picky, picky, lol!

2:36 am

dcseain

well, we have the joy of living in the age of 'standardized' spelling: stetl, shtetl, schtetl LOL

2:36 am

dcseain

huh. that re6.21 is weird to me

2:38 am

dcseain

wow, LastFM has been all about the flamenco and fado for me tonight.

2:38 am

rubyfoo

good morning everybody

2:38 am

rbud

2:38 am

Jellen

Hi, ruby

2:38 am

rubyfoo

2:38 am

dcseain

morning, ruby

2:39 am

rbud

howdy, ruby! :)

2:39 am

dcseain

webster's says it's to reload with a fresh supply of burnable carbon bits

2:40 am

rbud

well, it would have to be, wouldn't it. must be archaic

2:40 am

rbud

maybe train related

2:41 am

rubyfoo

I think i'M TOO YOUNG FOR THIS CHOG! LOL

2:41 am

rubyfoo

whoops, didn't mean to shout

2:42 am

rubyfoo

today is a holiday here, annunciation day or something, pretty funny in a country where almost nobody goes to church. Even our little village church closed

2:42 am

dcseain

i lived in a house that had fireplaces that were run with co4 originally. it took me weeks to learn to build a wood fire in those shallow boxes that was hot enough soon enough to get the smoke up the flue. Wood smokes much more than co4

2:43 am

dcseain

don't be silly ruby, and enjoy whatever holiday you can get :)

2:43 am

dcseain

wow, now it's playing Charo for me LOL

2:43 am

rubyfoo

for me, it just means no mail, no paper, no trash pickup

2:44 am

dcseain

no paper even! wow

2:44 am

rubyfoo

this is such a strange country!

2:44 am

Jellen

Wow...Charo!

2:44 am

rubyfoo

cola

2:45 am

rubyfoo

another whooops, sorry

2:45 am

dcseain

and it's a new release from her

2:45 am

rubyfoo

I am amazed she's still around....

2:45 am

dcseain

*passes ruby a Pepsi Throwback*

2:46 am

Jellen

Did not know she was still recording...

2:46 am

rubyfoo

what's a Pepsi throwback?

2:46 am

dcseain

it's a Spanish-language album, so i can see why not on radar here

2:46 am

dcseain

it's pepsi with sugar instead of corn syrup :)

2:49 am

dcseain

they introduced it as a special think, then it sold so well they kept producing it. The brought back Mountain Dew Heritage -- same concept -- permanently too.

2:49 am

rubyfoo

does it really taste different?

2:50 am

dcseain

yes.

2:51 am

dcseain

even if it did not, many, many of us work to minimize our corn syrup and HFCS intakes.

2:51 am

rubyfoo

I didn't know that corn syrup was bad

2:52 am

dcseain

it's in everything only because the US Gov subsidizes corn production.

2:52 am

dcseain

too much of anything is bad, and corn syrup is hard to escape.

2:57 am

rubyfoo

and clues for the i's, please?

2:58 am

rubyfoo

any*

2:58 am

dcseain

in4 please, plural

2:58 am

marigold

2:58 am

marigold

ir5 gerund from bottom

2:58 am

dcseain

hi, marigold

2:59 am

rubyfoo

ty seain

2:59 am

rubyfoo

hi marigold

2:59 am

Aaronitor

Have you got any clues for the sc8,75 please

2:59 am

marigold

hi everyone

3:00 am

dcseain

aaron, it's a gerund of the sc5 that holds things together.

3:04 am

Jivingjenny0

can you clue the sc5 please

3:04 am

dcseain

i have a sc5 loose in my head :)

3:04 am

dcseain

and my granny has some sc5s holding her ankle together

3:05 am

rubyfoo

3:05 am

rubyfoo

that gave me a whole bunch of words, ty

3:06 am

dcseain

the sc5s have been in her ankle for a long time, ruby :)

3:06 am

rubyfoo

and the ones in my head are probably loose, too

3:07 am

dcseain

why are th5 so many jobs everywh5 i'm not.

3:07 am

dcseain

one nice bit of sleeplessness is the reminder of how much i like the crew that's in the chog overnight my time. I started playing babble when i was working nights.

3:08 am

rubyfoo

uh oh, seain can join me in the PB for a coffee

3:08 am

dcseain

well, th5's the sc ;)

3:08 am

Aaronitor

any pi8,60 clues please

3:09 am

rubyfoo

hahah seain

3:09 am

dcseain

pi5 your ear, you have a pi7, pi5 them both, you have pi8

3:10 am

dcseain

you pi5 them to wear ea7, usually

3:11 am

Aaronitor

any easier clues please

3:12 am

dcseain

if you puncture something, you pi5 it. Puncturing it you are pi7 it. If you have multiple punctures, you have multiple pi8

3:13 am

dcseain

oops, pi6,7,8

3:13 am

dcseain

pi5 of pie

3:13 am

dcseain

pi6 has a consonant in that

3:13 am

dcseain

then the 7 and 8

3:14 am

dcseain

sorry, i miscounted at first :/

3:17 am

dcseain

ruby, have you heard over there that USPS wants to kut 120k jobs?

3:17 am

Aaronitor

have you got the other pe8,60 clues?

3:18 am

rubyfoo

that is horrible, seain

3:18 am

rubyfoo

I guess people no longer send snail mail, just e-mail

3:18 am

dcseain

pi5 of pie, pi5 a quilt. Make gerund for 7 and plural for 8

3:19 am

dcseain

i send one or two pieces of mail a year, and receive 1 or 2 pieces a week.

3:19 am

rubyfoo

I still get real mail because my sister in NY refuses to get a computer

3:19 am

dcseain

i think i'm typical for much of the under-60 crowd, if toward the low end of usage

3:20 am

rubyfoo

she used to send me books in m-bags, but they discontinued the service

3:20 am

rubyfoo

mailing books costs as much as the books themselves, now, in either direction

3:21 am

dcseain

domestically, we can still send Media Rate, which is a bit cheaper, but UPS and FedEx are sometimes cheaper

3:22 am

rubyfoo

with m-bags, she could send me 8 or 9 books for less than $10

3:22 am

rubyfoo

they used old canvas postal sacks

3:22 am

dcseain

wow!

