VolleymomDee

I am still calling stuff... hi dart

12:18 am

VolleymomDee

never used to be an issue ... how I like to play...

12:18 am

dizgrannie

I like it when peeps call, cos I don't like going into Licketty's till the last minute

12:18 am

dart001

so am i...same as calling a volcano or goose...or someone basically spelling out a word to someone

12:19 am

VolleymomDee

agreed

12:19 am

joshuavorbis

so if the plural of ce6 is ce5, why isn't the plural of ca7, ca6

12:19 am

dart001

someone says be+cross letter plus a certain vowel etc...might as well spell the word

12:19 am

VolleymomDee

agreed diz and dart... like to see how far I can get with chat help before I touch lickety... was how it was played when I first started here...

12:20 am

VolleymomDee

VolleymomDee

*heavy sigh*

12:46 am

VolleymomDee

hate when that happens

12:47 am

stidmama

yep. well he has been going really hard since before school let out. He is just exhausted. As much as he loves the acting, perhaps three plays this summer was a bit much for him. oh well, it's the last summer for this program.

12:54 am

VolleymomDee

I think resand should be a word

12:54 am

stidmama

I was surprised to see so many of the native blackberries -- I know there are more in some of the less well-traveled parts of the yard, too, but... they are less-traveled for a reason!

12:55 am

stidmama

I agree dee -- as in what painters of fine furniture (and boats) do

12:55 am

vashongin

i don't have blackberries yet

12:55 am

1:59 am

flosey

I'm not clever enough to do it alone

m9f9l

1:59 am

flosey

flosey

2:03 am

flosey

I changed my icon - had 2 I wanted to use

2:04 am

m9f9l

probably!

2:05 am

flosey

this has always been one of my favourite pictures of hubby - he wheelbarrowed practically that whole pile of soil

2:05 am

flosey

over to the garden

2:06 am

m9f9l

wow! that's a big pile!

2:06 am

m9f9l

is it spouses today??

2:06 am

m9f9l

oh.. gardening

2:07 am

flosey

yes, gardening day - and that was so important to hubby that I had to include him

2:08 am

flosey

he is getting tired though - goes out and works for a bit, then comes in for tea and often a quich nap

2:08 am

m9f9l

awww. sweet

2:09 am

flosey

it was always his dream

2:10 am

m9f9l

gardening?

2:11 am

flosey

yes, growing our own - plus he sold some to the Co-Op - it's in my bio

2:12 am

m9f9l

mmmm I love gravenstein's too

2:13 am

flosey

I hadn't known of them until I came to SSI

2:14 am

m9f9l

I grew up in Washington. and my dad grew up in eastern washington on a farm.

2:14 am

flosey

ah, so you grew up with Gravensteins, lucky you

2:15 am

m9f9l

yes. had them in my lunch often.LOL

2:16 am

m9f9l

I really like granny smiths too

2:16 am

flosey

we used them back in Toronto

2:18 am

m9f9l

ah. and braeburns and gala

2:19 am

flosey

we did get gala in TO but didn't know braeburns

2:19 am

m9f9l

I love apples. but not the delicious varieties.

2:19 am

flosey

must get to bed, very tired now, goodnight m9 - luck finishing

2:19 am

m9f9l

golden every once in a while.

2:19 am

m9f9l

thanks

2:20 am

m9f9l

21 to go

2:21 am

flosey

I thought the delicious was the greatest as a kid - they were always in our Christmas stocking, but don't care for them so much now, perhaps the golden has more flavour? don't grow them here

2:22 am

m9f9l

yeah, the golden can be ok.. but not usually

2:23 am

flosey

crisp and juice, but lacking in flavour

2:23 am

flosey

must go, loved the chat

2:23 am

m9f9l

and it's nasty when you get a mealy one

2:23 am

m9f9l

ok. nite!

2:23 am

flosey

oh yuk

6:26 am

carleekat

bad news abuot my dad...

6:26 am

MollyL

Oh damn, I'm sorry. Are they saying it's not long now?

6:26 am

carleekat

his liver has failed... no longer able to eat...we are going down on monday i am hoping monday is not too late

6:27 am

carleekat

i get things 3rd hand...i dont know

6:28 am

MollyL

(((Carlee)))) I hope that you get to say your goodbyes. This stuff is very, very hard. Again, I'm so sorry.

6:28 am

carleekat

its ok.i already made my good byes...

6:28 am

carleekat

but thank you

6:30 am

carleekat

he had really good quality of life this last year...and has gone downhill very quickly..he is not in pain...he sleeps... its really all you can ask for at the end

6:31 am

carleekat

i have to let out a dog

6:31 am

Uneaixoise

so sorry about your dad, carlee -- love to you and your family

6:33 am

MollyL

I lit a candle for you and your family Carlee. If you need an understanding ear, I'm always glad to listen.

6:34 am

MollyL

Morning Une.

