14 am

herinfernallady

It is very sad. Didn't know the kid but can imagine what the family is going through. They need to do more education on suicide in young people at schools

1:14 am

tfgrrl

Before or after all the riotous laughter?

1:14 am

dcseain

oooh, Bloom has 5lb potatoes for 1.50 this week.

1:14 am

rururocks

(amen to that)

1:14 am

westford

the whole world needs to herin

1:14 am

herinfernallady

That is a lot of tatas DC

1:15 am

westford

they've gone up so much here

1:15 am

jillibus

yeah, I know, tfg

1:15 am

tfgrrl

gosh herin, sorry to hear it.

1:15 am

dcseain

eh, 5lbs is gone very quickly, as i use them in precious few ways, each of which uses lbs of them

1:15 am

dcseain

one dish takes a kilo or so

1:16 am

westford

just paid 4.95 for 5 lbs of normal every day potatoes

1:16 am

tfgrrl

tatas? That doesn't mean taters where I grew up.

1:16 am

dcseain

tatas has a notedly different meaning here.

1:16 am

herinfernallady

The ALSO foundation (GLBT) organisation was trying to get a campaign in schools about young people, suicide and sexuality but the nutjob religious and ''family'' organisations said it was a program to ''recruit''

1:16 am

tfgrrl

How big is ur family seain? That you cook by the lb?

1:16 am

rururocks

those are only bodacious ones tfgrrl

1:16 am

westford

some look like them tf

1:17 am

dcseain

there are two of us. that dish is a comfort dish that gets eaten in quantity, and the ingredients are breakfast links, water, potato, onion, and parsley.

1:17 am

westford

when kids get depressed too many people tell them to 'just get over it' and they can't

1:17 am

tfgrrl

*looking down* um, look "like" them? Do you live near a nuclear power plant west?

1:18 am

herinfernallady

West I know.

1:18 am

westford

no, why?

1:18 am

robbie09

that goes for all ages west

1:18 am

westford

you mean because our potatoes are so expensive?

1:18 am

westford

yes robbie it does

1:18 am

tfgrrl

We have the same problems trying to start LGBT programs at schools here.

1:19 am

dcseain

My HS founded a LGBT group the year after i graduated

1:19 am

robbie09

my cousin shot himself a few months ago..it was very sad

1:19 am

herinfernallady

DC you need to post the potato recipe

1:19 am

westford

I'm so disgusted with Face Book and other venues that bully kids into committing suicide

1:19 am

robbie09

yes I agree west

1:20 am

tfgrrl

No, because if your tatas look like taters, I mean I'm no authority, but I'm not sure that's normal. What with eyes and all.

1:20 am

herinfernallady

My best friend in high school broke peoples faces for being bullied. I did a round of YAH

1:20 am

westford

that is sad robbie he must have been in a lot of pain

1:20 am

westford

not mine !!! lol

1:20 am

herinfernallady

FB needs a boot in the arse with the stuff they get away with.

1:21 am

tfgrrl

I'm sure a site can bully someone into something unless there was a serious problem before that. What is really frustrating is the lack of services available for kids who need them.

1:21 am

rururocks

(glad I don't do facebook)

1:21 am

tfgrrl

Esp. in the area of mental health, and it's the first to be cut in the budget

1:22 am

westford

I tried it a couple of times ruru so I could keep up with the kids and grandkids..found out things I didn't want to know

1:22 am

herinfernallady

FB and social networking sites allow the extension of bullying outside school hours. When I was at school you were bullied. You went home that was it

1:22 am

robbie09

I like FB..it is bullying that is bad

1:22 am

herinfernallady

I want to and work in the Mental health area in law

1:22 am

westford

rururocks

1:23 am

herinfernallady

1:23 am

tfgrrl

I had a student a 3-4 years ago we knew was disturbed and were trying to get her mom to get her help. Day after, she tried to kill herself, ended up in state hospital for a month and a half

1:23 am

robbie09

hi old fashioned..lol

1:23 am

westford

that is doubly sad

1:24 am

westford

I remember writing letters

1:24 am

tfgrrl

nothing wrong with old-fashioned but FB is good to catch up with old friends

1:24 am

westford

if only I could find my stamps

1:24 am

robbie09

so young herin

1:24 am

tfgrrl

Post office feels the same way West.

herinfernallady

I still have letters from a friend of mine in high school.

herinfernallady

2:05 am

rubyfoo

jilli, shouldn't it be spring there, too?\

2:05 am

sprite

tulips are hardy creatures

2:05 am

Spring is my favorite time here, but it has usually strated by now...

sprite

lovely, it must be so beautiful where you live

2:09 am

rubyfoo

we only have wild primroses, pale yellow, and they grow next to the daffs. They're the only yellow in the garden

2:10 am

rubyfoo

what are pieris?

2:13 am

rubyfoo

I think our primroses were planted by God (not Dr. God) to make sense of our previously-planted daffs

2:14 am

sprite

good man, God

2:14 am

rubyfoo

helps a lot with the garden

2:15 am

sprite

ruby if you google pieris japonica, you will see examples of them.

rubyfoo

thank you, I will look it up

2:16 am

sprite

also pieris floribunda, and others

2:16 am

sprite

must get dressed, will be afk on and off

2:17 am

jillibus

Pieris -- a genus of seven species of shrubs in the family Ericaceae, native to mountain regions of eastern and southern Asia, eastern North America and Cuba. Known commonly as andromedas or fetterbushes, they are broad-leaved evergreen shrubs growing to 1-6 m tall. The leaves are spirally arranged, often appearing to be in whorls at the end of each shoot with bare stretches of shoot below; they are lanceolate-ovate, 2-10 cm long and 1-3.5 cm broad, leathery textured, and with an entire or serrated margin. The young leaves in spring are typically brightly coloured. The flowers are bell-shaped, 5-15 mm long, white or pink, and arranged in racemes 5-12 cm long. (from wikipedia) The new growth on some varieties is a brilliant red which gradually goes green as the season progresses. I love them!

2:17 am

rubyfoo

see you later, sprite

2:17 am

2:42 am

rubyfoo

in NY state, where I used to live, we had black ice until April and virtually no spring

2:43 am

westford

were you in upstate NY?

2:43 am

rubyfoo

Binghamton, for many years

2:43 am

rubyfoo

it's a lovely town but v bad weather

2:44 am

rubyfoo

where are you?

2:44 am

westford

what's that near? Syracuse? Rochester?

2:44 am

westford

I'm in RI

2:44 am

rubyfoo

between Syracuse and Scranton PA

2:45 am

rubyfoo

I think your weather might be better because you're closer to the sea.....

2:45 am

westford

I read once that Syracuse has more snow than any other place in the US

2:45 am

rubyfoo

Rochester has more snow (farther west, "lake effect", but also more sunshine

2:45 am

westford

yes it was Rochester

2:46 am

rubyfoo

I don't like Syracuse much, except for the exteriour of its art museum

2:46 am

westford

our daughter who hates the cold almost went to school in Rochester

2:46 am

rubyfoo

the worst is evidently a small town, Oswego or Otsego, north of Syracuse which typically gets 10 feet!

2:46 am

westford

she's basking in the CA sunshine now

2:46 am

rubyfoo

my ex-husband taught there

2:47 am

westford

there's a town up there somewhere called Mexico and they had so much snow

2:47 am

rubyfoo

yes, funny idea for a town name (like Paris TX)

2:48 am

westford

she graduated in 1989 would he have been there then?

2:48 am

rubyfoo

no, he was already teaching at Rutgers by then with his second wife! lol

2:48 am

westford

my friend's neighbor goes there every year to ice fish

2:49 am

rubyfoo

I can't think of anything worse even though I love fishing!

2:49 am

westford

you have to be a special kind of nut to ice fish I think

2:49 am

westford

but they just love it

2:50 am

rubyfoo

that was a fun 50+ words, mixed in with the chat, it felt easy

2:50 am

rubyfoo

like welki from Canada! She loves it

2:50 am

crosshair

bout this time of year im always tempted to hop in the car and just start driving south untill i can get rid of all the road salt,or the car falls apart,which ever occurs first

2:50 am

crosshair

err..i ice fish westford....

2:51 am

westford

you are a special kind of nut then lol

2:51 am

rubyfoo

hahahah

2:51 am

westford

do you have an ice shack?

2:51 am

crosshair

well with the water frozen 8 or 9 months of the year,we have no choice lol

2:51 am

westford

it must get so cold

2:51 am

crosshair

we do westford,but sometimes we just fish off the back of the snowmobile

2:52 am

westford

at least most winter sports keep you moving

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I think welki has an rv out on the ice for occasional warmth

2:52 am

crosshair

hehe,you do not stand still at -30 c

2:53 am

westford

here's a question: do the fish bite?

