rubyfoo

and I don't like the idea of docking a tail!

2:55 am

rubyfoo

that is one of the most expressive parts of a dog. They've outlawed the practice in France, so people take their boxers etc. over a border to a vet

2:56 am

flosey

we are at a standstill here regarding another dog, I'd like one that I can lift to bath in the laundry sink

2:56 am

flosey

hubby wants another lab retriever

2:57 am

flosey

I did love our other one but she was too much for me to bath/groom

2:57 am

rubyfoo

we are having that problem with long-haired Ruby. She is stinky, but no groomer wants to wash hew

2:57 am

rubyfoo

her*

2:57 am

flosey

I ran into that here on the Island, I made the mistake of saying that she was a farm dog!

No problem.

4:08 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks again

4:10 am

Jivingjenny0

what's the weather like today where you are haz? It's wet and cold here in Oxford. My husband is in California in the sunshine - unfair!

4:11 am

Haz1558

It's wet at the minute but the sun is trying to break through.

4:11 am

Haz1558

The dark clouds look rather ominous, unfortunately.

4:11 am

Jivingjenny0

good job your beautiful wedding was last weekend

4:11 am

Haz1558

We were SO fortunate.

4:12 am

kje

jealous, haz... we are in a heat wave and drought

4:12 am

Jivingjenny0

the photos are wonderful

4:13 am

Haz1558

I'm looking forward to seeing what the real photographer comes up with - but it's fun to have a foretaste.

4:13 am

Deeha

Hi HaZ I am supposed to be going to The Picnic on the Green in Walmer this afternoon - I keep looking at the weather and wondering how long before I decide not to go!!

4:14 am

kje

love the iphone pic... so classic

4:14 am

Haz1558

He looks so pleased with himself, doesn't he?

4:14 am

Jivingjenny0

when my daughter got married the weather was wonderful until the last photo when you can see my d-i-l with her hand over her 2 day old babies face as she ran for cover. It then rained for 48 hours non stop

4:15 am

kje

he should be! he got his girl!

4:15 am

Haz1558

Picnics are to be enjoyed rather than endured so I can understand your dilemma, Deeha.

4:16 am

Jivingjenny0

I envy you living near the sea Deeha, we live about as far inland as you can get.

4:17 am

Deeha

I am a Lioness and I am supposed to be going to try to drum up new members but I have been three years running and so far-zilch!!

4:18 am

Deeha

Yes I do live in a glorious place

4:20 am

Haz1558

I take it being a lioness is related to the Lions clubs?

4:21 am

Deeha

Yes, they were formed in the days women werent allowed to join the Lions in their own right and a few of us are still hanging on!!

4:22 am

Haz1558

Hang in there - you'll be needed.

4:30 am

Deeha

Ive got goosepimples-just listening to the gorgeous Alfie Boe singing 'Bring Him Home' b!!

4:31 am

Haz1558

Deeha, have you ever listened to the four Valjeans, done at the concert to celebrate 20 years of Les Mis?

4:31 am

Haz1558

It's spine-tingling when Alfie Boe joins in.

4:32 am

Haz1558

Let me see if I can find it on youtube.

4:32 am

Deeha

Yes, I googled it last night. Amazing.

4:34 am

Haz1558

http://tinyurl.com/3rcro4c

4:34 am

Deeha

apparently he was discovered singing while he polished cars in a car factory in Liverpool

4:34 am

Haz1558

Ah, you've seen it already. I love the reactions of the other performers at the back. They're just in raptures.

4:36 am

Deeha

I have got thre 25th Annivbersary DVD and there is a bit with the original Jean Valjean -when he did it 25 years ago-you wouldnt recognise him - or Michael Ball!

4:37 am

Haz1558

We were fortunate enough to see Les Mis in London last year. The music is fabulous, isn't it? Michael Ball has got rather rounder but he can sing!

4:37 am

Deeha

Hes twice the man he used to be!!

4:37 am

Haz1558

I don't think we had any famous performers - I'd love to see Alfie Boe's Valjean.

4:38 am

Haz1558

Michael Ball always comes across very well in any interviews I've seen. He doesn't take himself too seriously but obviously works hard.

4:39 am

jitesh

hiiii\

4:39 am

Deeha

So would I. Tho I live reasonably close toLondon if I went for an evening performance I couldnt get home and often the 'big name' doesnt appear at the matinees

4:41 am

Haz1558

It starts to get very expensive once you factor in a night in London, doesn't it?

4:45 am

Deeha

True. There are coach trips locally but again it is matinee. I saw it years ago and I'd love to see it again whoever sings.

4:46 am

Deeha

Must go and do a few bits and peices now. Talk to you again. Good luck with grid.

4:46 am

Haz1558

Bye, Deeha, have a good day.

4:48 am

Haz1558

I should do the same. Back later.

But you might unremember!

6:13 am

Affijn, een mens is geen konijn.
Dammit, men is no rabbit.
Enfin, l'homme n'est pas un ....?

6:21 am

rubyfoo

6:21 am

Sally-catlover

The bike? Bewildered.

6:21 am

rubyfoo

sprite: whose chow chow is that? Looks like my dearly departed Rufus

6:22 am

sprite

excuse me???? Go wash your mouth, rubyfoo. With green soap! This is Terra!

6:22 am

rubyfoo

sprite said babble was like riding a bike or swimming

6:22 am

rubyfoo

terra looks like a chow! lucky terra

6:23 am

Sally-catlover

Ooooh! Well I think I'd wobble alarmingly on a bike these days although I used to ride one to work, and find swimming difficult now with my spinal problem. Hope Babble will be easier.

6:23 am

kje

i see a keyboard

6:23 am

rubyfoo

aaah, I just opened your profile and what looked like a ruff in the icon picture was actually ears! duh me

6:23 am

sprite

Terra is a King charles cavalier spaniel. Not even knee high. And utterly beautiful!

6:24 am

sprite

with spinal problems you should never swim on your belly, only on your back or just play around vertically in the water.

6:24 am

sprite

rubyfoo rubyfoo... been after the cooking sherry again? ;)

6:24 am

rubyfoo

sally, it's like when people say to me "Oh, swimming would be good for you". Maybe, except I would drown because I can't swim!

6:25 am

kje

she has better sources there than cooking sherry i imagine

6:25 am

sprite

lol yes, I think so too

6:25 am

rubyfoo

right now having desert: dulce de leche ice cream

6:25 am

sprite

keyboard... let me check if I have that one

6:25 am

Sally-catlover

I used to swim a lot ruby, and it's a sadness to me that I just can't.

