1:19 am
westford
herin can you pick up an old jelly cupboard? had one in my bathroom for years
1:19 am
herinfernallady
West someone needs to move their old and heavy Marshal Amp out of the closet. I would rather look at that than the plastic boxes.
1:20 am
herinfernallady
West we are going to look at second's stores
1:20 am
FishFishGarden
and surely one who b***s is a b***er, no?
1:20 am
westford

1:20 am
cosdem
exactly fish!
1:20 am
FishFishGarden
and if the b***er b***s me, am I not the b***ee?
1:21 am
cosdem
one who bo4 is indeed a bo**er, and if he has bo4 before then he has bo**ed.
1:21 am
herinfernallady
This think is one of the big old school rocker things. I would rather look at that
1:21 am
westford
can the amp be used as a side table? I take it he doesn't use it any more but can't bear to get rid of it
1:22 am
herinfernallady
O that is a good idea on the spare room. BRILLIANT thinking
1:22 am
westford
is one who gets bo** a bo**ee?
1:22 am
westford
throw a cloth over it
1:23 am
herinfernallady
You do realise that the Bo 4 that you are talking about is the naughty you do with your partner here
1:24 am
westford
here too lol
1:24 am
cosdem
yes herin i do realize that.
1:24 am
herinfernallady
Ok good to know that I wasn't missing something
1:24 am
westford
apparently it's universal
1:25 am
westford
what do the English do? I know there's a word that isn't used here
1:25 am
herinfernallady
Good because you never know
1:26 am
cosdem
shag west?
1:26 am
herinfernallady
sigh. Why is it when you say 'I cleaned the house' the response is 'Did you get rid of your books too
1:26 am
westford
yes but not that
1:27 am
westford
oh no herin that's not the response I would give
1:27 am
cosdem
ok 7's done now.
1:27 am
herinfernallady
His mother is on a rant again about how he should sell his books and figures

1:30 am
herinfernallady
They are in two boxes. I think he wants to tip them out and see what he has. Give stuff to his nephews.
1:31 am
herinfernallady
I refuse to get in the argument of telling him ''They are just stuff get rid of it'' As i wouldn't expect him to say that to me about my photos and diaries
1:32 am
westford
don't like houses that are sterile
1:32 am
herinfernallady
Ok sad to admit but I have 3 Star Wars Mr Potato heads up

It will be lunch first -- the appt is for 2 pm. I'm bound by the ferries as to when I leave here.
1:41 am
westford

1:41 am
jillibus
I have a vacuum packing machine but in the past have just used a ziplock bag and a straw to such the air out -- no problem.
1:42 am
westford
sounds good
1:43 am
herinfernallady
brb
1:43 am
jillibus
we're having dismal weather -- cloudy, drizzly, in the 60s F for several days. We've only had a few sunny warm days and no real heat. Haven't been swimming yet. So far it's been an unsummer.
1:44 am
jillibus

flosey
here, son and family here until Saturday
2:05 am
westford
how nice for you
2:05 am
flosey
fron Toronto
2:06 am
flosey
we've been having a great time
2:06 am
westford
they escaped the heat
2:06 am
flosey
I guess, haven't been talking with anyone back there to know
2:07 am
westford
I imagine William is being treated like a little prince
2:07 am
flosey
they were all over for the weekend, the grandsons met for first time
2:07 am
westford
love to see pictures are you going to post some? of everyone
2:08 am
flosey
daughters are both living in Vancouver, sons both in Toronto
2:08 am
flosey
will try to do that west
2:08 am
westford
yes, I remember that must be hard to have the 2 so far away
2:09 am
westford
but you fly out a few times a year, don't you?
2:09 am
flosey
yes, missed a lot of Nathan's growing up - he's 13 now
2:10 am
flosey
yes, I did fly back twice a year, missed May this year because of them coming here
2:10 am
westford
and time flies..our Caity is 22 today
2:10 am
flosey
wow, yes, time really does fly
2:10 am
westford
her mother ( our oldest ) is moving to Seattle on Monday so we'll have 2 here and 2 on the west coast
2:11 am
flosey
I thought you were on the west coast? where are you?
2:11 am
westford
we're in RI
2:12 am
flosey
oh, way east
2:12 am
flosey
just like our family then
2:12 am
westford
son is about an 1 1/2 hours away and other daughter is 2 1/2 hours away both in MA
2:13 am
westford
love the west coast wish it wasn't so far..can't talk the middle of the country into disappearing lol
2:13 am
flosey
but you can just get in the car and drive - no ferries to factor into driving time
2:13 am
flosey
yes, we live in wide countries
2:14 am
westford
we can indeed but it's schedules that mess things up
2:14 am
westford
we're all gathering for brunch on Sunday to say good-bye and celebrate 3 birthdays
2:15 am
westford
we just 'borrowed' the 2 youngest this past Sunday..really needed a granddaughter fix
2:15 am
flosey
how lucky you are
2:16 am
westford
the baby is 5 now
2:16 am
flosey
we were just talking about that here, Nathan is now old enough that he could come out by himself
2:16 am
westford
that would be such a treat
2:17 am
westford
and the airlines are usually good about supervising
2:17 am
flosey
yes, parents can get him on in TO, we'd meet him in Victoria
2:17 am
westford
would he have to change planes?
2:18 am
flosey
no, there are direct flights
2:19 am
westford
does he have a brother or sister or both?
2:19 am
flosey
we have only the 2 grandchildren
2:20 am
westford
so no jealousy about him coming out
2:20 am
flosey
we were lucky to have him, they didn't think it was possible
2:21 am
westford
that's so wonderful
2:21 am
flosey
and William will be an only as well, but they have several friends having children around his age
2:22 am
westford
I remember the trouble your daughter had when she had William..you must live under a lucky star
2:22 am
flosey
I think so, west, but we've all been blessed with these two
2:23 am
westford
before you know it Nathan and William will be hanging out
2:24 am
flosey
sounds great
2:24 am
westford
the older they get the less of an age difference
2:24 am
flosey
yes, for sure
2:24 am
flosey
really only 11 years difference
2:25 am
westford
what did Nathan think of William and vice versa?
2:26 am
flosey
Nathan was so anxious to meet his one cousin from his Dad's side - has many cousins on his Mom's side
2:26 am
westford
do they favor each other at all?
2:26 am
flosey
William just loves any attention, he can be a little ham
2:27 am
westford
my favorite William story is how he just got up and walked on Father's Day
2:27 am
flosey
do you mean in appearance? not at all
2:28 am
flosey
that will never be forgotten here! it was just so special
2:28 am
westford
yes, that's what I meant
2:28 am
westford
perfect gift !
2:29 am
flosey
Nathan's mom is Philippino, so he has brown eyes, black hair, William has blue eyes and fair hair that I expect will end up darker brown
2:30 am
westford
both sound handsome
2:30 am
flosey
I think so!
2:31 am
westford
you're going to miss Nathan
2:31 am
westford
and his parents
2:31 am

