1:20 am

FMitch

1:22 am

crystalle

I am too tired to play today. Bye all I am going to finish tomorrow

1:23 am

jillibus

My parents thought about calling me Jean Elizabeth but decided the initials would be JEM (last name Murray) which might get teased, so picked that Gillian, second name begins with L -- initials GLM (glum)

1:23 am

dfmchfhf

aww... night crys! :o)

1:23 am

1:24 am

dfmchfhf

crys, is the emphasis on the first or second syllable of your name?

1:24 am

dfmchfhf

1:25 am

FMitch

lol but what about in real life?

1:26 am

FMitch

1:26 am

dfmchfhf

spoken, depends... usually don't mind my adapted English name 'Henry', sometimes prefer my surname though (weird, I know, I'm in no5 America!)

1:27 am

FMitch

Henry - I like that name it has substance.

1:27 am

jillibus

nbt, btw

1:28 am

dfmchfhf

I still prefer 'd'... it's monosyllabic...

1:28 am

dfmchfhf

(I end up calling everyone by essentially monosyllabic names...)

1:29 am

FMitch

true dfmbut you are wierd (in a good sense).

1:29 am

dfmchfhf

1:34 am

dfmchfhf

(see, my habit when playing Babble and running out of words... start looking for French words. I'd do Scottish, knowing Enable, but I don't know any, so French it is.)

1:35 am

jillibus

Cab was a jazz man -- used to get his audeince to sing along -- "Hi dee hi, ho dee ho" back in the 1940s

1:36 am

FMitch

sprite

hi rubyfoo, I agree.

6:23 am

sprite

how is the husband doing today? Is he enjoying being home? And how are you?

6:25 am

rubyfoo

he is eating like crazy, trying to regain the lost weight. He is happy to be home and is doing much better I think. I think I've been up and down the stairs 15 times already and it is only 1:30 OR SO.

6:26 am

rubyfoo

It was definitely a good idea to bring him home

6:26 am

sprite

lol, remember to keep taking care of yourself. You won't be any good to him if you don't. Very glad he is recuperating so well!

6:26 am

hi kje, good morning

6:27 am

rubyfoo

hellokje

6:27 am

rubyfoo

your advice was very helpful

6:27 am

sprite

not much of an advice, rubyfoo... just a gentle reminder to trust your instincts ;)

6:28 am

kje

glad he is doing better, ruby

6:29 am

kje

and home is def better than a hospital! (and family makes the best nurses)

6:29 am

rubyfoo

and kje sent me a wonderful article on geriatric care

6:30 am

sprite

ah great, that should help.

6:31 am

rubyfoo

I am making myself treats and resting whenever I can, but this is very hard

6:32 am

sprite

yes I can imagine it is. Is the nurse helpful?

6:32 am

kje

it is a lot of work... do you have anyone coming out to help you?

6:32 am

rubyfoo

yes, my housekeeper comes 4 mornings a week. Her son comes in the afternoon for an hour to bring in wood. My neighbor brought me a jelly donut. All very nice!

6:33 am

rubyfoo

the visiting nurse comes every day to "walk" him and massage his legs, so I think it's all under control.

6:33 am

sprite

sounds good.

6:33 am

rubyfoo

when people ask if they can help, I say yes!

6:34 am

lil*monkey

Ooooh! Send the jelly doughnut neighbor over here!

lil*monkey

6:45 am

rubyfoo

6:46 am

6:56 am

rubyfoo

sounds like part of the new testament

6:56 am

MollyL

Lilliann, are you using the heating pad on that? I did the same thing in the fall and the heating pad helped a lot.

6:56 am

lilliann

i don't have a heating pad molly

6:57 am

lil*monkey

sorry you are hurting cheeky :(

6:57 am

rubyfoo

have you tried those things that stick to you and heat up on their own? Every time a try a heating pad, it blows a fuse!

6:57 am

MollyL

See if someone can get you one. Or try warm, moist compresses.

6:57 am

lilliann

i'll get hubby to get me some of those pads

6:57 am

lil*monkey

good advice, ruby & MOlly

6:57 am

rubyfoo

put a towel in the microwave.....

6:57 am

lilliann

thanks molly and ruby :)

6:58 am

rubyfoo

those pads are wonderful and you can wear them under your clothes

6:58 am

MollyL

I hope it heals up soon Lilliann. I know how uncomfortable that is.

6:58 am

lilliann

i'm not too bad when i'm still and i spend most of the time sitting or lying down anyway

6:58 am

lilliann

thanks molly

7:00 am

MollyL

The general rule for any muscle tissue that is torn or strained is to immobilize it. But you can't exactly immobilize your chest. Hence, the longer healing time.

7:01 am

rubyfoo

2 more and I can go and lie down!

7:01 am

lilliann

no, the coughing doesn't help!

7:02 am

rubyfoo

hot water, honey and whiskey for the cough

7:02 am

rubyfoo

are you old enough?

7:03 am

kje

do you have the eq?

7:03 am

lilliann

can't stand whiskey, but i have had alot of lemon and honey

7:03 am

MollyL

The eq is a nasty word.

Kazzer99

bye bye all - see you tomorrow

7:07 am

rubyfoo

better thanks, kaz, but I am sorry tokeep monopolizing the chat. Husband is home, eating like a champ, an nurse is visiting every day. We will get through this

7:07 am

MollyL

It always makes me chuckle when I'm cooking breakfast and you all are fixing lunch.