3:22 am

rubyfoo

she sent 100's of books that way

3:22 am

dcseain

i have a couple of those sacks, one from USPS and one from Deutsche Bunespost

3:23 am

dcseain

er, Bundespost

3:23 am

rubyfoo

it took a long time (like 2 months) but it was wonderful for me

3:23 am

dcseain

worth the wait :) I do like books.

3:23 am

dcseain

there are 5 shelves in this room, and at least that many more still in boxes that i need shelves for.

3:23 am

dcseain

most of them hardbound 1st editions.

3:24 am

Aaronitor

sorry can u make those pi8,60 clues a bit easier

3:24 am

dcseain

do you have the pi5 of pie?

3:24 am

dcseain

or, pi5 of cake or pizza, if you'd rather? :)

3:25 am

rubyfoo

sister's husband is a literary critic and th***fore, she had tons of books to send and give away.

3:25 am

dcseain

nice, ruby :)

3:25 am

rubyfoo

sometimes she just puts them out on the sidewalk in a box and say "take one"

3:25 am

rubyfoo

says*

3:26 am

dcseain

in Baltimore, Maryland is a place called Bookthing. Take what you want, leave what you don't. All for free.

3:26 am

rubyfoo

how I would love that! I give away books whenever I find somebody he** who reads English

3:28 am

dcseain

hm. aaron, which pi8 are you seeking?

3:28 am

dcseain

one is pi7 together a puzzle, plural for 8.

3:29 am

dcseain

other is pi7 an ear, plural for *

3:29 am

dcseain

er, plural for 8

3:30 am

rubyfoo

3:32 am

Jellen

I was contemplating sleep, but it is elusive...

3:32 am

dcseain

yes, sleep's been elusive for the last week for me. :/ may you rest well and soon, jellen

3:32 am

rubyfoo

sometimes, to put myself to sleep, I think up bingos

3:33 am

rubyfoo

how dull is that?

3:33 am

dcseain

aaron, happy to help.

3:33 am

dcseain

if it works, it's all good, ruby

3:33 am

Jellen

I had an ep 4/6 sleep last night...

3:33 am

rubyfoo

3:34 am

Jellen

Over 12 hours!

3:34 am

negativeneil

3:34 am

dcseain

3:34 am

rubyfoo

3:34 am

dcseain

indeed. You're back home, neil?

3:35 am

rubyfoo

hi neil, I've never seen you before

3:35 am

negativeneil

No. Not until the end of the month. Just back in California for a job... near San Fran, though. Off to NV next.

3:35 am

negativeneil

oh well. You haven't missed much.

3:35 am

dcseain

at least it's a reasonable late hour in your time zone.

3:36 am

dcseain

he's entertaining and charming, ruby

3:36 am

rubyfoo

I can tell by his icon

3:37 am

rubyfoo

I had better start lunch, see you later

3:37 am

rubyfoo

Jellen

3:37 am

dcseain

rubyfoo

3:38 am

negativeneil

3:38 am

Jellen

I'm caving in and getting a snack...brb

3:38 am

dcseain

ah, yes, knew that already, and much of O's is due to GB II's wars.

3:39 am

dcseain

c you soon, jellen

3:39 am

negativeneil

Yes, exactly.

3:41 am

dcseain

3:42 am

negativeneil

Have you really? Where are you going to post that?

3:43 am

dcseain

tomorrow afternoon Eastern.

3:45 am

Jellen

I did not know the statistics, but they don't surprise me...

3:45 am

negativeneil

The question I asked was where, not when.

3:45 am

negativeneil

I know it's late. Surprised you're still up.

3:46 am

dcseain

well, by the clock, sometime in the next 14 hours. Oh, i'll post to my LJ, FB, and G+ with it. May even deign to make a Blogger post, if i remember.

3:46 am

dcseain

i've been weirdly sleepless last week roughly.

3:46 am

negativeneil

I see.

3:46 am

negativeneil

I look forward to reading that.

3:47 am

dcseain

i've been working on sourcing some items.

3:47 am

dcseain

refuting is good, but supported refutal is better.

3:48 am

negativeneil

Ugh. I need my sleep... Ambien helps sometimes. I'm fine when I'm at home in my own place, but on the road it's often hard to settle and sleep, in different rooms and beds all the time. That's when I sometimes need to take something, or I just won't settle and sleep.

3:49 am

dcseain

and i've been receiving emails from the VA 10th District Republicans, which has been interesting, not least since i live in the 8th.

3:49 am

negativeneil

Naturally. Always support a refutal.

3:49 am

dcseain

well, may you sleep soon and well.

3:49 am

negativeneil

Ummm, why? How is it they're contacting you?

3:51 am

dcseain

via email. I lived in the 10th back in 2001-2003. I think a friend who is a very, very active republican may have supplied it, as most of the people we know in common live in the 10th. Never mind that my region of VA is split between the 8th, 10, and 11th.

3:51 am

negativeneil

Fortunately I have a couple more days off now, until Wed. in Las Vegas. Some of tomorrow will be spent travelling there.

3:51 am

dcseain

not often, just a few emails.

3:51 am

negativeneil

Yes, I'm just wondering how they have come to know and contact you?

3:51 am

dcseain

i used to visit there often, though rarely spent any time on the strip. So i know the city well, but the strip hardly at all.

3:52 am

negativeneil

A friend who's an active one? Ugh.

3:52 am

dcseain

dunno, it's not bothersome, and i don't ask to be removed.

3:52 am

negativeneil

My father is too... you can imagine the arguments/heated debates we get into.