6:34 am

carleekat

thank you molls and thanks une

6:36 am

carleekat

i am..ok....my daughter i think is going to have the roughest time...this is the first "death" that she has known my son had his best friends uncle...but uncle doug..was "uncle doug" as far as he was concerned was his uncle and taylor is very pragmatic... "it is part of life" yes he will hurt...but his way of coping is very matter of fact

6:37 am

Uneaixoise

hey, molly :-)

6:37 am

carleekat

i made my good byes..and have made my peace...but the hardest part will be never having my dad give me another hug...

6:38 am

carleekat

and that is the part that really hurts...

6:38 am

MollyL

I understand Carlee. I still miss hugs from my Dad.

6:39 am

MollyL

They are unique, and special, those Dad hugs.

6:40 am

carleekat

there is just something about a hug from dad.. that makes u feel as if the world cant touch you... i ...those will soon be gone

6:40 am

MollyL

Well in my way of thinking, they still exist, they are just different. I still feel my Dad around me all the time.

6:42 am

carleekat

we shall see

6:43 am

car.eeyore

{{carlee}} sending you all prayers and love....

6:43 am

carleekat

thanks car.ee

6:44 am

car.eeyore

((Molly)) Good morning to you as well!

6:44 am

car.eeyore

carlee...is there anything I can do for you?

6:45 am

carleekat

just say a prayer it is easy for him...and that i have strength to engure what is ahead

6:45 am

carleekat

endure* i mean

6:45 am

carleekat

just..being here helps :)

6:45 am

car.eeyore

Absolutely.

6:46 am

MollyL

I kept a sweater of my Dad's, and wearing it is a lot like getting a hug from him. Prayers out for an easy transition for Dad, and strength for you , Carlee.

6:46 am

car.eeyore

Wow, Molly! That is a great idea!

6:47 am

carleekat

my dad has a ring...my mum gave to him..i really cant remember any part of my life that i have not seen it on his finger....even after he remarried..is his birthstone...i am going to ask on monday if i can have that...

6:47 am

MollyL

That will be a special memento Carlee. Good idea.

6:47 am

carleekat

dad doesnt wear sweaters...he was a shirt...and suit jacket kind of guy sometimes a sweat shirt but not often..

6:48 am

car.eeyore

When my "stepfather" passed away, I sang at his funeral. We wore leis in honor of their love of Hawaii and sang the Hawaiian Wedding Song. At the end of the service, I gave my lei to his sister...she took it and put it on and said, "It feels like my brother is hugging me!" I loved that.

6:48 am

carleekat

but it is a good idea molls

6:48 am

MollyL

I have my Mom's Claddagh ring. That means a lot to me.

6:49 am

MollyL

Car, that is a lovely memory.

6:49 am

carleekat

i'll never be able to wear this ring....but maybe someday i will have enough $ to have made into a pendant...is a huge cobachon ruby...

6:49 am

carleekat

it is lovely..i love how people make things..individual....

6:50 am

MollyL

You couldn't get the ring re-sized?

6:50 am

carleekat

its a man's ring....the cobachon is almost an inch long

6:51 am

carleekat

it would cover the entire joint of my finger

6:51 am

MollyL

Oh, I see. Well, having it made into a pendant would be very nice.

6:51 am

carleekat

( back in the day rubies were cheap....mum gave to my dad before they were married..they were still in highschool at the time)

6:51 am

MollyL

I think that something someone wore all the time carries a bit of their spirit in it.

6:52 am

car.eeyore

That is so cool carlee!

6:52 am

car.eeyore

I agree Molly.

6:53 am

carleekat

yes..same... is why i would li ke to have it...but if he says no..so be it...

6:53 am

carleekat

or my step mother..my step mother...i love her..but she can be,,,, difficult

6:53 am

car.eeyore

Who would say no?

6:55 am

carleekat

she could

6:55 am

MollyL

Well, I hope that no one says no, and that the ring will be for you Carlee.

6:55 am

carleekat

throughout this process i have needed to essentially make appointments to see hiim.. i have not been able to just..drop in

6:55 am

carleekat

thanks molls

6:55 am

car.eeyore

I will pray the same.

6:56 am

carleekat

thanks car.ee

6:59 am

MollyL

I will also send out a request to The Great Spirit that everyone in your family is their best self as they go through this transition. That can make things a lot easier.

7:00 am

car.eeyore

good idea Molly. emotions run so high at times like these...grief can be so over powering.

7:02 am

carleekat

thank you..both of you...

7:03 am

carleekat

7:06 am

MollyL

Just remember to lean on the people who love you and care about you Carlee. That is what gets us through things like this.

7:07 am

carleekat

yea... i will... thanks

7:14 am

car.eeyore

Ugh...Mom left the cellar open...again. Dante got out....again.

7:17 am

MollyL

Oops. How hard is he to round up?

7:17 am

carleekat

oh no

7:17 am

car.eeyore

Same cat that got out about a month ago and ended up at the vet with the sliced up paw.

7:18 am

car.eeyore

He will come back, but I don't want him to be out. We live on a very busy street and we have woods all around with coyotes and fishers.

7:18 am

carleekat

oh boy....

