rubyfoo

4:17 am
periwinkle
Wow, great milestone, ruby!!
4:19 am
Sally-catlover

4:21 am
Sally-catlover

periwinkle

4:22 am
periwinkle

Waves to ruby's back.
4:27 am
Sally-catlover
Bye all.
4:27 am
rubyfoo
bruised her ankle. Which is better, ice or heat?
4:27 am
rubyfoo
I never remember
4:27 am
Sally-catlover
Ice, definitely. And elevate the ankle.
4:27 am
rubyfoo
thank you now real poof!
4:28 am
Sally-catlover
Only apply the ice for 20 minutes at a time.
4:28 am
Sally-catlover
*Doctor Sally now really gone*
4:32 am
herinfernallady
RICE: Rest Ice Compression Elevation.
4:41 am
rubyfoo
I just arranged my friend on the couch with an ice pack on her ankle,which is elevated, plenty of pillows, a blanket (it is cold and damp here today; Indian summer ended during the night), and a good book.
4:41 am
herinfernallady
opps
4:41 am
herinfernallady
Take the ice of every 20 min make sure it is an icepack. If it looks ugly take her to the doctors
4:42 am
rubyfoo
phantom: unguent
4:42 am
herinfernallady
My phantom is Dungeon
4:43 am
rubyfoo
or maybe sturgeon?
4:43 am
herinfernallady
Mine is definatly Dungeon
4:44 am
rubyfoo
how about agress
4:44 am
rubyfoo
I see more phantoms than words and far from NBT
4:44 am
herinfernallady
I like sturgeon
4:45 am
rubyfoo
especially the eggs!
4:45 am
herinfernallady
I had the best weekend
4:45 am
rubyfoo
what did you do?
4:46 am
gran
Is the total for today 85/1129
4:46 am
herinfernallady
I went to a thing at my g.fs. A Star of IShtar new moon gathering. it is a womens thing were we can talk and such. ANd then we had a bonfire and bbq at my g.fs farm
4:47 am
rubyfoo
that sounds really special, magical
4:48 am
herinfernallady
It was great. It may be a Pagan thing but it really is non religious and great for getting together with females if you have not money close friends
4:49 am
rubyfoo
that is what I miss here (one of the things); it is only one French friend at a time, no intimate groups like among English-speakers
4:50 am
rubyfoo
and the women are basically more formal or at least it seems that way
4:50 am
herinfernallady
Well it is nice. Complete strangers getting together and basically saying what we want. Like B.f frustrates me but the argument is as valid as arguing the grass is green
4:53 am
herinfernallady
Ruby is there a chat group at all that interests you? Like a craft thing
4:54 am
rubyfoo
my problem for groups like that (quilting, for exaMPLE), is that we are on a very early, un-French, schedule. And it would mean leaving my husband alone too much
4:54 am
rubyfoo
fortunately, I go to the movies once a month with a girlfriend
4:54 am
herinfernallady
Ok. Ruby that is good thougbh to get out
4:55 am
rubyfoo
and I have my online friends, many of whom are old (OLD) friends with whom I exchange e-mails very often
4:55 am
rubyfoo
and thank God for the dogs
4:56 am
rubyfoo
and Babble helps a lot because it is always here
4:56 am
herinfernallady
Dogs are great. ANd yes we are here too
4:57 am
rubyfoo
it is surprising what a difference it makes to have this group of virtual friends, ready with solace, advice, information -- basically a willingness to share good and bad
4:57 am
herinfernallady
Hugs
4:57 am
rubyfoo
{{herin}}
4:58 am
rubyfoo
and on my "bucket list" is going to Australia! hahah

herinfernallady

4:59 am
rubyfoo
( if those gg's were together, there would be a lot more words!)
4:59 am
rubyfoo
now I'll go remove the ice pack
4:59 am

Gurn is a wonderfully useful word. It covers all those silly faces you pull at one another. Gurning is actually a competition in Northern England and some of the faces are truly horrible with lips inside out and eyes in opposing positions etc - unbelievable. It's a perfect Babble word so why isn't it allowed?
5:03 am
herinfernallady
Hi Pab
5:03 am
Patxxx
Hi herin. Look up Gurning and Gurners, it must be on google.
5:04 am
herinfernallady
ok
5:08 am
Patxxx
Sorry to sound bossy herin, I tried typing your name in full but not up to it. Just got a bit excited at the absence of gurn and it's only Sunday morning here. Off for some cereal.
5:10 am
Patxxx
PS My son gurns when I try to kiss him in front of his mates!
5:12 am
herinfernallady
No problems. My cat just alerted me to the fact there was a baby huntsman behind me