6:26 am

Sally-catlover

Oh ruby, I've just started making ice cream with dulce de leche!

6:26 am

rubyfoo

it is the best!

6:27 am

rubyfoo

sally, I feel that way about running. I could run for an hour, it was just like dancing, and my orthopedist has forbidden it

6:27 am

sprite

but I have some hot-cathode vacuum tube, does that count?

6:27 am

carleekat

hi all

6:27 am

Sally-catlover

I can only get it in specialist shops, sprite. I used to be able to buy M&S rich caramel which was also good for ice cream, but they have stopped doing it :-(

6:27 am

rubyfoo

yay kje! and hello carleeeeeee!!!!!!

6:28 am

kje

hi carlee

6:28 am

isn't it awful, the things they take out of assortiment?

6:28 am

lollll oh ok kje. That is yesterday's icon. Icon clue for ebony.

6:29 am

Sally-catlover

Presumably you boil condensed milk kje? Have never liked to do that.

6:29 am

sprite

how do you do that, kje?

6:29 am

carleekat

yes...u boil a can of sweetened condensed milk

6:30 am

carleekat

u stick a can of it in a pot and u boil for about 4-5 hours

6:30 am

Uneaixoise

OMG, kje, we're having rain too!!! Yeehaw!!!

6:30 am

kje

here is a wiki, sprite... http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Dulce-De-L
eche

6:30 am

carleekat

( a pot filled with water...an unopenned tin )

6:30 am

kje

very very easy... just don't let the water boil hard or you will have a mess, slow simmer is best

6:30 am

sprite

perfect, thanks all :)

6:30 am

kje

a tin with holes in top!

6:31 am

kje

otherwise you risk explosion... you kow, the whole heat, pressure, closed system physics thing ; )

6:31 am

Sally-catlover

Oh I thought you didn't put holes in the tin?

6:31 am

kje

yea une!!!

6:32 am

MollyL

Not quite awake yet. We're boiling condensed milk to get what?

6:32 am

rubyfoo

bon jour une

6:32 am

kje

dulche de leche

6:32 am

carleekat

i had heard no holes...cus you can boil several and leave on shelf...( I cant do that way as ours have pull top lids..so i take a can..add brown sugar and butter and simmer stirring constantly until thickens and lightly boils ( about 15 mins )

6:32 am

rubyfoo

sweet milk caramel

6:33 am

carleekat

( and.....wea re BACk to food..man i had some yummies last night..but weird )

6:33 am

Uneaixoise

hey, ruby :-)

6:33 am

kje

you do not eed more sugar... it is already quite sweet

6:33 am

rubyfoo

weird yummies??

6:33 am

Uneaixoise

I'm soooo thrilled -- this was our one little window of opportunity for rain, then tomorrow we're going back to dry dry dry

6:33 am

kje

but you ca boil sans can if preferred... no explosion risk

6:34 am

carleekat

i have only seen 2 methods of making it kje...a shortened version ( butter and brown sugar added ) and the unopenned tin simmerd gently for 4-5 hours

6:34 am

MollyL

Gads kje I agree. Condensed milk is FULL of sugar.

6:34 am

sprite

I have some recipes for here with dulce de leche and never got around to making them. Now I can!

6:34 am

Uneaixoise

I remember my mom talking about how sweetened condensed milk was "dessert" during WWII rationing . . .

6:34 am

kje

soundns good, carlee

6:34 am

sprite

there is a whole list of methods on the site kje just gave

6:35 am

kje

sweetened condesed milk is phenom i coffee.... omg

6:35 am

carleekat

there was a sweet for dessert... and they were balls in sugar water....you had your pick..pink or white...and they looked like unrippened mozza balls... but were...a dense..wet cake thing...yummy..but weird

6:35 am

kje

fyi - can ot verify any of those methods except the can one! but sure they will all work

6:36 am

rubyfoo

sounds like my kind of desert, carlee

6:36 am

carleekat

and...sweet rice that was orange..not a rice pudding..just..sweet basmati rice..tasted like candy....weird

6:36 am

sprite

the site warns for not making holes in the tin, because there is a ri4 of explosion

6:36 am

carleekat

just..odd textures...

6:36 am

carleekat

so u do make holes..or dont sprite?

6:36 am

MollyL

Sounds like rasgulla Carlee. Although I think there is cheese involved in those.

6:37 am

sprite

you should make holes, yes

6:37 am

carleekat

they were bangladeshi desserts

6:37 am

rubyfoo

I think rasgulla has fresh cheese balls floating in rose-water flavored syrup

6:37 am

carleekat

and there was this weird ( but very tasty ) creamy curried fish...

6:37 am

rubyfoo

just boil the milk and hang it up in cheese cloth over night

6:38 am

MollyL

Please make holes kids. Don't want to hear about a condensed milk explosion in a Babbler's kitchen.

6:38 am

kje

heat... closed system... basic physics = increased pressure

6:38 am

carleekat

( they did not have texture of cheese...and i hate rosewater..i would have tasted that)

6:38 am

MollyL

Creamy curried fish...madame reaches for the bucket.

6:39 am

sprite

the tin method with holes is very clearly set out on kje's site, so I will do it just that way, don't worry :)

6:39 am

rubyfoo

I used to make gulab jam using Bisquick and powdered milk which I friend in cardamon and saffron-flavored syrup

6:39 am

carleekat

phantom of the day..tonsil

6:39 am

sprite

yep... as they say in holland: boem = ho.
BOOM = stop.

6:39 am

rubyfoo

fried* (not friend

6:40 am

boom could be exciting though... you'd have a story to tell

6:40 am

sprite

I have this feeling I could learn to love cooking when I would spend a lot of time with rubyfoo and carlee in the kitchen

6:40 am

carleekat

and..tonights dinner is potluck....i have NO idea what to take..i am thinking my green bean salad

6:41 am

6:44 am

rubyfoo

"hot stuff molly"

6:44 am

sprite

I bet that makes all the difference indeed.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

me, too, molly; I didn't like it until I made it leaving out the tahine

6:45 am

rubyfoo

same for baba ganoush, also leaving out tahine (nasty sesame paste eeewww)

6:45 am

MollyL

No tahine in mine either Ruby. Garlic, beans, lemon juice, tabasco, salt, pepper and tabaso.

6:46 am

sprite

now that sounds just great. Something with those ingredients should taste lovely.

6:46 am

rubyfoo

canned chickpeas, olive oil, lemon, garlic, salt

6:46 am

rubyfoo

just reading the word Tabasco makes me sweat!