3:52 am

dcseain

i have more than one friend who sees the world that way. Happily, we agree to disagree. Yes, yes i can :)

3:53 am

negativeneil

Of course. That's pretty much what we do. Hey, I'll support anyone's right to vote whichever way they want... as long as they make an informed decision, more power to them. I appreciate having the same right.

3:54 am

dcseain

my mom and i have that issue too. She's calmed down a LOTsince beck's been off the air.

3:54 am

dcseain

agreed :)

3:54 am

negativeneil

Oh, yeah. I bet!

3:55 am

negativeneil

Well, I think I can probably fall asleep now... so I really should give that a try.

3:56 am

negativeneil

I recommend you try that too. ;)

3:56 am

Jellen

I hope you rest well, neil...

3:56 am

negativeneil

Thanks, Jellen. You too!

3:56 am

negativeneil

Good night, you two.

3:57 am

dcseain

yes, at minimum i ought go change sheets. Wow it's nearly 5! Yes, i shall go see about sleeping too.

3:57 am

dcseain

so, g'night jellen, may sleep find you soon, too!

3:58 am

Jellen

G'night dc...

5:00 am

sprite

good afternoon all

5:34 am

rubyfoo

hello again

5:34 am

sprite

hey rubyfoo

5:34 am

rubyfoo

{{sprite}}??

5:35 am

sprite

yes it is sprite... why the question marks?

5:37 am

rubyfoo

if you were still here....I figured you might have finished in the 1/2 hour

5:38 am

sprite

lol for a moment I thought I looked so bad you didn't recognise me

5:38 am

rubyfoo

are you OK? Why do you look bad?

5:39 am

sprite

oh just bad nights and a lot of pain, same old same old. How are you and how is hubby?

5:40 am

rubyfoo

pain in the morning, but usual meds take care of it

5:41 am

rubyfoo

what do you take for the pain?

5:42 am

sprite

I used to have oxycodone, but didn't want to take that for the rest of my life. Now I have gabapentine, which is rather odd stuff. Works against nerve pain, but also against fear... and epilepsia, lol, which I don't have...

5:43 am

rubyfoo

that is interesting. I just take "dafalgan codeine" which is pretty mild and I combine it with bi-profenid (which is an OTC med in the US)

5:44 am

sprite

ah, I have paracetamol codeine to support the gabanpentine. All the way back from oxycodone to codeine is something I am very happy with.

5:45 am

rubyfoo

I would feel the same. My orthopedist gave me something he said was stronger, but it didn't touch the pain at all

5:45 am

rubyfoo

it is worst when the humidity is very high or if it's cold

5:46 am

Scrabbler

Good day ladies! Sorry to hear about pain issues.

5:46 am

rubyfoo

I've been trying to take walks, but it makes my back worse

5:46 am

rubyfoo

hello scrabs! we just need bunnies.....

5:46 am

sprite

pain is a funny th5. When I used oxycodone, I didn't have too much pain in the hips and back, but the pelvic bone still hurt like hell. Now with the gaba, the pelvic bone is finally quiet for the most part. But the back and hips are giving me hell.

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Well, I have a happy bunny nearby. Her Mama is awake and downstairs.

5:47 am

sprite

heya Scrabs :)
Well you know what they say about pain: if you feel it, you aren't dead... and you can grow old with it.

5:47 am

Scrabbler

Arthritis?

5:48 am

sprite

pelvic girdle issues from pregnancies and birthings.

5:49 am

rubyfoo

my pains are scoliosis-related, reconstructive surgery-related (moved muscles around) and old broken bones

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Yep, a woman's body is never the same after pregnancy + birthing. My mother reminds me often because I was her first of 4 big babies. I was the smallest at 4 kg.

5:49 am

rubyfoo

growing old may be hard but it's a lot better than the alternative!!!!

5:49 am

Scrabbler

Ouch, Ruby.

5:50 am

rubyfoo

I had my son when I was so young that I had no problems afterward -- very lucky

5:50 am

sprite

after my girl was born, I couldn't walk anymore. So I am happy to be able to walk again, even without a stick now, after 13 years.

5:51 am

rubyfoo

wow, sprite, I didn't realize...

5:51 am

rubyfoo

<--gives sprite a big (gentle) hug

5:51 am

Scrabbler

What happened, Sprite? Birth injury?

5:51 am

sprite

why should you? :)
things are much better now. And one gets used to pain. The only real bummer is, it takes up a lot of energy to handle pain.

5:52 am

sprite

yes, birth injury. Something snapped when she came out. It was a bit of a panic birth, she did not breathe.

5:52 am

sprite

thanks for the hug :)

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Yes, I have had 4 episodes of herniated discs causing severe nerve pain, and during those episodes I think about how one deals with chronic pain. It's maddening and exhausting.

5:53 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves sprite

5:53 am

Scrabbler

Gentle group hug. May gratitude overcome suffering.

5:53 am

rubyfoo

for me, it's a question of dividing up activities and resting between (plus meds, of course)

5:54 am

sprite

ouch Scrabs :( That is very painful. Are you without pain now?

5:55 am

sprite

Scrabs, thanks for the hug, and absolutely. I wouldn't trade my girl for a painfree life! Or for anything else in the world. And I am blessed in a zillion ways.

5:55 am

rubyfoo

nerve pain is something else! Only occasionally, I get a nerve pain in my upper spine, but it only lasts about 10 minutes. It's excruciating, however, makes me cry

5:55 am

Scrabbler

I get minor twinges of sciatic pain almost daily, but during those acute episodes--burning, searing, severe nerve pain.

5:56 am

rubyfoo

and to think, I used to dance all night! it's hard to imagine

5:56 am

sprite

also an energy eater, Scrabs. Sorry you have to manage pain like that.

5:56 am

Scrabbler

This grid seems rather painful. It's a toughie isn't it?

5:56 am

rubyfoo

<-- giving another gentle hug, this time to scrabs!

