Hi everyone - jilli, you did better than I, so many of our holiday pics were slides

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

never found a to 6 ...

12:38 am

jillibus

Actually, I could tell a taleabout my icon -- I think I'll add it in the profile...

12:38 am

flosey

good idea

12:38 am

jillibus

This grid looks tough.

12:38 am

flosey

I agree

12:43 am

mrpresident

12:47 am

snags

has everyone had a shingle vaccination if you are 60 and over??

12:47 am

VolleymomDee

ra 6/30

12:47 am

snags

my sister thought the vacine was too expensive so didn't have one. Well this last week she broke out with shingles.

12:47 am

jillibus

snags, I'm on a waiting list -- no vaccine abailable here just now.

12:48 am

snags

Her hubby went the next morning and had one.

12:48 am

snags

Her hubby went the next morning and had one.

12:48 am

snags

Be sure and get it. The things are terrible.

12:48 am

hootowl

I come in at the weirdest times! Had shingles years ago. Have one of my coworkers mumps.

12:48 am

jillibus

holiday tale told -- see profile.

12:49 am

hootowl

GAVE ONE OF MY ....

12:49 am

jillibus

I know -- a friend here got it last October and is still suffering the after-effects

12:50 am

snags

great story Jilli, but horrible for hubby. :)

12:50 am

flosey

I wasn't aware of the vaccine! must talk to my Dr.

12:50 am

jillibus

yes, poor guy!

12:50 am

snags

Jilli, can you cross over into the states and have one??

12:51 am

ursh

hello all - over here our blood bank asks recovered shingle patients to donate blood - apparantly good for cancer patients

12:51 am

snags

Dont put off the vaccine if you can help it. My sister in law has a useless right hand from them.

12:51 am

flosey

wow, quite a holiday jilli! How well I remember Hurricane Hazel

12:51 am

snags

really ursh??

12:51 am

jillibus

flosey, there's only one place giving the shot -- in Victoria. And snags, some friends went a couple of years ago to Bellingham, WA and got the shot. We're hoping there will be some here very soon.

12:52 am

snags

Hope so too.

12:52 am

flosey

I'll be seeing him early July, so will ask then

12:53 am

jillibus

flosey, you just have to make an appt at the place in Vic. Our docs have nothing to do with it, and it's not covered.

12:53 am

snags

Insist if you havetooflosey.

12:53 am

snags

Be firm............ :)

12:54 am

snags

I am headed to bed....... take care all.

12:54 am

jillibus

The vaccine is only about 50% effective but if it doesn't totally prevent shingles, it's not as severe, they say.

12:54 am

flosey

oh, will get the # from you then?

12:55 am

jillibus

G'night snags and thanks for the advice.

12:55 am

jillibus

Yes, flosey, I have it.

1:51 am

vanillaslice

true there's some real curly ones

1:51 am

vanillaslice

i get as far as I can and then use lickety to complete

1:52 am

flosey

oh, me too vanilla

1:52 am

rbud

just finished watching the new True Grit movie with hubby, rather enjoyed it... westerns not really my thing, usually

1:52 am

flosey

I've never seen the first one, rbud

1:53 am

rbud

I read that the new one was much truer to the book - John Wayne was nearly a buffoon in the first one, in my opinion

1:54 am

vanillaslice

wasnt wayne always?

1:54 am

rbud

Jeff Bridges was pretty good in this one.

1:54 am

flosey

ah, I'd like him better too

1:55 am

rbud

he's aging nicely, I've enjoyed his newer movies. good parts.

1:56 am

flosey

I don't see many movies, simply because hubby doesn't care for them

1:56 am

rbud

a long way from Starman, haha.

1:57 am

flosey

sometimes see them while visiting with my kids

1:57 am

rbud

well, our dau rents a lot of movies, she got this one for her dad, has to be back tomorrow, so we stuck it in the player - we don't use the thing much.

1:58 am

flosey

we have one but don't know how to use it! Son coming Friday, he'll set it up for us

2:00 am

rbud

I guess since we both stayed awake through the whole thing, it had to be pretty good, haha!

2:02 am

flosey

the kids have the new fangled tvs, huge screen and all the new additions - like pausing a show if you have to take a phone call, or such

2:05 am

rbud

oh, too new for us, though it sounds intriguing, I have to admit. I keep telling people we're never getting any TV that won't fit in my 70's solid oak TV armoire, forget it.

2:06 am

flosey

don't blame you rbud, sounds like a nice piece of furniture

2:06 am

rbud

it is, stained glass doors, nice.

2:07 am

flosey

we have a very ancient tv in the bedroom - bought when the kids were in high school - now that's really going back

2:07 am

flosey

they're all in the 40s

2:08 am

rbud

:)

2:08 am

flosey

42, 43, 46, 48

2:08 am

rbud

I don't really like the big flat screens, the picture looks funny to me, I've stood in the store and shook my head over them.

2:08 am

rbud

guess I'm getting old, haha!

2:08 am

flosey

but movies are flat

2:09 am

flosey

I mean theatre movies

2:10 am

rbud

shoot, haven't been to a movie in 20 years, I imagine. Not sure why, just easier to wait for them to come out on DVD or even to regular TV. The kids go all the time, though. (they're 20 and 23 now)

2:10 am

flosey

well, it is nice to see them in the comfort of your home

2:11 am

flosey

one thing hubby doesn't like is the smell of popcorn

2:11 am

rbud

I used to go a lot when I was a kid, mom always sent us to the latest Disney movie or whatever was playing on the weekends, probably to gat some peace and quiet! :)

2:11 am

rbud

*get

2:12 am

5:57 am

it is awful here today. It jumped from 20 C to 35 C in one day, and today is still hot, but no sun, thunderstorm threatening but not breaking. It is like wearing a wet blanket.

Mainly the same here in london

6:15 am

MollyL

He's a counselor at a summer camp and absolutely loves his job. Nice to see someone happy to go to work.