flosey

2:36 am
westford

2:37 am
westford

2:39 am
flosey

westford
I don't know if you remember me telling about an article I read about the ferries..been wanting to ride them ever since

westford
I hear it's pretty nice
2:40 am
flosey

flosey
I have a cousin living in Vancouver, Washington - haven't managed to get hubby to drive down to visit them
2:41 am
flosey
but they've been up a couple of times
2:41 am
westford
why should you want to go back when you already live in Paradise
2:42 am
westford
we've been as far north as Portland Oregon
2:42 am
flosey
but home is always home - I still refer to Toronto as home
2:42 am
westford
but I hear so many wonderful things about Vancouver
2:43 am
westford
I'm back home now grew up here
2:43 am
flosey

2:44 am
flosey
they're so majestic, and snow topped even in summer
2:44 am
westford
you have the best of both worlds
2:45 am
flosey
I've never been south of New York City, on the east coast, have been to CA a couple of times because I had a school chum living there
2:46 am
westford
we were down in the southern part of VA a few weeks ago..all I can say is heat and traffic
2:47 am
flosey
yes, many friends went to Florida, just didn't ever appeal to me
2:47 am
westford
we stayed in Ocean City Maryland years ago and wanted to drive by just to see it..all high rise condos
2:47 am
westford
condos now that is..couldn't even see the water
2:48 am
flosey
we went to Lake Placid on our honeymoon - you couldn't see the lake, was so built up all around
2:48 am
westford
I really don't understand how that happens
2:48 am
westford
everyone wants to be on the water I guess
2:52 am
flosey
wow, it's almost 1 am. are you up late? or up very early
2:53 am
flosey
isn't it around 4: there
2:53 am
westford
but it's nice to be here
2:53 am
westford

2:53 am
flosey
I've really enjoyed our chat
2:53 am
westford
it's been raining so I don't think we'll have the crew tomorrow so I can sleep in
2:53 am
westford

2:56 am
westford
not sure how to spell that
2:57 am
flosey
we took them to the gardens last time they were out
2:57 am
westford
I was just going to ask if you were leaving them to their own devices lol
2:58 am
westford
our daughters took their grandfather on a cruise to Alaska and that was one place they raved about
2:58 am
westford
thanks flosey now I'll remember
2:58 am
flosey
I always wanted to take that cruise to Alaska, may yet, we'll see
2:59 am
flosey
hubby is suggesting a cruise to celebrate 50th anniversary
2:59 am
westford
maybe we'll go together
2:59 am
westford
is that coming up soon?
2:59 am
flosey
now that would be fun
2:59 am
flosey
yes, August 26
3:00 am
westford
oh how nice..seems like only yesterday, doesn't it?
3:00 am
flosey
sure doesn't seem like 50 years!
3:01 am
westford
you wouldn't be going in August, would you?
3:02 am
flosey
no, but really don't know when we'd go
3:02 am
westford
that's just around the corner
3:02 am
flosey
hubby is so involved with his gardens
3:02 am
westford
girls and Dad went in July and it was pretty cold already
3:03 am
westford
ah yes, the gentleman farmer
3:03 am
flosey
wow, guess one really has to be prepared
3:03 am
westford
well they did go rough water kayaking
3:03 am
flosey
we've been advised to go on the largest ship that goes to Alaska
3:04 am
westford
not my cup of tea lol
3:05 am
flosey
wow, that's one thing that I'd like to have done - but not at my age now
3:05 am
westford
the sad thing is that my father-in-law was already in the end stages of dementia and he didn't even remember going
3:05 am
westford
but the girls did and were so happy to have that time with him
3:06 am
flosey
oh, how sad, but he must have enjoyed being there at the time?
3:06 am
westford
he really did but when his daughter asked him how he liked it he said he wasn't there
3:08 am
westford
I think his vision of Alaska was the wide open spaces and grizzly bears
3:08 am
flosey
ah, disappointing for the girls but they still have great memories of him enjoying it at the time
3:08 am
westford
yes they do
3:09 am
flosey
now, I must really get to bed, have to be out of here shortly after 9: to catch the 9:50 ferry tomorrow