2:53 am

crosshair

but the ice huts are nice and comfy

2:53 am

rubyfoo

I've never understood how the could build little fires on the ice without falling through

2:53 am

rubyfoo

evidently!

2:53 am

crosshair

they do..lol how else do we get the hook in thier mouth??

2:53 am

Sally-catlover

Brrr. All this talk of ice. Hi everyone.

2:53 am

crosshair

we use camping stoves now ruby

2:53 am

rubyfoo

hi sally

2:53 am

westford

hi sally

2:54 am

rubyfoo

we have ice on the fish pond/fountain again and it had all melted last week.....

2:54 am

westford

don't they just go down deep where it's warm and stay there?

2:54 am

crosshair

when i ice fish,it is in 80-110 feet of water westford

2:55 am

westford

or do they come up to see all the silly people? lol

2:55 am

crosshair

lol

2:55 am

westford

oh you don't want to fall in then

2:55 am

crosshair

definatly not!

2:55 am

westford

before long we'll all be complaining about the heat

2:56 am

rubyfoo

maybe they get hungry down there. Our goldfish don't eat all winter, just breed (!!!) and grow like crazy. Some sort of torporous state, I guess

2:56 am

crosshair

the holes we drill are 2 feet around,id plug it like a cork;0

2:56 am

rubyfoo

not me!

2:56 am

rubyfoo

have to go now, it's been lovely chatting with you!!

2:57 am

crosshair

tc ruby

2:57 am

Sally-catlover

Bye ruby, have a lovely day.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

you, too, crossy

2:57 am

westford

you too ruby as soon as you get Spring send some over here

2:57 am

rubyfoo

if I can ever change my icon, I'll put flower photos in it

2:57 am

rubyfoo

bye sally

2:57 am

rubyfoo

bye westford!

2:58 am

westford

that will be nice

2:59 am

westford

crossy I copied your meatloaf recipe sounds really good

3:00 am

westford

did you make it up?

3:00 am

crosshair

it is westford,ive yet to have any leftover;0

3:00 am

crosshair

recipie comes from mother in law

3:00 am

westford

I like the idea of the stove top stuffing

3:01 am

crosshair

yup,you can use the sage or cornbread kind

3:02 am

Sally-catlover

Yet again two nations divided by a common language "-) Crossy, I don't know the term stovetop stuffing here. We have dried sage and onion stuffing, the sort you would use for a chicken or turkey. Would that be the same do you think?

3:03 am

Atalante

no no no sally, stovetop is much much nicer than our sage and onion paxo!!

3:03 am

crosshair

yes it is sally,you may also have the paxxo brand stuffing over there

3:03 am

crosshair

paxxo is stronger

3:03 am

Sally-catlover

We do have paxo, I don't buy it. OK, Ata, what would you use instead of stovetop then?

3:04 am

crosshair

we use the paxo when we do saussge meat stuffing as it has a bite to it

3:05 am

Sally-catlover

Just found it via Google, and available in UK apparently.

3:05 am

Atalante

I really don't know, stovetop is much lighter than our paxo, and it's more like bits of bread with seasoning than our texture

3:05 am

Sally-catlover

Crossy, I make my own sausagemeat stuffing, don't use a packet.

3:05 am

Atalante

yes, you can get it in some random places. Budgens often stock it

3:06 am

crosshair

mm sally,there is no true replacement for stovetop stuffing

3:06 am

Sally-catlover

It is called American Kraft turkey stove top stuffing: http://www.americansweets.co.uk/americ
an-kraft-turkey-stove-top-stuffing-mix
-304-p.asp

3:06 am

Sally-catlover

Your recipe sounds good, might try it.

3:07 am

westford

we use it as a side dish

3:07 am

crosshair

thats it sally!

3:07 am

crosshair

just branded a little different

3:07 am

Sally-catlover

Interesting shop.

3:08 am

crosshair

if you can get that one,yer good to go

3:10 am

Atalante

it's sooooooo yummy

3:10 am

crosshair

indeed

3:11 am

crosshair

we often use it alone as a side instead of potatos or rice

3:11 am

Atalante

ditto

3:12 am

westford

and all the little chopping drudge work is done for you

3:12 am

Sally-catlover

That sounds totally different from our stuffing mixes in the UK! Will try this, crossy, so thanks for the recipe.

3:12 am

crosshair

yup:)

3:13 am

crosshair

let me know how it turns out for you:)

3:13 am

Atalante

it's a completely differet thing sally

3:14 am

westford

I'm thinking of getting a snack

3:14 am

crosshair

im thinking of trying sleep again 4;14 now

3:14 am

Atalante

stovetop I think after this convo!

3:15 am

crosshair

lol ata

3:15 am

westford

just don't go out and fish crossy

3:15 am

crosshair

not at 4 am i wont lol

3:15 am

Atalante

I have one last packet of the stuff I'm saving for desperate cravings

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

lol Ata. Well at least now you know where to buy it in the UK.

3:16 am

westford

good to hear you don't sleep-fish

3:16 am

Atalante

3:16 am

Sally-catlover

No Budgens up here. Not sure where the nearest is, will go and look.

3:16 am

crosshair

gn ladies,im off to snore in the wifes ear again lol...poof

3:16 am

Atalante

and my local farm shop stocks it. but best friend sends me over big tins of the stuff :)

3:17 am

westford

it's great that way can make as much or as little as you want

3:17 am

Atalante

no, we only seem to get the packets

3:17 am

Atalante

yes, that's great westy, until you look in, consider, and just make the rest of the canister.

3:17 am

Atalante

bye crossy!

3:18 am

westford

that's true lol

3:18 am

Atalante

if you can't get any for whatever reason, sally, let me know, I can always send you up some!

3:18 am

westford

bye crossy sleep quietly

3:18 am

Atalante

and I really could. that stuff is addictive

3:20 am

westford

you're going to talk yourself into making some right now

3:20 am

Sally-catlover

Ok, found some stores about 30-40 miles away. Sadly not in places we visit, but I will consider a trip out! 30-40 miles doesn't sound much but our roads are very slow just here.

3:20 am

Sally-catlover

Ata, is that the brand you get, the Kraft brand?

3:21 am

Atalante

phone any budgens before you go traipsing around the countryside, most seem to stock it, but some don't. like my local one. typical! and yep.

3:21 am

Sally-catlover

Oh I would phone, and thanks.

3:22 am

westford

ata how is your sister's dog?

3:22 am

Atalante

where is your local budgens then? trying to think 30-40 miles from you!

3:22 am

westford

I just thought of the poor thing

3:23 am

Sally-catlover

Albrighton, Redditch, Newent.

3:23 am

Atalante

running around like a mad thing! still with a heavy cast on though. so running at somewhat reduced amount. back to the vet on friday for a check-up / re-plaster

3:23 am

Atalante

oh gosh. yes, not your normal days out!

3:24 am

westford

that's good to hear his people must have been more traumatized than he was

3:24 am

Sally-catlover

We've been to Albrighton to the David Austen roses place but not likely to go again for some time. Redditch is not my idea of a day out!

3:24 am

Sally-catlover

What happened to your sister's dog Ata?

3:24 am

Atalante

dogs (and cats) healing ability is amazing. I mean, she broke all the toes on 1 foot, and broke those leg bones too.

3:25 am

Atalante

my gran used to loooove going to the David Austen place

3:25 am

Sally-catlover

Oh, lovely, just found an eight and subsequent nine all by myself.

3:25 am

westford

vg sally

3:25 am

westford

all this talk of animals lol

3:26 am

Sally-catlover

lol west, no it's because I was trying to make another word which wouldn't work and suddenly realised there was a longer alternative.

3:27 am

westford

well good job just the same

3:31 am

westford

bet ata's making stove top stuffing

3:31 am

Sally-catlover

Do you mak it like it sounds, just in a pan with some water?

3:31 am

Atalante

nooooooo lol

3:31 am

Atalante

yep. or you can microwave it, but it's not as nice

3:33 am

rubyfoo

hi, I'm back for a bit

3:33 am

rubyfoo

hello ata

3:33 am

Sally-catlover

WB, ruby. We're talking about food again as you can imagine.

3:33 am

westford

hi again ruby I'm on my way out can't keep my eyes open

3:34 am

westford

see you all soon

3:34 am

Sally-catlover

bye west

3:34 am

Atalante

hi ruby!

3:35 am

rubyfoo

husband and groceries arrived, all is put away and I can put off the paperwork a little bit more!

3:37 am

rubyfoo

how did you get your name in there, ata,? Is it because you're famous?

3:37 am

Atalante

name in where??

3:38 am

Atalante

oh!

