my door cat had kittens seven weeks ago, and tonight she is acting the same way as she did the night before she had 5 kittens

1:19 am

cybernan

dee -- have all the 7's you called except for a third te -- what am I missing? (have the ai)

1:21 am

VolleymomDee

here is what the website says: How Long is the Gestation Period

The standard gestation period for cats is about 60 to 70 days, the equivalent of about two months. This will be a period of ups and downs for your pregnant cat. She may go from being contented and affectionate, to agitated, and back again during this time.

One thing you can be relieved about is that you won't have to deal with the annoyances of a female cat in heat during that time. A cat will not go into heat again until after the babies are born. http://www.petyak.com/cats/kittens/ges
tation-period-for-cats.aspx

1:21 am

bethn

joey, cats usually go into heat at specific times of year. Kittens are usually born in the very early spring (like yours) or later in the early fall in my experience. I don't think she could be pregnant with new babies. I think gestation is 90 days. Of course I am not a doctor, I only play one on TV : )

1:21 am

cybernan

The lex I play is in FB -- I'll start one with you, ruby, next time I go there.

rubyfoo

do you use the same name?

2:24 am

jillibus

I do NOT play every day -- sometimes not for weeks!

jillibus

I've been so busy with new computer woes etc, and the Babble grids have been so huge or so hard, plus all the regular chores, that I haven't been lexing lately

mrp, I'm not the one with the regular schedule -- that's rubyfoo. But time doesn't matter on FB lex...

2:29 am

rubyfoo

I do very little beside gardening, cooking, reading and playing games. And yesterday the gorgeous heron came back! It is amazing to see such a big bird in our garden; he is magnificent!!

2:29 am

mrpresident

it is 5.30pm tuesday here

2:29 am

flosey

what colour is your heron, ruby

2:29 am

mrpresident

oh sorry jilli!! looking at wrong chat!! my apologies

2:30 am

jillibus

no prob, mrp!

2:30 am

rubyfoo

mostly grey but with white and blue bands on the shoulders and a yellow crest. They call it "heron cendre"

2:30 am

jillibus

how fabulous, ruby!

2:30 am

flosey

back in Ontario, we had a green one from time to time in the creek behind our home

2:31 am

flosey

here we have blue/grey

2:31 am

rubyfoo

the nice thing about lex on FB is that you can play whenever you want and leave messages with the games, so both the chats and games are greatly attenuated

2:31 am

jillibus

hey, gang -- did you notice? There wasn't a hiccup -- or did I miss it while having my banana break?

2:32 am

Glantarell

there was a hiccup

2:32 am

rubyfoo

my husband had a small green one in Miami that ate ALL his fish in his pond. I've put the antique bronze one back on the pond as well as Sally's pond nets and the fish are just being careful, not being eaten

2:32 am

jillibus

I guess I missed it then

2:32 am

flosey

you must have missed it jilli, I had red boxes, had to go out and come back

2:32 am

rubyfoo

there was but yu were having your M & B!

2:32 am

jillibus

godd timing, eh?

2:32 am

jillibus

*good

2:33 am

flosey

you have it down pat, jilli

2:34 am

rubyfoo

only 63 words but I had better get dressed. Hope to see you later, either here or in Lex, folks

2:35 am

jillibus

2:40 am

mrpresident

2:42 am

2:42 am

3:22 am

jillibus

*Unpoof...if ruby comes back and anyone here sees her, please tell her I tried to start a Lex game with "nelliekelly" on FB but it didn't work. A search turned up lots of Nellie Kellys (none were her) but no nelliekelly. Sigh!

3:23 am

jillibus

*repoof*

3:29 am

vanillaslice

hi everyone, dropped out there a while ago. Come back because ou6/27 is bothering me. Any clues?

3:30 am

Haz1558

ou6/27 - in the mental maths competition the winner was the one who could ou6/27 the rest.

3:31 am

nice Haz TY

3:31 am

Hello everyone

3:31 am

Haz1558

You're welcome - evening lynxxx.

3:33 am

vanillaslice

ty Haz what a funny word

3:33 am

Haz1558

Glad the clue worked, vanilla.

3:35 am

vanillaslice

yes, thanks, can now happily leave the last three to later -- poof

3:35 am

Haz1558

Bye, vanilla.

3:42 am

rubyfoo

back for a few {{lynxxx}}

3:42 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby

3:43 am

rubyfoo

if jilli comes back, pls tell her it's kelley with an "e"! hahah

3:44 am

rubyfoo

nothing like having a really common name! Did you know that in the US there is a Jim Johnson convention held every year and there are 1000's of them?

3:46 am

lynxxx

I lucked out both Maiden and Married names. Managed to name both my kids with the most popular names in their respective birth years. PS Ruby was our most common girls name last year - Jack for the boys name

3:47 am

rubyfoo

that is so funny. When I named the black dog Max, I thought I was being original. It is the most common dogs' name in France and the US and for little boys , too.

3:47 am

rubyfoo

Johnny Depp's boy is named Jack and his daughter is Lily Rose

3:48 am

rubyfoo

My first dog was Rosie

3:48 am

lynxxx

I guess everyone else thinks they are being fairly original as well as ourselves!

3:49 am

rubyfoo

the French have gone wild since they stoped requiring babies to have saints' names. Now they make up names, just like Americans, and use Ashley and Enzo and Mia (or variations) a lot

3:49 am

rubyfoo

I named my son plain old John!

3:49 am

rubyfoo

not Jon or Johnny.....

3:50 am

rubyfoo

I['ve never liked my name, hence all the nicknames. There were 3 Nancy's in my elem school class

3:50 am

Kazzer99

morning all - my son is called richard - i chose that so that it sounded okay for a little lad and for when he was grown up

3:51 am

lynxxx

morning Kazz

3:51 am

rubyfoo

hello kaz, does he have nicknames?

3:51 am

granadan

I have a Michael, Zak Alfie and Christian - but he's so naughty "playgloop" reckon he comes from t'other place so we call him Joew until the terrible twos are over with ;)

3:52 am

rubyfoo

there were a lot of Richards when I was little and they were often called Richie!

3:52 am

Kazzer99

i couldnt use John cos that was my bro's name. yes he good - some of the good and some of them a bit sad - he was called Pooh when he was little - from Winnie the Pooh and my nieces call him Fishy cos they cant say Richard cos of a speech impediment

3:52 am

rubyfoo

I love Zak Alfie, what a great (and original) name!

3:53 am

rubyfoo

I call both dogs Poopy!

3:53 am

granadan

Sorry - lack of punctuation, that should say Zak and Alfie... sorry!

3:53 am

lynxxx

BBL Dinners is on

3:53 am

rubyfoo

still good!

3:54 am

rubyfoo

bon appetit, Lynxxx!

3:54 am

Kazzer99

my friends little boy is Zak. Also in his time my son has been called Rick, Ritchie, Dick and unforetunately but funnily Dickie the SheepBoy

3:55 am

rubyfoo

Dickie the Sheepboy is my favorite

3:55 am

rubyfoo

is Zak actually Zachary on the birth certificates?

