Haha, funny!

1:31 am

I would like to see that rant.

1:31 am

melonheadjujube

my then-husband and some other driver who was with his SO got in an altercation over exit-ramp etiquette. We two women just looked at each other in sisterly exasperation.

1:31 am

melonheadjujube

I'll look for it.

1:32 am

negativeneil

OMG, so much like my situation! Did you read my blog or craig's list post already?!

I skimmed, then read again.

1:35 am

negativeneil

Oh, well that's just the same blog I posted on my website, only re-written slightly to make it a personal appeal to him. :P

1:38 am

melonheadjujube

I like the Craigslist version better. More focus. I used to do one-sentence rants on newsvine. let me see if I can find one.

Yeah, I added a little to it too.

had a real bad day yesterday, but today is better. And you?

5:25 am

grannyrose

doing ok, since juggling my pain meds, having much better time of it, actually like getting up in the morning...real handy when you need to go to work

5:26 am

sprite

that is such good news, and I am so happy for you. :)

5:28 am

grannyrose

sprite, i take my meds an hour before i have to get up....about 30 mins after, i can actually feel my muscles relax, and i have such a lovely snooze for about 30 mins....

5:28 am

sprite

that is a great extra bonus.

5:30 am

grannyrose

* grin and shrug * guess i didn't relise just how much pain i was experiencing....one's brain so gets used to pain, that it switches off.

5:31 am

sprite

that is very true. I remember visiting the doctor and she suggesting pain meds. I said, I am just so doggone tired all the time, I can handle the pain ok. And she laughed and said: "How much energy you think goes into handling the pain? No wonder you are exhausted."

5:33 am

grannyrose

yup, so true...we just don't relise how much energy we are puting into tolerating pain...absolutely exhausting. my GP can't work out why i'm not curled up in a foetal position in the corner of a room, screaming.

5:34 am

sprite

yeah, mine said about the same. And she said, that combined with the ptss, most people would have given up long ago. I was actually praised for still being alive, lol.

5:35 am

grannyrose

lol, same he4. guess we are 2 of a kind. kindred spirits, yeah?

5:36 am

sprite

absolutely,rose, and in more ways than our health :) Love you.

it is good to have friends. Makes all the difference.

5:38 am

grannyrose

and one day, God willing, we will meet physically, and be able to hug and cry together

5:39 am

sprite

oh that would be so grand. If I ever get rich, I am gonna do a babble tour, I swear.

5:40 am

grannyrose

lol, just wait til i retire, then i am doing the babble tour, not long, about 5 to 7 years....

5:41 am

sprite

oh great! Looking forward to meeting you then :)

5:44 am

JBV

hi sprite - I have to get moving, too - today is the last day of class - I'm bringing candy for the "kids" -

7:59 am

JBV

7:59 am

hi JBV :) Have a grand day with the kids

8:00 am

8:00 am

Triffles! *huggles*

8:00 am

JBV

it's been great, sprite - the "kids" by the way are college juniors and seniors

8:00 am

rubyfoo

all the more reason to bring them treats!

8:01 am

rubyfoo

how are you, trif?

8:01 am

sprite

hehehe I thought as much. But just as much into sweets as real kids, I bet.

8:01 am

JBV

8:01 am

JBV

8:03 am

rubyfoo

trying to look on the bright side; there are still roses hanging on

8:03 am

sprite

I usually hate december. But this year, I have suggested we celebrate in another way, and all agreed, and now we are having fun so far.

8:03 am

Trifioso

wow sprite, that sounds great

8:04 am

rubyfoo

sounds like a good plan, sprite!

8:04 am

sprite

I finally realised I do lots of things I hate every year again... silly, if you stop and think.

8:05 am

Trifioso

but traditions long held, even if hated, can be hard to change

8:06 am

Trifioso

my rocking minister did a great sermon about the very topic last week.

8:06 am

MollyL

Aw Ruby, sorry your boy can't make it for the holidays.

8:06 am

rubyfoo

once we stopped having trees and I gave away many of the hand-crafted ornaments, I felt a great relief! It was always too much work and mess

8:06 am

sprite

yes, that is true. And you can never make everybody happy. But it pays to take action to making things better. We had the most brilliant Sinterklaas celebration ever, and without any presents.