3:38 am

Atalante

LOL

3:38 am

rubyfoo

the grid

3:38 am

Atalante

one day the full thing will be there

3:38 am

rubyfoo

mine was in there once (no, not ruby)

3:38 am

Atalante

I'm not very awake yet ....

3:38 am

Atalante

how are ruby and max?

3:39 am

Sally-catlover

Mine was in there once, too.

3:39 am

Atalante

ugh, my most detested veg ins in the grid too

3:39 am

rubyfoo

I've been grooming Ruby a little every day as her coat is the most dense it's ever been this year, enough undercoat to knit a small dog.

3:39 am

rubyfoo

Max is much better and sweet as ever

3:40 am

Atalante

awwwwww

3:40 am

rubyfoo

great veg clue, but that's a funny thing no to like

3:40 am

Sally-catlover

Mmm, haven't found any veg yet. *looking*

3:40 am

rubyfoo

not*

3:40 am

rubyfoo

slad-ish veg

3:40 am

Atalante

disgusting stuff. most of my friends don't like it. they are sensible :D

3:41 am

rubyfoo

we can't be talking about the same thing! What do you use for chicken soup, then?

3:41 am

rubyfoo

salad-ish

3:42 am

Sally-catlover

Chicken?

3:42 am

Atalante

chicken soup? chicken!

3:42 am

rubyfoo

for chicken soup

3:43 am

rubyfoo

btw, when is rhubarb (look-alike to dreaded veg) season?

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

Ah! Got the veg. Yummy veg.

3:43 am

Atalante

foul stuff

3:43 am

Sally-catlover

Our rhubarb isn't ready yet, but we don't force it. Coming up nicely now though.

3:44 am

rubyfoo

not if you remove the strings and eat the inner (pale) bits

3:44 am

Sally-catlover

About May-June I would think we would start pulling.

3:44 am

rubyfoo

I want to plant some but have to find a place where the pups don't go.....

3:44 am

Atalante

foul foul foul! I can't even be in the same room as the evil stuff! :P

3:44 am

rubyfoo

my vegetable garden has been a perpetual disappointment.

3:45 am

Atalante

plant mint. even I can grow that!

3:45 am

rubyfoo

you are too funny, ata, come here and I will make you some great chicken soup. My son feels like that about dill and bananas

3:45 am

Sally-catlover

Can you fence it off with a little wire fence ruby?

3:45 am

rubyfoo

we have mint, both regular and catmint

3:45 am

Sally-catlover

Dill and banana seems a funny combination.

3:46 am

rubyfoo

not together, but he can't stand the smell of either, even cooked! Also won't eat raw tomatoes, only cooked. I guess we all have our food weirdnesses. The only thing I don't like is raw squid!

3:47 am

Atalante

can't stand ce6. nor brussels sprouts, but I could eat those if I was starving. can't be near coffee, either, but that's a real allergy thing

3:47 am

rubyfoo

and cooked salmon, except in cans

3:48 am

Sally-catlover

I have an allergy to kiwi fruit, which is usually easy to avoid except some restaurants try to decorate everything with it. Can't ever order a fresh fruit salad out, because even if they fish it out I react.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I've found a way of cooking brussels sprouts that even you might like: boil them to death, cut in half and carefully stripped of icky leaves, in salted water.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

then drain and saute (also to death) in olive oil with a little butter and sliced garlic.

3:49 am

Atalante

anything tastes good slathered in garlic! :D

3:49 am

Sally-catlover

Don't, don't, ever boil sprouts to death! They are lovely cooked al dente, tossed in a little butter.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

Even my husband, who never ate one in his [long] previous life, likes them that way. It also works for cauliflower and brocolini (romanescu?)

3:49 am

Sally-catlover

You must have fresh, not tired brussels sprouts.

3:49 am

Atalante

uhoh sprout wars

3:49 am

rubyfoo

I'm afraid I like all my vegetable overcooked! bad nelly

3:50 am

rubyfoo

who needs vitamins, anyway?

3:50 am

Sally-catlover

Stop making me laugh, ata. We like all our veg only just cooked, except potatoes. I do magic roast potatoes, crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside.

3:51 am

Sally-catlover

With sea salt on them.

3:51 am

Sally-catlover

Drool.

3:51 am

rubyfoo

I'm sure Sally's food is better than mine! I used to be a good cook but have basically lost interest since we don't entertain so much now

3:52 am

Sally-catlover

Nah, we all cook and eat differently. I love eating other people's food. Come to think of it, I just love eating ...

3:52 am

rubyfoo

Actually, if I don't cook it, everything tastes better to me

3:52 am

rubyfoo

The foods I really love are unavailable here, e.g. sushi

3:52 am

rubyfoo

T-bone steaks

3:52 am

rubyfoo

Italian sausage

3:53 am

rubyfoo

(that's NY Italian sausage)

3:53 am

Sally-catlover

Do you get back to the States sometimes, ruby, to stock up, or satisfy your cravings at least?

3:54 am

rubyfoo

yes, when I go, I always put my little suitcase into a big, soft, empty one and stock up on American products, even things like aluminum foil

3:55 am

Sally-catlover

? Surely you can get foil in France?

3:55 am

rubyfoo

and when visitors come, they always ask and bring OTC American drugs and the odd special thing, e.g. canned pumpkin

3:55 am

rubyfoo

and when I visit my son in

3:55 am

rubyfoo

TX, we pig out on Mexican food, sushi, barbeque and steaks

3:57 am

rubyfoo

does anybody have either the j or the lonely u's?

3:58 am

Sally-catlover

I have the right hand U, un 6/21, t take something off a spool.

3:58 am

Sally-catlover

Two other Us from the left. One is the bear, and one relates to wee.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

thank you sally, that was a big help

3:59 am

Sally-catlover

I have the J, thinking of a clue.

4:00 am

Sally-catlover

JU 5/22: JU + I know I can ***y on Ata for dog advice.

4:00 am

Atalante

yay me!

4:01 am

Sally-catlover

Creep that I am.

Good morning all.

Atalante

4:01 am

rubyfoo

ata is the one who first diagnosed Max and knew exactly the meds the vet wd prescribe!

4:02 am

rubyfoo

hi FM.

4:02 am

Sally-catlover

Hi FM

4:02 am

Atalante

FM!!!! how are you today?

4:03 am

FMitch

Just got back from the Doc's, don't think next Wed is going to work :( We may have to delay it at least another week :(

4:03 am

rubyfoo

Do you all know that FM gave me my first fireworks the other day? She is my angel!

4:03 am

Atalante

whenever, dear

4:04 am

FMitch

awe ruby it was my pleasure.

4:04 am

FMitch

he was manipulating my knee and now it is as sore as anything.

4:05 am

Atalante

ouchie!

4:05 am

FMitch

How was KWT Ata?

4:05 am

rubyfoo

anybody puts a hand on my knee gets smacked!

4:06 am

Atalante

fun, much tea was drunk

4:06 am

FMitch

lol ruby

4:06 am

Haz1558

Whizzing in and out again - but wanted to say hello!

4:07 am

FMitch

Good morning HAz, hows the decorating going?

4:07 am

Atalante

hello! hello glittery one!

4:07 am

Haz1558

Kitchen wallpapering nearly completed, utility room will be started today. It's looking good!

4:08 am

FMitch

Greased lightening is our Haz :)

4:08 am

Haz1558

But this morning I'm having a break and doing the business programme thing with a primary school.

4:08 am

Sally-catlover

visitor, brb

4:08 am

rubyfoo

see you later after lunch

4:08 am

FMitch

Bye ruby

4:08 am

Haz1558

I'm slow compared to the professionals, but it is satisfying to get it done.

4:09 am

FMitch

Has F heard anything from the interviews yet Haz?

4:09 am

Haz1558

Not yet, she'll probably hear by the end of this week. She is more hopeful of the second one but still not convinced that she'd be good enough.

4:10 am

Haz1558

It's all so competitive, isn't it?

4:10 am

Haz1558

I'll let you know what transpires - meanwhile, I'd better get more civilised looking for the children. I've been doing housework in my jammies!

4:10 am

Atalante

but you never get these things if you feel 110% confident

4:11 am

FMitch

fingers crossed and do let us know! I would hate to have to interview,now, would be so incredibly nervous. Amm much moreused to being the one conducting the interview.

4:11 am

FMitch

Very true Ata

4:12 am

Haz1558

I know, and she has a history of declaring that she's failed every exam she's ever sat, so we tend to wait to hear the result before we start worrying.

4:12 am

Atalante

lol I always do that too

4:12 am

Haz1558

So, off I go, hopefully see you later. And get that knee better, FM!

4:12 am

FMitch

I was very lucky once I had got established I was head hunted.