6:16 am

sprite

oh that is so wonderful. My kids go to a summer camp and the people organising it are just the best.

6:16 am

MollyL

This group he works for is top shelf as well. He's been working for them for five years now and still loves it.

6:17 am

MollyL

Too many T's today.

6:18 am

sprite

I won't be surprised if my kids are going to end up helping on this camp either. In one or two years they are too old to come along as campers, so they may want to join as helpers :D

6:20 am

hi kap

6:30 am

Kaplan the Magne

I mean blind to the combo . I am having coordination problems tis morning

6:33 am

MollyL

Kap, I've come to discover that "stats (not clue)" just doesn't work. Such is life.

6:34 am

jmcnrick

it works some times

6:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

Sometimes it works.

6:34 am

jmcnrick

it really depends on how crowded the chog is

6:34 am

MollyL

I also figured out that when you answer that you should say "st9 - Stats for Kap" or someone will think you are asking. Living and learning.

6:34 am

Kaplan the Magne

who asks what when.

6:35 am

MollyL

Who's on first?

6:35 am

jmcnrick

that is a good suggestion molly

6:35 am

jmcnrick

what's on second

6:35 am

Kaplan the Magne

or just ask for the clue. Now who will enforce this new policy?

6:36 am

MollyL

Babbleland is anarchy. No rules, no enforcers.

6:36 am

jmcnrick

nothing to enforce--just a good idea

6:46 am

mrpresident

can't eat breakfast until about 11am ... same as you jmc??

6:46 am

MollyL

*Looks around for limes*

6:47 am

jmcnrick

i never liked breakfast--if i get up at 4 am i can eat around 7

6:47 am

jmcnrick

it was tough growing up in the south--the land of really big breakfasts

6:47 am

mrpresident

you could have a killer gin! ;)

6:48 am

jmcnrick

i just skip to lunch--even though i have read all the stuff about breakfast

6:48 am

mrpresident

we have tea and half a muffin for brekkie here... morning tea is our snack, then late lunch and small dinner

6:48 am

mrpresident

stuff that jmc, you do what your body wants to

6:49 am

mrpresident

but do have some type of sugar in the morning to kick start the brain

6:49 am

MollyL

And I am the polar opposite. I have a better appetite between when I get up and 11AM than I do all day. I could skip lunch and dinner and survive on early morning breakfast.

6:49 am

jmcnrick

i think i could have developed the habit if i had grown up somewhere that only did continental breakfast

6:49 am

jmcnrick

i could skip breakfast and lunch and only eat dinner

6:50 am

lynxxx

with a body like yours MRP you can eat anytime you like - the rest of us - well we need to follow some 'rules' (PS that is a royal 'we')

6:50 am

mrpresident

i do that when i am going out for dinner... works fine for me too :)

6:51 am

MollyL

I hear ya Lynxx

6:51 am

Anniebrook

Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day

6:51 am

well i am no skinny winny myself

oh lynxx!! you too kind! I did have to watch my food during my PCOS time... but now weight is normal and am doing bloody well since treatment of the nasty C too

6:52 am

jmcnrick

okay i must be going to feed the cat (who does like breakfast) before the gym then off to close on my son's new house

Carlee little bit of experimenting is ok. The worse you can do is burn them. I also found that I divide the large dough into half then get hand fulls and roll out till thin. Nearly see through thin. Do not over work and let sit for 15 min

Oooo I have an AWESOME Idea for bananana

8:30 am

carleekat

i usually do shrimp or chicken too or just veggie...

8:30 am

spellit

ag

8:30 am

carleekat

but i do do queema ( ground beef and potato curry no sauce..is a dry currie)

8:30 am

carleekat

curry* even

8:31 am

carleekat

and ur idea herin?

8:31 am

herinfernallady

You get a banana skin still on - wrap in foil leaving an opening at the length of the top of the banana. Then slit the banana down the non bendy bit. Stuff banana with Chocolate, seal the foil grill

8:31 am

carleekat

banana boats...also add mini mashamllows

8:31 am

carleekat

we do at camp all the time :)

8:31 am

herinfernallady

When cooked you can tell that take off foil and carefully the skin and eat with ice cream or mascoponi cheese

8:32 am

herinfernallady

mmmmmmmm.. Brilliant I don't have to explain it then

8:34 am

carleekat

nope..u dont...its standard campp fire fare...its either smore's or banana boats

8:34 am

herinfernallady

Have you seen the square marshmallows for smores?

8:35 am

carleekat

no... but i use reese penut butter cups instead of choclit

8:36 am

herinfernallady

I think Jiffy Puff make them

8:36 am

carleekat

ok..gotta run.get dressed...get my arse in gear and get my groceries so i can make my curry

Hi Ruby

8:42 am

rubyfoo

you guys are wonderful! You make me feel like cooking (and that takes a lot!)

8:42 am

herinfernallady

Awww

8:42 am

herinfernallady

Awww

8:42 am

Aloyisius

hi ruby.. ooh, that beef curry recipe calls for a whole jalapeno pepper

8:43 am

Aloyisius

just printed it out

8:43 am

rubyfoo

when I was still doing elaborate cooking, I used to make whole Indian meals, including making my own fresh cheese for deserts

8:44 am

Aloyisius

wow ruby

8:44 am

rubyfoo

made lamb curry mostly plus a really simple lentil recipe if anybody wants it

8:45 am

rubyfoo

and a wonderful, also simple, side dish of ground peanuts, coconuts and brown sugar

8:45 am

Aloyisius

we should have a "what's for supper" chat every day - but only tried and true and delicious meals can be suggested

8:46 am

rubyfoo

it was fun and interesting, but my energy is gone. I'd be happy to share any ideas if anybody wants them

8:46 am

rubyfoo

I've become a lazy sloth in my old age!