6:46 am

sprite

and Molly uses double tabasco :)

6:47 am

rubyfoo

for another potential kitchen explosion, bake eggplant without piercing it!

6:47 am

carleekat

i have to have tahini in my humous ( not alot...maybe 2 tbsp / tin of beans )...I cook the beans first...and....lots of lemon..and puree until is colour and texture

rubyfoo

roasted eggplant for baba ganoush + lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and salt

6:47 am

7:08 am

carleekat

( i dont like raspberry seeds in my teeth ...and i work in an arab kitchen all the time..i have been trained on "How to make Proper humous" as per...the arab kitchen style....but yes on some things it is a texture thing for me...i dont like wet grainy things...)

7:08 am

MollyL

Wet grainy things? Like oatmeal?

7:09 am

carleekat

hmmm...wet cake...like basboussa...

7:10 am

carleekat

a semolina / cream of wheat textured cake..soaked in syrup

7:10 am

carleekat

7:10 am

MollyL

So, in commoners cooking, no rice pudding or bread pudding?

7:10 am

Scrabbler

*running off to kitchen to prepare oatmeal*

7:11 am

carleekat

no..i like rice pudding....and i like bread pudding...

7:11 am

carleekat

Scrabbler

I have no 7s, 8s or 9s

7:21 am

carleekat

pe9 think of slashing and highsticking...

7:22 am

Scrabbler

I have a very vivid, detailed and busy dream life. I find it exhausting--like watching TV all night.

7:22 am

Scrabbler

TY--one 9 down

7:22 am

MollyL

Sorry about your dream Carlee. Hope it is balanced by a good one about your Dad.

7:22 am

carleekat

i have busy dreams but they rarely have people in them that i am close to...people from my past...or peole i have never met...

7:22 am

Scrabbler

I need an i word from left i for NBT

7:23 am

carleekat

it was ultimately a good dream molls... he told my step mother nad i to stop being silly cryin gover him...that he is right here...kissed her on the cheek...gave me a hug..then went downstairs to watch tv whilst she and i headed to bed.he had a plate of munchies...and looked healthy but for a couple bandages where the iv's were

7:24 am

Uneaixoise

io6

7:24 am

carleekat

it refers to a partical...same ending as ur major artery

7:24 am

Uneaixoise

what a comforting dream, carlee

7:24 am

Scrabbler

GM Une. I found io4, now looking for op6

7:24 am

Uneaixoise

hey, scrabs :-)

7:25 am

carleekat

7:25 am

Uneaixoise

op?

7:25 am

MollyL

Nice way for him to reach out and let you know he's okay, Carlee.

7:25 am

Minveryork

io 6/21 word is plural of the io 5/12 word Uneaixoise.

7:25 am

Minveryork

Hello Uneaixoise!How are you? Welcome to the puzzle

7:25 am

carleekat

thats what i think too molls...

7:25 am

Uneaixoise

i have it, min -- was giving it to scrabs :-)

7:26 am

Scrabbler

I meant to type io6

7:26 am

Uneaixoise

right after my mom died in January, my daughter dreamt that she climbed into bed with her and they had a cozy chat -- extremely comforting for her . . .

7:27 am

Scrabbler

Une, I removed the seed pods from my Columbines (they are so cool) and planted dozens of seeds last weekend. I am waiting for them to pop up.

7:27 am

Uneaixoise

wow, you're gonna have columbine - a - palooza!!

7:28 am

Scrabbler

Perennials = low maintenance!

7:28 am

carleekat

it will be....but right now..its all too fresh... its a nice "last" sight of him to replace the real last sight of him...i have seen people close to death before but the condition he deteriorated to was out of a horror flick

7:28 am

Uneaixoise

Have nothing BUT perennials! LOL

7:29 am

Scrabbler

Yep, dying people no longer resemble their healthy selves.

7:29 am

Scrabbler

I plant some annuals---sweet potato vines, coleus, pansies, tornia, impatiens.

7:29 am

Uneaixoise

carlee, I totally understand -- it's really a relief that my dreams of my mom are always of "my mom before the years of dementia" . . .

7:30 am

Scrabbler

*tickle* A bunny is under the couch and nudging my ankles.

7:30 am

carleekat

very cute scrabs

7:30 am

Uneaixoise

how sweet, scrabs :-)

7:30 am

Scrabbler

Miss Beatrix Potter spends the day sleeping under the couch.

7:31 am

Uneaixoise

OMG, is that her name? How wonderful!

7:32 am

Scrabbler

When I went into the kitchen to make oatmeal she ran over, sat next to her empty salad plate and stared at me. Message = I would like some more greens please.

7:32 am

Scrabbler

I call her MIss Bea.

7:33 am

carleekat

my dog for some reason last night was barking at everything....it is not yet a full moon... but man...it was as if it was

7:35 am

Uneaixoise

<<<<<<< Beatrix Potter with bunny :-)

7:36 am

MollyL

What a sweet picture Une.

7:36 am

Uneaixoise

I agree!!

7:37 am

Scrabbler

Cute! My downstairs' bedroom = bunny-themed room. I have framed posters of Miss Potter's stories, of rabbits and of a Miss Potter biography poster.

7:37 am

carleekat

very cute scrabs....

7:37 am

Uneaixoise

I still have one wall of Beatrix Potter wallpaper in my duaghter's old bedroom :-)

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

*daughter

7:38 am

Scrabbler

Actually, my entire house = bunnies! I collect things with bunnies.

7:38 am

Uneaixoise

love that you have a bunny room!

7:40 am

Scrabbler

I now have a bunny wall border so will repaint the room to match. Also, I have many framed photos of bunnies in there. And it is Miss Bea's "room"--large crate, her food + water, but she has the entire downstairs for herself, and her salad plate is on her own little rug next to the kitchen. That's where she sits and waits for salad or lets me know she wants more.

7:40 am

Uneaixoise

i'm sure my backyard bunnies will be coming out soon for a snack now that we've finally had a little rain :-)

7:40 am

Scrabbler

My bunnies train me well.

