4:56 am
carleekat
snuffy was my fav..until everyone could see him..i liked it better when only big birg could see him
4:56 am
negativeneil
Oh yeah. Some of them bark when someone breaks wind in China, I swear. They hear stuff we never could.
4:57 am
carleekat
so doing the grid until am ready to go back to sleep..this not being "busy" thing is going to kill me...
5:00 am
negativeneil
So ruru is in this grid... and a word kind of describing me is, too. :P lol
5:00 am
negativeneil
Or sorry, I mean not describing me. Like, something I'm not, haha! I'm way too tired.
5:00 am
negativeneil
Don't think too hard about it though.
5:01 am
jan
Hmmm...the insomnia crowd arrives.
5:01 am
negativeneil
At 3:01 am? Well... I'm heading back to bed soon.

negativeneil
And hi Jan.. haven't met yet?
5:02 am

Hi carlee and neil...
5:02 am
negativeneil
Afraid, hurshy?
5:02 am
carleekat
is 6 am here...unknown if i willjust get up...or go back to sleep
5:02 am
jan
No, I mostly lurk and noodle around on the grid.
5:02 am
negativeneil
Huh. carlee? If you don't have to get up... sleep!
5:02 am
hurshy
i had my tonsils out tuesday and when i sleep i get very dry plus having really bizarre dreams that are scaring me
5:03 am
carleekat
if i do get up i am making myself a hamburger and fries..i have SOOO had a craving for a hamburger and fries...
5:03 am
negativeneil
Yeah, well nice to meet you Jan.
I see you're on this coast too.
5:03 am
jan
Burgers...they're not just for breakfast anymore.
5:03 am
carleekat
left overs of the anaesthesia hursh....i go through a depression after it myself..lasts a good 2 months
5:04 am
negativeneil
Oh I see hurshy. Not fun.
5:04 am
hurshy
i dunno if it's that anaesthesia or the codeine i have to keep taking now.
5:04 am
hurshy
last night was ok, tonight is bad.
5:04 am
negativeneil
Can that happen carlee? Wow. Didn't know that.
5:04 am
carleekat
i So never want surgery again..so i can completely relate...
5:04 am
negativeneil
Oh yeah. Medications can have weird effects.
5:04 am
negativeneil
Burgers, Jan? Huh?
5:04 am
carleekat
does aromatherapy help at all hursh?..
5:05 am
hurshy
i don't know
5:05 am
carleekat
it does for me neil... 4 surgeries in my life..and 4 bouts of depression first one at age 18
5:05 am
jan
referencing Carlee's cravings...
5:05 am
hurshy
my elephant helps some
5:05 am
negativeneil
My last one was for lunch... and ended up being more trouble than it was worth. See my Dec. 11 update on profile. :P
5:05 am
negativeneil
Oh ok, missed that somehow.
5:06 am
carleekat
i havent had a hamburger ( proper.home made..with proper fries ) in about a year
5:06 am
negativeneil
I see, carlee... hadn't heard that before.
5:06 am
jan
I admit to being a bit squeamish about burgers nowadays, after the e coli business.
5:06 am
negativeneil
Uhhh, yeah. Unless you make them yourself and know they're well done?
5:07 am
hurshy
even if you make yourself... read bittman's latest in the NYT?
5:07 am
carleekat
not sure if is just how my body reacts...doesnt matter... maybe try an aroma therapy spray in your room..or lighting a candle in there a couple hours before bed hursh...might help
5:07 am
jan
I jsut read 'Poisoned" about the e coli outbreak about ten years ago. Scary stuff...
5:07 am
hurshy
i have candles thanks
5:07 am
negativeneil
Ugh. Do I want to Jan? I live right in behind an In-N-Out location. :P It's too handy sometimes.
5:08 am
carleekat
and bust out your anne of green gables ;)
5:08 am
jan
What I've been told is that you have to grind your own burger to be safe. And sear the meat first before grinding.
5:08 am
negativeneil
Like I said... read my Dec. 11 update.
Road-raged in the In-N-Out drive-thru!
5:08 am
negativeneil
Wow. That's just too much work, Jan.
5:09 am
hurshy
grinding own is somewhat better yes and sear first yes that would help but not as much as growing your own cows.
5:09 am
jan
Maybe not, Neil...but I do recommend the book. It's a terrific read, like a detective novel.
5:09 am
jan
Yup, one burger, one cow is the motto I've heard.
5:10 am
hurshy
american level of meat consumption not sustainable anyway
5:11 am
jan
We had friends who raised lambs and got an annual lamb custom cut for us. It was so good--and we knew where the lambs were pastured and wxactly what they ate.
5:11 am
hurshy
that sounds judgmental next to my flag but i'm american just a wannabe brit.
5:11 am
negativeneil
It is, Jan? Guess I'll have to do that one of these days then.
5:12 am
jan
It's true none the less.
5:12 am
hurshy
british meat consumption probably also unsustainable.
5:12 am
carleekat
well i for one am not contributing to that hursh...cant afford it...beef is eaten here about 1ce a month..loads of chicken and i buy shrimp on sale ( insane tht sometimes it is the cheapest meal going but at 5.00 a bag- on sale...frozen) i can feed4-6 on a quick curry and rice
5:12 am
hurshy
chickens are also highly mistreated though.
5:13 am
hurshy
factory farming bad all around.
5:13 am
carleekat
yeap..they are..but as i dont have time to raise my own...it is what it is..and i need to eat...on a budget of about 75.00/ week for myself and my kids...
5:14 am
jan
We use meat more as a condiment than a main dish, so we tend to buy organic and farmer's market. But that's less practical if you have a family to feed.
5:14 am
hurshy
2nd E in 2nd row?
5:15 am
carleekat
no idea hursh..havent got it
5:15 am
jan
Abbrev. for boss
5:15 am
hurshy
codeine seems to interfere with brain function
5:17 am
jan
15 left...and I probably need to go to bed.
5:17 am
jan
It's funny, but no matter the size of the grid, I get to about 20 percent remaining and stall out. So then it's list or quit time.
5:17 am
negativeneil
So does lack of sleep. And I'll have a busy day ahead of me no doubt... family and friends will have something planned for me no doubt. So back to bed with me! Take care all.
5:18 am
jan
Night, neil. Happy birthday to you.
5:20 am
carleekat
night night neil..enjoy your day~
5:22 am
jan
Anyone have the 7?
5:23 am
carleekat
i'm having trouble seeing anythingin this grid... i think it twists the wrong way for me...
5:24 am
hurshy
no 7 or 9 here
5:25 am
carleekat
i think i will go back to sleep myself... hursh..get better...i hope u have a peace filled sleep tonight...
5:25 am

