jillibus

Bugsaw's gone to bed -- we've had a great time together.

2:31 am

jillibus

West -- I love your icon and poem. Haven't had time to change mine yet.

2:37 am

westford

thanks jilli was cleaning the kitchen

2:37 am

Jivingjenny0

good morning all, anychance of a clue for the 8 please?

2:38 am

westford

it's musical jenny

2:38 am

westford

think Chopin

2:39 am

Jivingjenny0

can you give me the stats west

2:39 am

westford

sure thought you had them..no 8/50

2:39 am

jillibus

ty west for the no8

2:39 am

Jivingjenny0

lovely, got it thanks

2:40 am

westford

you're welcome

2:40 am

jillibus

hi jenny and all

2:40 am

westford

jilli I had so much trouble with my icon..it refused to switch over

2:41 am

westford

jenny take the vowel off the end for a 7

2:41 am

jillibus

wel, it's here now, west!

2:41 am

westford

everyone but me could see it lol

2:42 am

westford

everyone but I ?

2:42 am

jillibus

hmm, I wonder -- me or I?

2:43 am

jillibus

but I sounds weird

2:43 am

westford

it does

2:43 am

westford

haz would know but she's never here any more

2:44 am

westford

busy with the wedding I'd guess

2:44 am

jillibus

I have to go to bed!

2:44 am

Jivingjenny0

west, have you ever visited Stonehenge?

2:44 am

westford

oh and josh is getting married this Sunday..had his bachelor party tonight

2:44 am

jillibus

wedding?

2:44 am

westford

no I haven't jenny ..would love to

2:45 am

westford

I remember she mentioned her daughter was getting married in August

2:45 am

jillibus

I've been to Stonehenge -- twice -- in 1936 and 1968

2:45 am

westford

it looks amazing

2:45 am

Jivingjenny0

It used to be absolutely wonderful, but now it is rather commercialised and you are no longer allowed to walk around the stones. It's a pity, but a necessity.

2:45 am

jillibus

poor josh will likely have a giant hangover tomorrow

2:46 am

westford

oh that is too bad..that's what I'd like to do

2:46 am

jillibus

we could go right in when I was there, jenny -- so long ago. Why do a few people have to spoil things for everyone else?

2:47 am

westford

josh said he didn't think he was doing enough re the wedding..I told him it was best if he stayed out of it lol

2:47 am

westford

back in the early 70's we could walk on the Parthenon too

2:47 am

jillibus

you're right, west.

2:48 am

westford

best he got his groomsmen in line

2:48 am

jillibus

can somebody clue the top left C? A cr5, I think

2:49 am

Norma

Hi Jilli .... cr + belonging to us

2:50 am

Norma

The belonging to us spelt diferent ...

2:50 am

jillibus

oh, thanks norma -- had me puzzled there for a bit!

2:50 am

Jivingjenny0

I have seen it from the road since they stopped you going right in but haven't ventured any further parly because it cost Â£7.50 each to get in!

2:51 am

westford

I suppose they need the fee for the upkeep

2:52 am

westford

which is pretty funny since it's a ruin

2:53 am

westford

I would like to announce with a great deal of pride that I finally have nbt

2:54 am

westford

that bottom middle a was my downfall

2:54 am

Jivingjenny0

would never have got that Norma without your help

2:58 am

jillibus

nbt and nbs here, over halfway and heading for bed -- goodnight/evening/day all and ...*poof

2:59 am

westford

good night jilli sweet dreams

3:27 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:30 am

westford

hi ruby purple fingers

3:30 am

rubyfoo

hello westford!

3:30 am

rubyfoo

and after all that work, I only got 4 jars!

3:30 am

rubyfoo

what a nice bunch of clues in the chog, those no's were brilliant!

3:30 am

westford

what happened?

3:31 am

rubyfoo

I use a food mill to remove the seeds but I guess they just weren't very juicy

3:31 am

westford

I liked the no8

3:31 am

westford

we don't have very many musical words

3:31 am

rubyfoo

me, too, but what a small grid for a Saturday

3:32 am

rubyfoo

are you up extremely late or very early?

3:32 am

westford

the first one

3:32 am

westford

can't sleep so here I am

3:32 am

rubyfoo

perhaps it's better than sleep

3:32 am

westford

what did we do without babble?

3:33 am

rubyfoo

I can't remember, lol

3:41 am

rubyfoo

ooh, I just got an o6 on my own

3:42 am

westford

good job

3:42 am

rubyfoo

small pleasures!

3:42 am

westford

I was happy with that one too

3:43 am

westford

a real word lol

3:43 am

rubyfoo

for a change

3:43 am

rubyfoo

I can't believe my husband has moved his aperitif time from 11AM to 10:30! Too bad for him, I'm not joining him

3:44 am

westford

that is early..

3:45 am

westford

he must be an early riser

3:45 am

rubyfoo

his eyes are bad and he gets up at 5AM, so can't read as long as he would like -- but still.....

3:45 am

rubyfoo

and he would eat lunch at 11 now, if I would agree

3:46 am

rubyfoo

but I make him wait 'til 12 as we have a big breakfast on Sat and 'til 6 for dinner, although he'd like to eat at 5

3:46 am

westford

that's more like brunch

3:46 am

rubyfoo

old age is no joke!

3:46 am

westford

no kidding

3:47 am

rubyfoo

and since the big breakfast kills my appetite, you can imagine my interest in the other meals.....

3:48 am

westford

we eat late husband's mother used to have dinner on the table at 5 p.m. not here lol

3:48 am

rubyfoo

it breaks up the day too much and keeps me from seeing neighbors, etc

3:49 am

westford

I thought all Europeans dined late

3:49 am

westford

and took 3 hour lunches

3:49 am

rubyfoo

they do and we don't, so when they're cleaning up after lunch, I'm starting dinner

3:49 am

westford

so civilized

3:50 am

westford

did you get a new housekeeper yet?

