2:04 am

flosey

hi ruby

2:05 am

rubyfoo

welcome v

2:05 am

flosey

how's hubby, ruby

2:07 am

rubyfoo

he's developed a pain in his back, probably from when the dog took him down, but is getting a scan today, so we'll see what's what. Meanwhile, he's cranky and depressed.... same old, same old

2:07 am

rubyfoo

and his 85th b-day is coming and he's not too happy about that!

2:08 am

flosey

ah, hope nothing too serious there, ruby - he doesn't need any more agony

2:08 am

rubyfoo

this is a nice grid!

2:08 am

flosey

yes, quite pleasant

2:08 am

rubyfoo

he is more affected by this whole thing than he cares to admit. And he's not used to having pain

2:09 am

flosey

do feel very sorry for his pain and anguish - but also feel for you having to suffer through it all

2:10 am

rubyfoo

it is, of course, much worse for him. I just have to slog through tons of paperwork, trying to get the court case organizaed.

2:11 am

flosey

2:11 am

Vmachine

2:14 am

rubyfoo

2:27 am

rubyfoo

2:28 am

rubyfoo

our old male, Rufus, however, was attacked twice for no reason (he was on a leash and the others weren't), and he took them both down lickety split (if you'll pardon the expression)

2:29 am

rubyfoo

2:29 am

rubyfoo

quite*

2:29 am

lynxxx

hi Sprite. Love the picture of Terra and her sleeping buddy

4:12 am

sprite

thanks lyn :) I am still in love with both.

4:13 am

rubyfoo

that is a great photo!

4:13 am

sprite

they are amazing together. Even more so when you know my love did NOT want a dog. And now they are so happy together.

4:14 am

lynxxx

he takes Terra canoeing more often than Sprite!

4:14 am

rubyfoo

that is too funny

4:14 am

rubyfoo

I'll bet he talks to Terra

4:14 am

rubyfoo

or does he sing? Does anybody else sing to their dogs?

4:15 am

sprite

lol yeah but that is because my body won't let me canoe more often. And yes he talks to Terra, and Terra never fails to make him feel better.

4:15 am

sprite

I sometimes do, rubyfoo, but Terra thinks it is utterly weird.

4:15 am

rubyfoo

I sing to Max when I bring him his dinner, always the same song, and he starts making yummy noises and drools

4:16 am

sprite

Pavlov Max

4:16 am

rubyfoo

4:24 am

sprite

I can use a bit of relaxing today. Got a phone call during dinner, was asked to give a sacred dance lesson 90 minutes later. It was a bit sudden, lol.

4:25 am

lynxxx

!! at least not much time to get nervous or anything, did you have fun?

4:26 am

sprite

yeah, I had a lot of fun and everybody was happy with the lesson, so all was well. I told them I will never prepare another lesson ever, grin, it went fine without any preparation ;)

4:27 am

lynxxx

marinate in chopped garlic, rosemary, and just a touch of olive oi a short while. Saute in mix of butter and olive oil with marinade till just pink and white.

hmmm.just found a shrimp creole... now..that..sounds appealing

8:30 am

carleekat

minus the rendered bacon fat

8:30 am

carleekat

i wonder of that will make a huge diff in the flavour???

8:34 am

EvaNadine

it probably will, but maybe add a little extra salt?

8:37 am

carleekat

wfish-and-Shrimp-Etouffe/Detail.aspx

8:37 am

carleekat

will make this with hushpuppies i think

8:38 am

carleekat

just..no crawfish..only shrimp

8:43 am

Kateq

you can add an anchovy in the beginning--let it melt into the oil/onion--it won't taste like anchovy--it will just add a layer of flavor which will be a good sub for the bacon

8:44 am

carleekat

thanks kate... but the etouffe is more to my kids flavour likings... they arents a big tomatoey ( sp?) pair

8:45 am

carleekat

as in chunks of tomato... but that is a good trick to keep in mind...if i could stand the smell of anchoies :)

8:46 am

Kateq

It's a good trick--and no one would guess there was anchovy there. I love 'em myself

8:46 am

carleekat

i cant get past the smell... i am good with most things but tere are a few things..that texture/ smell ruin it for me

8:47 am

Angelsong

hi, all. 52 words to go...

8:47 am

carleekat

i'd have to find someone who eats them... cus if i am using one... throwing out stinks up the garbage... and holding onto ..stinks up the fridge..i wonder..anchovy paste?????

