2:42 am

Jivingjenny0

any clues for the 8s please

2:42 am

dart001

ca 8...what you have when you are shopping at a big sale in a store

2:43 am

VolleymomDee

I think so, too, plus tonight we received an email "checking in" from the realtor we used last year... we knew it was coming, but had to think how to respond and tell her we weren't using her for a second year

2:43 am

vashongin

good luck on the house dee

2:43 am

dart001

un 8 ...not off kilter...or a pinball machine that you are still playing on

2:45 am

dart001

2:45 am

VolleymomDee

wow got you off the hook; that had to be a relief

2:47 am

dart001

company had a list for us to choose from...they had to be in the top so many percent of sales in the area just to make the list (none of our friends were even close to being on that list)

2:48 am

Jivingjenny0

got the 8s at last, thanks

2:49 am

dart001

wtg jen

2:50 am

VolleymomDee

that totally makes sense; and it prevented probs with your friends .... very, very fortunate. This switch will have repercussions... just hope they aren't too huge. We haven't he5 a peep from her since the end of Oct... now all of a sudden she contacted us... we wonder if she he5 a rumor that we had made an offer on a property.... timing just seems iffy

2:51 am

dart001

lot of times they have extensive contacts.....he4 things thru the grapevine

2:51 am

VolleymomDee

I think that may be what happened, plus this is a small town with small town gossip

2:52 am

VolleymomDee

fireworks ty so very much... I would never have finished tonight w/o your help...

2:53 am

dart001

wtg volley

2:53 am

VolleymomDee

Tomorrow is inspection. We get to be there, so I can do some measuring... still feels surreal, so maybe not so much after that.

2:53 am

grannyrose

WTG DEE!!!! right behind you with 3 to go

2:53 am

VolleymomDee

ty dart and yay granny!!!

2:53 am

dart001

that was the part we missed...our agent went with the inspector for us....since we were so far away

2:54 am

VolleymomDee

that was fantastic! Most of the realtors here refuse to do that (perhaps a liability issue).

2:54 am

westford

been working on this grid but came up in time to say yay and almost yay to dee and rose.

2:55 am

VolleymomDee

LOL, ty west.

2:55 am

VolleymomDee

West, I just saw that your mom is ill. When did that happen?

2:55 am

dart001

gran...are the letters left for you...the ones we already listed?

2:55 am

westford

from what you've said dee the inspector should give the house a perfect rating

2:56 am

VolleymomDee

It will be interesting. He is an amazing inspector, and hubby really respects him. We don't expect much, but we know he has to find something. It will be interesting what he comes up with.

2:56 am

VolleymomDee

brb forgot to put list in my profile.

2:57 am

westford

just yesterday dee..she was at the docs on Fri but he ordered an xray and sent her home with some antibiotics

Do they think she has pneumonia?

2:59 am

westford

thank you so much dee !!

2:59 am

dart001

2:59 am

VolleymomDee

LOL dart, glad you know how to finish the grid LOLL

3:00 am

grannyrose

might have finished earlier if i had babbled ALL the letters. ;(

3:00 am

westford

no..she apparently does not have fluid in her lung..they think it's something outside that's causing her to have trouble breathing

3:00 am

VolleymomDee

yw west, least I can do

3:00 am

VolleymomDee

maybe pleurisy

3:00 am

westford

I'm more worried that she'll pick up something in the hospital

3:01 am

VolleymomDee

Isn't that the truth. I almost hate visiting folks in the hospital.

3:01 am

dart001

haven't used a list for a few months now...just nice to have one on the days i travel in case i get stuck....did that 300 + grid the other day in about 3 hrs

3:01 am

westford

I'll be sure to sit next to you on the next plane ride dart lol

3:02 am

VolleymomDee

That was really amazing, dart. I am jealous that you can do it so quickly.

3:02 am

grannyrose

had a review with my cardiologist on tuesday.

3:02 am

dart001

morewords gets a workout down the stretch

3:02 am

VolleymomDee

Hospitals don't seem to be cleaned like they used to. When I had surgeries and when our daughter was born, there was always someone around cleaning.... sure don't see that any more.

3:03 am

VolleymomDee

How did that go granny?

3:03 am

westford

did he say you have a big beautiful heart rose?

3:03 am

grannyrose

all good, except for when i go in for my total knee replacement....he wants me on 48 hours cardiac monitoring.

3:03 am

VolleymomDee

I love morewords.

3:03 am

grannyrose

awwww westy, what a lovely thing to say

3:03 am

dart001

you want to pick up something...go to a hospital

3:04 am

westford

last time she was in she picked up the dreaded c-dif and had it for months

3:04 am

westford

well rose, it's true !!