3:50 am

rubyfoo

the only nice thing that happened this week as, when looking for something else, I found a large drawful of my old artwork from '68-'78, that my son had carefully put aside for me

3:50 am

westford

oh how nice

3:51 am

rubyfoo

our temp finished Friday and I'm hoping that the "real" one will start on Monday. This house gets very dirty, very fast!

3:51 am

rubyfoo

drawerful* bad typing

3:51 am

westford

I knew that's what you meant

3:51 am

rubyfoo

and the temp only worked 5 or 6 hours a week!

3:52 am

westford

that's hardly enough

3:52 am

rubyfoo

drawful sounds like a portmaneau word

3:52 am

westford

lol

3:52 am

rubyfoo

not with two long-haired dogs and a literally dirty garden (the sod didn't take!)

3:52 am

westford

an awful drawful

3:52 am

rubyfoo

or fully dreadful

3:53 am

rubyfoo

you can't imagine the dog hair and footprints

3:53 am

westford

I thought sod always worked..we just had some stuff sprayed on

3:53 am

westford

hydro seed I think it's called

3:53 am

rubyfoo

I take care of the kitchen, cooking and laundry but can't do a lot more than that

3:53 am

westford

that's enough !!

3:54 am

rubyfoo

I'm ready to paint that section of lawn green. Husband wants to pave it over!

3:54 am

westford

our new brick patio is beautiful

3:54 am

rubyfoo

it is very shady and the sod just turned to a muddy carpet

3:54 am

westford

only have less than half the yard for lawn now

3:55 am

rubyfoo

who laid the bricks? a professional? and are they in a zigzag pattern?

3:55 am

rubyfoo

nobody who looks at the garden says "Nice grass!"

3:55 am

rubyfoo

they notice the flowers

3:56 am

westford

yes very professional and not zigzag. started out that way and we didn't like it so they started over

3:56 am

rubyfoo

I had better go now with less than half done. But it's been very nice chatting with you westford; I hope you can get some sleep
!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

what is between the bricks?

3:56 am

westford

nice to see you too ruby

3:57 am

westford

some kind of sand..they did a fantastic job

3:57 am

westford

I'll post pictures

3:57 am

westford

the entire yard had to be graded and you wouldn't believe the roots

3:57 am

rubyfoo

I would love that, but unfortunately, we have to continue the flat stones from the pathway or it will look too odd

3:57 am

SaddySolar

helllo all

3:57 am

rubyfoo

you have my e-mail, yes?

3:58 am

rubyfoo

it's in my profile

3:58 am

rubyfoo

4:53 am

sprite

good morning all... who shrunk my babble?!

5:39 am

sprite

fireflies. Not too hard, a bit too small.

6:03 am

MollyL

Only 76 words and 13 of the tiles are vowels. Wheeeee! Who do I have to pay to get a decent grid on a Saturday?

6:05 am

hurshy

unfortunately i believe doc just lets them generate randomly

6:05 am

Soodle

Me Me. Pay me!!

6:05 am

Soodle

(Cant do anything about the grid, but needs a cash injection....)

6:06 am

MollyL

Weird odds then. They have been small on Saturday for weeks now. Hi Hursh. Hi Soodle.

6:06 am

Soodle

Hi Hursh, Molls :-)

6:06 am

hurshy

chance is a funny thing

6:07 am

MollyL

*Quickly checks Lottery tickets*

6:07 am

Soodle

.............(holding breath..........)

6:07 am

hurshy

the lottery is simply a voluntary tax on the poor - another example of class warfare.

6:08 am

MollyL

Breathe Soodle, I'm still a peasant.

6:09 am

Soodle

I know, Hursh, but I have been doing the same set of numbers for years now, and I am petrified that the day I stop doing them,.....the inevitable will happen.

6:09 am

MollyL

Well, the lottery gives me a chance at a dream a few times a week. I can't knock that.

6:10 am

Soodle

What Molly said!

6:10 am

hurshy

sigh.

6:11 am

hurshy

maybe you need a different dream. maybe your sense of what a lot of money would do for your life is inaccurate.

6:11 am

MollyL

Meanwhile, I have the Summer cold from hell, so it's hot liquids and old movies for me today. *Sniff*

6:12 am

hurshy

or you could find a friend who would do what my dad used to do for people - they paid him the money they used to put on lottery tickets, and then when they felt like winning, he'd give it all back to them.

6:14 am

hurshy

this grid makes me want macaroni and macaroons

6:15 am

MollyL

Oh thanks for the clue Hursh. : )

6:16 am

hurshy

clue? what clue?

6:16 am

MollyL

One of your words, less two letters.

6:16 am

Soodle

LOL, yeah, thanks Hursh. That gave me the color.

6:17 am

hurshy

oh, i see. :)

6:17 am

MollyL

Three letters

6:19 am

Soodle

That was quite a good idea your Dad had with the lottery players, Hursh. But, I think I will continue with my quest for millions :-)

6:23 am

Maryte

GMorning Babble Peoples!! :0)

6:24 am

Soodle

Hi Mary

6:25 am

Maryte

Hey Soodle!

6:26 am

Maryte

I'm with you on the lottery.....cha-ching!

6:27 am

MollyL

Along with making sure my family is taken care of, I have a philanthropic use for lottery winnings, so I figure I would put the money to good use. I have no desire for fancy cars and rich stuff.

6:29 am

Maryte

Seriously, me too....I am quite comfortable with my lifestyle... After making sure that my family is taken care of.... I would help others with the money...my fav is foster children..