8:47 am

Kateq

comes in a little tube and lasts forever

8:48 am

carleekat

i know... but i wonder if that would be an alternative????

8:48 am

Kateq

sure--just squeeze a little into the saute pan at the beginning.

8:48 am

there we go..problem solved :)

Heh. He's been inspired by Calvin of Calvin & Hobbes that he needed to invent a crazy game involving lots of running, multiple balls, flags, and... wearing masks. *shrug*

3:44 pm

sammysmom

3:44 pm

jmcnrick

goodness sammy right away!

3:44 pm

Vicuna

Earl Fray? He's a rather warlike nobleman, is he not?

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

3:45 pm

sammysmom

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

*gives sammy a mug of earl grey tea*

3:45 pm

Vicuna

No no no, jmc. There are all kinds of interesting yet still good sensible things to do. Like run around with balls, flags, and a mask, for example. Personally I think being rude and selfish is rather boring.

3:45 pm

jmcnrick

4:13 pm

I wish I had thought to put the umbrella down on the picnic table, but I'm not going out there now

4:13 pm

4:13 pm

stidgmere

Hello. I'm just starting the grid. Today is uniformly grey. The water, the sky, the air, the scenery, all painted in shades of grey.

4:14 pm

Vicuna

Hello, stidgmere. It's a long grid to just be starting.

4:14 pm

dcseain

that can be pretty, stidgmere -- late Fall and early Winter are like that here -- i love the foggy light drizzle of that time of year

4:14 pm

Vicuna

But lucky I am just ending, so I should be off. Goodbye, everyone.

4:15 pm

dcseain

congrats, and be well vicuna

4:15 pm

4:15 pm

4:15 pm

redturtlehead

I am almost half way which is probably where I shall have to stop, as work calls me.

4:16 pm

dcseain

hope you have a good shift, red

4:16 pm

dcseain

Tom had a 16h one the other night.

4:16 pm

JBV

bye red

4:18 pm

redturtlehead

WOw, I never do those, they make me nervous.

4:18 pm

dcseain

he was scheduled 12, then covered 4 more for someone

4:19 pm

redturtlehead

it is good money though.

4:20 pm

JBV

makes me nervous, too, red, knowing how tired some nurses (and doctors) are while on duty

4:20 pm

Jillyjill

I did a 12 Monday...still recovering!! lol..too much for us 50+ RNs!

4:21 pm

redturtlehead

some people do function well with those. I think 12s are enough at night for me, btu I'm getting up there myself!

4:21 pm

Jillyjill

The only reason they have the 12 hour shifts is that it requires less nurses. :(

4:22 pm

dcseain

his facility has some depts with 8h shifts, some with 12. ICU and Tele both are 12h depts.

4:22 pm

redturtlehead

I actually prefer it Jilly, I think I would go nuts if I knew I had to go to work 5 days a week. I would probably find some other job.

4:23 pm

redturtlehead

We do have a few 8 hr nurses, and they are always at work...

4:23 pm

Jillyjill

You'd hate my posted job: M-F 7-12 or 1...

4:23 pm

redturtlehead

I would hate it! though I am a fan of day shift in general!

4:24 pm

Jillyjill

do I add weekends and holidays off?

4:24 pm

redturtlehead

I don't really care that much about the weekend and holiday thing, admittendly, which is odd.

4:25 pm

redturtlehead

but I am on a wait list for days and the night shift is making me very very sleepy.

4:26 pm

dcseain

Tom works 4 on/10 off usually.

4:26 pm

dcseain

friday-monday must often. Sometimes friday-sunday plus tuesday.

4:26 pm

redturtlehead

thats a nice schedule. I do a nutty one for running. 2 on, 1-2 off, and one on...then...

4:29 pm

Jillyjill

I hated nights....I'm a morning person!!

4:29 pm

dcseain

Tom's always worked nights while a nurse -- even when in school

4:33 pm

Jillyjill

Well, must toddle off for chores and meeting...bbl. Am happy with nbt for now....

4:36 pm

7:04 pm

wht

Feather. If you never start, you will never finish. The beginning goes pretty quickly.

7:04 pm

Jacula

wht - it means glowing with white heat. You probably are more used to seeing it with 'in' before it and a slightly different ending.