5:56 am

sprite

it appears my pelvic bone pain is nerve pain. Nothing worked for all this time, and now finally with the gaba, it is down to a manageable level.

5:57 am

Scrabbler

I am fine, Sprite. Last flare-up was 3 yrs ago, I think.

5:57 am

sprite

not that bad, Scrabs, the grid I mean. Some good endings will help. And using more than 2 consonants in a row too.

5:58 am

rubyfoo

the only pain I've had like a nerve pain was with broken ribs and, later, with broken sternum, both VERY bad

5:58 am

sprite

I have had broken ribs, and I cannot imagine the pain a broken sternum must cause. Ouch!

5:59 am

Scrabbler

How did you do that damage, ruby?

5:59 am

rubyfoo

and now it's rest time. See you later, ladies. The sternum broke when we had an accident and the airbag was activated -- smushed me like a fly!

5:59 am

sprite

scary. Have a nice rest, rubyfoo :)

5:59 am

rubyfoo

I broke the ribs falling over my first dog

5:59 am

Scrabbler

Sleep well, ruby.

6:00 am

rubyfoo

ty and *poof*

6:00 am

sprite

I broke my first rib coughing, can you imagine? I didn't believe it until the ER doctor confirmed it.

6:00 am

Scrabbler

Violent and frequent coughing, huh?

6:01 am

sprite

yes, had been coughing badly for about a month, and then all of a sudden, snap!

6:02 am

sprite

thought I'd hurt a muscle, but the pain didn't go away, and got worse and worse. Am still baffled coughing can do that. But the doctor said we underestimate the forces that are involved with coughing and sneezing.

6:06 am

Scrabbler

Time to get ready for work. Enjoy the day, Sprite.

6:06 am

sprite

you too, Scrabs, and be well :)

6:12 am

Michelle

oh sprite, broken ribs are so painful. So sorry.

6:13 am

sprite

hi Michelle, it is a long time ago! Rib has mended. How are you today?

6:13 am

Michelle

doing well...off to work after some time off

6:13 am

MollyL

Sprite, I did the same thing the same way. A new and different kind of pain, that is.

6:14 am

sprite

getting back into the routine :)

6:14 am

Michelle

not sure I am ready

6:15 am

sprite

Must be off, have a grand day.

6:16 am

Congrats Sprite, have a nice day.

6:16 am

6:16 am

MollyL

Yep, mine was a while back too.

6:19 am

8:41 am

crosshair

yes,when i get to the last level,i also will slow it down.they seem to pump out a level once every 2 months or so

8:44 am

crosshair

but that will also give me time to move the wonders around and add the accesories appropriate to each and build up a pile of cash

8:46 am

also to expand the grid once or twice

Not normal words at all flosey!!!! Ophthalmology and Arthritis reports!

9:25 am

i have even drafed letters and played babble with it

9:25 am

I figured if I get that program, I can just repeat what the doctor says and not have to type so much.

9:25 am

flosey

ah, not everyday words then

9:25 am

crosshair

you can indeed car

9:26 am

car.eeyore

May I ask Crossy, how much?

9:26 am

crosshair

i used version 10 and it can be had for about 150 dollars now

9:26 am

car.eeyore

Do you have to dictate punctuation?

9:26 am

crosshair

but if you type for a living,i think it is a must have

9:27 am

crosshair

you do dictate punctuations,spacing new paragraphs,indents etc

9:27 am

crosshair

you say exactly what you want

9:28 am

car.eeyore

Does it pick up background talking?

9:28 am

crosshair

you train the new program by reading books to it,it learns your cadence and accent if any

9:28 am

Hi everyone ....

The Sherlock Holmes novel "A Study In Scarlet" has been banned from a Charlottesville, VA. sixth grade reading list, because someone has "suggested" it is derogatory to Mormons. This comment about the news article made me laugh: I just want to know when someone is going to come to the defense of swine. I mean, look how "Animal Farm" has created such discrimination against all pigs!

9:53 am

Norma

can anyone clue the cr7/44 please

9:53 am

rubyfoo

I have a fundamental Christian friend who says Mormons aren't Christians! What? Excuse me?

9:54 am

i said this once before,i will let my son read any classic novel he wishes,i do not care if the language and customs of the time are now offensive to some.this is our history..warts and all

9:56 am

Norma

Hi to

9:57 am

rubyfoo

there are people who want to ban Uncle Tom's Cabin and Huckleberry Finn. That is American history; you can't change it, the teachers just need to be prepared to discuss

9:57 am

flosey

so true crossy, when a book is banned, that's when kids want to get their hands on it

9:57 am

MollyL

I agree Cross. Just because a story in a book says something, doesn't mean kids are going to incorporate it into their moral code. Most of the time, the subject matter in books is a cautionary tale.

9:58 am

crosshair

do we ban all novels with the words darkie,octomaroon,honkey and whitebread when used in that context?? i think not

9:58 am

rubyfoo

I think we are all on the same page in here!

9:58 am

crosshair

i think we are ruby

9:59 am

rubyfoo

I'm afraid to ask: how many words do you have, crossy?

9:59 am

MollyL

Flosey, back in the day, Peyton Place was considered a "sinful book". Teenagers everywhere found a way to get a copy.

9:59 am

crosshair

the books speak to us from the past as they were written,it is a window to a bygone era and i would not change that for the world,nor deprive my son of some wonderful authors

9:59 am

Norma

It is all the Politically Correctness that has got the UK in the mess it is in ..... History is something we should learn by ...

10:00 am

i only have 63 atm ruby dear

10:00 am

flosey

so true, Molly

10:00 am

rubyfoo

does anybody read the New Yorker? There is a wonderful essay by Adam Gopnick about dogs. Definitely worth reading

10:00 am

rubyfoo

no, it's Ruby My Dear an old Thelonius Monk tune

10:01 am

MollyL

I agree Norma. And our kids can't learn from history if we don't let them read about it. In fiction and in text books.