7:18 am

carleekat

open up a tin of tuna and set outside the door

7:19 am

car.eeyore

I know she doesn't mean it. I have even put up signs at the doors that say "Please make sure door is shut tight", but about once a week...a door is left open.

7:20 am

car.eeyore

When we first moved here last year, my other cat, Reilly, got out. Never saw him again. The kids and I would be devastated if we lost Dante. He is their best friend and follows them every where.

7:20 am

carleekat

like i said..put out a dish of tuna...

7:21 am

MollyL

Car, your Mom is having memory issues, yeah?

7:26 am

car.eeyore

Got him.

7:26 am

car.eeyore

Yes, Molly.

7:26 am

car.eeyore

Date is now safely back inside.

7:26 am

carleekat

yay...got him :)

7:26 am

car.eeyore

Whew!

7:26 am

car.eeyore

*Dante

7:27 am

MollyL

Oh good, glad you found Dante. My Dad had Alzheimer's, I know of what you are going through.

7:28 am

car.eeyore

Luckily, there is only one way out of the maze of cellars beneath our house. It comes out under our porch. If I figure it out in time, he is usually there, which he was. A few cat treats and he is now back in. This time it was easy!

7:28 am

car.eeyore

THe most peculiar thing...he was there licking the paw that he had hurt when he got out before. Hmmmm....

Hi, all!

9:16 am

uusue2

<--- is about ready to throw the router out of the window. Also my son.

9:17 am

redturtlehead

Morning all! How is everyone today?

9:17 am

beckyj

I am good thanks, Red! How're you?

9:17 am

beckyj

How is everyone?

9:17 am

uusue2

Hi, red! I am grumpy. How are you?

9:17 am

redturtlehead

Very well!

9:17 am

beckyj

Good!

9:17 am

redturtlehead

uusue, sorry you are grumpy the router and your son, not so great.

9:18 am

uusue2

How is your recovery coming along, red?

9:19 am

redturtlehead

I'm doing well, back to work finally on Monday, a lot less pain. No running yet, but I wasn;t supposed to be yet.

9:19 am

uusue2

well, I need a new router because this one is creaking under the strain of 3 computers, an Xbox, and 3 smartphones

9:19 am

uusue2

that is great, red!

9:20 am

redturtlehead

Yup, I'm in a good mood.

9:20 am

uusue2

and my son has now lost two charging cables for his phone (which is the same as mine) so he borrows mine for the night but then forgets to plug his phone in. So by morning both phones are dead. This has happened two days in a row now.

9:20 am

MollyL

<--- Tech idiot. Did not know smart phones needed a router.

9:21 am

uusue2

Not the worst thing in the world but it is one more annoyance i didn't need.

9:21 am

redturtlehead

for that you can throw son out the window, just a first floor window.

9:22 am

redturtlehead

tier

9:22 am

redturtlehead

oops,

9:22 am

redturtlehead

you cna throw me out the PB window, but do it gently.

9:22 am

uusue2

Molly, if the smart phones connect to the internet through wifi (rather than through the phone signal) it doesn't use up the data plan, so when we are home they are all on the wireless router.

9:23 am

uusue2

np, red, I was too busy being annoyed to actually find any words, so that was helpful :)

9:23 am

redturtlehead

thanks, I am just now making Blueberrie muffins, am in a rather chuffed mood!

9:24 am

uusue2

ooh, sounds yummy, red!

9:26 am

MollyL

See, I'm one of those people who just uses a cell phone for phone calls. I forget that people connect to the internet with the smart phones. Like I said, tech idiot.

but ty, chog for the na7

12:39 pm

MollyL

I like tuties, it should be a word. : )

12:39 pm

uusue2

will be writing back to you soon but just got back from a frustrating visit to Comcast (where we get telephone, TV,and internet)

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

let's take a vote!

12:39 pm

uusue2

I vote for tuties!

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

does anybody know what happens if a dog eats a wasp?

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

my Ruby is trying desperately to catch them

12:40 pm

uusue2

oh dear, ruby, i don't and would just as soon not find out :-P

12:40 pm

uusue2

i can ask Frank when he comes back from doing laundry,though, he knows a lot about dogs

12:40 pm

rubyfoo

I've seen cats eat spiders with no ill effects but these wasps are na***

12:41 pm

Griffums

It sucks for the wasp. But whether it hurts the dog depends on whether it actually has a chance to sting. Dogs will react like we do - either it'll be a local swelling, or the dog may have an anaphylactic reaction.

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

well if she succeeds AND if she has an allergic reaction, I have an adrenalin shot in the fridge, so I won't worry about it

12:42 pm

uusue2

maybe she will learn not to chase them, then?

12:42 pm

Griffums

For a light reaction, benadryl will do.

12:42 pm

rubyfoo

maybe....

12:43 pm

rubyfoo

I could just put it in cream cheese like everything else

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

she may be the prettiest dog in the world and the sweetest and nicest (but not the smartest)

12:45 pm

uusue2

I can't believe there are 17 words from that S. I've struggled just to find 3 of them!!