7:40 am

8:06 am

8:07 am

MollyL

Weird that Enable won't accept sloat

8:08 am

jmcnrick

i understand. . . the last one i had was the night before my husband's best friend (also a lawyer) died. . .i was trying to call him and tell him that my husband (long dead) was waiting for him to smoke cigars and swap tales but they said he was too ill and i couldn't talk to him

8:08 am

jmcnrick

when i woke up from the dream i was struck by how real it was and then later that day i heard that the friend had died that night

8:09 am

72 Temple Owl

hi TO i waved at Temple yesterday while driving a kenyan around Quaker Mecca

8:10 am

carleekat

dad just told my step mum and i we were being silly ..that he is right here. gave my step mum a kiss on the cheek and me a hug..then he headed downstairs to watch the late night sports round up...with a plate of eggrolls

8:10 am

72 Temple Owl

you were here?

8:10 am

jmcnrick

well there you go--he wants you to know he is still nearby

8:11 am

jmcnrick

only a day tripTO and a long one at that--came home and went to bed

8:11 am

72 Temple Owl

wow sure it was, i worked from 11-11 last ngiht

8:12 am

jmcnrick

about a month after my husband died, a women that we didn't know well spoke in the middle of Meeting for Worship that my husband had just told her to tell me and the meeting that he was fine

8:13 am

jmcnrick

all 200 of us were shook up but she was a retired science teacher and said she asked why he told her and she said he said it was because she would rise and speak in meeting about it

8:13 am

jmcnrick

when she died many years later at the age 84 it was one of the last things she spoke about

8:14 am

jmcnrick

there are more things horatio . . . . .

8:14 am

72 Temple Owl

my brother said my mother came to him the night after she died and told him everything was all right. he instantly felt better.

8:14 am

8:15 am

carleekat

like i said...this dream will be of comfort....just..right now..i feel like i miss him even more than before... ok...enough...

8:16 am

MollyL

Well, to look on the bright side, people pay psychics to get the connection with a loved one that you are already open to, Carlee.

8:17 am

carleekat

:)

8:29 am

jmcnrick

i could not believe it--a friend of mine in Houston took me to a fortune teller and I sat and listened to a bunch of vague references for 15 minutes and then she had the nerve to charge me $50 and this was 30 years ago when that was real money!

8:31 am

MollyL

My boss went to a psychic after her husband died and was impressed by things she was told that could have been easily looked up on the internet.

8:31 am

carleekat

i went to a psychic as a teenager... and..strangely enough things she predicted have come true

8:31 am

MollyL

My issue with that is, did they come true because she saw them, or because you believed them, thus the self-fulfilling prophecy

8:32 am

jmcnrick

well I am sure fortune tellers can do a better job now with the internet -- "sorry the spirits are telling me to go to my back room for a minute"

8:32 am

MollyL

Oh, they can be hooked up with an ear piece from someone in another room who is feeding them information

8:33 am

jmcnrick

or did they come true because the were vague enough and likely enough for a person in your situation?

8:33 am

carleekat

2 kids... no travel for first part of life... divorce...money issues... they are only NOW coming true...

8:33 am

jmcnrick

i actually used to cast horoscopes (for money) and read palms (for fun)

8:33 am

carleekat

some 30 years later

8:34 am

jmcnrick

how many marriages end in divorce and what is the average family size?

8:34 am

carleekat

now...russel whats his face on the fb ..daily video horoscope...he has been OBSCENELY accurate for me...

8:34 am

carleekat

but this was 30 years ago when she said this

8:34 am

jmcnrick

and who doesn't have money issues?

8:35 am

jmcnrick

30 years ago i would have predicted the same thing--the average family size was 2 children and most marraiges end in divorce

8:36 am

carleekat

well...she did mention a second very happy marriage with travel... so... i guess over the next 30 years we will see if she was full of crap...or...

8:36 am

jmcnrick

trust me as a former horoscope caster--it is easy enough

8:36 am

MollyL

Yeah, those are pretty vague, easily to become accurate, predictions

8:36 am

carleekat

( also...i am remembering back 30+ years )

8:36 am

jmcnrick

well i hope that part comes true carlee

8:37 am

jmcnrick

great book: mistakes were made (but not by me)--talks about how we change our memories to suit what we need

8:37 am

jmcnrick

talks about a lot of other things too i really loved this book

8:38 am

MollyL

I refer to that as "selective memory" and I know people who are champions at it.

8:38 am

carleekat

somewhere i have a cassette tape of her....i should try and find it and listen

8:39 am

jmcnrick

actually some people remember things that never happened molly and it is practically universal as most attorneys will tell you from "eye witness" accounts

8:39 am

carleekat

it was an hour reading...

8:40 am

jmcnrick

when i was the eye witness of an armed robbery i said they got in a brown car and another witness said blue--the cops said blue and brown were often mistaken in car colors because they were the same intensity

8:40 am

jmcnrick

the car was blue btw

8:40 am

jmcnrick

but i was right about the gun

8:41 am

carleekat

then..we had a friend who read tarot cards..one afternoon she did my mum and i ..and since that day she has never done a reading since....she laid out cards....and there was a death right beside mum, an officer type person nearby..another man, injury, legal issues/ lawyer and money....then she did mine...and all of the same aspects were close by but not as near...

8:42 am

jmcnrick

<==read tarot cards too

8:43 am

jmcnrick

so from that we will conclude your mother dies in a car accident and you get gobs of money from the court case

8:43 am

carleekat

the mext week my grandmother fell ..broke her hip...went into hospital...mum's boss got her a special parking permit to park close tot he hospital ( he was a physician ) as when she finished work could not get near for parking...grama died a week later... and a friend of my mum's a police officer..moved into grammas house as caretaker until the will was probated... and mum was named executor in the will

8:44 am

carleekat

poor ann still wont read cards... she was so freaked out...

8:45 am

jmcnrick

well the fact is that the reading could have been applied to any number of situations and that is how people get convinced

8:46 am

jmcnrick

we forget the things that didn't get born out but remember the things that appeared to be and therefore we feel it is proved

8:46 am

carleekat

it didnt bother me...or upset me..or my mum for that matter...it upset the woman who read the cards for us

8:47 am

carleekat

and as it all happened within a week..she was really freaked out

8:47 am

jmcnrick

i do recommend that book carlee--it talks about that issue as well

8:47 am

jmcnrick

okay i am off to my daily photo of the back of my house. day before yesterday is my new icon

8:50 am

carleekat

Molly, if you're still here - I caught a raccoon last night. Uhg.

10:59 am

Dorens

hi judi. i've caught raccoons (when I was trying for groundhogs) yes ug. (it was much too big)

11:00 am

Dorens

what are you trying to catch?

11:00 am

Judi

Dorens - I am trying to catch my missing cat. That raccoon barely fit in the trap. An it shredded the plastic cups that were filled with food and water.