6:31 am

MollyL

That's good Maryte. There is a lot of room for improvement in the care of foster children. Sometimes I think foster animals are treated better.

6:34 am

Maryte

they have so little.....the highest expectation these children have is a decent meal and someone who cares...you rarely see foster kids with a pair of Nikes or a Dora backpack....

6:35 am

Soodle

<---------- hanging head in shame, as dreams of luxury yachts, fast cars and a debauched life fly out the window.....

6:36 am

MollyL

There is a running theme in the TV show "Bones" where two of the main characters were foster kids. They touch on the subject of what it's like to grow up that way. I give the writers some credit for using that to create awareness of the situation.

6:36 am

hurshy

it's highly admirable to want to help foster children. it's just, if you set out with that goal in mind and tried to figure out the best way to help, playing the lottery would not be high on the list.

6:36 am

Maryte

Not that name brands make life better, its just they know they will never own what our children take for granted, I want to set up scholarships for these kids....Soodle..you know what you would do...you are too nice...

6:38 am

MollyL

<--- Knows that Soodle would be donating to worthy causes in between yacht trips and rides in her fast car.

6:38 am

Maryte

I already help these kids Hurshy.... winning the lottery would really expand what I can do.....

6:39 am

Maryte

O.k. I know Soodle would take them for rides on the yacht and fast cars!!!

6:40 am

Soodle

Good for you Maryte. (meanwhile I consider myself to BE a worthy cause :-)...)

6:40 am

ivesy3

my sister took in foster kids..adopted two litle brothers.. gave me two beautiful nephews

6:41 am

Maryte

haha!! If I win, I will get you a scholarship!!

6:41 am

Maryte

God bless her Ivesy! It is a wonderful calling....

6:41 am

Soodle

Thanks, Maryte. To Barbados, or Hawaii, please!!

6:42 am

Maryte

University of Hawaii??

6:42 am

Soodle

Ivesy - thats fantastic. I took 2 little boys from Chernobyl one summer. It was very difficult, but so rewarding.

6:42 am

Maryte

or University of Fiji??

6:43 am

ivesy3

yes, it is difficult.. she had to give up quite a few that we became attached to. dont think people realize how many kids out there need a family

6:44 am

Maryte

But Ivesy..she sent them onward with the experience of someone who really cares and what a real family is like...

6:45 am

ivesy3

true.. she would have adopted them all lol!

6:46 am

MollyL

I think dreams are a good thing. Life would be very bland and mundane without them.

6:46 am

Maryte

here, here Molly!! So true.....

6:46 am

ivesy3

i dream im out of debt.. in the meantime its a nightmare

6:47 am

MollyL

(((Ivesy)))

6:47 am

Soodle

We still get letters from the two lads we took for the summer. They are both 19 now, and doing very well. They still speak highly of their summer here. I think my own kids benefited more than the 2 fostered kids.

6:48 am

MollyL

Letters? You actually get letters? Not texts that say "how r u". I am overjoyed that people do indeed still write letters. Yay!

6:50 am

Soodle

Actual letters Moll! Its a joy to receive them, in among all the bills. I know the feeling, Ivesy!

Apparently it is some kind of plum/apricot combo. The word was in the grid yesterday and people were talking about them. Me, I've never heard of them.

9:24 am

rubyfoo

sounds as good as a chocolate martini to me, molly!

9:24 am

MollyL

Chocolate martini...*Gag*

9:25 am

crosshair

ahh frankenfruit! i was blown away the first time i saw brociflower

9:25 am

Maryte

mmmmmm chocolate.........

9:26 am

MollyL

You know the old saying, it's not nice to fool with Mother Nature.

9:26 am

crosshair

indeed,

9:26 am

rubyfoo

crash, bang, lightning, thunder!!!!!!!

9:26 am

crosshair

our ontario fresh peaches are out!! yaa no more crap trucked from the states and ripened on I 95 lol

9:26 am

MollyL

I try to stay on Ma Nature's good side. I find if I'm good to Her, She's good to me.

9:26 am

rubyfoo

it's funny, crossy, we like brocollini. Cook it to death, saute with garlic and olive oil. It's wonderful

9:27 am

crosshair

never seen brocolini

9:27 am

MollyL

Fresh peaches are a little bit of heaven. So juicy, you have to eat them over the sink.

9:27 am

rubyfoo

I just yelled at the neighbor-children "Shut up!" and the screaming stopped immediately. Husband was very embarrassed.....

9:28 am

crosshair

yup,i have a beard,so i make a total disaster of myself when i eat fresh peaches:)

9:28 am

rubyfoo

We get white peaches here, molly, and I've been making preserves with them while they last. They're the best

9:29 am

rubyfoo

I guess I'm a grumpy person, but it gets very tiresome when children scream all the time. I don't know how their parents stand it.

9:29 am

Maryte

.......tomatoes from the garden....mmmmmmm

9:29 am

crosshair

poor grumpy ruby..have a nice martini

9:29 am

crosshair

what i dearly miss are the sweet pea pods right from the garden

9:29 am

rubyfoo

I have the most tomatoes this year that I've ever had, enough to give away! And they're huge.

9:30 am

Maryte

tis a good year for tomatoes and cuccumbers

9:30 am

crosshair

i remember as kids we would sit in the garden for hours eating peas

9:30 am

rubyfoo

I loved growing peas but then, after the second year, developed a severe allergy to the pods and the raw peas, severe enough to need an adrenalin shot

9:30 am

crosshair

:(

9:31 am

rubyfoo

one year, since we've lived here, all the tomatoes in this valley turned black. Very weird

9:31 am

rubyfoo

I used to love shelling peas and eating the occasional raw pea.....

