Jivingjenny0

uusue2

ah. Finisher, then.

7:39 am

uusue2

maybe.

7:40 am

uusue2

oh,no, it's the sea birds again, there are three variants - single, plural, and plural of the 3-letter version, which I am pretty sure is the one that comes from that bottom e.

7:40 am

Jivingjenny0

that doesn't come from the bottom either. I read in the chog the other day that the words always start from the topmost letter first, so if you have a word like the seabird that can go either way it starts from the top. This does sometimes help, but not always lol

7:41 am

Jivingjenny0

yep, that's right - thanks a lot.

7:41 am

Mom

it is the plural of the 3 letter version

7:41 am

Mom

thanks Sue and good morning to everyone

7:41 am

10:35 am

rururocks

brb

10:47 am

sammysmom

10:49 am

Nef

unfortunately, my arthritis wouldn't let me do that much chopping. That's why I asked about the food processor. Does this freeze well?

10:50 am

sammysmom

10:51 am

Nef

i throw in some barley sometimes a cup - maybe less, depends on what's left in the cupboard

10:58 am

sammysmom

throw in 3 or 4 cans of bean sprouts

11:00 am

sammysmom

nobody like bamboo shoots , so i don t use the4m any more, but sometimes i add a couple of cans of water chestnuts.. enough kikiman soy sauce till the color is right- and some black pepper- water to the top of the pot- let it simmer till the water reducdes and it gets like a thick soup

11:00 am

rururocks

bean sprouts come in cans?

11:00 am

Nef

(this is sounding like something I can make so far --no precise amounts or measures!) ;-)

11:01 am

sammysmom

yup- i am too cheap to buy the fresh ones-lol

11:01 am

Nef

grow them, sammys!

11:02 am

sammysmom

no exact measurements-- whatever is on hand and whatever you like--- today i had some cauliflower left from a veggie tray-0 taht went in too

11:02 am

sammysmom

eery time it is a little differnt- i serve in on rice or with chinese noodles in soup bowls-

11:03 am

sammysmom

it would take a lot of room to grow 6 or 8 cups of bean sprouts

11:05 am

sammysmom

sometimes i throw in a handful of flaxseed- whole or milled sometimes not

11:06 am

sammysmom

you notice i did not say salt- nobldy needs it- there is enough in the soy sauce

11:09 am

Nef

I noticed that, sammys. I'm going to try this ansd use tamari sauce too. It's sort of like a low salt soy sauce

11:10 am

sammysmom

sounds good

11:10 am

Nef

DH's aunt is on a restricted salt diet now, less than 1500 mg per day. It's amazing how much salt is in everything these days!

11:11 am

sammysmom

once i even put in the rind of a lemon (removed it before anyone could see it) it gave it a little different flavor and i never told them why- i suppose lemon grass would do the same tho

11:12 am

Nef

She loves chow mein, and had some Chinese food when she went out to the mall with a friend. Her heart failure just couldn't handls the salt

11:12 am

sammysmom

yes- we are using a lot less salt

11:12 am

rururocks

anyone have the de 6/21 # 2 please

11:13 am

sammysmom

that is the good thing about making your own- you can substitute things for whatever reason

11:13 am

Nef

the new recommendation for salt is 1500 mg per day. You'd be amazed at how much salt is in stuff you buy these days!

11:13 am

Angelsong's page has some misinformation on it. Like T4s OF WORDS NOT ALLOWED: Abbreviations. Lots of abbreviations are in these grids. Like de4 today.

12:23 pm

ne ee

12:24 pm

Nef

really? abbreviations aren't supposed to be allowed; but maybe they are if they become part of the vocabulary

12:24 pm

jmcnrick

well i think that angelsongs page is a tad dated but generally helpful

12:25 pm

jmcnrick

i think nef is right--some abbreviations have become words like retro

12:29 pm

Bye for now; I have to take DH's Aunt for a doctor appt. so don't know how long it will take. BBL! Happy Babbling Everybody!

well, the butane is and the little screen gets very warm. It won't burn you, but you wouldn't want to hold it for very long.

doesn't it burn your skin where you hang it?