11:01 am

Dorens

oh. sorry about the cat judi? why are you trying to catch it, don't you think it wants to come home?

11:01 am

Dorens

i have a cat who often disappears in august.. once for nearly a month!! was so surprised when she finally showed up, and also happy! Good luck

11:02 am

Judi

She disappeared 11 days ago. I fear that she was taken by an animal, but I have to try.

11:02 am

Dorens

i understand your concern, but I would assume that when and if she is ready, she will show up at your door, don't think you need to trap her. unless you think she doesn't want to come home?

11:03 am

Shirlockc

sorry to hear judi, hope things work out

11:03 am

Judi

If she's still out there, I'm sure she wants to come home. She is only a year old and not used to being outside.

11:03 am

Dorens

am sending message to the cat that she should go home to you!!

11:03 am

MollyL

*Sending a message with Dorens*

11:04 am

Judi

Thanks. I'll take all the help I can get.

11:04 am

rururocks

puddy esp.. who knew?

11:05 am

Dorens

i was all set to replace lucy, was thinking of going to see rescue kittens when she came home and i had really not expected that, so don't give up hope.

11:05 am

Dorens

ru, is your icon in honor of the petition?

11:06 am

rururocks

the petition? uh.?

11:06 am

rururocks

what petition?

11:06 am

Judi

I thought all this time that Bert and Ernie were just roommates. My innocense is shattered.

11:06 am

MollyL

Kittylepathy

11:06 am

rururocks

lol molly

11:07 am

Dorens

oh.. there is a petition going around trying to get sesame st to have bert and ernie marry! (now that it is legal in nyc for gay marriage)/ Sesame st has issued a statement that they are PUPPETS.. and therefore have no sexual orientation.

11:07 am

MollyL

I will NOT sign that petition. Ernie and Bert are NOT gay.

11:07 am

rururocks

oh..didn't know that

11:07 am

Judi

Good for Sesame Street. Some whack jobs will do anything for attention.

11:08 am

rururocks

in that case I'm in favor of them marrying..it's about time

11:08 am

Dorens

it had never occurred to me that they were gay. maybe something wrong with me

11:08 am

crosshair

it still amazes me how the states make such a issue out of same sex couples..i mean good grief,dragging bert and ernie into the fray?

11:08 am

MollyL

I think it would send an incorrect message to children to assume that all single sex roommates are gay.

11:09 am

Judi

Probably because we were kids when we watched it and didn't even know about such complicated things as same-sex partners.

11:09 am

Dorens

same here molly!! i mean.. aren't they kind of patterned after felix and oscar? I

11:09 am

ChampFit

crossy...saw a bouquet made of bacon the other day...it was beautiful!

11:09 am

MollyL

That is exactly who they were patterned after Dorens.

11:10 am

rururocks

if ms piggy was hitting on me I'd probably be gay too

11:10 am

Judi

*snort*

11:10 am

Dorens

nope judi -- i must be older than you. i knew well enough about homosexuality when sesame street was first aired..

11:10 am

Dorens

and ms piggy would certainly hit on ruru!

11:10 am

rururocks

LOLOL

11:11 am

MollyL

If Sesame Street wants to introduce a gay couple, I think they will do it from scratch, not turn established characters into something they were never meant to be. I'm still not over the whole "Dumbledore is gay" thing.

11:11 am

Judi

Yeah, ruru. You're total pig bait. ;-p

11:12 am

suefrad625

may I have a stat for a 7 for nbt & nbs so I can get to working

11:12 am

Vicuna

With miss Piggy it's a fine line between hitting *on* and just plain hitting.

11:13 am

Vicuna

Dumbledore was always gay; it just wasn't relevant to the story.

11:13 am

crosshair

down there you can marry your first cousin in 30 odd states,but heaven help a same sex couple who wish to wed and fill out govt paperwork and raise a family like anyone else..i am sure the earth shall split in two at the least lol

11:13 am

Dorens

i don't know if legalizing gay marriage ap***** to muppets

11:13 am

NonnieLight

speaking of cats...ours made a cross-country trip with us and was NOT happy. When we got to our destination she disappeared for nearly a week. My daughter was so upset because this was her cat. We'd go out every day hunting for "Cat" short for Catherine. One morning she was in tears and asking if there wasn't anything else we could do. Helpless, I told her there are times we must do everything we know of and then we may just have to turn it over to God. So in the quiet of the backyard we bowed our heads and said a little prayer. Moments later, no lie, we heard her cat off in a distance meowing!

11:15 am

Judi

Excellent timing, Nonnie! Bet your daughter was blown away.

11:15 am

rururocks

muppets is almost an anogram of strumpets doren

11:15 am

Dorens

---how your mind works, ruru

11:15 am

Dorens

ms piggy is a strumpet

11:15 am

NonnieLight

Indeed, we both were. :o) I hope your cat returns home safely.

11:16 am

rururocks

I see a lot of strumpets in SF

11:16 am

Judi

I have to go out and get a new cell phone today. I really can't justify getting an IPhone... but, I reeeeeeeeeeeallllyyy want one.

11:16 am

MollyL

I disagree Vicuna. It was never written into the stories that Dumbledore was gay. It was something Rowling just threw out after she had written them. If it was important to his character, why not include it as part of what she wrote?

11:16 am

Dorens

i'm tempted too judi

11:16 am

rururocks

go for it judi..

11:16 am

NonnieLight

Go for it, Judi. I'm hoping my current phone will die so I can get an iphone.

11:17 am

Judi

Ahhhhgh! Enablers!

11:17 am

Dorens

ambiguity sometimes helps a storyline

11:17 am

rururocks

that would be a little risky for the plot having a gay headmaster

11:17 am

MollyL

<--- Still has ordinary, non apps cell phone and likes it that way.

11:17 am

Judi

Phffth. My last phone died well before the two-years was up. I ended up having to go back to using my 5 year old Motorola Razr. Still works like a charm.

11:17 am

rururocks

<----app less

11:18 am

MollyL

Maybe it's because I'm a writer. I find it cheap to "say" something about a character that you didn't include in what you wrote.

11:18 am

Dorens

<-----having lots of fun with apps on my android

11:18 am

Judi

Waaaaaaaant aaaaaaaps.

11:18 am

MollyL

<--- Doesn't play with her phone. Actually uses it for phone calls.

