Jane and Arlene are outside their nursing home, having a coke and a smoke, when it starts to rain. Jane pulls out a condom, cuts off the end, puts it over her cigarette, and continues smoking.

Arlene: What in the devil is that?

Jane: A condom. This way my cigarette doesn't get wet.

Arlene: Where did you get it?

Jane: You can get them at any pharmacy.

The next day, Arlene hobbles herself into the local pharmacy and announces to the pharmacist that she wants a box of condoms.

The pharmacist, obviously embarrassed, looks at her kind of strangely (she is after all, over 80 years of age), but very delicately asks what brand of condom she prefers.

'Doesn't matter Sonny, as long as it fits on a Camel.'

A cowboy walks into town and he sees this Indian sitting on the side of the road with his dog, horse, and sheep. The cowboy walks up to the Indian and says, "Hey, that's a cool dog. Mind if I speak to him."
The Indian looks up at the cowboy and says, "Dog...no...talk."
But the cowboy turns to the dog anyway and he says, "Hey dog. How's it going?"
The dog answers (via the cowboys ventriloquism), "Doin' all right. Thanks for asking."
"Is this your owner?", the cowboy asks.
"Yep."
"Well, how's he treating you?"
The dog answers, "Real good. He walks me, he feeds me great food, he takes me to the lake to play."
The Indian is amazed at this point, and then the cowboy asks if he can talk to his horse.
Again the Indian says, "horse...no...talk."
But the cowboy turns to the horse and says, "Hey horse. How's it going?"
The horse replies, "I 'm doing good."
"Is this your owner?", says the cowboy.
"Sure is," answers the horse.
"Well how's he treating you?"
"Pretty good. Thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, he brushes me down, and keeps me in a nice warm barn with all the hay and straw I'd ever want."
The Indian is totally amazed, so when the cowboy turns to the sheep, the Indian is clearly worried.
The cowboy asks, "Mind if I talk to your sheep?"
To which the Indian answers, "SHEEP LIE!"

6:09 am

herinfernallady

I have a cat jammed under my leg at the moment and a really soar knee and hip from her yesterday

6:09 am

herinfernallady

YUM I love Pecan and pumpkin pies

6:09 am

kje

salad will be roasted butternut squash, pears, spiced pecans, greens - will be delish ; )

6:10 am

herinfernallady

You can keep the squash

6:10 am

kje

I am considering making pecan bars rather than pecan pie...easier

6:10 am

kje

i LOVE winter squash!

6:11 am

kje

how can you like pumkin and not butternut? very similar

6:11 am

kje

pumpkin

6:11 am

kje

sloppy typist

6:11 am

mrpresident

infern, squash is pumpkin

6:11 am

herinfernallady

Not in my world it aint

6:12 am

herinfernallady

The baby squash is yuck

6:12 am

kje

OK, must run... want to beat the worst of the crowds - see ya later

6:13 am

6:13 am

mrpresident

see ya kje! enjoy your cooking!

6:14 am

herinfernallady

Have fun Kje

6:15 am

mrpresident

infern... our squash is not the same as in the USA.

6:15 am

herinfernallady

Really?

6:16 am

mrpresident

yep, we have squash... little yellow crappy looking veges... but squash is pumpkin in the US

6:17 am

mrpresident

like we have rockmelon, and they have cantelope

6:17 am

herinfernallady

ok

6:17 am

herinfernallady

Mr PRes the laptop Died AGAIN :/

6:17 am

mrpresident

to me, cantelope is a jumping piece of meat... without the c

6:18 am

mrpresident

infern... time to go to the department.... department of fair trading

6:18 am

herinfernallady

lol

6:20 am

herinfernallady

Nah

6:20 am

herinfernallady

laptop is out of warrenty

6:20 am

mrpresident

yeah... they will replace it post haste

6:20 am

mrpresident

warranty doesn't matter

6:21 am

mrpresident

how many times has it been repaired??

6:21 am

herinfernallady

It was the hard drive again I have no choice but to pay for this new one and wait. Twice this year

6:21 am

mrpresident

well, what is the warranty?

6:22 am

herinfernallady

Everything works fine I just got a bad HD which is being sent away to get fixed but I had to pay for a loaner

6:22 am

herinfernallady

Long painful story short Thailand flooded no hard drives being exported current stock what they have

6:23 am

mrpresident

if the computer was repaired twice in warranty, then you are entitled to a new one on the third repair... cause they have to extend the warranty by 3 months each time it is repaired

6:23 am

herinfernallady

As I just said not much can be done as the stock is low the prices are high.

6:24 am

herinfernallady

B.f has similar issues with his work but now there is the floods and Japan so they are doubly screwed

6:25 am

mrpresident

infern... not being a stickler... but have learned over my time to buy locally, and get the service warranty... that way, any 'errors' can be fixed instantly without problem

6:26 am

herinfernallady

Yes but Aus do not make HD's

6:26 am

herinfernallady

not much choice ni the issue

6:26 am

mrpresident

but you can buy HDs through Aus companies

6:27 am

mrpresident

and they are then responsible through our fair trading

6:27 am

herinfernallady

Err yes but the one I went to didn't have the stock. They are fairly reliable just bad timing

6:27 am

mrpresident

then they have to replace it with a product of equal or greater value

6:28 am

herinfernallady

They are getting the part and then i can get my $$$ back in a month

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Just bad timing

6:28 am

mrpresident

and if they tell you different... dept of fair trading will sort them in about 48 hours

6:28 am

herinfernallady

Either that or no pc for the next month

6:29 am

mrpresident

did you see that add for brazilian hair straightening system?? on tv??

6:29 am

herinfernallady

Um which one?

6:30 am

mrpresident

Brazilian Hair Straightening

6:30 am

herinfernallady

I know the product but which company?

6:31 am

mrpresident

same ones that do nude by nature

6:31 am

mrpresident

do I have to look it up??

6:31 am

herinfernallady

Not a clue. I know that any with flamodihide is bad

6:32 am

mrpresident

well, they called me and asked me if I would like a 'trial period'... i had seen it on tv and left a message for them to call me.

6:32 am

herinfernallady

k

6:33 am

mrpresident

so, they call me and the advertisement on tv says it is a 30 day trial period on the product... but a 16 day keep period before having to pay.

6:34 am

mrpresident

now, does that make sense???

6:35 am

mrpresident

a trial period of 30 days??? and you have only 16 days to return it?

6:35 am

herinfernallady

no

6:35 am

herinfernallady

But I dont use all that stuff

6:35 am

mrpresident

well, they pulled the ad for 30 days, and changed the bullshit advertising to 16 days

6:36 am

herinfernallady

I love how Mc Donalds were done for false advertising on their fake coffee

6:37 am

mrpresident

indeed, it only take one complaint!

6:38 am

herinfernallady

OK I am going take care I need to do a few test runs on my game

6:39 am

mrpresident

I reported this 'brazilian hair straightening' company, and within 2 days, they were calling me and making deals to return my money... keep the product, and keep my mouth shut.
I told the fair trading that they were lying and next thing I know... they changed their advertising! luved it!

