I have had a great skiing season so far. Cross-country/Nordic, zooz, is just walking when you start. Then you improve and glide and speed up. It's an incredible work ot.

5:55 am

zoozzoom

Good gosh..how sad.

5:55 am

rubyfoo

skiing was like dancing for me, gravity did the work and it felt great. Now, I'm too scared of having somebody crash into me

5:56 am

rubyfoo

I gave away my skis and boots immediately after

5:56 am

Scrabbler

What happened, Ruby? Head injury? I gave up downhill skiing 30 yrs ago.

5:56 am

zoozzoom

Yes i can imagine it is a good workout, Scrabs, would like to try it..but my back would not be able to take it :-(

5:56 am

Scrabbler

The speed, the ice, the fast youngsters all made me fear a serious injury.

5:57 am

Scrabbler

Maybe it would strengthen your back, zooz.

5:57 am

rubyfoo

one of them had someone run into him and fracture his pelvis, but he's back skiing (crazy fool!). The other one was a great skiier, had skied his whole life and happened to hit an icy patch, fell and severed his spinal cord high up, enough to leave him a quadraplegic

5:57 am

zoozzoom

True...i do need to strengthen my back thats for sure.

5:58 am

Scrabbler

Yikes! So tragic!

5:58 am

zoozzoom

How sad is that, Ruby :-(

5:58 am

rubyfoo

We used to ski in Austria, only 4 1/2 hrs from here, and I would always ski with a (big, red) instructor, not for lessons, but for protection.

5:59 am

rubyfoo

I just got to be too nervous as I'm pretty small and if somebody crashed into me, I'd be dead

5:59 am

zoozzoom

I am sure accidents like that are very rare though , Ruby, you should still ski if you liked it alot.

5:59 am

rubyfoo

it was terribly sad, I went to the neighbor's 60th birthday party and his wife had hired two planes to form a smoke heart over the lake, and he died the next winter

6:00 am

Scrabbler

The young skiers + boarders, esp male, like SPEED!

6:00 am

rubyfoo

unfortunately, not so rare. There are a lot of out-of-control skiiers!

6:00 am

rubyfoo

I am too old to risk getting injured

6:01 am

zoozzoom

Surley there must be a segragated ar4 th4 people can go without fear of theses speeders.

6:01 am

Scrabbler

I don't want to wreck a hip, knee, shoulder, elbow and then not be able to kayak, hike and mountain bike.

6:01 am

zoozzoom

Sorry about my spelling.

6:02 am

Scrabbler

Ski Patrol monitors the slopes.

6:02 am

zoozzoom

Oh yes how is your hiking going, Scrabs, climbed any more mountains since your last one?

6:02 am

rubyfoo

unfortunately, not, even in the fancy ski resorts (like Austria). We used to ski in St. Anton and Lech

6:03 am

FMitch

All those outdoor activities must keep you pretty fit Scrabs.
How are the bunnies by the way?

6:03 am

rubyfoo

you sound tres sportive, scrabbler!!!

6:04 am

Scrabbler

Fat but rather fit, and trying to lose wt.

6:04 am

Scrabbler

The bunnies are so darn cute. They always make me smile.

6:04 am

FMitch

lol is that you or the bunnies?

6:05 am

rubyfoo

I can't believe that you are fat and can cross-country ski which is much more strenuous than downhill

6:06 am

Scrabbler

ME. I need to lose quite a bit of wt.

6:06 am

rubyfoo

eat beets!

6:06 am

Scrabbler

I don't think I ever have.

6:07 am

rubyfoo

wrap them in aluminum foil, bake for a couple of hours. They are magic!

6:08 am

rubyfoo

and with a little bit of feta and olive oil and vinegar, they make a whole, low-cal meal

6:08 am

Scrabbler

F, could you arrange for me to meet my new obsession: Rupert Penry-Jones. I have been watching all of the Spooks shows and am so enamored!!

6:08 am

FMitch

oh yummmm

6:08 am

Scrabbler

OK, Ruby, I will y hem.

