1:24 am

flosey

g'night jilli

1:24 am

grannyrose

1:25 am

gortmold

i love a good heckling :)

1:25 am

flosey

yes, jilli

1:25 am

grannyrose

lol, it's ok....i think she wasn't used to going any deeper than skin deep...i made them think and work hard on those questions

1:26 am

gortmold

ata-girl granny

1:26 am

gortmold

so did you go the full monty and bare your soul?

1:27 am

grannyrose

made sure there was a severely depressed person in each group, and encouraged them to speak up...

1:27 am

gortmold

lol granny, how on earth did you do that... "put your hand up if you're severely depressed"??\

1:28 am

gortmold

"if you're depressed and you know it clap your hands..."

1:28 am

grannyrose

made a few eyes pop...lol....and then i threw a curly one at them...the DVD was set in a maze...and i asked what the significance of the maze was in the DVD

1:28 am

grannyrose

gort, i'm pastoral care co-ordinator...i know who they are.

1:29 am

gortmold

fair enough, then what happened?

1:31 am

grannyrose

well, that was when the heckler started...she was dying for a coffee...but the rest wanted to discuss the topic...so let her lie there and bleed...not reaslly, i did acknowledge her words, but moved onto what everyone else wanted to do

1:31 am

gortmold

sounds like you handled it well

1:32 am

jmcnrick

hi all

1:32 am

flosey

hi jmc

1:32 am

jmcnrick

granny are you talking about your sermon on gratitude?

1:32 am

gortmold

hey again jmc, getting the low-down on granny's sermon

1:33 am

grannyrose

i discussed that the maze was symbolic of life...shadowing our perceptions and blocking our view of what is good. the lookouts in the maze represented when a light goes on and you can actually see what is good

1:33 am

gortmold

oh hey there flos didn't see you there

1:33 am

grannyrose

hey jmc

1:33 am

gortmold

ooh apt analogy

1:33 am

flosey

hi gort

1:33 am

jmcnrick

wd granny i thought of you in Meeting for Worship today

1:34 am

grannyrose

thanx jmc, i survived..and no tar and feathers either *grin*

1:34 am

jmcnrick

a woman gave a message about gratitude today!

1:34 am

flosey

sounds like you had it well under control granny

1:35 am

grannyrose

well there you go...must be in the water, so to speak

1:35 am

jmcnrick

well it is way past my bedtime--just wanted to peek in before i collapsed

1:35 am

jmcnrick

goodnight all!

1:35 am

gortmold

nighty night then jmc

1:35 am

grannyrose

nite jmc, sleep well, hun

1:36 am

flosey

g'night jmc

1:38 am

gortmold

so in conclusion, God used your message for the betterment of its hearers?

1:39 am

grannyrose

yes, gort. quite a few said how much they enjoyed it, and how much they had learnt

1:40 am

gortmold

well swizzle my martini and marinate my feta, that's cause for celebration!

1:40 am

grannyrose

i tend to use my preaching time as teaching time, don't hand anything to them on a platter, they have to nut it out

1:41 am

gortmold

jolly good

1:41 am

grannyrose

*giggle* my last sermon was on "thanks" when i researched for it, i found seven different words for thanks in the bible..each very different

1:42 am

gortmold

what are they?

1:42 am

gortmold

learn me granny, learn me good

1:43 am

grannyrose

not fair... will have to look the actual words up again...but they are different ways of giving thanks.

1:43 am

gortmold

oh well you can give me the readers digest version

1:44 am

gortmold

or you can just put your feet up and have a breather if you want

1:45 am

gortmold

i gotta go brew up dinner for the assorted offspring and spouse, cheerio for now

1:45 am

grannyrose

well, you can thank in words/prayer, thank in song, thank in humility, on your knees, thank in music,

1:46 am

grannyrose

give thanks in dance, thank as a group and thank by doing any combo of them all

1:48 am

grannyrose

lol, and i must get off my soapbox and let others chat, thanx to all for allowing me the time and space. see you all at the flip...and no sermon, i promise

1:49 am

flosey

quite inspirational granny

1:52 am

mrpresident

flosey

2:05 am

mrpresident

2:05 am

flosey

mrpresident

2:05 am

flosey

2:06 am

mrpresident

2:07 am

flosey

2:07 am

mrpresident

2:07 am

clarkie14

2:08 am

flosey

2:08 am

flosey

but many of them talk things out

2:09 am

mrpresident

hitches? the chat is usually friendly, but hope they sort it

2:09 am

2:11 am

mrpresident

bloody better be!! adios to 2010... looking to the future

2:12 am

mrpresident

no bed for you flosey! it is new year holiday after all!

2:12 am

flosey

but of running around to do tomorrow, as well as bridge in the afternoon

2:13 am

flosey

**bit of

2:14 am

mrpresident

never played bridge! I really should get someone to teach me

2:14 am

flosey

it's a great game, had to learn when I married hubby - think he cut his teeth on a deck of cards - but we learned bridge together

2:16 am

mrpresident

there are social clubs around in country towns here... i haven't seen any in our area though

2:16 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

2:16 am

flosey

hello ruby

2:16 am

lynxxx

morning Ruby

2:16 am

rubyfoo

happy new year flosey!

2:16 am

rubyfoo

2:17 am

rubyfoo

I used to love bridge, but haven't played in more than 40 years

2:17 am

flosey

ty ruby, and to you

2:17 am

mrpresident

hi ruby! happy new year :)

2:17 am

rubyfoo

is everybody all recovered from the big weekend?

2:18 am

rubyfoo

hello mr. p and good riddance 2010! Let's hope this is a banner year for everybody, especially healthwise!!!

2:18 am

rubyfoo

and no more "teaser" q's hahah

2:18 am

flosey

you'll laugh ruby - we were in bed, exhausted, by 10:30 pm! on new year's eve

2:18 am

mrpresident

we can only look forward to it ruby!

2:19 am

rubyfoo

makes sense to me! husband was asleep by 11; I had to stay up to comfort dogs because of fireworks in the village and idiots tooting their car horns

2:20 am

flosey

well ruby, I guess we all did our share of in our younger years

2:20 am

mrpresident

we were outside until 1.30am with the kids having a water fight... it was very hot

2:21 am

rubyfoo

a water fight in the heat! unimaginable in this climate but a very nice image!

2:22 am

mrpresident

I heard that Europe was going through a hell winter

2:22 am

rubyfoo

my all-time best NYE was spent with one other couple, playing cards and eating...AFTER 1st husband and before 2nd (hahah)

2:22 am

rubyfoo

we are lucky in these mountains; we had a lot of snow, but it's all gone and the temps are slightly above normal. It almost feels like spring

2:23 am

mrpresident

how did you manage that ruby??

2:24 am

rubyfoo

just lucky, I guess. Also, living in the country, aside from being snowed in for two days, it is less of a big deal than living in a big city and having to go to work.

2:24 am

rubyfoo

Paris and London (and NY) were all terrible

2:25 am

mrpresident

I think I will be doing that when the kids move out!

2:25 am

rubyfoo

because of the lake, I think our climate is more temperate than some other parts of France

2:25 am

flosey

ruby, we played bridge quietly, with a couple of great friends when we were no longer up for an evening of dancing, but even that was over 15 years ago

2:26 am

rubyfoo

How far were you from the flooding, Mr. P?

2:26 am

mrpresident

the flooding is the size of France and Germany put together!!

2:26 am

rubyfoo

we played poker, hahah, but rarely get to dance any more

2:26 am

rubyfoo

playing bridge on New Year's sounds absolutely perfect!

2:27 am

mrpresident

we are south of the flooding, it has pretty much destroyed Queensland... and the flooding is as close as 400km away

2:27 am

rubyfoo

I had no idea it was so large, mr.p! That is astonishing

2:27 am

flosey

it was, quiet, and sometimes still didn't make it to midnight!

2:27 am

rubyfoo

we haven't had a newspaper since last week

2:27 am

mrpresident

if you go to www.smh.com.au

2:28 am

mrpresident

that will give you our news at the very least on the floods

2:28 am

flosey

I'm down to 16 words and starting to fade fast, will say goodnight all, be back sometime tomorrow to pick up these 16 words

2:28 am

herinfernallady

hello

2:28 am

mrpresident

bye bye flosey! lovely to see you darling

2:28 am

rubyfoo

I'm writing it down. My friend in Hervey Bay said that house iinsurance in Australia doesn't cover floods

2:28 am

mrpresident

happy new year infern! :) xox

2:28 am

herinfernallady

Back at you

2:29 am

rubyfoo

Happy New Year herin!!

2:29 am

scouser

Good morning Mr President and Happy New Year greetings from Liverpool. Those floods looked awful on the news. Our thoughts go to all the victims.

2:29 am

rubyfoo

sweet dreams fast-fading flosey!

2:29 am

mrpresident

it does cover floods, just not in flood prone areas

2:29 am

rubyfoo

hello to Liverpool!

2:29 am

herinfernallady

Ruby that depends on the company. Most insurance companies are not nice and do try to weasel out of claims

2:29 am

rubyfoo

that makes sense

2:30 am

mrpresident

hi scouser... happy new year to you! The flooding is only going to get worse over the next few days too. 22 shires are under water

2:30 am

herinfernallady

Hi Scouser

2:30 am

herinfernallady

I have a question please

2:31 am

rubyfoo

all ears.....

2:32 am

herinfernallady

Is it rude to ask someone to bring something to a dinner or lunch say like a desert then make them pay a fee for the food.

2:32 am

rubyfoo

I guess it depends on the intimacy of the friendship

2:32 am

mrpresident

yes infern.... if it is in your home... but if it is a planned party, that is fine

2:33 am

rubyfoo

if the ground rules are laid out in advance

2:33 am

herinfernallady

Ok let me rephrase.

2:33 am

mrpresident

i planned a party for my brother, asked people to pay for room hire ($5 each) and to bring a finger food dish... it was all on the invite

2:34 am

Ok let me restart my brain spaz

2:35 am

mrpresident

qu8?? don't see it!

