Si8nce I'm retired, it doesn't matter too much, but I feel someone should do things like vacuum and dust -- and since I live alone -- well, frankly by the time I'm up and make a pot of tea, I decide to let the housework go for yet another day. Really, I need a wife!!

Choice? well, I didn't retire until I was 65, and I don't have expensive tastes or out-of-control credit cards, so I just live the way I want to - reading , quilting & playing babble. Life really is very good.

3:19 am
sandyloo

we have to have wireless internet as we have no broadband here (and only 20mins from the CBD) I think that is the problem -on the whole not too bad
3:19 am

Take care Christine
3:19 am
herinfernallady

Christine you need a cooling mat
3:22 am
Christine

Yes, I've seen them advertised - I guess I'll see if the stor has them, or order online.
3:26 am

Goodnight, all. God bless --- and off she poofs.

ah, just what the doctor ordered: a biggish grid. Good morning all.
3:30 am
Sally-catlover

Hi sprite! And you are straight in the pb for your icon theme :-)
3:31 am
sprite

oh cooool! It had to happen some day :)
Hi Sally, how's life today?
3:32 am
Sally-catlover

Good, but I'm tired. Had people to lunch yesterday and it was a long day. Was hard to get up early to let the chooks out this morning. Now it is raining but think the sun will be out soon.
3:32 am
sprite

do you have a chance to take things a bit slow today?
3:32 am
herinfernallady

Hi Sally HI sprite
3:33 am
sprite

hi lady :)
3:33 am
Sally-catlover

Well, I am at the moment:-) Then have to leave in half an hour for a haircut, and out this evening. Have to make a pudding for this evening but doing an easy one.
3:34 am
sandyloo

hi sprite
3:34 am
sprite

sounds relatively slow ;)
It is raining here too, very hard. Does not look like it will stop any time soon.
3:34 am
Sally-catlover

Making a hazelnut meringue gateau. Meringue layers with hazelnuts in them, then filled with cream and raspberries.
3:34 am
sprite

hey sandy :)
3:34 am
herinfernallady

wow this is the first time I have seen a large grid but smal letters. Bring on the four letter long
3:34 am
sprite

ooooo *wipes drool away* That sounds so delicious.
3:35 am
Sally-catlover

It is, looks impressive but quick to make. My own egg whites, naturally :-)
3:35 am
sandyloo

sally that sounds like a recipe i want
3:35 am
sandyloo

any possibility?
3:36 am
sprite

oh me too please, if you are willing to share it.
3:36 am
Sally-catlover

Hang on.
3:36 am
sandyloo

I will gladly send one in return
3:36 am
Sally-catlover

Not sure if it's too long to put in the chog?
3:37 am
sprite

never
3:37 am
sandyloo

can you paste and copy and email
3:37 am
Sally-catlover

:-)
3:37 am
sandyloo

or chog is good
3:38 am
Sally-catlover

OK: 4 egg whites, 8 oz caster sugar, half teaspoon vinegar, 4 oz (100g) chopped roast hazelnuts, icing sugar, 4 oz frozen raspberries, about quarter pint double cream.
3:39 am
sandyloo

got that
3:40 am
sandyloo

I am copying and pasting in a word document
3:40 am
sprite

me too :)
3:40 am
Sally-catlover

Whip egg whites till very thick, add sugar gradually (don't overbeat), then add vinegar and fold in nuts. Divide between 2 creased and bakewell-lined large flan dishes. Cook 30 minutes at No4/180C, then 15-30 mins at No 2/150C. Then turn upside down onto fresh bakewell, remove lining, return to oven to dry at very low (No 1,120C) to dry for about 30 mins or so. Cool (doesn't take long). Put whipped cream and defrosted raspberries in middle, dust with icing sugar.
3:41 am
Sally-catlover

Will check size of my flan dishes in a minute. Sorry creased should read greased!
3:42 am
sprite

what is a flan dish?
3:42 am
Sally-catlover

Alternative: add 100g very dark melted chocolate to cream for filling, then drizzle a little of the melted chocolate on top.
3:42 am
herinfernallady

I will eat the filling you can have the maringo
3:43 am
herinfernallady

A flan dish is a pie dish squished flatter
3:44 am
sprite

ok thank you, I think I know what you mean
3:44 am
Sally-catlover

My dishes are pyrex about 9 inches diameter, and I don't take the meringue right to the very edge because it spreads a bit anyway.
3:44 am
sandyloo

so i take it that it ends up to be a round shape?
3:44 am
herinfernallady

You know what a Quiche is?
3:45 am
sprite

yes I love quiche
3:46 am
Sally-catlover

Yes, it's round like a round cake. The meringue is very light and cracks, but that's fine. If you sieve icing sugar over the top it looks wonderful and hides any cracking of the meringue.
3:46 am
herinfernallady

That is baked in a flan dish. I didn't mean to make you sound silly Sprite but I didn't know if there was a Dutch word
3:46 am
sprite

and bakewell is baking paper?
3:46 am
sandyloo

I have a great recipe for a chicken and macadamia nuts flan- it is a great dish for lunch served with a baby spinach salad . Does any one want that I can email it
3:46 am
Sally-catlover