3:55 am

Kazzer99

he also hates being called dick so thats the one we use most often to wind him up

3:55 am

Kazzer99

my friends Zak is Zak

3:55 am

rubyfoo

John's name is so common, that he uses his middle name (Reed) with it

3:56 am

granadan

Just Zak for mine - no middle name. And Alfie isnt an Alfred. I'm still not so sure I like that.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

gee, that's what I call my DH! hahah

3:56 am

rubyfoo

that is interesting about Zak

3:56 am

granadan

I believe all little boys need a good first name that can be shortened, so they KNOW when Mum is really ticked off!

3:57 am

Kazzer99

richard has 3 middle names - Stephen, Thomas and Robert. \my name is Karen which i hate and my middle name is Maureen - thats my mums name and she is Maureen Shirley as Maureen O'Hara and Shirley Temple

3:58 am

granadan

Oh I love the name Karen - it's on my shortlist if I ever have alittle girl

3:58 am

rubyfoo

what our parents don't know when they name us!!! I would have prefered Naomi or Natalie

3:58 am

Kazzer99

that's a good point Gran - i only ever call Richard Richard when i needed to have stern words with him

3:58 am

rubyfoo

Karen is a lovely name but I have a friend named Kareen (???)

3:59 am

Kazzer99

well Karen was a good escape from Kalinka

3:59 am

granadan

I got Jane and I love it. Lucky me.

3:59 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, kaz is in the PB. I'll make you some fresh coffee

4:00 am

rubyfoo

very lucky - not faddish. If I had had a daughter, she would have been Elizabeth (for my mother, Libbie) Helen (for husband's mother

4:00 am

Kazzer99

oops sorry - didnt even think about that and i had to reread the posts to see what i did

4:00 am

rubyfoo

forgiven, kazzer!

4:01 am

rubyfoo

but do you drink espresso?

4:01 am

granadan

I'm lost there Karen LOLs - PB?

4:01 am

rubyfoo

using a word in the chat that's in the grid. Some days it's impossible to avoid and, occasionally, somebody's name is in it, e.g. peri

4:02 am

granadan

LOls - okay ta. We almost have herein today...

4:02 am

Kazzer99

love expresso - i dropped a word in the chat that i shouldnt have

4:02 am

rubyfoo

and I was looking for heron....uh oh, thirsty hoofbeats upstairs! see you laer

4:03 am

Kazzer99

bye ruby

4:03 am

rubyfoo

and my expresso comes with "George"! hahah, I wish

4:03 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

4:03 am

granadan

Need to get up to date with the lingo - I often babble but dont post much as unless Im feeling very on the ball I tend to pout my words in the text box ;(

4:12 am

Kazzer99

i dont always post - depends on my mood and time constraints - some times i only have a chance to babble for 20 minutes at a time and if its a big grid I'd rather get on with it

4:14 am

jillibus

*unpoof again*... MESSAGE FOR RUBY... I tried to start a Lex game on FB with nelliekelly and it didn't work. I did a search for that name and got a lot of Nellie Kellys, none of whom lived where you do, and a lot of whom were private. Sigh!

4:14 am

jillibus

Dang -- missed ruby again!!!

4:14 am

Kazzer99

jilli she posted earlier its kelley

4:16 am

jillibus

Oh thanks, Kazzer -- I'll try again! *re-repoof*

4:20 am

jillibus

"No matches found" for nelliekelley either :-(

lol :D Well, I thought people might prefer not to get a real biggie without trying to find it theirselves first ;)

5:33 am

mrpresident

I will message you through facebook jilli

5:34 am

sprite

I think jilli is asleep, mrP.

5:34 am

MollyL

I understand Sprite. Sometimes I turn chat off this early when lots of the big clues are being given so I can try to find them on my own.

5:34 am

sprite

if I play early in the babble day, I do the same.

5:35 am

MollyL

Just for today, I had found the one Kazz mentioned, so I am still a "virgin" : P

5:35 am

5:39 am

oh and I didn't flush a clue, just a wrong-box mistype of the full word :)

5:42 am

mrpresident

what is 'flush a clue'?

5:42 am

sprite

hello mrP.
Molly just said I 'flushed' the chog. I made a grid word disappear by entering several posts.

5:43 am

licketySplitAUS

Hi everyone

5:43 am

sprite

hello lickety

5:43 am

mrpresident

ah! got it

5:43 am

mrpresident

hi lickety!! miss you!

5:43 am

licketySplitAUS

Hi sprite - Long time - how are things on your side of the planet?

5:44 am

sprite

mostly moving in the right direction, but right now things are kinda shaky.
I heard you had some serious trouble :(

5:44 am

Norma

Hi Mrp and LIckety long time no see ... how are things with your fire ??

5:45 am

licketySplitAUS

Hi Norma, fire is in the past now - just a bad memory

5:45 am

mrpresident

serious trouble... indeed. i would rather have anmesia than keep reliving that thing

5:46 am

Norma

It takes a while to get over something like that, my thoughts were with you

5:46 am

licketySplitAUS

Only through hard times can we grow stronger

5:46 am

sprite

anyone arrested?

5:46 am

licketySplitAUS

sprite - no - no evidence, case dropped

5:47 am

sprite

darn. That sucks.

5:47 am

mrpresident

we now have new issues... which are adding to the stress, and unfortunately, non of the new stresses are any of our fault in any way... just have to deal

5:47 am

mrpresident

there was evidence, but the links couldn't be established, the case is suspended

5:47 am

sprite

I know the kind, mrP. Very frustrating and unfair.

5:48 am

licketySplitAUS

mrp - I read something the other day, something that has put a spark of an idea in my mind.

5:48 am

mrpresident

as long as it is a 'safe' spark

5:48 am

Norma

LOL

5:48 am

Norma

LOL

5:48 am

licketySplitAUS

There are some major regional towns that are trying to promote sydney siders to move in,

5:48 am

licketySplitAUS

there was even talk of a possible relocation bonus - government offered.

5:49 am

Norma

Are things that bad you would consider relocating ??

5:49 am

licketySplitAUS

I'm thinking that there must be good schools, and with what I say today about a global classroom, it could be worth looking into to.

5:49 am

mrpresident

I love where I am... do you really think we should move?? and regional??

5:50 am

licketySplitAUS

I could get work easy, and we could start fresh. Towns that are mentioned where Dubbo or Wagga Wagga

5:50 am

licketySplitAUS

It has to be a large rural town of course to offer the kids the oportunities

5:50 am

mrpresident

no friggin way!!!

5:51 am

mrpresident

I will move to Lake Macquarie, Somersby, Morriset.... Tuggerah, but not Dubbo, not for anything

5:51 am

licketySplitAUS

Norma - the cost of living in this city is rediculous. It's almost impossible for new families to buy their own home in an area that is safe.

5:51 am

mrpresident

Wagga Wagga is a farming community

5:52 am

Norma

We have friends that have visited Aus and they couldn't believe how expensive things were

5:52 am

licketySplitAUS

Location is only important to be close to family and good resources for kids.

5:52 am

mrpresident

I would rather move to Forster

5:53 am

mrpresident

Taree even

5:53 am

licketySplitAUS

mrp - sure - why not.

5:53 am

mrpresident

Look at Mermaid Pool near Lake Macquarie

5:53 am

licketySplitAUS

I've got this intuition - this feeling that it's just what we need.