6:42 am
MollyL
Fresh bran muffins for you Kap, as you turn your nose up at any other breakfast food. : P
6:42 am
Kaplan the Magne
I co8'ed you
6:43 am
Kaplan the Magne
I am compulsive about my morning muffin. It's pathological.
6:43 am

Which would make you the opposite of a co9. I'm not sure it's a good thing to be pathological about bran muffins. : P
6:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
It is a bad thing. but whatever.

Well, you get lots of fiber points for it.

You are plum right about that.

MollyL
Or Peter Peter, we all know what a perv he was.
6:53 am
Kaplan the Magne
Bizarro.
6:53 am
Kaplan the Magne
Is there such a thing as an annotated Mother Goose? I would love to know if these were cultural references in any way.
6:54 am
Kaplan the Magne
Why don't the school boards in Tennessee take Mother Gosse off the shelves, anyway?

8:19 am
carleekat

I figure if I stay permanently confused it solves a lot of things.
8:19 am
car.eeyore
TY! I look a beat up from being in the 90 degree weather for almost 2 hours, but hey! Its the cup!
8:19 am

Hi Lynxx

Evening all

carlee I thought as a single mother of two boys and broke I just knew I wanted to go to school. my brother said there was no way (whom I put through school on my dime) and that he could not help me at all. Well that day I went of the FAFSA site and found that they give money to poor women and I applied! 48hrs later was registration and I walked into the school knowing nothing because I droppe out in the 10th grade and got my GED. I met Ruth Parker (who was advising at a table) and the rest is history. I walked the walk in May with my gold tassle and I get my degree Aug 1st. All payed for by God and the USA
8:19 am

8:21 am
suefrad625

8:21 am
car.eeyore
Can you not change your "major" if you decide to go a different route?
8:21 am

8:21 am
Judi
With any luck, carlee, you'll be able to use some of your teaching credits towards the pharmacy tech degree. So, it might not be as daunting as you think. Best of luck whichever way you choose to go!
8:22 am

8:23 am
carleekat

There is no such thing, Carlee.
8:31 am
suefrad625
well, that reminds me, I have to build and sell some computers to earn the money to go to NYC to see my dads in Sept. I will be sneeking in to take advantage of clues. Carlee, take the step, education is NEVER a waste. and if I havent convenced you yet, I was 45 when I started the journey that I have loved.

9:21 am
herinfernallady
The boss in question was a complete tool. I was in the process of quitting and had himself with me to explain a few legal work things he was more familar with then I was. The boss was all ''you are just a tradie'' attitude
9:22 am
crosshair
got to hate that
9:22 am
herinfernallady
I have learnt one thing. Tradies usually have the money as they work hard
9:23 am
crosshair
do you know that you can now get legal insurance for individuals? for 300 a year you will have a number to call for legal questions and for a lawyer to write letters if needed and they will represent you in court up to 6 times a year(but not family law)
9:24 am
herinfernallady
That sounds good. I also needed a person as a support
9:25 am
crosshair
nothing like a warning typed up with a law office letterhead to make a person think twice about messing with you
9:26 am
herinfernallady
These days it seems that those letters don't work
9:27 am
crosshair
still works here,we dont sue for everything and anything,like some countries i shall not mention..hehe i saw one law advert on t.v the procedure involved the heard and it would save your life..the down side was it made you a diabetic.some southern lawyers office is trying to get people to sue

Not to worry Sprite. People have actually posted their phone numbers here and I think have escaped any privacy invasions. Although the way you posted your email address was "chat safe". : )

Hey Carlee :-)

hi ladies...piddly litle grid...hope it's not "one of those"
4:11 pm
uusue2
hi, krista, not too bad so far but I still have 43 to go
4:12 pm
Krista
yes, those may be the hardest 43 ever! (hope not)
4:12 pm
carleekat
there are a bunch of stoopid words
4:13 pm
Krista
I am seeing that already!
4:16 pm
Krista
I've gotten a few by mistyping.
4:16 pm
Soodle
Hey Sue :-). Hows things with that son of yours et al?
4:17 pm
uusue2
ok, soodle - court tomorrow :-(
4:18 pm
Soodle
Sue... Think Positive, yes? Best of luck!
4:18 pm
uusue2
he saw a therapist today (second visit); she thinks he ought to get all new friends (which he is sort of doing anyway although it's not always that easy) and and also that he is showing some signs of PTSD, which would not be at all surprising
4:18 pm
carleekat
what time is court?
4:18 pm
uusue2
I think tomorrow will be pretty much a non-event, he just enters a plea and then they set another court date
4:18 pm
uusue2
9 am Babble time :-)
4:19 pm
Soodle
Oh my, Sue. But he is heading in the right direction... progress..
4:19 pm
uusue2
yes, and he is doing surprisingly well, all things considered.
4:20 pm