6:08 am

rubyfoo

spooks?

6:08 am

Scrabbler

Yes, F, I say yum when I see Rupert.

6:09 am

rubyfoo

my son taught me how to cook them -- so simple and you can leave them in the oven

6:09 am

FMitch

I will see what I can do Scrabs *grin*

6:09 am

Scrabbler

In the US the show is called MI-5. I started with season 1 and just started 7.

6:09 am

Mark Jones

Hello my babbler friends! How is everything on the Babble front?

6:09 am

Scrabbler

Hi MArk

6:09 am

rubyfoo

hello mark. How is everything in Andorra?

6:10 am

FMitch

Poor George has been cast aside by Scrabs but at least there won't be any more squabbles.

6:10 am

Mark Jones

It is China now; Eveerything is great! Hi Scrabs!

6:10 am

rubyfoo

I love MI-5 but they don't give you the names of the cast. Which one is he?

6:10 am

FMitch

Hi Mark

6:10 am

rubyfoo

Is that Harry?

6:10 am

Mark Jones

Hello FM. How are you today?

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Roo is much younger.

6:10 am

rubyfoo

peripatetic Mark J!!!!

6:10 am

Scrabbler

Adam Carter.

6:11 am

rubyfoo

oh, he is gone from the new season. I prefer Harry, but I'm much older than you, scrabs!

6:12 am

rubyfoo

but Ruth is back

6:12 am

rubyfoo

we get some great programs from BBC

6:12 am

Scrabbler

I just watched that episode and am mourning the loss. I like Harry too--intense man with integrity.

6:13 am

Scrabbler

Ruth will return? Ros has returned from Russia.

6:13 am

rubyfoo

we didn't like Ros at first, but she is amazing!

6:13 am

rubyfoo

It took two seasons for Ruth to come back and we are happy for Harry!!

6:14 am

Scrabbler

I have mixed feelings about Ros. She reminds me of Nellie Oleson from the Little House on the Prairie show.

6:14 am

rubyfoo

It's terrible to be so attached to a TV series, but it's pretty quiet here.....

6:14 am

Scrabbler

I am crazy about this series--such a smart, well-written, well-done show!

6:14 am

rubyfoo

at first she wasn't much, but she is very muscular now and does amazing things -- cold-hearted, too

6:15 am

rubyfoo

the French say it's the BEST UK series!

6:15 am

Scrabbler

Ros is a perfect spy--ruthless!

6:15 am

rubyfoo

I'm glad they're showing it in the US. We never know what we'll get here, e.g. we had two seasons of Deadwood, but never got the third

6:16 am

Scrabbler

Oh, my, I must grab breakfast and then leave for work. Bye Babble buddies! Enjoy the day!

6:16 am

rubyfoo

Matthew McFadden was in the first season, but I never liked him much and also didn't like Adam's wife, Fiona.

6:16 am

FMitch

Bye Scrabs

6:16 am

rubyfoo

6:16 am

FMitch

ruby can you access the BBC's i-player on your PC?

6:16 am

rubyfoo

does anybody else like Deadwood? It was pretty rough but amazing

6:17 am

rubyfoo

I don't know

6:17 am

rubyfoo

I am a hopeless tech person. Fortunately, my son comes twice a year or so, to sort me out

6:17 am

FMitch

'cos if you can - you can watch lots of current BBC progs.

6:18 am

rubyfoo

The problem is that will keep me in my "lair" even more and husband will have a fit!

6:18 am

rubyfoo

speaking of which, I had better go.

6:18 am

Mark Jones

Trifioso

6:34 am

Trifioso

cheeky monkey!

6:34 am

Mark Jones

You said Mark. I got a little creeped out.

6:34 am

Trifioso

I used an appropriate comma!

6:35 am

Mark Jones

You are right, i am wrong. - Bob Brenly

6:35 am

zoozzoom

Ok got my cup of tea...now lets go find the last 39 words.