5:54 am

mrpresident

I want to stay close to Sydney... have my opportunities there

5:54 am

mrpresident

another epiphony ??

5:54 am

licketySplitAUS

what opportunites exactlt?

5:55 am

licketySplitAUS

anyways - it's a spark to breed, something to think about

5:55 am

mrpresident

lickety, this is a discussion for another time... I need to stop thinking about this for now

5:56 am

licketySplitAUS

one point though : how good are the kids lives going to be if their parents are stressed out?

5:56 am

licketySplitAUS

Positive thinking - that's all I'm focusing on - and not afraid of change - one that we have some control over.

5:57 am

mrpresident

how good are the kids education going to be other than where they are?? we can argue this, but I don't want to... they are staying at the school they are in because they are top acheivers of the year they are in.

5:58 am

licketySplitAUS

That means that you are no open to the idea just yet

5:58 am

mrpresident

their friends are very good people and we have very smart kids with great friends. We stay until their education is done...

5:59 am

mrpresident

we can move! sure! but they have to be on the train line to get to school.

5:59 am

licketySplitAUS

... indeed. ;-) I Love you!

5:59 am

mrpresident

love you too! glad you see the side of making sure the kids are getting the best out of life

6:01 am

hey what's going on here?

6:01 am

hi dJean

6:01 am

mrpresident

i am off to lex myself to sleep... maybe even have a vodka with your dad whilst playing poker or 21.

6:01 am

licketySplitAUS

Well - I hope the Babblers didn't mind that little bit of chog log ;-) I have more opinions and more ideas - but it's early on.

6:01 am

licketySplitAUS

ok mrp - nite!

6:01 am

bye mrP

6:02 am

mrpresident

nite hunny! sleep well please! luv ya

6:02 am

bye you lovely people good luck

6:02 am

mrpresident

see you all later!! :))

6:03 am

and bye lickety too

6:03 am

EspritdJean

somebody give me the Reader's Digest version of what's going on?

6:03 am

licketySplitAUS

bye all!

6:04 am

sprite

the very RD then... lickety and mrP had a scary experience when some idiot set fire to th5 car and almost home. They were just having a private conversation about moving away from said idiot and people like him.

6:05 am

EspritdJean

um "private"?

6:06 am

sprite

as private as it can be in babble chog

6:07 am

EspritdJean

don't they live in the same house? :-0

6:07 am

sprite

lol yes, but right now they aren't at the same place.

6:07 am

EspritdJean

ah.........

6:08 am

Norma

Sometimes it helps to put ideas down in black and white that stops the disagreement escalating ...

6:08 am

mrpresident

ok... Jean, we were firebombed a month ago and car desintegrated and side of house on fire, but no one hurt.... however we found out it was deliberately set only 2 foot from our house, our car was used as a bomb so someone hates us.
Then Lickety's contract hasn't been paid in 3 months... financial stress incredible!
Then, I find out I have cervical cancer and PCOS and have to go to hospital, with no money to pay doctors or hospital excess, and I am terrified.
The whole things has broken me and Mark is breaking but holding together.
Shit happens in 3's apparently, so nothing else better get us down.

6:09 am

EspritdJean

oh that is a lot!!

6:09 am

EspritdJean

I'm so sorry to hear

6:09 am

EspritdJean

I know some days the burdens seem unbearable

6:10 am

sprite

way too much

6:11 am

EspritdJean

some days you just shake your head and scream "WTF?"

6:12 am

mrpresident

exactly jean... and cry for hours and shake and get mad as hell... but thankfully my friends are helping me through and my doctor is on top of things to keep me from doing God knows what.

6:13 am

EspritdJean

good to have the support...none of us would be still standing without it

6:13 am

oh mrp. I haven't been around much and so didn't know. I am so,so sorry to hear what you have been and are going through. It must feel unbearable, and yet you bear it. So glad to hear that you have people around you who are holding you through this. My heart and thoughts are with you.

6:20 am

6:53 am

Trifioso

6:55 am

Trifioso

do we have any babblers from sydney, does anyone know?

6:55 am

crosshair

whats going on in sydney today?

6:56 am

herinfernallady

MR PRES> DO NOT MOve to Dubvegas it is boring and Waga is the arse of the world and Newcastle is bloody expensive

6:56 am

Trifioso

secondo may do a school semester in perth next year, living with her auntie and uncle. I can put her on the plane here in boston, have someone to help her at the airport in LA, but would love someone to catch her in sydney and see she makes the plane to perth all right

6:56 am

crosshair

we have toronto= the belly button on the universe lol

6:57 am

uusue2

sounds exciting, trif! How wonderful for her!

6:57 am

bichon

I thought Toronto was supposed to be nice, but I've never been there

6:57 am

Trifioso

it isnt all arranged just yet, merely in the planning and praying stages

6:58 am

crosshair

think of it like philly and you are close bichon

6:58 am

herinfernallady

And Mr Pres Centrelink is great in a crisis if you know the system

6:58 am

uusue2

I've been there, bichon, and liked it; belly buttons aren't all bad :-)

6:58 am

Trifioso

but thanks, uusue, if it all comes together it will be faboooooo

6:58 am

herinfernallady

Trifs Send the boy to melb :D

6:58 am

Trifioso

it's my daughter, herin, and certainly I will check and see if that is an option from LAX

6:59 am

crosshair

you in melbourne herin? cause i must visit the place that carries my name some day

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Yep

6:59 am

herinfernallady

Is this the older Teen or the younger?

6:59 am

crosshair

cool

7:00 am

Trifioso

my kids are 18, almost 15 and almost 12, and it is the one in the middle we are discussing

7:01 am

crosshair

what a wonderful adventure for a 15 year old;))

7:01 am

herinfernallady

I will take the 12 year old and the 18 year old :D 15 year olds scare me

7:01 am

car.eeyore

I wanted Trif to send me, but she won't.

7:02 am

Trifioso

it's so cool! the high school right down the road from my bil's is the performing/visual arts high school, so she could study photography when she is there. if that isn't a sign from God to proceed, I don't know what is

7:02 am

herinfernallady

AwwwCaree

7:02 am

Trifioso

you haven't spent much time with 12 year olds, have you herin dear? LOLOLOL

7:02 am

herinfernallady

I say do it. Does the school do Cultural exchange?

7:03 am

Trifioso

we are investigating that now, herin.

7:03 am

crosshair

12 years old girls are horrible...this is when hubbys move out and ask for a call when they are 18 or so

7:03 am

herinfernallady

I think it is called International Exchange. You get a small help from the school

7:03 am

Trifioso

usually you have to audition/interview/ all the rest. but they do take what they call "local intake students" and they are only a block away.....she will go all that way, just to be a "townie!"

7:03 am

car.eeyore

The 12 YO is fine....as long as she isn't with her mom! Typical 12 YO behavior!

7:04 am

Trifioso

and she will most likely have to do some summer school on this end, as american history is required here in 10th grade, but not so much in perth, I am thinking

7:04 am

herinfernallady

Nice

7:05 am

Trifioso

and of course we have to get "the father" to sign off on it....that will be fun

7:05 am

crosshair

who would deny a 15 year old a oppirtunity like that?