7:05 pm

featherbee

lol wht. i've long ago given up worrying about finishing. i used to complete every puzzle. then life started to get in the way. i'll just do the fun part for now.

7:05 pm

7:07 pm

herinfernallady

why did I start this?

7:07 pm

featherbee

2 to 10 makes more sense, hours wise

7:07 pm

Jacula

Herin - because resistance is futile. LOL

drooling doesn't seem to be a good way to get a job....

7:13 pm

Jacula

Feather - I actually snorted when I read that. LOL!

7:13 pm

herinfernallady

Feather there was an Interviewer on tv talking about eating Breaky lunch and dinner with the best places in Melbourne on Chocolate shops

7:14 pm

herinfernallady

I am only half awake

7:15 pm

Jacula

I've got this vision of someone going for an interview to work in a chocolate factory and drooling all over the interviewer's desk.

7:15 pm

featherbee

sounds like a lucy episode, slightly twisted

7:15 pm

herinfernallady

Jac trust me working at a Choc factory is a brilliant way to cure Choc addiction. I plated up 600 pieces of choc cake I rarely eat choc cake now

7:16 pm

Jacula

As someone who lives not too far, and sometimes within smelling distance, of a famous chocolate factory, I can tell you that the workers get ha4'ened to the smell and often don't eat much of the stuff.

7:16 pm

Jacula

Herin - Ah, I see you know that already!

7:16 pm

herinfernallady

Does it smell yuck or just normal Jac?

7:17 pm

Boobear

clue for ad 5 please

7:17 pm

Jacula

It smells normal, like melted choc, but you just stop finding it appealing, Herin.

7:17 pm

Jacula

Boo - Spanish goodbye.

7:17 pm

Boobear

ok

7:17 pm

Jacula

7:18 pm

Jac I lived near a coffee roasting place. The coffee itself was horrid. But one winters morning the fog was thick and they were roasting I thought the fog tasted rather tasty of coffee

7:18 pm

Mom

good evening all

7:19 pm

Jacula

Herin - that's interesting.

7:19 pm

Jacula

Good evening Mom.

7:19 pm

Hi Mom

hi mom

7:19 pm

Mom

I am reading this conversation between Herin and Jacula and thinking of our son who lives between a brewery and a pickle factory :)

7:19 pm

herinfernallady

Jac you know its a not good coffee when you are actually told by a worker that ''it smells great doesn't taste that way''

7:19 pm

Mom

{{{Jacula, Herin and Feather}}} hello

7:20 pm

Jacula

I used to have to go past a bakery on my way to work. The smell of bread cooking used to make me feel so hungry, even though I'd just had breakfast.

7:20 pm

Jellen

Hello all...

7:20 pm

herinfernallady

Mom I used to stay in a house that was not even half a block from a beer company. That yeasty smell on a summers morning bad, in the arvo good reminds me of tasty beer

Hi Jellen

7:20 pm

featherbee

hi jellen

7:20 pm

herinfernallady

HI Jellen

Mom - that's not a good smell. Hops smell sickly and boiling vinegar makes your eyes water.

7:20 pm

Jacula

Hi Jellen.

7:20 pm

Boobear

Hi Mom

7:21 pm

Mom

Hi Boo

7:21 pm

Mom

No, I agree Jac

7:21 pm

herinfernallady

But beer and pickles is a good combinating

7:21 pm

Mom

yuck ... beer

7:21 pm

Jacula

Herin - true.

7:22 pm

wht

I used to live near a bread factory and every morning the air smelled like raisin toast. Pretty nice.

7:22 pm

Mom

Hi Wht

7:22 pm

herinfernallady

Mom true. But a beer in summer even I can't resist

7:22 pm

Mom

love the smell of baking bread

7:22 pm

herinfernallady

My friend lives near a big bread factory and one day the factory caught alight. Burnt toast was the smell of the day

7:23 pm

mamabear

hmmmm, beer and pickles.... you have an announcement, herin? LOL..... hi all!!!

7:23 pm

Mom

oh geez Herin

7:23 pm

Jacula

wht - that does sound nice, unless you're a pregnant lady with morning sickness. I, fortunately, didn't suffer from that either time. I had heartburn instead.

7:23 pm

wht

I was living in Pittsburgh at the time. It sure was better than the smell of the coal smoke from the steel mills.

7:23 pm

Jellen

Hi, mamabear

7:23 pm

featherbee

paper mills...that's a place you don't want to live near.