8:06 am

sprite

hi Molly

8:06 am

rubyfoo

ty molly, but I'm realy glad he got the job, following his music for 3 years was nice, but I was afraid that his technological skills would become passe

8:07 am

sprite

gratz on the new job for him, ruby

8:07 am

MollyL

If he can't come, having a new job is a good reason why

8:07 am

rubyfoo

amen!

8:08 am

MollyL

And this way, you can just party around with your boyfriends for the holidays. : P

8:08 am

8:12 am

Trifioso

8:12 am

MollyL

There is an echo in here : )

8:12 am

8:12 am

MollyL

Do you have more of the word that made you giggle?

11:42 am

uusue2

bichon - here are some viewing hints for the meteors - http://tinyurl.com/26buqt3 - usually meteor showers are better after midnight but this one will be best earlier in the evening before the moon comes up, look northeast near the horizon

11:43 am

crosshair

sue,do you remember that big shower in early fall of 93?

11:43 am

crosshair

was amazing you got to see different colours as they burnt up and had a sharp eye

jillibus

sue, I live alone but have wonderful neighbours. I;ll probably need some home help for a while, though -- I'm learning how to hop with a walker.

11:54 am

uusue2

ah, I've used a walker (although I was partially weight bearing at the time) - they can be life savers. Hope you don't have stairs!

11:55 am

jillibus

yes, crossy, there are pins in the ankle. The surgeon was here this morning and said my bones are so thuin it was like putting screws in an egg.

11:57 am

Angelsong

jilli, I am very familiar with walkers. I hope you recover quickly

11:58 am

uusue2

sounds like you are lucky they were able to repair it, jilli! Don't fall any more! (this is now my father's mantra)

11:59 am

jillibus

I have a couple of steps to get into the house but then it's all on one floor. I wish my doors were wider so that I could use a chair though.

12:00 pm

jillibus

sue, this was caused by slipping on icy steps outside my neighbours' house after a lovely dinner party.

12:01 pm

uusue2

ah yes, my dad fell on the ice too (talking to the heating oil delivery guy).

12:01 pm

cybernan

*!* ta da *!* -- what a marathon!

12:02 pm

uusue2

yay, nan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12:02 pm

Dorens

well at least it was a lovely party, jilli. But it could have happened anywhere - ice can be so treacherous

12:02 pm

jillibus

those steps didn't look icy

12:02 pm

cybernan

anyone want clues before I leave?

12:03 pm

Dorens

no thanks, but yay nan

12:03 pm

12:04 pm

jillibus

oh good -- that makes a huge difference. But of course here there's no

12:05 pm

12:09 pm

uusue2

thanks, bichon, I've seen it (there is a big news conference tomorrow morning at 7 which I plan to watch)

12:09 pm

uusue2

I have also heard some "inside" rumors

12:09 pm

MollyL

Everyone needs to get Yak Trax. Strap on traction for your shoes.

12:10 pm

uusue2

I have some, Molly, they are annoying (to me) but can be a lifesaver if you have to walk on ice

12:11 pm

MollyL

I know what you mean about annoying Sue, but I would rather be annoyed than slip and fall.

12:13 pm

joym999

Snape, Snape, Severus Snape...

12:13 pm

uusue2

I'll have to look at them again if I want to walk to work all winter; last winter I quit walking after falling twice but I've been getting more exercise and am stronger now

12:14 pm

uusue2

and speaking of walking to work, I should do that now - grades are done but I need to get started on next semester's courses

12:14 pm

uusue2

bbl!

12:16 pm

bichon

I use Yak Trax too Molly. Saved my butt many times

12:19 pm

MollyL

Caffeine can abort a migraine.

2:57 pm

Aloyisius

interesting! she loves coffee but is afraid it contributes to her problem..

2:58 pm

Scrabbler

She can have decaf. The caffeine issue is when one's usual ingestion drops off--> migraine.

9:14 pm

My grandson is the only one for both sides. I've been told that her mother is going to buy all sorts of things; I told my DIL that I won't do that but will pay for the ECFE classes that he likes (and she needs) (ECFE= Early childhood and family education)

9:15 pm

Nef

hi Jen

9:16 pm

Nef

DH is having his knee fixed (hopefully) on Friday; it's a torn meniscus and they will trim out the garbage (out pt. procedure)

9:17 pm

lbdawger

9:18 pm

Fireworks

9:18 pm

lbdawger

i blew my meniscus 20 some years ago and never had anything done. it only hurts when i do too much walking or standing in one place...like baking. I'll be fi4 in a few days.