7:06 am

crosshair

damn typos

7:06 am

herinfernallady

One of my best friends from Iowa was an exchange student in 94 still friends to this day

7:06 am

car.eeyore

<----- holding tongue about former bil

7:06 am

herinfernallady

Does anyone remember Principal Synider in Buffy?

7:06 am

Trifioso

crossy, my dear, there is NO END to what that man will deny, and to whom

7:06 am

crosshair

;(

7:07 am

crosshair

i would sell the furniture if my boy had a chance to go down under

7:07 am

Trifioso

susan, my sil, is sort of pushing for her to come in june, for our summer break, but it's winter there, and we are going to need a lot more than just a month to um....fund raise, as it were

7:07 am

Trifioso

and that is why we love you, crossy! Mr Hate would sell the kids to get what HE needs -- and therein lies the difference

7:08 am

car.eeyore

I need a clue for the i in the second row please for NBT?

7:08 am

crosshair

awww..shucks....

7:08 am

uusue2

can't you just forge his signature or something?

7:08 am

Trifioso

it's an ix4 car

7:08 am

uusue2

(I mean, I know you can't, but it would certainly be tempting!)

7:08 am

crosshair

do not forget travel ins!!!

7:08 am

car.eeyore

He would throw Trif's ass in jail for taking the child

7:08 am

Trifioso

bascially just throw some nonsense letters at the screen. that's how I got it

7:08 am

Trifioso

very tempting, uusue.

7:09 am

Trifioso

oh, that's a good point, car

7:09 am

car.eeyore

...just to make a scene

7:09 am

Kaplan the Magne

good morning babblers

7:09 am

car.eeyore

7:09 am

car.eeyore

sorry...what's the second letter?

7:09 am

car.eeyore

7:09 am

uusue2

7:09 am

car.eeyore

NM! Got it! TY!

7:09 am

car.eeyore

Morning Kaplan!

7:09 am

Trifioso

I am trying to imagine the part where I actually put her on a plane. Have visions of myself standing there having to repeat "I never watched Lost, I never watched Lost" until I get up the courage to actually let her get on the plane

7:10 am

crosshair

ty for the ix..there is only one afer all:)

7:10 am

herinfernallady

Trifs do you need both parents to sign off on passports?

7:10 am

Trifioso

she has a passport. no worries there

7:10 am

uusue2

lol, trif!

7:10 am

Trifioso

and it's HIS family, after all....

7:10 am

Uneaixoise

trif, after putting me on the plane to France in 1967, my mom would weep copiously whenever she heard "leavin' on a jet plane . . . " :-)

7:11 am

Trifioso

well, yeah, une!

7:11 am

Uneaixoise

crossing fingers and toes that this works out for her -- such an incredible opportunity

7:11 am

uusue2

ah, well, that does complicate things (if it's his family), although can't they talk him into it if he balks? in fact putting the ball in their court might not be a bad tactic

7:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

Crying because she wasn't going to France herself no doubt...

7:12 am

Uneaixoise

hardly LOL

7:12 am

Trifioso

I am just focusing positive energy on this whole thing. Secondo really wants this, and I want it for her. If it is meant to be, it will be so. If not, she will have to wait and go another time.

7:12 am

herinfernallady

Just stuff her on a plane then LD

7:12 am

Kaplan the Magne

What has happened to Mr President? I caught the tail end of something.

7:12 am

Trifioso

what's LD?

7:13 am

car.eeyore

; D I believe

7:13 am

herinfernallady

7:22 am

car.eeyore

Wahoo! I remembered the needle case all by myself today!

7:23 am

Trifioso

car, did you watch the video I put on FB yesterday?

7:23 am

MollyL

I must be living in the Twilight Zone today. The ed version of that word doesn't work for me.

7:23 am

car.eeyore

No. Haven't been on FB.

7:23 am

Trifioso

I can't stop watching it. LOVE me some Dolly Parton....

7:24 am

7:24 am

car.eeyore

Me too! Will check it out later though.

7:24 am

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, your right, - I am in twilight zzone.

7:24 am

Kaplan the Magne

My mistake.

7:24 am

herinfernallady

Work is interesting

7:25 am

herinfernallady

Une that is great

7:25 am

MollyL

Say hello to my friend Rod then.

7:25 am

Kaplan the Magne

Did you ever see the "Night Gallery" with the creepy doll? Gave me nightmares!

7:25 am

car.eeyore

Trif...do you need any driving help today?

7:26 am

herinfernallady

I liked the gremlin one

7:26 am

car.eeyore

I believe Kadresa still has nightmares from that show!

7:26 am

Trifioso

Primo is doing it, but I really appreciate the offer

7:27 am

Kaplan the Magne

And then there was a lovely one from Conrad Aiken's "Silent Snow Secret Snow"- a story

7:27 am

Trifioso

ohhh, night gallery! Sh7 44......

7:28 am

herinfernallady

I have a question please

7:28 am

car.eeyore

OK....I really need to focus on some arthritis reports now...especially since the house is quiet.

7:28 am

car.eeyore

Yes, herin....

7:28 am

uusue2

yes, herin?

7:29 am

herinfernallady

How long does one need to keep bills and bank statements

7:29 am

herinfernallady

Please and thankyou

7:29 am

Kaplan the Magne

supposedly 7 years but I don't see the point

7:29 am

Kaplan the Magne

Or maybe it's 3 years?

7:29 am

car.eeyore

I heard 7 years.

7:29 am

MollyL

The "Night Gallery" with the creepy doll is classic horror.

7:30 am

herinfernallady

I mean realistically. As in doesn't the company like the bank hold them any way?

7:30 am

car.eeyore

OK. I am off! *poof*

7:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah...

7:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah...

7:30 am

NonoNanette

good morning babblers :)

7:30 am

herinfernallady

Bye Care

7:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

Realistically, I don't see the point after a year or two, perhaps- I have never needed them

7:30 am

NonoNanette

Herin, bills I keep 3 years but bank statements i hold for 7

7:30 am

uusue2

7 years is a good idea, herin, except for big things (car, house, whatever), where you should keep them as long as you have the thing

7:31 am

herinfernallady

I am thinking stuff like Bank Statements the bank has them anyway and stuff you pay for on card would keep as a reciept.

7:31 am

uusue2

also there is a similar rule about tax returns, in case you get audited (note of course that I am US-centric in all this)

7:31 am

NonoNanette

yes banks keep the information but they will charge you an arm and a leg to retrieve copies

7:31 am

herinfernallady

I am trying to purge stuff

7:33 am

herinfernallady

Nono. I have got information for free before as it was within a certain time period. Of course if it was for purchase or house or car which I don't have

7:34 am

MollyL

Nono, what do you mean by "bills"? The stubs from bill payments? I just keep the most current copy.

7:35 am

herinfernallady

I fully understand if I was renoing my house I would have a bill folder for that as it required but I am talking about bank statements and bills

7:35 am

NonoNanette

molly reciepts for utilities i only keep a year for comparison studies but other bills such as car repairs, house repairs or purchases i keep for 3

7:37 am

herinfernallady

I am talking about bank statements and bills. I don't have a car or house

7:37 am

MollyL

I don't keep bank statements at all. That is all on line now.