9:31 am

crosshair

gads! where are the words in this bloody grid?

9:32 am

rubyfoo

I can't even reach half! (but I couldn't yesterday, either)

9:32 am

crosshair

half? i cannot get past 20!

9:33 am

rubyfoo

when I was a kid, my friend and I used to steal figs from a neighbor's garden. Nowe I have an enormous fig tree, beautiful, but it only gives ripened fruit sporadically

9:33 am

movieman

I have 26 left.....

9:33 am

crosshair

ahh just found that masked critter of the night

9:33 am

rubyfoo

hi movieman

9:34 am

rubyfoo

I have 41 left

9:34 am

MollyL

My tomatoes didn't do so well this year. Only got a few and I don't see any new growth. Ah well.

9:35 am

rubyfoo

mine are so laden that they are flling down. Last year, I got none, just cherry ones, tiny but many

9:35 am

Marija rutkauska

good morning every one. My tomatoes r quite good this year especially the cherry tomatoes

9:35 am

rubyfoo

I don't know enough about gardens to understand, but I don't think it's up to me, somehow.....

9:35 am

rubyfoo

falling*

9:35 am

rubyfoo

where do you live, marija?

9:35 am

MollyL

I need to prepare my soil better next year. I enjoy the process though, even if the yield is sparse.

9:36 am

rubyfoo

my husband thinks it's cheaper to buy them every week, but there's no pleasure in that!

9:36 am

rubyfoo

and, no matter what, home-grown tomatoes taste better!

9:37 am

Marija rutkauska

i live just out side Montreal, it is on the west side of Montreal island in a small town called Kirkland

9:37 am

MollyL

The only place around here that I can get produce as fresh as home grown is at the Amish market. Their baby potatoes are SO good.

9:37 am

rubyfoo

as crossy said about peaches, they don't have to ripen on the truck

9:38 am

rubyfoo

your name looks Finnish or Lithuanian, so I thought you'd be in Europe, Marija. Presumptuous Ruby (sorry)

9:38 am

rubyfoo

many people around here grow their own potatoes and they are reputedly, much better

9:40 am

Marija rutkauska

My father is from Lithuanian, my mother from Ireland, we immigrated from Yorkshire england into Ontario, then i met my husband who is from Montrea so i am here now

9:40 am

rubyfoo

half, yay!

9:40 am

crosshair

$2,50 a basket..crossy is in peach heven!

9:41 am

rubyfoo

well, marija, it is nice to see you here. My husband's antecedents came from Lithuania, too, but in the 19th C.

9:41 am

rubyfoo

that is a good price, crossy, you should "put some up" for winter

9:41 am

MollyL

I have tried growing potatoes, but apparently, they need cool nights, which we don't have in the summer.

9:42 am

crosshair

i have never done preserves in the last 15 years,i am out of practice

9:42 am

Marija rutkauska

thank you Ruby, it is a small world, i think we r all related at some point

9:42 am

crosshair

boiling all those darn jars and rubber rings is all i can remember lol

9:42 am

crosshair

and the wax plugs

9:42 am

rubyfoo

I've never had home-grown potatoes, but even the ones in the market are better than American ones (but it doesn't make up for the terrible beef!!!!!)

9:42 am

rururocks

does anyone have the mo 6/21?

9:43 am

rubyfoo

not me, ru ru, I must be a mo5/12

9:43 am

wvteach

m+ name of constellation

9:43 am

crosshair

ty teach

9:43 am

rururocks

thank you teach.

9:43 am

rubyfoo

I don't bother with that, crossy, just make the jam or jelly, get the jars really full, invert them and hope for the best.

9:44 am

rururocks

I sure couldn't find that one

9:44 am

rubyfoo

Nobody's ever been poisoned here (although I some times hoped so)

9:44 am

crosshair

lol,hope to hear those lids pop

9:44 am

rubyfoo

ty teach!

9:45 am

rubyfoo

that is a very nice thing to say, marija, but I think crossy has the most distinguished roots!

9:45 am

Marija rutkauska

coon

9:46 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, making marija a vodka smush in the pb! lol

9:46 am

crosshair

problem is now i have no equipment,will need a case of jars,lids and rings and the deep boiler pot...peaches will cost 10 dollars a pint by the time im done lol

9:47 am

rubyfoo

I don't do it that elaborately, crossy, just do small batches at a time. I boil the jars and lids for a little while and the worst thing that ever happens is a little mold forms and I just scoop it off! That's why I'm so tough

9:47 am

MollyL

The cost of all that stuff is why I freeze leftover fresh fruit.

9:47 am

crosshair

lol ruby makes her own pennicillin

9:47 am

rubyfoo

yes, molly, except my fridge/freezer, appears to be dying.

9:48 am

rubyfoo

you betcha

9:48 am

rubyfoo

from what the locals say, that mold won't hurt you.....it's a little bit disgusting, but I wear gloves

9:48 am

Marija rutkauska

sorry , pushed wrong button, was trying a new word. Crossy what r your roots if i may ask? thank you ruby for the vodka smush

9:49 am

crosshair

though i love the minds eye view i have right now of rows of preserves,jams,jellies,bread and butter pickles,small taters,chilli sauce all lined up in rows,..corn peas...

9:49 am

rubyfoo

crossy is VERY distinguished, not the child of immigrants like most of us!

9:50 am

rubyfoo

crossy: I worry about vermin in the pantry....

9:50 am

MollyL

That would be the pantry of my friends in Pennsylvania. They have a small farm and they put up fruit, vegetables, spaghetti sauce and salsa.