6:40 am

mrpresident

anyway, i am for justice... nothing more, nothing less

6:40 am

mrpresident

bye for now

6:40 am

herinfernallady

and for those doing the turkey thing tomorrow i will share my famouse yorkie pudding recipie!

10:51 am

crosshair

2 cups of flour..6 eggs..2 cups milk,a dash of garlic and a dash of fresh ground black pepper. mix it all and let sit on counter for an hour,coming back to restir..use 2 muffin tins coat muffin cups with peanut oil(bacon fat is traditional) and PREHEAT pans at 400f for 5 minadd yorkie mix and cook till golden
you can half that recipie for a even dozen yorkies
preheating the pan is key
and you can also sprinke a pinch of shaved shark cheddar on top before bakinbg
this is the best yorkies you will ever eat!

10:51 am

you can half this for a even dozen yorkies

needless to say it hasnt helped me s top smoking

3:04 pm

uusue2

Yes, he will have to do it himself, ivesy - so hard to watch them make mistakes, especially such devastating ones

3:04 pm

stidmama

true, it has to be him, ultimately. But it's rough to stand by and see him suffer.

3:04 pm

stidmama

Ivesy, are you able to at least cut back on the smoking? I know it's hard when you are under stress, but so important to take care of yourself!

3:05 pm

ivesy3

so hard to see him suffer. but so mad for putting himself thru this.. he did so well for over a year..am trying stid....

3:06 pm

uusue2

might be best not to beat yourself up about the smoking right now, ivesy, you have enough stress as it is - when you are strong enough you will quit, I am sure of it

3:06 pm

stidmama

If he has done it before, then he CAN do it again.

3:07 pm

ivesy3

i know sue. smoking relaxing me a bit. . and he can do, but at this pt he doesnt want to. that is what scares me.

3:08 pm

uusue2

I know what you mean, ivesy - if he wants to, you can help him, but you can't make him want to :-(

3:09 pm

ivesy3

doesnt work unless he wants to... have been thru this so many times. lures me into tranquility then bam.. a mother doesnt learn

3:10 pm

stidmama

I have to head out again. ((((Ivesy)))) Be kind to yourself, and take good care.

lbdawger

hiya Lynxxx

3:34 pm

jesdraggon

We bought a new, commercial grade washer the end of August, because we'd gone through 3 residential washers in 18 months.

3:34 pm

jesdraggon

now the new washer is on the fritz!

3:35 pm

lynxxx

at least it will be under warranty?

3:35 pm

lbdawger

what are you washing?

3:36 pm

lbdawger

spin drying cats and dogs is frowned upon, Jes ;-)

3:38 pm

lynxxx

another doozy...he5.26 - someone/thing puts a h** on the washing machine and the start of my name reversed...plura for 6

3:38 pm

I tried to open Lickety's Babble Clues site and received a reported attack page. What is going on please?

3:39 pm

lynxxx

We have been told it is a false warning, if you have IE you can open it in that with no issues

3:39 pm

rhozee

Thanks! I will try to figure out how to open it now.

3:42 pm

lbdawger

i think if you click on the ignore warning button, you should access.

3:42 pm

lbdawger

okie dokey, i'm off for a while. bbl. good luck with the grid.

Feeling terribly domesticated! I just finished knitting a jacket for my sister for Christmas. Hey Sue :-)

3:48 pm

jesdraggon

back again, finnegan

3:48 pm

MollyL

*Wonders how Soodle can smell my turkey when it's not roasting yet. Precognition perhaps.*

3:49 pm

Soodle

Hi Jes. Hi Molls.. Its nasal wishful thinking, I suspect...

3:50 pm

Soodle

Or olofactory wishful thinking perhaps?

burning through the last 27 with the list

3:54 pm

MollyL

I love Thanksgiving. All year long, you go to the grocery store and there is this small section of sweet potatoes. Then Thanksgiving time rolls around and the small section becomes a mountain of sweet potatoes. I feel like I need to genuflect or something.

3:56 pm

Soodle

So, what is everybody doing to celebrate the big day? Big family occasions?

3:56 pm

uusue2

we are thinking of going to the zoo, soodle, it is free tomorrow :-)

3:57 pm

Soodle

Lovely,

3:57 pm

uusue2

and we always seem to have mountains of sweet potatoes in the store but maybe that is because we are in the middle of farm country

3:57 pm

Soodle

Lovely, Sue. the zoo is always a great day out. Have fun!

3:59 pm

uusue2

it's supposed to be nice, too, mid-50s F (maybe 12C?) and sunny

3:59 pm

jesdraggon

ok, who wants a jack russell for christmas? :)

4:03 pm

uusue2

I might but I don't think my labradoodle would (she doesn't get along well with other dogs, unfortunately)

4:04 pm

jesdraggon

hmm. probably not a brilliant plan to mail him to you then

4:04 pm

JenMO16

hi everyone

4:04 pm

uusue2

probably not :-) would take a lot of stamps anyway

4:04 pm

uusue2

hi, jen!

4:04 pm

jesdraggon

hi jen

4:05 pm

jesdraggon

heh. yeah, you'd have to pick him up at the airport

4:05 pm

MollyL

I'm having this vision of Sue at the airport with a sign that says JACK RUSSELL.

4:05 pm

uusue2

Now Jack Daniels, on the other hand...

4:07 pm

jesdraggon

how about if I put a bottle of jack in the kennel with the jack? D

4:07 pm

uusue2

as long as he doesn't drink it on the way :-)

4:08 pm

jesdraggon

it'd be a sealed bottle

4:09 pm

Soodle

Why are wanting to get rid of a Jack Russell, Jes?

4:09 pm

uusue2

oh, well, then...unfortunately our local shelter has more than enough pets that need placement (and we already have a dog and two cats from them)

4:11 pm

jesdraggon

because he's living in the kennel at the clinic right now, and needs a home. i already have a foster dog and foster cat at home in addition to my normal contingent...

4:11 pm

jesdraggon

he has no health problems of which i am aware, is current on vaccines, microchipped, neutered, but needs a fenced yard as he does not stay home on his own.

4:12 pm

Soodle

Aha! A high maintenance Jack Russell.

4:13 pm

Soodle

Our rescue mongrel Daisy is a high maintenance mutt as well. She has my heart broken!

4:14 pm

jesdraggon

no more so than any terrier, i think

4:16 pm

Soodle

She has a bit of terrier in her, along with an assortment of other breeds. Proving to be totallly untrainable, but very loving and lovable.

4:18 pm

jesdraggon

heh. Well, Jack's not untrainable, just rambunctious.

4:20 pm

Soodle

Rambunctious! I love it! Describes our Daisy to a tee!

4:21 pm

MollyL

The pizza delivery guy is my best friend the night before Thanksgiving.

4:21 pm

uusue2

<--- wishes she could eat pizza at home

4:22 pm

MollyL

? Why can't you ?

4:23 pm

uusue2

well, I could upstairs in my son's room but can't have it in the kitchen or dining room, it would contaminate the whole place with wheat and make Frank sick

4:24 pm

MollyL

Wow, I had no idea he was that allergic. I guess there are lots of places he can't go then.