7:38 am

herinfernallady

That is what I am thinking. APpart from if I use my card for a purchase

7:38 am

crosshair

herin i keep all paper files for 4 years and have everything scanned and on flash key for eternuty

7:38 am

crosshair

eternity

7:39 am

herinfernallady

So maybe the way to go is pdf everything then disk it then shred it?

7:39 am

NonoNanette

that is an excellent idea crossy

7:40 am

crosshair

i have 6 years of paperwork all on one tiny little 16 gig flash key lol..and a backup on disk

7:41 am

crosshair

this computer was bought especial cause it can use cd-rom AND cd-RAM and cd ram is for long storage

7:41 am

crosshair

music studios also use sd ram for masters

7:41 am

crosshair

cd*

7:41 am

herinfernallady

I am despretaly searching for ideas to free myself of this paper cluster

7:42 am

crosshair

do digital herin,you will not regret it

7:42 am

crosshair

go*

7:42 am

herinfernallady

BOOKS are not included

7:42 am

herinfernallady

Any that I don't want will go though

7:42 am

crosshair

lol,i have 400 books on the shelves and 600 on the reader

7:43 am

herinfernallady

Don't care books stay. We have about 700 plus RPG books

7:43 am

crosshair

i sent trif a partial book list so she can pick through them;))

7:44 am

herinfernallady

I couldn't imagine having no books at all

7:45 am

crosshair

impossible,may as well die as have no books

7:45 am

Trifioso

I read that as "boobs" herin....god help us all

7:46 am

MollyL

Herin, I read an article about a prep school that tore down their library because all text books

7:47 am

MollyL

and books in the library went digital. Very sad.

7:47 am

crosshair

i keep a happy mixture of digital and what my son now calls 'dead tree books"

7:47 am

herinfernallady

I think that is sad

7:47 am

herinfernallady

You need a texture thing

7:48 am

MollyL

I believe it is a misnomer to think that paper = dead tree. Making paper out of trees gives another life to trees.

7:48 am

herinfernallady

Our work wants us to cut back on about 70% on paper storage before the move. I think they are smoking crack

7:48 am

crosshair

nothing finer when travelling,just tossing the reader in my briefcase knowing i have 600 books to choose from,and still having all my hardcovers at home to enjoy

7:49 am

herinfernallady

No nothing finier than having a trashy book

7:49 am

crosshair

lol,you are naughty herin

7:50 am

herinfernallady

I am currently reading Night of the Living Trekies

8:29 am

EvaNadine

when my brother got married, my mother was told that for the mother of the groom, the general idea is to "show up, shut up, and wear beige"
heh

8:29 am

Norma

Bye mom see you later

8:29 am

mrpresident

I am missing some fishwords and getting annoyed with myself for not seeing them...
Terri, fishwords are very obvious and easy words that 'should' be easy enough to get

8:29 am

Mom

lol Eva

8:29 am

Mom

bye bye Norma

8:29 am

mrpresident

eva... that is just revolting!!

8:29 am

EvaNadine

8:29 am

herinfernallady

Bye Norma

8:30 am

mrpresident

8:30 am

herinfernallady

I have to get himself over his phobia to do the weeding thing

8:30 am

mrpresident

mother of the bride plays it down, mother of the groom looks like royalty

8:30 am

Norma

See you all later enjoy

8:31 am

terri1

I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed I can only FIND fish words haha

8:31 am

terri1

Bye Norma

8:31 am

mrpresident

if you need clues terri, just ask for them... for example... "any clue for tu7/32?'

8:32 am

EvaNadine

seems to be more the opposite here, MrP. i guess because the brides family pays for the wedding?
though nowadays, with the money coming from anywhere and everywhere and more couples paying their own way, both mothers get to play it up a bit.

8:33 am

terri1

What the...? MrP

8:33 am

mrpresident

we are finding that bride's parents pay for church & reception.... groom parents pay for flowers, cars, invites and alcohol.

8:34 am

Riverdance

terri - if you scroll down, click on licketys babble clues and it will give you a list of the words in the grid (first 2 letters anyway) it also tells you how many letters in the word and the point total for the word

8:34 am

Riverdance

you will want to open another window first though so you can have them side by side

8:34 am

mrpresident

you can ask for clues to words you are finding hard to find....I have to give you the exe to babble expert

8:35 am

Riverdance

I try not to bring up the list until I am absolutely stuck...some folks bring it up right away

8:35 am

mrpresident

it gives you a list of clues so you know what you need to look for.

8:35 am

terri1

bags not paying for alcohol. im in Australia

8:35 am

mrpresident

it is an exe file from Lickety (Mark) and is safe.

8:35 am

EvaNadine

my parents gave us a set amount to do with whatever we wanted. it went to the caterer (which covered food and most rentals such as linens, chairs, etc) and the band.
his parents paid the facility rental fee, the flowers, and a BUNCH of odds-and-ends.
we paid for invitations and lots of things ourselves.

8:36 am

terri1

thanx riverdance mrP

8:36 am

Riverdance

doesnt he have to go pro first mrp

8:37 am

mrpresident

not that I know of... lickety's list is free

8:37 am

mrpresident

he has asked for no money for anything

8:37 am

Michnick

hI just popping in. We are making 3 weddings in 4 months. Here (in Israel) in our community at least, almost all weddings expenses are split. It used to be different but unless one family is significantly more well off, all expenses directly related to the wedding are split, except for the bride's bouquet which the groom's parents pay for.

8:38 am

Michnick

nits

8:38 am

Riverdance

that I know mrp...I just thought you had to be pro for expert to work...my wrong

9:02 am

redturtlehead

I just sent her a FB message. Really I think all i have to do is file an amendment or something, and will probably have to do it locally. My finance guy will know what to do and I have an appointment on the phone with him in 28 minutes, I just am floored.

9:03 am

turtle?? what happened??

9:03 am

redturtlehead

I hate stress!

9:04 am

redturtlehead

and find itodd that my refund was processed with no red flag.

9:04 am

redturtlehead

I have made a large error on my income tax no real crises MrP, but a big pain to fix.

9:04 am

DR1965

It is odd to me as well Red.

9:04 am

beachboggle

Hi all

9:04 am

uusue2

hi, red, i've done that too (although not this year), totally forgot about $10k that I had withdrawn from my retirement fund.

9:04 am

DR1965

Hi Beach

9:04 am

redturtlehead

I thought my refund was huge and my income a bit low, but...thats what comes from forgetting an entire W2.

9:05 am

redturtlehead

uusue, was it easy to take care of?

9:05 am

uusue2

Just had to file an amended return; wasn't a big deal (although I did have to pay some of the money back)

9:05 am

mrpresident

bloody tax rubbish! can they not see an error?

9:05 am

redturtlehead

Yes, I am not touching that money.

9:06 am

redturtlehead

I think I will take the mess though to jacksom hewitt or H and R and let them file it properly!

9:06 am

DR1965

Probably a good idea Red

9:06 am

redturtlehead

Could be a whole lot worse! I could have spent that cash!