4:13 am

Haz1558

Byeee! *gone in a cloud of wallpaper paste*

4:13 am

FMitch

Im working on it Haz, see you later.

4:13 am

Haz1558

Bye!

4:14 am

FMitch

Ata have you started the grid yet and if so what is it like?

4:15 am

Atalante

started it, but only pootling with it really. its ok so far ...

4:15 am

Atalante

am trying to start writing my estuary essay, but of course today I seem to be having a post-flu day

4:16 am

FMitch

Might give it a go later but have things to do this morning.
Awe, you take care of yourself and keep warm and sunggled up.

4:18 am

FMitch

Talking of things to do I had better get going. (((Ata)))

7:55 am

EvaNadine

7:56 am

Mom

so tell Eva

7:56 am

FMitch

Oh wow wtg EvaN, when can we see a pic, dowe have to wait for the big day?

7:58 am

FMitch

LOL

7:59 am

FMitch

you should have seen what Haz wrote when I sent her that pic a while ago!

7:59 am

Judi

Dress? What dress! Egad. I suppose that could work with a very long and very thick veil.

7:59 am

EvaNadine

ahh, youve seen this one, FM?

8:00 am

FMitch

oh yes

8:00 am

Mom

I sure she had plenty to say, FMitch

8:00 am

EvaNadine

well, dang. i thought i was working with uncharted territory here...

8:00 am

Judi

I'm sure her eyes are still burning.

8:00 am

FMitch

It's not a dress Judi, it more a big skirt with a couple of discerning points shall we say.

8:00 am

Mom

I had not seen it Eva

8:01 am

FMitch

What was she thinking and what would the 2 sets of parents thought??? the mind just boggles.

8:01 am

Judi

I would hope that that's a photoshop goof and that some bride did not actually have such bad taste.

8:02 am

FMitch

After some of the outfits I have seen on TV recently related to weddings I am willing to believe that it is a real pic.

8:03 am

Mom

maybe she just wanted to show off her wedding present from her hubby. I wouldn't raise my arms to high if I were her

8:03 am

Aloyisius

OMG.. well, I guess she had to show off her enhancements that cost mega $$

8:03 am

FMitch

lol Mom

8:03 am

Judi

Stacey and Clinton should have been there to throw a burlap sack over her and stuff her into a van.

8:03 am

Mom

who is Stacey and Clinton, Judi?

8:04 am

EvaNadine

stacey + clinton are the hosts of What Not To Wear

8:04 am

hego

Back again. Saw the dress. Yikes!

8:04 am

Mom

8:04 am

Judi

HGTV show, Mom.

8:04 am

Mom

Hi Hego

8:05 am

hego

Have seen it before. Think it is real.

8:05 am

hego

Hi Mom

8:05 am

Aloyisius

the gown police should have arrested her

8:06 am

hego

You gotta wonder what man would even appear in public with that.

8:06 am

Judi

Can you imagine the poor clergy person who had to stand between 'those' while he read vows???

8:06 am

hego

lol Judi

8:07 am

FMitch

The mind boggles it really does!

8:07 am

Mom

:) Judi

8:07 am

EvaNadine

8:07 am

hego

It wasn't a church, I can tell you that for sure.

8:07 am

hego

who, Eva?

8:07 am

Judi

Ah, well. That explains a lot, Hego.

8:07 am

Mom

My dad would have thrown a fit, not that I would wear something like that.

8:08 am

Mom

as would my mom and my sweetie

8:08 am

Mom

who knows that girl might be the next star in the movie in Judi's icon

8:08 am

EvaNadine

Corey Haim -- one of "the coreys" from all the 80s movies i grew up on...

8:08 am

Aloyisius

the name strikes a bell, but can't place Corey Haim..

8:09 am

FMitch

LOL Mom!

8:09 am

Judi

Haim's picture is up on MSN, along with the news release.

8:09 am

hego

Mom, it looks just like her!

8:10 am

hego

Good nap FM. Later.

8:10 am

Aloyisius

hope you have a wonderful nap, FM... sending a sprinkle of sweet dreams dust to hover over you..

8:11 am

Mom

maybe her name is "Debbie"

8:11 am

Judi

Pulp fiction title: "She Makes Marriage a Sin".

8:12 am

hego

this grid is diabolical. Not that i've been paying that much attention to it.

8:13 am

Mom

I agree, Hego. I am having a hard time with it

8:13 am

Mom

and being distracted by EvaN's dress didn't help.

8:13 am

hego

Maybe if we focus. Hmmm....

8:14 am

Mom

EvaN, what would your fiance say if you wanted to wear a dress like that?

8:15 am

Mr Bob

Good morning eyeryone

8:21 am

Aloyisius

not from this oldster, Judi.. lol

8:21 am

hego

Babbler's all know weird stuff.

8:21 am

EvaNadine

He wrote books about veterinary matters in 1930s England. He took the title from the first line of a hymn.

lbdawger

rururocks

not seeing the au 8

9:57 am

Atalante

9:58 am

rururocks

rhymes with superman's father lbd

9:58 am

Riverdance

sorry

9:58 am

Haz1558

au8 - sounds like but is not spelled the same as the all knowing ones from Delphi.

9:58 am

lbdawger

superman had a father?

9:58 am

hurshy

of course superman had a father... a biological one AND an adoptive one!

9:58 am

rururocks

yes on Krypton

9:59 am

jmcnrick

hi ata

9:59 am

rururocks

It's Lois Lane who had Father issues

10:00 am

Riverdance

lets now forget poor Jimmy

10:00 am

Riverdance

I meant not - see this is my problem - typos

10:00 am

jmcnrick

I thought the first line of that hymn was all things bright and beautiful

10:00 am

rururocks

(thinks Jimmy and Superman had a side relationship)

10:00 am

Atalante

alllll cr9 great and small .....

10:00 am

rururocks

*wink wink*

10:01 am

jmcnrick

no i think you were tight we should forget jimmy olsen now

10:01 am

Haz1558

Okay, second line, unless it was a really wide hymnal which accomodated more than one line at once.

10:01 am

lbdawger

okie dokie. got superman's father. didn't know it was spelled with a U...tx

10:01 am

jmcnrick

all things wise and wonderful

10:01 am

rururocks

10:01 am

jmcnrick

it wasn't spelled with a U but the clue works

10:02 am

lbdawger

ahhh, that's why i couldn't see it. (not really, but that's my story and i'm sticking with it! lol)

10:02 am

hurshy

SO, the 7's are au, nu, tu x 2, and ?

10:02 am

Haz1558

We're getting very fussy about clues. If you'd been around in the days of hoops and snakes and chairs, you'd have known real pain.

10:02 am

rururocks

ROFL

10:02 am

jmcnrick

snakes?

10:02 am

Haz1558

Still looking for the other 7..

Haz1558

Exactly, jmc. Snakes. (s)

10:03 am

Atalante

no-one has said hi *sulks*

10:03 am

jmcnrick

oooh! *gets off the h*

10:03 am

Haz1558

It was a way of spelling out a word without spelling out a word. Hockey sticks for j that kind of thing.

10:04 am

lbdawger

how about the lone e? bottom of 2nd column?

10:04 am

jmcnrick

they still get used some

10:04 am

hurshy

that is not true, ata, i saw at least one person say hi to you

10:04 am

Haz1558

Hello Ata! (please say hello to Ata, she's not a pleasant sulker)

10:04 am

FMitch

HELLO ATA :)

10:04 am

lbdawger

10:12 am

Deeha

Had a wonderful time with granddaughter yesterday. She is about 32 months old.She said 'I'm going to call you your proper name' I said OK? She said I am going to call you Mum!! Because that is what my daughter calls me so she thought that was my proper name!!!

10:12 am

Atalante

she's a bad influence

That's told her, EvaN!

10:14 am

Atalante

but she's striving to become a bad influence! I complimented her!

10:14 am

EvaNadine

guess it takes one to know one...

10:14 am

Haz1558

Did you get that other sa7, hurshy? You might have missed it due to the shock of seeing me declared a bad influence and a liability all on the one day.

10:15 am

Atalante

absolutely!

10:15 am

hurshy

i saw that you clued it but i cannot figure out which of my 5's to extend and how... perhaps it is a 5 i don't have yet

I can be smug (I rented 50ps worth from Ata) I have finished.

I was wondering that

10:18 am

last night i was watching some top gear, and then as i slept, i had a dream that hammond was driving me to a dinner party at jeremy's house, and when we arrived and got out of the car, he wasn't just short, he was a midget - like 3 feet tall.

10:20 am

Atalante

nope. PUma, I think

10:20 am

Haz1558

Military copers? The strong, silent, dependable types?