uusue2
I'm sure we will be fine.
4:22 pm
uusue2
the GF was supposed to appear at our lawyer's today for a deposition; I am betting she didn't bother to show up
4:22 pm
Krista
hi Peri...just started, so do not have those words
4:22 pm
periwinkle
duh, found the co7 ty
4:22 pm
periwinkle
np Krista
4:22 pm
carleekat
well....he will get her statement one way or other
4:23 pm
periwinkle
got the wi7, dumb word
4:23 pm
periwinkle
not seeing the alt speling for the of7
4:23 pm
carleekat
lots of stoopid words...
4:23 pm
uusue2
"wrong" last vowel, peri
4:24 pm
uusue2
and yes, carlee, if she didn't appear he can get a court order, then she will be in real trouble if she ignores it
4:24 pm
carleekat
subpoena...
4:24 pm
carleekat
hostile witness
4:25 pm
uusue2
right, all of that
4:26 pm
carleekat
and if doesnt show up...contempt of court
4:26 pm
carleekat
i presume u are HOPING for all this
4:27 pm
periwinkle
missing an n from last column, have ne4/5
4:27 pm
uusue2
well, I think she will shoot herself in the foot with lies whenever he gets her to talk; I don't much care if she winds up in contempt in the process
4:28 pm
uusue2
I really don't hate her; I feel sorry for her and hope she gets help (she's only 19) but I am certainly ready for her not to be MY problem any more!!
4:28 pm
carleekat
no 6, 24 i think peri
4:28 pm
uusue2
right, carlee, thx!
4:29 pm
periwinkle
ok, ty will look
4:30 pm
carleekat
both of the right column n words are no i t hink...( i suck at figuring that out )
4:30 pm
uusue2
they are indeed, carlee
4:30 pm
MollyL
Point of law, aren't you in contempt if you fail to show for a deposition?
4:30 pm
carleekat
i just found a recipe for canadian moose wings....
4:30 pm
periwinkle
the no6 is past te3nse of the no4 ty
4:31 pm
carleekat
( i think is breach...contempt is once in the court proceedings....at least here )
4:31 pm
periwinkle
right column gray
4:31 pm
uusue2
I don't think so, molly although I am not sure
4:31 pm
carleekat
i mean...if u are just missing a deposition....can be rescheduled..( and u best have a good reason...like being hit by mack truck )
4:32 pm
carleekat
its an information gathering in the early stage of process....
4:32 pm
carleekat
so not even a breach here come to think of it...
4:32 pm
periwinkle
25 left, bbl
4:33 pm
carleekat
anyway..these moose wings look good
4:33 pm
MollyL
So a person is under no legal obligation to show up for a deposition. What's the point of them then?
4:33 pm

u have right to remain silent
4:34 pm
MollyL
<---Sticks fingers in ears, sings la, la, la and ignores moose wings talk
4:34 pm
lbdawger
moose don't have wings! sillly girls
4:34 pm
MollyL
Right to remain silent, yes, for those charged. She's the one who is claiming the charges.
4:35 pm
carleekat
u are under your constitution...our bill of rights and freedoms.. free from providing information to implicate yourself
4:35 pm
carleekat
yes...but is criminal..not civil....and the police already "witnessed" a supposed crime
4:35 pm
carleekat
( is chicken drumsticks....not unlike buffalo wings)
4:36 pm
carleekat
they can find the info elsewhere....just takes longer...but without her deposition..the prosecution will have a harder time "convicting"
4:37 pm
uusue2
I am trying to find out; the lawyer can ask the judge to issue a warrant compelling her to appear (if she doesn't the first time), then if she doesn't it would be contempt; she could plead the 5th in any case but would have to show up to do so
4:38 pm
uusue2
and I presume that failure to show would damage the prosecution's case since it relies primarily on her testimony
4:38 pm
MollyL
That's what I don't get. Plead the 5th for what? She's the one pressing charges.
4:39 pm
carleekat
yes..but in this case..she assaulted him..but that not part of her story...so...she is avoiding making a statement cus she now knows she's in do do and a smart lawyer is going to tangle her words
4:40 pm
uusue2
she didn't press charges, molly, the police did. and she could certainly be charged with various crimes based on her statements
4:41 pm
carleekat
so....plead the 5th cus she willjust implicate herself
4:41 pm
MollyL
Well, if she fails to show up, I hope that makes her look like the big liar that she is, in the eyes of the judge.
4:41 pm
carleekat
( am i kinda getting the US laws kinda right here sue?)
4:41 pm
MollyL
Pleading the 5th when you are the one pressing charges makes you look guilty of something.
4:41 pm
uusue2
me too, molly! that and the hundreds of text messages she sent while he had a restraining order against him and couldn't respond - our lawyer has copies of all those messages now
4:41 pm
MollyL
"Victims" don't plead the 5th.
4:43 pm
uusue2
anyway it is not clear to me exactly what the consequences are of her not appearing at a deposition requested by the defense lawyer in a criminal case, but they are not good.
4:43 pm
carleekat
( that does not happen here..police interview...and crown and defence gets copy of the interview
4:43 pm
uusue2
and her choices are 1) lie or 2) implicate herself. If I were her (which I would never be), I would probably choose 3) don't say anything.
4:44 pm
carleekat
the victim may be interviewed by crown...
4:45 pm
uusue2
right now as far as the law is concerned, she is the victim and he is the perpetrator; he swore out a complaint against her later but as far as I know nothing has happened with that yet
4:46 pm
uusue2
(there are at least two murder cases, one over 50 years old, and one attempted murder in the court system in our little county right now, so this is probably nowhere near the top of their priority list)
4:46 pm
MollyL
It will be interesting to see how this all plays out. I'm rooting for your boy, Sue.
4:46 pm
uusue2
anyway, we will find out tomorrow and I will be sure to let you all know what the story is :-)
4:52 pm
carleekat
so..molls what is for dinner there?
4:58 pm
MollyL
Made a steak and cheese sub for the boy. I'm not hungry tonight.
5:03 pm
carleekat
same.... too much on my mind... i shucked a 4 quart basket of peas....
5:04 pm
MollyL
Where did you get that many fresh peas?
5:05 pm
carleekat
local farm...i am going to have to par boil them now..and freeze
5:05 pm
carleekat
( peas are just in season here now alogn with the beets )
5:07 pm
uusue2
ooh, fresh peas are WONDERFUL!!!!
5:09 pm
MollyL
Fresh peas are awesome. I just got some pictures from my friend in Pennsylvania who has a small farm on her property. Her fresh peas look so wonderful.
5:10 pm
jmcnrick