6:35 am

Trifioso

you can be my sister if you want. we have plenty of room

6:36 am

Mark Jones

I would rather be your brother.

6:36 am

FMitch

Mark hasn't got the legs for a dress Trif :)

6:36 am

Mark Jones

I'm too short;

6:36 am

FMitch

You're doing well zooz, I've hit the wall with 76 left.

6:36 am

Trifioso

brother is fine too. won't make you wear a dress either. A kilt maybe, but a dress? too cold around here!

6:37 am

scouser

Hi - just a short visit before lunch. Anyone want any clues?

6:37 am

Trifioso

hello scouser. I like your icon very much!

6:37 am

Mark Jones

I know. I have been to the frozen midlands of the U.S. during winter. It is absolutely horrible.

6:37 am

zoozzoom

already used one of your clues, Scouser..lol

6:38 am

FMitch

Oh lunch, now there is an idea. Hi scouser!

6:38 am

scouser

A modified clip-art - as near to the r**l Pushkin as I can do. He is large, and agoraphobic.

6:38 am

FMitch

... and that is me off to the PB.

6:38 am

zoozzoom

id4 FM..PB..lol

6:38 am

Mark Jones

It is early in the morning here.

6:38 am

scouser

fine zoo

6:39 am

Trifioso

I went to college in Ohio, and in order to get to one class, I had to walk across the tennis facilities, which were about 40 courts laid out in a huge field, so NO protection from the wind at all. In the winter, my eyelashes would freeze SHUT. it was most disconcerting.

6:39 am

zoozzoom

and your id9 clue was excellent too.

6:40 am

Mark Jones

May I have that id9 clue?

6:40 am

scouser

I remember the freezing rain in Newfoundland - needed a newspaper to hide behind on walk home. Never seen th** in UK

6:40 am

Trifioso

whoa, zooz! I just got the id9, from your comment!

6:40 am

zoozzoom

over to you, Scouser.

6:40 am

scouser

thoughts with a travel book

6:40 am

zoozzoom

LOL, good going, Trif :-)

6:41 am

Mark Jones

Hey, I'm just 6. I have traveled, but no travel book;

6:41 am

FMitch

Don't pull the I am 6 card Mark

6:41 am

scouser

well, like the end of a sort of book

6:41 am

zoozzoom

lol..6 yeah right.

6:42 am

Mark Jones

Sorry. It was too good a moment.

6:42 am

Trifioso

Scouser, just reading your profile - if you lived in the States, you could get paid your weight in gold for the Latin abilities. we are so short of Latin teachers right now that it is a panic.

6:42 am

scouser

I thought you just gave him driving instructions - but it was Trif

6:43 am

Trifioso

huh?

6:44 am

scouser

Trif - I am not a classical Latin scholar - very specific for medieval stuff. Am a little long in tooth for transatlantic shift.

6:44 am

Mark Jones

Still don't have the id9.

6:44 am

scouser

no it was car.eeyore t

6:44 am

Trifioso

more's the pity. but still, even latin tutors for students are in short supply here

6:45 am

FMitch

Try morewords.com Mark as you now know the 1st 4 letters.

6:45 am

scouser

put thoughts together. Stand on your own and say them out loud. You have just created this word.

6:45 am

zoozzoom

id9 i+ d*** the cards + kyle min****

6:46 am

scouser

I suffer cos I haven't got a TV !

6:46 am

Mark Jones

Zooz, i don't know british actors!

6:47 am

Trifioso

sigh....imagine a world where you had never heard of those sisters!

6:47 am

zoozzoom

kyle min**** is an australian singer

6:47 am

scouser

kylie is aussie

6:47 am

FMitch

LOL Trif

6:47 am

Mark Jones

Oohhhh, sorry. Still don't know him.

6:47 am

scouser

Have you got the word yet Mark?

6:48 am

Mark Jones

Most of it, but not the last four letters.

6:48 am

zoozzoom

6:48 am

Mark Jones

Her.

6:48 am

FMitch

Think I will get some lunch, back in a bit.