Yes please sandy. My email (one of them!) is in my profile.
3:46 am
sprite

sandy, yes please :)
3:47 am
sprite

Sally thank you very much! Looks delicious and I think I can pull it off. My family will be baffled :)
3:47 am
Sally-catlover

Bakewell is a parchment paper, better than greaseproof because it is totally non stick and just lifts off.
3:47 am
herinfernallady

Sprite it is baking paper but more like Greaseproof
3:48 am
sprite

I am glad you are trying to help me, lady :) It is really tough translating recipies into dutch. So many words that are not in a dictionary.
3:48 am
Sally-catlover

When I have made it later today I will take a photo of it.
3:48 am
herinfernallady

Sprite I am used to translating.
3:49 am
sprite

thanks for sharing, Sally :D

Caster sugar is very fine sugar, very powdery but not as fine as icing sugar.
3:50 am
sprite

wow that is handy! Thanks, I think I can find it here as well.
3:51 am
Sally-catlover

The raspberries don't have to be frozen but I always have frozen in the freezer and actually I think they are nicer in this recipe.
3:51 am
herinfernallady

Caster Sugar is um let me see
3:51 am
sprite

ok, that might be what we call basterd suiker.
3:51 am
Sally-catlover

You can use greaseproof, but this paper is better for this recipe.
3:51 am
Sally-catlover

That sounds a bit rude sprite!
3:52 am
Sally-catlover

Sorry about mix of imperial and metric measurements :-)
3:52 am
herinfernallady

Sprite do you have Superfine Sugar?
3:53 am
sprite

lol yes, it does, doesn't it. Looked it up and yes, I can use this rude sugar for this recipe. Very fine but not as fine as icing sugar.
3:53 am
sprite

Sally, those I will look up on the internet, there are very handy tables for translating measures :)
3:54 am
Sally-catlover

I still measure in imperial, but I happen to have the hazelnuts in both to remind me to buy that size packet!
3:54 am
herinfernallady

Sprite it is a little different
3:54 am
sandyloo

have sent it and herin if you want it just email me , I don't have your email address
3:54 am
sprite

no I don't think we have that here, lady, but this sugar will do.
3:55 am
Sally-catlover

will look later sandy, thanks.
3:55 am
sandyloo

how fine do you chop the hazelnuts?? and do you then roast them?
3:55 am
herinfernallady

Actually no my bad. I can't spell. *thinks your spelling is better*
3:56 am
Sally-catlover

Oh I cheat. I can buy packs of chopped roast hazelnuts, which I do. Otherwise I suppose I would bake them then chop them but that's a bit too much like hard work.
3:56 am
sprite

:D
3:56 am
sandyloo

packets will do me
3:56 am
Sally-catlover

You could always leave out the nuts, but they are a nice addition.
3:57 am
sprite

we have a wonderful cheese/wine/nutshop here, that will have the perfect nuts for this.
4:00 am
herinfernallady

mmm cheese
4:00 am
Sally-catlover

Must dash for now for my haircut. Will be back later. Happy baking everyone.
4:01 am
sprite

thank you, Sally, and have a relaxed day :)
4:01 am
sprite

sandy, thank you for the recipe, I got it :)
4:01 am
herinfernallady

Take care Sally
4:04 am

I have no wine and it is wine o'clock - husband is bringing a bottle home for me -so I will go and feed horses now bbl
4:05 am

ok sandy, see you soon
4:07 am
herinfernallady

bye Sandy
4:08 am

need something to eat and must put a light on, it is dark as night here. Thunderstorm and rain as if it is october!
4:08 am

back in one minutde
4:11 am
rubyfoo

I keep missing everybody. I came on before, just after everybody left!
4:11 am
rubyfoo

At least because I wasn't blathering away, I got more than 100 words very fast!
4:11 am
herinfernallady

HI Ruby
4:12 am
sprite

back already! Hi rubyfoo.
4:13 am
herinfernallady

Ruby how is things:
4:13 am
rubyfoo

hi herin and sprite. Things are under control and I actually have a few minutes to myself.
4:14 am
sprite

that is very nice. Man and dog in custody?
4:14 am
rubyfoo

Husband feels well enough (marginally, I would say) to drive a little, so I guess that's a good sign or else it just shows how much he hates my driving! lol
4:15 am
sprite

lol... I think he likes being independent. Must have been a real shock for him to have been attacked.
4:15 am
rubyfoo

dog in custody and we've filed the criminal complaint so, hopefully, we'll be able to re-coup some of the expenses.
4:15 am
sprite