5:11 pm
carleekat

8:19 pm

Sadly, I'm not impressed with Verizon -- I have been to 5 different "stores" and spoken to a total of 9 people including customer service via a friend's phone...someone just shoot me!
8:19 pm

i am loving Weight Watchers if for no other reason than because i just HAD to have a bowl of ice cream with chocolate sauce before heading to bed tonight just so i could use up all of my daily points. :)
8:41 pm
MollyL
I've had that Diane. It's awesome.
8:43 pm
MollyL
I can see the new ad now: Weight Watchers - You HAVE to eat ice cream!
8:44 pm
EvaNadine
molly, i had honey-nut cheerios for breakfast, leftover chicken w/BBQ sauce and healthy slaw for lunch, cherries for a snack, PF Changs for dinner, and now ice cream! not a bad day at all. :)
8:45 pm
EvaNadine
and at my weigh-in today, i have lost 4.8 pounds since starting -- pretty good, considering i didnt really track until the end of the first week, then the second week i was on vacation...
8:47 pm
MollyL
Sounds like it's working splendidly for you Eva. Hey, breaking local news, some guy tried to abduct a 2-year-old at the Best Buy in Germantown. There was a "citizens arrest" until the cops got there.
8:47 pm
cybernan
hello everyone :)
8:48 pm
EvaNadine
molly, i really am surprised by how much i am liking this plan. of course, its all still new and exciting, but i like that i really DONT feel deprived at all.
8:48 pm
MollyL
I think not feeling deprived is essential in a good weight loss program.
8:49 pm
dianedecoder
I'm very familiar with the program Eva... I'm a lifetime member from 1974. I just belong online now, and haven't really looked at the newest program.... I guess it's time... for "several" reasons LOL
8:49 pm
jmcnrick
good for the citizens in Germantown!
8:49 pm
dianedecoder
It is a good cake, isn't it Molly.... one serving might constitute 1/4 of my daily allowed points though !! LOL
8:49 pm
EvaNadine
diane, i joined under the new program, but i know several people who followed the old program. almost everyone likes the new one better (once getting used to it) if for no other reason than fruits + most veggies are free!
8:50 pm
MollyL
No kidding JMC. Nice to see that kind of effort by a bunch of relative strangers.
8:50 pm

My daughter likes the new one better... I've looked at it , just haven't gotten my head around it yet.

i only get 33 in a day! hehe
8:51 pm
dianedecoder
It's come a LONG way since 1972 - 73 !!
8:51 pm
EvaNadine
i can imagine that when youve had success on the old program + know it well, its tough to motivate yourself to learn the new ways
8:51 pm
dianedecoder
exactly.
8:52 pm

my problem with weight watchers is that all their recipes tasted like sawdust -- hope that has changed!
8:52 pm
dianedecoder
My code name on WW online is "easemyknees"... but I just belong to the Canadian team
8:53 pm
EvaNadine
cyber, i havent actually tried many of their recipes. i have found some good blogs that happen to post the WW points (both new and old program) and i have also converted some of my own recipes using the calculator. but i did buy the newest cookbook, so we shall see!
8:53 pm
dianedecoder
oh no nan.... they can taste just a good, if not better than normal... because they've taught me to use more herbs and spices etc.
8:54 pm
cybernan
none of them used butter for baking -- just crisco and vegetable oil in very limited quantities -- might as well eat plastic!
8:54 pm