6:48 am

Enjoy your meal, FM :-)

6:49 am

Mark Jones

Finally I have it! Thanks everyone!

6:49 am

scouser

My lunch is not ready yet.

6:49 am

zoozzoom

6:49 am

scouser

Goodly Mark.

6:49 am

redturtlehead

Oh so exciting a bigger grid, unfortunatly I do have to do to work at ome point!!!!!

6:50 am

scouser

Yes redturtle - and no s in the grid either.

6:51 am

redturtlehead

it is a blast so far, Hope I have the time to complete! I love the bigger ones...

6:51 am

zoozzoom

Yes you should finish, Red, i am finding it sort of easy, so you will fly through it.

6:52 am

Mark Jones

OK everybody, time for moi to leave. Very disappointing, I have 54 total. Goodbye everyone!

6:53 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Mark..it does not matter how many you get..it`s if you enjoyed doing the grid that matters.

6:53 am

scouser

A couple of unusal 4-letter words though requiring a quick trip to Lickety.

6:53 am

scouser

Cheers Mark.

6:54 am

zoozzoom

down to 12 and no lickety for me yet.

6:54 am

Trifioso

bye bro!

6:54 am

zoozzoom

lol

6:54 am

Trifioso

whoops- just noticed I have NBT, and NBS! yay me!

6:54 am

scouser

goodly zoo. I get too impatient.

6:55 am

zoozzoom

Good going , Trif.

6:55 am

zoozzoom

Yes the babblets can be tricky, Scouser.

6:55 am

scouser

Bye all.

6:55 am

Trifioso

the new meds must be kicking in, lol

6:56 am

zoozzoom

Take care, Scouser.

6:56 am

scouser

Just back to comment to zoo: super sentence on your profile. Had me laughing immediately.

6:57 am

MollyL

It is a good thought Zoom. Good morning all.

6:57 am

zoozzoom

yet so true...lol..thanks, Scouser :-)

6:57 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Molly :-)

6:57 am

mrswhiski

Good morning all - will someone please explain NBT and NBS. I know it's been done before but I keep forgetting. This time I'll take notes!

6:59 am

MollyL

Under the grid are "Tile Stats" NBT means you have one on each tile. Next to that are "Word Stats". One of each means you have NBS

6:59 am

zoozzoom

when you go pro, you have tile stats and word stats..NBT= no blank tiles in the tile stats...NBS is no blank stats.

7:00 am

redturtlehead

Oh crud, I must go off to that work thing. My 2 hour repireve is over. and I have errr 77 words only!

7:00 am

zoozzoom

Work will fly by, Red, then you can continue the fun :-)

7:00 am

MollyL

A tile stat shows the letter, like the N in the top corner, and how many words you have gotten from that letter. It starts out 0/3 meaning you have zero of three words you can make with that N.

7:01 am

redturtlehead

zooz does not work where I work, but that for the thought...

7:01 am

zoozzoom

Just trying to keep your chin up, Red :-)

7:02 am

redturtlehead

:)

7:03 am

mrswhiski

Thanks for the info Molly & Zooz. I have gone pro. What I don't understand is why NBT and NBS should make me happy lol

7:04 am

MollyL

Well Mrs. Whiski, I can't say that I get that either. It's some sort of "landmark" that some people who play this game feel satisfied about. NBT is pretty easy to get in most grids and it only gets you 25 words.

7:04 am

zoozzoom

I find on the large grids, Mrswhiski, it is just another goal on the way to trying to finish the grid...and congrats on going, Pro..welcome aboard.

7:06 am

Trifioso

NBT is a huge deal for me, not sure why. Maybe it's an obsessive compulsive thing, but I find it hard to walk away from a new grid if I dont' have nbt.