I really hope so, rubyfoo, the man should pay.
4:15 am
herinfernallady

HOpe so too Ruby.
4:16 am
rubyfoo

For a dog lover who is totally unafraid, the shock must have been incredible. Evidently, this was a rescue dog from the local SPA where the owner works. Really irresponsible to adopt a dog whose background is unknown and which is that large!
4:16 am
herinfernallady

o gods I don't know if I can watch this tv report so sad
4:17 am
rubyfoo

I have photos of the wounds (ghastly ones taken by the visiting nurse), so if anybody would like to see them (I doubt it!!), I can send them
4:17 am
sprite

even more irresponsible to walk away from the mess he caused.
4:17 am
rubyfoo

evidently the man of that family is a little bit crazy!
4:18 am
rubyfoo

what is wonderful is the cohesiveness and caring of the people in this little village!
4:18 am
sprite

don't look then, lady. You don't have to.
4:18 am
rubyfoo

what happened on TV herin?
4:18 am
herinfernallady

It is about Mental illness and how people fall through the cracks
4:19 am
sprite

you know, rubyfoo, what I was wondering? Whether you may end up with a little more contacts and friends in the village after all this.
4:20 am
rubyfoo

yes, you are right, sprite. So many of the people have come forward including a young woman who has just moved here (she was the one who walked husband home and whose husband took me to the hospital, following the ambulance) and will now be my new dentist.
4:21 am
sprite

nothing is ever so bad that nothing good will come from it... I wish it had not happened, but now that it has, I hope it will diminish your isolation!
4:21 am
rubyfoo

this is a very nice little village and we feel very much a part of the community, especially now. Everybody knows my husband, at least by sight, because of his 12 years of walking our beautiful dogs
4:22 am
rubyfoo

and although he is shy, he always greets everyone and the dogs have always been very polite
4:29 am
sandyloo

hi again, hi ruby, and herin that is a serious problem for society -they have closed so many mental health hospitals and leave it up to people to self medicate - just doesnt work
4:31 am
sandyloo

Ruby, those photos are terrible - he looks as though he could certainly use a skin graft- is the dog going to be put down?
4:35 am
herinfernallady

Sandy the 7pm show on channel 10 very good
4:36 am
herinfernallady

Think I need to raid the freezer
4:36 am
sandyloo

herin the trouble with those situations is that most of the time their families dont want them and they can't look after themselves and they become a danger to themselves and often to society
4:36 am
sandyloo

it is a tragedy
4:38 am
sprite

yes it is
4:38 am
herinfernallady

My friends family wanted him he didn't want him
4:39 am
lynxxx

It is appalling - and what happens when the 'family' ages/passes away, and becomes too old to care for them. I never understood why they closed everything. To cynical me it was just a grab at the money from the land sales as well
4:39 am
lynxxx

Hello all
4:40 am
sandyloo

Lynxx, you are soo right- there was one such hospital which overlooked the river - they closed it and now it is a fancy restaurant
4:40 am
sprite

sounds cynical but true, lyn, and hi
4:41 am
sprite

bad to the middle ages: no care for the mentally ill.
4:42 am
sandyloo

Exactly right Sprite- An 8 year old girl was savagely murdered by one such person in a shopping centre here about 3 years ago-what a terrible tragedy that was
4:43 am
sprite

*back, not bad, though it IS bad.
4:43 am
herinfernallady

Lynxx when they closed Kew Cottages it was total balls. Yes Kew Cottages was bad but if run better people could get better
4:45 am
sandyloo

A lot of the trouble lies with the fact that they leave these people to self medicate and they are not capable of doing so
4:45 am
herinfernallady

Hi Lynxx
4:46 am
sprite

I am mentally healthy and even for me it is tough to self-medicate really consistent when things are bad.
4:46 am
lynxxx

(or they think they are OK and don't need the medication because it makes them feel 'dull')
4:47 am
sandyloo

exactly
4:47 am
Haz1558

Apart from the cost issues, is there not also an element of the authorities reacting against many years when people were kept in mental institutions who didn't actually need to be there. I agree, things have swung too far in the other direction.
4:47 am
sprite

hello Haz
4:47 am
Haz1558

Good morning/evening all by the way.
4:48 am
Haz1558

We have the situation here where because of 'Human Rights' a demented old person, for example, may be offered his/her drugs, but they cannot be forced to take them. If they're demented, how do they know they need them?
4:48 am
sandyloo

I think there could be some system whereby they keeps strict tabs on them- Liberal or Labour - both parties have put it in 'the too hard basket'
4:49 am
sprite

that is sad, Haz
4:49 am
sandyloo

they 'talk the talk' but they don't 'walk the walk'
4:49 am
Haz1558

It seems to be a case of Human Rights trumping common sense with the vulnerable being worst affected.
4:50 am
sprite

the Human Rights should include the right to be taken care of when one is unable to do it oneself.
4:50 am
lynxxx

Hi Haz. Yes we had a few such instances who made the headlines in the 70s/80s...but talk about throwing the baby with the bath water - we just shut everything down. Of course with the promise to support the families - ! - some now go back to Britian to get the proper assistance!
4:50 am
sandyloo

which Haz, I think is the case in many incidents
4:50 am
sandyloo

instances
4:51 am
Haz1558

It's like everything else, balance and common sense is needed, but if it costs too much money?
4:51 am