4:25 pm

uusue2

he won't even have a glass of water at Pizza Hut (although he will go there with a group - has to wash up before he eats anything, though)

4:26 pm

MollyL

Oh, now see I would think that if one pizza would contaminate your house with wheat, then Pizza Hut would be off limits. I know nothing.

4:27 pm

uusue2

well, it's the food preparation surfaces (and the plates and whatnot) that are a problem

4:27 pm

uusue2

as long as he doesn't eat at Pizza Hut he can wash off any bits of flour that might have gotten on him, but if it's into the countertops at home (or the drawers, or whatever) it's a lot harder to get out

4:28 pm

uusue2

pizza is a particular problem because it tends to have a lot of loose flour on it that gets all over the place

4:29 pm

uusue2

sometimes we are a bit over-careful but he is extremely sensitive, and will be sick for 3 days if he gets exposed to more than a very trivial amount of gluten

4:29 pm

Soodle

Oh my :-( ! Life without pizza?

4:30 pm

uusue2

there are gluten-free pizzas, and he will sometimes get one for a special treat - they are quite expensive, though

4:31 pm

Soodle

Totally off topic... does anybody know of an IPhone app that you can play Babble on? (Guess who just got a new IPhone...)

4:31 pm

uusue2

I eat them if I am out somewhere (sometimes) but I have to wash my face and hands and brush my teeth before kissing...

4:31 pm

uusue2

I babble on my android phone, soodle, using the regular browser

4:31 pm

uusue2

works fine although the chat box and the word list don't scroll

4:32 pm

Soodle

I tried it last night, and got frustrated resizing the screen the whole time. Not to worry... I still have my trusty (?) laptop!

4:33 pm

Soodle

But I am still very impressed with the IPhone. Its amazing!

4:33 pm

uusue2

I can get the puzzle and the stats on the screen at a readable size (well, if I take my glasses off and hold it pretty close to my nose - one of the times when being nearsighted helps!)

4:33 pm

uusue2

I have to swipe sideways to see the word list and the chat, though

4:34 pm

Soodle

Aha! I didn't try the sidey-ways option!

4:35 pm

Soodle

How is your Dad, Sue?

4:35 pm

uusue2

he's doing great, soodle!

4:35 pm

uusue2

spending a lot of time watching DVD's from the Learning Company - essentially entire courses on DVD, 12-24 hours each - he has dozens of them

4:36 pm

Soodle

Great! My mum turned 80 at the beginning of the month. Me & her went on holiday a couple of weeks ago, and on Saturday coming, we have a big family dinner to celebrate.

4:36 pm

uusue2

when I was there in August we watched a sample of lectures on linguistics, history of language, meteorology, and art

4:37 pm

uusue2

ah, I remember your holiday, soodle, it sounded great! And the two of you managed to survive each other's company, I see :-)

4:38 pm

Soodle

How wonderful is that? We bought my dad a laptop for his 80th, and all he uses it for is to play Solitaire! Sheesh. and yes, myself and my mom had a really good time. :-)

4:39 pm

uusue2

my dad has had computers for a long time but he doesn't want internet at home (he goes to the library to read his email). He uses his for word processing and to keep track of his finances (and to do his taxes).

4:41 pm

Soodle

And long may he continue to do so, Sue!

4:42 pm

uusue2

Indeed. I tried talking to him about what he might do when he's no longer able to stay in his house by himself, and he said he figures he will be able to stay there another 5-10 years (he's 90).

4:42 pm

uusue2

Sigh.

4:43 pm

SeaSpray

He has the right outlook Sue

4:43 pm

uusue2

well, he does, until he doesn't (if he does get to the point where he needs help, it won't be easy to convince him he needs it, I suspect)

4:43 pm

uusue2

and I'm 800 miles away...

4:44 pm

snags

you all have to remember this when you find yourself in this position and give in easily.

4:44 pm

snags

I am getting old myself.

4:45 pm

SeaSpray

My Grandmother lived alone until she died at almost 100...No one could convince her otherwise

4:45 pm

snags

Hate the thought of loosing my independence though.

4:45 pm

uusue2

I agree, snags; there is a thin line somewhere between tough and too stubborn, and it can be hard to find sometimes

4:45 pm

snags

I know..............

4:45 pm

snags

May God show me the way when it is my turn.

4:46 pm

uusue2

I was actually surprised when he let me do all the driving after he got home - I told him that he wasn't going to drive until the doctor said it was ok, and he agreed

4:46 pm

uusue2

of course, as soon as the doctor said it was ok, that was the end of me driving him around!

4:47 pm

LeslieAnn

you need to slip that doctor a $20

4:47 pm

Soodle

And is he safe to drive, Sue?

4:48 pm

uusue2

seems to be, soodle, although I worry about his eyesight - he has macular degeneration although it is only really bad in one eye

4:48 pm

uusue2

and he is mentally very sharp

4:48 pm

SeaSpray

Do you have siblings sue?

4:48 pm

Nef

Hello,Everybody! How are you all today?

4:49 pm

uusue2

not surviving, sea; my sister had two children but they are no longer in touch with him (and one of them has three children of her own)

4:49 pm

SeaSpray

Good Nef and you?

4:49 pm

uusue2

hi, nef!

4:49 pm

Soodle

A lot of family doctors are very reluctant to declare a lifelong patient unfit to drive. It happened with my Dad... his doc certified him fit to drive, even though there wasn't a wing mirror on any car within a 50 foot radius of where he had driven...

4:50 pm

Soodle

Hello Nef, and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

4:50 pm

Nef

I'm glad to hear your Dad is still doing so well, sue. My friend just left to spend Thanksgiving with her 102 year old Dad in AZ. (But he has 'round the clock care; has diabetes and some kidney issues -- along with senior stubbornness! ;-)

4:51 pm

uusue2

well, this wasn't the family doctor, soodle, it was the guy who put his leg back together

4:51 pm

negativeneil

Hi Sue, Nef, et al.

4:51 pm

uusue2

my dad has neighbors who keep an eye on him, but not very closely (which is how he likes it!)

4:51 pm

uusue2

hi, neil!

4:52 pm

SeaSpray

Hi neil

4:52 pm

Nef

ortho docs are pretty strict about driving after hip surgery. I couldn't drive for 6 weeks after mine...

4:52 pm

Soodle

My dad was an absolute hazard to other road users. In the end, we just had to call in the local police to withdraw his licence. We just had to consider the possibility of him injuring somebody.

4:52 pm

uusue2

it was a good 6 weeks or more for my dad, too, nef

4:52 pm

Soodle

Hi Neil

4:52 pm

negativeneil

Hi again, SeaSpray... sorry about that. Had an important call about a job. I send you an email.

4:53 pm

negativeneil

Just came here to add an update.

4:53 pm

uusue2

well, I was around for several days after he started driving again and kept a pretty close eye on him - he seemed fine

4:53 pm

Soodle

Hi Seaspray

4:53 pm

Nef

did you get a job, neil?

4:53 pm

periwinkle

re5/22 pls

4:53 pm

SeaSpray

No problem...hope it was good news for you.