8:47 am

rubyfoo

speaking of which, Indian rendered buttrer is in here

8:48 am

rubyfoo

( is that where this all started) I just came in to the room

8:48 am

Aloyisius

no, carlee and herin started it

8:49 am

Aloyisius

can't blame it on FM... where is she anyway? haven't seen her in ages

8:50 am

rubyfoo

in the US, I made friends with various Indian ladies over the years, and they gave me great American substitutes for things like buffalo milk!

8:51 am

Aloyisius

thinking.. what is close to buffalo milk?

8:51 am

rubyfoo

e.g. Bisquick plus powdered milk into a stiff dough which you fry in a syrup flavored with saffron and cardamon to make gulab jam

8:51 am

rubyfoo

jaman*

8:54 am

Aloyisius

FW.. and I have to scoot, so off I go.. ruby, just cook what you feel like cooking and don't feel bad if it isn't elaborate.. sounds like you have been there and done that and now.. just have fun in the kitchen.. I love to cook now, but I didn't when I was constantly rushed.. ciao for now, Poof

9:05 am

uusue2

I have an appointment with a therapist for him on Thursday - he may not want to go but I plan to insist - he's been through a very traumatic experience and has been in a dysfunctional relationship for 4 years

9:05 am

mrpresident

therapy is the best!! good for you sue!!

9:05 am

mrpresident

he needs to feel the pain and let it go

9:06 am

uusue2

and to learn that he did nothing wrong (except love and trust someone who wasn't worthy of it)

9:06 am

mrpresident

is she still harassing him via text??

9:07 am

uusue2

no, I've cut the connection between their phones and the police have warned her off

9:07 am

mrpresident

10:56 am

hootowl

The sec ga5/14 I've never seen used by itself

10:56 am

flosey

11:20 am

Nef

And everyine left

11:21 am

Nef

everyone who's chatty I guess

11:24 am

MollyL

Hi again Nef

11:25 am

Nef

hi Molly

11:25 am

Nef

how's everything going with you?

11:25 am

MollyL

Not bad.

11:26 am

Nef

does that mean "not good" also?

11:27 am

MollyL

No, I'm doing well. I just had some fresh tomato/vegetable juice that I made last night. Whee, I was a little heavy handed on the tabasco.

11:27 am

Nef

that sounds really good! Our tomatoes are way behind -- all of our veggies are this year

11:28 am

MollyL

This was all from store bought stuff. My garden tomatoes are still small and green, but looking very healthy.

11:29 am

Nef

(I keep trying to make words out of letters that are already blackened out; must need coffee!)

11:29 am

MollyL

And I noticed two blossoms on the zucchini plant last night, which is nice because I thought I was losing that plant.

11:30 am

Nef

I haven't been out to the garden sinceSunday; the strawberries are probably being eaten by all the bunnies by now

11:34 am

Nef

we've found at least 3 nests of bunnies in our yard this year. My daughter goes out there and catches a bunny and bringsd it in for DH's Aunt to see

11:36 am

MollyL

They are cute, but they will eat up your vegetable garden no doubt.

11:36 am

crosshair

they eat the veggies,we eat the rabbits,the circle of life:)) hehe

11:38 am

Nef

I haven't eaten rabbits since I was young, crossy. We had neighbors that raised them (not sure what wild rabbits would taste like; not crazy about some wild meats taste like

11:39 am

crosshair

i am just joshing with you nef,they have a gamy taste and are rather oily and best suited for stews only

11:39 am

crosshair

not something i actively seek out for dinner;)

11:40 am

crosshair

besides scrabbs would kill me:)

11:41 am

Nef

I don't like the gamy taste. When DH was a hunter, he'd go up to a friends' farm and they'd bring back venison that had been corn fed. It was delicious! But another friend would hunt in Wisconsin and the venison had a gamy taste-- too many acorn fed deer there!

11:41 am

crosshair

and if you are in the bush and in need,porcupine is better anyways

11:42 am

Nef

EEEWWW! Thanks, but no thanks! (I live in the City!

11:42 am

crosshair

acorns can make meat bitter,acorn meal can make a suitable bush flour,but only after it has been soaked for 24 hours and rinsed well,then dried

11:42 am

Kaplan the Magne

No eating bunnies!!!

11:43 am

crosshair

crossy will not eat the bunnies kap

11:43 am

Kaplan the Magne

thank you

11:47 am

MollyL

If forced into survivalist mode, I would be fishing while others hunted.

11:47 am

crosshair

and a wounded deer run too long can make meat inedible.a deers heart and blood works are an amazing thing.if you just wound a deer and do not bring him down cleanly,he can run for hours and hours,replacing his blood loss easily,but the iron build up in the meat gets crazy.so rule number one is,if you cannot do a clean kill,do not take the shot

11:48 am

Nef

I promise not to ever shoot a deer, crossy

11:49 am

crosshair

lol,i am sure that is best nef

11:49 am

Nef

(not an hunter; I'll join Molly at the fishing hole)

11:49 am

MollyL

I shoot deer with my camera, that's it.

11:49 am

crosshair

we get amazing salmon here nef come onver and i will take you fishing

11:50 am

MollyL

Nef, I think I'd go live where I could shrimp. It's amazing how much shrimp you can trawl in an hour.

11:51 am

jmcnrick

i am good a foraging mushrooms and other veggies in the woods

11:51 am

jmcnrick

hi all

11:51 am

crosshair

mmmmmm..shrimp,with a bucket of burbling garlic butter....

11:51 am

Nef

We went fishing up on Lake Superior and also Lake Michigan a few times. I always caught the biggest salmon without trying; had to have someone else finish reeling them in for me

11:51 am

jmcnrick

here for a few minutes

11:52 am

crosshair

i caught a 40 pound salmon once...took 25 minutes to bring him in

11:52 am

crosshair

howdy jmc

11:52 am

Nef

morels! Jmc, I had several morels in my front yard this year! They were so good!

11:52 am

MollyL

Foraging is a good skill.