2:36 am

herinfernallady

At Christmas we were invited to a family function. I asked if I was to supply a plate of something like desert. So I did. I made a fruit and cheese platter as requested. We spent about $50 and then were asked to pay $25 for the pair of us as a contribution to lunch. I think this is just rude as some people bought nothing. I understand $5 room fee and such and a small dish

2:37 am

rubyfoo

I agree with you, herin, that is not fair and somewhat deceptive

2:37 am

mrpresident

that is very rude infern... if you were not told, you were duped

2:38 am

mrpresident

I would have packed up my cheese platter for starters....

2:38 am

rubyfoo

how could they do that?

2:38 am

herinfernallady

In the past we had paid but we didn't bring anything. I think it is rude to ask.

2:39 am

rubyfoo

I do, too. Did they expect to make a profit?

2:39 am

herinfernallady

then make someone pay. I am of the mind to say next Christmas stuff everyone and spend a fortune at a nice hotel and pig out

2:39 am

rubyfoo

into

2:39 am

rubyfoo

whoops, having herin's cheese in the PB!

2:39 am

scouser

que8 I think has something to do with oak trees

2:39 am

mrpresident

don't bring anything again... did you offer to bring food? or did they ask you to

2:40 am

herinfernallady

I said to a friend that I would rather work at a Christmas lunch kitchen and be appreciated. I said would you like me to bring something.

2:40 am

herinfernallady

I tend to try and bring a house gift

2:40 am

rubyfoo

that is just rude rude rude!

2:40 am

rubyfoo

your idea for next year sounds grand!

2:41 am

rubyfoo

BTW, herin, you are almost in the grid -- phantom herin

2:41 am

herinfernallady

I would rather donate my time and help a needy cause and be appricated. As for the QU 8 looking now

2:42 am

mrpresident

found two with that ruby

2:42 am

scouser

qu8 word has similar form to the hi7/36 word

2:43 am

herinfernallady

Scouser do you have a kitty?

2:43 am

rubyfoo

I did, too, mrp. Do I have to go to the PB again?

2:43 am

mrpresident

aircon should so be a word!

2:44 am

mrpresident

no ruby! it was a good find

2:44 am

rubyfoo

we have a little brown fluffy mouse living in the sunflower seed bag in the garage. Husband is afraid of it, but it's very cute and I will not set a trap!

2:44 am

scouser

Yes herin: a large one a scaredy-cat agoraphobic - but no matter as I live in an upstairs flat.

2:44 am

herinfernallady

Awww.

2:45 am

mrpresident

little fluffy mice = huge deadly venomous snakes here :)

2:45 am

herinfernallady

We took our cats outside on their leads today. They loved it

2:45 am

rubyfoo

that is so cute, herin

2:45 am

rubyfoo

do you have a photo?

2:46 am

rubyfoo

our only bad snakes are little vipers, not so cute!

2:46 am

herinfernallady

Some were Ruby but I don't think onhere

2:47 am

rubyfoo

what kind of snakes, mrp? Were they a nasty problem in the flooding?

2:48 am

mrpresident

yep... all the snakes are trying to find high ground

2:48 am

rubyfoo

that is a very scary idea

2:49 am

rubyfoo

I still don't have the hi7 or the que8!

2:52 am

herinfernallady

Thanks got it too

2:52 am

rubyfoo

and the hi! yay

2:52 am

scouser

any clues for qu7/36 please?

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I had better get dressed now

2:52 am

mrpresident

plural of qu6

2:53 am

scouser

sorry I mean qu7/40

2:53 am

rubyfoo

qu7, like 5 + vowel, then plural

2:53 am

rubyfoo

first vowel

2:58 am

scouser

Thanks ruby and mr p

2:59 am

herinfernallady

Ok I am going for a while. Take care everyone

3:00 am

scouser

What are the customs regarding the penalty box? I fell into it a couple of days ago. I presume I am allowed out now?

3:00 am

mrpresident

bye infern

3:00 am

mrpresident

scouser, you go in... you provide goodies... you get out after jumping in the hot tub.

3:01 am

scouser

Hmm...... no hot tubs in top-floor flats! Box of biccies here though.

3:02 am

mrpresident

if you find mamabear in the hot tub... you will wanna stay for a few days!

3:02 am

mrpresident

didn't you know about the hot tub in the PB??

3:03 am

scouser

no - I am only new to Babble's chatterbox. Babble is just wonderfully addictive. I love it and Scrabble equally though Babble beats everything hands down on the computer.

3:04 am

mrpresident

next time you are in the PB, find the hot tub and pour some champagne... people will join

3:07 am

scouser

OK, thanks. meanwhile, on with the words.

3:14 am

mrpresident

ah, the japanese car is back

3:45 am

Patxxx

ONE AGAIN, MAY i APOLOGISE FOR MY CAT WHO WAS RUNNING ABOUT ON THE KEYBOARD . Please send her to the sinbin, she's being horrid today.

3:46 am

Patxxx

The cat didn't put the letters in but she somehow managed to move the cursor over. Is it a funny time for cats as the other cat, who usually likes me is also not speaking to me?

3:47 am

Patxxx

The keyboard cat looks exactly like scouser!

3:48 am

rubyfoo

on hold with nespresso

3:55 am

Patxxx

I remember when I first joined Babble that anyone was welcome in the Chat Log but not anymore. I have noticed how you freeze out those you do not want to join in. Don't worry I very very rarely come on to chat and then only for a minute so you can resume your 'so very private conversations'

3:56 am

FMitch

Morning Pat, if you look at the time on the right hand side of the chat log you will se it was quiet for 1/2 an hour before you came in.

3:57 am

Patxxx

I know bout the quiet periods and I have also noticed how some people are frozen out, which will upset some people. I'm bulletproof!

3:58 am

Patxxx

here

3:58 am

FMitch

lol good for you.

3:59 am

lynxxx

Morning UK. It has changed this last year Pat - there is simply not as much chat - I know I feel less inclined to chat as some people are unwelcoming

3:59 am

Flask1

Morning all.....and I agree with Pat entirely.......am very often a victim of it!!

3:59 am

FMitch

Evening Lynxx and morning Flask.

4:00 am

Patxxx

Iron Sudoku wouldn't even answer a query about the game, not chat.

4:00 am

Flask1

I need to get myself a bullet-proof jacket!

4:01 am

FMitch

da4, 10am already. I must be away. Back later.

4:01 am

hydra

Morning.

4:02 am

Flask1

bye Mitch!

4:02 am

lynxxx

bye FM

4:02 am

lynxxx

hi Hydra HNY

4:02 am

Patxxx

I'm rarely deliberately rude and I do care about people in trouble but I acept we are all different.

4:02 am

Flask1

morning Hydra!

4:02 am

hydra

HNY to you, too, lynxxx!

4:03 am

hydra

Hello Pat. I got in a nasty situation through the chat log, so I didn't come on for a while. But I'm back now.

4:03 am

hydra

Scouser, you still there?

4:04 am

Flask1

Its very easy to get into trouble on here......and justlike Hydra....I disappear now and again.....

4:04 am

Flask1

its the easiest way to deal with it!!

4:05 am

hydra

When it happens for the first time, it is really upsetting. Like you, I just disappeared and babbled with the chog hidden.

4:06 am

Patxxx

I play Babble every day, right through the day and have done for years. Love it but I don't get time to chat as well and often can't get back to finish the grid.

4:06 am

hydra

I think Pat has the right attitude. I am not a rude person and always try to be polite, but some folks are really snippy.

4:06 am

hydra

Well then, it's very nice to meet you here, Pat.

4:08 am

Flask1

However, some people need you to be rude to them......cos' they are so full of their own importance, and nee to be brought down a peg or two!

4:09 am

Patxxx

Thank Hydra and Flash. Nice to hear from you and it might give some confidence to some of the quiet ones to now that there are all types of folk here. Mostly nice.

4:10 am

hydra

I can vouch for scouser. She is my oldest friend in the whole world.

4:11 am

hydra

However, I think she has left us now!

4:12 am

Patxxx

I have to put some slap on now and go visiting. Be back babbling as soon as I get in again. Can't resist. Scouser's cat looks exactly like my keyboard cat, who even now is glaring at me because she wants to play on it. When I turn off I have to turn it upsidedown and cover it. Bye for now,

4:12 am

hydra

Have a lovely day, Pat. You can see my cat in my icon.

4:12 am

Flask1

Bye Pat!

4:12 am

lynxxx

bye Pat

4:13 am

hydra

I shall be back later, too. Happy Babbling!

4:13 am

Flask1

see ya Hydra!

4:22 am

rubyfoo

very happy! I just fixed the coffee machine with telephone instructions -- in French! yay

4:22 am

rubyfoo

I thought it was dying

4:23 am

lynxxx

well done Ruby

4:23 am

rubyfoo

ty lynxx! I thought we needed a new machine; we drink A LOT of coffee

4:24 am

rubyfoo

it is so hard to get anything done here; we have been almost 5 weeks without cable TV

4:32 am

rubyfoo

{{lynxx}} haven't reached half but nbt at least!

4:33 am

lynxxx

Good girl...sorry was concentrating on getting down to 40

4:34 am

scouser

Well done rubyfoo. Hydra: see you later too when you log back on. And Hallo to Flask up there in border-land. I have friends who live in the debatable-land at Gretna and one who was at Tundergarth (not sure if she has moved now).

4:38 am

scouser

And Patxxx welcome back. AS a newcome, I have found the multi-input nature of the chatlog can make it look as if people are being rude: but really it is just the intermix of several conversations. It's like knitting.

4:39 am

lynxxx

and there is my 40...bye Ruby & Scouser

Morning, scouser. I should be working...

5:18 am

Sally-catlover

Hallo scouser, haven't seen you before in the chat log I think, but my times on here are a bit varied atm.

5:18 am

redturtlehead

and me. I am a sauna pant person...

5:18 am

scouser

Hmm ...... I have lost my voice and the o2 transmitter locally for the phone is on the blink so I am incommunicado except e-mail and this.

5:19 am

hydra

That conjures up strange images, red! All I wear in the sauna is a towel.

5:19 am

hydra

Thanks for telling me, scouser. I shan't ring you then!

5:19 am

redturtlehead

see my Ic** hydra for some worse images!!!

5:20 am

5:20 am

redturtlehead

OK I am off. see you all later much later!

5:20 am

hydra

Oh, OH! I need some, red! The thighs could do with shrinking a size.