4:53 pm

uusue2

and when we were there in August he drove us around as well (my car is too small for his liking) and still seemed fine

4:53 pm

uusue2

<--- eagerly awaiting neil's update

4:53 pm

SeaSpray

H soodle

4:54 pm

negativeneil

I did get an assignment, yes... temporary but still, it's income. As long as I can keep lining them up I'll be ok. I've been working freelance for the past while but woudl like something more stable and steady.

4:54 pm

Nef

that's great news, sue

4:54 pm

neil, what do you write? exclusively political?

4:56 pm

Hi Trif.

4:56 pm

negativeneil

Anything that's required... I'm a journalist. I am also a political writer, but that's not my main "gig".

4:56 pm

Trifioso

would dearly appreciate a clue for the lower e in the right column

4:56 pm

Soodle

Trif! Happy Thanksgiving, my friend (((())))

4:57 pm

happy thanksgivng to you to, Soodle, in whatever way you may choose to celebrate it

4:57 pm

4:57 pm

Trifioso

LOVE you soodle!

4:58 pm

Trifioso

many grateful thanks

4:58 pm

Soodle

Love ya too, Trif :-)

4:59 pm

Trifioso

received a book in the mail from Ireland yesterday, Soodle. Apparently Mr. Hate's uncle contributed photos to a history book, and he was kind enough to send a copy.

4:59 pm

Trifioso

I was so touched that he chose to remember me. It was most kind

5:00 pm

Soodle

Whats the name of the book Trif?

5:00 pm

negativeneil

Oh yeah, LeslieAnn? Well I'm not a reporter, as some seem to think... that and a journalist are not the same thing. Yeah, I am holding a mic in my profile photo, but that's just because I was interviewing some of the protesters down at Occupy LA last month on video, so I could post it on my website. A friend shot that footage for me and added the graphics and text. Came out not too bad... link to it is in the Oct. 36 update on profile.

5:01 pm

MollyL

Taking a break from the Thanksgiving prep. I just made a mess with flour that made me think of poor Frank.

5:01 pm

uusue2

indeed, molly, that is why we keep flour out of our kitchen :-)

5:02 pm

Trifioso

ummm - had to go get it, to make sure I got the name right...."The Light of Other Days" an Album of the Baldoyle Area, by Michael J. Hurley. Nice title, I think

5:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Last week when I was trying to arrange some shelves, a shelf fell to the floor...

5:02 pm

Kaplan the Magne

and it was of course the shelf that held the glass jars of FLOUR and HONEY

5:02 pm

MollyL

I would be torn Sue. I do love baking and making bread. It would be hard to give that up.

5:03 pm

negativeneil

Ugh, Kaplan... a loaded shelf?

5:03 pm

MollyL

Oh my God Kap, what a mess that must have been.

5:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Lesson: don't ever put flour and honey on the same shelf.

5:03 pm

Soodle

Hmmm... Baldoyle isn't too far from where I grew up. I will keep an eye out for the book in the shops.

5:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I took pictures of it.

5:03 pm

negativeneil

OMG. Ugh! What a mess that must've made.

5:03 pm

Trifioso

its a fundraiser for the st. francis hospice

5:03 pm

negativeneil

Uhhh, no.

5:03 pm

Soodle

To All My American Friends..... How To Cook A Turkey:
First, buy the turkey and a bottle of whiskey. Pour yourself a glass of whiskey and put the turkey in the oven. Take another 2 drinks of whiskey, and set the degree at 375 ovens. Have 3 more whiskeys of drink and turn the oven on. Take 4 whisks of drinky and turk the bastey. Stick a turkey in the thermometer, and glass yourself a pour of whiskey. Bake the whiskey for 4 hours, take the oven out of the turkey, and floor the turkey up off the pick. Pour yourself another glass of turkey. Now just tet the sable, and turk the carvey!

5:03 pm

Kaplan the Magne

After standing in shock for about 5 minutes.

5:03 pm

Nef

oh,my, Kap. That must have been a mess!

5:03 pm

Trifioso

wow, kaplan....I hope you didn't cut yourself!

5:03 pm

MollyL

Those will look so nice in the family album.

5:04 pm

SeaSpray

ewww...I remember when my son was a toddler, he got out of bed went and got chicken, flour, and wine out of the fridge....what a mess

5:04 pm

Trifioso

HA!

5:04 pm

negativeneil

Haha, yeah. I was about to say, it seems like whoever wrote those instructions was a little... er, drunk.

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Soodle, funny.

5:04 pm

MollyL

Soodle, you did not ask my permission to post my turkey cooking directions. : P

5:04 pm

Kaplan the Magne

It was a lot of flour and a lot of honey.

5:05 pm

negativeneil

And I thought that as soon as I read "set the degree at 375 ovens".

5:05 pm

negativeneil

Cleaning that up must've kept you busy, Kap.

5:05 pm

uusue2

must have been a nightmare to clean up, kap!!

5:05 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Uh, yeah...

5:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

With all the bits of broken glass in it.

5:06 pm

uusue2

when my dad had just come home from the rehab center he decided to make some chicken stock (don't ask); he put it in the fridge in a plastic container

5:06 pm

Trifioso

could you have made it into honey bread or something? Oh, no, I guess not - glass in it....

5:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

You also should remember not to try to vacuum honey.

5:06 pm

uusue2

a couple of days later he was getting something else out of the fridge and knocked the container on the floor

5:06 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't do that, but it is a good thing to remember anyway.

5:06 pm

MollyL

Trif, I had the exact same thought until she posted about the glass.

5:07 pm

Trifioso

snap molly! You must be scottish too, huh?

5:07 pm

negativeneil

Speaking of cleaning... better get back to the cleaning I was doing before I took a break to check email and stuff on here. Fun! bfn

5:07 pm

Soodle

Wise words indeed, Kap. (Note to self... never vacuum glass infested honey...)

5:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Go on, Sue...

5:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Or honey infested glass.

5:07 pm

MollyL

So Kap, what kind of new vacuum are you getting?

5:07 pm

uusue2

no broken glass but it was a LOT of chicken stock, and a bit fatty (he hadn't skimmed it yet) so it made the kitchen floor slippery - took me quite a while to get it to the point where I was willing to let him back in the kitchen

5:07 pm

Trifioso

brings to mind a website....www.shitmykidsruined.com

5:07 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I didn't vvacuum the honey. Nature abhors a vacuum, and so do I.

5:08 pm

uusue2

last thing he needed was to fall again!!

5:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Schmaltz, Sue!

5:08 pm

LeslieAnn

could have been worse, kap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPNyK7X

5:08 pm

Kaplan the Magne

He's very suspicious. He thought the video quality was too good- and hey, when did she get the video camera?

5:17 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No , it was re: the kids dumping flour all over the house.

5:17 pm

dcseain

oh, good :)

5:18 pm

uusue2

looked genuine to me; my phone will take videos of that quality. certainly her reactions, and the actions of the kids, seemed plausible

5:18 pm

Hey DC :-) Long time no see, hope all well with you and yours?

6:29 pm

Riverdance

yum...for tonight or tomorrow...hello babble friends

6:29 pm

Riverdance

do you have the whole bulb in the oven with olive oil?