7:24 pm

7:24 pm

Mom

Hi Mamabear

7:24 pm

Sugar plants smell pretty bad, too.

7:24 pm

herinfernallady

I am abnormal enough as it is. I like Vegemite and Peanut butter together

7:25 pm

Mom

what is vegemite Herin?

7:25 pm

featherbee

down by my grandma's house in PA, the mill would smell awful sometimes. it reminded me of hot dogs gone bad. weird association, i know.

7:25 pm

7:25 pm

Jellen

Our worst smell around here is the mushroom farm...

7:26 pm

Jacula

Herin - thinking of toast smells. When we were on hol in Crete in basic self-catering apartments, and when the Greek say 'basic' they do MEAN basic, there was no means to make toast. However, my Other Half worked out a method of balancing a slice of bread over 3 forks over the electric ring on the 2-ring hob. Our apartment block was right next to another and you wouldn't believe how many Brits hung over the balcony of that one, as well as gravitated towards us from our own saying, 'I can smell TOAST!' It was very funny.

7:26 pm

featherbee

around my house, we sometimes get the methane gas smell of hte landfill

7:26 pm

Jacula

Jellen - well mushrooms love the dark and grow in sh*t.

7:26 pm

herinfernallady

Sorry Mom I have no idea how to describe it. Other than their new Cheesymite is disgusting and akin to licking a feral beer mat

7:27 pm

Jellen

Too true, Jac!

7:27 pm

Mom

Kraft makes it. But we don't have it over here

7:27 pm

Jacula

Hi mamabear and anyone else I've missed.

7:27 pm

herinfernallady

Jac toast is great

7:27 pm

herinfernallady

Mom no you don't I don't think you guys would get it.

featherbee

yep mom, a big one, carries lots of neat things

7:28 pm

mamabear

Had the smell of evergreen for 2 days in my apartment after they decided to power trim the hedges outside my windows... was nice, except for the headache the noise gave me.

7:28 pm

Mom

I don't think I could eat that

7:29 pm

Jacula

We are lucky in UK, we can get both Marmite and Vegemite. Bovril spread, too.

7:29 pm

Mom

maybe some day we will get a Wegman's

7:29 pm

featherbee

should i know the lower left i word?

7:29 pm

Mamabear - the evergreen oil would certainly have cleared your sinuses.

Jellen

It's a babblet, feather im 4/6

7:30 pm

Mom

7:30 pm

7:31 pm

rururocks

ANYONE have the last ma6/24?

7:31 pm

Congratulations Dorens

7:53 pm

Jacula

Dorens - I'm not trying to blame the USA for ridiculosities, I'm well aware the English launguage being the wonderful, growing mongrel pup that is it throws enough anomalies up in its home country, but I'm intrigued to learn more about it and why it develops as it does both here and elsewhere.

7:53 pm

Dorens

en en*s with the curved structure

7:53 pm

Jacula

Well done, Dorens, on finishing.

7:54 pm

I am only 68 behind Dorens

7:54 pm

rururocks

na 7?

7:54 pm

Dorens

yes jac, i have often wondered about the canning/tinning thing myself. used to do canning (made apple butter and chutney) and it never did make sense.

7:55 pm

wht

ty dorens

7:55 pm

Dorens

no na7

7:55 pm

hootowl

because it WAS canned originally and habit is habit!

7:55 pm

hootowl

hi all - you finally dragged me out of lurk!

7:55 pm

rururocks

there is a na 7 on lickety's list

7:55 pm

Jellen

Hi, hootowl

7:56 pm

Dorens

hootowl, you mean people actually put things in cans in their own homes?

7:56 pm

wht

e's erased

7:56 pm

Dorens

sorry you're right ruru. more unpleasant

7:56 pm

Mom

Hi Hootowl

7:56 pm

Jacula

Hi Hoot. Thanks for the info. How to you seal something in a can in a domestic environment? Welding or something? (Not being sarcastic, I promise. I really do want to know.)

7:56 pm

hootowl

don't think so but it was probably how it got to the stores

7:57 pm

rururocks

or really bad in the bedroom dorens..lol

7:57 pm

rururocks

tyvm

7:57 pm

hootowl

then Ball and Kerr came a;ong...