7:08 am

rubyfoo

7:08 am

lilliann

you're not monopolising the chat ruby.we like to know how he is doing and if you are ok

7:08 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

7:08 am

Kazzer99

i like lunch - no arguments - he wouldnt go shopping this morning and so we have no bread and so he will have to have soup for lin

7:08 am

Kazzer99

i like lunch - no arguments - he wouldnt go shopping this morning and so we have no bread and so he will have to have soup for lin

7:08 am

MollyL

Ruby, you do not monopolize chat talking about your husband. Only the grumpy, "only talk about Babble" people would think that and who gives a rats ass about them?

7:08 am

lilliann

roast beef and yorkshire puds here molly

7:08 am

Kazzer99

oops for lunch and he wont be happy

7:09 am

rubyfoo

I've stopped asking, I make things he likes and I can carry and that are good for him, slipping in the occasional mayonaise

7:09 am

Kazzer99

we very rarely have a roast lunch on Sundays now - as we tend to eat our main meal in the evening

7:09 am

Kazzer99

but i must go

7:09 am

rubyfoo

love yorkshire pudding!!!!

7:09 am

lilliann

then he'll have to go shopping kazzer

7:09 am

lil*monkey

oh me too ruby!

7:10 am

MollyL

Oh, now I'm craving yorkshire.

7:10 am

lil*monkey

love roast beef w/ yorkie pudding

7:10 am

rubyfoo

husband is soooo skinny that it's scary

7:10 am

rubyfoo

is it hard to make?

7:10 am

rubyfoo

first you have to catch the small dog.....

7:10 am

lil*monkey

i like to make it in a muffin pan so they are individual yorkshire puddings... ruby it is SO EASY to make

7:10 am

lilliann

we haven't had a roast for a while.i've been cooking alot of stews and casseroles lately and was getting fed up with them, but the bairn and hubby like them

7:10 am

rubyfoo

I'll look it up, even have a muffin pan

7:10 am

MollyL

Those are popovers Lil.

7:11 am

lil*monkey

no, different recipe Molly

7:11 am

lilliann

feed him up on yorkshire puds ruby, he'll soon put the weight on :)

7:11 am

rubyfoo

what's the diff between popovers and yorkshire pudding

7:11 am

MollyL

Really? I didn't know that.

7:11 am

rubyfoo

he's on a banana binge now, but that can't hurt him

7:12 am

lilliann

you can make a big one in a round cake tin

7:12 am

lil*monkey

Molly, york pudding has beef drippings in it

7:12 am

lil*monkey

otherwise, recipe is about the same

7:12 am

MollyL

If he's craving bananas he's probably low on potassium. But they won't put weight on him.

7:12 am

rubyfoo

could you use beef bouillon for some of the liquid?

7:12 am

lilliann

i make mine in little cake tins and i also have proper yorkie tins.really easy to make ruby

7:13 am

rubyfoo

he won't eat sweets or anything with butter or even egg yolks

7:13 am

rubyfoo

I hide the fattening ingredients (like when I roast a chicken and stuff it with shallots, onions and butter)

7:14 am

MollyL

Ruby, do you have access to a dietician. I'm pretty sure they can recommend some weight gain drinks.

7:14 am

rubyfoo

he won't drink those, not even home-made smoothies with yoghurt and banadas

7:15 am

rubyfoo

he is very picky and used to be a fat man when I met him

7:15 am

lilliann

i just put 4 heaps spoonfuls of plain flour,pinch of salt, 2 eggs and start mixing and then i add milk and water til it's a thickish consistency.put the oil in the bottom of the tins and heat until hot, whisk the mixture until it's bubbly and pour in and cook on high heat for 20-25 mins and mine always rise to humungus things

7:15 am

MollyL

Wow, he's stubborn. Does he understand that his low weight is unhealthy?

7:16 am

rubyfoo

it's not for no reason that we have chow chows, an extremely stubborn breed. Maybe he's part chow....

7:17 am

suefrad625

good day all

7:17 am

rubyfoo

he finally realizes it, but up to now he was really vain about being slim

7:17 am

rubyfoo

hello sue

7:17 am

lilliann

hi sue

7:18 am

Jacula

Hi all. Lil - I always make my Yorkies with all milk and a bit of melted butter. Was just thinking it might be handy for Ruby to use that method to add more calories to it.

7:18 am

tee_jay

ooh. yorkshire pudding is my favorite. sadly, my mom and i cannot find my grandmother's recipe and it hasn't been the same since.

7:18 am

7:23 am

Jacula

'Bye Ruby.

7:24 am

lilliann

yes, the batter should start to cook when you pour it in

7:24 am

lilliann

bye ruby

7:24 am

Jacula

And Ruby, use hot fat from the meat to cook the Yorkie in.

7:25 am

Jacula

I hope it's not a case of too many cooks spoiling the broth/Yorkie now! LOL

7:25 am

suefrad625

I thought chiwawa puppies where less fat

7:26 am

lilliann

i like to put finely chopped onions in mine too, for something different! i was thinking the same thing jac! lol

7:26 am

Jacula

LOL, Sue.

7:26 am

Jacula

Lil - I do that when making Toad in the Hole, sometimes.

7:27 am

tee_jay

7:27 am

lilliann

i haven't done it with toad in the hole jac, i'll have to do that next time i cook it

7:27 am

Jacula