11:52 am

crosshair

that is not a good eating size though..ten to eighteen pounds is best

11:52 am

jmcnrick

*starts chopping dill*

11:52 am

jmcnrick

morels are especially easy in a way since they look like nothing else

11:53 am

jmcnrick

wtg nef

11:53 am

MollyL

Salmon with dill and lemon butter. The best.

11:53 am

crosshair

should of been here at fiddlehead time..was chaos lol

11:53 am

Nef

I caught a 20 pound salmon on each of 2 trips. DH threatened not to take me any more

11:53 am

jmcnrick

sorry crossy the canadians can keep fiddle heads

11:54 am

crosshair

lol nef..it is a truth that the one in the boat with the least experience will always catch the biggest fish lol

11:54 am

Nef

I'd love to try fiddleheads. I've read so much about them

11:54 am

crosshair

the season for them is so short..2 to 3 weeks tops

11:54 am

jmcnrick

better than rape from WV

11:55 am

Nef

Ooops! gotta run! Taking DH's AUnty to the mall to buy her some smaller clothes. She says it's time (she's been sleeping in the chair for over an hour now)

11:55 am

crosshair

and you always have to leave 2 on a plant

11:55 am

jmcnrick

bye nef

11:55 am

yummy -- lunch is served!!

11:56 am

MollyL

And what are we dining on today Ms Short And Blond?

11:57 am

EvaNadine

today is chorizo + cheese wrapped up in a crescent roll (2 of those) and a side salad with field greens, boiled egg, corn, carrots, blue cheese + dried cranberries with a balsamic vinaigrette

11:57 am

EvaNadine

i also have a snack pack for dessert. ;)

11:57 am

MollyL

Wow! That sounds delicious.

11:57 am

periwinkle

hi all, help with st9 pls

11:58 am

What shines from the twinklies in the sky Peri

11:58 am

stidmama

mmmmm. *sits next to EvaN and nibbles daintily* hey all, about to take a "webinar" on use of technology in education, but couldn't resist popping in...

11:58 am

periwinkle

duh, had both words, did not think to put them together, ty

11:58 am

EvaNadine

it IS, molly!
and surprisingly, this was a "fridge cleanout" meal!

*Fluffs a pillow for Stid in case she nods off*

11:59 am

MollyL

A+ on leftover usage Eva.

11:59 am

EvaNadine

last night i served these with salsa, but i forgot to bring some + they didnt have any in the caf, so i grabbed a little thing of hot peppers. going to use these sparingly...

12:00 pm

stidmama

just coined a phrase "pit stick" as in: teenagers should use one first thing in the morning, especially in the summer!!!!!

12:00 pm

EvaNadine

i have recently discovered that you could wrap up pretty much anything in crescent rolls, pizza dough, phyllo, or wontons, and it somehow just tastes better...heh

12:01 pm

EvaNadine

stid, as my hubby would say, they need some DO for their BO

12:01 pm

MollyL

Going without deodorant in my house was non-negotiable. I have three sons, I know what happens when that gets ignored.

12:01 pm

stidmama

LOL evaN!

12:01 pm

stidmama

okay, I am off to the seminar... see you soon! *poof*

12:02 pm

MollyL

I'm all for anything wrapped in dough Eva. Especially if it involves cheese.

12:02 pm

EvaNadine

im still working on figuring out how to stuff more filling in here...it seems so full when i try to wrap them up, but then the crescent roll gets all puffy when it bakes, and it seems more roll than filling...

12:02 pm

rubyfoo

good evening everybody

12:03 pm

MollyL

My stromboli is simply frozen bread dough, defrosted and rolled into a rectangle, then layered with pepperoni, ham and white American. Roll it up, bake it and slice it when cooled. My kids beg for that stuff.

12:04 pm

MollyL

Hi Ruby

12:04 pm

EvaNadine

i made something similar once, only i did it calzone-style...
strombolli may be a little easier...

12:04 pm

MollyL

Try rolling the crescent dough thinner Eva.

12:05 pm

EvaNadine

i think i will try that next time. that was the epiphany i had after doing it this time...heh

12:05 pm

MollyL

You can use anything for the filling. Italian sausage, cheese and onion is another one I make. I know someone who does a cheeseburger one.

12:05 pm

MollyL

And how is our Ruby today?

12:07 pm

rubyfoo

our "our ruby" is hot! It is about 95F, very rare for here

12:08 pm

rubyfoo

and ty for the st9 clue, I didn't even have the beginning of it...doh me

12:10 pm

MollyL

Ruby, you are always hot, whether it's 95 degrees out or not. : P

12:11 pm

rubyfoo

12:19 pm

Riverdance

gr6 is another way of saying thank you

12:20 pm

rubyfoo

chorizo rolls sound like Spanish pigs-in-a-blanket

12:20 pm

EvaNadine

ruby, they kinda are. i have done them im phyllo dough, which gets kinda crispy, sorta like an egg roll... but this bath is done in crescent rolls, so they are kinda soft...

12:21 pm

Riverdance

fireworks

12:21 pm

MollyL

the other ra6 is describing something shoddy or unkempt. Starts with what you clean with, ends with a childs game.

12:21 pm

Riverdance

hello again everyone

12:22 pm

flosey

hello river

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

they sell packaged phyllo dough here made with butter and it's wonderful. I'll have to try it with chorizo as I never thought of that

12:22 pm

flosey

and thanks again Molly

12:22 pm

12:24 pm

MollyL

Correct Eva. Cook away!

12:25 pm

MollyL

Fried, crumbled chorizo, a can of Rotel tomatoes and some melted Velveeta cheese makes an awesome nacho dip.