7:57 pm

Dorens

that too ru ;-)

7:58 pm

hootowl

I have 6 jars of relish/salad dresing in my closet right now

7:58 pm

Dorens

but once it became a home industry, why couldn't they have changed the name? i mean, it really isn't the same procedure!

7:58 pm

Jacula

na7 is much not nicer.

7:59 pm

hootowl

When I don't have time for a jam or preserve I make compote. Just boil fruit w/water & maybe a spice

7:59 pm

wht

g'g gone

7:59 pm

hootowl

habit, habit, habit

7:59 pm

Jacula

compote is lovely in yoghurt or on a sponge pudding, hoot.

8:00 pm

hootowl

Never gets that far here!:D cook, onto plate, whipped cream - gone

8:00 pm

Jacula

LOL Hoot.

8:01 pm

hootowl

well the idea is it's fast & easy and doesn't require lbs of fruit. Just enough for 2

8:01 pm

rururocks

8:02 pm

Jacula

Dorens - it's interesting to see you questioning a fellow countrywoman, with only 9 years' age difference between you about the canning thing. USA is huge, and I guess habits and customs also vary over the country?

8:02 pm

Jacula

Hoot - that question is for you, too.

8:03 pm

Dorens

well jac, i understand about it being canning when it goes into cans. i just wonder about when we do it at home, the procedure really isn't the same. then again, what do you folks call it .. jarring?

8:03 pm

Jacula

rur - did you just 'do a Peri'?

8:03 pm

rururocks

yes

8:03 pm

rururocks

twice today so far

8:03 pm

hootowl

I'm sure it is but I think most people, no matter where, used a Ball or Kerr recipe book in the beginning

8:03 pm

rururocks

reign

8:03 pm

Dorens

also, my mom was far too modern, a very good cook, but she never "canned" anything... i only learned about it when i was in my 30's

8:03 pm

rururocks

oh god

8:04 pm

Mom

thanks Ruru

8:04 pm

Dorens

yes, i always used ball jars.. but didn't understand why we were "canning"

8:04 pm

Mom

did God answer you?

8:04 pm

wht

ty ruru, but I have that already. I think there is some nice fruit compote in the PB

8:04 pm

Dorens

and god can't help you with problems like that ruru

8:04 pm

Jacula

Dorens - iit's called 'making jam' or 'preserving' (also applies to pickles, chutney etc.). If you are preserving whole fruits or whatever in syrup, then it's bottling.

8:04 pm

Dorens

preserving sounds like a much better word to me

8:05 pm

hootowl

nah - just canning. Never been questioned about it before thou. Just canned.

8:06 pm

Jacula

Hoot - has it made you wonder now, since you've been questioned?

8:06 pm

rururocks

sa7/36?

8:07 pm

Dorens

jac how is your ankle doing?

8:07 pm

hootowl

nope - at my age I ain't gonna change

8:07 pm

Dorens

a cancer ruru

8:07 pm

hootowl

I do know the diff between jams, jellies, etc. but it's all canning to me

8:08 pm

Dorens

and the one before it a strange inflammatory disease

8:08 pm

rururocks

that's one of them the other is related?

8:08 pm

Jacula

Dorens - it's improving by leaps and bounds - not that I can actually leap or bound yet ; still walking like a rocking horse. But it's getting better.

8:08 pm

wht

i's ic4

8:09 pm

Dorens

they're different. the first ends with the robot ending

8:09 pm

Jacula

Hoot - oh, okay. Just want to say that questioning everything keeps the brain alive.

8:09 pm

rururocks

thank you.

8:09 pm

Dorens

they share the first four letters, but i'm fairly certain they're actually unrelated

8:09 pm

rururocks

Oh I do - just not canning. Just have fun.

lynxx - when I asked him what time he'd be home when he unexpectedly got put on nights, he said, 'It doesn't matter, because you will have to be or get up to pander to me.' Have to say he ducked after he said that, since I had a wok in my hand at the time. My reply to him was of the 'go forth and multiply' Biblical kind.

No,lbd, it's just that, you've heard of a double egg cup right? Well that na5 bug requires a double toilet and no one wants to catch that bug even by association! Sorry, I just couldn't resist signing in again to say that. I got a bug like that 2 weeks before I was due to give birth to my 2nd child. The midwife was convinced I'd go into early labour and stayed with me. I didn't. In fact she had a lie in for 2 weeks after she was due. She still likes frequent naps now, at 23. LOL