12:45 pm

rubyfoo

but you're in there a couple of times!

12:45 pm

MizHoffle

they are mostly su's

12:46 pm

Anniebrook

and then there is a eye sore st5

12:46 pm

Anniebrook

*an eye sore

12:46 pm

uusue2

ah, there we go - i've found the ones that have my name in them, anyway *sigh*

12:47 pm

rubyfoo

5 of them, su*?

12:47 pm

Anniebrook

uu, there are 5 with your name

12:47 pm

uusue2

trouble is when I think of my name, I never think of it as a verb :-)

12:47 pm

Anniebrook

Im just passing thru

12:47 pm

Pickled beets are soaked in a vinegar/sugar brine. Some people add hard boiled eggs to them. Harvard beets are thickened with cornstarch or something. I agree . Yuck!

Hello Babblers. How are folks today?

Hey, wht.

Hi, wht and bea!

Are you melting, sue?

4:12 pm

some, bea, it is 86 here (so not horrible)

4:12 pm

some, bea, it is 86 here (so not horrible)

BzznBea

I'll take that!

4:13 pm

Hi sue

4:14 pm

uusue2

I am, however melting DOWN due to router malfunctions, stress, and other things...

4:14 pm

uusue2

hi, wht!

4:14 pm

uusue2

but I am keeping myself together, more or less

4:14 pm

wht

{Sending mellow thoughts Sue's way}

4:15 pm

wht

I returned yesterday from almost 2 weeks in Hawaii. A great cure for stress.

4:16 pm

uusue2

sounds wonderful, wht! I have been to hawaii several times (had an aunt who retired there) but not in many years

4:18 pm

wht

It was beautiful. We did a bunch of sightseeing at the beginning but the last 3 days were spent on the beach in Maui, swimming, snorkelling and lying in the sun.

4:18 pm

uusue2

ahhhhhh.....

4:18 pm

MollyL

*Hands Sue a chilled glass of wine*

4:19 pm

trentsnana

Sounds great, wht. Hubby and I are planning to go for our 30th in November of 2012.

4:19 pm

uusue2

ooh, nice, molly! just what i needed (being as I am not in Hawaii :-)

4:19 pm

trentsnana

Any suggestions on what to see and where to go?

4:19 pm

MollyL

Wht, glad to hear that you and Mrs. Wht had a lovely anniversary trip.

4:19 pm

wht

Got so mellow that even the flight back was no problem.

4:20 pm

uusue2

I would say see waikiki first because when you first get there it will be wonderful; after you've seen more of the islands it will look a little tacky

4:20 pm

wht

Molly, it was a wonderful trip. We both enjoyed it a lot.

4:21 pm

uusue2

personally I find that Kauai is beautiful and lush

4:21 pm

wht

She has always liked the beach. I have found that I enjoy it a lot as well, as long as the water is warm enough you can actually swim in it.

4:21 pm

trentsnana

I think we are going to Oahu and Kauai, but not positive.

4:21 pm

MollyL

Ooo TNana, what a nice thing to look forward to.

4:22 pm

uusue2

I also like the Kona side of the Big island (you can visit volcanoes) but perhaps that is the geek in me

4:22 pm

wht

We went to Oahu first, and had a day trip to the Big Island to tour the volcano, then ended with 6 nights on Maui.

4:22 pm

trentsnana

Not sure how much time to take. Is a week enough, or do you think we should go for 10 days?

4:22 pm

uusue2

really, anyplace in hawaii is very nice

4:23 pm

Soodle

Lying down on floor, howling and flailing arms and legs in a total tantrum. Would SO love to see Hawaii.... :-) .....

4:23 pm

uusue2

if you stay on one island a week is fine but if you want to visit several, 10 days would be better

4:23 pm

trentsnana

I am really looking forward to it, Molly. We've never really taken any "beachy" type vacations. Hubby isn't into it, but said he would go for me.

4:23 pm

wht

Our waitress at breakfast the last day said that she vacations on Lana'i because it is so much mellower.

4:23 pm

MollyL

TNana, with as long as it takes to get there, I would suggest taking as many days as you can.

4:23 pm

uusue2

well, soodle, I would love to visit Ireland!

4:24 pm

trentsnana

We went to Alaska for a cruise and land tour and he loved that. I did, too, but want a warm weather trip this time.

4:24 pm

uusue2

and I haven't been to Lanai or Molokai but I hear they are both nice

4:24 pm

MollyL

*Hands Soodle a blankey and a pacifier*

4:24 pm

wht

It is hard to imagine a place even mellower than Maui.

4:24 pm

trentsnana

That is true, Molly. We are in Montana - so not far from the west coast. Would probably fly to LA, spend the night, and then leave from there.

4:25 pm

Soodle

A pina colada would be better Molls.....

4:25 pm

wht

Molokai and Lana'i are both beautiful. We could see both of them from our hotel room. But we didn't get to either.

4:25 pm

MollyL

Everyone I know who has gone to Hawaii says doing the flight in two days is the best. Smart move.