Britain seems to have a very good system for the disabled

Everything comes down to money

4:52 am
herinfernallady

Hi Haz
4:52 am
sprite

we used to have very good care. Then they got the general medical insurance and now they are making it more expensive every year, cutting back on the things that are covered. Like a candle burning on both sides.
4:52 am
sprite

enjoy dinner, lyn!
4:52 am

Why do you think that I want to get into law with human rights

you goooo, girl... it is needed!
4:53 am

Herin, I hope you don't become disallusioned as a lot of people who start out with the best of intentions do
4:53 am
sandyloo

disillusioned
4:54 am
herinfernallady

Sandy I have been part of the system seen the damage
4:55 am
sandyloo

we really need people like that to help - my schoolteacher daughter in Broome is fast becoming disheartened with the system-
4:56 am
herinfernallady

That is because there is no support and teachers are treated like crap particulary by idiot dissullisoned parents taht think their kid is not a shit
4:56 am
sandyloo

she has tried so hard but is thwarted at every turn
4:56 am
sprite

fireflies. Bye all, have a nice evening/day.
4:56 am
Haz1558

Bye, sprite, well done.
4:56 am
sandyloo

very hard for the aboriginals in the North
4:57 am
sandyloo

the poor little kids are caught in the 'circle of life' which for the main part for them is sexual and physical abuse at the hands of their relations and no care for them
4:58 am
sandyloo

and of course it is the 'demon drink' that destroys the whole fibre of the family
4:58 am
Haz1558

Milk?
4:59 am
sandyloo

she is coming back to perth next year because she is so sick of it - which is a shame as she is a very caring person
4:59 am
sandyloo

so once again , the department loses a great teacher from an isolated community where they are most needed
5:00 am
Haz1558

But, if she's done all she can, and she's coming to the end of her tether, time for her to regroup and find somewhere where she can feel fulfilled.
5:00 am
herinfernallady

Sandy my b.f uncle ran a um not a road house but the other thing that has post office and such is it called a General store?
5:00 am
sandyloo

True of course, Haz, but I feel for those children -
5:01 am
Haz1558

I know, but one teacher can't expect to take on a lifestyle.
5:02 am
herinfernallady

Sandy is that what the outback towns have?
5:04 am
sandyloo

some do herin, but in Broome , it is a big tourist centre with very modern buildings and facilities in combination with a very poor aboriginal society
5:05 am
sandyloo

The children tend to solve every problem with violence and abusive language (its not their fault) and Diana has been physically threatened and has been robbed - it goes on and on
5:06 am
sandyloo

and I might add , the medical facilities are third world
5:07 am
sandyloo

There are very isolated communities where alcohol is forbidden and they are probably easier to teach at. However they are extremely isolated
5:08 am
sandyloo

looks like i am clogging the chogging
5:08 am
Haz1558

Probably the sort of place where you would either have to have a calling to stay there, or with a fixed term contract.
5:10 am
sandyloo

the education department gives teachers a 12 month contract or a permanent position if (like Di) they are permanent- she is looking to swap with someone from perth
5:10 am
herinfernallady

Sandy I mean like the little towns is that what the General Store is?
5:11 am
sandyloo

Indeed herin there are places like that that do have that type of general store
5:11 am
herinfernallady

Well B.fs uncle was one of teh smart owners that on Dole day would only hand over $50 max to the locals
5:20 am
sandyloo

When Kevin gave out the money incentive, many aborginal famies suddenly found themselves with over $10,000 cash in their hands- Broome bottle shops started closing their doors at 12 midday because that was where the money was going - he should have doled it out in food vouchers or clothing vouchers etc
5:20 am
sandyloo

the children suffered enormously over this
5:23 am
herinfernallady

That sort of situation is nuts.
5:23 am
herinfernallady

Rather the Rudd Gov than that useless git Abbot that did nothing for the Health System when he was the minister
5:24 am

the german band :-)
6:08 am
EspritdJean

funny word
6:08 am
rubyfoo

he is a little bit better but we have to worry about infection now. The owner of the dog came to our house this AM and said, "Please, don't file a criminal complaint or I'll have to go to prison for 4 months."
6:09 am
EspritdJean

wow that's pretty severe
6:09 am
sandyloo

OMG, What will you do? Sounds like you might have a chance for medical bills to get paid. is the dog going to be put down?
6:09 am
lynxxx

what an awful thing to decide on
6:09 am
rubyfoo

He is insured, so once his insurance company pays for the expenses (which will be enormous!), we certainly won't press charges. On the other hand, he doesn't want his dog put down. Fortunately, that is not up to us, but up to the authorities
6:09 am
Christine

Did the dog bite your husband?
6:10 am
EspritdJean

would your medical bills not get paid anyway?
6:10 am
rubyfoo

yes, Christine, severely enough to put him in the hospital and he has had 6 rabies shots so far. The dog is in custody
6:10 am
lynxxx

I think the dog must be put down
6:10 am
sandyloo

That dog is a lethal weapon and really is not to be trusted
6:10 am
rubyfoo

no, because we only have US insurance and would have to find a lawyer here to sue
6:11 am
EspritdJean

I see
6:11 am
rubyfoo

The mayor of our little village wants the dog put down, so I think I won't have to "pull the trigger" myself!
6:11 am
EspritdJean

was he not able to prove that the dog had been vaccinated for rabies?
6:12 am
sandyloo

Ruby, how did they find the dog?