5:21 am

scouser

Well Hydra you could ring me on the landline and I could croak simple replies - make a change from the usual large chunks of advice ! But I don't want to move from this comfy chair to the landline. Later.

5:22 am

hydra

Yes, later. And email will do just as well. Defo not going ahead with that flat. Will go and see other one, as yo suggested. Sorry for the private conversation, folks!

5:23 am

hydra

75 words left. Sally, scouser, how many do you have?

5:24 am

Sally-catlover

I have 30 - but haven't been on long. I don't usually chat until I'm half way, or have 100, or something, but just felt like it today.

5:24 am

scouser

I got 25. searching for the st- words at the min. It's these little ones that are the n*******

5:25 am

Sally-catlover

Should say, I /have/ 30, 139 left - not the other way round.

5:25 am

scouser

I meant I got 25 left to do.

5:25 am

hydra

I have all the st's, so if you need a clue...

5:27 am

scouser

I got one animal one vapour one hole and two porches. What is left?

5:27 am

hydra

Has anyone got a clue for the AS7, please?

5:28 am

scouser

wonky look

5:28 am

hydra

Thanks. Got it. Didn't know that was a word.

5:29 am

scouser

what about the st- ones?

5:29 am

hydra

There is a preponderance of black and white creatures here at the mo!

5:29 am

hydra

Do you have any at all, scouser?

5:30 am

hydra

There's a male deer, something you walk up, something that comes out of a kettle...

5:31 am

scouser

Hydra: Got those: see below re animal etc. there are two missing still.

5:32 am

lil*monkey

morning all! I have 7 STs... how many are there?

5:32 am

hydra

Do you have the Greek colonnaded walk?

5:32 am

hydra

There are 8, lilmonkey.

5:33 am

lil*monkey

OK thanks, hydra... and YES i have the greek colonnaded walk

5:33 am

scouser

Hydra: yes I do that's the porches. Just one to go now.

5:33 am

hydra

And the walk's plural. And the final st5/10 is a small opening or bodily aperture.

5:33 am

lil*monkey

yes i have both of those too

5:34 am

lil*monkey

hmm what am i missing

5:34 am

hydra

The 5/14 is a tricky one. It's the male deer with an added vowel.

5:34 am

lil*monkey

have that one

5:35 am

scouser

Hydra: the walk up cannot be plural only one s. Got the aperture. Aha: the scots are in on it. got them all now.

5:35 am

lil*monkey

i must be missing a fish

5:36 am

hydra

lil, it's st4/6, st5/14, 5/10,5/12, 4/4, 5/10, 5/10 and 5/12, if that helps.

5:36 am

hydra

scouser, it's pluralised in the Greek way.

5:36 am

lil*monkey

got it! it was the other st5,10 that ends with a vowel

5:36 am

hydra

Sorry, not the walk up, the porch.

5:36 am

lil*monkey

thanks hydra

5:37 am

hydra

They're always tricky, monkey!

5:37 am

lil*monkey

scouser, the porch ends with a vowel, and the next one ends with a different vowel

5:37 am

smaandmea

Morning all. Great clueing going on! Stumped on as7,40 pls

5:38 am

hydra

scouser gave a great clue for that at 5.28

5:39 am

lil*monkey

what does wonky mean?

5:39 am

hydra

askew. Putting it another way, it's the 5/16 with a consonant prefix.

5:39 am

smaandmea

Ah - will look with that in mind

5:40 am

hydra

Must go now. Faced with all those co words, I'm going to start work! Laters. *poof*

5:40 am

lil*monkey

OK thanks

5:40 am

scouser

wonky must be a north-of-England word.

5:40 am

smaandmea

For me this morning wonky = thick!

5:41 am

scouser

Hydra: you will need to be some of the longer co- words in order to acquire some of the smaller co- words. Byee

5:44 am

smaandmea

it's a no for the as7 for me. will return later!

5:45 am

scouser

smaandmea : try peering at the word

Yep, my son and his wife found their cat after she was missing 23 days. They are VERY happy.

7:08 am

Kazzer99

7:08 am

lil*monkey

i was very picky about the fabric... i wanted it to be hawaiian shirts that are actually from Hawaii. One of the shirts I used was my father's

7:08 am

car.eeyore

Oh lil*monkey! How cooooooooolllllll!

7:09 am

lil*monkey

did the cat send postcards? lol

I loved "The Lost Symbol". I've read it three times. Can't wait for the movie.

7:27 am

carleekat

it was typical dan brown..a roller coaster....

7:28 am

carleekat

i read 6 books in 4 days...( no net...over the holidays)

7:28 am

MollyL

Once I start his books, it is very hard for me to put them down. I remember being up until 3AM reading "The Davinci Code".

7:28 am

car.eeyore

Me too! I think that is why I don't read more...I start a book and can't put it down!

7:29 am

carleekat

i like his rollercoaster but i wish he did more character development...

7:29 am

carleekat

i did all of my daughters vapire diaries ( all 4), the lost symbol and hush hush...another of my daughter's books...

7:30 am

carleekat

not that that says much... but keeping track of all the diff characters....a bit of a whirlwind

7:31 am

Kazzer99

Hi Kallia and thanx!

Hi to Bichon and thanx to you too!

9:02 am

Trifioso

ugh - "right" is such a phantom today! anything with the phoneme, actually - might, sight, tight, etc

9:03 am

Kallia

anyone know what the 10 starts with please?

9:03 am

Kazzer99

in

9:04 am

Kallia

thanks Kaz...will go search

9:04 am

crosshair

phantom "hostage"

9:04 am

Trifioso

oh, good one crossy! excellent

9:05 am

Kazzer99

it means not being able to speak clearly - with rage or drunkeness

9:05 am

Kallia

coherent

9:05 am

crosshair

lol ty trif;)

9:06 am

Kallia

flip....lol

9:06 am

Kazzer99

oops Kallia off to the PB

9:06 am

crosshair

very nice kallia

9:06 am

Trifioso

dammit kallia!

9:06 am

crosshair

but i do not like grids where all the great words are phantoms

9:06 am

Kallia

yep. what's in there?

9:07 am

crosshair

means the thing is full of babblets

9:07 am

Trifioso

too many i's for me....I have really come to dread that letter

9:08 am

Trifioso

oh, crossy, btw - would it be okay for me to ask you yet another handyman question?

9:08 am

crosshair

whenever i get stuck,i look for words that start with vowels,cause that seems to be what i always miss

9:08 am

crosshair

fire away trif

9:09 am

MollyL

Trif, you did start with your "always missed word" today right? Because it's a go.

9:09 am

Trifioso

I think I need to put some sort of stuff around the edges of my front door, and definitely the door to the garage. weatherstripping, I think it is called.

9:09 am

Trifioso

Molly! You are the sweetest thing! I did remember to enter it, yes, thank you!

9:09 am

crosshair

it is indeed

9:10 am

crosshair

many hardware stores sell good weatherstripping

9:10 am

crosshair

you can get "soft" or hard stripping

9:10 am

Trifioso

anyway, the door to the garage is metal, and so is the frame, so how do I put it on there? I think adhesive woudl just fall off, right? is this something you staple on, or what?

9:11 am

crosshair

not staples,for metal on metal aplications,they sell stripping with a thin metal spine attached to it and you just use self tapping metal screws to apply it

9:12 am

Trifioso

hmm. so it is up there forever then? not some seasonal thing I have to take on and off?

9:12 am

EvaNadine

trif -- if you only need it on the bottom of the door, i highly recommend the Twin Draft Guard. we have them in our house, and they work great! nothing to attach to the door. (i also had a metal door and had issues with the weatherstripping)

9:12 am

crosshair

measure you door and give those dimentions to the hardware store guy and tell them where you wish to apply it

9:12 am

crosshair

why take it off?

9:12 am

Trifioso

I was wondering about those, eva.

9:13 am

EvaNadine

they can be a little annoying, as sometimes they move (since they arent attached to the door) and you have to readjust them to shut the door... but overall, we have found them invaluable.

9:13 am

Trifioso

thanks crossy. there is a new, smaller hardware store the next town over, and the manager is a PET - so eager to advise, and I would love to get to know them and give them as much business as possible, rather than just visit the huge orange store

9:13 am

crosshair

no need to take of weatherstripping once applied

9:14 am

crosshair

a good hardware store guy can be a great friend indeed

9:14 am

Trifioso

you have to readjust them every time, eva? that sounds like a big pain actually

9:14 am

EvaNadine

not every time, no. just occasionally.

9:15 am

EvaNadine

a little nudge with the foot is all it takes.

9:15 am

crosshair

i put new weather stripping on once every 3-4 years

9:15 am

crosshair

around entry door and patio doors

9:15 am

Trifioso

occasionally I could live with. There is a HUGE gap between the bottom of the garage door and the floor of the kitchen, and I have one of those draft dog things there, but the real dogs keep stealing it to chew on....

9:15 am

welki

but they only address drafts at the bottom of doors ... not the drafts around the edges (or the garage)

9:15 am

Trifioso

why so often crossy? does it wear out?

9:16 am

crosshair

trif,for large bottom door gaps there is a weather stripping for that as well it is a kick plate with a rubber edging

9:16 am

EvaNadine

i tried the weather stripping crossy was talking about, but once attached to the bottom of my door, it wasnt long enough to fill the entire gap.
thankfully, under the door was our only issue.

9:16 am

crosshair

up here it does trif

9:17 am

welki

it compresses over time, trif

9:17 am

crosshair

it can indeed

9:17 am

Trifioso

sigh. the thrills of home ownership never end, do they? it's funny, I didn't realize how much I didn't know until I was left in charge of all it, suddenly

9:18 am

Trifioso

To be fair, if I suddenly vanished from the earth and mr hate had to take on all I did (ahem - rear the children) he would be in the same predicament

9:18 am

crosshair

and if the bottom gap is huge,remove the door and shim the bottom out with 1x2 strips till the gap is no more that 1/2 inch

9:18 am

Trifioso

its a metal door, crossy, so I wouldn't know how. I think I would go at it with my glue gun and make bob vila weep

9:19 am

Flask1

clue for oc7/32 please?