6:29 pm

dcseain

for tomorrow, they re-heat well. Will make the spinach in the morning, as it does not reheat well, and is good cold too

6:30 pm

dcseain

spinach with toasted pine nuts, garlic, raisins and chopped apples. :)

6:30 pm

Riverdance

I am not a spinach fan...but sounds good...but love garlic mashed potatoes

6:31 pm

VermontMeow

Hi Everyone

6:31 pm

dcseain

espinacas a la catalana the spinach dish is called -- it's really quite lovely

6:31 pm

Riverdance

Happy Thanksgiving

6:31 pm

dcseain

hi, river and vermont

6:32 pm

dcseain

and yes, two whole heads with oil, salt, pepper in oven now :)

6:32 pm

VermontMeow

Dcseain - is it cooked or a salad?

6:32 pm

dcseain

the pine nuts, garlic, plumped raisins and diced apple are cooked to just browned, and the spinach is wilted into that.

6:33 pm

dcseain

great side, wonderful leftover topped with hot eggs over easy, nice bed for fish or fowl... very versatile. The apples are optional and in this case seasonal

6:33 pm

VermontMeow

It sounds scrumptious. I could easily imagine it as a salad also.

6:36 pm

dcseain

depends on how wilted the spinach is

6:37 pm

Eva

hi vermont-how much snow did you guys get today?

6:38 pm

Eva

poor people who lost their electricity!

6:39 pm

VermontMeow

About a foot - wet and heavy. Took down two trees by the brook onto the back lawn. My husband just finished cutting up 11 trees downed by Irene. Given that they are now snow covered they may remain there until spring. LOL.

6:40 pm

Eva

so sorry about the trees! I think we got about 8-9 inches here. Very, veryheavy stuff.

6:41 pm

VermontMeow

Took my sister a long time to get to work as lines were down on their road so it had not been plowed. We had no power issues.

6:42 pm

dcseain

well, the ground there has not had time to dry out since Irene, so Vermont and other impacted areas are bound to loose more trees as the Winter goes on, less the ground freezes fairly quickly.

6:42 pm

Eva

our plow guys had a hip replacement yesterday and neglectd to line up subs, so ti took a bit of doing to get down the driveway

6:43 pm

VermontMeow

Yes, in this case the unseasonably warm temps have worked against us.

6:43 pm

Eva

we are on high ground and have been very, very lucky in all of the storms

6:44 pm

VermontMeow

Geez, didn't he even let you know ahead of time. Mother Nature often chooses a time to be most inconvenient.

6:44 pm

Eva

nope.

6:45 pm

Eva

but a neighbor came and took care of it.

6:45 pm

dcseain

glad you're up high. happily, that's been the case with everyone i know in VT, for which i am very grateful.

6:46 pm

Eva

news said that several thousand people in the eastern part of the state lost power. That was earlier today, so hopefully they have it back. That would be hard on this particular day. But, of course, there is a lot, lot worse.

6:46 pm

VermontMeow

We had all those trees down, but that was just a big nuisance. A had a huge willow fall, missing a hydrangea, a lilac, our propane tank, the deck. It struck the roof and a window and damaged neither!!! Can't get any luckier than that. No house damage at all.

6:47 pm

Eva

wow!

6:48 pm

Eva

so what's your T-day menu?

6:48 pm

VermontMeow

One of the best things about living in Vermont is that neighbors are still neighbors and we take care of each other. I was born here, moved a jillion times on both Coasts and came home to roost about 8 miles from where I started.

6:49 pm

dcseain

house is starting to smell garlicky :)

6:49 pm

Eva

It's an incredible gift to be part of that kind of human web

6:49 pm

VermontMeow

Not bad smell in my book!

6:49 pm

dcseain

yes, VT strikes me as something of one big family.

6:50 pm

Eva

the dish sounds wonderful dc-anything with pine nuts and garlic gets my vote

6:51 pm

Eva

I put up a lot of pesto. Eat it on pretty much everything except dessert

6:53 pm

VermontMeow

DC, one big family might be stretching it a bit, but I will say VT is a more caring, cooperative place than any other place I have lived.

6:53 pm

VermontMeow

DC, one big family might be stretching it a bit, but I will say VT is a more caring, cooperative place
than any other place I have lived.

6:54 pm

VermontMeow

Eva, my husband, an LA man, doesn't eat pesto. I love it but don't have it as much as I would like.

6:54 pm

dcseain

oh, how can one not love pesto.

6:55 pm

Eva

exactly!

6:55 pm

dcseain

gnocchi al pesto is to die for :D

6:57 pm

Eva

I still have some pine nuts saved from 2 years ago before the pine borer made them cost more than platinum

6:57 pm

dcseain

ah, is that why the doubled in price.

6:58 pm

Eva

now I mainly make pesto with walnuts and pecans

6:58 pm

Eva

yes, the pine borer beetle destroyed almost all of the pine trees in New Mexico. But the price has been dropping a bit so maybe they have planted new trees

6:59 pm

dcseain

i do a walnut with parsley and sage pesto sometimes

6:59 pm

cosdem

omg the place is so hot. oven has been on all day

6:59 pm

Eva

cilantro pesto is also wonderful in quesadillas, but not as stable as basil pesto

6:59 pm

dcseain

i use locatelli romano instead of parmagiano reggiano with that pesto, though

7:00 pm

Eva

what have you been cooking cos?

7:00 pm

cosdem

apple pie, pumpkin pie, cookies and a cheeseball

7:00 pm

dcseain

yes, do tell, cos :)

7:00 pm

Eva

I'm too addicted to reggiano for that.

7:00 pm

Eva

yum!

7:00 pm

dcseain

did you capture the cheeseball from orbit?

7:00 pm

cosdem

last year we made dinner. .this year just dessert the bro in law is making dinner this time.

7:01 pm

cosdem

no ?? it's a christmas tree cheeseball lol

7:01 pm

dcseain

7:01 pm

VermontMeow

Wooo hooo! Sounds fabulous, Cos!!!

7:01 pm

cosdem

7:02 pm

dcseain

sounds lovely, cos

7:02 pm

Eva

I did a french pear tart, a blueberry tart, the stuffing, and brined the turkey. guests are bringing Szechuan tofu, salad, and some sort of vegetetarina puff pastry thing.

7:03 pm

cosdem

mother in law is bringing roasted chestnuts and pickle/cream cheese wrapped in ham (its an iowa thing).. and of course there'll be turkey and dressin

7:03 pm

Eva

god it's been a long time since I had chestnuts. The ham/pickle thing I can pass on.

7:04 pm

dcseain

the pickle cream cheese wrapped in ham is tastier than you'd expect.

7:04 pm

Eva

I grew up in NYC before the chesnut blight and in the winter there were street vendors who roasted chestnuts from their carts. I can still remember the smell.

7:05 pm

dcseain

oh, i remember street vendors roasting nuts when i lived in Boston. That does not happen here in DC

7:05 pm

dcseain

nothing like a bag of hot nuts on a cold day :)

7:06 pm

Eva

there was always one outside of the Museum of Natural HIstory.