12:26 pm

EvaNadine

yup. i will try to get my dinner for tonight (hubby is at soccer, so im flying solo) and our dinners for tomorrow night too (i have running, so i sorta have half-a-dinner before and another half-a-dinner after)

MollyL

Crystal m*** + charged particle

12:29 pm

one of my favorite recipes that i did aws chorizo + goat cheese in phyllo dough.
hubby doesnt eat goat cheese, so i did regular shredded cheddar for him. we both LOVED them!
it was a ton of work, with the phyllo, but hubby liked them so much he told me he would help next time...heh

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

et + greeting + not off

12:30 pm

12:34 pm

flosey

12:36 pm

EvaNadine

i keep trying to explain to him that our tastebuds change as we grow up and that a lot of things he may not have liked as a kid he might like now.
i was SUPER picky as a kid and hated most foods, but i try almost anything now -- and have found i like a LOT of things i didnt like as a kid!

72 Temple Owl

5:20 pm

Wolvie

5:20 pm

uusue2

5:20 pm

lil*monkey

power was out from about 4:30 until a few mins ago

5:21 pm

MollyL

Cos, second st 5/14 is st 4/6 with an extra vowel in the middle.

5:21 pm

lil*monkey

5:21 pm

Wolvie

5:21 pm

Wolvie

5:21 pm

Wolvie

5:21 pm

Wolvie

at least i remembered VA. lol

5:21 pm

lil*monkey

5:22 pm

MollyL

5:22 pm

lil*monkey

uusue2

5:23 pm

MollyL

Hi Sue

5:23 pm

lil*monkey

uh oh now the TV is broadcasting the severe weather alert ag5

5:23 pm

cosdem

st7 too?

5:23 pm

uusue2

bummer, lil!

5:24 pm

lil*monkey

st4ga4 is NOT a word? horrors!

5:24 pm

cosdem

i said the exact same thing word for word last night lil!

5:24 pm

lil*monkey

it was a great movie!

5:24 pm

cosdem

except for "horrors"

5:25 pm

cosdem

and tv series :)

5:25 pm

uusue2

just looked at your weather map, lil, if you are in the city the next set of storms may miss you but there's another set after that

5:25 pm

lil*monkey

what city, uusue

5:25 pm

Wolvie

well all - bb later - have to make supper. :-)

5:25 pm

lil*monkey

this is Hampton Roads, there are about 7 cities

5:25 pm

uusue2

I was looking at Newport News

5:26 pm

lil*monkey

later Wolvie, nice to see you !

5:26 pm

lil*monkey

no i am not in Newport News proper... I am on the York River in Yorktown

5:26 pm

MollyL

Oh great Lil, just looked at the weather map. What you have is headed my way. *Goes to charge all charge-ables*

5:26 pm

lil*monkey

sowwy Molly!

5:27 pm

cosdem

brb rurnning to 7-11 to get a refill before the rain starts

5:27 pm

MollyL

Well, by the way it looks, it will hit overnight.

5:27 pm

lil*monkey

run cos run!

5:27 pm

lil*monkey

run cos run!

5:28 pm

MollyL

*Wonders what Cos is refilling at 7-11*

5:28 pm

uusue2

There are storms around Hopewell that are headed your way, lil, but they don't seem to be moving fast

5:29 pm

lil*monkey

OK thanks for the update

5:29 pm

uusue2

there's a bigger clump over by Lynchburg. The whole thing looks spotty, though, with storms forming, dissipating, and reforming, so it's hard to tell

5:30 pm

lil*monkey

I find word of mouth combined with looking out the window and flipping a coin are much more accurate than what the TV weather idiots say

5:31 pm

stidgmere

Hi all. Just starting and have many words to go before I sleep but if I take the road less traveled, it might be better. I see Lil*monk you don't properly live in Newport News. We did years ago live in Denbigh. Kids went to the schools and we loved Williamsberg, etc.

5:31 pm

uusue2

I like to look at the maps myself, if possible

5:31 pm

uusue2

hi, gmere!

5:31 pm

MollyL

Spot on about the weather Lil.

5:31 pm

lil*monkey

oh there's a story on the news that is about to make me cry... did yall hear ? The elderly woman who was searched at the airport and was forced to remove her Depends so she could be searched. How horrible.

5:31 pm

stidgmere

We are map people but understand some people have no afinity for them.

5:32 pm

stidgmere

Hi uu. Makes you want to not travel by airplane these days, doesn't it.

5:32 pm

MollyL

Yes Lil, TSA needs to be disciplined for that.

5:32 pm

lil*monkey

oh stidgemere, small world eh?

5:32 pm

MollyL

Hi Grand Mere.

5:32 pm

stidgmere

Truely, also lived in South Carolina near Sumter long ago. The city, not the fort.

5:32 pm

lil*monkey

Stidgmere, I am in Yorktown village, by the battlefields.

5:33 pm

ladytraveler1979

it wouldn't happen if they would just profile people atsecurity

5:33 pm

lil*monkey

oh no! I hear sirens ag5

5:33 pm

lil*monkey

What do u mean, ldaytravel?

5:33 pm

uusue2

<--- just flew from Chicago to Newark, really like the new scanners

5:33 pm

ladytraveler1979

the TSA thing on the news

5:33 pm

uusue2

like El Al does, lil (I have flown them too)

5:33 pm

cosdem

ok back

5:33 pm

stidgmere

Loved Yorktown and Cornwallis Cave. Great Greek restaurant there 30 years ago.

5:33 pm

cosdem

did someone clue the st7 yet

5:33 pm

lil*monkey

uusue, the new scanners? Are those the ones where they can see you naked?

5:34 pm

lil*monkey

stidgmere, I live up the hill from the cave, I can walk there. The Greek restaurant is long gone, I heard it was totalled during Hurricane Isabel

5:34 pm

uusue2

those are the ones, lil - I have metal knees so with the new scanners I just get scanned and go on with my business. otherwise I have to have the full patdown, which doesn't offend me but does take a long time

5:34 pm

stidgmere

Only time I look thin is on the xray machines.

5:35 pm

lil*monkey

no i don't think so, cos

5:35 pm

ladytraveler1979

lmao

5:35 pm

stidgmere

ahh, places the same but change happens.