10:01 am

crosshair

btw i friended you on fb ruby tuesday:)

10:01 am

Norma

Some of the Classics are a wonderful lesson on the history of both of our countries and very interesting

10:02 am

rubyfoo

I think fiction is a great window on the world and kids who specialize too early and don't read what they consider to be irrelevant are missing out on a lot

10:02 am

MollyL

Thelonius Monk...a jazz legend.

10:02 am

crosshair

if you sterilize all offensive books,then the children of the future will not learn the correct history as it happened.

10:03 am

I would hang out with jazz musicians and then my father would drive into the city to bring me home!

10:06 am

MollyL

What a wonderful experience for you Ruby. Alas, great musicians like that don't exist anymore.

10:54 am

Uneaixoise

and fiber of course!

10:54 am

cybernan

do you eat them raw in a salad or must they be cooked?

10:55 am

Uneaixoise

usually steamed or sauteed

10:55 am

o-o

Collard greens are a staple vegetable of southern U.S. cuisine. They are often prepared with other similar green leaf vegetables, such as kale, turnip greens, spinach, and mustard greens in "mixed greens". They are generally eaten year-round in the South. Typical seasonings when cooking collards can consist of smoked and salted meats (ham hocks, smoked turkey drumsticks, pork neckbones, fatback or other fatty meat), diced onions, vinegar, salt, and black, white, or crushed red pepper.

10:55 am

Uneaixoise

I've even chopped them up and added them to soups and chili

10:55 am

cybernan

oh -- was going to try them, but I don't care for cooked spinach, so these probably wouldn't appeal either.

10:56 am

cybernan

now that, I would do -- especially the chili

10:56 am

Uneaixoise

well, then you probably wouldn't like it

10:56 am

Uneaixoise

I've chopped up kale and added it to soups and chili too

10:56 am

Judi

MMmmmm. Praise God and pass the collards, y'all!

10:57 am

Uneaixoise

the classic season for cooked greens in the south is bacon or fatback :-)

10:57 am

10:58 am

10:59 am

crosshair

"we just season these greens with a pound or 2 of bacon..." :)

10:59 am

o-o

A mixture of collard greens, chitlins, grits and vegemite works well for filling pot holes

11:00 am

i shall pass on the vegemite

11:00 am

i would rather have scrapple on toast

11:24 am

11:24 am

Ha! They make good bait.

11:25 am

i would love to catch something that can swallow a 15 pound whitefish:) a muskie may have a go at it:))

11:27 am

though saltwater fishing is vastly different i imagine and many fish would make great bait when chopped in chunks..crossy has never fished salt water species

11:27 am

crosshair

those crab boats you see on that tv series look like a bit of fun though

11:28 am

Judi

Don't fish. I don't think I'd like fishing in the Bearing Sea. Too damn cold.

Judi

They have been abundant the past few years. Sometimes they have them on sale at the grocery store for 4.99 a lb. I snatch them up then.

11:34 am

When I bring them home, I let them crawl around on the tile to amuse the cats.

Well, Lickety's list includes a pi9. Not sure why there is the discrepancy.

1:39 pm

HarryHood

hmmm interesting

1:47 pm

jillibus

Hi all -- Lickety's first list had an extra word -- the pi9 which should exist but not in Enable' tiny little mind. There is an updated list if you refresh.

Molly, don't you just love John O'Donohue?

Bugs, his words are like a hammock for the spirit. I was heart broken when he passed.

3:12 pm

Bugsaw

I treid to change it to my cat for Jilli who loves the icon theme thing but I don't know how. So , the dog is cute

Bugsaw

oops PB time already

3:14 pm

littlebit

i'm good molly, how about yourself?

3:14 pm

MollyL

Bugs, they never publicly released a cause of death. I think the family wanted that private, as it should be.

3:14 pm

Glantarell

evening all

3:14 pm

Not bad Lil Bit.

3:15 pm

4:30 pm

Uneaixoise

littlebit, let me know what you think of The Help -- I loved the book but they keep referring to the movie as a "comedy" which doesn't bode well, eh?

4:36 pm

MollyL

Une, I heard from a friend that the movie was very true to the book. I guess "comedy" sells more tickets than "chick flick".

4:37 pm

Uneaixoise

oh, i hope so . . .

4:44 pm

MollyL

It looks like the parts in the movie were very well cast. That always gives me hope that the story will transfer to the screen well. Viola Davis is perfect as Abeliene.

4:49 pm

negativeneil

Uneaixoise. You're one of the babblers I sent an add to on OMGPOP. Seain was showing me who the babblers are there so I invited you all to connect.

Oh Lord, I didn't realize you were being held up by permit problems.

4:57 pm

4:58 pm

jmcnrick

yes the engineer on my permit's wife died and so I received a major set back be sent to someone new

4:58 pm

negativeneil

I'm confused, jmc. Nothing new though.

4:59 pm

jmcnrick

that is the wife of the engineer at the permit office died so all his work was given to someone else who already had a full load

5:01 pm

periwinkle

oh NM, I guess that is what I was playing? it has been a while

5:05 pm

Oh yes. A few of us play Lexulous scrabble games... mostly by email though. I play live on there sometimes too.

5:06 pm

negativeneil

No, lexulous is on www.lexulous.com and I'm not sure about scramble? What is that?

5:06 pm

o-o

The Corp of Engineers keeps releasing water from the reservoirs behind the dams . ... terrible planning on the part of the Corp

5:06 pm

jmcnrick

actually my favorite games are spider solitaire and catus pete and the corporate monkeys

5:06 pm

negativeneil

I play spider solitaire on my computer sometimes. I'm mostly a word game fanatic though.

5:06 pm

jmcnrick

yikes that does not sound good BR Do they think that lets the pressure off the dams?

5:07 pm

negativeneil

And Sudoku. I'm addicted to that too.