7:07 pm

Eva

getting tired. big day tomorrow so I think I'll call it a night. Hope everyone has a peaceful day tomorrow-always a dubious proposition when with family(-:

7:09 pm

cosdem

i thought the ham/pickle would be gross but its pretty good

7:09 pm

cosdem

just put last batch of cookie in oven..thank god .. i can turn it off in 10 mins

7:09 pm

dcseain

g'night and a happy thanksgiving to you and yours, Eva

cosdem

negativeneil has stats on his profile, leslie

7:22 pm

cosdem

a link to stats actually.

7:25 pm

lbdawger

LA, the attack page is bogus. MRP says the site is safe, and others have had no problems with it. just click on the button that says ignore warning. it's a google thing

7:26 pm

cosdem

molly disagrees. she says google analytic says it's a software issue i dont know. i use expert though

7:28 pm

lbdawger

i use expert also. haven't had any problems with it. I would assume they are linked.

7:29 pm

cosdem

right. no problems here either. i scan for virus frequently and never an issue.

7:29 pm

lbdawger

yup, we think alike, cos

7:30 pm

Happy ThanksGiving to the USA peeps

7:54 pm

Jacula

I'm exhausted with trying to keep up with Babblers, about half a dozen of them, playing Words with Friends on FB with me. They go at a pace!

7:54 pm

Jacula

Happy Thanksgiving to all those across The Pond.

7:54 pm

herinfernallady

I don't play that as that is one more distraction I don't need

7:54 pm

herinfernallady

O and my STUPID phone deleted all my reminders

7:55 pm

lbdawger

ty herin and Jac for the greetings for our thanksgiving.

7:56 pm

Jacula

Glad I don't use my mobile phone for more than making/recieving calls and texts. I put Â£10 of credit on it about 18 months ago and need to refill it now it's down to Â£1. 8o something.

7:56 pm

herinfernallady

Mine is my land line

7:57 pm

Jacula

Oh, is is Herin? Don't do any fancy stuff on that either. I write reminders on my wall calendar. I'm old-fashioned that way.

7:57 pm

MollyL

Thanks for the Thanksgiving greetings. Whew, I'm glad this only rolls around once a year. I've been in the kitchen all afternoon. : )

7:58 pm

herinfernallady

Hey Molly.

7:58 pm

Jacula

My land line now costs MORE to have than it costs to use and we are seriously thinking of getting rid of it.

7:58 pm

MollyL

Hey Herin

7:58 pm

Jacula

Hi Molly. Must be tough having to to Thanksgiving and then Christmas, then New Year.

7:58 pm

cubsnut

2 left FE5/20 and MU5/24 any clues please

7:58 pm

herinfernallady

Jac we don't have a land line because of the fact we think it is so bloody stupid to pay $40 just to have it connected

7:59 pm

Jacula

Herin - I thought you just said you had a land line?

7:59 pm

VermontMeow

Hi Herin

8:00 pm

herinfernallady

No I said that my phone is my land line

8:00 pm

Jacula

cubsnut - fe5/20 is your thigh bone.

8:00 pm

lbdawger

fe5.20 is a leg bone, cubsnut

8:00 pm

herinfernallady

As in my mobile.

8:00 pm

herinfernallady

Hi Meow

8:00 pm

lbdawger

mu5.24 is mu + latin for king or actor *** Harrison

8:01 pm

jesdraggon

evening all

8:01 pm

Jacula

cubsnut - mu5/24 is just like the work for a sparkly dress material which begins with 'lu'.

8:01 pm

Jacula

Hi Jess.

8:02 pm

herinfernallady

HI Jess

8:02 pm

VermontMeow

In much of Vermont,including where I live we have no cell coverage. Don't miss what you never had.

8:02 pm

Jacula

Herin - we don't call mobile phones land lines here in UK. The land line is the BT line.

8:02 pm

herinfernallady

Jac my mobile is my land line. We call it Land line or Telstra

8:02 pm

Jacula

worD, not work! cubsnut. Sorry.

Jacula

dcs??

8:06 pm

herinfernallady

Hi DC

8:06 pm

MollyL

I'm in the old fashioned corner with Jac. I still have a wall calendar and I use my cell phone for making phone calls. That's it.

8:06 pm

dcseain

yes, jacula?

8:07 pm

Jacula

Oh, the first time finishing Babble, I guess you meant, dcs? LOL

8:07 pm

dcseain

yes indeed :)

8:08 pm

Jacula

Molly - I'm more old-fashioned than you. I use my land line (plugged and wired in BT phone) for making calls and only use the mobile (cell) phone if I have to. I have no desire to fry my brain.

8:09 pm

Jacula

I'm glad you meant finishing Babble, dcs, 'cos the other kind of first time is often a disappointment to most people, from what I've read.

8:10 pm

gapeach

Jacula.....good one....LOL

8:10 pm

gapeach

(I thought the same thing)

8:10 pm

VermontMeow

Herin, it like I said - if you have never had it you don't miss it. I find many mobile/cell phone users incredibly rude in public. And driving and texting is utterly insane. When I was commuting 70 miles a day I would have welcomed one but now that I am retired I'm ok with out one. Our kids and grandkids use them to talk to each other inside their home. Arrrggghhh!

8:12 pm

jesdraggon

8:13 pm

Well done, jes.

8:13 pm

8:13 pm

Congrats, jes!!!!!!

8:13 pm

dcseain

agreed re first times, jac :)

8:14 pm

Jacula

VermontM - have you never received a text from one of yur kids or grandkids from elsewhere in the house, asking for a cup of tea/coffee or whatever, or asking when dinner's ready? That's a real AAARRGHH!

8:16 pm

dcseain

Western butter quarters are so weird compared to the Eastern ones i'm accustomed to.

8:16 pm

VermontMeow

No, I don't have a cell because we have no coverage. But the kids and grands, who all live on the West Coast, do that to each other. Even inside a car together.

8:16 pm

gapeach

May I please have a clue for he5-26? Thanks

8:16 pm

Jacula

We need our landline (UK hardwired phone) connected for 2 reasons. 1) My Mum and other older relatives still haven't got the hang of using their mobile phones. 2) SKY TV needs it. 3) We don't want to fry our brains.

8:16 pm

MollyL

I find most of the whole texting phenomenon extremely silly.

8:16 pm

VermontMeow

dcseain - It was hard for me to get used to that when I first lived on W Coast. Don't fit in standard butter dishes either.

8:17 pm

Jacula

Oh, that was 3 reasons - maybe my brain's fried by Babble already, which is a shame, since I only came here after my Dad died of dementia, to help keep my brain active!:-(

8:17 pm

VermontMeow

Jacula - Landlines are a whole different story. We have a landline.

8:18 pm

Well, I've only been Babbling for a week or so but I can see that I will be a babbling ejit before long. LOL!

8:20 pm

western quarters?

8:21 pm

Jacula

The last time I heard the name 'Concepta' was 'Concepta Hewitt', a barmaid at the Rover's Return, who was mechanic Harry Hewitt's wife in Coronation Street back in the 1960s.

8:21 pm

herinfernallady

Hey anyone I missed I have been doing the thing I have to do to get when you get a new number

8:21 pm

herinfernallady

Concepta that is still me

8:21 pm

Yup, me too. I still know the main phone number of places I worked at 30+ years ago.