I have ghastly photos of the woundws, if any body (doubtful) wants to see them. I needed them for the police and the nurse who comes every day, took the pix.
6:12 am

Rabies or not, the fact that the dog charged and attacked when not provoked means that every person including kids would be in danger
6:12 am
rubyfoo

They still keep it in custody because, evidently, rabies doesn't necessarily present immediately. In the US they kill the dog first and then perform autopsies.

6:14 am

Ruby let's hope common sense prevails here, and how did they find the dog?
6:14 am
rubyfoo

In addition, the hospitqal gave hime 5 doses of tetanus anti-toxin instead of 1, by mistake!!! And none of the hospital personnel, including doctors, washes his hands!!!!
6:14 am
EspritdJean

there was a leash, the owner dropped it, right ruby?
6:15 am
rubyfoo

The gendarmes went door-to-door
6:15 am

I dont see the post Chris

yes, jean
6:15 am
EspritdJean

WTH!!??
6:15 am
EspritdJean

how can that be possible ruby!?
6:15 am
rubyfoo

but the owner is an old man, too, and evidently, only his wife can control this rescue dog. She works at the SPA!
6:16 am
rubyfoo

very scary, he could have died from the tetanus shots!
6:16 am
sandyloo

Not controlling it well enough , obviously
6:16 am
rubyfoo

the ER doctor came fortha dn told me and also called our local doctor about the mistake with the tetanus shots.
6:16 am
herinfernallady

This dog was a rescue?
6:17 am
rubyfoo

yes, the owner works as a volunteer at SPA (like ASPCA in the US)
6:17 am

Sometimes I am gob smacked by medical incompetancy
6:17 am

and the idea that this brand-new hospital ran out of rabies vaccine since last Friday.... WTH?
6:18 am

yikes
6:18 am
EspritdJean

would think you were in a 3d world country!
6:18 am
rubyfoo

his name is Magique and the man was very sad that dog would have to be put down, wanted me to intervene! Huh????
6:18 am

that's because they pumped it all into your husband!
6:18 am
rubyfoo

hahah
6:19 am
EspritdJean

no, they pumped him full of the tetanus
6:19 am
rubyfoo

at least the neighbors brought fresh croissants this AM!
6:19 am
rubyfoo

and the ER doctor said "We've had a lot of dog bites this summer" and.....?
6:19 am
EspritdJean

so, not to be a ghoul, but I would look at the pictures
6:20 am
EspritdJean

just because I have seen a lot of these cases
6:20 am
rubyfoo

is your e-mail in your profile?
6:20 am

You have to think of a child that might lose its life at the hands of that dog! I feel that irresponsible owners are to blame but the safety of the community is the issue here
6:20 am

but they look a lot like raw meat and the blue-black part is his skin!

excuse me but what the F was the owner thinking Ruby. Those dogs need proper training and if it is a rescue more so. Ruby can you send it to me please at her _ infernal _ ladyship @yahoo DOT com
6:22 am
EspritdJean

with an attack like that, there would be no question of the dog's fate
6:23 am
rubyfoo

I love all of you, my ghoulish friends!!! Even the doctor was horrified by the photos!! fortunately, I'm not squeamish and there is a nurse to change the dressings. My husband is such a baby that when I give him a haircut, he keeps sayin Ouch!!!
6:23 am
EspritdJean

I have an unrelated question (and just being nosy, I guess)
6:23 am
sandyloo

and so it should be-I have no idea what motivates people to want a lethal weapon as a pet- our dogs bark and alert us, that is all we want
6:23 am

please, I certainly let it all hang out....
6:23 am
herinfernallady

Ruby I would like to tell my friend about this as she is a dog trainer
6:24 am

6:24 am
EspritdJean

the other day I saw some flap in the chog with Nancyboy and ata and JC what was that all about?
6:24 am
rubyfoo

the dog is a beauceron, pure or not, I'm not sure
6:24 am
rubyfoo

NB thought the dog shouldn't be put down and then he and ata were evidently arguing about an old boyfriend of his... I only caught the tail end
6:25 am
rubyfoo

I though JC was an old boyfriend.,....
6:25 am
EspritdJean

JC being the old bf? wasn't sure if they wre talked about "THE" JC :-)

I still haven't reached half, but this chog is more beneficial for me
6:29 am

Ruby, I think in this case the dog should be put down. I'm all for trying to rehabilitate animals, but the dog won't improve and is obviously a menace. I've no time for the lovey-dovey isn't everything in the animal kingdom all fluffy brigade.

it is one thing to take an unwanted (young) upppy, and raise it, but an unknown large adult dog with an unknown history? NOT!

hi featherbee, your surprise will be wonderful
6:34 am
rubyfoo

I can understand giving up the pups if your dog has a litter of 12, but why got get the dog neutered? But if a large, adult dog winds up at Animal Contro, there is probably a reason
6:35 am

Ruby have a look at my friends website. That is the sort of dogs she has and I think she would be pissed taht a dog like that would not be muzzled
6:36 am

Also it was a good thing someone was nearby to help him home, or he could have bled to death there.