8:55 pm
EvaNadine
i was RAVING about the tuna burger recipe i came across. not a WW recipe, but the gal always includes the WW points for her recipes. one patty was a mere 5 points, and i think it was about a thousands points worth of flavor. :)
8:56 pm
dianedecoder
I agree.... some things, especially desserts cannot be duplicated nor revised successfully... but it makes me look for alternate desserts when I'm following diligently.... and I SPLURGE now and then !
8:57 pm
EvaNadine
diane, i just tried the skinny cow Cookies + Crem Truffle ice cream bar. just 3 points, and seriously, there is NOTHING diet about the taste. SO GOOD!
8:57 pm

9:10 pm
MollyL
Well that's good JMC. And yes, he does look very nice in his new threads.
9:10 pm
MollyL
I don't think co7 builds off of anything.
9:10 pm
jmcnrick
it is possible that his lawyer will be able to talk to the prosecutor after this hearing and get him/her to see reason
9:11 pm
jmcnrick
i hope so anyway
9:11 pm
MollyL
That would be great, I would love for Sue to get some good news tomorrow.

9:45 pm
jmcnrick
adam was a good guess though
9:45 pm
Jacula
I'm just wondering if they were frozen with water, lime juice or what, dcs?
9:46 pm

I'd freeze them with orange juice, I think.

you can't freeze vodka stid..

The general rule of thumb seems to be, and I say this with no expertise or knowledge whatsoever, that spirits made in cold countries won't freeze but spirits made in hot countries will at leat half freeze.

10:04 pm
Jacula
jmc - I don't know if you have ever visited Iceland but when you see the size of the cod heads on the drying racks up in the mountains there, you will realise how big cod can be. Also how stinky drying fish carcasses can be, which is why they re set up to dry on mountain roads. LOL
10:05 pm
jmcnrick
what ellen degeneres said about not eating fish because she played one in finding nemo

10:09 pm
Jacula
Molly - well, you'll just have to take my word for it then. You should visit Iceland if you can.Go up into the mountains and feel the earth trembling beneath your feet just waiting to erupt with volcanic activity. And the mountain streams are boiling mud and smell of sulphur (bad egg smell).
10:10 pm

Oh Jac, I was just joking with some song lyrics.