11:19 am

wildcat17

hello

11:19 am

NonnieLight

hello wild

11:19 am

Vicuna

Rowling said it was always part of her knowledge of him. I'm a writer, too! And a writer doesn't tell the readers every single thing about a character. There's lots we don't know about lots of characters. And it's not like gay people are only about being gay. They are fully multidimensional and there's no reason whatsoever that the sexual orientation should be part of the story. But as a writer I try to know way more about my characters than i ever actually end up writing.

11:19 am

Dorens

hey wildcat. baby yet?

11:19 am

Vicuna

<---- tries never to use her cell phone for anything at all!

11:19 am

wildcat17

not yet. she graduated yesterday though :)

11:20 am

Dorens

terrific. much better to do that first, don't you think? what is due date?

11:20 am

wildcat17

oh yes. due date is the 30th

11:20 am

Judi

Precisely why I can't justify getting an IPhone. I barely use the phone I have now.

11:21 am

Vicuna

(Anyway, sorry to hop in on an interesting discussion and leave, but I must get lunch on the table. So, hi and bye, all!)

11:21 am

NonnieLight

lol vic--I hear you there. My daughters get so angry with me because I don't even know where mine is at times. BUT I still want an iphone. Isn't that silly? :o)

11:21 am

Dorens

ahah! then sorry for asking... will try to remember to wait until sept before asking. @judy... i assure you if you get one you will use it far more!

11:21 am

Dorens

bye vi, nice to see you

11:21 am

MollyL

My characters only exist because I created them. I would feel like I was gypping my readers (which is how I feel about Rowling) should I "say" something about a character that I did not include in what they read. Just my take on it.

11:22 am

wildcat17

don't be sorry. it still could be any time now. We're kind of hoping for next week. It would definitely work out better for me school-wise

11:22 am

MollyL

It would be like telling the entire, devoted for years, Tolkein fans that Gandalf was gay.

11:23 am

Judi

I think Rowling only said that about Dumbledor for publicity purposes. That way, readers will go back and sift through every book looking for clues as to the grand wizard's orientation. Agree that something like that was totally irrelevant to the series.

11:23 am

JBV

hi folks, doren, beautiful baby picture!!

11:23 am

MollyL

I totally agree Judi.

11:23 am

JBV

hi folks, doren, beautiful baby picture!!

11:23 am

Dorens

ah that is true lisa, would be better. i just remember being late with one of my kids and so anxious, and so annoyed when folks asked all the time (however it was meant)

11:23 am

11:25 am

JBV

me too, shall we tell our phone story???? (reading back and LOL about I-phones)

11:25 am

wildcat17

bye doren

11:25 am

11:25 am

NonnieLight

11:27 am

JBV

phone is now in charger, and I'm on my way to meet doren with her number neatly printed on a piece of paper and my phone at HOME!

11:28 am

Brilliant, JBV!

11:34 am

rururocks

my sales reps call me instead of 411 for their account's phone numbers

11:35 am

rururocks

I should start charging for the calls...lol

11:35 am

MollyL

I can remember the first one, because it was the first phone number I learned (rote memory). Other numbers elude me. And I am old enough that my first phone number started with letters. : O

11:35 am

NonnieLight

lol ru

11:35 am

crosshair

i will give you a fast phone story :1968 we had a party line phone with 3 other familys but were modern otherwise as we had one of the new regular numbers and not something like Ea5256. but each of the 3 families had a different ring so you did not pick up on anothers call. well one christmas we made the call to the uk to with my grammy a happy chrstmas..first you dialed the overseas operator that was a 011 prefex,then the country code number,then the home number.the operator came online and verified your number then you would hang up and wait for her to call back telling you that she had your party(that could take up to 15 min)now she calls back and you are told to go ahead(this was using the inter-continental undersea trans-oceanic cable and it had a 7 second delay! so you would say "hi grammy!" then count out 7 full seconds till you heard her answer.was so amazingly expensive we were limited to exactly 5 min and had all our questions written out beforehand..lol..now we can grab our cell and call dubai in 10 seconds.easy? yes,but something that was talked about for weeks and an actual event is gone:)

11:35 am

NonnieLight

ours did too molly and we had party lines when growing up.

11:39 am

crosshair

crossy loves skype:)

11:39 am

NonnieLight

Oh crossy, that brings back fond memories...while on Okinawa in the early 60s, I got to talk to my grandma once. We had to say "over" after every comment or question.

11:40 am

crosshair

lol! nonnie,we used to do that at the cottage,everyone had no phones but single side bands or ham radios and we used to have to say over or clear when done

11:41 am

I remember talking to my boyfriend when he called once from Vietnam (1968) - very unsatisfactory phone call for that reason - delay

Soodle

Hello everybody :-)

3:53 pm

MollyL

Oh you're right on time. I'm making pork roast and Colcannon.

3:54 pm

onyx

Hello i just guessed an 8 letter word

3:54 pm

Soodle

Oh, Yum, Moll. I love colcannon AND roast pork.

3:54 pm

MollyL

Good for you onyx!

3:54 pm

Soodle

Yay for onyx!

3:54 pm

onyx

Hey Molly, Germantown? I went to U of MD

3:55 pm

MollyL

Good school. One of my sons is a graduate.

3:55 pm

onyx

Yeah. Kinda hope mine might want to go there.

3:56 pm

Soodle

<----- Would love to be joining Moll for dinner tonight. Would take a bumper bottle of Tullamore Dew, and kiss my liver goodbye!

3:57 pm

onyx

I would like that too , bring a bottle of apricot wine

3:58 pm

Soodle

Hmm. Never had apricot wine, but would be more than willing to sample it! :-)

3:58 pm

onyx

had a sip of it the other night. not to sweet an aperitif

4:00 pm

Soodle

If its got alcohol in it, and it is in liquid form, you may be sure Soodle will like it.

4:01 pm

MollyL

*Raises a shot of Tullamore in Soodle and Onyx's direction*

4:02 pm

onyx

i love wine, but unfortunately i get allergies to it, don't know if it is the alcohol or the grapes or the fermentation. no fun though

4:02 pm

onyx

Tullamore? Irish whiskey?

4:03 pm

MollyL

First raise, as usual, went to the kids and the ancestors. Slainte!

4:06 pm

MollyL

Yes, Irish whiskey. Originally distilled by Daniel E. Williams, hence the name (initials) DEW.

4:06 pm

Soodle

LOL. Onyx...... Molly and I are awaiting a significant lottery win. When it happens (as it surely will), we are going to get together.... here in Ireland. Molly is going to be my guest of honour! (Now all we are waiting for is the lottery win....)

4:07 pm

MollyL

I am grateful in advance for my abundance, Amen.