O and I was thinking if it is a small town why doesn't someone talk to the Mayor (or what every you guys have) and have a discussion on getting your town more water friendly. You could then approach say Lowes and ask for a bulk discount in fixtures like toilets and shower heads

7:44 am
Riverdance

we had squirrels trying to chew through our gable end vents to get into our attic - every day I would come home from work and find wood chips on the landing - took me awhile to figure out where it was coming from
7:44 am
lynxxx

I heard about it in the morning news - awful
7:44 am
kje

7:45 am
Anniebrook

7:46 am

7:49 am
kje

i mean, prevacid and antibiuotics too - oops
7:49 am
JBV

hi Annie - we have a resident chipmunk, thankfully, only outside - best remedy to get rid of them is to remove food source - what are they eating in the garage?
7:49 am
Anniebrook

prepac is prevacid, biaxin and amoxillin in huge amounts
7:50 am
kje

ah, that must be in a prevpac? didn't know they were marketed together now
7:50 am
Riverdance

7:51 am
herinfernallady

HI JBV. Maybe the little critters like the warmth of the garage

good morning friends! speaking of gardeners....The kids and I decided to try to grow our own watermelons this year. I went big time too = didn't use seeds, got starts from the local garden center. The organic kind, in the peat pots and all. The vines took off, and we have been watching six baby melons grow with great interest. The other day it occurred to me, the vines must have been mislabelled, and we have several lovely.....canteloupe. which no one here enjoys. Fun!
8:20 am

8:31 am
Trifioso

God gifted me with this weird sewing ability to make crazy tiny stitches, and I sew the holes up and you will never know they were there. I don't know why I can do it, I just can. One of three weird talents I have
8:31 am
JBV

you're too young to know that stuff, Trif, = thought that went out with the darning egg (which I learned how to do from my mom)
8:32 am
kje

what are the other 2 talents (very curious now)
8:32 am
Trifioso

I am not that young, and I am also wicked good at darning.
8:32 am
JBV

we actually used to mend socks - going back a ways
8:33 am
rururocks

I'm wondering why Trif call her husband repair equipment?
8:34 am
Trifioso

my other two weird talents are: I can do weird voices and accents, and I can sing the words to Amazing Grace to ANY tune you can throw at me. the kids think this hilarious, and primo always throws weird screamo songs at me -- and I do it, every time. they roll laughing
8:35 am
kje

that is funny trif!
8:36 am
JBV

8:53 am
Dorens

hello ruby, sally, mr. bob, wht, annie,et al
8:54 am
rubyfoo

he's with the nurse now and is driving again. The worst problem now is to keep him from getting an infection because the wounds have to heal from underneath and therefore must be kept moist
8:54 am
Sally-catlover

How surprising ruby. Would have thought they should be kept dry (but I am not a nurse!)
8:54 am
NonoNanette

that sounds like improvement then. They do have him on antibiotics i hope
8:55 am
Anniebrook

ruby, glad he is being looked after.
8:55 am
rubyfoo

and the owner of the dog came to our house today, asking me to drop the complaint as he's afraid he'll be sent to prison for 4 months (that won't happen, this is France, and murderers go free LOL) but that the dog won't be put down.
8:55 am
rubyfoo

oh yes, lots
8:55 am

morning jellen!
8:55 am
Anniebrook

Jellen! How is Tim today?
8:55 am
Dorens

presumably the dog wasn't rabid, ruby?
8:55 am
NonoNanette

has he offered to pay expenses Ruby?
8:55 am
NonoNanette

hi Jellen
8:56 am
rubyfoo

there is too much of a hole, sally, and if it dries on top it could be worse....I'm no doctor!
8:56 am
Jellen

I am fine...Tim is pretty miserable, but I hope we can get some of his issues addressed today when we go to chemo...
8:56 am
rubyfoo

yes, he's already notified his insurance and we certainly don't want him to go to jail, but AFTER our expenses are paid and after the dog is put down, then I'll drop the complaint
8:57 am
Anniebrook

Jellen, I hope you do too. I pray for you both every night.
8:57 am
Dorens

best of luck jellen
8:57 am
Sally-catlover

Can he afford your expenses though ruby?
8:57 am
rubyfoo

I think about you and Tim every day, Jellen
8:57 am
rubyfoo

He is insured, sally.
8:57 am
NonoNanette

I dont blame you one bit Ruby. The charges are your trump card so to speak...... with them over his head we wont dare hold back
8:57 am
Jellen

That's a good thing, ruby!
8:58 am
Anniebrook

Then all your expenses should be covered.
8:58 am
Trifioso

isn't everyone in france insured?
8:58 am
rubyfoo

exactly.
8:58 am
rubyfoo

not us, unfortunately!
8:58 am
rubyfoo

he has a nice house in our sweet village
8:59 am
Anniebrook

what in heavens name was he doing with such a dangerous dog?
8:59 am
Sally-catlover

I'm amazed the police went from door to door until they found him and the dog. Can't see that happening here.
8:59 am
Trifioso

okay, nbt, more than halfway, and I need to go. I think this grid is going to be very hard to return to. I fear I will see nothing but "you have already entered" later....and I will you fine folks in the chog. Take care, everyone.