10:21 am

Haz1558

FM is clearly getting stones ready for any wayward Chinook.

Dachef

hello! Love saying 'sado-masichism in the chat and watching it go quiet.

10:42 am

Atalante

but it waould have to be mado-sasichism

10:42 am

Haz1558

We've all hit that panic button that gets us through to the police.

10:42 am

Dachef

bugger. bye.

10:43 am

Haz1558

He's trying to con us into thinking he's an author. We know better.

10:44 am

Haz1558

We'll keep him talking to give the police a chance to track him down.

10:46 am

Dachef

see? This is what happens when usay 'sado-masichism' in the chog. Straight away people try to get rid of you. Sigh.

10:46 am

Atalante

I think he's vanished ...

10:46 am

10:48 am

Haz1558

I don't know about Wales, but it's been sunshine all the way for a few days here. But minus temperatures at nights means heavy frost.

10:48 am

sciencegeek

I have two pair of leather chaps, ruru - can lend one to you

10:49 am

Dachef

ruru - dont say it. I did and I got ostracized by the babble ladies - not a pleasant sight. A bit like being chased by a group of angry nuns.

collared shirts always make little boys look older anyway.

10:51 am

Haz1558

I know! But he's not a baby any more, he's a real little boy.

10:52 am

Did I mention that we spent a day in Heriot country last fall ?-- beautiful countryside.

11:00 am

hootowl

Isn't everything outside of London beautiful?

11:01 am

cybernan

Haven't been to too many parts of England -- but our week in Yorkshire was wonderful -- fell in love with the place

11:02 am

cybernan

*now if we could only get them to drive on the right side of the road, it would be perfect!

11:02 am

hootowl

but they are on the right side

11:03 am

cybernan

no -- they drive on the left side

11:04 am

cybernan

I guess that's why we spend more time in other parts of Europe -- driving is more comfortable

11:04 am

hootowl

well it's right for them :D

11:04 am

hootowl

England is the only place they do that?

11:04 am

cybernan

Yes -- well they still drive stick shifts too

11:05 am

Dachef

having driven in both countries, I can honestly say that the British way is safer. For one, there is no conflicting green/red lights for pedestrians when you turn left in the UK, and secondly, in the US EVERY single driver is completely nuts.

11:05 am

Atalante

that's cos we actually have to have lessons before driving :P

11:06 am

cybernan

as far as lights go, I don't think it makes any difference -- everything is just the opposite

11:06 am

hootowl

I beg to differ with that! I am not nuts! But Memphis is well-known for crazy drivers!

11:06 am

cybernan

It certainly requires a lot more concentration for us

11:06 am

Atalante

the traffic light system is pretty different in the US compared to the UK

11:07 am

hootowl

I don't know that they understand the word "lessons"

11:07 am

cybernan

It just amuses me that the Brits seem to have to buck the world

11:07 am

Atalante

err no, you lot bucked our lead :P

11:07 am

Dachef

cyber - I think you'll find that we were, erm, sort of, first? An

11:08 am

hootowl

yeah - that's probably it. But were they driving carts on the left even then?

11:08 am

cybernan

agreed ata and dachef -- but you are still in the minority

11:08 am

Atalante

absolutely

11:08 am

hootowl

and proud of ittoo!

11:08 am

Atalante

doesn't mean it's wrong!

11:09 am

hootowl

nope

11:09 am

cybernan

however it is a moot point as I don't think anyone is going to change over -- was just commenting on the fact that as a North American, I feel more comfortable driving in France, Italy or Germany than I do in England and Scotland

11:10 am

Atalante

I love driving in the US

11:10 am

hootowl

Out of the cities and interstates it is great!

11:11 am

hootowl

Except for the little towns whose only income is traffic fines.

11:11 am

Dachef

me too - its like a roller coaster. Go to the shops to get some milk and theres a 50/50 chance you'll get back in one piece.

11:11 am

Atalante

it's so much quieter than driving in the UK. Give me LA over London any day

11:11 am

cybernan

I must say our most hair raising experience was driving through Place d'Etoile at rush hour.

11:11 am

Dachef

but to be fair, I suppose I've only really driven in LA. THe interstate is a lottery here.

11:11 am

Atalante

lol the first time I ever drove in the US was on the I5 in Seattle. That was amusing.

11:12 am

hootowl

I cn't believe LA traffic is that good. It has quite a rep here. Did you go thru at midnight?

11:12 am

cybernan

I15 is a piece of cake compared to LA

11:12 am

Riverdance

driving in boston is an experience

11:12 am

Dachef

THe first time I went on the interstate, I had to change my trousers. Twice.

11:13 am

Atalante

driven in LA at all random hours of the day. It's still less busy than London!

11:13 am

hootowl

This is not getting me my last 3 words! Anyone have the sa7,6 & 5.

11:13 am

hootowl

I find that very hard to believe Ata

11:14 am

Dachef

ata - you're right, its not as busy. Much faster and much scarier tho.

11:14 am

Atalante

well, I can only tell you what I've experienced

11:15 am

Atalante

yes, scarier - too many lanes and turn-offs! But I'd still prefer to drive there everyday than London

11:15 am

Riverdance

wish I could help hoot but dont have them either

11:15 am

hootowl

ok - well BF went for boxes so we can pack for moving on the 26th. BBl - have fun

11:15 am

Dachef

really? wow! Personally, give me London traffic any day!!!

11:15 am

11:16 am

And timing when you drive is important too

Fireworks!

11:17 am

I have to drive 30 miles before i even get a stoplight.

11:17 am

It's probably drivers like me, on the interstates that you guys hate....

11:17 am

herekittykitty

Need clues?

11:21 am

Riverdance

clue for nu7

11:21 am

Atalante

I love your interstates, sooo easy to drive on. I get to drive in Canterbury with roundabouts, 1 way systems, traffic lights, 3 lanes merging into 1 at random intervals, speed limits of 60mph down tiny country lanes etc etc!

Down to last two - sa 7/40 and sc 6/21 any clues please

11:25 am

cybernan

I can sympathise with that, ata --- our parking space in York was through a narrow little carriage way into a private parking area behind some shops and the car the rental agency substituded for the one we had ordered was, I am sure, the larges model of Volvo made over there. The result was we had to keep driving around the block so we could make a right hand turn into the area -- the car wouldn't fit through on one go for a left turn!

11:26 am

Hey, Ataaaaaa! how are you?

11:27 am

LOL sounds familiar, Cnan. Imagine that kind of stuff every day just to get around Canterbury!

11:28 am

Atalante

after that for years, suddenly your roads become just so wide and huge and nice!

11:29 am

Vicuna

Poor EvaN. Life is so difficult sometimes!

EvaNadine

12:10 pm

12:11 pm

EvaNadine

12:11 pm

Vicuna

Have you breached the bananas defenses yet?

12:11 pm

hego

eating pb & j as we speak.

12:13 pm

rubyfoo

ew!

12:14 pm

Vicuna

Sigh. It's nice to see all the new arrivals, but lunch is finished, tea's gone luke, the words are coming slowly, and I'd better get back to work soon.

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

what? it's just mash banana then

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

when i still ate sugar i made my own jam

12:14 pm

rubyfoo

I like bananas fried in butter, dowsed in orange juice, sugar and grand marnier and set on fire!

12:14 pm

jmcnrick

now i just make pickles and freeze stuff

12:15 pm

rubyfoo

what kind of pickles?

12:15 pm

Vicuna

I like making chutney.

12:15 pm

rubyfoo

one very nice thing here is pre-cooked beets. Then I just slice them with a little bit of turnip and garlic and add a sweet brine

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

and wait a month

12:16 pm

hego

phone call, back now.

12:16 pm

rubyfoo

and onions (sorry)

12:16 pm

jmcnrick

kosher, bread/n/butter, and i want to make bread'n'butter jalapenos but just haven't had time, jalapenos and energy all at the same time

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

oh boy, jmc!

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

haven't made chutney since my hubby died (17 years)

12:17 pm

hego

pb & j all over my mouse lol

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

we made a huge batch of peach chutney

12:17 pm

jmcnrick

*hands hego a wetnap*

12:17 pm

rubyfoo

I've never had peach chutney, just mango

12:18 pm

hego

how do you use it jmc

12:18 pm

Vicuna

Mmmm... I made apricot chutney this year.

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

or a new mouse

12:18 pm

hego

ty

12:18 pm

rubyfoo

ooh

12:18 pm

jmcnrick

we went to a pick your own peach place and then cooked away

12:19 pm

jmcnrick

how do you use what hego? the wetnap? like a samp cloth

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

when I had more energy, I used to do really elaborate indian cooking, but now it's just too many hours in the kitchen. Even used to make fresh cheese and my own puris

12:19 pm

hego

how do you use chutney?