9:19 am

crosshair

so if it is metal,it is a fire rated door,and is of no use with a monster gap on the bottom

9:20 am

crosshair

they have 2 part epoxy,s that will stick anything to anything else lol

9:20 am

Trifioso

the mega millions jackpot was HUGE last week - something like 242 million, so I bought a ticket, for the second time in my life....I LOVED thinking of all the good I could have done with that money, and one of the first things on my list was some sort of divorce center for women that would offer classes in just these very things.

9:21 am

Trifioso

hey, maybe I should ask the new hardware store guy to offer classes.....

9:21 am

crosshair

untill then ,i will help as i can

9:21 am

Trifioso

you really are a prince, lord melbourne!

9:21 am

welki

home depot has classes for beginners .. why make classes separate for one group of homeowners?

9:22 am

crosshair

crossy bows and tips his cap

9:22 am

welki

the vendor (home depot or local hardware guy) would make more money opening classes to everyone, that way no one feels left out or as if they can't attend

9:23 am

crosshair

i was in construction for 10 years..picked up a few bits and pieces lol

9:23 am

Trifioso

seriously, I have so many good ideas! A performing arts center for my town, with music, drama, painting rooms, dance classrooms....a town pool, with diving end....a daycare center, teen hangout, artsy movie cinema (there are NO screens of art within 20 miles of me) and money for churches....and then of course, the divorce center, and college tuition for all my kids, nieces, nephews...oh, the good I could do!

9:23 am

welki

i just watched and listened

9:23 am

Trifioso

I agree welki, but I think niche marketing is always good too.

9:23 am

EvaNadine

as a beginner to hardware-type things, id prefer to take classes meant for beginners.
but as a non-beginner in many other things, i would feel frustrated having to hear what i already know -- id want to hurry up and move on!

9:24 am

Trifioso

I wasn't allowed to touch the tools. Mr hate was VERY controlling that way

9:24 am

crosshair

lol trif,there is a football player who made a fortune in the nfl,he bought everyone in his small home town a house lol

9:25 am

Trifioso

he would get so mad if I made a mistake, it allowed for no learning curve at all. Definitely not my style of teaching, thank god

9:25 am

Frances

l;

9:25 am

Trifioso

I think that is lovely crossy!

9:25 am

welki

gaet

9:25 am

welki

d'oh

9:25 am

welki

lol .. wrong letter anyway

9:26 am

Trifioso

close welki! Just change up your consonant

9:26 am

crosshair

it is,it has a cascade effect,they all owned the house or had their mortgage paid off,they had more discretionary income,they bought more locally and the town prospered

9:26 am

welki

habit .. i always try it

9:26 am

Trifioso

indy is chewing on a noisemaker he rooted out from under a couch. i should scold him, but it's too cute - the sparkly blue streamers look nice against his black fur

9:27 am

MollyL

Trif, you and I would make EXCELLENT lottery winners.

9:27 am

Trifioso

i believe ireland had a similar effect after the colleges waived fees for local students - all the money parents had been saving up for their kids educations went to fixing up their houses, cars, etc. and the celtic tiger roared there, for a bit

9:28 am

EvaNadine

i just watched Extreme Makeover: Home Edition last night + was almost in happy tears. the main family had a little boy in a wheelchair with spina bifida. their house was perfectly fine, just unsuitable for someone in a wheelchair. so they got their new house made, but the little boy had a friend in his class whose parents were from kosovo. there were 6 people living in a 2-bedroom apartment, so the little boy wanted the show to GIVE his old house to them -- and they DID! picked it up, and moved it right on down the road.

9:28 am

Trifioso

let's hope we get to find that out, molly! Maybe I could buy a dinner with david bowie!

9:28 am

Trifioso

I saw the end of that eva, but not the beginning. how sweet is that?

9:29 am

MollyL

It's up to 290 million this week. Let the philanthropic women have their go at it. PLEASE.

9:29 am

Trifioso

I will say, the end of that show confused me, though. apparently the mom and dad run an organization for kids in wheelchairs, right? so who's grand idea was it to put the office downSTAIRS?

9:29 am

EvaNadine

trif -- i was welling up!

9:30 am

Trifioso

that show should be sponsored by kleenex. It makes me lose my sh**, every single time.

9:30 am

EvaNadine

trif -- from seeing that show before, even though they didnt show it, i feel fairly confident there was an elevator in there somewhere. there usually is, so that no section of the house is off-limits to the person in the wheelchair.

9:30 am

Trifioso

speaking of things that make me lose it - he5 -- nasty ass things that eat my goldfish out of my pond every summer, cruel beasts!

9:31 am

blueheron

sorry about that trif!!!

9:31 am

Trifioso

LOLOLOLOL

9:32 am

blueheron

just looking for munchies:)

9:32 am

Trifioso

all apologies to present company, my DEAR friend!

9:32 am

blueheron

ha ha

9:32 am

blueheron

Happy new year!!

9:32 am

Trifioso

crossy, do you think I need to bring measurements to the hardware store, so they can figure out how much weather stuff I need?

9:32 am

EvaNadine

maybe you should stick to goldfish of the cracker variety. ;)

9:33 am

crosshair

i would bring measurements

9:33 am

EvaNadine

trif, from my experience, bring ALL the info you can. too much is better than not enough.

9:33 am

crosshair

and thell them exactly where you wish to apply it and the size of the gaps

9:33 am

blueheron

yes, that is a great idea Eva:) But the one's in the pond smelll so good!

9:33 am

Trifioso

with respect to blue's kin, those fat flying pigs will eat anything, so not even goldfish crackers are safe. and they are RUDE - kick over my plants, make a mess, cause fear and trembling amongst the rabbits.

9:34 am

Trifioso

I remain, as ever, so in love with you crossy....in a completely appropriate way, of course

9:34 am

blueheron

Wow! I had no idea Trif.

9:35 am

Trifioso

and forgive me, gloria steinem, but there actually are times I miss having a man around. they just have some handy dandy skill sets.

9:35 am

crosshair

but of course ((trif))

9:35 am

EvaNadine

heh, i am usually the one teaching darling hubby how to work the tools. ;)

9:35 am

MollyL

Wow, I love he5s. Didn't realize there were people who don't.

9:35 am

Trifioso

WELL eva!!!!

I don't mind looking at a pretty he5 by the side of the north river at sunset, or whenever. just wish they would leave my poor fish alone

9:36 am

we are all unique,and we help each according to our gifts:)

same here trif:)

9:36 am

i dont know MUCH, but im still pretty sure i know more than he does. i just dont tell him that. ;)

9:36 am

Trifioso

thank you, mr marx!

9:37 am

Trifioso

((((biting my tongue to avoid saying something possibly a little too naughty to our young bride....))))

9:37 am

MollyL

Trif, do you have Mr. Handyman in your area?

9:37 am

EvaNadine

he still thinks that the reason the pilot light keeps going out in the fireplace (despite maintenance having already "fixed" it!) is because once in a while we have the window cracked -- he thinks the wind is blowing it out.
nevermind that it goes out when the window isnt open or that there is a wall between the window + the fireplace.

9:37 am

Trifioso

probably molly. what I don't have is mr. Moneybags

9:38 am

EvaNadine

trif, i have the mind of a teenage boy. there is nothing too naughty for my ears...lol

9:38 am

Trifioso

in that case, eva....nope, nope, can't do it. I have to remember, the chog is eternal

9:38 am

crosshair

of course another was to kill the gaps on entryway doors into you living spaces is to apply nice hard wood flooring throughout;))

9:38 am

Trifioso

and I just checked. a certain member of the clergy is on right now. I am saying NOTHING

9:39 am

EvaNadine

clergy??

9:39 am

Trifioso

hang on, crossy - I do have hardwood. how would that help?

9:39 am

Trifioso

my pastor babbles, eva....

9:40 am

welki

too late, the cat's out of the bag, he/she knows you're thinking naughty thoughts *lol*

9:40 am

crosshair

if you did not have it,then applied it,it would raise the floor level of course lol

9:40 am

Kazzer99

its taking me ages today to do the words - even with the list

9:40 am

Trifioso

thinking naughty thoughts is one thing - typing them in the eternal chog is another....besides, now it's very edgar allen poe, isn't it? you are all thinking your own naughties

9:40 am

crosshair

lol trif,you have been caught,the tought is the same as the deed lol

9:41 am

Trifioso

makes sense to YOU crossy!

9:41 am

crosshair

thought

9:41 am

Trifioso

no it isn't! I can think of assassinating someone, but that is not the same as doing it!

9:42 am

We need to go back to the barter system. In which a single Dad would fix your weatherstripping and you could make a dinner for him an his kids.

9:50 am

crosshair

na,was just orginizing the kitchen

9:51 am

EvaNadine

crossy -- i wish my hubs cooked as well as you.
he made dinner the other night -- pasta that, well, lets say it went right through us.
and packed me a lunch today -- PBJ sammiches. :)

bless his heart.

9:51 am

crosshair

at least he tries:)

9:52 am

EvaNadine

he does.
and for that, i love him. :)

9:52 am

welki

true enough, crossy

9:53 am

Kazzer99

urrgh - my internet is playing up now - still have 15 to get

9:53 am

MollyL

Good Lord Eva, what did he do to the pasta?

9:53 am

EvaNadine

tonights dinner will be of my making -- cornmeal-dusted, pan-fried ravioli.

9:53 am

crosshair

he just needs to learn the shortcuts,in 15 minutes i can make fettuchini al simone,penne ala vodka or a nice chicken cordon bleu with a nice salad

9:53 am

EvaNadine

molly, i think it was the sauce. we are lazy + mostly use jarred sauce, but he always tries to dress it up.
methinks he put a few too many extras in this time around...

9:54 am

crosshair

jarred sauce??!!..acck! the horror!

9:55 am

EvaNadine

::fans crossy::
i know, dear.
*hangs head in shame*

9:55 am

crosshair

lol

9:55 am

MollyL

Either that or the expiration date on the jar was past. Making your own red sauce is not that hard. However most people use canned things to make it, so it's not really "from scratch".

9:55 am

crosshair

i do many cream sauces these days(the red sauces burn crossy,s tummy now)

9:56 am

EvaNadine

hubby doesnt eat anything that is, and i quote, "white and creamy"

the few exceptions: ice cream and whipped cream.