5:07 pm

jmcnrick

scramble is a scrabble game--and i get trounced by babblers when i manage to play

5:07 pm

negativeneil

oh, cool. Where is that played, jmc?

5:08 pm

periwinkle

jmc, give it a try again, I love Scramble. red and Jacula play too

5:08 pm

jmcnrick

hmmm let me see

5:08 pm

periwinkle

on FB, neil

5:09 pm

o-o

Yes .... but the Corp created a backlog up north by not releasing water from downstream reservoirs until it was too late to prevent needless flooding

Scramble is similar to Babble but the rounds are timed

that is indeed terrible, BR

i will play later this week maybe--i have tax returns to do to get some money coming my way

5:10 pm

Sometimes it seems I lose more than I win but I still keep playing. You will get better the more you play

I found really good pasta salad re6 (Giada DeLaurentis) but when I read more carefully th*** were over 60 grams of carbs in each serving so I did not make it

5:13 pm

jmcnrick

i know that they were very angry down river that the government decided to flood crop land to save more populated areas--it seemed people thought that the government could have come up with a better solution

5:14 pm

jmcnrick

well not too big of a surprise that a pasta salad has carbs! haha

5:14 pm

jmcnrick

how about if you use whole grain pasta?

5:14 pm

periwinkle

I know but it had cherry tomatores capers and artichoke hearts in it

5:14 pm

jmcnrick

yum

5:14 pm

periwinkle

I cold not find the right shape in whole grain pasta and I really looked

5:15 pm

jmcnrick

does the shape really matter?

5:15 pm

periwinkle

I may return the pasta and go to another store for the whole grain pasta

5:15 pm

MollyL

Oh, I'm weird that way. My pasta salad has to be made with the tri-color spiral pasta.

5:15 pm

jmcnrick

that sounds like a plan

5:15 pm

periwinkle

yea, according to the re6. shaped so it will catch the dressing

5:16 pm

BzznBea

Sixty grams of carbs! Holy moley! I don't have that many carbs in a week!

5:16 pm

well lots of shapes catch the dressing

Hello all.

sounds like a day well spent peri

jmcnrick

i took my keyan guest to the airport and listened to my boy complain!

5:18 pm

I don't know about capers, but aren't artichokes a high carb food?

5:18 pm

jmcnrick

wheels or corkscrews are good too for salad

bbs to find my last words

5:18 pm

No, they are not.

I am not that big into art ... but I do not choke on it

5:21 pm

jmcnrick

:-)

5:21 pm

MollyL

Well, add that carb count to the pasta, the tomatoes and whatever dressing is in it and I can see how it would come up with 60 per serving.

5:23 pm

BzznBea

Take the fiber count away from the carb count to get the net carb count. Artichokes and hearts are allowed on Atkin's induction.

Bea, if you are still around, here is the recipe Peri was referring to. I figure the high carb count must come from the large-shaped pasta. Everything else looks pretty carb friendly to me.

geez, I got a little bit sidetracked for a while.

BzznBea

At our house, that is called "washing the car"...

5:51 pm

negativeneil

oh cool. You have a recipe blog on Google, BzznBea? I have a friend with a recipe blog on there too which I follow... have to try some of them soon.

5:52 pm

BzznBea

My blog is a little bit of every thing. right now it is on hiatus due to writer's block.

5:53 pm

lbuxx

thank u bzzn.. thought I had tried that

5:54 pm

negativeneil

I see. I have a blog on there too... a repost of older blogs that were in my website, until some nasty ******* hacked my site and took it down. I fought for almost a year to try and reclaim my domain name. Nuts! I gave up and registered it @ .net instead of .com in the end.

5:55 pm

BzznBea

If you like recipe blogs and you like to cook, you have to check out Pioneer Woman.

5:55 pm

negativeneil

wow, impressive! You've designed that well with your custom graphics!

5:56 pm

negativeneil

I'm not really crazy into cooking, but I like trying interesting new things once in a while. I would get into it more if I had more time and was home more than I am, yeah.

And thanks for dinner, Molly! Where have you been all my life?

7:13 pm

uusue2

Garlic sounds good.

7:14 pm

praise2him

7:14 pm

jmcnrick

too much garlic is an oxymoron in my house

7:14 pm

praise2him

LOL jmc

7:14 pm

uusue2

I have some garlic dill pickles from a local farm that are really nice.

7:16 pm

jmcnrick

when my son was a baby i took him with me to the grocery and i was looking at some veggies when i realized people were looking at him with horror on their faces--he was munching a head of garlic like an apple

7:16 pm

jmcnrick

so worth the pb to tell that story

7:16 pm

MollyL

I have a great recipe for refrigerator dill pickles if anyone gets visited by the cucumber fairy this summer.

7:16 pm

jmcnrick

i guess i won't be making pickles this fall since i still don't have a kitchen

7:16 pm

jmcnrick

maybe my sister will let me make them th

However my computer seems to have recovered, although with its volume on maximum. Bbs.

haha good for your computer

7:20 pm

Earlier, I gave special dispensation for hi4. I figured if I didn't, the PB would be bursting at the seams.

7:20 pm

7:22 pm

Minveryork

By the way, congratulations to all of the finishers!Hooray

7:22 pm

MollyL

A lot of people use hi4. Between that, the common words you mentioned and pe4, I figure it was a "get out of the PB free" kind of day.

7:22 pm

dcseain

agreed, molly

7:23 pm

MollyL

Sounds like something Sardo Numspa from "The Golden Child" would eat.

7:30 pm

uusue2

OK, computer is back again. Sigh.

7:30 pm

uusue2

Well, I can expand the image so the grid fills the screen, so it is not so bad. Main problem is that the word list and chat log do not scroll on the phone.

7:31 pm

jmcnrick

i can chat on babble on my blackberry but it is too slow to play the game and if the chat is fast forgetaboutit

7:33 pm

MollyL

One of the funniest things I ever saw here was Eva, accessing Babble on her phone from the grocery store, trying to find chili sauce.