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

on cold meats like pork or lamb

12:19 pm

jmcnrick

oooh? it is a sweet spicy relish so with meat is good

12:19 pm

hego

sounds yum

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

do you know how to make paneer? I would love to konw that

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

and of course on the side with curries and birianis

12:20 pm

Vicuna

You can use it as a side dish, especially with Indian food, or with meats, you can mix it with cottage cheese for a snack, you can use it as a spread with crackers or bread...

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

is that fresh cheese?

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

i sometimes add chutney to my leftover thanksgiving turkey sandwich

12:20 pm

Vicuna

Yup, excellent in sandwiches...

12:20 pm

jmcnrick

it is the indian cheese in Saag (or Palaak) Paneer

12:21 pm

rubyfoo

I wonder if paneer is like the fresh cheese they sell here called faiselle

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

i think my sister and I will have to make cutney this summer

12:21 pm

jmcnrick

my Indian friends told me to substitute tofu . . . .but it is not the same

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

I need to borrow somebody's children to pick stuff in June and again in August!

12:22 pm

Atalante

I think it's near enough, ruby

12:22 pm

Vicuna

Last year I did green tomato and mint chutney. It was a little weird, but my dad *loved* it and ate most of it single-mouthedly.

12:22 pm

jmcnrick

faiselle is like paneer?

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

I think a better substitute is whole-milk yoghurt hung up in cheesecloth for a day or two

12:22 pm

Dorens

used to make a chutney with friends.. recipe from "the store" cookbook and it had mangos, melon, peaches, pears, walnuts...the kitchen sink and it was sublime

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

to get rid of the whey

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

one year I had so many green cherry tomatoes at the end of the season i made bushels of green tomato relish

12:23 pm

Vicuna

Hello, Doren.

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

Dorens: happy to see you. Now on the 3rd JSF book, Eating Animals

12:23 pm

jmcnrick

took hours but i could bear throwing them out and i had to pick them because a hard frost was coming

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

I used to make tomato chutney and one year did the same with green tomatoes

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

mmmmm eating animals

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

hi doren

12:24 pm

Vicuna

Yep, that's exactly why I did mine. Early frost predicted.

12:24 pm

hego

Yum animals

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

by the time I finish the book, I may give them up....

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

that would just make greek yogurt ruby

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

one of his characters, who is also a vegetarian, describes his being sad (he's a little boy) as having heavy boots.

12:25 pm

hego

yum Greek yogurt.

12:25 pm

Vicuna

Hmm... with all this talk of food, maybe lunch shouldn't be finished quite yet.

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

do you make tzatzki [sp?] with Greek yoghurt. Also wonderful with cold lamb

12:26 pm

jmcnrick

i have killed and dressed enough animals i am unlikely to change my willingness to eat them

12:26 pm

Dorens

good to hear that ruby. i saw him on tv discussing the book, but haven't read it yet

12:26 pm

hego

Ruby you're so internaional!

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

what was he like on television?

12:26 pm

hego

Hi Dorens

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

not sure what tzatzki is

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

that's just because I used to be a faculty wife in a previous life and learned to cook by making exotic entire menus

12:27 pm

Dorens

hi j, hego, vi and all. He was very interesting and amiable... just a short interview on The Daily Show

12:27 pm

sprite

tzaziki - yoghurt and cucumber and garlic

12:27 pm

sprite

evening all

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

it's greek yoghurt with grated cucumber, onion, gaarlic, parsley and salt and a little cumin

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

i just finished looking that up -- think of that as raita

12:27 pm

hego

hiya Sprite!

12:27 pm

Dorens

hi sprite... how've you been?

12:27 pm

jmcnrick

hi sprite

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

hello sprite

12:28 pm

Dorens

and then there is indian raita, similar ingredients, and it is in the grid ALL the time

12:28 pm

sprite

quite ill but recovering now. How bout you?

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

you're right, I had forgotten raita and have just transposed it into more elaborate tzatziki *blushing*

12:28 pm

Dorens

oh, haha, jmc mentioned the raita also. gm, gm

12:28 pm

Vicuna

Hello, sprite. Recovering is good.

12:28 pm

Dorens

glad you're recovering sprite... i've been fine

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

brain is getting old!

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

glad yu are recovering, sprite, spring will help and hego prob=mised that it will come.....

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

but raita is not accepted by enable grrr

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

typing is deteriorating, another bad sign

12:30 pm

sprite

am confident about spring

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

you're kidding

12:30 pm

sprite

enable is very partial. But raita isn't in today's grid either.

12:30 pm

Dorens

neither is ancho, but nacho is... go figure

12:30 pm

jmcnrick

*gives sprite a soft knitted comforter to wrap around her in the chog*

12:30 pm

hego

Almost here, Ruby!

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

enable's food choices are very odd - doesn't accept shiso or ramen

12:31 pm

sprite

oh jmc that is so sweet and cuddly. Thanks!

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

taco but not ramen

12:31 pm

Dorens

oh my, the foods that i know about and see in the grid but are not accepted by enable would fill a huge dining room table

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

but yesterday accepted puissant!!!

12:31 pm

jmcnrick

I hope you like teh pale yellow color sprite

12:31 pm

hego

yup

12:31 pm

sprite

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

sounds like a plan - we could do a babble pot luck with dishes from around the world!

12:32 pm

Dorens

aha! a green stalky vegetable IS here today

12:32 pm

sprite

and a cleared butter

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

12:32 pm

Dorens

12:32 pm

hego

2:13 pm

hego

It was great! Who'd a thunk it. lol

2:13 pm

dcseain

my grandma's meatloaf was made wrapped in bacon, with hard-cooked eggs set into the top so each slice had a bit of egg.

2:14 pm

hego

CROSSY?

2:14 pm

Nancy Boy

*wakes up* hi Seain! I was daydreaming.

2:14 pm

Nancy Boy

Think the cat's asleep on my back

2:14 pm

hego

Hi seain, this was Crossy's recipe.

2:14 pm

dcseain

2:14 pm

2:16 pm

dcseain

hasta, hego

2:17 pm

sciencegeek

OW no she is not asleep. Or if she is, she's dreaming about clawing things.

2:17 pm

dcseain

congrats, science

2:17 pm

Nancy Boy

well done, Science!

2:17 pm

dcseain

bummer, NB

2:17 pm

sciencegeek

dc any news on the job front?

2:18 pm

crosshair

oh hego, did you do my meatloaf?

2:18 pm

sciencegeek

she did your loaf crossy and it was good

2:18 pm

dcseain

she did, crossy and liked it

2:18 pm

dcseain

alas, not as yet, science

2:18 pm

sciencegeek

NB is the weather any better?

2:18 pm

sciencegeek

sorry dc!

2:19 pm

dcseain

thanks :)

2:21 pm

Nancy Boy

not as such, Science...and our heating leaves much to be desired so I'm wearing roughly half of Leo's winter wardrobe right now ;)

2:21 pm

dcseain

it's warm enough the windows are open here today. nice change from all the cold and snow.

2:23 pm

Nancy Boy

sounds nice, Seain! I'll continue to hang around for the standard british summer...all seven days of it...

2:24 pm

dcseain

Summer here runs may-late Sep most years, temp-wise.

2:26 pm

Nancy Boy

I can't understand how you get anything done in the USA. I'd be lounging around all the time!

2:26 pm

crosshair

summer here goes from aug 29th to sept 3rd lol

2:27 pm

dcseain

here around DC, it happens slowly due to the humidity and heat through a chunk of the year.

2:27 pm

redturtlehead

Back again hopefully to finish off my last 45, watching Phineas and Ferb enjoy themselves...

2:28 pm

crosshair

tbh sept can be the best month of the whole year in this area

2:28 pm

dcseain

in New England, Summer is July at best. It rarely gets warm there by my standards. And what they call Spring, we down here call Winter.

2:28 pm

dcseain

April and October are the nicest months here.

2:28 pm

redturtlehead

78 here right now....

2:28 pm

crosshair

lol we would be in the pool with 78

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

I was indeed in the pool earlier. and running and strolling with doggie...

2:29 pm

crosshair

and panting like old hound dogs if it got over 85

2:29 pm

Nancy Boy

Well here in OLD England, summer only happens if you're stuck in a classroom at school. Now that I'm out of school, the sun might never shine again.

2:29 pm

redturtlehead

it is the best day in forever...

2:30 pm

redturtlehead

and the L's and liquified.

2:30 pm

dcseain

i think i'll head out to the Blue Ridge for some hiking next week.