7:06 am

mrswhiski

I've been Pro for a while. I think I'm what a lot of people call a "lurker". I just can't play & chat at the same time. Guess I'm just not a multi-tasker

7:06 am

Trifioso

most days I don't finish, but like to hit at least halfway, and nbt. nbs is just gravy

7:07 am

zoozzoom

like some people set themselfs a goal to get NBT before breakfast or some people will only list after they get over half way through the grid..people have different ways of doing the grid i suppose..lol

7:08 am

Trifioso

I think that is what makes it fun, zooz. we all have our own methods. I know kadresa always does the grid in alphabetical order....

7:09 am

zoozzoom

i prefer the words "Stealth Mode"..lol

7:09 am

zoozzoom

True, Trif.

7:09 am

Trifioso

:)

7:10 am

mrswhiski

Thanks Zooz - "Stealth Mode" sounds so much smarter!

7:10 am

zoozzoom

yw :-)...after all, lurker sounds rather sinister i fe4.

7:11 am

MollyL

Lurker really does sound nefarious.

7:11 am

dan2bit

and more polite than "ignoring the chat" mode :-)

7:11 am

Trifioso

reminds me of "stalker'

7:11 am

mrswhiski

Right you are and I'm already left-handed so I don't need to be more sinister! lol

7:11 am

Trifioso

oh, dan, look at your button!!! she is SO lovely!

7:11 am

MollyL

AWWWW!!!! Look at Baby 2Bit, snoozing away.

7:12 am

dan2bit

thanks all! she had a rough night last night, we are hoping she's not coming down with something :-(

7:13 am

MollyL

Could it be teeth Dan?

7:13 am

zoozzoom

My method of doing the grid is..just look at all the letters and see what i can find..checking chog all the time to see if any clues are being given..then i look at my word list and go back through to see if i can plural or add an `A` to the beginning and so on..lol

7:13 am

mrswhiski

that's my method too!

7:14 am

zoozzoom

Oh that is a sweet, picture, Dan2bit..hope she is not coming down with anything .

7:14 am

dan2bit

Molly - it could be, though early this morning she sounded a teeny bit congested. Could also be growth spurt or general crankypants

7:15 am

zoozzoom

`general crankypants`..LOL

7:15 am

dan2bit

we haven't seen any teeth yet, or even much in the way of angry gums

7:15 am

Trifioso

someone really should start a crankypants foundation....there is still no cure

7:15 am

mrswhiski

I'm off with 116 left. I'll be back though. Thanks for the chat. Make it a great day everyone!

7:15 am

MollyL

Ah yes, general crankypants. I do remember that my kids were pretty runny nosed when they cut teeth.

7:15 am

zoozzoom

Have a good day too, Mrswhiski :-)

7:16 am

dan2bit

hahah Trif - donations being accepted for the crankypants fun run

7:16 am

EvaNadine

mornin babblers!

7:16 am

Trifioso

and the general returns with a VENGEANCE when girly girls hit 13/14, so get ready dan!

7:16 am

zoozzoom

Hello, Eva :-)

7:16 am

Trifioso

THAT would be an entertaining run! I envision loads of parents, trying to outrun crankypanted toddlers and teens.

7:17 am

Trifioso

morning eva! thought of you yesterday, as I was installing my new twin draft guard thingie to garage door

7:17 am

zoozzoom

Trif, thats a great id4 giving, Dan2bit, 13 years to be prepared...LOL

7:17 am

Trifioso

I only wish I was kidding, zooz! (and dan....)

7:18 am

MollyL

I wish I could get one of those twin draft things. But my drafty door is my front door and I think it would look odd there.

7:18 am

Trifioso

who cares how it looks? they work pretty well

7:18 am

MollyL

Oh trust me, my fascist homeowners association would care.

7:19 am

zoozzoom

I know what you mean, Trif, i come from a very large family..so seen it all.

7:19 am

EvaNadine

molly -- we have a twin draft guard on our front door. you hardly even notice it.

7:19 am

dan2bit

thanks for the warning trif - my sister has a daughter 5 years ahead, so I'll also have an up close preview when button is in primary school, in case I need a refresher

7:20 am

MollyL

I'm going to place a bet that wee girlie Maggie pops three teeth at once in the next few weeks. You heard it here first. : P

Oops, Mom has gone poof.

