Maybe DrG is trying to stop you drinking! You can have mi7 or hi7 instead, will that do?
2:29 am
rolin
nope...im just gonna do an aussie pout..!
2:31 am
rolin
i think i could be placated if while still accepting 'yob' enable accepted 'hoon'
2:33 am
lynxxx
Wow - someone needs a Mothers Day hug
2:33 am
rolin
lol... nah... im fine..and we have never done mothers day... not much of a commercially imposed displayer of affection...
2:34 am
lynxxx
Hugs are free though - just a bit hard when you are over there
2:35 am
rolin
true...but the sentiment holds..so thank you... did you do anything special for MD?

Morning Ruby!
2:47 am
rubyfoo
wow, I was ablle to start with the pu8 from the chog. yay
2:47 am
rubyfoo
how are you lynxx? I just took the houseguests from hell to the train station. Another yay
2:48 am
lynxxx
who were th** Ruby?
2:49 am
rubyfoo
my cousin and her 21 yr old daughter. I hadn't seen cousin for more than 30 years and I guess there was a reason! lol
2:51 am
lynxxx
It's a pity it didn't work out...must be nice to have pleasant houseguests - for a 'short' time especially!
2:51 am
rubyfoo
since we moved here, 13 years ago, we've had countless houseguests. Most have worked out (and made return visits) but a few have been awful!
2:53 am
lynxxx
your cousins problem was?
2:54 am
rubyfoo
she said I was just like her mother (my deceased aunt), controlling, judgmental and cold! And that Burt was just like her sweet father. LOL
2:55 am
rubyfoo
she did a lot of "acting out"
2:57 am
rubyfoo
fortunately, I was able to patch things over and we parted on good terms but "sweet" husband, wouldn't even say good bye
2:57 am
lynxxx
are you serious! what a frightful guest - some people should learn to hold their tongues - no manners at all. I think I would have asked her to leave
2:58 am
rubyfoo
it was better this way, at least she won't be my enemy
2:58 am
lynxxx
You are too good. I wouldn't have wanted her to come back
2:59 am
rubyfoo
she won't, I;m sure of that
2:59 am
rubyfoo
you can choose your friends but you can't choose your family, a lesson hard-learned
3:01 am
rubyfoo
I grew up with many many cousin and aunts and uncles, and now there are very few left, so I'd rather not drop one

1:48 pm
cybernan

1:48 pm
Kazzer99
i still cant get the feeling that she was eaten by the cats after she died - thats whats making me cringe - i just hope that didnt happen
1:49 pm
lilliann
best not to think about it kazz or you'll drive yourself mad over it. just try and remember her the way you last saw her
1:50 pm
Kazzer99
anyway back to teh grid - on a good note - my friend from school has just got in touch again on facebook so i might go and see here at some point
1:50 pm
wildcat17
even if it did happen there is nothing you can do about it now. lill's right - move past that and focus on the better memories of her
1:51 pm
Kazzer99
i am - its just too sad but i will get some time off for the funeral
1:51 pm
lilliann
that would be good kazz
1:51 pm
wildcat17
at times like this it's better to not have all those details
1:52 pm
lilliann
i've got in touch with a few good school friends from fb that i haven't seen for 26 years
1:52 pm
lilliann
saying that i don't go on fb at the moment as people were hacking into my email
1:53 pm
Kazzer99
thats not good - did you try changing your pass word?
1:53 pm
lilliann
i've changed it 3 times since being on fb kazz
1:54 pm

1:56 pm
lilliann
it was suppose to be fun and ended up being a nightmare and all my friends getting horrible emails.i'm thinking of getting rid of it nan, as i don't go on it hardly now, seems a waste of time having it really!
1:57 pm
lilliann
but knowing me, i'll get rid of it and want it back!!
1:57 pm
Riverdance
my facebook email is one of those set up through hotmail that I never never go on so if it gets hacked I dont care. My friends dont have that email address..no one does.
1:58 pm
cybernan
lol -- getting it back is easy -- it's getting rid of it that's is difficult

2:22 pm
Riverdance
I just put the chocolate pie recipe on my profile...to die for!

wonder if it has anything to do w/new babble?
2:23 pm
lilliann
pie shell? is that short crust pastry river?
2:24 pm
Riverdance
I dont think so hoot....just a cranky server
2:24 pm
lilliann
i know we get flan bases here but not aware of pie cases. we get ready to roll pastry
2:24 pm
Aloyisius
ah.. prefer a red like a shiraz or cabernet
2:24 pm
lilliann
me to river
2:24 pm
Riverdance
you can use either a pastry crust or graham. I like graham but the recipe actually called for a cooked pastry crust
2:24 pm
lilliann
never heard of graham
2:25 pm
Aloyisius
nice of your daughter to make it! will save the recipe
2:25 pm
wildcat17

2:25 pm
MollyL
Lilliann, never heard of graham cracker crust?
2:25 pm
lilliann
we don't get that here
2:25 pm
Riverdance

2:25 pm
lilliann
no molly
2:25 pm
lilliann
no molly
2:25 pm
Riverdance
you cant get graham crackers there?
2:26 pm
Riverdance
just the crust needs to be cooked...not the filling. We are lazy here and buy the already made crusts
2:26 pm
lilliann
well, i've never seen them. not a name i recognise, must be american and probably canadian
2:26 pm
Riverdance
if not we crush up graham crackers and add butter
2:26 pm
Aloyisius
we do too, River
2:26 pm
Riverdance
Do you make smores in Canada?
2:27 pm
lilliann
we're lazy here too and buy the ready to roll pastry but don't get crusts
2:27 pm
Riverdance
sorry England
2:27 pm
Aloyisius
i just buy the graham cracker crumbs in the box
2:27 pm
lilliann

2:27 pm
Riverdance
I buy the Pillsbury ready to roll and cook crusts too
2:27 pm
Riverdance
yes they are
2:28 pm
Riverdance
I cant believe they dont have graham crackers across the pond
2:28 pm
Aloyisius
graham sounds like an English name
2:28 pm
wildcat17
perhaps they're called something else
2:28 pm
lilliann
we get pilsbury cookies that we can make
2:28 pm
wildcat17
lilliann you can look up graham crackers online
2:29 pm
hootowl
I just got a red box! Any odds on my getting done today?
2:29 pm