5:44 am
varumba

5:46 am
Christine

5:46 am
herinfernallady
Hi lurker
5:46 am
Christine
Heck, I misspelled her name, again
5:46 am
varumba
i know i saw you earlier Christine.... but I am the only who gets a very tricky chat log?? I'm certain the posts had your name and icon on it, then it all changed to herin.......
5:46 am
varumba
which DOES sound weird, i admit....
5:47 am
varumba
nmmmmm.....obviously, could be my eyes that tricked me.... just soooooooo weird, lol
5:48 am
herinfernallady
O well
5:49 am

5:52 am
varumba

5:52 am
varumba

5:52 am
Christine
Verrrry odd --
5:53 am
Christine

6:12 am
Kaplan the Magne
Cake? What kind?
6:13 am
herinfernallady
I am missing a GR 7 dang it
6:13 am
varumba
gr7 = gr6 but add what we normally add for a comparative (although in this doesn't mean that, it means one who holds a gr6)
6:13 am
varumba

6:15 am

6:16 am
varumba
1 is built on the gr5 = fantaastic!
6:16 am
Kaplan the Magne
Oh, I found one. Work the lower right of the grid.

we went before the tribunal on Friday which was very hard for me as, of course, it was all in French and husband is deaf. Our lawyer was terrific, very well-prepared. The culprit (dog's dad) looked like a bum and argued with the judge about his own (signed) statement. The judge will make a decision about the criminal phase by the 19th

I'm sure she won't mind.
11:33 am
FMitch
Give mitten a cuddle for me :)
11:33 am
hurshy
yes but it doesn't have to be her, it's the general principle.
11:33 am
LeslieAnn
not from me, i'm probably headed out as well. nice work hursh!
11:33 am
hurshy
however, people probably have sympathy for a poor kitty who wants to cuddle.

11:36 am
FMitch
Look for the 'ing' word.
11:36 am
helensgirlkid
Irritating word - part of grammar recalled from grade school without joy.
11:37 am
Anniebrook
grammatically speaking when you use "ing" at the end of a word it is a ge 6
11:37 am
FMitch
Congrats helens, love it when suddenly they go off, usually followed by a sigh of relief :)
11:37 am
Anniebrook
relief definitely esp. without the list
11:38 am

11:46 am
helensgirlkid
That's what I was thinkihng of - but glad to know how it got into the chog in the first place!
11:47 am

Hi peri!

I love thrift stores.
12:31 pm
helensgirlkid
Wonderful - I wish all our thrift stores hadn't all had to move out to the "light industrial" areas - hard to get to on the bus, now - but closer in the rents were too high. The price of a boom (and then there's the bust - the other price of the boom!)
12:31 pm

was reading back on the thrift shoppes,we have a disturbing trend going on here.people who do not need these shops to keep clothes on their back or something other than a cardboard box for furniture,are hitting all the local shoppes one after another,grabbing all jeans and any thing made of leather and making quilts and custom leather clothing and selling them at flea markets the next month or in their own boutiques...seems wrong somehow... thoughts?
12:40 pm
cosdem
I do that sometimes.. I buy things and sell them on ebay
12:40 pm
crosshair
mm,must be me then
12:40 pm
cosdem
I dont have a lot of money. I live in a small apartment. Im unemployed. I need a way to make money.
12:41 pm
cosdem
I can see how you can see it as wrong if these people can afford not to do that.
12:41 pm
crosshair
anyhow,this grid is thumbing its nose at me...
12:41 pm
Jillyjill
I guess as long as they're not stealing them it's ok. After all, the really needy can't even afford the thrift shops.
12:41 pm
Jillyjill
Crossy, I have list posted on my profile
12:41 pm
crosshair
ty jilly
12:41 pm
FMitch
If the items have been dontated to the thrift shop then the homeless would not have access to them I guess.
I donate stuff to homeless or sheltered housing charities rather than the mainstream ones but do like to browse in a charity shop.
12:41 pm
Deeha
Depends - if it is a charity shop like ours we dont care who we sell to as it is money in the charities pocket. Our manager is pretty shrewd and knows her labels so the good stuff is suitable priced.
12:42 pm
crosshair
ahh ok deeha
12:42 pm
cosdem
I always donate my things to a local Church that does food banks and clothing banks. - They will go to the really needy.
12:43 pm
Deeha
We have a proboem here that the charities blitz an area with bags to ask for donations and people leave them outside to be collected - and the wrong people get there first, collect the bags and sell the stuff for thewir own profit. I think that is pretty low.
12:43 pm
crosshair
just watching some woman in a beemer outside of a salvation army thrift store cramming 80 pairs of jeans into the trunk catches one off guard,but like deeha says,it the proceeds go to the right place then all is well
12:44 pm
FMitch
I have to admit I have not found that sort of outlet here crossy although I am sure there must be churches that do that. *suddenly feels ignorant and will find out more*.
12:45 pm
FMitch
Oh Deeha - we have had that round here with Co's using illegally marked charity bags and exporting the clothes etc out of the UK.
12:46 pm
Deeha
I dont want to be racist but they are usually mid-Europeans doing it.
12:46 pm

urn yes, I too was trying to avoid that point.
12:46 pm

doesnt bother me,do not see many euros in these parts,so i have never met one i did not like lol
12:48 pm