4:25 pm

trentsnana

Wish we could take a month and see all of the islands, but the budget won't allow it - ha!!

4:25 pm

MollyL

*Puts blankey and pacifier away. Blends a strong pina colada and hands it to Soodle*

4:26 pm

Soodle

Sobbing decreases to occasional blub....

4:26 pm

We spent two nights in San Francisco on the way out which was nice. We had gone there on our honeymoon.

4:28 pm

We also got to visit one of my wife's cousin who lives on Novato which is just north of San Francisco.

4:28 pm

MollyL

It's nice to hear about the happily, long term married folks enjoying anniversaries.

4:28 pm

just had my usual midnight snack, lumpfish roe and quail egg yoke. How weird and disgusting is that?

4:30 pm

Soodle

Many many more anniversaries to you both Wht. SlÃ¡inte

That's funny Soodle. Reminds me of Michelle Pfeiffer in "One Fine Day" shaving her legs and brushing her teeth at the same time, getting ready for a date.

4:31 pm

4:32 pm

PLEASE. No food talk. (diet started Thursday & resolve is beginning to waver now..... )

4:33 pm

uusue2

ah, yes, diet - I remember that....

4:33 pm

Salad is so delicious. Don't you love salad? It's just the best darned food in the world.

4:33 pm

Soodle

I'll dri nk to that, Molly. To Romance, to happy marriages and to Wht & Mrs Wht! Cheers

4:33 pm

4:34 pm

BzznBea

4:34 pm

Soodle

Pass the lettuce, please...

4:34 pm

rubyfoo

I don't eat salad because the vinegar makes me perspire

4:34 pm

uusue2

absolutely,cheers to the wht's - may they have 30 more!

4:34 pm

MollyL

Now, for only $69.95 you, yes YOU, can get Ruby's Icky Food Diet! Guaranteed to make you lose weight, puke, or both.

MollyL

Hi Bich

4:37 pm

uusue2

or they can get me a better one but I would have to return this one first and it would take about 3 weeks(during which we'd be without the internet) - everybody vetoed that option :-)

4:37 pm

Soodle

Ooooh. I remember when I used to eat fattening food. (All of two days ago)

4:37 pm

Lucky Bichon, we are very very hot here. the pavement got so hot today the dog refused to walk on it.

4:38 pm

Soodle

Anchovies are the spawn of the devil!

4:38 pm

My Hip is doing GREAT.

4:39 pm

MollyL

Agreed about anchovies Soodle.

4:39 pm

uusue2

<--- used to like anchovies on pizza

4:39 pm

I think avocado is not bad for you as long as you don't have it as a side dish with tacos and tequila shots

4:39 pm

bichon

Although, we could use some rain. Pretty darn dusty

4:39 pm

MollyL

Hmm, maybe I should go on The Ruby diet. I wouldn't eat much, that's for sure.

4:39 pm

I am going out for a bit now. I hope to be back later to finish.

4:48 pm

rubyfoo

to try and put myself to sleep I'm re-reading a great book which I'll send to Soodle after -- A Gate at the Stairs by Lorrie Moore

4:48 pm

uusue2

hi, stid!!

4:48 pm

MollyL

And as my Irish grandfather would teach you all: How do you spell willow wood? Dubloo aye duble ell o, double dubloo, dublow dee. : )

4:49 pm

Soodle

Oh fantastic, Ruby. I am in dire need of a good book. Thank you :-)

4:49 pm

rubyfoo

will send as soon as I finish

4:49 pm

stidmama

:-D

4:49 pm

Soodle

ROFL Molls. Spot on!!

4:49 pm

stidmama

hey sue!

4:50 pm

rubyfoo

the best I could do was marry a Kelley the first time; it's the closest I could get :(

4:51 pm

bichon

The Irish have more fun

4:51 pm

MollyL

At Scrabs recommendation, I am reading "The Untethered Soul" by Michael A. Singer. It's an awesome read.

4:52 pm

stidmama

I am not reading for fun yet... soon though!

4:52 pm

MollyL

Tsk, tsk Stid, you know what they say about all work and no play. : P

4:53 pm

stidmama

and I am down to 23 now.

4:53 pm

Soodle

I'm reading One NIght in Twisted River, by John Irving. Not quite getting into yet, though. I absolutely adored The World According to Garp, Hotel New Hampshire and A Son of the Circus'.

4:53 pm

uusue2

oh, I looked at that, molly,and was thinking of trying to find it in the library - so it's as good as scrabs said, eh?

4:54 pm

uusue2

go, stid!

4:55 pm

stidmama

it's not that molly -- it's that my eyes can't take reading for very long yet! LOL I should be able to read again in a couple months

4:56 pm

MollyL

Hope your eyes are better soon Stid. Sue, it's a very good read on what makes us tick, and how to recognize the dysfunctional ones and turn them around.

4:57 pm

Jeff7

hey all: in case anyone is interested, http://www.georgeharrison.com/ is streaming the entire concert for bangledesh movie until tomorrow night.

4:57 pm

uusue2

sounds like I could use it, molly!