9:56 am

crosshair

lol

9:56 am

crosshair

well he has a young stomach for now

9:57 am

EvaNadine

i will sometimes sneak stuff he doesnt like into dishes i know he does. i will thicken the red sauce with a little cream or slip some extra veggies into meatloaf...

9:57 am

crosshair

wait 10 or 20 years when every bups sends battery acid up to dissolve yout tongue

9:57 am

MollyL

Go Eva. Didn't he say he was allergic to something and then you snuck it into his food to prove he wasn't?

9:57 am

crosshair

burp

9:57 am

EvaNadine

he claims to be allergic to carrots, yet he is more than willing to eat CANNED carrots.
i try to explain they all originate from the same place...

9:59 am

EvaNadine

heh, probably, molly.
i wouldnt normally mess around with allergies, only i know hes not really allergic. he just dislikes things to an extent that if he KNOWS its in there, he will psychosomatically make himself FEEL ill.
its rather sad, actually...

9:59 am

welki

rheostat and irrigate .. welki's phantoms of the day

9:59 am

crosshair

lol eva,when you peel and boil the regular carrots,just add a spoon of sugar or some chicken stock to the water,he will eat them

9:59 am

MollyL

Why am I thinking he was fed solid food way too young as an infant. It's a Freudian thing.

10:00 am

crosshair

he misses the boob? lol

10:00 am

EvaNadine

im inclined to just save the packaging from certain foods i know he likes, then make it from scratch and leave the package on the counter so he thinks its pre-prepared...heh

10:00 am

EvaNadine

he IS rather obsessed with them...lmao

10:00 am

crosshair

lol good idea eva

10:01 am

MollyL

Nope Cross. That texture dislike thing can come from introducing solids too early. Freud was right about some things. People who were toilet trained to early generally have "bathroom issues".

10:01 am

crosshair

lol,we start our life attached to a young firm boob and spend the rest of our lives torying to go back there lol

10:01 am

Uh...only you y-chromos do that.

10:02 am

crosshair

i know molly my son has a thing with the lables on clothing rubbing on his skin

10:02 am

EvaNadine

and his cousin is even worse than he is!
i swear, all the kid eats is:
pepperoni or sausage pizza
turkey sandwiches (plain turkey on bread, nothing else)
mountain dew
hot dogs

kid doesnt even eat burgers.

10:02 am

crosshair

good lord!

10:03 am

MollyL

Eva, that's hysterical about the food packaging. It's like the commercial where the guy tries to blame the pizza delivery guy for the mess when they really had frozen pizza.

10:03 am

EvaNadine

and hes 18 years old, crossy.

10:04 am

EvaNadine

when his cousin was staying with us, i kept joking that we should take him out for thai, chinese, sushi, pho...

10:04 am

MollyL

I have a problem with parents who tolerate that kind of picky eating. There are clever ways to introduce new foods to kids. Um...the cousin HAS to have digestive problems.

10:04 am

crosshair

i may make a lot of noise about bacon,but in reality i eat it sensibly...fresh breads and buns are my true weakness

10:04 am

crosshair

yaa for sue!!

10:04 am

suefrad625

what's a fresh bread or bun?

10:05 am

EvaNadine

i was a picky eater growing up. my poor parents tried everything, but in the end, if i didnt like it, i just wouldnt eat at all.

finally, though, i got bored of the foods i liked, and i started branching out. i still dont go TOO far from my comfort zone, but i will try most things...
i was so ecstatic when i finally got hubby to like thai food!

10:07 am

crosshair

you do not know what bread is sue?? lol

10:07 am

crosshair

and buns are those round things used for sammiches lol

10:09 am

Kazzer99

we make our own with a bread machine - no time for all the bashing and thumping to make completely from scratch

10:09 am

i love rice stir fry dishes

10:09 am

me too Ksazzer. We make pizza dough too

10:09 am

if i had a bead machine,i would be 400 pounds in no time

the only thing i wont eat is aubergines but i am waiting to be educated but havent found any recipes that uses them that i can tolerate

10:10 am

crosshair

thing would be pumping out 4 loaves a day lol

10:10 am

EvaNadine

i received a few bread recipes with my Kitchenaid, so i was thinking of trying some out at home...
dont have a bread machine, though...

10:11 am

EvaNadine

kazzer -- im not really a fan either. hubby loves them and squash + zucchini -- the whole family.
i never took to them, though.

10:11 am

Kazzer99

its great - you tip all the stuff in the tin in the machine select the program and let it get on with it. You can do one using flour yeast etc or using a commercial mix - which only takes a couple of hours so is very good if you forgot to buy one and the shops are shut

10:12 am

EvaNadine

oh, but this is something i thought crossy would appreciate...
there is a new burger joint near our house that supposedly serves... *wait for it*

sweet potato tater tots!!

10:12 am

EvaNadine

rumor has it you can order them bacon-wrapped.

10:12 am

crosshair

lol eva,many of our fast food joints now offer sweet potato fries

10:12 am

Kazzer99

i want a food processor thats the next thing on my list

10:13 am

crosshair

but not like i make my sweet tater frittes;)

10:13 am

we can get sweet potato fries, but tots? heavenly!!

10:13 am

mmmmm..... tots.

10:18 am

EvaNadine

i once had SUCH a craving for tots that i went out + bought a bag + had the whole thing for dinner.

10:18 am

Eva, I found a great recipe for sweet potato rolls that I want to try.

10:18 am

lol!

10:18 am

rolls?

10:19 am

MollyL

Yep, dinner rolls.

10:19 am

interesting. sounds tasty!

I also have a recipe somewhere that calls for you to "put a buttload of tater tots" over the top of it. : P

Good morning, fair babbling friends.

i believe the Duggar family (from that TV show) has a recipe for Tater Tot Casserole

10:20 am

Hi Judi

10:20 am

howdy judi:)

10:21 am

MollyL

Yes, I think I saw it on their web site. Of course, since I am not cooking for three dozen people, I don't use their quantities.

10:21 am

rururocks

who are the duggar family?

10:22 am

EvaNadine

also, there is a chili place around here (Molly -- Hard Times, if youre ever interested) where you can get tots covered in your choice of chili, sour cream, onions, cheese + toppings

10:22 am

EvaNadine

ruru -- thats the family with like 19 kids and a tv show

10:22 am

19 kids.. what?

watching the duggars makes me cringe..i mean having your own t.v slot just because you have litters of kids are are not ashamed to use the props..err i mean children to make a buck

10:40 am

MollyL

I have similar feelings about The Duggars Cross.

10:42 am

EvaNadine

still, id rather be a Duggar than a Gosslin.

10:43 am

rururocks

are they adopted kids?

10:44 am

Judi

The Duggars creep me out.

10:44 am

EvaNadine

nope. ALL theirs.
i do think there are 2 sets of twins in there somewhere...

10:45 am

rururocks

omg..have they heard of birth control?

10:45 am

Judi

They don't believe in it. Religious beliefs, etc.

10:45 am

EvaNadine

actually, if you read their website, they used to use it, until they conceived while on the pill and it caused the miscarriage of one of their children. between that + a serious religious background, they stopped using any form o fit.

10:46 am

rururocks

that's really horrible

10:46 am

so they are going to keep puming out kids while she gets older and all the perils of late in life childbirth fill up the Er?...ugh!

Cross: Their last girl had lots of issues, she was really premature. Had to live in a bubble for a while.
Have you heard about that new show with the identical quads? I think that must be pretty nightmarish.

10:47 am

EvaNadine

while i have no kida of my own, i actually have no issue with them. they seem to be raising some really good kids, and they arent on any sort of welfare of government aid. in fact, they are completely debt-free.
they may not be the norm, but it seems they are doing something right...

10:48 am

leighprefect

Eva-Ya, but if it weren't for the show, chances are they wouldn't be in as great a spot as they are now.

10:48 am

EvaNadine

oh, im sure they have made a pretty penny from the show. but it seemed they were doing ok for themselves even before that.

10:48 am

crosshair

they pimp their kids

10:49 am

crosshair

sorry i will just hunt for words for a bit..makes crossy angry...sploosh!

10:50 am

EvaNadine

i guess i just dont feel that the Duggars pimp their kids the way the Gosselins do. same concept of show, yet so entirely different.

10:50 am

rururocks

ga6 anyone?

10:50 am

leighprefect

I just think it's creepy that with the Duggars, the eldest kids are having kids that will be older than their youngest siblings.

10:51 am

EvaNadine

yes. i DO find that part creepy. very much so.

10:51 am

MollyL

The Duggars are like a cult to me, that's why I find them creepy.

10:51 am

leighprefect

Eva-I can see how you feel that way. Kate used her kids. Jon just used the celebrity that came from Kate using the kids.

10:51 am

rururocks

Oh.....they are pumping them out too?

10:52 am

leighprefect

Ru- Not quite the same way, though who knows in the future?

10:52 am

leighprefect

The Duggar kids, although I'm sure they love all their siblings, probably see the problems in having so many kids and won't be as quick to have their own armies.

10:53 am

rururocks

someone should neuter the whole family

10:53 am

EvaNadine

with the Gosselins, i get the feeling they are showing off, dragging the camera around with them.
with the Duggars, i get more of a feeling that they are more or less just living their lives, and the camera happened to show up. (grants, i DO understand they get some perks from the show) i feel like the duggar family is, for the most part, just doing what they would be doing even if the camera wasnt there.

10:53 am

Judi

I agree, Molly. The mother is facing serious health if they continue to breed. Also - the health of future children is at stake. I think it's time for daddy to have a vasectomy.

10:55 am

rururocks

the gosselins I know.. they are both really creepy

10:56 am

leighprefect

Either way, reality shows are so stressful, that it has have some sort of effect on the children. Eventually, if they haven't already (I don't watch either show), the kids will start to resent the fact that every minute of their lives has the potential for being aired to the country.

10:56 am

leighprefect

has to have*

10:56 am

"Little People, Big World" is a good show.

i agree, leigh.

10:56 am

well,i have some real life crap to do and will be beack.the show that really,really bugs me is 'toddlers and tiaras" i would sue them if i could! taking 6 year old girls and dressing them up as hookers to win a prize?? i mean what the hell!!! but i better not get started.will be back...poof!