No I havent either Cross but we do also get a lot of criminals amongth them. Did you here the joke - it took God six days to create the world but if he had used Polish builders he would have sone it in four'!!
12:48 pm
crosshair
had one guy in my station who was on vacation and live in germany somewhere
12:49 pm
helensgirlkid
We hjave a thing called Value Village - charities that used to collect clothes, small appliances, toys, etc., to sell in their thrift shops now send them to VV and get a cheque - the money for them isn't bad, I guess, and the volunteer requirement is much smaller (the boom really drained people out of volunteer positions), but the people who used to depend on the thrift shops can't afford to buy at VV - so I refuse to either give to them or shop there.
12:49 pm

Grew up with Poles and Czechs (then called Bohemians locally - or Bohunks) along with Italians and Irish - the Germans were the ones hardest to get along with as kids!
12:51 pm

Our Polish builders are usually bvrilliant. British builders come in at 9.30 and leave at 2.30 and take a lunch breakand tea breaks(I am generalising here!!) but the Polish ones are in at8 and leave at 6 and works really hard all day.
12:51 pm

if you watch a lot of movies, but dont GO to the movies, it is great, very quick service usually 2 day turnaroud mail them back on monday new ones by wed. what i like, is i bought myself a roku. a machine that will allow streaming without a dvd so i have that in my kitchen. there is not quite as large a selection as using the blu-ray downstairs, but while i am cooking , etc i can have something i like on. I live in my kitchen so it is great for me
2:55 pm

I think this calls for a potato salad challenge like on Food Network!
4:33 pm
flosey
lol, would be interesting to see how many varieties we'd come up with
4:34 pm
rururocks
the trick is in the potato cooking
4:34 pm
m9f9l
it's gotta have a little bite of onion.. some olives... chunks of hard boiled egg...
4:34 pm
flosey
yes, that does make a difference, ru, and the type of potato used
4:34 pm
rururocks
red onion
4:34 pm
rururocks
yukon creamers
4:34 pm
flosey
I like just the green tops of young onions
4:34 pm
m9f9l
the trick is in the type of potato too.. and the potato COOLING....
4:35 pm
Pinikula
or new reds!
4:35 pm
flosey
yes, yukons are good
4:35 pm
MollyL
Ah, a bunch of Miracle Whip haters. Personally, I like both MIracle Whip and Mayo. But Miracle Whip goes in egg salad, potato salad and any other salad, because it's salad dressing. Mayo goes on subs and sandwiches.
4:35 pm
rururocks
reds are good mixed in
4:35 pm
m9f9l
if it's a salad I'm not going to eat.....maybe...
4:35 pm
flosey
wouldn't have MW in the house
4:35 pm

The trick to potato salad is mixing the ingredients while the potatoes are still warm.
4:35 pm
m9f9l
reds and yukons are both good.

i have had cancer 3 times,am i know from my own personal experience that my natural inclination was to try and withdraw into myself and huddle in my pain and discomfort and try and shut people out because i did not wish the world to see me,like i was,ill in pain,and dependant for others for my every daily movements.my wife ,bless her,never let me go that to myself,she tried to keep every day as normal as it could be and to share her day with me and to pour her love into me..i would go to your father carlee he will be shamed,embarrased,ill,but in the end,he will be glad to see his girl i think...my 2 cents worth anyways
5:26 pm
carleekat
my mother wants me to do the same crossy....but my father and my stpe mother do not....its THEIR lives..its their partnerships its their ending..not mine

not saying it's the same for your dad, but if you go and he says no, then you've made the attempt. if you don't, you'll always wonder what might have happened if you'd just shown up
5:31 pm
EvaNadine
After he's gone, you're the one who has to live with things. You need to make whatever choice you can best live with...
5:31 pm

java2
We come into the world wrinkled and red, usually scrawny and somewhat squished. And people love us and cry happy tears, rejoicing at the happening. New-borns are usually not pretty, and are loved anyway. Keep talking to your dad, let him know how much you love him and how much you miss talking to him. Remind him that you have never cared how he looked because you always saw the man inside – and you still do. Tell him all that he has meant to you over your life – tell him stories you remember and how you felt when you were together. Tell him everything you want to – over the phone, in a letter (or email) – but tell it all. And tell him you love him, over and over. At the least, you will reinforce the love between you and maybe, just maybe, you'll reach out enough that he'll change his mind. But whatever, you will know that you have done your best to tell him and that will give you some peace. It can't be easy when you know you are dying and you want to save your loved ones from the pain, but pain shared is better for all. I pray that your dad will realize that.
5:33 pm
EvaNadine
Well, you know our opinons, carlee. But we will suppport you no matter what you decide.

I'll have to check this show out. I have to see hockey players figure skating. Too funny.