4:07 pm

onyx

I am off to the movies

4:08 pm

Soodle

Enjoy, Onyx!

4:09 pm

Soodle

Molly - what do you put in your colcannon?

4:10 pm

MollyL

Sweet onions, cabbage, salt, pepper, butter and 1/2 and 1/2.

4:10 pm

Soodle

Om nom nom....... Perfect!

4:11 pm

MollyL

And if I have leftover, which I seldom do, I add some milk and shredded corned beef and make soup.

4:11 pm

Soodle

I always put in a couple of scallions/spring onions as well.... and another bit of butter, or buther, as they say around here :-)

4:13 pm

MollyL

Good extra green from the scallions and never too much butter.

4:13 pm

MollyL

<--- Only says buther when she's had too much Irish.

4:18 pm

Soodle

Buther is bether!

4:19 pm

Soodle

What time is dinner going to be ready, Molls? (I'd really love a roast pork dinner right now)

4:21 pm

MollyL

Another 15 minutes on the tenderloin and it should be all set. The aromatic smell of onion, celery leaves and sage fills the air. Ah!

4:23 pm

Soodle

< attempting to return tongue to its rightful place in my mouth........

4:23 pm

MollyL

Dinner is always before six in our house. I have never figured out people who eat at 8 or 9. That's just too late for us.

4:25 pm

Soodle

LOL Molls, its 10.25 PM here. Far too late for dinner (but I'm still on my diet, so feeling really deprived that I don't have a roast dinner to tuck iino

4:25 pm

Soodle

LOL Molls, its 10.25 PM here. Far too late for dinner (but I'm still on my diet, so feeling really deprived that I don't have a roast dinner to tuck iino

4:25 pm

Soodle

Erm 'into'..

4:25 pm

MollyL

Good for you for sticking to your diet.

4:26 pm

Soodle

Blah! Diets suck! I reckon that by not joining you in the roast pork dinner, I should automatically lose the corresponding amount of weight!

4:28 pm

Soodle

And even more blah... this diet I am currently subjecting myself to is an alcohol-free diet. I think I wanna be fat....

4:28 pm

redturtlehead

Hey all. I am back on a diet of sorts, but really, for dinner is asparagus, salmon, mushrooms, some nice bread and a curry type sauce. i dont feel too deprived yet...

4:29 pm

Soodle

Ooooh Red. That sounds lovely. Beats the hell out of my crisp-bread and cucumber offering this evening.

4:30 pm

redturtlehead

I do like cucumber.

4:31 pm

Soodle

In small doses, cucumber is grand. As a staple for the last 3 weeks, it is rapidly losing its appeal... :-(

4:34 pm

redturtlehead

soodle, you need a different diet.

4:34 pm

Soodle

But.. on the plus side, I have lost 17 pounds in the last 3 weeks. My trousers almost fell off me today at the recycling centre. I wasnt sure if I was horrified or delighted!

4:34 pm

MollyL

Good for you Soodle. Although I agree, you need a different diet.

4:34 pm

redturtlehead

well my pantsremain in place....lol.

4:35 pm

MollyL

Soodle, you are taking a vitamin or something along with that bread and water diet, aren't you?

4:36 pm

Soodle

Molly - I am almost OD-ing on cod-liver-oil, calcium, and multi-vitamins.

4:38 pm

MollyL

Okay, let's see...the "mail" will move, the bones will not get brittle and the rest of the body gets nutrients. All good.

4:38 pm

Soodle

But, thanks very much for asking, Molly. (((()))))

4:38 pm

MollyL

We don't want you wasting away lass.

4:38 pm

redturtlehead

drink some skimmed milk, its low cal and packed with stuff...

4:39 pm

Soodle

Molly - I am salivating at the thought of your dinner....... Sheesh...

4:40 pm

redturtlehead

oh me too, though the salmon is quite satisfying.

4:40 pm

Soodle

Good grief. Theres a whole lot of Soodle! Not much hope of her wasting away!

4:40 pm

Shirlockc

4:40 pm

4:48 pm

Soodle

Lordy, Lordy, Lordy. You diet to the point of starvation (not) and then Molly makes up a song about you. Sheesh

4:48 pm

jmcnrick

*puts brownies in purse*

4:49 pm

MollyL

Makes up a song? *Keels over that Soodle has never played London Bridge*

4:55 pm

Soodle

Hello M

4:55 pm

Soodle

Hello Annie.. Its unusual to see you this time of day.

4:55 pm

MollyL

Thank you Red. Annie, I am, vicariously. Our Soodle is on a diet.

4:56 pm

Anniebrook

Hi Soodle, I am usually on in the morning but I'm trying to finish this monster

4:56 pm

Soodle

Gaunt, haggard and starving Soodle makes a guest appearance..........

4:57 pm

Anniebrook

Quick, Molly, feed her!

4:57 pm

Soodle

Sorry - Given the situation in Africa, that was not funny.

4:58 pm

redturtlehead

4:59 pm

Soodle

Now that I've made everybody uncomfortable..... I will try to restore some Babble banter.... So! How is everybody?

4:59 pm

sciencegeek

hi and bye!

4:59 pm

Oops, 63 T words.

Soodle, You have not made me uncomfortable. I know you were joshing and meant no harm.

have not gone to babgble expert yet, but it is all messed up. the grid is very, very small including the letters and lots of blue around the sides. don't know how that happened. anyone else have that problem. Snags was on the other day and she ws having the same issue

6:05 pm

periwinkle

it is very hard to finish the grid when I have trouble seeing it

6:05 pm

bookwomen

There are a lot of new words to me in this grid tonight.

6:05 pm

MollyL

Have you asked Dr. God about that?

6:06 pm

periwinkle

no, because the original babble which I am playing now is just fine. and babble expert was fine too until a few days ago. I thought it had to do with the resolution on the compute4r but nothing else seems to be have bee affected

6:07 pm

periwinkle

babble expert comes from lickety tho not dr god

6:07 pm

MollyL

I've been reading your comments about your problem with it, but have no clue how you would fix it. I think Lickety would be your go to guy then.

6:08 pm

periwinkle

I will ask lickety to send me babble expert again but he and mrp are gong thru lots of stuff now

6:08 pm

periwinkle

in the meantime I have 136 words to find

6:09 pm

and I never got my tim tams :(

6:09 pm

sammysmom

ap 6/21 ??

6:10 pm

MollyL

Lickety seems to be posting the clues every day, so I would imagine he keeps up with his email. Couldn't hurt to ask. Did you see what I posted about how you can order Tim Tams from Amazon?