9:51 am

rubyfoo

for a New York girl like me, "putting up" fruit is a delicious and strange pleasure

9:51 am

crosshair

i am of the melbourne clan marjia,trace our tree back to just before the year 1000 in france MAL-BOURN but we were big in the 1700,s and 1800,s in england,dirty old men we were for the most part,chasing princess round the castle lol

9:51 am

Shirlockc

am7?

9:51 am

crosshair

kind of a dubious fame at best

9:51 am

rubyfoo

hello shirlock, you must be kidding

9:52 am

rubyfoo

crossy: I think my husband must be related to your clan

9:52 am

crosshair

lol

9:52 am

Marija rutkauska

whoa, yes u r quite distinguished, crossy

9:52 am

MollyL

a + good ***ning + a rh*** has a big horn on it's nose

9:52 am

Shirlockc

thx molly

9:52 am

rubyfoo

I had a biz friend from SA who, when asked if he had a criminal record when entering Australia said,"Is it still necessary?"

9:53 am

9:55 am

Marija rutkauska

Bye everyone, must get some work done

9:55 am

MollyL

Ruby your friend from SA is a smart ass. I would get along with him just fine.

9:55 am

crosshair

lol,like i say,dingos and convicts..a dubious honor at best:) but i love all my aussie friend,,just pullingn yer leg

9:55 am

rubyfoo

bye marija, it was nice to see you!

9:56 am

Marija rutkauska

thank you every one

9:56 am

rubyfoo

I had a lot of fun travelling with my "factory guys" when I was working

9:56 am

rubyfoo

hey crossy, 43 words, nya nya nya

9:56 am

crosshair

:P

9:59 am

rubyfoo

I think 43 is it!

9:59 am

MollyL

Jeeze. 31 American special ops service people were killed in a helicopter shoot down. Are we EVER going to get out of this pointless war?

9:59 am

crosshair

now i am going to make it my goal in life to get 44 words:P

9:59 am

rubyfoo

that is horrible, molly!

9:59 am

rubyfoo

happy to help, crossy

10:00 am

crosshair

not to worry when the country goes bankrupt,they will have to pull the troops

10:00 am

rubyfoo

molly, between you and me, we could probably settle this deficit problem: legalize drugs, raise taxes on the rich and end these futile wars!

10:01 am

crosshair

lol,make weed legal and the taxes would pour in

10:01 am

rubyfoo

exactly!

10:01 am

MollyL

Oh but Ruby, they will never raise taxes on the rich. The rich run the country. And yes, it's high time we AT LEAST legalize marijuana.

10:01 am

rubyfoo

did anyone (refering to Crossy's note) see Saving Grace with Bl;enda Blethyn, one of my faves

10:02 am

MollyL

Nope, haven't seen it.

10:02 am

rubyfoo

opium growing finances the taliban. So drug companies make money with synthetic opium. How stupid is that?

10:02 am

crosshair

legal booze can be more evil than legal weed can ever be

10:03 am

rubyfoo

Legalize opium and the war in Afghanistan would end (taliban would run out of money), painkillers would be virtually free, and the drug company lobbies would lose their power

10:03 am

MollyL

My ex used to say he would much rather meet a stoner in a dark alley than a drunk. The worst thing the stoner will do is steal your twinkies. : )

10:03 am

rubyfoo

Ruby is not popular!

10:04 am

crosshair

crossy thinks what legal weed in grams,1/4 oz and half oz would do for his convienienvce store monthly totals:)

10:04 am

rubyfoo

that's so true, moll

10:04 am

MollyL

You are popular with me Ruby. It's high time the drug lobbies and the insurance leeches get squashed.

10:04 am

rubyfoo

I could grow it for you, crossy, in my potager

10:04 am

crosshair

lol

10:05 am

crosshair

here an oz or less right now is just a ticket,not a felony like of old

10:05 am

rubyfoo

I think the drug lobbies are responsible for the border problems with Mexico and the war in Afghanistan! Next, they'll start monitoring my e-mails!!! hahahah

10:06 am

crosshair

lol,as long as it is not all in little gram baggies

10:06 am

rubyfoo

the whole thing makes me angry

10:06 am

crosshair

err,ruby,here the powers that be can request from your isp provider a list of every sitre you have been to and everythin gthing you did there

10:07 am

rubyfoo

OMG

10:07 am

crosshair

law is less than a year old

10:07 am

rubyfoo

I think you could commit a murder in France and they'd say "Oh, she had a difficult childhood"

10:08 am

rubyfoo

not that I'm considering it, or anything lol

10:08 am

crosshair

but they are very close to legal weed,so we will not care lol..if the doctor will let me smoke it that is:((

10:08 am

rubyfoo

if some law-enforcement geek wants to read all of this sh**, "have at it!"

10:09 am

MollyL

Sadly, the word is full of enablers and excuse makers.

10:09 am

crosshair

right now on most days,good ole fresh air can be an adventure lol

10:09 am

rubyfoo

this is probably a (gin) martini talking, but too bad

10:10 am

rubyfoo

and, on this note, I have to make dinner.

10:10 am

crosshair

i love it when ruby gets all fiesty after her nightly martini:)

10:10 am

rubyfoo

43, crossy, 43! I'll be back after dinner to check on your progress.

10:11 am

crosshair

lol,ill shall do my best

10:11 am

rubyfoo

at least I'm not yelling at you to be quiet (like the neighbors, who, BTW, have been quiet since I shouted at them)

10:12 am

rubyfoo

hah, 44!

Just wondering where in NJ you're going

11:37 am

uusue2

hi again, hego :-)

11:39 am

uusue2

my dad lives in Millington

11:39 am

uusue2

but I will be driving, so will have my car

11:39 am

hego

Not familiar with that. Is it north?