2:30 pm

lynxxx

Morning all. You sound sooo contented Red

2:31 pm

dcseain

morning, lyn

2:31 pm

redturtlehead

I feel much much better than I have in a long time. I really really hate that chill we had.

2:31 pm

redturtlehead

Hi Lynnxx!

2:32 pm

dcseain

yes, the chill that tripled the price of tomatos

2:32 pm

redturtlehead

strawberries too, and oddly....blueberries which I thought were made up north.

2:33 pm

dcseain

blueberries here come from NJ or ME. I didn't know that they grew them in FL. Strawberries come from TX, Honduras, or Mexico, sometimes CA usually.

2:34 pm

redturtlehead

Plant City Fl grows lots of Strawberries. I dont think we do blueberries, but...they have gone up a dollar.

2:34 pm

redturtlehead

they are ripe now, the strawbs

2:34 pm

dcseain

huh. i'll have to check when i go to the store.

2:35 pm

redturtlehead

We are at least getting them.

2:36 pm

redturtlehead

which area do you go hiking in Seain?

2:36 pm

dcseain

last several weeks, blueberries have been about $2/half pint around here.

2:36 pm

redturtlehead

today they were 3.98....too much for me. I will skip the antipxidants for a while.

2:37 pm

dcseain

I usually hit Sky Meadows State Park in Delaplane, near Paris, VA, take the North Ridge to the Ambassador-Whitehouse traile, to the Appalachian trail, head south, then back north, then the South Ridge back down to the parking lot.

2:37 pm

dcseain

wow, that's expensive!

2:37 pm

lynxxx

are farmers subsidized by govt. in the States?

2:37 pm

redturtlehead

Yes, I was not so pleased.

2:37 pm

dcseain

for corn (maize) and sugar they are, cotton some. Wheat in some years.

2:38 pm

redturtlehead

Lynxx, there are several subsidy programs in the US. Some years people are paid by the government not to grow...

2:38 pm

dcseain

gov't will subsidize crops where there have been weather disasters impacting them.

2:38 pm

dcseain

yeah, paid not to grow to keep prices up for some commidities

2:39 pm

dcseain

a local turnip farm recently became McMansions near here.

2:39 pm

redturtlehead

I didnt know they subsidized sugar. the State of Florida recenlty bought thousands of acres from "US sugar" and turned it back to the everglades.

2:41 pm

dcseain

yes, part of the Everglades restoration undoing what the Corps of Engineers did in the 30s to restore the flow

2:41 pm

dcseain

so they're buying back some settled land and removing most of the dams

2:41 pm

redturtlehead

I'm surprised and proud of Florida, I dont think the state has a good environmental record.

2:44 pm

dcseain

overall no, but studies found that the everglades were dying where the flow was disrupted, flooding rates were higher near disrupted flow, and groundwater was getting poisoned near disrupted flow. So, they're doing the right thing FL and the Army Corps of Engineers.

2:44 pm

dcseain

(i've been following this rather closely)

2:45 pm

Nancy Boy

sounds quite close to your heart, Seain

2:45 pm

redturtlehead

I have been a bit obsessed with the glades since I did a report on them in 7th grade.

2:45 pm

redturtlehead

It was the first National Park to be set aside simply for the wildlife and not the scenery...

2:46 pm

lynxxx

when you 'settled' do you mean houses as well DC or is it all under crop

2:46 pm

dcseain

i'd like to visit the glades someday. I want to visit Great Dismal Swamp, too.

2:46 pm

dcseain

houses and cropsland both, lyn - not all of it, but a lot of it.

2:46 pm

redturtlehead

Yes and Cypress preserve. I need to take a weekend and go down.

2:47 pm

redturtlehead

thats one reason I love Merritt Island Preserve, it all works so well with the space center, for once nature and technology working together.

2:47 pm

dcseain

Great Dismal Swamp is only 4h from here, but i've not gone yet.

2:48 pm

redturtlehead

I have driven through parts of it dc, but never actually explored it.

2:48 pm

Nancy Boy

infuriatingly, we're the opposite here. it's an infuriating government that refuses to build a tidal power station because it would disturb some birds. not having a planet to live on might disturb them even more, methinks.

2:50 pm

dcseain

wow, that bus just went by very, very fast.

2:50 pm

redturtlehead

oh no, perhaps manufactured by toyota.

2:51 pm

dcseain

i'm betting just late on the route.

2:51 pm

dcseain

nancy, any advantage to tidal vs wind in your opinion?

2:52 pm

Atalante

NB, much of that is issues with EU designations

2:52 pm

lynxxx

hi Ata!

2:53 pm

Atalante

and hi :)

2:53 pm

redturtlehead

hi Atalante. finished?

2:53 pm

Atalante

nope :)

2:53 pm

Nancy Boy

Wind power all the way. Can't stand all the uptight NIMBY monkeys who think wind farms are eyesores. Personally, I think they're beautiful.

2:54 pm

Nancy Boy

Hi Ata :) gorgeous sunset! or rise...

2:54 pm

redturtlehead

we neither

2:54 pm

Atalante

trying to write some interesting and informative blurb about estuary management

2:54 pm

Atalante

sunrise!

2:54 pm

lynxxx

Everyone here seems to object to the noise of the wind towers. I love the look of them though

2:55 pm

dcseain

the windfarms i've visited in Pennsylvania have not been noisy.

2:55 pm

Atalante

I love wind farms. Though they aren't that useful, really

2:55 pm

dcseain

they're on the W side of the Appalachian Ridge near the PA Turnpike.

2:55 pm

Atalante

in terms of replacing significant amounts of fossil fuel power

2:55 pm

redturtlehead

not that useful yet...

2:55 pm

redturtlehead

I think they are still perfecting the technology.

2:56 pm

Atalante

the tech isn't the issue ...

2:56 pm

redturtlehead

COuld I get a clue or two for some of the H's???

2:56 pm

lynxxx

we have too much fossil fuel !

2:56 pm

Atalante

well, not all the issue

2:56 pm

redturtlehead

I have the obvious employment ones.

2:57 pm

lynxxx

Archilles

2:58 pm

redturtlehead

oh and that one too....actually now tha ti have pluralled a bit I have only one missing thanks!

2:58 pm

redturtlehead

liking the grid

2:58 pm

Atalante

hi + pq**t + spanish article

2:58 pm

Nancy Boy

I just can't understand why nobody is prepared to make any significant, binding legislation/invest more money in alternative energy sources. Even if Climate Change is a figment of one's imagination (doubtful), the oil WILL run out.

2:59 pm

dcseain

ty, some how i get it from that clue, ata

2:59 pm

car.eeyore

TY Ata!

2:59 pm

dcseain

NB, that will change as my parent's generation dies and gets out of power.

3:00 pm

redturtlehead

thanks!!!! Ata, what an odd word.

3:00 pm

Atalante

I think more investment would be made if there were better alt energy sources - better in terms of % replacement of fossil fuels. and also if nuclear power wasn't so vote-losing

3:01 pm

dcseain

i live between two nuclear plants, including the oldest in the US. Dominion, my power company, is applying to build more nuclear plants.

3:02 pm

redturtlehead

I live between two of them as well, and I lived through the three mile island debacle...

3:02 pm

Nancy Boy

it's all just money. nobody is prepared to spend it even though I can't think what could possibly be more important

3:02 pm

Atalante

we will need more nuclear plants to really get a good swap over, with our current technology. Sucks, but there it is

3:05 pm

dcseain

one guy i know, his family had to move due to three mile island - the went to Centralia, PA, then had to move again due to the coal fire there. The went to NY state, where his family has stayed since.

3:05 pm

dcseain

indeed, ata

3:06 pm

redturtlehead

wow, centralia is one of those bizarre things. I did not know they relocated people after TMI

3:06 pm

redturtlehead

My parents were plenty nervous during the event

3:09 pm

dcseain

they lived 3 blocks from TMI

3:10 pm

redturtlehead

it is a nice area, I think they have turned it into a place now called "Cty Island" some of a permanent thing with a ferris wheel etc.

3:11 pm

dcseain

huh. interesting

3:11 pm

redturtlehead

But I could be wrong about the exact area, City Island is very very close to the closed reactor.

3:11 pm

dcseain

Lake Anna, VA - part of which is cooling pond for the Lake Anna Nuclear Plant - is warm enough to swim in in the Winter

3:12 pm

redturtlehead

blue spring state park is also warmed by a reactor in Florida. a lot of the Manatees hang out there.

3:13 pm

dcseain

how nice for the manatees :)

3:13 pm

jmcnrick

city island is up river from TMI

3:13 pm

jmcnrick

i didn't get that hi clue ata

3:14 pm

dcseain

hi, jmc

3:14 pm

redturtlehead

hi jmc!