9:18 pm

Nef

I give educational stuff; and lots of time and love. When he's here; I give him 100% of my attention for almost the whole time

9:18 pm

lbdawger

whoooo hoooooo WHT!!

9:19 pm

JenMO16

9:19 pm

Nef

YAY, wht!!! WTG!!!!

9:20 pm

wht

Oh, I started this afternoon while I was at work.

9:20 pm

Nef

I had 1 meniscus removed and one repaired back in 1996 and 1998. I'll be darned if I can tell which is which; but it sure made life a lot better when they were fixed

9:20 pm

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

HI Jess.

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

I am making picnic food for tonight

10:21 pm

jesdraggon

10:21 pm

herinfernallady

Well if I didn't boil the hell out of the lentils

10:21 pm

mrpresident

10:21 pm

mrpresident

hi jes :) how you doing?

10:22 pm

jesdraggon

bruce made s'more pies :)

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

We have carols in the park tonight and it is one of the big events in the area

10:22 pm

herinfernallady

O YUM Jess

10:22 pm

mrpresident

pies in the USA are generally sweet filling?

10:26 pm

herinfernallady

Thanks for the list

10:26 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, usually sweet.

10:26 pm

jesdraggon

if they're meat filled, they're called pasties, not pies.

10:27 pm

herinfernallady

Wow can lentals be any more stinky

10:27 pm

mrpresident

ah, thanks

10:27 pm

jesdraggon

is this not the same in australia?

10:27 pm

mrpresident

pies come filled with everything

10:27 pm

herinfernallady

No it a pie is a pie regardless of it being meat or fruit

10:27 pm

jesdraggon

huh

10:28 pm

mrpresident

a pastie is usually a vegetable filled square of filo

10:28 pm

herinfernallady

A pie is a pie - the filling be it meat or fruit still is a pie.

10:28 pm

mrpresident

3.14 is pie... write is backward

10:29 pm

mrpresident

i love that little fact :)) and so does my son

10:29 pm

herinfernallady

A pastie or Cornish Pastie is veggie filled pastry

10:29 pm

jesdraggon

i guess that's not entirely true. we have chicken pot pie...

10:29 pm

jesdraggon

so meat pies might be "pot pie" instead of pie or pastie

10:29 pm

herinfernallady

But that is in a pot. It just has a lid yes?

10:30 pm

mrpresident

pot pie is just a lidded pastry

10:30 pm

mrpresident

like shepherd's pie or cottage pie

10:30 pm

jesdraggon

depends on who's making them... sometimes pastry in a dish, with flling, and pastry over, sometimes pastry in a dish with bread over filling

10:30 pm

jesdraggon

usually made in single servings though, not a pie plate

10:31 pm

herinfernallady

A pie is well pastry on the bottom and then there is a filling then there is alid

10:34 pm

jesdraggon

ok. well, in this case, it's graham cracker crust, with a layer of chocolate and a layer of marshmallow :)

10:34 pm

mrpresident

spew sprain

10:35 pm

jesdraggon

yes, but put them in the other box :)

10:35 pm

mrpresident

sorry !! how did that happen?

10:35 pm

mrpresident

oh, i hit space instead of enter key

10:35 pm

mrpresident

sorry again

10:36 pm

herinfernallady

Jess is it just chocolate?

10:36 pm

jesdraggon

it's graham cracker crust, with a layer of chocolate and a layer of marshmallow :)

10:37 pm

herinfernallady

The chocolate i mean is it just melted choc and fluff on top?

10:37 pm

jesdraggon

uhm, i think it's a dark chocolate pudding, but it was pretty firm.

10:38 pm

herinfernallady

Jello?

10:38 pm

jesdraggon

not like a silk pie

10:38 pm

jesdraggon

no, he made it from scratch, no mix

10:38 pm

mrpresident

Maddie was telling me that Taylor Swift loves our country, cause she can't get our meat pies in the USA??

10:39 pm

herinfernallady

mrpresident

10:45 pm

herinfernallady

Those pies have 15%

10:47 pm

mrpresident

in the filling? or as a whole?

10:47 pm

herinfernallady

in the filling

10:47 pm

mrpresident

20% meat in fillings is typical... so 15% is low!

10:48 pm

herinfernallady