11:39 am

uusue2

near Morristown

11:40 am

uusue2

so yes

11:40 am

hego

Aha! northwest Jersey.

11:40 am

hego

Nice up there.

11:40 am

uusue2

north central, anyway

11:41 am

uusue2

it is - his house is on the top of a ridge, so when you look out his living room window all you see is woods

11:41 am

uusue2

he's near the intersection of 287 and 78

11:41 am

hego

Busy area

11:41 am

uusue2

interstates are busy but the towns are small

11:42 am

uusue2

are you in south Jersey?

11:42 am

hego

I'm down on the Shore, near Asbury Park

11:42 am

uusue2

oh, ok, we used to go to Point Pleasant when I was a kid

11:43 am

hego

Very congested this time of year

11:43 am

hego

Can't wait for Labor Day

11:44 am

hego

It's the locals favorite holiday. lol

11:44 am

uusue2

I'll bet! We always took our vacation in August because my dad said by that time the water was nice and warm (and it was :-)

11:44 am

hego

true

11:44 am

hego

And less crowded than JUly too

11:45 am

uusue2

last time i was there was in the mid 60s; I'll bet it's changed a lot since then!

11:46 am

hego

Yes, it was nicer then.

11:46 am

hego

And way less expensive.

11:47 am

uusue2

we usually just went for the day, with a picnic lunch, so the main expense was parking (and gas, which was very cheap back then)

11:47 am

hego

nice

11:48 am

anyway I am headed out for a while, see you later!

howdy!!! so excited to see you both!

11:57 am

Trifioso

how's the family, cross? Elegant and the boy doing well?

11:58 am

crosshair

both doing fine trif;) and how about you and your clan?

11:59 am

Trifioso

mostly well, thank you! Summer is my VERY busy season, and this year has been more busy than last, so that's been a challenge. Primo is SO excited to be heading off to college soon, but he has had a tough summer due to a very troubling bout with Lyme disease that really knocked him for a loop. He is down to just 116 lbs, which is a light weight for an 18 year old, obvs.

12:00 pm

crosshair

lyme disease? from ticks right?

12:00 pm

Trifioso

he does seem to be doing much better lately, and managed a full dinner last night, so thats good. Yes, from a deer tick bite. It was a CLASSIC bullseye - honestly, the doctor said they could have put a photo in a text book

12:01 pm

crosshair

yes a healty 18 year old boy should be in around 150-160

12:01 pm

crosshair

healthy

12:01 pm

Trifioso

mind you, he has always had a "body by kermit" but it is getting SCARY

12:02 pm

crosshair

give him supplimental protein shakes with meals

12:02 pm

crosshair

you can get them at pharmacy

12:02 pm

Trifioso

eating isn't the problem....er...."retaining" the meals is

12:03 pm

crosshair

mm:(

12:03 pm

Trifioso

anyway...as I said, he is doing much better this week, especially the last couple of days, so I am hopeful

12:04 pm

Trifioso

and it has been SO FUN getting him ready to go off to his new college adventure. Getting dorm supplies, registering for classes, etc.

12:04 pm

crosshair

scary time for the kids,but once they get first year done it is all good

12:05 pm

Trifioso

yes, I agree. I remember so well the real mix of anticipation and dread fear. And then going back for sophomore year was a breeeeeeze

12:06 pm

Trifioso

crossy, quick canadian question -do you guys have the same Discovery Channel programming up there that we have in the States? i.e., is it "shark week" for you all too?

12:07 pm

crosshair

they can focus on specific targets and that will be perfect for my son when he finishes high school

12:07 pm

crosshair

yes we do trif

12:07 pm

crosshair

crossy loves discovery and history channel

12:09 pm

Trifioso

I'd add the Science Channel and maybe National Geographic, but I like your list :-)

12:19 pm

rubyfoo

hello, back to try to find 29 impossible words

12:20 pm

uusue2

hi, ruby! I only have 28 and already some of them were impossible :-P

12:21 pm

uusue2

perhaps I shall amuse myself by making up some words, like mootif (a cow theme)

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

12:22 pm

rubyfoo

finished (1/2 way at least) with my post-prandial chores

12:23 pm

uusue2

good for you, ruby! I slept in and am just finishing my breakfast (!)

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

no chance of sleeping in around here!

12:23 pm

rubyfoo

all I've done today (besides babbling and reading) is cook and wash pots

12:24 pm

MollyL

If Ru were here he would say "Udderly terrific word Sue"
: P

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

do you have the lone e?

12:24 pm

uusue2

well, that is two more things than I have done (unless you count putting the yogurt on my cereal as cooking)

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

eeew, molly

12:24 pm

welki

hi folks

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

close enough, sue

12:24 pm

rubyfoo

hi welki

12:24 pm

MollyL

ec4 a color Ruby

12:25 pm

uusue2

I do: ec4/6, pale tan

12:25 pm

uusue2

hi, welki!

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

slap me with a mack!

12:25 pm

MollyL

Hi Welki

12:25 pm

uusue2

I do not, however, have any words from the j or from the central o

12:25 pm

uusue2

except the of5 fish that i just found :-P

12:25 pm

rubyfoo

would you like clues or stats, for once, I have both

12:26 pm

MollyL

**** in holy matrimony Sue

12:26 pm

uusue2

oh look! You can go to the RIGHT from that J! (thx, molly)

12:26 pm

rubyfoo

ou6, what you'd wear to the ceremony

12:26 pm

uusue2

you would think I would know that one, being as I've done it so many times :-P

12:27 pm

uusue2

thx, ruby!

12:27 pm

MollyL

Shush Sue. You are not Elizabeth Taylor.