3:14 pm

Atalante

hi + alphabet: mnopq**tuvw + spanish article

3:14 pm

lynxxx

the middle bit was the alphabet jmc. Hi

3:15 pm

3:32 pm

dcseain

he's been busy with touring, and has been home for a couple days before heading out again - barely knows which end is up, been so busy

3:32 pm

redturtlehead

I dont have that one car

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

bye jmb

4:03 pm

jmcnrick

he got way more into pogs which may be too old for you NB

4:04 pm

Nancy Boy

I used to have hundreds of the things. They were so expensive though! Â£2.50 for 11 cards, as I recall.

4:05 pm

Nancy Boy

they are one of the few things I remember from school. Apart from essay manipulation; that is planted firmly inside my mind. Iiiinching the margins in, .5 pts added to font size, sliiiightly increased line spacing, headers and footers...bam, three pages right there ;)

4:05 pm

dcseain

ah, yes, skills useful for resumes/CVs, if in the other direction, NB

4:08 pm

Nancy Boy

LOL Seain. So school really is useful.

4:08 pm

dcseain

it does have its uses, yes :)

4:09 pm

dcseain

well, I must admit I've been lucky with the way it's all turned out for me, being that I'm always been quite lucky getting a job, and I have a definite place to stay until Leo finds someone better looking ;)

4:13 pm

dcseain

i feel your pain, kc, deeply

4:14 pm

Nancy Boy

Mmmm yeah Kc. I come home covered in beer and bar sweat. But yes, I know how lucky I am :/ but I suppose alcohol-related industries don't suffer so much in a recession. if anything people drink more.

4:14 pm

Nancy Boy

but sorry...I typed before thinking. I've been very, very lucky so far...

4:14 pm

kc8501

yeah. Believe me, I know how it goes. Mr went out to CA a week or so ago to interview some folks, called me and apologized for not being as sensitive to it as he should. Guess a couple of the guys all but broke down, as they were losing thier jobs and he was their only hope

4:15 pm

kc8501

LOL NB I was just giving you a hard time! :-) I will say one good thing about it though... It means I have TOTALLY been able to enjoy the last 3 great days

4:17 pm

the census sent a letter saying the census form will arrive in about a week, and to fill it out and send it back. seems rather a waste of money

4:51 pm

jmcnrick

if they don't have an online option, file out the form

4:53 pm

dcseain

i meant them sendng a notice saying the form will arrive was a waste of money, rather than the form itself.

4:53 pm

jmcnrick

oh -- i think they are trying to assure that it doesn't get tossed with the junk mail

4:54 pm

crosshair

i once got a rebate cheque back from the govt for 64 cents,now thats a waste

4:54 pm

the giant US CENSUS BUREAU UNITED STATES CENSUS 2010 should be a clue, but yes, likely o

5:26 pm

ch1212

Our family just started one online -- taking 4 generations of "stuff" and telling the story that goes with each item. Kind of a vintage/antique store. Your business sounds MUCH more daunting! Kudos to you, and please keep us all informed!

5:27 pm

Does your store have a name yet?

5:27 pm

Jellen

The Oddities Shop

5:28 pm

jmcnrick

bye mongie

5:28 pm

ch1212

Love it! Sounds like a fun place to browse. Will you have your own inventory or be part-consignment for other antique owners?

5:29 pm

Jellen

Mostly our own stuff, but will probably take consignments, too...

5:30 pm

ch1212

Well, if you decide to have an online presence for your store, let us know. Meantime, we'll be rooting for you.

Good luck Jellen, let's hear all about it

5:36 pm

Jellen

Nothing much to tell yet, bichon...we've been collecting and selling for about a year now in flea markets...

5:37 pm

Jellen

We have so much excess inventory, we'd been talking to another antique store owner about opening up, or even buying them out...

5:37 pm

Jellen

Then this building came available, and things just started falling into place!

5:38 pm

Jellen

NBT for me!

5:51 pm

lynxxx

I'm not however will check out your site s it develops

5:52 pm

ch1212

Will do, jellen! That's a good idea for our family's online store -- to establish a Facebook presence. Right now we're just listed for search engines, and on the main directory of the site that hosts stores. I hope you will consider putting some of your items in an online store too --- it's completely free at ecrater.com

5:53 pm

Jellen

We also have a web page in development... www.odditiesshop.com...don't have much on there yet...

5:53 pm

ch1212

oh, then nevermind. You'll have your own site!

5:53 pm

Jellen

I'll have to check ecrater out...we've sold some on Bonanzle.com...

5:55 pm

ch1212

Take a look at our store if you do, jellen -- we know nothing about antiques, but I do the research on the vintage item pricing, and I think it's okay... hard to tell, we're new at this. The stories are all true, though! :) www.familyattic.ecrater.com

5:56 pm

Jellen

I've pulled it up to look, ch1212!

5:57 pm

ch1212

If you think I've priced things way too high or too low, feel free to enlighten! :)

5:59 pm

Tim's taking a look now...

5:59 pm

There are only 81 items on it as of this morning, because we just started posting things a couple weeks ago.

I hope non-finishers are tu 4/5 into the chog.Here is another clue story.So I was in a ch6/30 mood as I tu 4/5ed in to watch the ri 4/6 & famous at the Oscars I am glad they hi4/5ed Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin to be hosts.They were the on4/4 who would make or break the show&they definitely made it! It was such a tr 5/10 to see their banter. I hope the hi 5/12 for the show next ye 4/6 gives them another tu 4/5 to host again. I ch 5/14ed so loud as the winners were announced.I liked the award show this year. None of it was ch5/14.Nobody acted like an ar 4/4 on stage. The Oscar predictions were easy to make this year. It was cl 5/12 who the winners would be before they were announced. However, I could not believe my ea 4/4 when "The Hurty Locker" won for best picture. I thought it would've been Avatar. Jeff Bridges looked a little ra 5/14,but he deserved to win. I was hoping they would re 5/12 the show on tv because I missed parts of the show. Now it is time for me to tu 4/5 in for the night. Goodnight to my fellow babblers! Bye!

9:28 pm

wht

You could have a Jack and then pass out.

9:28 pm

jillibus

Hello -- is there anyone here?

11:09 pm

Pinikula

good evening all...

11:09 pm

Pinikula

Just arriving, jilli...how are you?

11:10 pm

jillibus

ready to relax, pini -- and you?

11:10 pm

Pinikula

same here...relaxing until I fall asleep...

11:10 pm

Pinikula

doing well, are you?

11:10 pm

jillibus

well, here it's only 9:10 pm

11:11 pm

Pinikula

same here, jilli...

11:11 pm

Pinikula

I was up until midnight last night doing some paperwork for a friend...and then a full day at the office...I'm burnt to a crisp ;)

11:12 pm

jillibus

of course --I forgot - it's been a busy day with a computer techie here tidying up my machine

11:12 pm

Pinikula

is it working better now?

11:12 pm

jillibus

I think so

11:13 pm

Pinikula

that's good!

11:13 pm

jillibus

It was just being sluggish and there were some things popping up at boot-time which I didn't want and he got rid of them, among other things

11:14 pm

jillibus

also hopes to get a way to open some Publisher files which were made on an older version and won't open now

11:15 pm

jillibus

full of good advice too -- very nice guy

11:15 pm

Pinikula

I can relate to that kinda of thing on some days...

11:15 pm

Pinikula

that's good to have a great tech

11:16 pm

jillibus

I was showing him Babble and he seemed quite taken with it ;)

11:16 pm

Pinikula

I think anyone who sees it is "smitten" with it...

11:17 pm

jillibus

btw -- do you have any trouble with refreshing BabbleExpert? Or don't you use it?

11:17 pm

Pinikula

it's the only the only thing I use...

11:17 pm

Pinikula

Depending on what's it's doing will determine whether I simply Refresh or back out and reenter...

11:17 pm

jillibus

I've told all sorts of people about Babble andthey're not interested -- say they're too busy.

11:18 pm

Pinikula

they must have lives! :) LOL

11:19 pm

jillibus

changing an icon -- used to work with refresh but now doesn't -- have to back out and reenter. Guru thinks it's Lickety's problem, possibly caused by Windows updates.

11:19 pm

Pinikula

very possible....

11:20 pm

jillibus

Looks as if YOU have a life, as do all the other fully emplyed babblers. I guess they don't need much sleep!

11:20 pm

Pinikula

Oh, not really...just been helping a friend these past 2 weeks...but that's slowing down now...(to my relief)

11:21 pm

jillibus

well, look at all our doctors and nurses and teachers and so on!

11:22 pm

Pinikula

true, very true...

11:24 pm

Pinikula

(sorry...phone call)

11:24 pm

jillibus

you're allowed!

11:28 pm

Jellen