4:57 pm

Soodle

Sorry to bore everybody about my diet, but..... I cooked a lovely Chicken Tikka Massala for my family this evening. I ate a yoghurt. I think that I should have automatically lost the corresponding amount of weight by NOT eating dinner tonight. (Thinking of lying down on the ground and howling and flailing again...)

4:57 pm

stidmama

hey jeff!

4:58 pm

MollyL

Soodle, I am hit or miss with Irving. I loved "A Prayer For Owen Meany" though. My mother-in-law met John Irving on an airplane once. She is a big fan of his. Not quite big enough though, because when he introduced himself by saying "Hi, I'm John Irving" she said "No you aren't, you asshole!" Ahahaha!

4:58 pm

uusue2

fireworks! last word was ya4/8

4:58 pm

stidmama

YAY sue!

4:59 pm

stidmama

okay, I am taking a break. back later!!!! *poof*

4:59 pm

uusue2

bye, stid!

4:59 pm

uusue2

and hi, jeff!

5:00 pm

Soodle

Wow, Molly. I would just Soooo love to meet Irving. I want to find out what happened to the characters after the books finished! And Woot Woot Sue!

5:01 pm

MollyL

After she made a complete eejit of herself, my mother-in-law and Iriving had a nice chat. She said he is a really nice man.

5:01 pm

uusue2

soodle, i'm not sure that not eating dinner is a good long-term strategy - can you make something that would work for all of you, then add stuff for the others?

5:02 pm

MollyL

I was thinking the same thing Sue. Deprivation while everyone else eats kind of diets seldom work for me.

5:02 pm

Soodle

Oh, Sue. The Soodle-blubber will sustain me for quite a while, believe me! Think of whales etc...

5:02 pm

uusue2

so you could have chicken with a bit of sauce, plus some veg, and the others could sop up the rest of the sauce with bread or something...

5:03 pm

uusue2

...or they could just be like my son, decide they don't like any of it, and go to mcDonalds or taco bell all the time...

5:04 pm

Soodle

Fear not, Babble friends. Soodle will not shuffle off this mortal coil due to malnutrition.

5:04 pm

MollyL

Not the point Soodle. Your body doesn't work that way. If it thinks it's starving, it's not going to burn fat.

5:04 pm

uusue2

well, I could live off my fat for quite a while too, but trying to do that tends to lead me to pig out after a while (which for me is a much bigger risk than malnutrition)

5:05 pm

uusue2

so i try to keep it moderate, and find things to snack on that won't totally destroy me (rice crackers, yogurt, fruit)

5:06 pm

Soodle

The diet started on Thursday. If it lasts till Monday, I will eat my hat...........with fries on the side!

5:06 pm

uusue2

right now I have some nonfat unflavored frozen yogurt from Trader Joes that is to die for (imho) - it is frozen but not at all sweet, quite tart in fact, and very refreshing on hot days! and about 1/3 the calories of ice cream...

5:07 pm

uusue2

anyway, I am off to put my feet up and read trashy novels - see you all tomorrow!!

5:07 pm

Soodle

<------------Sadly lacking in will-power :-(

5:07 pm

MollyL

*Passes Soodle a rice cake*

5:08 pm

uusue2

me too, soodle!! which is how i got this way = well, that and various injuries that kept me from exercising for a long time

5:08 pm

Soodle

I'll see your rice cake, and raise you a burger!

5:09 pm

MollyL

Anthony Robbins says if we re-train our minds to think that broccoli is delicious and luscious and we can't wait to eat it, we will think of broccoli like we think of chocolate. I think Anthony Robbins is full of it. : P

5:10 pm

uusue2

I agree, molly! although I do find that if I stay away from fried things for a while, I lose my taste for them - soodle's fries don't really tempt me

5:11 pm

uusue2

(on the other hand, neither does broccoli, unless you put cheese sauce on it)

5:11 pm

Soodle

Broccoli/chocolate..... Chocolate/broccoli..... Hmmm. Now, which would I really like?

5:11 pm

MollyL

If I can manage to stay away from sugar for a week or two, I find my cravings for sweets is minimal.

5:12 pm

uusue2

reminds me of when my ex said we had to cut back the raspberries in the garden to make space for the rhubarb - I told him the rhubarb could fend for itself, elsewhere if necessary!

5:12 pm

MollyL

Now I understand why he is an ex. : D

5:13 pm

uusue2

I don't actually have much of a sweet tooth but do love raspberries....

5:13 pm

Soodle

<------- Own worst enemy! Who started this conversation about food? Soodle! Who is obsessing about food? Soodle! Sheesh.....

5:14 pm

uusue2

well, here's Frank's prescription for eating healthy: Eat real food (not too processed), not too much, mostly plants. would work for me if I could stick to it.

5:15 pm

uusue2

and now I really am going to go read trashy novels. see you all later! really!

5:15 pm

Soodle

Craftily steering the conversationaway from the F word... Hows that son of yours doing, Sue?

5:15 pm

Soodle

Bah. Too late!