3:05 am

VolleymomDee

really disgusting what you do pick up there

3:05 am

westford

and now they are saying she's a carrier even though she hasn't had it for months

3:05 am

grannyrose

i have to let you all know, i had a strange episode last week, apparently became very confused, and himself said i didn't know him. maybe a little TIA. having carotid doppler done next tuesday.....will let you know if they find a brain

3:06 am

westford

sure they will

3:06 am

grannyrose

westy, that could be true, mother mac no longer has MRSA in her lungs, but she is a carrier.

3:06 am

westford

and you're brave too !!

3:07 am

VolleymomDee

my dad had tia's for many years... odd experience for him... I am sure your hubby will be glad they are checking everything out

3:07 am

grannyrose

* shrugs * a little scared i guess.

3:07 am

VolleymomDee

Was it in the evening, rose?

3:08 am

grannyrose

yes, dee

3:08 am

westford

once when we were first married I woke up, looked at my husband and said 'what is your name?' he said Jon and I said 'Jon who?'

3:08 am

grannyrose

lol, westy

3:08 am

westford

the next night he wore his ID badge to bed lol

3:08 am

VolleymomDee

maybe overtired or blood sugar was whacky at the end of the day

3:08 am

grannyrose

rofl

3:09 am

VolleymomDee

lol westy

3:09 am

grannyrose

hmmm, good point, dee.

3:09 am

westford

I think the doc will recommend another cruise rose

3:09 am

VolleymomDee

I know blood sugar swings can do that

3:10 am

grannyrose

ooooohhhh, like that diagnosis even better, westy

3:10 am

VolleymomDee

I vote for another cruise

3:10 am

grannyrose

i did get a rather stern telling off, for taking care of everyone else, and not myself....

3:10 am

VolleymomDee

I asked my rheumatologist if he would write a prescription for a pool, and he just laughed.

3:11 am

westford

do you have the space to put one in at the new house dee?

3:12 am

grannyrose

dee, when he stops laughing, tell him i want a prescription for a pool, too. he might bulk bill us...lol

3:12 am

vanillaslice

hi ev1 is the first 8 ca?

3:12 am

westford

hi van yes it is

3:13 am

grannyrose

hey vanilla

3:13 am

vanillaslice

ty been trying that and havent found it yet

3:13 am

westford

compound word

3:13 am

VolleymomDee

LOL sounds like a good idea granny. I'm not sure west. The back of the house faces a pond. There is probably room, but I think we are going to just get a hot tub, instead. Hubby isn't keen on all the work involved with a pool, so we are thinking we won't do that... but we'll see after we have been there awhile and after this stupid house sells

3:14 am

westford

a hot tub sounds like just the ticket

3:14 am

VolleymomDee

Might actually be more helpful; warm water; can use it more months than a pool...

3:14 am

westford

pools are a lot of work..unless you have cabana boys

3:15 am

dart001

you can go into the tub during the winter....and then jump and roll in the snow...and hop back in the tub

3:15 am

VolleymomDee

LOL...

3:15 am

VolleymomDee

There you go... probably without the rolling in the snow.

3:15 am

dart001

3:15 am

VolleymomDee

Haven't had enough snow this winter to roll in it ever.

3:15 am

vanillaslice

3:15 am

dart001

night gran

3:16 am

VolleymomDee

3:16 am

westford

bye rose..you take care of yourself !!

3:16 am

dart001

3:16 am

westford

no not puss..donkey vehicle

3:17 am

vanillaslice

tyvm

3:17 am

westford

lol dart and snap dee !!

3:17 am

VolleymomDee

We have been talking about storms here, too... thinking this might be a bad year with all of this goofy weather... had our air on for a bit this afternoon while we were packing.

3:17 am

VolleymomDee

snap west

3:17 am

westford

crazy crazy weather all over

3:17 am

dart001

van...ca 8...what you have to push around if you go shopping at a big sale

3:18 am

dart001

be 72 here thursday...then high of 45 on friday

3:18 am

westford

snow and sleet here though not much

3:19 am

westford

waiting for the big blizzard to come in May

3:19 am

VolleymomDee

really strange... was high 60's here today and supposed to be freezing tonight... wonder if this is a cycle or if next winter will be the same

3:19 am

VolleymomDee

probably will west

3:20 am

westford

I wish you perfect weather when you move dee

3:21 am

dart001

i'm enjoying this one...after our super hot summer in '11...and 52 years of ,for the most part, cold as hell and snowy winters in MN

3:21 am

westford

there's nothing colder than winters in MN

3:21 am

VolleymomDee

ty vm; just pray for a quick buyer when we get the sign in the yard :)

3:21 am

VolleymomDee

I bet you are, dart.... a really nice change for you.