10:57 am

MollyL

Mom Duggar has been cranking out a baby a year for 22 years. A woman's body was not built to do that.

10:57 am

leighprefect

Cross- Agreed! When you are spending tens of thousands a year to parade your child around in a fancy dress and ten pounds of makeup, you've got serious issues.

10:58 am

rururocks

does she still walk>?

10:59 am

MollyL

Personally, I think it should be illegal for anyone to be in a pageant until they are 18.

Ciao Eva

11:01 am

She still walks, Ruru... but you could drive a stroller between her legs. *sorry*

11:03 am

MollyL

The youngest Duggar just turned a year old, so expect the announcement of number 20 any day now.

11:04 am

Soodle

Erm... My dad was the eldest of 15! But that was back in the '20's and 30's in 'Holy Catholic Ireland'... (i.e., no TV - lol)

11:05 am

MollyL

Soodle, the difference is, back then, families needed lots of kids to help work the land.

11:06 am

Soodle

And, my mother had 10 siblings. I have over 100 first cousins, many of whom I have never met!

11:06 am

Judi

And, there was no such thing as birth control - until condoms came along.

11:09 am

leighprefect

Soodle- In HRC Ireland, you were an outcast to have less than 10! ;)

11:09 am

Judi

Also - people used to have more children because the infant mortality rate was so much higher. Plus, children died frequently from infection and diseases.

11:10 am

leighprefect

For Catholics especially, the church always teaches you that its your job on this earth to just procreate. Marriage is not for love, its for procreation and making little Catholic babies.

11:10 am

Soodle

You would have had the parish priest at the door, demanding an explanation!!! (Just don't get me started about the clergy, please..... !)

11:12 am

rururocks

why don't people boycott their show?

11:13 am

leighprefect

Ru- Because for every person you have that thinks what they're doing is incredibly wrong, you have five more out there who either agree with their non-contraceptive religious ways, or love the family.

11:13 am

Soodle

Following recent revealations, the catholic church have been remarkably quiet on the whole sex thing. And rightly so!

11:14 am

leighprefect

Soodle- To an extent. Benedict, the ugliest pope known to man, agreed that gay men can use condoms to help stop the spread of AIDS. They not only gave the okay for gay men to have sex, but it also goes back to proving that Catholics are here to make Catholic babies.

11:14 am

rururocks

that is so terribly wrong and sad.

11:14 am

EvaNadine

this picture is in somewhat bad taste, but it still makes me laugh:
http://tinyurl.com/2z8qgy

and this is from when they only had 14 kids!

11:16 am

leighprefect

Men can't use condoms with women, but they can use them with other men.

11:17 am

rururocks

well that's because a large percentage of the Catholic church already has sex with their own gender

11:17 am

Judi

Oh, please. Let's not get started on the hypocrisy of the Catholic Church.

11:17 am

Soodle

Leigh... it certainly didn't start with Benedict. Paul V! and the second vatican council made some horrific proclamations. The real scandal is how this country was 'Priest-ridden' (sic) for so long.

11:17 am

rururocks

er.. the priests I mean

11:17 am

leighprefect

We're not getting into this!

11:18 am

Soodle

Ruru, I have no problem with consenting adults doing whatever. Its when they start on young kids is when it gets sickening

11:18 am

rururocks

I totally agree

11:19 am

leighprefect

Soodle- Indeed, it's always been that way, but I was just referring to your comment about being recently quiet and then referencing my earlier point about baby factory Catholicism.

11:20 am

leighprefect

Anywho, I agree with all sides. Yes, Catholics are hypocrites. It's why I'm a picky cafeteria Catholic. Yes, preying on the young is incredibly wrong.

11:21 am

leighprefect

But if we go any further, it's just like debating between Democrats/Republicans/Tea Party/Glenn Beck/Right-Wing/Left-Wing/Liberal/Cons
ervative/and all that crap.

11:22 am

leighprefect

It'd get nasty.

11:22 am

rururocks

I'd have to think the milliions the church is paying out in lawsuits is resulting in changes in the clergy

11:23 am

leighprefect

Ru- It's secretly why almost every week in my mother's church there is a second collection for the Archdiocese.

11:23 am

Well, I can't say I haven't been entertained this afternoon, but I can tell you I've got things to do and people to see, and to do both I need to get my butt out of bed and ready to go.

11:30 am

Eva, I've seen that picture before and I think it's funny. What's not funny is what little clones all those children are.

11:41 am

EvaNadine

Scrabbler

So, low risk procedures then--smart of you.

11:46 am

EvaNadine

molly -- i think its a mystery fish pie conspiracy.

11:46 am

stidmama

I like this quote from candice olson (HGTV designer) "I take my work seriously; I don't take myself seriously" -- an attitude I would like to adopt.

11:47 am

caitlyn

Eva I replied at 11.44 lol

Phantom = maestro

11:47 am

Aloyisius

hi Babblers! more food in the chod

11:47 am

Aloyisius

g

11:47 am

stidmama

good phantom, scrabs.

11:47 am

Scrabbler

And one of my favorite quotes is by Oscar Wilde: Life is far too important to be taken seriously.

11:47 am

Aloyisius

ugh, can't type

11:47 am

stidmama

my phantom is "drag"

11:48 am

stidmama

hey Aloyisius!

11:48 am

caitlyn

Hi Aloy

11:48 am

Scrabbler

Hi Aloy

11:48 am

EvaNadine

oh, i like cobbler too, but i thought we were talking about fish.
lol

11:48 am

Aloyisius

hiya stiddy!

11:48 am

stidmama

ah, that is a nice one, too!

11:48 am

JBV

hi guys, now i'm just slightly bewildered - ....

11:48 am

Aloyisius

hi Scrabbs.. snow all gone?

11:48 am

stidmama

yes JBV? ((hugs))

11:48 am

Scrabbler

Yeah, when I typed in maestro I was feeling smug that I found a 7 ltr word by myself. How dare that be a phantom!

11:48 am

caitlyn

phone back in a mo

11:48 am

JBV

what do you make of a lawyer who, after talking to me for a few minutes about what I've done and what needs to be done, advised me that I can handle the probate process on my own! -

11:49 am

EvaNadine

one of my favorites is by Mark Twain:
Let us endeavor so to live that when we come to die, even the undertaker will be sorry.

11:49 am

EvaNadine

JBV -- id say s/he is lazy and its best you dont hire them!

11:49 am

Scrabbler

Perhaps honest then rather than saying come on in and I'll take care of everything for $2500.

11:49 am

JBV

that's why I said bewildered - not sure what to think

11:49 am

stidmama

LOL obviously he recognizes your superior intellect, JBV! still, a meeting with you to be sure you have what you need is in order. A different lawyer (second opinion) might be good.

11:50 am

JBV

second opinion, good idea...

11:50 am

rubyfoo

hello everybody

11:50 am

stidmama

shall I wait while you call again?

11:50 am

stidmama

hey ruby!

11:51 am

ChampFit

Been lurking for a bit. JBV...my friend lost her husband last month, and hired a lawyer for probate. It's well above $2500, according to her attorney. But she didn't want to handle it herself.

11:51 am

Judi

Yay me! Fireworks!

11:51 am

stidmama

YAY Judi!

11:51 am

JBV

no, thanks, stid, I have to think about who to call now - we have some lawyer friends, but I don't want a friend handling this - but maybe they can give me a referral

11:51 am

Aloyisius

congrats, Judi !!!! ... hi ruby

11:51 am

rubyfoo

yay judi

11:51 am

rubyfoo

hello aloy

11:51 am

rubyfoo

hi jbv

11:51 am

ChampFit

Yay Judi!

11:51 am

rubyfoo

11:51 am

rubyfoo

hi champ

11:52 am

stidmama

yes, a referral from a friend sounds reasonable.

11:52 am

ChampFit

hey ruby!

11:52 am

rubyfoo

I only found 81 words this AM

11:52 am

JBV

I've done a lot already, Champ, my husband was very smart about setting things up so mostly everything just transfers to me anyway, so it should be relatively easy - I did it after my mother died, went to court, filled out the forms, etc. ... it's definitely doable

11:53 am

rubyfoo

this sounds very serious!

11:53 am

ChampFit

I know, but it's different when it's your spouse, right? I think that's my friend's point. Different for everyone, I'm sure!

11:53 am

stidmama

my Granny did something similar, JBV; nearly all her assets were in a trust that is automatically distributed to the heirs. Very little for the executor to do once the process is started.

11:54 am

JBV

True, Champ, but even when a lawyer is "in charge" you still have to be involved - phone calls, forms to sign, meetings, etc. - so why pay someone if you can do it yourself? (talking myself into it...)

11:54 am

ChampFit

You need to do what you're comfortable with. So glad things are in order for you!

11:54 am

Scrabbler

Hi Judi, Champ and Ruby.

11:54 am

ChampFit

Hi scrabs!

11:55 am

rubyfoo

hello scrabbler!

11:55 am

stidmama

but there was some paperwork -- there always is...

11:55 am

stidmama

how are you ruby? thawed out yet?

11:55 am

JBV

yes, and if I can give a word of advice to anyone out there - check all your accounts and beneficiaries and make sure they're up to date - saves paperwork later

11:55 am

ChampFit

Stupid paperwork...I vote against it!

11:56 am

rubyfoo

actually, it's above freezing here. No snow except on the mountains, so it's very pretty. I pretend that spring is starting.....

11:56 am

JBV

snow is melting here - it's beautiful today

11:56 am

stidmama

good advice, JBV. I have been meaning to do that again. *sigh* always something more!

11:57 am

rubyfoo

the only clouds today were dispersed jet trails from Geneva and from Lyon

11:57 am

stidmama

it's going to be above freezing we are told -- no rain in more than a week and there is hoarfrost on everything. This morning it's overcast, which makes everything a lovely pearly grey.

11:57 am

rubyfoo

drowning in paperwork, that's why I play babble

11:57 am

ChampFit

makes for a nice break!

Our original surname was Redhead but we all had red hair so my granddad changed it to Read. Carlee, I have friended thee!