12:29 pm

MollyL

Or Zsa Zsa. I think she got married more times than Liz.

12:29 pm

rubyfoo

elizabeth taylor wilding burton fisher burton something or other +++

12:29 pm

uusue2

true :-)

12:30 pm

MollyL

I've never gotten the Burton twice thing. I would think once would be enough for anyone.

12:30 pm

rubyfoo

from what I've read, they were obsessed with each other.....

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

do I read trash or what?

12:31 pm

uusue2

I have a friend here who got divorced and then remarried the same guy - it's working for her...

12:31 pm

rubyfoo

I have a friend in SA who did the same thing, with somebody else in the middle, but she's miserable now

12:31 pm

uusue2

oh and thanks to molly ad ruby I have nbs and nbt

12:32 pm

rubyfoo

did you get the stupid co6/36? I was just monkeying around

12:32 pm

MollyL

Oh see, therein lies the downfall. Whenever anyone uses the word "Obsessed" look out. It's one of my red flags for instability.

12:32 pm

uusue2

with my friend I think the first marriage was brief, and they were quite young; she also married someone else but they've been together almost 20 years now (the second time)

12:33 pm

Deeha

Wasnt the other husband Mike Todd - always thought he suioted her best?

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

ahah, molly, I am only obsessed with finding the names of the 7th dwarf and the 8th reindeer! hahah

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

right, deetha, I forgot about him

12:33 pm

uusue2

no co6 here but I am just starting

12:33 pm

MollyL

Sue, I'm guessing that your friend's husband is not a raging alcoholic. That's what I don't get about Taylor marrying Burton twice.

12:33 pm

rubyfoo

but wasn't she, also?

12:34 pm

MollyL

It's possible Ruby, although I have never read that about her.

12:34 pm

uusue2

from what I can tell he is not. I don't know him well but he seems nice (every time I see him he is working on their farm)

12:35 pm

rubyfoo

DH says that he once saw them together when he was at a game park in SA and they were roaring drunk and roaring!

12:35 pm

crosshair

ruby!!! 56!!:P

12:36 pm

rubyfoo

oh no! that crossy is too smart!

12:36 pm

12:37 pm

crosshair

12:39 pm

BettyAnne

12:39 pm

hego

Hi Ruby!

12:39 pm

MollyL

12:39 pm

rubyfoo

MollyL

12:39 pm

MollyL

12:54 pm

EvaNadine

my mom made them + sent them home for hubby, but he doesnt really eat them. honestly, theyre not that good!

12:54 pm

hego

still jealous

12:54 pm

EvaNadine

heh, molly, already had a side salad with my jr cheeseburger from wendys for lunch. ;)

12:55 pm

MollyL

<--- Instantly depressed at the thought of a chocolate chip cookie that doesn't taste good

12:55 pm

uusue2

something like that I would take to work and give to the graduate students :-)

12:55 pm

hego

yup

12:55 pm

EvaNadine

mom made them from one of those buckets of dough you buy from school fundraisers. the flavor is ok at best, but i prefer my cookies slightly underdone, and these just arent soft enough for my taste...

12:56 pm

MollyL

Oh, say no more. Fundraiser food. Ickity.

12:56 pm

EvaNadine

thats what i do whenever i bake at home. keep a small plate for hubby + roomie (and myself) and take the rest to work for the coworkers.

1:04 pm

uusue2

OK, I am up to 46 requests in gardens of time. better play again :-)

1:15 pm

hego

the little ones are always mean.

1:15 pm

hego

and tricky

1:15 pm

hego

Fireworks for me!

1:15 pm

LisaG

i cant even imagine many 6 letter words in there, let alone 7 and 8!!

1:15 pm

MollyL

Evil, nasty, tricksy small grids.

1:15 pm

LisaG

great job hego...proof that it can be done :)

1:16 pm

hego

I couldn't have done it without my monkeys.

1:16 pm

uusue2

not at all, although he was quite good about it even when little

1:51 pm

jesdraggon

i was imagining that trip with a 5 year old...

1:52 pm

uusue2

I would pile him in the back seat with his gameboy and a lot of books, and a miner's helmet (toy one) with a light so he could read in the dark, and he was fine

1:52 pm

jesdraggon

excellent

1:53 pm

uusue2

anyway, i am off for a bit, bbl!

1:53 pm

MollyL

3:10 pm

3:10 pm

MollyL

Hi Soodle

3:10 pm

periwinkle

27 left, bbs

3:11 pm

Soodle

Hey Molls :-). Could you perhaps give a lickle clue for the NO 8, please?

3:12 pm

MollyL

Well, if you're a Harry Potter fan, it's the name of an alley. If not, I'll clue it differently.

3:14 pm

Jeff7

co 6 pls

3:14 pm

Soodle

Erm... Not THAT much of a HP fan, Molly, could you try another clue, please?

3:15 pm

MollyL

K***k on the door + **** over a new leaf, then add a vowel for the 8

3:15 pm

MollyL

co6...co + **** in holy matrimony

3:16 pm

Jeff7

ty, couldn't see the second part there

3:24 pm

Soodle

Great. Thanks Molly.

3:35 pm

MollyL

Nothing like the smell of charcoal on a Summer Eve.

3:36 pm

Soodle

Nothing like the smell of charcoal around here. Its bucketing down with rain! We have had the grand total of 2 bbq's this year. Summer???

3:40 pm

Soodle

Watching 'Ghost' on TV. Great movie!

3:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

stats on the 8?

3:44 pm

Soodle

See Molly's clue at 3.15, Kap.

3:44 pm

Yvo

no 8/50

3:44 pm

Kaplan the Magne

just wanted stat thank you!