9:06 am

uusue2

then two years later the state came and said I owed them more money too, got that sorted out as the state doesn't tax retirement withdrawals, although by that time I had totally forgotten about it, gotten divorced, and lost the paperwork so it was a bit of a pain for a while

9:07 am

redturtlehead

luckily we do not have income tax in Florida, so I have no fear of the state.

9:07 am

redturtlehead

But the feds are scary.

9:07 am

uusue2

ah, good :-)

9:08 am

uusue2

I had one a long time ago where I'd forgotten something and the feds caught it many months later; I had to pay the extra tax and the interest but no fine as it was an honest mistake

9:11 am

uusue2

and if wht is still around, the only New England soda I know is tonic, but it's not in the grid :-(

9:11 am

redturtlehead

My parents have had a few problems lately, but they file quartlerly so it seems she is always filing income tax...

9:12 am

uusue2

my dad does that too, red, as a lot of his income is from investments now

9:13 am

redturtlehead

yes that is how my parents have it, plus the income that my Dad generates from his readings and such.

9:14 am

redturtlehead

well 15 mins before my moeny man appt. Boy he will be surprised.

9:15 am

redturtlehead

HAIRY DOLPHIN ALERT!

9:15 am

uusue2

good luck, red! I'm sure all will be fine.

9:15 am

uusue2

hahaha, got it, red!

9:16 am

redturtlehead

:D thanks all for helping me with my panic!

9:17 am

uusue2

Just take a nice deep breath, red, and remember, it's only money.

9:19 am

redturtlehead

I just want to avoid jail time!

9:19 am

mrpresident

I so need to sleep!! taking the trip back home to Sydney tomorrow and looking forward to the relax trip home. CYA all later and niters!

9:19 am

uusue2

nowhere in the cards, red.

9:19 am

uusue2

and night, mrp, take care of yourself!!!

9:19 am

redturtlehead

good night mrp!

9:19 am

redturtlehead

I hope not, I would not do well in prison!

9:20 am

uusue2

believe me, red, I've forgotten things for a much longer period of time, and not even a fine. Don't worry.

9:22 am

9:23 am

redturtlehead

9:24 am

uusue2

you're doing the right thing, red, and very soon after the deadline, even the extra interest should be minimal.

9:24 am

uusue2

and congrats on the marathon training - I tried that once although only got as far as a 25k race.

9:24 am

redturtlehead

25 K is a nice long race.

9:54 am

Scrabbler

So I am all alone with the lurkers? *waving to lurkers* I know you're there.

9:54 am

MollyL

Aloy is wearing the cloak of invisibility. I think Red is off line. Hi Scrabs, sorry about your migraine.

9:55 am

Scrabbler

It's improving, Molly. Much less pain, now into the post-headache brain fog.

Besides it is my birthday.

Ty Scrabs.

10:33 am

wht

I am 60 today and I am puzzled about how I could possibly be that old.

10:34 am

SeaSpray

lol not far behind you

10:35 am

Scrabbler

wht--congrats! Some people are never fortunate to make it to 60. My father will be 80 next wk.

10:35 am

SeaSpray

One consolation is that my dog is older than me

10:35 am

uusue2

wht!!! Happy birthday!!! (you have me beat by almost exactly a month :-)

10:36 am

uusue2

and hi to scrabs, sea, ciocia, molly, aloy, and everyone else!

10:36 am

SeaSpray

my friend will be 58 on May 10th...I never let her forget she is OLDER than me (by 6 months)

10:36 am

Scrabbler

8.5 yrs to go til 60, God permitting

10:36 am

wht

I never gave much thought to my other milestone birthdays, but this one seems to be different.

10:37 am

SeaSpray

Hi Uusue

10:37 am

You are still a spring chicken (or is that spring rabbit) Scrabs.

ivesy3

60 in june, and i too am trying to figure out how i got that old!

10:37 am

SeaSpray

absolutely

10:38 am

wht

Hmm, spring rabbit. That would be a March Hare, I think.

10:38 am

Scrabbler

It's all relative, wht. Twin sisters were featured in our newspaper yesterday--turned 100! And then in my office I see newborns everyday.

10:38 am

uusue2

50 was the big one for me, as that is how old my mom was when she died; I didn't expect it to hit me as hard as it did.

10:39 am

Scrabbler

Aw, Sue, your mother died young.

10:39 am

uusue2

I try to tell myself that the importance of years ending in zero is purely an artifact, due to us having ten fingers, but it doesn't always work :-)

10:39 am

Scrabbler

Both of my parents will tu4 80 in the next 5 wks. Neither act or look 80.

10:39 am

SeaSpray

Twin 100 year olds? wonderful!

10:40 am

uusue2

on the other hand my dad is 90 and still going strong (as you all know all too well!)

10:40 am

SeaSpray

My Brother in law always says age is a state of mind

10:40 am

wht

I think that the other thing for me is that it means that retirement is getting nearer.

10:40 am

Scrabbler

I have seen so much death (my patients, and my close friend at 39 two yrs ago) that I see growing older as a privilege.

10:41 am

MollyL

Happy Birthday Wht!!

10:41 am

wht

ty Molly

10:41 am

uusue2

ah yes - right now I figure I can retire when I am 70, assuming the state doesn't take away our pensions completely :-(

10:41 am

wht

One of my best friends died 2 years ago, so I know that nothing is guarunteed.

10:42 am

Scrabbler

I don't think I'll ever be able (financially) to retire til my 70's, unless what little $ I have stored away increases tremendously.

10:42 am

wht

At least Babble is paid for. What else do you need?

10:43 am

Scrabbler

Yep, we're all set, wht. TY for that reminder!

10:44 am

uusue2

lol, wht! There you go!

10:44 am

Scrabbler

Time to get ready to go to the dentist. Enjoy your special day, wht.

10:44 am

uusue2

oh, good luck, scrabs!

10:45 am

Scrabbler

I need $ to pay for dental care is what I need.

10:45 am

Scrabbler

2011 = year of dental problems for me. Better than medical problems though.

10:46 am

wht

Bye scrabs. Good luck at the dentis.

10:46 am

11:24 am

jbp

tx!

11:24 am

hurshy

ugh. if you go to a chiropractor, you can save yourself some back/neck surgery.

11:25 am

uusue2

but be careful. I've gone to lots of chiropractors; if you really do need surgery they are not the answer (but then I came close to being paralyzed due to bone spurs compressing my spinal cord - not something a chiropractor should be fooling around with)

11:26 am

hurshy

bone spurs would be a different problem, yeah.

11:26 am

hurshy

some people are freaked out by chiro, but the idea of back surgery freaks me out much more.

11:27 am

uusue2

otoh, it was a chiropractor who realized that bone spurs were my problem (after an MRI was misinterpreted); he refused to touch me after that and got me to get a surgeon to look at the MRI itself and not just the report. I am very grateful to him!

11:27 am

jmcnrick

back

11:27 am

hurshy

that's good uusue :)

11:27 am

jmcnrick

good for the chiropractor not all of them are that bright

11:27 am

uusue2

just be careful of excessive claims - chiropractic can be good for sore backs but it won't cure cancer, diabetes, or autism (all claims I have heard)

11:28 am

uusue2

and hi, jmc!