mrpresident

10:12 pm
Jacula

10:12 pm
Jacula
MrP - was the absolutelu effing post about moving or about that celebrity?
10:13 pm
mrpresident
it is going to cost him, and his 'so called friends' a great deal of money
10:13 pm
jmcnrick
i hope he moves soon mr p
10:13 pm
mrpresident
same jmc... I feel sick when I see him, and I have to drive past his house everyday
10:13 pm
Jacula
Sorry for stuttering. I pressed send twice.
10:13 pm
uusue2
I hope so too, mrp!!! serve him right to have to leave!!
10:14 pm
jmcnrick
my stalker guy is banned from the conference that i go to now. . . so soon you will be free too!
10:14 pm
Jacula
MrP - I read your bio 2 days ago. Has it changed since then?
10:14 pm
mrpresident
i told the police from the beginning, if he doesn't get out of his business, he will set it on fire and blame me! for the insurance money... they told him that and he now has to get out cause he can't burn out!
10:14 pm
mrpresident
oh good jmc!! that is so good!
10:15 pm
jmcnrick
it was a nice end to a stressful week with him standing a few feet from me all day
10:15 pm
mrpresident
he was setting up for a 'fire sale' but attempted murder was what he got
10:15 pm
mrpresident
a little has changed jac.... mostly the mole's role in all this
10:15 pm
jmcnrick
attempted murder!?!?!
10:15 pm
mrpresident
i will have more info from police on Monday
10:16 pm
mrpresident
yes, he can be charged up to a maximum of attempted murder, and down to a minimum of attempt to damage property using arson
10:16 pm
jmcnrick
good for the police!
10:17 pm
kje
must run, good to see you all - later
10:17 pm
mrpresident
I say attempt, it is actually 'arson to property'
10:17 pm
jmcnrick
bye kje!
10:17 pm
mrpresident
see ya kje! **hugs**
10:17 pm
mrpresident
I may have left out some details about my hissy fit at the police station
10:18 pm
mrpresident
I was yelling and crying at the constable... 'serve and protect??? you have no interest in helping me'... as I pulled all the paperwork away from her... she then took me under her wing
10:18 pm
jmcnrick
yes when i tell the story about someone harrassing at a talk i always sound reasonable and don't yell at all like i actually do
10:18 pm
Jacula
My horrible neighbours moved away some months ago. However, we came back from holiday to see that the new neighbours had screwed a piece of trellis to the little wall between our properties at the front. Thing is, the wall was built by me to stop the paperboy whizzing his bike twixt properties and damaging my plants. Thing is, we built the wall 6" to the right of the shared drain. That's the drain you have to get to within moments when a thunderstorm comes and get the cover off it to prevent or at least slow down any threat of flooding.
10:19 pm
mrpresident
and they are looking into it again
10:19 pm
mrpresident
so it is on your property jac??
10:19 pm
jmcnrick
perhaps they didn't realize it was on your property
10:20 pm
mrpresident
you just take it down and put it 6" on their property... with a nice bottle of wine and a note reminding them where the drain is
10:21 pm
jmcnrick
*sigh* i am not finishing this grid either
10:21 pm
mrpresident
they can put in some stakes and trellis elsewhere
10:21 pm
Jacula
MrP and jmc - yes, it is on my property and I wouldn't mind really, since they don't realise they also have 6" of my property out the back for about 180 feet also.
10:21 pm
jmcnrick
re5/12?
10:22 pm
Jacula
jmc - oppositve page to verso.
10:23 pm
mrpresident
be careful of that jac... I thought the laws on land ownership where very strick in the UK??
10:23 pm
mrpresident
strict even
10:24 pm
Jacula
I've been looking for the opportunity to say something in a nice way about why they can't have the trellis there. But they run in and out of the house like no family I've ever seen before, considering they only have one child.
10:25 pm
mrpresident
soooo, can I do this in 90 minutes with interuptions and possible death threats??
10:25 pm
jmcnrick
then the note and bottle of wine sounds like a good plan
10:25 pm
jmcnrick
can't promise no death threats mr p
10:26 pm
mrpresident
well, that is a normal day then jmc!
10:26 pm
Jacula
MrP - they are strict and, should I choose to claim back all my land, my garden would be marginally cigger. I'm not concerned with doing that, though. I just don't want my way hindered when I need to take the drain cover off very fast.
10:26 pm
jmcnrick
first re4.5 please
10:27 pm
mrpresident
well, take it down and lay it on their property... should they not take the hint, the wine should at least smooth them over so you can explain it all
10:28 pm
uusue2
scramble the 2nd re4/5, jmc
10:28 pm
jmcnrick
okay i give up i typed that at least 6 times and now it works
10:29 pm
mrpresident
do they still use 'the pink line' on the drain pipes to divide the properties by sight??
10:29 pm
Jacula
MrP - I think beer is the answer with the new neighbours, rather than wine, We'll see.
10:30 pm
Jacula
Mrp - if the pink line is there I can't see it. Or did you mean on a map?
10:31 pm
jmcnrick
i stood enough cause i cant stands no more
10:31 pm
jmcnrick
good night all!
10:31 pm
Jacula
All I know is that over more than 30 years in the same property I've had to fence it all around as neighbours got old and didn't want to fence or neighbours couldn't be bothered and we fenced next to the rusty old chain link fence etc.
10:32 pm
mrpresident
well, that is just rubbish that I can't put an er on the end of we4/8 (1st one)
10:32 pm
mrpresident
night jmc!
10:34 pm
Jacula
'Night jmc..
10:34 pm
uusue2
night, jmc!
10:35 pm
mrpresident
here, neighbours HAVE to pay for half the fence... is the law
10:35 pm
uusue2
the e's aren't in the right place, mrp
10:35 pm
mrpresident
they join up for me usue!
10:36 pm
mrpresident
a baby calf going to yard is a we6
10:36 pm
mrpresident
well, that's what we call them anyway
10:38 pm
Jacula
Well MrP - so do we , but we use an a rather than an e in 3rd letter place. You must remember that this game is essentially American, despite all the French words it allows.
10:38 pm
mrpresident
ah, true
10:38 pm
Jacula
Oh, and we tend to use that we word forpigs rather than calves. LOL
10:39 pm
Jacula
And who'd ever believe that we all speak English?LOL
10:40 pm
Jacula
MrP - don't worry about my neighbours thing. I'm sure it won't ever come to anything like yours has. I hope!
10:41 pm
mrpresident
i rarely even think in english! LOL
10:41 pm
uusue2
ok, I was looking at the wrong word, sorry! and I did try the one you were talking about, mrp, as well as neener which isn't accepted either :-)
10:41 pm
uusue2
neener neener neener, so there!
10:41 pm
Jacula
What language do you think in then?
10:42 pm
Jacula
uuseu - your sound like a police siren with a failing battery. Lol
10:42 pm
mrpresident
sometimes in Slovenian... but mostly in crazy!
10:43 pm
Jacula
I get the crazy but Slovenian? Where does that come from?
10:44 pm
mrpresident
i studied in Ljubljana for 2 years at the university of language and philosophy
10:45 pm
mrpresident
oh my!! I just got the ugliest text message... !! wow... excuse me ladies, but I have an execution (of words) to carry out.... brb
10:45 pm
Jacula
i ALWAYS think in English but sometimes wander off into Welsh, or Latin, or Scots, or Celt. I can do a bit of Greek, a bit of Spanish, a bit of Portuegese, even a bit of Dutch, Icelandic and Finnish. I can also do Aussie Strine and a bit of Afrikaans.
10:46 pm
Jacula
Oh, okay MrP.
10:47 pm
Jacula
Sometimes I wake up thinking and speaking Babble. Does that make me strange?
10:49 pm
uusue2
that's a European siren, Jac, they are different over here
10:49 pm
Jacula
I think studying the roots of English gives you an insight into many languages.
10:50 pm
Jacula
uusue -??
10:52 pm
uusue2
the neener neener neener
10:53 pm
uusue2
ours are more like dog howls
10:53 pm
uusue2
anyway I am trying to do too many things at once when what i really should be doing is going to bed
10:54 pm
Jacula
Oh, right. I've always heard yours as 'whoop, whoop, whoop'.
10:54 pm
uusue2
(I was responding to your comment at 10:42, Jac, sorry for the confusion!!!!)
10:55 pm
Jacula
I suppose the conglomeration of whoops could sound like a team of huskies eager to start a sled run.
10:56 pm
mrpresident
ok, back
10:56 pm
uusue2
well, they whoop if they hit the siren briefly but the continuous one is a rising and falling sound quite like a dog howl (and dogs will often join in)
10:56 pm
Jacula
But, anyway, sue, we all hear things differently.
10:56 pm
dcseain
bak. hi, mrp, ussue, jac
10:57 pm
dcseain
in DC and Arlington, VA some of the sirens are like the ones in Europe. The European tone is easier to echolocate in urban areas
10:58 pm
Jacula
I found my mouth organ (harmonica) yesterday whilst clearing out the kitchen dresser drawers. I must play my song that gets every dog around to join in and sing when I hit a certain note. It might be fun.
10:59 pm
dcseain
I saw Bela Fleck and the Original Flecktones the other evening. Their harmonica player was amazing, not that they're all not crack musicians, but the harmonica wow
10:59 pm
uusue2
anyway I am off to bed, long stressful day tomorrow. see you all later!!
10:59 pm
Jacula
I play the notes 3 times before the dog(s) start to howl in tune, I discovered this when I was 5 or 6 years old.
10:59 pm
dcseain
sleep well, uusue
11:00 pm
mrpresident
bye usue!! niters
11:00 pm
mrpresident
hi dcs! :)
11:00 pm
Jacula
'Night uusue.
11:00 pm
dcseain
wow, i'm oddly chatty tonight.
11:01 pm
Jacula
Hi dcs. You are? Why is that do you think?
11:01 pm
dcseain
Tom's been away for most of a week, and i've not gotten much social interaction. I think it's that intersection.
11:02 pm
mrpresident
luv a good harmonica!
11:02 pm
Jacula
Ha! dcs. That'd be it.
11:03 pm
Jacula
MrP - you wouldn't lov my harmonica then, but your dog would.
11:03 pm
mrpresident
LOL jac!!! :))
11:03 pm
dcseain
my cat is afraid of harmonicas -- she runs and hides when she hears one
11:04 pm
Jacula
I'll try to get a you tube done on the harmonica tune later, if I can remember by youtube user name etc.
11:04 pm
mrpresident
i swear that vacuum cleaners have a harmonica in them!
11:05 pm
Jacula
dcs - my cat is afraid of the vacuum cleaner. The comb, too. He knows he needs grooming but will never be willing to submit to it.
11:06 pm
Jacula
MrP- you must have an upright vacuum cleaner if you think that because they do have harmonic tunes between the piggy snorts and grunts.
11:07 pm
mrpresident
hehehehe !!
11:07 pm
dcseain
I have a fabulous tool called a Furminator that i use on my cat(s). They love it! My mom and sister both use Furminators on their cats, too.
11:07 pm
mrpresident
wow, i just got someone fired!
11:07 pm
Jacula
:-))), MrP.
11:08 pm
dcseain
go, go mrp!
11:08 pm
Jacula
Oh! Who and why?
11:09 pm