7:33 pm

uusue2

yeah, I could stand to get my bill dropped too :-)

7:34 pm

Minveryork

This grid is full of weirdness. co 5/12? Really? Has anyone ever seen that word spelled with a C?

8:35 pm

Shirlockc

i'm missing a bunch of pi

8:37 pm

MollyL

Many of the PI words have gerund endings Shirl, if that helps.

8:38 pm

MollyL

Okay, 4 of them.

featherbee

hello folks

8:51 pm

MollyL

Eva, have you heard about that guy from Gaithersburg that they are holding in Aruba in connection with the disappearance of his girlfriend? He sounds like a real scum bucket.

8:51 pm

MollyL

Hi Feather

8:54 pm

gremlinn

has the pi9 been called?

8:55 pm

featherbee

hi molly. quiet room. i'm heading off to play elsewhere! ooh, look, bright shiny things over there....

8:56 pm

SeaSpray

Brought me out of hiding Molly...That woman graduated from one of our local high schools

8:56 pm

gremlinn

oh, I see its absence was noted quickly

8:57 pm

SeaSpray

and yes he is not a person I would want to be acquainted with

8:59 pm

MollyL

Oh Sea, that makes this very personal to your community. The article in The Washington Post about this guy made my skin crawl. Apparently, he's been accused of some pretty slimy stuff by several women.

9:00 pm

MollyL

Hi Gremlinn. There have been some discussions about the pi9 not being included in the "official" list.

9:00 pm

gremlinn

yeah, I thought to check the chat archive right after I asked, heh

9:01 pm

joey

dumb question - does it take the pi 9 to finish?

9:01 pm

SeaSpray

I have been watching and reading this story, what a dirt ball...such a shame, I spent a week in aruba , the place is so small I can't believe these men can pull this stuff off

9:01 pm

gremlinn

there is no pi9, but there should be

9:02 pm

joey

aahh.... thanks

9:06 pm

MollyL

Sea, I had a thought today that Aruba is probably hating all this negative publicity.

9:07 pm

SeaSpray

Oh definitely, and exposing there inferior legal system is not doing them much good either

9:08 pm

SeaSpray

Although I would think they would have learned a few things from the Holloway case

9:10 pm

EvaNadine

molly, i have heard. what a creep.

9:13 pm

SeaSpray

sparklers...night all

9:19 pm

carleekat

hi all

9:21 pm

carleekat

i c this grid didnt get better with age either

9:22 pm

MollyL

I'll be disappointed if yet another "angry" rich boy gets away with something like this.

9:22 pm

carleekat

gets away with what molls?

9:22 pm

MollyL

Hi Carlee

9:22 pm

carleekat

hi molls

9:23 pm

MollyL

Oh, we were discussing the latest "disappearance" in Aruba.

9:23 pm

carleekat

oh..i dont know about it...

9:24 pm

MollyL

The guy in question is local for Eva and I. The woman in question is local for SeaSpray.

9:25 pm

Jacula

Hi all. Does anyone need any clues for the grid?

9:26 pm

MollyL

Hi Jac, I don't thanks.

9:26 pm

Jacula

The riots in England seem to have stopped for the moment, but the fact that all 3 wage-earners in our household are now jobless is not yet resolved.

9:26 pm

MollyL

Aw Jac, sorry to hear that. Being jobless is scary.

9:27 pm

Jacula

And no, you're not a real friend if you even have to ask, none of us went looting or rioting.

9:27 pm

MollyL

Oh my God, did people actually ask you that?

9:27 pm

Jacula

Molly - it is scary, but I'm sure we'll all find something.

9:28 pm

Bugsaw

Jacula, that is horrific news! Did you lose your jobs because of the rioting? or just bad timing?

9:28 pm

Jacula

No, they didn't in real life Molly, but a small number on the internet hinted that it might have been a good thing to do.

9:29 pm

Jacula

Bug - there's a recession here in UK and we lost our jobs due to companis 'downsizing', even though we don't all work for the same company.

9:30 pm

MollyL

That is such a callous, unfeeling thing to hint at Jac. I worry about internet communication and how superficial it has made some people.

9:30 pm

Bugsaw

I am so sorry. I know about the recession and feel very fortunate that I still have a job, even tho I would love to retire

9:31 pm

Jacula

This is the 3RD recession I have been through in my working life and the first time it's made me a victimm. So, I think I've been lucky really.

9:32 pm

Bugsaw

I suppose you are then but it was even more frightening when I was older because I thot noone would want an old person. Turns out, you should not believe that hype and keep searching.

9:33 pm

Bugsaw

Got my last job when I was 54

9:33 pm

Jacula

Do you know, this mass loss of jobs might be the making of our dreams if we can work at it as a team, set up the business we all want in the pllace we want and make it work. There 'could' be a silver lining to this.

9:34 pm

Jacula

Bug - I'm 54, too.

9:34 pm

Bugsaw

As I said, I got a job in new field at that age so don't be too discouraged.

9:35 pm

Jacula

Bug - what is your field of expertise?

9:35 pm

MollyL

Jac, I lit a candle for you. Where there is light, there is hope. May your troubling times pass very soon.

9:36 pm

Jacula

Molly - thank you so much.

9:36 pm

Bugsaw

I am working in the schools as an educational assistant or teacher's aide. I work with the kids who have difficulties of one sort or another. After all my years of parenting, I had more resources at my disposal that young people do.

9:37 pm

Bugsaw

I will do the same Molly.

9:38 pm

Jacula

Bug - schools, where I have worked before, and hospitals, where my son tells me that 'middle-aged women with ig bottoms and a bossy attitude' abound may well employ me. :-((

9:38 pm

Bugsaw

At 44 I got a job at a work/life skills program for mentally challenged adults.