8:36 am

EvaNadine

earth-shattering news, all!
i have finally gotten the hubby to agree to having the occasional soup dinner!

8:40 am

Nef

Good Morning Everyone. EvaN, you married someone who doesn't consider soup a meal? Or doesn't he like it?

8:42 am

EvaNadine

he has never been much of a soup fan. this time of year, i crave soups/stews, but he usually turns his nose up at them.
we have been having more conversations about cooking more at home for health and economical reasons, and i mentioned that soups are often very economical to make, especially since they are often made from things we end up tossing out...
he agreed to have the occasional soup (preferably more on the stew end of the spectrum) since i seemed to really want it. :)

8:42 am

Nef

Woo-Hoo for You!

8:43 am

EvaNadine

yeah, i mentioned that if i buy a whole chicken + cook it in the crock pot, thats several meals for us (one of which will be soup!)
minimal cooking for maximum meals + maximum savings -- thats my kinda math!

8:43 am

invictus

My boyfriend won't eat soups either.

8:44 am

EvaNadine

i also kinda mentioned that if he wants me to be mainly responsible for the cooking, then he needs to be more open to what i WANT to cook.

8:45 am

Riverdance

my husband loves soup but wont have it alone for a meal - must have something else to go with it - ugh...

8:45 am

Nef

that's the way I cook, EvaN; the less time I spend in the kitchen making meals, the happier I am.

8:46 am

Nef

River, does he eat salads? Soup & salads are the easiest (and healthiest) meals

8:46 am

EvaNadine

for anyone who is interested, this is the crockpot chicken recipe i found + am going to try:
http://tinyurl.com/4pha69p

8:46 am

Riverdance

yes but not for supper - he must have the typical starch, veg, protein (ie. meat/fish)

8:47 am

EvaNadine

what if you made the soup more of a stew? put veg + potatoes IN the soup?

8:47 am

invictus

That's the way mine is, only he also won't eat fish or pork.

8:47 am

Riverdance

once in a while I like having an omellete for supper - that is breakfast to him so is not happy

8:48 am

Nef

when we have our clinics at work, we bring meals. We rotate; but I end up bringing about 4 meals a month for our clients. I'd be sunk without having a crockpot full of soup as the main dish. (I run prenatal clinic in a non-profit pregnancy center for low income women).

8:48 am

Anniebrook

i love breakfasts for supper

8:48 am

invictus

We do breakfast for dinner sometimes, with either French toast or pancakes.

8:49 am

Riverdance

that is wonderful Nef

8:49 am

EvaNadine

my hubby is a super-picky eater. but since i get home first, he wants me to be the one responsible for making dinner.
i basically laid it out for him -- i dont like cooking, but im willing to take on that responsibility. that just means that you will eat what i cook and not complain about it. if i hear complaints, im done being the cook.

8:50 am

carleekat

good strategy eva...and morning

8:50 am

EvaNadine

i think we are both surprised at the meals he has enjoyed that he never would have eaten, had i not cooked them.

8:50 am

Riverdance

I've tried that too Eva - still cooking and listening to complaints after 24 years...lol

8:50 am

MollyL

WAY TO GO EVA!!! You are going to squelch the picky eater in that man yet.

8:51 am

Jivingjenny0

Eva, my 8 year old granddaughter is a VERY picky eater, and she tells me she is not allowed to say Yuk when her dinner is put in front of her, but it's alright to say it under her breathe!!

8:51 am

Nef

Good for you EvaN! Men are trainable, and teachable too! Sometimes dietary changes are hard; but if they get hungry enough; they may try it and find out that they can eat other food besides meat and potatoes

8:52 am

EvaNadine

there are definitely meals that he has said "can we please not have that again?" and thats fine. heck, sometimes even *I* dont enjoy it. but you can only have it one way -- if im the cook, i get to decide what we eat. i do take into account his pickiness, but i usually try to stretch the boundaries just a little with each meal.