6:10 pm

MollyL

ap6/21...sleep disorder with an extra vowel in the middle

6:10 pm

nope. wll check that out. when I googled them it said you could buy them at Target but I did not see any and the staff had no idea

6:11 pm

6:11 pm

My experience with international mail is that it comes very late, or not at all. Sometimes it never makes it through customs. Especially food.

Peri, any chance the package was left at your door and taken by someone?

6:15 pm

periwinkle

we get a lot of packages and they are left between the door and screen door. and someone is usually here when a package comes.

6:16 pm

MollyL

Well, the only other things I can think of are that it was not properly addressed or it got stuck at customs. And if it wasn't sent registered mail, there is no way to trace it. Shame.

6:17 pm

periwinkle

it was sent air mail

6:22 pm

7:14 pm

Dorens

but babble with us is fun stuff, isn't it? with or without imbibing

7:14 pm

jesdraggon

it's true. would be a bad bad thing for me to have to drive out to a farm call all tipsy.

7:14 pm

jesdraggon

so, water it is...

7:14 pm

jesdraggon

all weekend long, every other weekend. *dramatic sigh*

7:15 pm

Dorens

well i gulped up that omelet too quickly, so now am rationing out my little baby bottle (can never remember the proper name, but to me they are baby bottles)

7:15 pm

MollyL

Jes I didn't know you did farm animal work too. That is the heavy duty vet work.

7:15 pm

Uneaixoise

so you're specifically on call for farm emergencies?

7:15 pm

Dorens

oh jes, i do feel for you

7:15 pm

jesdraggon

on call for any/all emergencies, une

7:15 pm

jesdraggon

7:16 pm

jesdraggon

7:17 pm

Uneaixoise

doren, yesterday i had a bowl of my veggie chili that was TASTY -- garlic, tomatoes, onions, baby italian eggplant, variety of beans, sherry, 3 different sweet peppers and a hot pepper, zucchini, etc. -- yummy if I do say so myself LOL

7:17 pm

jesdraggon

lions, tigers, bears, cougars...

7:17 pm

MollyL

Split? Demi? Fillette?

7:18 pm

MollyL

You must have some great stories Jes.

7:18 pm

Uneaixoise

our very own James Herriot!

7:19 pm

jesdraggon

heh. one of my friends dubbed me the "anti-james-herriot" because most of my stories involve crazy people doing bizarre or frustrating things, molly

7:19 pm

Dorens

i just picked up more eggplant from the farmer's market today, because it was just soo good last week. and heirloom tomatoes. but i'm going to virginia on monday morning, so this was maybe kind of silly

7:19 pm

Uneaixoise

heirloom tomatoes and eggplant -- soooo good!

7:20 pm

Dorens

one reason i could see living in CA... being able to eat like this all year long

7:20 pm

MollyL

Oh Jes, I'm sure the people are a lot stranger than the animals.

7:20 pm

Uneaixoise

exactly . . . amazing produce . .

7:20 pm

Dorens

une do you have a recipe for that veg chili?

7:20 pm

Dorens

i would trade you the red rooster cornbread recipe. soooo tasty

7:21 pm

Uneaixoise

I just keep tossing in whatever's on hand . . . plus odds and ends from my Whole Foods pickup -- sometimes a single pepper or single zucchini, etc.

7:22 pm

Uneaixoise

and a couple of badly dented cans of beans that the soup kitchen can't use LOL

7:22 pm

jesdraggon

the soup kitchen won't take dented cans?

7:24 pm

Dorens

holy guacamole!

7:24 pm

MollyL

What about the single peppers? Hmm?

7:24 pm

Uneaixoise

(small school -- 50 students -- very low income)

7:24 pm

Uneaixoise

oohh the single peppers are muy picante!!

7:24 pm

Dorens

Hi jes. When my wife was pregnant with our first child we were visiting friends with a dairy farm. One of the cows calved that night and the farmer said we had to come out to the barn so Lynn could see what she was looking forward to.

7:25 pm

Uneaixoise

jes, organizations are funny about dented cans and I don't want them to take them and then end up not using them

7:25 pm

MollyL

I hear the habanaros are harlots. : P

7:25 pm

Uneaixoise

wht LOL!!

7:25 pm

jesdraggon

so comforting, isn't it, wht?

7:26 pm

jesdraggon

all tidy and quick and easy! :)

7:26 pm

wht

Well, all that came out at first was a single leg, so the farmer grabbed it and pushed it back in. My wife just about died.

7:26 pm

Dorens

i am still hungry

7:26 pm

Dorens

should cut up some heirloom tomatoes and smear them with the pesto i made earlier, right? better than cooking pasta

7:26 pm

MollyL

All I can say is that once you have gone through labor and delivery, you don't flinch seeing a cow with a vet's arm where an arm doesn't usually go.

7:26 pm

wht

He had his arm in up to the shoulder trying to get the calf turned around right.

7:27 pm

Uneaixoise

There's a large family that a friend of mine works with -- 6 kids, low income -- THEY take all the dented cans I'm willing to pass along!

7:27 pm

Dorens

oooooh wht

7:27 pm

Uneaixoise

eeeewwww

7:27 pm

Dorens

i have lots of families from my schools who wouldn't be picky AT all

7:27 pm

jesdraggon

gotta have 2 legs. doesn't work well with only one.

7:27 pm

wht

But what got her most was after the calf was born, he wrapped chains around the legs and dragged it around for the mother to lick off.

7:28 pm

MollyL

The story goes, I presented breach and it took two doctors to turn me around. Pity my dear Ma.

7:28 pm

jesdraggon

didn't have chains on it to pull it?

7:28 pm

Uneaixoise

Dorens, it's amazing what WF gives me that I can pass along to the school for the kids to take home -- a week ago they gave me 3 cases of organic multi-purpose cleaning spray!

7:28 pm

wht

He might have used the chains to pull the calf out as well. I don't really remember.

7:28 pm

jesdraggon

no c-section, molly?

7:29 pm

jesdraggon

much easier that way, wht. otherwise you've gotta have your hands inside, and holding on4 slick, slimy legs

7:29 pm

MollyL

Not back in those days, in a military hospital. Oh, the cord was wrapped around my neck to. I'm a walking talking miracle. : D

7:29 pm

wht

Lynn thought the treatment was a little rough and the farmer said, in a couple of weeks it will be veal cutlets.

7:29 pm

Uneaixoise

good lord, molly!!

7:30 pm

MollyL

This is why I believe in Guardian Angels.