11:28 am

jmcnrick

*fixes a lavender pillow for jbp*

11:29 am

hurshy

it's hard to know where the line is. it makes sense to me that it can improve overall health to have your spine straight and all your nerves able to send the right signals through properly. but i certainly wouldn't believe it was the only necessary care for every complaint.

11:29 am

jmcnrick

yeah my hubby drew the line at acupuncture (which is extremely good for additions) when the guys said it would cure his deafness

11:30 am

jmcnrick

i had a bad back and went to physical therapy and now 5 year later continue those exercise with nary a twinge

11:31 am

uusue2

physical therapy is based on actual science, though (for the most part), not at all like chiropractic (or, I am sorry, acupuncture)

11:31 am

uusue2

(all of which I have tried)

11:33 am

hurshy

some aspects of chiro are science. i mean, i can see the improvement in my spinal shape on the progress x-rays.

11:33 am

mixi6

I have been going to a chiropractor for 20 years. Just saw an x-ray of my back, and it is much much straighter now.

11:34 am

mixi6

I can also sit for more that 20 minutes unsupported and stand up straint.

11:34 am

mixi6

straight.

11:36 am

hurshy

but yes, they do sometimes seem to be making excessive claims about what having an aligned spine will do for you.

11:36 am

uusue2

I agree; I am just saying that one needs to be careful because there are a lot of unsupported claims out there.

11:36 am

jmcnrick

*sigh* phone

11:37 am

mixi6

I also went to one who pinched my sciatic nerve, so they are not all equal.

11:37 am

hurshy

definitely true, mixi - but also true about other health care professionals.

11:38 am

uusue2

and perhaps I have a complicated set of issues, but whenever I went to chiropractors they would start out by saying they could make me feel better in some finite number of sessions, but then it always went on forever without much change.

11:39 am

hurshy

i had a crazy dentist once, who seemed to think that no other dentist in the world could possibly have taken proper care of me, wanted to recheck everything they'd ever done. arrogant!

11:39 am

granadan

I prefer chiros - the treat holistically, though theres good and bad in every profession. No matter who you go to, they should listen, give you a realistic expectation of improvement and then acheive noticeable results. If that occurs, I couldnt care if its a chiro or an osteopath ;)

11:39 am

uusue2

anyway, it is always good to do your own homework and be informed, whatever the situation is. and now, speaking of homework, I have to get back to grading mine...

sounds good, crossy (the whole cancer story). Glad to see you are keeping on top of it. Agree about the radiation from CT scans, it is a little disconcerting

12:27 pm

crosshair

yes,i get one twice a year now,but it is the lesser evil

12:27 pm

crosshair

at the start,i was getting one ever 2 months!!

12:27 pm

1:04 pm

crosshair

you never know sue,i was doing crunches with a nordic track ab works machine

1:04 pm

uusue2

yeah, when I had the fusion the bone spurs were starting to compress my spinal cord - the skin on my chest was starting to go numb. Not a good sign.

1:04 pm

crosshair

no,not good at all

1:05 pm

uusue2

yw, ruby, always glad to be of service :-)

1:05 pm

my spine is very bad, crooked to start but worsening from various fractures and surgeries but when I went to the fusion specialist in Geneva, supposedly a world-renowned guy from Canada, he said "absolutely not! It might reduce your pain for a while but then will only get worse above and below. So I take a 2-hour rest every afternoon and lots of pain meds....

1:06 pm

rubyfoo

and manage, which is the key, I guess.

1:07 pm

crosshair

indeed sue,i have a friend who had the same neck unjury but he was in more paing he asked them to go in and fix it..now he uses 2 canes and his left foot is turned in..so i am careful

1:07 pm

uusue2

would be nice if they could trim off the bone spurs without fusing the disk but I guess I had no disks left either, mostly I am fine now, though, just can't turn my head really far

1:07 pm

MollyL

Read your story Sue. Ouch. And rats, because I was hoping it was going to be a Buck-Buck story.

1:07 pm

crosshair

yes ruby,do not let them open you up,unless you cannot walk

1:07 pm

rubyfoo

what's a buck-buck story?

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

absolutely, crossy!

1:08 pm

uusue2

maybe next time, molly :-) (after I figure out what that is)

1:08 pm

rubyfoo

at summer faculty parties, everybody used to wind up wet!

1:09 pm

MollyL

Oh Lord, buck-buck is this ridiculous game that is played in two teams. One team forms a human chain, starting with the first person whose arms are wrapped around a tree. The other team members then run and leap onto this human chain, trying to break.

1:10 pm

rubyfoo

sounds like you would need a lot of liquid anaesthesia for that

1:10 pm

uusue2

think I will avoid that one, molly :-)

1:11 pm

rubyfoo

I found a physics babblet from your profile, sue

1:12 pm

MollyL

Ugh...trying to break the chain. Kids get banged up pretty badly playing this game.

1:12 pm

crosshair

now in my earlier party days,we all used to get in our swimming gear and play twister whilst covered in oil..was great fun

1:13 pm

rubyfoo

where did our wild youths go?

1:13 pm

uusue2

you did, ruby? I'll have to look harder :-)

1:14 pm

rubyfoo

I read your whole list and found a te5

1:15 pm

1:20 pm

Wonderful link to botanical photo of the day on uusue's profile. Many thanks (I hope she's still on!)

1:36 pm

Theer is no re8, mix. It is an ru8.. Most liquid, or least solid.

1:36 pm

MollyL

It's an ru8...the egg with the most uncooked yolk is the ru8

1:39 pm

Still lost. The only te5 physics babblet I see is tesla, and that is not in the grid. Fermi is in Sue's list, and termi is in the grid, but not as an acceptable word. Like I said, confused.

that way you can access e-pub files

2:04 pm

lilliann

my mam and dad got a dog from a shelter in france and they speak french and english, mostly english to him and he has picked it up really quickly. i think if you say the word in the language they know and then repeat it in the language you speak they do pick it up well, as animals are clever

3:58 pm

lilliann

3:58 pm

Krysten

Double Double is coffee with two creams and two sugars

3:58 pm

lilliann

3:58 pm

Glantarell

that cheese sauce on the caulifloer is full of fat and calories LOL

3:59 pm

dianedecoder

Canada's most popular coffee/doughnut/pastrie chain

4:01 pm

Krysten

butter tarts (are amazing, by the way) are pastries a cup like form with a mixtures of sugar, butter and eggs in the centre. Good ones may also have raisins or pecans in them too.

4:01 pm

lilliann

so what is butter tart?

4:01 pm

dianedecoder

pastry even :-))

4:01 pm

Glantarell

ah, we have starbucks and costa coffee now but all the old UK chains like Kardomah and Milk Bars have gone

4:01 pm

hurshy

sounds healthy...

4:01 pm

lilliann

reminds me of a flan but with sweet things

4:02 pm

Glantarell

sounds like egg custards to me LOL

4:02 pm

Krysten

Love coffee but with just milk, no sugar or cream. Timmy's is horrible coffee. Anyone looking for a good coffee in Canada should NOT go to Tim Hortons.

4:02 pm

Glantarell

i only love freshly ground black coffee

4:02 pm

lilliann

but starbucks and costa coffee are expensive so my hubby says and he doesn't want a latte or mochachoca thing, as he says, he just wants a normal cup of coffee!! lol

4:02 pm

redturtlehead

i really do not like starbucks much.