8:53 am

EvaNadine

i guess i do it from my own experience -- i was a super-picky eater as a kid (just like your granddaughter, jenny!) and one day, i just made up my own mind to start trying new things -- and lo + behold, i liked them!

8:53 am

Riverdance

My husband is not a picky eater - he will eat anything - he is just a complainer....*throw my hands in the air *

8:53 am

MollyL

I wonder what the difference is in roasting a chicken that way and doing it in the crockpot. I usually only put tougher meats in the crockpot.

8:53 am

EvaNadine

molly -- ive never actually cooked a whole chicken before! so i figured the crockpot method was a less daunting first go at it. :)

8:54 am

Riverdance

I found a full chicken in the crock pot is very moist but also greasy

8:54 am

carleekat

no idea molls..i have never done one in the crock pot..although a friend of mine swore to chicken with a can of lemonade concentrate and garlic made THE BEST CHICKEN

8:54 am

Nef

my dtr's ex boyfriend was very picky; he wouldn't eat any vegetables at all. We didn't pander to him, and he actually didn't eat some meals (when we had stews and soup & salad meals. Luckily, they broke up. (too many ot*** issues too)

8:55 am

carleekat

my kids used to be super picky..but i always taught them..if you eat at someone elses house..BE POLITE..and eat what served

8:55 am

MollyL

Well, for one thing, the crockpot way of cooking that chicken is good for a work day. I freakin' LOVE to come home to the smell of something cooking.

8:55 am

Riverdance

I must get back to work - have a great day everyone

8:55 am

EvaNadine

my parents never cooked me a separate meal, but my dad would usually whip up a cheese sauce -- he discovered i would eat almost anything when smothered with cheese. ;)

8:55 am

carleekat

lo and behold....they would come home...mum..can you make green beans...or cauliflower

8:56 am

carleekat

i let the other parents do the dirty work...and now my kids eat tonnes of diff foods

8:56 am

EvaNadine

back to the grid for a moment, anyone have a clue for the E between the H and the J?

8:57 am

carleekat

the world minus a consonant eva

8:57 am

Nef

I can't find it either

lilliann

we never have them for breakfast, only lunch or tea

11:00 am

crosshair

i always have a large brekkie,med lunch,no tea time here of course in the britt sense that is and a very light supper

lilliann

i don't eat breakfast, sometimes a sarnie for lunch and my main meal at tea

11:01 am

crosshair

i hold the credo of "eat breakfast like a king,lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper"

11:02 am

MollyL

I hold to the belief that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. You've got to feed the machine.

11:13 am

lilliann

i blanche the asparagus first tho

11:14 am

flosey

Flask, try just blanching the asparagus so that it still has a bit of crunch to it, but not to the mushy stage which perhaps is what you don't like?

11:16 am

Flask1

I may try that yes!

11:16 am

11:43 am

flosey

oh, really lil, you must try it sometime - guess it's a north american thing

11:43 am

periwinkle

nice idea carlee

11:43 am

lilliann

oh cool carlee and a cheap way of doing it

11:43 am

periwinkle

did not know you could wash wool sweaters in the washing machine

11:43 am

MollyL

You can if you're felting them.

11:43 am

lilliann

i've never seen pumpkin pie here, i'll have to come to america to try it

11:44 am

carleekat

i spent 50.00 on 100% wool... i just want a nice lap throw.... to buy each sweater new would be 60-90.00 and to buy the yarn..well you just cant get 100% wool here anymore

11:44 am

carleekat

i am felting it peri...

11:44 am

periwinkle

hmm, never tried felting

11:44 am

carleekat

meaning..i INTEND to shrink and matte it

11:44 am

lilliann

handwash in the machine i would have thought you could peri

11:44 am

periwinkle

oh, ok

11:45 am

periwinkle

handwash in the machine?