9:01 am
Jellen

Oh, lovely...I like singing
9:01 am
rubyfoo

that's what I realized and it couldn't be closed without a graft
9:01 am
JBV

will he continue to have the nurse or do you have to take over at some poitn?
9:01 am
rubyfoo

the nurse will come every day for 15 days and then every other day for 3 months!
9:02 am

9:03 am
Jellen

I don't blame you, ruby!
9:03 am
JBV

and thank goodness for our wonderful nurses who make a living at doing such things
9:03 am
rubyfoo

it's funny because he is very brave with the nurse!
9:04 am
Jellen

Men are like that...I'm the one who has to tell the nurses/doctor about any problems Tim is having!
9:04 am
NonoNanette

Men are like that I think, ruby. They tend to play off our sympathy for them
9:04 am
rubyfoo

I needed an adrenalin shot for an allerg y attack and he couldn't even stick me with that little needle. I had to do it myself!
9:05 am
Jellen

And I had to do Tim's interferon shots, because he wouldn't give them to himself...
9:06 am
rubyfoo

anyway, I think the worst is over and the neighbors have been wonderful. One woman came over yesterday with her grown son and daughter to tell me she knew about it and that she would pray to "Ste. Marie" for him!
9:06 am

9:26 am
Anniebrook

car. my mother had a cat come home after a month
9:26 am
Sally-catlover

car, we had a cat missing for 3 weeks and she was found 12 miles away. Found her through our local Cats Protection League. She was thin and welcoming:-)
9:27 am
NonoNanette

have you put up posters around the neighborhood?
9:28 am
NonoNanette

goodness 12 miles away, Sally! Did you ever figure out how she got so far
9:28 am
herinfernallady

I think my sisters cat went missing for an age. Damn thing just wandered back home
9:29 am
Sally-catlover

No, she just kept walking and turned up at the kitchen of a very good pub. (Discerning cat). One of the staff took her in and contacted HER local Cats Protection Leage, who contacted ours - we hadn't thought to look so far.
9:29 am
NonoNanette

My Kit was extremely then when she returned after 15 days but began to purr the moment I picked her up when I found her
9:29 am
NonoNanette

* thin
9:30 am
Sally-catlover

I had almost given up hope. It was worse than if she had died somehow, because I felt she had abandoned me.
9:31 am
NonoNanette

I know Sally and you worry about their well-being
9:32 am
Sally-catlover

She only had one eye and we hadn't long moved. She had been in and out for several weeks but was included to wander. I think she just wandered and got disorientated and lost :-(
9:32 am
Sally-catlover

She wouldn't leave my side when I got her home, even slept in the bedroom (which they are normally not allowed!)
9:33 am
NonoNanette

poor baby, I'm so glad she found a safe haven at the pub and was returned to her mama
9:33 am
car.eeyore

I am actually widening my area today and handing out more flyers. I am hesitant to have hope, as my outcomes generally are not so positive.
9:34 am
car.eeyore

It is just too hard.
9:34 am
Anniebrook

car. dont give up..someone will find her and return her to you
9:34 am
Sally-catlover

Have you asked at yoiur local vets, cat rescue places etc? We found cat rescues were sometimes bad about identifying a cat (this one had turned up there more than once and they had denied they had her!).
9:34 am
NonoNanette

keep up the faith Car and at the very least try to believe that Reilly has found someone that cares
9:35 am
NonoNanette

It is so very hard to lose a pet in any way. They truely are family members
9:37 am
NonoNanette

right now my Missy is avoiding me because she knows it's time for a flea treatment but normally she would be right at my side
9:37 am
car.eeyore

Thank you all for thinking of me and Reilly. I must be off now. Have a good day!

10:24 am
NonoNanette

I just had to buy a new mouse Judi, but I refuse to go wireless as the batteries just dont last
10:25 am
Nancy Boy

This whole phone is rebelling against me. One little incident that led to a tiny crack in the screen and the whole thing becomes about as useful as a chocolate fireguard...
10:25 am
Judi

I lurv my wireless mouse. Just got a wireless keyboard for the home puter too. Less wires is a good thing.

11:14 am
Deeha

I had a friend that only smoked on Non-smoking Day because she said if she did smoke she would resent being told not to!!
11:14 am
mymuseisme

no, weiik, I took 3 months to wean myself off cigarettes, got down to 2 cigarettes a day. When I decided to quit, I announced the day to friends and family and followed a version of the smokenders program that an acquaintance had told me about.
11:15 am
crosshair

when i quit in 2002,the players brand was $7.50 per pack.the wife and i quit same day.every day after that we would each put the money we normally would of spent on smokes into this large jar on top of the kitchen cupboard we left it for exactly 2 years then i rolled it and added it up.......

if it is a small child next time,it will be too late to second guess
12:43 pm

exactly
12:43 pm

that is really a pity. Is he physically regaining strength
12:43 pm

or a small woman
12:44 pm

husband is not that big (150 lbs) but he's very strong and the dog took him down to the pavement in a flash
12:44 pm
rubyfoo

I can't tell yet, but it is truly pathetic
12:45 pm
rubyfoo

and if you can believe this, the hospital ran out of rabies shots and made him wait 2 1/2 hrs yesterday to get his next ones as they had to go to the next big town , Chambery, for vaccine. And they called us! How stupid is that?
12:45 pm
bichon