9:38 pm

MollyL

I wish my years of parenting made a difference to prospective employers. If it did, I would be making a cushy salary and enjoying great benefits.

9:39 pm

Bugsaw

I wonder if a big bottom and bossy attitude is a requirement..........

9:39 pm

Jacula

Molly - same here, especially all I saw and heard and went through when my daughter was in a clinic for 3 years.

9:40 pm

Jacula

Bug - well rock band, Queen did say that big-bottomed girls make the rocking world go round.

9:40 pm

MollyL

"Lived experience" is our best teacher. And yet it means nothing when applying for a job.

9:41 pm

Bugsaw

I sing that song often, especially when weeding :)

9:41 pm

EvaNadine

hubbys cousin is applying for jobs right now.
he is 18 years old and a junior in college -- graduated HS at age 16. sadly, he is having a tough time, since he has no "experience." people keep asking him what he has been doing and hes just like "well, um, im 18. and over halfway done with college. so, yknow, ive been doing that..."

9:42 pm

Bugsaw

Don't believe that Molly!

9:42 pm

MollyL

Ohhhh...Are you gonna take me home tonight?
Ohhhhh, down beside that red firelight.

9:43 pm

MollyL

What kind of jobs is he applying for Eva?

fireworks.

9:44 pm

MollyL

Oh good Lil Bit. Glad you girls had a good time.

9:44 pm

Bugsaw

When I interviewed with the school board, they asked me what would I do if.... questions which I answered. I got the job when I added, "But if I was doing my job right, it would never get to that state." When I was younger, I would not have had the courage to add that

9:44 pm

Jacula

va - my kids are experiencing just the same here in UK, both have got degrees. My stepdaughter tried to get a weekend job not long ago, was asked to leave her http://tinyurl.com/anzzxf.

9:44 pm

MollyL

Congrats to lurking Cos!!

9:44 pm

cosdem

:)

9:44 pm

EvaNadine

he has applied to work at a few banks (i assume as a teller) because he has a natural ability with numbers.
he has also applied to be a cashier at the grocery store.

9:45 pm

littlebit

we did! thanks!

9:45 pm

Jacula

Eva, I meant.

9:45 pm

cosdem

i love grids with gerunds

and i'm off to FB for a bit then off to bed! night all!

9:45 pm

MollyL

And those entry level jobs are giving him grief about no experience? Jeeze.

9:47 pm

mrpresident

afternoon all :?

9:48 pm

Minveryork

Hi to all babblers. I have returned to get my last 4 words

9:48 pm

EvaNadine

its just stupid that banks are giving him a hard time about not having job experience when, HELLO! he is 2.5 years ahead in school! maybe that makes up for a lack of experience?

9:48 pm

Bugsaw

I believe it is harder for younger people because they don't have the experience until someone is willing to take them on and train them.

9:48 pm

MollyL

I agree Eva. That is just the kind of young person I would want to hire.

9:50 pm

Jacula

It seems that all vacancies want 'experience' now, but if no one lets any one get any experieince, how the f**K are they supposed to progress?

9:51 pm

MollyL

Yes Jac, but meanwhile, they want to hire young people, who don't command a high salary and are easier on their benefit plans. It's absurd.

9:51 pm

EvaNadine

he hasnt even been able to do an internship because during that "free time" that most kids do them, he is either playing school sports or taking extra classes.

9:52 pm

EvaNadine

but exactly, molly -- he is exactly the kind of kid you WANT to hire. a go-getter!

9:52 pm

9:53 pm

MollyL

Go Min!

9:54 pm

Bugsaw

Eve, he can fill that gap by volunteering with an organization that will vouch for his work habits.

9:55 pm

MollyL

It's a mixed message employers are sending. They want experience, but won't pay people for that experience. They want younger people, who don't ask for high salaries, but won't hire those young people, because they have no experience.

9:56 pm

EvaNadine

he will figure it out; hes a smart kid. he worked for a month as a busboy, and if thats what it takes, he will take a more manual job just to get some sort of "experience"

9:58 pm

Bugsaw

that is what it takes Eva. Sad isn't it

9:58 pm

MollyL

I'm a little creeped out that banks won't hire him as a teller and grocery stores won't hire him as a cashier. Given the dim people that hold those jobs at my banks and grocery stores.

10:00 pm

EvaNadine

the grocery store is still a maybe, but the banks are requiring experience. but he really wants the banks job more...

10:00 pm

Bugsaw

he will find something soon Molly. Sometimes stores just don't have an opening when kids apply. He must keep going back

10:00 pm

MollyL

Agreed Bugs. Persistence pays off.

10:01 pm

EvaNadine

anywho, its WELL past my bedtime. eyelids are super-heavy. and i wont be around in the morning, since im not allowed to log onto the network at work -- i am FINALLY getting my name updated at work and have to stay offline for 4+ hours while they make all the needed changes!

11:08 pm

stidmama

of course! LOL a dear friend we hadn't seen in over 11 years visited this weekend and stayed the night. I now have a pic of her daughter (who used to babysit stidkid#1) and the grandson --- my first words to my friend we4 "is she old enough for a baby???" and of course the daughter is now nearly 30!

11:09 pm

Dorens

time sure does fly, supersonic jets

11:09 pm

stidmama

11:09 pm

Dorens

and yes, phoebe is entering kindergarten.. should be interesting

11:10 pm

stidmama

oh, I LOVE the name "Juliet"

11:10 pm

Dorens

11:11 pm

stidmama

:-D *pictures a lovely lady with snow-white hair with a halo of daisies and a rainbow in the background

11:12 pm

haha - no snow white hair here... young and modern looking, but still so sweet... a butterfly collector

11:13 pm

stidmama

oh -- I want snow-white hair... someday. Right now, my "highlights" are silvery and rather alarming against the dark brown. *sigh*

11:14 pm

Dorens

unfortunately redheads don't turn white.. just fade into a very unattractive no-color kinda like straw but uglier