3:44 pm

MollyL

I love "Ghost". I get to hear Patrick Swayze say "I love you Molly" : )

3:45 pm

Dorens

that was a good movie

3:45 pm

Soodle

LOL Moll! He has just said 'Ditto'!

3:45 pm

MollyL

That and "A Few Good Men" are the only movies I can tolerate Demi Moore in.

3:46 pm

MollyL

Keep watching Soodle.

3:46 pm

Dorens

don't know that i've even seen her in any others

3:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Demi Moore needs to deal with the fact that she will be 50.

3:48 pm

MollyL

Never happen Kap. That is why she married the boy toy.

3:48 pm

Dorens

many of us have, and others will

3:48 pm

uusue2

hi again, all! back for my last 32 :-P

3:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

How long do you think Kutscher and Moore will last?

3:48 pm

MollyL

Hi Sue

3:48 pm

Dorens

hi sue

3:48 pm

Soodle

She is clearly subscribing to the '50 is the new 25' theory.

3:48 pm

MollyL

I'm surprised they've lasted this long, actually.

3:49 pm

Soodle

Hey Sue!

3:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Celebrities are narcissistically disturbed.

3:49 pm

MollyL

Also the theory that 30 goes into 50 better than 50 goes into 30. (Shame on me)

3:49 pm

uusue2

hi, molly, doren, soodle!

3:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I watched the Ryan and Tatum reality show and came to the conclusion that these people do not feel they exist unless they see themselves on screen

3:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Bad one, Molly

3:50 pm

Soodle

The 'Unchained Melody' bit is on now... pardon me while I gawp unashamedly at the sheer emotion of it all...

3:50 pm

MollyL

God bless the O'Neal family. They are such a mess.

3:50 pm

Dorens

sheer emotionality, to be sure

3:50 pm

MollyL

Gawp away Soodle.

3:50 pm

Kaplan the Magne

But I insist that Lady Gaga is more psychologically healthy and will neither die young nor require rehab

3:51 pm

Dorens

outfit

3:51 pm

Dorens

often

3:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

SUCH a mess. I could make a fortune if I were a Hollywood therapist

3:51 pm

Dorens

aakkk sorry

3:51 pm

uusue2

that's it, dorens!

3:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

thanks dorens!

3:51 pm

Soodle

Sheesh......Molly!!!! How can I watch the emotional scene while rolling on the floor laughing at your 30 in 50 post????

3:51 pm

MollyL

*Stares at Kap with that HUH WHAT? look*

3:52 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No- really. I am serious.

3:52 pm

MollyL

Free clues! Gecher free clues here! : )

3:52 pm

Dorens

nope, i'm done

3:52 pm

Dorens

i don't mean fireworks, i mean done giving free clues

3:53 pm

Soodle

Encore, Dorens, encore.....

3:53 pm

MollyL

Kap, we can agree to disagree on that. Gaga is a HUGE narcissist.

3:53 pm

Dorens

how many entertainers are NOT?

3:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

She knows what she is doing and is in control of her act. Different from being narcissistically empty- as in HAS no "self"

3:54 pm

Soodle

Don't know what you mean, Molly. I wear dresses made out of raw meat all the time, and I'm not a narcissist.

3:54 pm

rururocks

I actually kinda like gaga

3:54 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Aw, Molly- don't be a drag- just be a queen!

3:55 pm

Dorens

ruru. made my first farro today. wow. this stuff is so wonderful

3:55 pm

rururocks

:D

3:55 pm

Soodle

Farro??

3:55 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Same with Madonna- she wasn't going to burn out early--too calculated...

3:56 pm

Dorens

italian kind of wheat... very healthy very delicious

3:56 pm

uusue2

it's a whole grain (wheat), isn't it, dorens? How do you make it?

3:56 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Tatum O'Neal on the other hand- thinly held together by rehab talk

3:56 pm

Soodle

And what do you make with this wheat?

3:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

because her dad dumped her for Farro Fawcett.

3:57 pm

Dorens

cooked it with bay leaf and a dried ancho chile, then combined it with chard, onion, garlic, shallot, roasted broccoli, lemon zest,

3:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Speaking of Farro.

3:57 pm

rururocks

yumm

3:57 pm

Dorens

right on time, yes kap?

3:57 pm

MollyL

*Goes to get bald, eunuch looking men to carry me through the chog in an egg*

3:57 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Farro Fawcett Majors.

3:57 pm

Dorens

huh???

3:57 pm

rururocks

lol molly

3:58 pm

rururocks

doren doesn't watch the grammies

3:58 pm

MollyL

It's a Gaga thing Dorens.

3:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Huh what?

3:58 pm

Dorens

you caught me!

3:58 pm

Soodle

Get them to peel you a couple of grapes as well, Molly.

3:58 pm

uusue2

do you eat it hot or cold, dorens/ (I could imagine it as a salad)

3:58 pm

Dorens

but now i figured it out. and i did see her meat dress

3:58 pm

rururocks

hot

3:58 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Chog is getting unwrapped again

No- it's a whole different thing- she does this therapist who does on-line therapy in 3 minute sessions and it is hysterically funny- nothing to do with Friends. It's an online series and also now on showtime.

4:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

She's aggressive and crazy and really funny. And I did not start this conversation.

4:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It is a must for all psychologists-in-training.

4:03 pm

rururocks

4:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Trust me Molly- would I steer you wrong?

4:03 pm

she might not survive on it.. this is experimental... three months to see if she can help raise enough money to make a difference, and then they will pay her decently (right now it's 2 K a month, which in nyc is less than rent, right?) but her bf is helping out during the experimental phasse

4:11 pm

rururocks

she's got lots of guts...

4:11 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lord, yes...

4:12 pm