12:32 pm

stidmama

I have cut out almost everything, aloyisius. mine are generally triggered by my rapidly failing eyesight. wrinkled corneas fracture light strangely. when I don't use my eyes, the migraines all but disappear. choclit and coffee have not seemed to be either a trigger nor a deterrent

Right at this fascinating moment, I have to attend to dinner. Back later. I have 30 words left. Stid, you really do have my sympathy. I used to get terrible ones, dreadfully sick, but they suddenly stopped and turned out to be hormone related. I get a very rare one now, maybe every year or so.

1:41 pm

Scrabbler

Yes, I've noticed, Eva. Hilarious.

1:41 pm

welki

*nudges scrab* she's lost a bit of weight

1:41 pm

EvaNadine

1:43 pm

Scrabbler

Don't forget sunscreen.

1:44 pm

jmcnrick

hi all

1:44 pm

welki

hey, jm

1:44 pm

EvaNadine

1:45 pm

jmcnrick

i usually spread the chog with crumpled paper so i can hear people walk in

1:45 pm

welki

flippin' allergies. hate 'em.

1:48 pm

hootowl

NOT lurking! Just arrived. Happy New Year

1:49 pm

welki

*hoot hoot* hi, owl

1:49 pm

hootowl

Eva - I found a recipe for Pho for you but it sounds like it would be easier to buy a gallon and freeze it!

1:49 pm

cybernan

hi all -- happy new year :)

1:50 pm

welki

hi, nan

1:50 pm

hootowl

hi nan

1:50 pm

hootowl

Does anyone besides me think some of these words are preposterous?

1:51 pm

hootowl

like the ha8 and the he 8

1:52 pm

dfmchfhf

<-- is/was totally not lurking!
*continues not to lurk*

1:53 pm

EvaNadine

hoot -- i finally got to go to a local pho place with some friends this weekend and indulged. just what i needed!

1:54 pm

MollyL

Yes Hoot, preposterous.

1:55 pm

hootowl

well the link is in my profile if you want to know whats supposed to be in it. Love Thai myself but haven't tried it here in Memphis. Watching the Chinese places use peas instead of snow peas makes me very, very sceptical!

1:56 pm

hootowl

ty Molly

1:57 pm

welki

the Chinese restaurants up here use green peas, too. i'm originally from nyc ... i guess you use what you have

1:58 pm

hootowl

ex-NYer myself.

1:59 pm

hootowl

If they couldn't get them I'd understand, but they can! I've got some in my fridge right now

1:59 pm

hootowl

and there is at least 3 international markets too

2:00 pm

dfmchfhf

Probably because it's more expensive ;o)

2:00 pm

welki

get this .. here, if you order an egg roll, it comes rolled with dough and fried again!

2:00 pm

hootowl

actually cheaper

2:01 pm

hootowl

omg - want some recipes?

2:01 pm

jmcnrick

i am not lurking just keep getting called away to work :-(

2:01 pm

welki

even in the high end restaurants here, dfm. no fresh specials, either. mostly fried, refried stuff (ugh)

2:02 pm

dfmchfhf

hate how much fried stuff (and salt/MSG) there is in Western Chinese restaurants :o(

2:02 pm

welki

i'm lucky to have known a gal whose dad owned a chinese restaurant. she's a great cook and i've been given lots of their recipes

2:02 pm

EvaNadine

i was SO super craving thai garden rolls the other night.

2:02 pm

welki

<-- makes a wicked hot and sour soup

2:02 pm

EvaNadine

ooh, welki, im headed to your house for some of that!

2:03 pm

hootowl

Well in NY they have mostly stopped using the MSG. And good restaurants are easy on the oil & salt

2:03 pm

welki

oh! and if i go into a resaurant and ask for chow fun, everyone laughs .. they say i have to make my own, that they don't have fresh rice noodles (so i do)

2:03 pm

jmcnrick

i make hot and sour soup all winter long

2:03 pm

hootowl

you just reminded me ... I have all the ingredients, just haven't had the time

2:03 pm

welki

would you like the recipe, eva? it makes a lot

2:04 pm

jmcnrick

evan you can get some egg/summer rolls skins at Rodmans and sometimes things at Trader Joes

2:04 pm

welki

i think we should just meet up at jm's :)

2:04 pm

EvaNadine

eh. darling hubby doesnt like soup in general, so i definitely dont need to know how to make a large batch.

2:06 pm

carleekat

hi all again

2:06 pm

EvaNadine

i LOVE some hot + sour soup on a cold day when im feeling rather snuffly

2:07 pm

hootowl

If you can get hold of a copy of The Thousand Recipe Chinese Cookbook by Gloria Bley Miller, you will find recipes for just about everthing Chinese. Then modify ti suit yourself. My cooking teacher used it for class recipes already to match american supplies. Now you can get most of the ingredients in supermarkets or international stores

2:08 pm

jmcnrick

oo i have that one it is great!

2:08 pm

jmcnrick

you know welki i have invited you any number of times!

2:08 pm

hootowl

wow - that's a first!

2:09 pm

jmcnrick

what's a first? *looks around*

2:09 pm

hootowl

Eva - tell him it's a stew

2:09 pm

hootowl

someone having a cookbook I have

2:10 pm

hootowl

actually this whole conversation. Most people just go to restaurants

2:10 pm

MollyL

Okay, I just looked up a recipe for hot and sour soup and it calls for fungus. That is just not right.

2:10 pm

cybernan

grandbaby is up from her nap, so bye for now :)

2:11 pm

carleekat

i love fungus :p

2:11 pm

hootowl

it's just another type mushroom!

2:11 pm

carleekat

fungi?

2:11 pm

jmcnrick

I bought centuries ago and love it. Wonder if it is still on my shelf. I tend to make chinese food from thin air now

2:11 pm

jmcnrick

bad translation of mushrooms molly

2:11 pm

hootowl

yeah - mushrooms ARE fungi you know

2:12 pm

welki

yum .. wood ear :)

2:12 pm

jmcnrick

you can get great dried cloud ears at safeway and trader joes and sometimes at rodmans

2:12 pm

hootowl

me too. Once you have the basic metheod you can wing it

2:12 pm

EvaNadine

afraid darling hubby probably wouldnt eat stew either.
chili, maybe, but thats pushing it.

2:13 pm

hootowl

It is basically a mushroom stew

2:13 pm

dfmchfhf

ooh wood ear :oD

2:13 pm

welki

i know what you mean, eva .. i have one of those, too

2:13 pm

jmcnrick

but there is this TERRIFIC restaurant near my office --banana leaves--so i get tempted regularly

2:13 pm

carleekat

my kids are the same evaN...its annoying..i love soup..only soup my daughter does is cream of cheddar and broccoli

2:13 pm

jmcnrick

well start out with a stir fry evan

2:13 pm

welki

<-- puts tiger lily buds in her hot and sour soup, too

2:13 pm

hootowl

There isn't one restaurant around here - of any kind - that tempts me

2:13 pm

jmcnrick

another dish that doesn't need a recipe

2:14 pm

dfmchfhf

<-- sadly can't handle the "hot" part of hot-and-sour soup :o(

2:14 pm

jmcnrick

oh i love tiger lily buds but seldom see them

2:14 pm

hootowl

yes

2:14 pm

carleekat

i put tiger lily buds in salad

2:14 pm

jmcnrick

maybe when you are older dfm

2:14 pm

hootowl

oriental or international market is where I get mine

2:14 pm

jmcnrick

my hubby couldn't stand hot until being with me for 3 years

2:15 pm

EvaNadine

oh, he would definitely do stir-fry. actually, we havent done that in a while... thats for the mental note!

2:15 pm

jmcnrick

rodmans doesn't have them and i ha** trader joes

2:15 pm

welki

*note to self* if dfm is coming for dinner, leave out hot sesame oil

2:16 pm

welki

mine is just starting to use little drops of frank's louisiana

2:16 pm

jmcnrick

mmmm hot sesame oil *note to self: find some next time at store*

2:16 pm

carleekat

now u all making me hungry...

2:16 pm

welki

(and yes, you have invited me to your home many times .. careful what you wish for :)

2:16 pm

jmcnrick

i did stir fry in kenya when i couldn't stand another day of white rice and nothing

2:16 pm

EvaNadine

we LOVE hot stuff in our house. unfortunately, our bellies dont like it as much as we do...

2:16 pm

welki

2:16 pm

dfmchfhf

when *don't* we, carlee?

2:17 pm

carleekat

i make my buffalo wings using 1/2 bottle of franks/ batch ( the big 750mL bottle)

2:17 pm

hootowl

me too - but hot is relative. I'm not partial to it but use enough to just know it's there

2:17 pm

jmcnrick

then gradually make the stir fry soupier

2:17 pm

hootowl

welki - we may have to send you a care package

2:17 pm

jmcnrick

hot sesame oil I can get easily i just ran out and forgot to get more

2:18 pm

jmcnrick

i have eaten a few things that were to spicy for me

2:18 pm

2:18 pm

Hotter days?

2:38 pm

welki

i've always wanted some le creuset pots, but could never justify the expense (although i really do believe they're worth the price). i just found a half-price enameled cast iron KitchenAid pot for $45 .. and feel like i've gotten the bargain of the century!

i had beautiful black cast iron skillets and griddle ... they got left behind during my last move. so seasoned, you didn't need to grease the pan to fry an egg or turn a pancake

2:45 pm

jmcnrick

i was a rainbow girl myself

2:45 pm

not allowed to move it tho cus of the emerald ash borers... cant take to camp sites etc...

2:45 pm

welki

a pirate ship, hurshy

2:46 pm

jmcnrick

you can burn it in your fireplace you just can't move it more that a mile or something

2:46 pm

carleekat

if i had a fireplace....which i dont...very few houses up here do anymore...higher insurance rates

2:46 pm

hurshy

i didn't know that was a pirate ship, but somehow that helped me get it anyway. thanks welki!

2:47 pm

lynxxx

TY Welki

2:47 pm

hurshy

are wood stoves also associated with higher insurance rates, or just fireplaces?