4:03 pm

Krysten

Butter tarts are not even remotely like a custard. It's more syrupy, kinda like a pecan pie.

4:03 pm

Glantarell

preferably with vanilla or cinnamon syrup

4:03 pm

redturtlehead

I like plain coffee with milk like Krysten...

4:03 pm

redturtlehead

But I have liked tim hortons OK when I have been there.

4:03 pm

Glantarell

i think i need a butter tart recipe...

4:04 pm

Krysten

I personally think that Tim Horton's coffee is should really be called Canadian Crack.

4:04 pm

wht

Hi, back for a few. Does anyone have a clue for the tu7?

4:04 pm

lilliann

i love the smell of freshly ground coffee glant. in cwmbran,there use to be, don't know if it is still there, but a coffe shop/cafe and the smell of the different coffees would go up the street, it was lovely!

4:04 pm

hurshy

tu7 rhymes with scrabbler's pets

4:05 pm

Glantarell

scrabbler's pets?

4:05 pm

lilliann

aye, egg custards glant, but with sweet rhings, you're right

4:05 pm

Krysten

My fav coffee is fresh ground coffee straight from Costa Rica. Hard to find in Canada tho!

4:05 pm

wht

ty hurs. Just got it and thought it was little, small large weights.

4:05 pm

mom23

Timmy's couldn't cut it in CT, replacing a local coffee, etc., place they bought out. More food options, but coffee left a lot to be desired.

4:05 pm

hurshy

scrabbler is a babbler who keeps pets... which... are like Bugs B.

4:05 pm

wht

Glan, think of her icon.

4:06 pm

redturtlehead

replacing the local place is the big mistake!

4:06 pm

redturtlehead

We have nothing local in town and I think we really lack. Panera is the closest to something local...and it is totally a chain.

4:06 pm

dianedecoder

like sweet little easter tu***** hop hop

4:07 pm

Krysten

Wikipedia description of Butter Tarts = Recipes for the butter tart varies according to the families baking them. As such, the appearance and physical characteristics of the butter tart such as the firmness of its pastry or the softness of its filling also varies[1]. In general, the English Canadian tart consists of butter, sugar, and eggs in a pastry shell, similar to the base of the U. S. pecan pie without the nut topping. It is also similar to the French-Canadian sugar pie. Additional ingredients can include currants, raisins, pecans, walnuts, coconut, dates, butterscotch, chocolate chips, peanut butter or maple syrup.[citation needed].

4:07 pm

Glantarell

mmmmmnn

4:07 pm

redturtlehead

Ahhhh. thank you diane. I was getting something that rhymes with Abbot, and the clue was really getting me confused.

4:07 pm

Krysten

Hmmmm...making me hungry!

4:07 pm

dianedecoder

LOL

4:07 pm

hurshy

that's fascinating psychology, red. given that panera is a chain, what is it about it that makes you feel it is closer to something local? are you now in the area where it started?

4:07 pm

Glantarell

i am still co fused about tu

4:08 pm

redturtlehead

No not that at all. it is the only place in town where we can get coffee and is comfortable enough to hang out, and the barista gal is good enough to try to remember peoples names.

4:09 pm

redturtlehead

glantrell, there is a photo of one in your icon, just use a different spelling...

4:09 pm

4:16 pm

Glantarell

4:16 pm

redturtlehead

4:16 pm

lilliann

that'll be noodles in semame oil?

4:16 pm

lilliann

and seeds??

4:17 pm

Glantarell

what goes into sesame sauce other than sesame seeds?

4:17 pm

lilliann

*sesame

4:17 pm

MollyL

I only grill with charcoal. I have no interest in a gas grill.

4:17 pm

redturtlehead

Sauce, not oil. more of a paste of the sesame seeds. very tasty. Nothing else.

4:17 pm

wht

clue for the first re6,21 please

4:17 pm

Glantarell

I don't grill

4:17 pm

Glantarell

is that what we call tahini?

4:18 pm

redturtlehead

No I dont think so. Tahini is less sweet.

4:18 pm

Glantarell

i don't think we have it here then

4:18 pm

lilliann

we don't get sesame sauce here, i don't think, do we glant?

4:18 pm

redturtlehead

At a chinese resturaunt, youcould order it.

4:19 pm

Glantarell

not here in chinese restaurants

4:19 pm

redturtlehead

It is very like tahini, but more sesameish.

4:19 pm

lilliann

we get oil and the seeds but never heard of the sauce

4:19 pm

redturtlehead

Wow! I used to date a Chinese guy, sooo....I discovered when I had it at work that most people dont know it either here.

4:20 pm

lilliann

i'm surprised that the chinese restaurants don't do it tho as we have sooo many in this country. i do like a good chinese/thai meal

4:21 pm

redturtlehead

I imagine they do, but also sometimes i just ask for it even if it is not on the menu and they make it.

4:21 pm

redturtlehead

and the menus are often so crowded.

4:22 pm

lilliann

i think my hubby is getting sick of chinese food again, bless him as he has driven chinese/thai people around the country for the last few weeks and that is all he as eaten....speak of the devil...he's on phone!

4:24 pm

jan

The noodle dish might be called dan dan mian. If you have an Asian grocery, you could ask for ma jiang, which is the Mandarin word ofr sesame paste.

Sorry...sticky key again. Chinese sesame paste is much darker than tahini. If you had to substitute, peanut butter actually is a better substitute than tahini.

The da4/5 is April 26, 2011 & here is a story of clues. I was off from work last week so I went to see family in Vermont. I got there on Saturday. My mom us 4/6 me to help her clean and get ready for Easter. Was a du6/24 and helped my mom du4/6 the house. My mom said house was du7/36 than usual because she hadn't du 6/27 in a long time. Then we washed all the floors which had st 5/10s on them. Was glad to be there to help.My mom was he 7/36 getting ready for Easter. I had a great Easter.It was fun to un5/12 w/my family for the holiday. We had not been un 6/24 as a family since Christmas. My sister,who's a nu5/12,& brother and their families were there for Easter.My one year old nephew was the entertainment for everyone. We had to de 6/21 him in livingroom so he wouldn't crawl off to places unknown.He is one cute du4/7.He knew he was the center of attention and wouldn't take his nap. Tried to hu 4/7 him, but he wouldn't be hu 6/30. It ir4/5 his parents when he wouldn't sleep. He was a te6/18 & really te 6/21 them with his antics and was driving them nu4/5. He wouldn't sleep no matter how st 5/10 they got with him. They thought he would ru 4/5 th5/12 Easter by being cranky&they would have to leave early. He had a lot of mo5/22 fighting off his sleepiness, but finally was a re 6/18 and re 6/21. His parents were st4/5ned he finally fell asleep. He didn't ut 5/12 a sound after that.For Easter dinner we had ham for the ma4/5 course. I am going to sh4/6 down this computer,get off my tu4/6 and watch tv for the re4/4 of the ni 4/4. Ni 6/18 all! See you all tomorrow.

9:09 pm

stidmama

9:09 pm

stidgmere

You may have dessert MollyL. You may even have seconds. I will not be the evil tyke-master.

9:10 pm

9:13 pm

mcurlschool