dcseain

11:10 pm
mrpresident
hi ishult! :)
11:11 pm
lshult
just got a few spare moments , can anyone clue the biggies?
11:11 pm
mrpresident
no committee needs a backstabbing, manipulative horses arse on it... isn't conducive to a smooth running of the women's soccer
11:12 pm
Jacula
I'm going to have to wander off to turf The Snoring Monster off my side of the bed soon. Then I'll turn my pillow over 'cos he's made it all warm and drooly adnd then I'll probably gently kick the bits of him that are on my side of the bed over to his side of the bed.
11:12 pm
dcseain
Sing it, mrp!
11:12 pm
lshult
just got the 8.....
11:13 pm
lshult

11:13 pm
lshult

11:13 pm
dcseain
i have one 7 and nothing larger, ishult, sorry
11:13 pm
Jacula
Well done, Ish. I can't even remember what the 8 was now.:-(
11:14 pm
Jacula
co9/66 - the males who stand in the 0 degree angle, Ishult.
11:15 pm
mrpresident
co8 and co9
11:15 pm
lshult
co8= when backed into a co6/21, you have been co8/50
11:15 pm
mrpresident
comes off the co6/21
11:15 pm
mrpresident
co9 is same word, but compound... lots of guys
11:15 pm
Jacula
That was supposed to read 90 degree angle, btw.
11:16 pm
lshult
got the 9 ty
11:18 pm
mrpresident
yw :)
11:18 pm
mrpresident
am off for a while... so so tired!
11:18 pm
Jacula
I'm off to gently kick The Snoring Monster now, or to kick him less gently if he's grinding and squeaking his teeth together when I get into bed. AARGH!
11:19 pm
dcseain
be well, jac and mrp