Think Hurshy has taken her sore throat back to the bed, hope she gets some sleep, sounds like nasty post-op stuff going on with her.
6:14 am
Scrabbler
She had her tonsils removed 2 days ago.
6:15 am
Focal
Yes I have been around while she has been discussing that. I used to have dreadful trouble with my tonsils right up to my thirties, never got them removed, and believe it or not they disappeared! Atrophied, said the doc. Amazing.
6:16 am
Scrabbler
Usually they shrink up during puberty.
6:16 am
Focal
I can tell you puberty is a dim and distant memory to me!
6:16 am
Scrabbler
Free clue!
6:17 am
Focal
That wasn't a clue, that was an answer!!! And I have it
6:17 am
Focal
There is a fencing term in there also, word of French origin
6:19 am
Scrabbler
I don't see much in this grid and have 54 to go. I must bring garbage and recyclables to the end of the driveway and then leave for work. Good luck with the grid.
6:20 am
Focal
Thanks Scrabbler, I am off work today, so I will keep going until I get to the half-way point. Have a good day
6:20 am

TOwl: the name of the cookie means literally: Jan who calls out, or Jan who acts out. Related to sailors and their rowdy behaviour when ashore. From that evolved to mean... errrr.... what is that called in english... 'simple folks, just plain people'.

indeed molly,i also have been baking by volume forever,but after some experiments with baking by weight,i find that we tend to use too much flour the old way and often baked goods will come out lighter and fluffier by weight measure

when I broke a rib, a couple of years ago, I already used Oxycontin. I didn't get any additional painkillers. It was hell.

ribs hurt like hell, must breath afterall... but standard treatment is taping and high dose NSAIDs

Rib pain is horrible. I have a very high threshold for pain and when I cracked a rib I was miserable.

als de dagen lengen, gaan de nachten strengen... dutch proverb, means: when the days grow longer, the nights become colder.

because you get those good days.a crisp sunny clear january morning and the ski trails are pristine and all yours,the bright sun making the icicles into diamonds.you look out over the bay and you can see foever,then a break at lunchtime in the warming station with a nice soup and some crusty bread and off you go for a bit of snowshowing and when the day is done you gather round the wood stove with some wine and some friends and you sleep like the dead that night

Poor Sprite. I know how you feel. Been off anti-depressant meds for over three days (not by choice). I am having the WEIRDEST dreams. And mostly dreams. Very little deep sleep. Needless to say, my day time perspective is a little warped right now.

Actually, you don't have to steam the cabbage leaves. If you cover your baking dish with foil, they will cook soft in the oven. Kind of like not boiling lasagna noodles.

carleekat, I was just looking at your recipe in your profile and I was wondering if you could explain the first ingredient, peaches and cream corn. Is that a can of peaches and a can of creamed corn? Or, maybe it is a product that I am not familiar with. I would like to make the recipe. Thanks!

Hi MizHoffle! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
4:49 pm
Minveryork
I have one more word le 4/7 to find. In li4/5 of cluing in the chog, I'll post a story of clues instead. I ni4/9d the idea of doing any house work today&I decided to Babble instead. I'm so fi6/42d on Babble that nothing else ever gets done.Although I should feel pe9/66 for not cleaning, I really don't. Even on busy days when I tell myself to just pe 4/5 at the puzzle, but not do it, I do the grid anyway.What can I say?I have a natural insti5/12 for word games & I use it every day.Hubby thinks that I am an un 5/18 house wife since nothing ever gets done around the house.We aren't un5/12d when it comes to Babble and Farmville. Now I'm going to ex 4/9 Babbleland and go to tu4/4 into NPR while I make pe5/12 a la vodka for dinner. Hope that you've obta4/4ed more words with this story. I will be back later on toni 4/4 to enter my last word for fireworks.

7:26 pm
Dorens
yes molly. stid. you cannot imagine yet. when they go home to far away.... it is too far in the future for you to fathom yet. that is good
7:27 pm
Bugsaw

7:27 pm
lbdawger
i understand all too well, Dorens. do they send pictures regularly? mine don't, they forget about the grandparents up north.
7:28 pm
stidmama
Some days I think the house will never be empty, doren -- and then I remember to the toddler years when I couldn't imagine my kids going off to school without me. I wish yours lived closer so you could visit back and forth the way my sibling and I do with my Mother
7:28 pm
MollyL
Kids are terrible with pictures these days. If I don't look at Facebook, I don't see pictures of mine. Blargh.