5:35 pm

lil*monkey

ladytravel, what did you mean by profile

5:35 pm

MollyL

Cos...go up a ****rcase + *** Golden Girls

5:35 pm

cosdem

thanks molly :)

5:35 pm

ladytraveler1979

old ladies with depends have never blown us up!

5:36 pm

cosdem

i was close. kept using the r which was my problem

5:36 pm

lil*monkey

that st7 is WACK

5:37 pm

uusue2

been through it with El Al, lil - they have trained screeners who have a little conversation with you about where you are going, who you are visiting, why you are going - they are very good at spotting suspicious people.

5:37 pm

cosdem

4 left.

5:37 pm

MollyL

Yeah, well profiling doesn't work either. My niece was detained because she has dark hair and dark eyes and her name was close to a person on the "person of interest" list.

5:38 pm

cosdem

when i flew to MN 2 weeks ago... the lady behind me had some muslim garb on and she was asked to go ina special room i thoguht it was disgusting

5:38 pm

ladytraveler1979

then we're back to screening everyone including old ladies with depends!

5:38 pm

uusue2

well, there is smart profiling (based on actual interviews) and stupid profiling (based on physical appearance and name coincidences). smart profiling can go a long way. Like I say, the Israelis use it and they have about as much experience with terrorism as anybody

5:38 pm

ladytraveler1979

I'd rather screen everyone and be safer than not!

5:39 pm

lil*monkey

REgardless of how anyone feels about someone in muslim garb, I still think it's ridiculous to search an old lady in a wheelchair and have her take off her Depend

5:39 pm

cosdem

fireworks

5:39 pm

MollyL

The US has a lot to learn about profiling. And trust me, I know people who have gotten jobs with TSA and it doesn't take much.

5:39 pm

MollyL

Yay Cos!!!

5:40 pm

uusue2

main problem with what the Israelis do is that it requires intense training and the process itself is time consuming

5:40 pm

ladytraveler1979

the story is that the depends showed a suspicious spot on the screening

5:40 pm

uusue2

and yay, cos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5:40 pm

lil*monkey

WTG cos!

5:40 pm

lil*monkey

what? ladytraveler?

5:40 pm

stidgmere

Have you noticed how stringent our TSA screeners are and then coming back from overseas they just put you on the plane.

5:40 pm

ladytraveler1979

and TSA will not be paying for intense training!

5:40 pm

uusue2

if you are flying to Israel you have to arrive about twice as early as when you are flying to other places

5:40 pm

MollyL

<--- No comment on a "suspicious spot" in a Depends.

5:40 pm

lil*monkey

suspcious spot?

5:41 pm

ladytraveler1979

lol Molly

5:41 pm

uusue2

so if you want to hire a bunch of people at minimum wage and give them a few hours worth of training you are going to be stuck with what we have now

5:41 pm

ladytraveler1979

yeah, that's what the story was saying

5:41 pm

MollyL

More like a suspicious splot. Oops, I commented.

5:41 pm

lil*monkey

what does that mean, ladytraveler?

5:41 pm

uusue2

and I assume the suspicious spot was because the Depends were wet and therefore opaque to the x-rays (which only scan the surface, not like a medical x-ray)

5:42 pm

lil*monkey

OMG that poor lady

5:42 pm

ladytraveler1979

what are you asking?

5:42 pm

lil*monkey

I'm asking what did they mean by a suspicious spot

5:42 pm

MollyL

Old lady packs explosive in her diaper! News at 11!

5:42 pm

uusue2

apparently the lady herself (a retired nurse) wasn't particularly distressed by the incident but her daughter was so upset that she had to take a later flight

5:43 pm

cosdem

maybe she had a vibrator with her?

5:43 pm

ladytraveler1979

I'm not entirely sure

5:43 pm

lil*monkey

LMAO LOL

5:43 pm

ladytraveler1979

lmao

5:43 pm

cosdem

sure shes old but doesnt mean she has urges ya know

5:44 pm

lil*monkey

*note to self: leave the kitty buzzer at home next time*

5:44 pm

MollyL

There is not enough space or time here to tell you the stuff my TSA friend employees have found in luggage. One word...KINKY

5:44 pm

lil*monkey

well give one example, Molly... LOL

5:45 pm

MollyL

S & M paraphernalia neatly stored in zip loc bags.

5:45 pm

lil*monkey

Ew! hahahhahhaa

5:45 pm

ladytraveler1979

All kinds of people in the world!

5:48 pm

MollyL

Okay, icky news. Apparently there has been a rash of stun gun robberies at ATMs late at night. Take care folks.

5:49 pm

lil*monkey

Inever go to the ATM at ngiht!

5:49 pm

uusue2

walk-ups or drive-ups? or both? (I'm guessing walk-ups)

5:49 pm

MollyL

Smart Lil. In these tough economic times, criminals are resorting to all kinds of new moves.

5:50 pm

uusue2

but I never go to the ATM much at all as I am usually too broke to get any money out...

5:50 pm

MollyL

Drive ups Sue, that is what's startling.

5:50 pm

ladytraveler1979

Really!

5:50 pm

uusue2

interesting!

5:50 pm

MollyL

I almost never use ATMs. I am more likely to get cash back at the grocery store.

5:51 pm

periwinkle

Dinner is ready at Chez Peri!! The veggie stuffe4d peppers trned out pretty well.

5:51 pm

MollyL

Ooo la la Mmme. Peri

5:51 pm

lil*monkey

MMmmmmm sounds good Peri!

5:52 pm

uusue2

yummy, peri!

5:52 pm

MollyL

Speaking of GOOD...I found Heath Bar bits to put in cookies at Wal-Mart today. There are some good cookies in our forecast.

5:53 pm

uusue2

<--- lines up for cookies

5:53 pm

lil*monkey

oh yes, Molly, I hve used those before

5:53 pm

lil*monkey

they are EXCELLENT

5:53 pm

MollyL

I think they will be awesome in brownies too.