5:15 pm

uusue2

oh, hell, I am never going to get out of here, am i/

5:15 pm

uusue2

?

5:16 pm

MollyL

It's The Hotel California Sue.

5:16 pm

uusue2

anyway, he is ok, soodle, we were in court on Friday again and got the deal in writing

5:16 pm

Soodle

You can check out anytime, but you can never leave....

5:16 pm

uusue2

6-month continuance and then they won't prosecute, as long as he stays totally out of trouble

5:17 pm

uusue2

and eventually he can get it expunged from his record

5:17 pm

Soodle

Sue, I'm so happy for you. You've been through the mill!

5:18 pm

uusue2

and he is finally totallly disgusted and over the girl - he is still a bit shocked at how she is willing to say anything about him (many lies) if she thinks it might keep her out of trouble

5:18 pm

MollyL

Mill...grinds wheat...to make bread...back to food!

5:18 pm

uusue2

oh, hush, molly! no wheat at our house anyway :-)

5:18 pm

MollyL

This may not sound right Sue, but he needed to REALLY see her ugly side.

5:19 pm

uusue2

August 8 we are in court again to get an order of protection, then he and I are going to go visit my dad

5:20 pm

uusue2

her ugly side is pretty ugly, molly, and our lawyer was really able to tie her up in knots

5:20 pm

uusue2

*whispers - now I really am leaving!*

5:20 pm

Soodle

Uusue.... onwards and upwards!

5:20 pm

MollyL

In a way, I think it's good that he recognized how the "rescuer" in him can get him in trouble, at an early age.

5:20 pm

uusue2

*maybe if I sneak out quietly......*

5:21 pm

Soodle

You can check out anytime...........

5:21 pm

uusue2

*and now I am actually not here*

5:21 pm

Uneaixoise

hey, sue and molly and soodle :-)

5:21 pm

uusue2

5:21 pm

MollyL

Sue...minimize your computer screen and back away from the computer slowly...there you go.

5:21 pm

Soodle

Bye Sue ((())))

5:22 pm

uusue2

hi and bye, une!

5:22 pm

MollyL

Hi Une!

5:22 pm

Soodle

Hye Une :-). Molly, are you an Eagles fan?

5:23 pm

MollyL

I'm actually in awe of any young person who learns to defeat that rescuer quality early on. It took me years. And yes Soodle, I am an Eagles fan. More so, a Henley fan.

Blue Rodeo is another Canadian band that should have made it bigger than just in Canada. Never understood that.

5:38 pm

doseffing

... a few too many funny cigarettes ... and too much beer

5:38 pm

MollyL

Same thing I said about Alan Doyle goes for Jim Cuddy.

5:38 pm

MollyL

Really Dose? I would think that about Harmonium, but not Blue Rodeo. What do I know?

5:38 pm

Soodle

My brother worked as a family doctor in Newfoundland for about 15 years. He always reckoned that the Newfies were more Irish than the irish themselves. He may have been right...

5:39 pm

MollyL

Didn't a lot of Irish people end up in Newfoundland? That could explain it.

5:39 pm

doseffing

... ooh Harmonium! ... you're dating yourself with that group ... ... I still have three of their albums ... I'll have to go visit my daughter with one of them ... she's got a turntable ... I don't

5:41 pm

9vfU. This is my favourite Irish balladeer. Christy Moore. A gentleman, a scholar, and a good judge of whiskey. What more could a person ask for?

5:42 pm

MollyL

Not much Soodle, they don't make 'em like that anymore.

5:43 pm

doseffing

... I drove from Whitby to Vegas in '06 with my entire CD collection ... including "Cano" from Sturgeon falls ... singing "Au Nord du notre vie" ... ... I figure it's the first time the Rockies in Colorado have heard French singing since the LaVerendree's got there in 1750

5:43 pm

redturtlehead

OK I have returned yet again, I feel like I may be getting a cold. No appetite nothing tastes good...but yet I cna not sleep.

5:43 pm

MollyL

And I'm sure it was appreciated Dose. : D

5:44 pm

MollyL

Soodle, my favorite Irish scholar was John O'Donohue. That man was taken from us WAY too soon.

5:44 pm

carleekat

sounds like us in asheville dose when we went to visit scarlet...there we were on the top of a mountain ( shot guns going off in the distance to celebrate christmas morning)...in a hot tub..listening to GBS :D

5:45 pm

Soodle, you need to just eat some carrot sticks.

You will have to excuse Carlee. She wasn't here earlier when you were wailing about your "eating hardly anything" diet. *Mops up more water from the mouth full of carrots comment*

5:52 pm

5:53 pm

<---- sitting by self..." itss the end of the world as we know..and i feel fine"

5:54 pm

MollyL

Today, I put a lovely lettuce leaf on a plate and put two drops of vinagrette on it. Then I added three slivers of carrots and one almond. It was lovely and I haven't thought about eating for hours. There, 25 pounds from the c-word post is gone.

6:05 pm

redturtlehead

food is not sex. really. I know the difference.