11:45 am

lilliann

very thrifty carlee :)

11:45 am

carleekat

11:45 am

carleekat

so..the sweaters will come out to fit a youth ( bought mens XL and XXL )

11:46 am

MollyL

Carlee, you have more ambition than I do. Felting sounds very time consuming.

11:46 am

carleekat

and...i SHOULD have enough fabric to make a throw with 10 sweaters

11:46 am

periwinkle

so then you cut up the sweaters and piece them together?

11:46 am

carleekat

the washing machine doing the work..and way less intensive then knitting an afghan

11:46 am

carleekat

exactly peri

11:46 am

carleekat

hold on..will grab a link

11:46 am

flosey

so, when you shrink and matte knitted items, then cut, they will not unravel I presume?

11:47 am

lilliann

might just be the machines here then, but i've washed woolen jumper in it loads of times and they come out as they go in

11:47 am

MollyL

LMAO at the very idea of me knitting an afghan.

11:47 am

you can buy a throw for les money but it would not be wool

de6/30 is a pretty word - at least in the sense that we don't often see it in babble. but if you are caught in a de6/30 in life, it would be bad.

12:27 pm

rubyfoo

I have a studio full of unfinished projects; it's pathetic

12:28 pm

carleekat

i think by time you shipped it over and i shipped it back..the $ would be insane

12:28 pm

rubyfoo

hahahah hurshy

12:28 pm

carleekat

but..if u ever have anyone coming to my part of canada...

12:29 pm

hurshy

it's based on weight... for the volume, i wouldn't think these things would be that heavy, and if you can smush it into a flat rate box - well assuming canada and/or france have flat rate boxes as the US does...

12:29 pm

Boobear

hi all

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

hello boo

12:30 pm

carleekat

wool is heavy tho hurshy... i bought 10 sweaters....that was about 15-20 pounds

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

French postal rates are insane!

12:30 pm

lilliann

so carlee, is that the same as quilting but with wool and not fabric?

12:30 pm

carleekat

it was stretchng the handle of of a good quality plastic bag...

12:30 pm

MollyL

Heavy, shmeavy, shipping between the US and Canada is outrageous. I can only imagine what it is between Canada and the UK.

12:30 pm

carleekat

its called..greyhound molls

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

I am feeling inspired! Tomorrow I'm going to lay out the afghan squares and see how big it really is

12:31 pm

it's expensive between england and france

12:31 pm

FMitch

all postal and shipping rates are so so costly these days.

12:31 pm

FMitch

Hi Molly and Boo

12:31 pm

Boobear

hi FMitch

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

my sister used to be able to send me books from the US in an M bag. 10 books for about $12. But they stopped the service

12:32 pm

MollyL

Hi FM. Ruby, you could do a few squares a day. Pretty soon, you would be done.

12:32 pm

lilliann

ruby, is there not a patchwork club near you?

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

actually, there is!

12:32 pm

hurshy

well, it's really only right. what with the environmental impact and all. if people weren't somewhat discouraged from shipping, it would probably be bad.

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

now it costs as much to ship a book as to buy one!

12:33 pm

hurshy

more, sometimes, ruby. used book websites often have 99 cent books but you have to pay shipping.

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

you are making my creative juices flow, lol

12:33 pm

lilliann

my mam lives in france and she joined one and they go all over france to patchwork shows and sell their things, plus they all join in and help on bigger projects

12:34 pm

lilliann

but apparently fabric is cheaper here than in france, so my mam always buys loads when she comes over

12:34 pm

carleekat

anyway....all but 2 sweaters int he dryer now....2 needed another washing... then i do a load with the light beiges/ creams

12:34 pm

rubyfoo

the club here is in Menthon St. Bernard (the next village) and they have an exhibit every year. There is a Dutch woman in the village who does incredible patchwork

12:34 pm

hurshy

maybe fabric is cheaper in the UK but fabrique is cheaper in france.

12:34 pm

carleekat

sooo..exciting to see what pops out at the end...

12:35 pm

lilliann

quite right hurshy :)

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

I'm going to cull my sweaters and see what I have

12:36 pm

12:36 pm