8:21 pm

dcseain

butter quarters from the West are shaped differently than the ones here in the East. Shorter in length and taller. 1.5 of their Tbs equals one of ours length-wise

8:22 pm

VermontMeow

Butter quarters are short and fat on the west coast.

8:22 pm

72 Temple Owl

ah, like kellers stubby quarters

8:22 pm

Happy Thanksgiving to all in US I am just back from Washington and Nashville ....... Strange combination

8:50 pm

Jacula

I've been trying to write a poem about the loss of a much-loved pet (specifically a dog) in the light of Haz's Spangle being put to sleep on 21st and another friend's spaniel, same age, the week before. My old dog went on his last journey to the vet's some 15 years ago now, I've never had another dog yet and I only feel ready now to write about the loss. Most of the poem is written but I'll finish it off and edit over the next couple of days, preferably after this horrible cold virus leaves me.

rururocks

hi vermont

8:54 pm

herinfernallady

Sounds like my set. Yes poor darling Spangle

8:55 pm

Jacula

Haz said that the hardest thing to bear at the time was seeing her husband, a giant of a man and also a vet, losing control of his emotions and apologising to his colleagues for doing so. I don't know if he 'did the deed' but I imagine he did as a last act of love and kindness for a much-loved pet. As I said to Haz., 'It's different when it's your own pet.'

8:55 pm

jmcnrick

oh it is hard to see your hubby cry

8:55 pm

Jacula

His colleagues understood that.

8:55 pm

Jacula

jmc - yes, it is.

8:55 pm

VermontMeow

Oh, thats a tough one Jacula. Very ssorry.

8:56 pm

rururocks

IT's hard to lose your "heart" dog.. it is a very great loss

8:57 pm

well i hope haz knows how much everyone's hearts go out to her and her husband

8:57 pm

8:57 pm

rururocks

woof!

8:57 pm

Jacula

Like I said, ruru - it's taken me 15 years (another dog life) to even write about losing my last one. Cats came into my life after that. There'd be another dog about now, but the cat I have would never allow that!

8:57 pm

jmcnrick

i have heard so little of you dog i have forgotten his name

8:58 pm

jmcnrick

ahem that is "your dog"

8:58 pm

My dog was Monty.. he lived 15 and 1/4 years.. I've never experienced a love so deep.. Dylan is my current dog.. he's a great boy.. but it's not Monty.. it can never be again

9:34 pm

MollyL

I don't know. Butter is butter, no matter where it comes from. Douches to douges. And I haven't the faintest what the whole you are dead thing meant. It's kind of Twilight Zone-ish. Mayhap I should pour an Irish.

9:34 pm

jmcnrick

9:40 pm

MollyL

There is definitely some beauty and simplicity in that. I am having an abbreviated version of the family. My daughter in law is in the hospital with a Crohn's flare up so we will be minus her and one of my boys, her husband. WHOOO HOOO JMC FOR FIREWORKS!!!!!

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

9:41 pm

jmcnrick

ty for the whoo hoo

9:42 pm

MollyL

She's a nurse, she knows the drill. It's been a weird year for my family. We have had to cancel a lot of birthdays and holiday stuff for various reasons. I had my boo hoo fest about them not being here tomorrow and got over it.

9:43 pm

jmcnrick

that is how i deal with disappointment too--give myself a private (or not so private cry) and then move on

9:43 pm

jmcnrick

hopefully you are together when it really counts

9:43 pm

jmcnrick

well i think i am going to go read a romance novel and drink some jack and wait for sleep to tiptoe into my boudoir

Hi mrp.

11:08 pm

mrpresident

sorry, was called away to the phone :))
Hi girls and happy thanksgiving day

11:08 pm

mrpresident

wow, you have halloween, thanksgiving and then christmas very close together!! busy time of the year :))

11:09 pm

jillibus

Hello all -- getting ready for the big day?

11:09 pm

jesdraggon

just wandering back through. anything interesting going on?

11:10 pm

jillibus

We had our Canadian Thanksgiving in October

11:11 pm

Nef

Hi everybody. I've slacked off on housework to the point that if my house isn't clean enough; so be it!

11:11 pm

Minveryork

Hello jillibus! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid.

11:12 pm

Minveryork

Hello jessdraggon! How are you? Welcome to the grid.

11:12 pm

Minveryork

Hello Nef! How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle.

11:12 pm

Nef

(Our Thanksgiving is going to be very small this year; just the 6 of us (DH, myself, kids, DIL, and grandson. We are eating out

11:13 pm

jillibus

Eating out sounds like a very good idea, Nef -- we did a lot of that in my NYC days

11:14 pm

jillibus

6 is small?

11:16 pm

jillibus

mrp -- do you have an Australian Thanksgiving in your fall -- ie March-ish?

11:16 pm

Nef

It's kind of strange; but it seems that every time a relative has died in our family (since DH and I married, at least) we've eaten out for the first holiday after the death. It sounds dumb; but it's becoming a tradition it seems. It makes that holiday "different" and the next one (ie: Christmas) so much better

11:17 pm

Nef

6 is very small, jilli. We are used to 10-14 + for Thanksgiving

11:17 pm

jillibus

I guess you'll have to get used to that, Nef.

11:18 pm

mrpresident

we don't have thanksgiving here.

11:18 pm

jillibus

Thanksgiving isn't nearly as big a deal here, Nef -- Christmas is the biggie.

11:19 pm

Nef

yes, jilli; I will have to get used to it. I overheard someone on MPR today say something about when the older generation dies out, one is faced with one's own mortality. I think that that is it for me

11:19 pm

jillibus

Well, mrp, in the US it all has to do with the pilgrims and the welcome they got from the Indians. A bit different in Aus, right?

11:21 pm

mrpresident

too right!

11:21 pm

jillibus

Nef, at my age more and more friends and family are dropping off the perch -- sad, but that's always been the way it is.

11:21 pm

mrpresident

there was good blood between the indigenous people at first, then the free settlers arrived and it all went pear-shaped

11:22 pm

Nef

jilli, I always think that the Canadian Thanksgiving is about a month too early. When I lived in NW MN; the Canadians would come down to the States to shop.

11:22 pm

jillibus

Nef -- our winter arrives earlier than yours, hence October harvests!

11:23 pm

mrpresident

we celebrate Labour Day in October... is in recognition of all Australians who work full time... it is a celebration for the contribution they make to our country

11:24 pm

Nef

very true, jilli; but it still seemed odd to me

11:25 pm

jillibus

mrp, that book I asked you about -- "The Little Black Princess" was so delightful about the Australian indigenous people but so full of currently shocking words. Things are similar here, but without the words.

11:26 pm

jillibus

Our similar Labour Day is in September.

11:26 pm

Nef

Our Labor Day is also in September

11:27 pm

jillibus

When I say things are similar I don't quite mean it.

11:27 pm

mrpresident

and so the free-settler English screwed up the relationship with the indigenous people due to class disparity... and racism... the convicts and mariners did not have issue however. Is amazing our history and how nasty it became.