1:50 pm

jmcnrick

1:50 pm

for the most part, we were wearing clothes, so no, it wasn't touching skin, just jeans

1:51 pm

oh well i wear jeans all year round so that sounds okay i will have to check it out

1:51 pm

java2

and, if you're not walking, you can just set it on the picnic table

1:51 pm

jmcnrick

(doesn't want to think about the rest of the part where they weren't wearing clothes)

1:52 pm

thought that would get you

1:52 pm

besides, if you're not wearing clothes, how would you hang it on yourself? That's what I don't want to think about!

uusue2

erm - and WHY were you thinking of a chastity belt, exactly??

1:57 pm

uusue2

I was thinking that it would be an interesting engineering problem, to ensure that things that needed to get out could do so, while not allowing things to come in that weren't supposed to get in, all without being painful, but then it occurred to me that the people designing these things probably didn't care if they were painful or not

2:04 pm

jmcnrick

bye peri

2:04 pm

uusue2

oh, that is good news, jmc!

2:04 pm

i am sure they didn't care whether they were painful

2:06 pm

uusue2

it would still be an interesting engineering problem but I don't think I will assign it to my class

2:08 pm

java2

there are now other materials that would probably work well. then, they hadn't been developed. there are materials now that allow water vapor out, but not in. i'd think they could be adapted

2:09 pm

jmcnrick

but blood is not the same as water vapor

2:10 pm

jmcnrick

<=== is beginning to regret bringing this topic up

2:10 pm

java2

yeah, that's why you'd have to work with it a bit - larger pores, or something

2:10 pm

you're right - "blood is thicker than water"

i guess big holes and a water sprayer will work ;-)

it does suck to be this hot and humid. I feel caged up. I had to take the AUnty to a docotrs' appointment and the car A/C didn't help til we were about 3 blocks from our destination (10 miles from here)

5:48 pm

Nef

Oh, goody! Finally half way!

5:48 pm

uusue2

one thing I like about my car is that the air conditioner kicks in really fast, usually before I reach the end of the block

5:51 pm

jmcnrick

5:52 pm

uusue2

5:52 pm

suefrad625

Well, now Borders Book Store is bankrupt and closing. I am very sad to see book stores dying. I guess everyone is busy with electronic devices and has no more use for paper books. *Sniff*

6:10 pm

speedfreak

let's hope town libraries never close

6:12 pm

MollyL

Oh, but don't you think that's next? How can it not be when people are busy reading electronically? There is no love left for books, it seems.

6:13 pm

stidgmere

I feel the same way MollyL. There is nothing quite as satisfying as the smell of books.

6:14 pm

speedfreak

I love reading a brand new book and the feel of the pages

6:14 pm

MollyL

I agree Gran Mere. I have started collecting books because I fear they will be a thing of the past, sooner than later.

6:15 pm

stidgmere

Yes, speedy the paper is an additional sensation to enjoy.

6:18 pm

speedfreak

thank goodness at school we have ssr (sustained silent reading) for 20 minutes every day and after recess for 15 minutes I read a book out loud and there is still so many kids who love it since noone reads at home anymore that used to be my favorite time putting the boys to bed is I would lay down with them and read for 20 min every night

6:19 pm

MollyL

Ah yes Speed. Reading to my kids is one of my happiest memories. How sad that no one reads at home anymore.

6:23 pm

speedfreak

at summer school last year one of the families was going on vacation and were going to be in the car for over 4 hr. drive they were borrowing every electronic game they could so I suggested read to your family as your husband drives even the mother thought I was out of my mind so how can we teach the kids the joy of reading

6:23 pm

cosdem

the 2nd to last me5/12?

6:25 pm

speedfreak

do not have it yet cos sorry

6:29 pm

cosdem

found it.

6:41 pm

MollyL

It's sad that electronic games have take the place of imagination. And the best way to cultivate a good imagination is to read. And to write, if you are so inclined. I wonder about a society of people who are entrenched in "Farmville", "Angry Birds" and other such games that seem to be taking away the imaginative spark that once existed in us.

6:43 pm

uusue2

our city gave borders a big tax break to build their store here - put a local independent bookstore out of business - now the borders is gone as well