Wow. A lot of insurance cos. in the US will not insure you if you have a certain breed of dog. And I bet, when they find out about the attack, they will drop him from their coverage if he doesn't put the dog down. And why, wasn't he wearing a muzzle
12:45 pm
Minveryork

Hi to my fellow babblers! How is everyone doing today
12:45 pm

tell your hubby to look at it with this mindset.because he was the one to get bit,he uncovered a threat to those smaller and less able than himself and he should be proud in that he has potentially protected others.try and get him to think of it in this light
12:46 pm

By the way, congratulations to all the finishers! YAY!
12:46 pm

Outside of being enraged by a dog owner's stupidity, we're fine
12:46 pm

I think the dog will be put down as he is a rescue dog and although the owner's wife works for the SPA, she must not have known the dog very well

always remember with big dogs that their heart is held in place in the ribcge unlike smaller dogs and if you grab both forepaws and shove one left and the other right with as much force as you can muster,you will often disable the dog..i know sounds yucky but make a wish and give it all you have
1:10 pm

it happened much to fast, I think. He punched at the dog's face, after it had bitten him and only succeeded in getting an additional puncture on his hand

I gave up on grid so here's a story of clues for you to zo 4/10 in on. Monkeys and I cl 5/14ed again today. They lo6/21 helping me.They tried to cl4/9 their way out of helping me again. They would break any la 4/8 to get out of helping me. They go lo 4/5 every time I send for them.They would rather play w/the co 5/12 bears in the trees. I finally let them go. They were so el5/10ed when I let them go.They were outta here fa 4/7er than a bolt of lightening. When they left I had to st 5/10 clues from this chat log. I gave up on grid at 198 words;not even cl5/12 to finishing. Then I did some shopping & spent some mo 5/12. I bought some co 4/6-co4/5, co4/5 slaw,ta4/5om powder,herbal te 4/4, and dishwa4/9er soap. I also bought some yarn for my lo4/5. I also bought a le5/12 so I will not lo4/4 dog.Then I bought a pair of mo4/6 at shoe store.The la4/4 thing I bought was a sh5/20 for the Winter.My hubby was se 6/21ing with anger when he saw all the shopping bags. He said I spent too much mo 6/24 and half the stuff I bought was a wa 5/18 of money.I told hubby that it was a mo 4/5 point because money was already spent.I also told him everything I bought was on sa4/4. However,I did make an oa4/5 to not spend so much money next time. Anyway, who is he to talk?Hubby wa6/30 money everyday when he buys a pack of cigarrettes. After our our spat,I did some outside work. I worked on my co 6/15st pile. Then I raked up the le 5/16 in yard.I broke a sw5/18 working outside in the he 4/5. I went swimming in my friend's pool to co4/5 off.I'm going to get out of this se4/4 and take a shower. Then I'll be back. I'll be here la 4/5 tonight so just hollar if you need some more clues. Good luck!

I'm watching the 2nd series of October Road, set in Massachusetts at the moment. I see it's in New England now, which explains the tree colours and the mass of fresh produce available in the local store.
10:22 pm
Good Enough

sounds much better than shark week
10:22 pm
dcseain

yes, New England has short Summers and long winters
10:23 pm
Jacula

I've heard that some partsof US have 'no access to fresh produce'. Surely that cannot be true?
10:23 pm
dcseain

i find that hard to believe, though i know in some regions it may yet be true in winter
10:23 pm
Good Enough

i mean how many times can you watch a shark attack a seal/person/person in a cage/albatross/more seals/etc
10:25 pm
Jacula

So, dcs, you would concur with me that many people just cannot either see or be bothered with fresh stuff if there's something either already cooked or can be microwaved? That appplies in UK in sme areas, too.

there's that, and some areas get so much snow that it's hard to get things in. Where my great-grandfather used to live in Western Md, the Postal Service delivired mail and groceries by helicopter once every two weeks from Nov to May due to the amts of snow. He let his dog out through, and took his mail and food in through the attic window in those months.
10:27 pm
Jillyjill

Well, it depends on the price..parts of alaska are remote enough to not get things in.
10:27 pm

so, limit to how much fresh produce one can use in that time frame.

I worry that the pre-prepared, shove it in the microwave generation might be the ones left when a huge disaster comes, and they won't have the nous (knowhow) to make a fire, cook stuff, know what is edible and what is not etc.

i had a roomate in the early 90s that didn't know how to heat leftover mashed potatos on a stovetop. we taught him, though he found it confusing.

I condone the ptotetion of our wildlife but do not agree with the Draconian attitudes of some of the wildlife protection agencies about how to tell them to bugger off. I wouldn't kill but would prefer to dter in some cases.

squirrels or any form of rodent are NOT fun to have in your attic or anywhere else in your home. They chew through your electrical wires etc., and could, potentially, burn your house down.

stid, put the moth balls in an old sock, tie a rope around the knoted end, and toss in the direction of the squirrels, that way when the moth balls dissolve, you pull it back and add more, they will try and push the sock out of the hole but tie it up so they can't