5:53 pm

lil*monkey

Mmmm yes!

5:54 pm

ladytraveler1979

You're all making me want dessert

5:54 pm

periwinkle

I am going to make an easy verions of Pan au Choclat this weekend. bought puff pastry for the first time today.

5:55 pm

lil*monkey

I made zucchini brownies the other day YUM

5:55 pm

MollyL

I need to go to Wal-Mart more often. Some of their grocery items are way cheaper than the grocery store. For instance, I pay 4 bucks and change for a large jar of Miracle Whip at the grocery store. 2.50 at Wal-Mart. And there were about ten other similar items at half the price.

5:55 pm

ladytraveler1979

sounds delish, lil

5:56 pm

Krista

hi all...good time to come to the chog...I am still recovering from the BAKLAVA CHEESECAKE I had today. Yes, you read that right.

5:56 pm

lil*monkey

I buy Yoplait at Walmart, the price difference is almost 40 cents per cup, Molly

5:56 pm

uusue2

<--- agrees with Molly about Walmart

5:56 pm

MollyL

I totally hate shopping at Wal-Mart, but I can make a once a month early morning run for prices like that.

5:56 pm

lil*monkey

all the meat is cheaper too! oh and Perrier water, which I am addicted to, is about $3 cheaper per six pack

5:57 pm

lil*monkey

I go at the crack of dawn on a Sunday, it's usually pretty quiet then

5:57 pm

MollyL

Lil, Wal-Mart or Sam's Club?

5:57 pm

ladytraveler1979

I hate shopping at Wal-Mart but love their prices

5:58 pm

lil*monkey

Walmart, molly

5:58 pm

lil*monkey

OK i gotta run for a bit, BBL

5:59 pm

Krista

No one is impressed by BAKLAVA CHEESECAKE? I about fell off my chair when I saw it.

crosshair

8:25 pm

crosshair

ahh,the heat ..when your hearts beat as one..of giving your all and yielding to your instincts...of just staring into each others eyes for hours...

My two hounds are also abused ... no play today, too rainy. You should see the looks. I should be reported.

10:15 pm

10:16 pm

10:16 pm

I'm sure they believe I have the power to do so and just don't love them enough to make it happen.

10:16 pm

I tossed down lucky's tug from the roof today... I hate ladders.

10:16 pm

wildcat17

or something like that

10:18 pm

stidmama

oh! and I collected more than a pint of strawberries from my untended garden this evening!

10:18 pm

Eva

i think there's a massive research project going on among our animal friends...hmmmm, interesting how she reacts when I turn my back and pretend she doesn't exist.....different from the response I get when I pounce on her foot in the middle of the night. These humans are endlessly entertaining

10:18 pm

Eva

the deer ate all my strawberry plants

10:19 pm

stidmama

the deer can't find my strawberries in all the weeds... but they took out one of my favorite (unknown) roses.

10:19 pm

10:21 pm

stidmama

oh the weather is just awful... everything here is late - if it's still alive

10:21 pm

Eva

rice and mangoes may have to replace maple syrup around here

10:22 pm

Nef

we have 3 rabbit nests in our yard that we know of; the darn things have eaten almost all the strawberries in the whole patch

10:23 pm

stidmama

It's peculiar weather. The figs though seem to really love it.

10:23 pm

Eva

good news is that I saw at least one bat flying around feeding tonight!! Very exciting as almost all of them around here have died of white nose fungus

10:24 pm

Nef

that is such an awful disease for the bats! We don't have it here yet; but I'm sure it will make its' way here in the near future

10:25 pm

Eva

incredibly sad

10:25 pm

stidmama

that is very good news EvaN -- we have plenty of bats here, but the bug population is a little low from the cold weather

10:25 pm

Eva

i hadn't seen one in a while so it really lifted my spirits

10:25 pm

Eva

our bug population is way up because of the rain, and the lack of bats

10:26 pm

stidmama

oops- sorry Eva, my figners were typing without me.

10:26 pm

Nef

It would be nice if they could find out what causes it

afternoon all :))

10:53 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

mrp, what cleavage you have! lolol (is that for a holiday in australia?)

10:55 pm

Nef

hi mrp. How are you doing?

10:57 pm

snags

clue for the ni6/33 please

10:59 pm

Nef

something you wear to bed, snags

10:59 pm

snags

what happens if you wear sweats and overshoes and a sheepskin??

11:00 pm

Nef

no one sleeps with you?

11:00 pm

snags

lol, yes hubby does, that why all the odd clothing !! Just teasing.

11:01 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

where does the sheepskin go? on second thought don't answer that? lolol

11:02 pm

Nef

I take it you understood my clue then! :-)

11:02 pm

snags

lolololo

11:02 pm

snags

yes I did, thank you Nef and I am kicking myself............ duh

11:02 pm

Nef

underneath the heels, Gwen

11:04 pm

snags

My apparel that I mentioned was something my first honey told everyone I wore to bed!! He even mentiong the overshoes were 4 bucklers. !! :)

11:04 pm

snags

That was his sense of humor.

11:04 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(this conversation is now way over my head) lolol

11:04 pm

snags

lolol mine too Gwen

11:05 pm

Nef

did you kick him with the overshoes? those buckles might catch on something then

11:06 pm

Nef

sheepskin under heels helps prevent pressure sores in sick elderly people (I worked in ICU for 34 years-- does it show?)

11:06 pm

snags

Well the way he described it, no one intheir right mind would find anything even slightly appealing.

11:08 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nef, you mean while walking, or sleeping, or what?

11:09 pm

Nef

sheepskin was used whenever there would be pressure on the feet. Usually in bed; but also it could be used if they were up in a chair too

11:10 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

how do you keep it on? adhesive?