11:27 pm

mrpresident

understand jilli :))

11:27 pm

jillibus

Nef -- ours is the same as yours.

11:30 pm

jillibus

mrp, that book I mentioned was written in 1929 -- full of love for the indigenous Australians.

11:30 pm

mrpresident

the first fleeters and years of convicts later, they were working side by side with the aboriginal people... it is now very very rare to find a true blue blood aboriginal.

11:31 pm

jillibus

I wish you could get that book -- published in Melbourne. My Canberra cousins actually met the author.

11:31 pm

Nef

Sorry, I was just Googling that book you mentioned, jilli. Is the title "The little black princess of the Never-Never" or something else (I'm finding 2 authors listed for that one

11:31 pm

mrpresident

i will have to look for it jilli

11:32 pm

VermontMeow

I am going to be. Because you do NOT want me to get going about what we (Europeans) did to the indigenous people of the Americas.

11:32 pm

VermontMeow

That said, don't forget to listen to Alice's Restaurant at noon Thursday. Happy Thanksgiving! Good night.

11:33 pm

VermontMeow

Ooops. I am going to be - and going to bed.

11:33 pm

mrpresident

night VM

11:33 pm

Nef

good night and Happy Thanksgiving to you vermontMeow

11:34 pm

jillibus

It was written by Mrs Aeneas Gunn. She didn't even rate her own name back then, just her husband's.

11:34 pm

Nef

It seems I don't have the right title for the book; I'll keep looking

11:34 pm

VermontMeow

Thanks folks. Enjoy the next grid.

11:35 pm

Minveryork

Goodbye VermontMeow! I'll see you tomorrow maybe.

11:35 pm

jillibus

g'night Meow -- prrrrr.

Minveryork

Was able to finish puzzle without feeling like a do4/5 Now he4/5 is a story of clues. When I was little,I had an extremely gr4/8 accident in my bedroom of my ho 4/6. I accidently dropped a knife on my fo 4/7. I was not wearing any sh 4/5s so the tip of knife went into my toe and I bled a lot. My Mom and I had to ho4/8 it on over to the hospital so they could treat me.My mo 6/24 drove like a total maniac beeping her ho 4/5 on the way to hospital.She gunned the engine so hard, I thought that she was going to burn out the mo 5/12. Mom and I were in the waiting room a me 4/5 th5/12 minutes when th4/7 called us in.Didn't like my doctor th 5/12. The doctor asked how I got a knife stuck in my toe. Thought it was a mo 4/5 point, I just wanted him to get the knife out! My doctor was not very sm 6/24 about taking the knife out. He just to4/4 it out with no warning. I thought he could have treated me a little bit sm 8/50. Before I left,he to4/5 me I should be more careful when using knives. I still gr4/7 when I remember the incident. My hubby thought it was a ho 4/6 when I to 4/5 him about it. Sh5/12! My fe 4/7 wants the computer. I'm going to go do some ot 5/12 things.I might be back at the flip I mo 4/5 not. Adios!

11:40 pm

jillibus

Thanks you min! Quite a story!

11:40 pm

Minveryork

yw

11:42 pm

jillibus

I have to quite early tonight and get up early in the morning -- appointment at the local hospital, 8 am, to undergosome spot removal on my chin. :-((

11:42 pm

jillibus

*quit, not quite

11:42 pm

jillibus

Oh phooey, typos already

11:42 pm

Nef

thanks for the story, Min. it is kind of gory, but also interesting

11:43 pm

Nef

good night jilli. I hope all goes well with your procedure

11:43 pm

jillibus

Gnight, nef --did you read about Franksgiving?

11:43 pm

Minveryork

Are you getting it removed with a laser jillibus? Good luck with that. I hope that all goes well with it jillibus.

11:44 pm

jillibus

No, min -- surgery -- it's a bcc

11:44 pm

Nef

no; jilli. Where is that?

11:44 pm

jillibus

and it's a recurrence

11:45 pm

mrpresident

wow, i just got a phone call from my association... i got a badge of honour this month!!

11:45 pm

jillibus

In my profile, nef, with a link.

11:45 pm

Nef

(((jilli))) too much sun over the years?

11:45 pm

jillibus

Oh, WONDERFUL mrp -- you sure deserve one!

11:45 pm

Nef

thanks, jilli. I shall read it!

11:46 pm

Minveryork

Congratulations mrpresident on your badge of honor!

11:46 pm

jillibus

Oh yes, nef , and very fair skin. Bugger.

11:46 pm

mrpresident

the level 1 teams (top teams) are voting me as one of the best referees! (this week anyway - LOL!)

11:47 pm

Minveryork

My dad keeps getting something removed that keeps on coming back.Not sure what the point of removing it all the time if it's just going to keep on coming back

11:47 pm

jillibus

WOW, mrp -- that's the kind of boost you really can use now, right?

11:47 pm

mrpresident

jilli! best of luck with your surgery darling... get everything removed whenever it pops up...

11:48 pm

mrpresident

it is the best kind of boost I can get!! These teams i have been reffing actually think highly of me!?? wow!! that is such a great feeling to be doing my job well!

11:48 pm

jillibus

Thanks, mrp and nef -- it's just minor but on my FACE, dammit.

11:48 pm

Nef

jilli, I have to keep an eye on DH's ears for the ssame reason. He's had a number bcc's removed and I picture him as having chips off his ears if he reaches his 90's

11:48 pm

Minveryork

What do you referee?Didn't know that you were a ref

11:49 pm

Nef

mrp; you really deserve a break right now. What an honor

11:49 pm

jillibus

Nef, i'm also concerned about something on my nose. That would need plastic surgery, gaaa!

11:49 pm

Minveryork

My father's is on the tip of his nose. I never seem to notice it.Maybe because he keeps getting it removed

11:50 pm

mrpresident

min, i referee football (soccer)... all ages and all levels

11:50 pm

mrpresident

is my job :)) and one that I love!

11:50 pm

jillibus

Well, no sense borrowing trouble -- one spot removal at a time, lol!

11:51 pm

Nef

jilli, I hope and pray the nose is "just" a benign keratosis. I'll be think ing of you tomorrow

11:51 pm

jillibus

mrp, I hope you get well paid for your job!

11:51 pm

mrpresident

nef, my son has those! he gets them removed as they pop up

11:52 pm

jillibus

Nef, it's not a keratosis -- more like an active bloodvessel.

11:52 pm

Minveryork

Hey,referee could be a phantom word in today's grid.

11:52 pm

jillibus

lol -- referoo -- an Australian referee?

11:53 pm

mrpresident

i do get paid well... i have to run like a stallion in the bloody rain, keeping up with men that are young and fit... and i like chasing men! so getting paid to keep fit and chase me is pretty awesome! LOL

11:53 pm

Minveryork

LOL jillibus!

11:53 pm

mrpresident

hahaha!! good one jilli!!

11:53 pm

Nef

LOL!

11:56 pm

Nef

225

11:58 pm

jillibus

522

11:58 pm

mrpresident

11:59 pm

Minveryork

Hope not!No time to finish 522 words on Thanksgiving

11:59 pm

jillibus

mrp -- how do you know what clues to put up?

11:59 pm

mrpresident