2:47 pm

jmcnrick

i have a loverly gas fireplace

2:47 pm

welki

economic mercenary carriers for the french :)

2:47 pm

welki

me too, jm ... didn't think i'd like it, but i do

2:48 pm

carleekat

if it involves fire....its higher...almost dble in ont

2:48 pm

jmcnrick

i sat in front of one at a ho**'s house when i was on a speaking tour and fell in love. so I put one in my house

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

my only regret was that i didn't get one with an adjustable dial

2:49 pm

carleekat

i love them too..my next house will have one..no idea what else i want...but i KNOW i want a fireplaceÃ© stove..soomething

2:49 pm

hurshy

oh i stayed at a b&b with a gas fireplace in my room once, it smelled to high heaven

2:49 pm

jmcnrick

really? mine doesn't smell

2:50 pm

welki

if you use it for heat, the adjustable dial is helpful, but if you use it mostly for beauty, you'd end up turning the dial up anyway to get decent flame

2:50 pm

carleekat

my mums is on a thermostat....it comes on if is cool

2:50 pm

jmcnrick

then you will just have to come in the summer--but be warned i have no AC

2:50 pm

welki

smelled? like propane? hope you hightailed it out of there fast

2:50 pm

hurshy

i don't know if it was defective or if my nose is particularly sensitive or what.

2:50 pm

jmcnrick

i would like to have it on at a lower level

2:51 pm

welki

you can probably have one put in, jm ... do you turn it on with a switch on the wall?

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

no i just checked into it and i can't do it with this style

2:51 pm

jmcnrick

it uses a remote! lol

2:52 pm

welki

just asked mr welki ... he says there should already be an adjustment on the gas valve (if you only want to turn it down and leave it down for a good while)

2:52 pm

welki

oh that;s funny ... clap on, clap off!

2:53 pm

welki

a regulator ... would hve been used when installing the fireplace

2:54 pm

welki

there should be a door in your fireplace that give you access to the gas valve/piping/electrical .. that's where you can regulate the amount of gas coming thru

2:54 pm

jmcnrick

he's right I can do that but i have to reach into the stove area which requires being on my hands and knees!

2:55 pm

welki

get the boy to do it :)

2:55 pm

jmcnrick

he doesn't live with me anymore

2:55 pm

hurshy

jmcnrick

no lynxx that is what i just tried. i will have to find a setting that is the right compromise and leave it there

2:57 pm

welki

because his shower doesn't work and the cat dander will stay on him forever? wow, i wonder how he got the cat stuff off him when he took your car up north! (kids.)

2:58 pm

lynxxx

sad - do you keep a pair of overalls on the front verandah for him to change into?

2:58 pm

jmcnrick

well lets just say, cosdem that my son doesn't want his girl friend to suffer *ahem*

2:58 pm

jmcnrick

well the cat doesn't drive

2:58 pm

cosdem

see thats why i m gay :) lol

2:58 pm

welki

hehehehe

2:59 pm

hurshy

do you want her to suffer? ;)

2:59 pm

welki

but you sit in the car, you have dander on your clothes ... probably, if you're like me, you might even have one or two cat hairs stuck to the seat of your pants :)

2:59 pm

carleekat

tell her to take a contac c and suck it up....sheesh

2:59 pm

jmcnrick

to be fair when his gf is out of town he comes over and spends hours petting the cat

2:59 pm

cosdem

if anyone doesnt wanna make sacrifices for an adorble cat then yes let them suffer :)

2:59 pm

jmcnrick

i didn't say that hursh! lol

2:59 pm

lynxxx

my usband was very allergic to cats in his 20s but it seemed to pass as well

3:00 pm

jmcnrick

my husband was allergic but i had had the cat before him so he sucked it up and move in with me and my cat

3:00 pm

jmcnrick

he did seem to get over it

3:00 pm

cosdem

i was reading online you can become immune to cat allergies after being around them for a while

3:00 pm

carleekat

unless it is a deadly allergy... suck it up;;;

3:00 pm

jmcnrick

but it is not for me to say she should suck it up

3:01 pm

welki

i'm horribly allergic to most animals, takes me about 6 months to calm down. then, i only have to be careful about petting them and then rubbing my eyes

3:01 pm

jmcnrick

oooo give me that url cosd!

3:01 pm

lynxxx

interesting Cos

3:01 pm

cosdem

ok i will look for it today and send it to you

3:01 pm

jmcnrick

she does appear to be really allergic and not just sensitive

3:01 pm

jmcnrick

brb

3:02 pm

cosdem

case in point: ryan was so allergic to cats. he could not breath and would get massive asthma attacks. he still wanted a cat. 3 months later we now have 4 and he breaths just fine

3:02 pm

lynxxx

wow

3:02 pm

welki

egads. he has medicine nearby if he suffers an attack, right?

3:03 pm

cosdem

yes definitely

3:03 pm

cosdem

but its been 4 years since his last cat allergy attack

3:03 pm

carleekat

i think alot has to do with the food you feed a cat...i get really high grade no meat by product stuff for my cats...and even tho i know people with cat allergies...they are not allergic to mine...if i cheap out ( or my reg store is closed ) and i get low grade food..my cats' fur feels filthy in about 2-3 days

3:04 pm

carleekat

dander is after all ....dry saliva residue on the fur...

3:06 pm

welki

laundry time .. bbl

3:06 pm

cosdem

oooh good point!

3:09 pm

jmcnrick

uh i don't spit in my hair

3:09 pm

Hello jmcnrick: I note your earlier tale of shelf falling down. I remember the same happening to my study shelf: after the thunderous rumbling had died away, flapping open upon the top of the heap of books were J E Gordon's "Structures: or why things don't fall down" and "The new science of strong materials: why you don't fall through the floor" !

3:54 pm

lynxxx

2 books you obviously hadn't read Scouser!

5:44 pm

kje

mmmmm, sounds good

5:44 pm

kje

spaghetti with olive oil, garlic, anchovy, parsley and red pepper flakes here

5:44 pm

welki

they are .. has anyone ever had a bad rib?

5:45 pm

welki

ohhhh, that sounds good, too! i've been preparing some recipes for the kids and found a "real" caesar salad recipe that uses anchovies

5:46 pm

welki

it uses a "real" raw egg, too ... tells you how old the recipe is

5:46 pm

kje

yes, the original caesar has achovies

5:46 pm

kje

and raw egg

5:46 pm

kje

developed in mexico

5:47 pm

bichon

qu 8?

5:47 pm

welki

it's delicious, but not sure about the egg these days

5:47 pm

kje

it will be fine

5:48 pm

5:49 pm

kje

ty

5:50 pm

kje

hi to

5:50 pm

jmcnrick

organic is no proof against salmonella

5:50 pm

welki

but would you eat the salad anyway, jm?

5:50 pm

bichon

ty welki

5:50 pm

kje

true - but decreases likelihood of cross coatmiation... less likely

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

maybe but a friend of mine who runs a dinner made his own mayo with organic eggs and sent 6 clients to the hospital

5:51 pm

welki

whoa-boy ... that's rough

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

but i have eaten many insects and things intentionally because i don't worry too much

5:51 pm

kje

I make aioli all the time ad have never had a problem

5:52 pm

kje

so it is up to you whether you want the risk

5:52 pm

jmcnrick

he went to the hospital and apologized and paid their bills, but he is never making fresh mayo again

5:53 pm

kje

the easy out, is to by the pasteurized eggs or pasteurized egg whites in cartons - then there is no worry

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

when something calls for raw egg i use eggbeaters as they have been pasturized

5:53 pm

jmcnrick

snap

5:53 pm

welki

well there ya go ... will add this note to the recipe for the kids

5:54 pm

jmcnrick

but i personally never had a bad rib but then they only served me back bones of cabrita in kenya--bet if they had served ribs i would not have liked it

5:55 pm

jmcnrick

Feather, if you had to get fixated on a movie, that is the one to get fixated on. My kids were at that "watch it every other night" stage when it got popular, so it was a regular in our house.

Grandson: Does it got any sports in it?
Grandfather: Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, Giants, Monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles...
Grandson: It doesn't sound too bad. I'll try and stay awake.

9:18 pm

herinfernallady

Ballet we do gift babble prodom to people :D

9:19 pm

balletslippers

so i heard last night, herin. I was delighted! I hadn't even realized the stats appearing randomly was me being pro. But I'm very happy.

9:20 pm

herinfernallady

I haven't been here much lately I have a new computer game to entertain me.

9:20 pm

Nef

oh-oh herin. what's your new game?

9:20 pm

balletslippers

ooh, what game?

9:21 pm

herinfernallady

Fall Out New Vegas. It was a gift from himself at Christmas and he bought me Iron Sudoku Pro

9:21 pm

herinfernallady

and a couple of find them style games as they were on special

9:21 pm

gapeach

wild and ballet....my mind is somewhere sitting in neutral.....but the clues are great....still looking.

9:21 pm

Nef

(BTW, herin, I like your trees icon)

9:21 pm

balletslippers

oh Boy wants that game!

9:22 pm

balletslippers

keep trying, gapeach. Or move on to a different word and come back later. That always helps me. :)

9:23 pm

herinfernallady

Nef the tree is from Vista pics. Ballet do it and you may not see him for weeks

9:23 pm

gapeach

Thanks, m'dear.

9:23 pm

Nef

ga, not fine but co** + what you breathe

9:23 pm

balletslippers

(or here is a simpler clue: co + his and he** + what you breathe.)

9:23 pm

gapeach

Thanks so much, balletslippers.

9:24 pm

balletslippers

haha, that's why we sit on the couch together. I work (work from home) or play babble or mess around on facebook. He plays countless video games. Currently it's "Persona".

9:24 pm

balletslippers

that was a better clue, nef. You said it much simpler. :)

9:24 pm

herinfernallady

Steam had Mass Effect one and two on sale. He has been driving me spare with that one

9:26 pm

gapeach

OMG, thanks so much, Nef.

9:26 pm

9:28 pm

herinfernallady

Ballet there was a special there the other week and all our friends bought the same game so they can play together if they like (head desk)

9:29 pm

balletslippers

i've currently been tasked with "learning how to play games" by playing Little Big Planet. I don't think it will work. I've never been good at video games.

9:29 pm

herinfernallady

That is on Playstation 3 right?

9:29 pm

balletslippers

9:30 pm

herinfernallady

So yes between that and this and not really feeling chatty I have been absent

10:40 pm

stidmama

(if I can remember my own password, that is!)

10:41 pm