11:11 pm

mrpresident

sorry, popped in and said hello and then got phone calls

***HUGS*** to all

11:11 pm

Nef

the sheepskin was large and would lay on the bed (or on the chair footrests) and then we'd put the patients' feet on top of that

11:11 pm

snags

Nef, back when I started working as an aide at the local hospital, small town of 2500 ppl or so, we did the work of an Rn with the exception of shots. We did everything else. There wasn't that big of a pool of RN's therefore they had to rely on us.

11:12 pm

mrpresident

just organised my trip to see my dad for a week!! leave on monday!! yayayayaya!! and taking lots of kids with me! Booooooo! but take the good with the ugly hey??

11:13 pm

snags

Have a great time MrP

11:13 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

maybe you can put the kids up on the cartop rack? lol

11:13 pm

Nef

snags, I started out in high school as an aide in the local nursing home, became an LPN and then an RN. There's a big difference in each job; but each level thinks the same thing: that they did the same as the next higher level.

11:13 pm

mrpresident

thanks snags! taking the train again!! best way to travel now

11:13 pm

snags

or, turn them into hood ornaments!! :)

11:14 pm

Nef

of course, you still have trains! (we usians don't travel by train much, with exception of some big-city commuter trains and subway trains

11:16 pm

mrpresident

sorry for the tatas girls, but it was in the grid and had to use it as a profile pic, cause it is never in a friday grid!!

11:16 pm

mrpresident

our country is as large as yours gwen

11:16 pm

mrpresident

trains are the best form of transport if you are not in a hurry, and costs less than petrol and car use

11:17 pm

mrpresident

we only have 22 million people here though

11:17 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

nothing to do with size, just the train industry got kicked to shreds by the truck industry. this was decades ago

11:18 pm

Nef

I love to travel by trains, but our US mentality doesn't think about running them at sensible times and to the correct places anymore

11:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

there's a movement right now to pressure gibmint (or industry) to build high-speed rail here, but i doubt it will happen any time soon

11:19 pm

mrpresident

we are lucky like that nef... can cross the whole country in three days and it is amazing!!

11:19 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

(oops, gibment = gubmint = the busybodies in washington)

11:20 pm

mrpresident

we are going to Perth for sure in September... 3 day trip on the amazing cross country 1st class cabins. we have lot's of different types of trains and good timetables

11:20 pm

mrpresident

high speed rail is great! shame we don't have it

11:20 pm

mrpresident

but we will get it cause the UK is getting it.

11:21 pm

mrpresident

good stuff Gwen!! hope it happens for you

11:21 pm

mrpresident

the damage to the high speed rail system in Japan was just devastating!!

11:22 pm

mrpresident

I hope and pray for that country still every day, and New Zealand

11:22 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

there's so much effin corruption in our gubmint right now, nothing's happening except more tax breaks for billionaires. GRRRRRRR

11:23 pm

mrpresident

a$$holes gwen

11:24 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

yep. right now our state governor (Rick Snyder) and two other state governors (both also named Rick) are reaming the people good and hard

11:25 pm

mrpresident

rick the prick!

11:26 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

times three!! lolol

11:27 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

our governor passed a law that he will fire the elected officials and appoint his own administrator of any town (city, village) that is not running the place right. Fascism.

11:27 pm

snags

Gwen where is that??

11:28 pm

Nef

Somehow that sounds totally illegal

11:28 pm

snags

Minn.

11:28 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

michigan, snags. they are already up to no good all over Battle Creek

11:28 pm

snags

Minnesota??

11:29 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

i expect it will be overturned, but i also expect that none of the criminals will see any prison time

11:29 pm

snags

Was it Wi, that started with Scott Walker??

11:29 pm

Nef

NOT MN, snags! I live here

11:30 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

Scott Walker is pretty rotten, too. I'm not usually one for punitive justice but these people are serious criminals and they need to be locked up

11:30 pm

snags

You need a recall election.

11:30 pm

snags

Agree.

11:30 pm

Nef

Wisconsin's Scott walker needs to be run out of the country!

11:31 pm

Uneaixoise

yes!!!!!

11:31 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

did you hear this one: CEO who ripped off about 2 billion dollars, he got less than 4 year prison sentence. Homeless man who stole $100 from a bank, then turned himself in the next day and gave the money back, he got 15 years

11:31 pm

snags

iwish we knew how to fix things in this country. The whole govt at all levels are for the most part...crooks.

11:32 pm

snags

Gwen, didn't the bank robber just want a place to stay, and free medical care??

11:32 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

the way to fix it is to outlaw all private money in campaigns. easy-peasy.

11:32 pm

mrpresident

well, how friggin blind is justice!!

11:32 pm

mrpresident

hi une!!

11:33 pm

mrpresident

haven't watched my Wimbledon today!!! how is my Djok and Nade going??

11:33 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

don't know much else about the bank robber, just what i heard on Thom Hartmann's radio show. i assume the CEO was white and the bank robber was not, otherwise sentences might have been a lot different

11:34 pm

Nef

I think that way to solve the problem is NO money from corporations, rich people or lobbyists should be allowed

11:34 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

and i want free medical care, too. humpf

11:34 pm

Poirot

Gwen .. you need to get your facts straight before you go off ... the robber tried stealing a dollar the first time .. he wanted to go to prision.

11:34 pm

Uneaixoise

Novak breezed thru -- Rafa had an MRI after yesterday's match *gasp* -- thought he might have broken something in his heel but it's ok - - whew!!

11:35 pm

Uneaixoise

all the big guys play tomorrow -- can't wait!!

11:35 pm

Book Doctor Gwen

poirot, i'm just comparing sentences -- stealing $2 billion vs. stealing $100 (and giving it back!)

11:36 pm

Uneaixoise

sentencing in this country is insane

11:38 pm

Uneaixoise

ok -- I'm gone -- BBL *poof*

11:39 pm

Nef

11:40 pm

Nef

And I'm giving up and going to bed too. Niters, All! Happy Babbling!