6:06 pm

MollyL

Soodle, have you considered staying on the diet and becoming a sex addict? Kind of replacing one addiction for the other?

6:06 pm

rururocks

that sounds like my Kind o diet

6:06 pm

rururocks

ce 6/24 anyone?

6:06 pm

6:13 pm

Dorens

but then again, i don't have the recipe yet anyway.

6:14 pm

rururocks

I'll work that up right after I finish this thing

6:14 pm

6:24 pm

MollyL

Oh let's see. How do we describe food porn? Okay, porn is something that makes certain people want to...the phrase food porn was created about talk that makes certain people want to eat. Capice?

6:24 pm

6:25 pm

crossy indulges in soft porn

6:38 pm

Dorens

whoa. didn't mean to kill chat

6:44 pm

carleekat

crossy indulges in bacon porn

6:45 pm

Dorens

yes, but i've seen him do very intricate involved descriptions of non-bacon meals too

6:49 pm

carleekat

this is true...

6:49 pm

carleekat

( was sewing a button on a pair of shorts for my son who was in a panic...0

6:49 pm

Dorens

but not quite as seductive as yours, hence softporn.

6:50 pm

Dorens

anyway carlee, please give me my bouncie pompoms. i have fw and then am off. need a clue or two?

6:50 pm

Dorens

your son is in panic for button, but isn't he a boy scout (or the canadian equivalent?)

6:50 pm

carleekat

*~*~*POMPOM TOSS*~*~*for dorens WOOT WOOT!!!

6:51 pm

carleekat

no...he did hockey...boy scouts is NOt cool up here..HOckey is where it is at

6:51 pm

carleekat

for girl the guiding program is cool...for boys...not so much

6:52 pm

rururocks

sent recipe

6:52 pm

Dorens

yay. thanks. look forward to it.

6:53 pm

Dorens

oh, well of course hockey players can't sew up their own shorts, can they?

6:53 pm

carleekat

nope..the hockey gloves getin the way

6:54 pm

carleekat

as does teh hockey stick

6:54 pm

rururocks

that depends on where they put the puck doren

6:55 pm

Dorens

ohhh, okay ru, didn't realize i need farro. not that easy to find around here. But will. meanwhile i have my summer squash and leeks and should try to find something to do with them

6:55 pm

carleekat

cock a leekie soup... and cream of leek soup

6:56 pm

rururocks

farro is even in Safeway now

6:56 pm

carleekat

stuffed baby squash...( like u would a green pepper)

6:56 pm

Dorens

wow ruru that dish must look gorgeous. If pam makes it, we should have her take photos (she's quite the photographer, you know)

6:57 pm

rururocks

oh..it's colorful and not high in calories and also flavorful.

6:57 pm

Dorens

ok. thanks for the suggestions. I think i will just sort o stirfry everything i have... But should add the tarragon from the garden. i like that idea.

6:57 pm

carleekat

ok..i am taking a bath... and then reading..toodles all

6:58 pm

Dorens

so ru, would that be a main dish for vegetarian people. or does it qualify only as a side.
nite carlee!

6:58 pm

rururocks

tarragon adds a delicious note to the leeks.

6:58 pm

rururocks

it's filling as a main dish too

6:58 pm

rururocks

it's also great as a side with lamb chops

6:59 pm

Dorens

yes, and my leeks are looking like they want to be cooked today. I get carried away at the market sometimes and then forget how much is in the fridge. So i'm doing leeks and zucchini with some of your ingredients.. and i happen to have some cooked couscous so that's getting mixed in as well. will be a mishmosh, but will taste good. thanks

7:00 pm

rururocks

the caramelizing adds the best part of the dish

7:00 pm

Dorens

oh, and that is something i never wouldhave thought of myself

7:01 pm

rururocks

I always keep several packages of Farro around the house. I can send you one if you want

7:02 pm

Dorens

smile, thanks I will be sure to find it around here. Have multiple packages of whole wheat couscous and quinoa, but no farro, though I'm pretty sure I saw it recently somewhere like costco. Will get it when I get the delicata (assuming tomorrow's farm market might have some - didn't find it today)

7:03 pm

Dorens

so ru, carmeliziing these leeks. i've never done.... how long? what flame?

7:03 pm

rururocks

let me know if you like it.. you can do it in 30 minutes

7:03 pm

Dorens

i see you sa** medium flame

7:03 pm

rururocks

yes.. medium and toss them while they are cooking.. they brown up pretty quickly

7:04 pm

rururocks

the balsamic helps with the glazing

7:04 pm

Dorens

ok. and will cook my squash separately - not doing the carrots tonight, just squash, leeks, onion, tarragon. i do love white balsamic

7:05 pm

Dorens

right... will go out now to pick the tarragon . it's getting dark here. see you tomorrow to let you know how my bastardized version goes. (i know it will be delicious)

7:05 pm

rururocks

me too.. I use it on everything

7:05 pm

rururocks

that sounds kinda porny doesn't it?

7:05 pm

rururocks

lol

7:05 pm

Dorens