3:22 am

dart001

could actually get used to it :)

3:22 am

westford

to put your house up and not have to keep it in showing mode will be such a treat dee

3:23 am

dart001

are you going to show it empty....or have someone stage it

3:24 am

VolleymomDee

West, you totally get it!!! Well, we staged the heck out of it last year, and it didn't sell, so as of today, I think we will show empty.... that may be subject to change, but at this point, I am sick of the whole process....

3:25 am

VolleymomDee

The rooms will look huge. I used to gripe about storage, but as we are clearing out closets, I am seeing just how huge they are (even compared to the new one)...

3:25 am

dart001

we didn't put ours up for sale until everything was moved out...then i stayed and painted a few rooms and got some new carpeting etc done

3:25 am

VolleymomDee

Did you stage or show empty?

3:26 am

westford

curb appeal helps too

3:26 am

dart001

empty

3:26 am

dart001

curb appeal is huge...if they drive up and don't like the appearance...it is an uphill battle

3:26 am

VolleymomDee

I think that is probably what we will do... I can't decide if I am going to have carpets cleaned for the umpteenth time or not...

3:27 am

VolleymomDee

We have been told our curb appeal is strong.

3:27 am

westford

and that river is such a plus too

3:28 am

VolleymomDee

Exterior is in great condition; I don't know about flowers this year though with the goofy weather. Plus and a minus... we are really going to miss the setting, but some folks don't like it at all. If they like nature, they will love it here.

3:28 am

westford

the perfect family will see it and want to buy it

3:28 am

VolleymomDee

Sure wondering where they are, west...

3:29 am

VolleymomDee

Keep thinking that we just found our perfect house, so maybe it will sell quickly...

3:29 am

westford

Spring will bring out the buyers

3:29 am

VolleymomDee

I really don't want my hubby to have to stress over 2 properties, so praying that it goes right away... he would be so happy.

3:30 am

dart001

repainted all of the trim and garage door....had some gold metal lights and house numbers, spray painted them black and they looked great....took some white touch up paint to some of the window parts that were hard to clean...seal-coated the driveway.

3:30 am

VolleymomDee

Would confirm to him that we made the right choices :)

3:31 am

westford

I'm sure you did dee..this new house sounds perfect

3:31 am

VolleymomDee

The only thing he didn't do was touch up some of the windows... have "encouraged" that, but not sure I can talk him into a paintbrush...he hates tedious painting...

3:33 am

VolleymomDee

The other day, hubby said, "If I sat down and drew our perfect house, it would be almost identical to this one." It was odd when we walked in the front door - first time we actually felt like this was our home... I have heard others say that, but it had not happened to both of us before now.

3:33 am

dart001

our agent even had us power-washing the overhang etc...said to imagine you were the buyer and told us to look at everything they would see when they got out of the car and walked up to the house...and the stuff they would see right away when they came through the front door

3:34 am

westford

that's so true dart

3:34 am

VolleymomDee

Definitely agree with that. First impressions are critical.

3:34 am

dart001

we changed the light fixture the hung over the informal table..you could see that right away when you came in

3:35 am

westford

our realtor said windows must sparkle inside and out..we hired someone..we had 47 windows in that house

3:35 am

VolleymomDee

Do you feel like you got your money back for all of that?

3:35 am

dart001

was he talking about your present house...or the new one?

3:35 am

VolleymomDee

We may need to do the windows again...

3:35 am

VolleymomDee

The new one

3:36 am

westford

winter is hard on windows

3:36 am

VolleymomDee

I really don't want to put one more dime in this one.. it's old.. It's in great shape, but it's old...

3:37 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:37 am

westford

but it has been taken care of and that counts

3:37 am

dart001

hi ruby

3:37 am

westford

good morning ruby

3:37 am

VolleymomDee

hey ruby!! Thanks to dart, there is a list in my profile.

3:38 am

VolleymomDee

I think we "over took care of it"... put too much money in it, and won't recoup it. Fine line between good maintenance and improvements, and spending silly money.

3:39 am

westford

but that was for your pleasure so not so silly

3:39 am

westford

how old is the house?

3:40 am

dart001

we were kind of stuck for pricing the home...since we were in the buyout program, we had to go with their numbers...if we thought we could get more...we didn't have to use their program...so don't know if we got our money out or not...it did sell quick

3:40 am

rubyfoo

it is nice to see you all and interesting, this talk of houses

3:40 am

VolleymomDee

Hubby built it in 1979. New mechanicals, roof, stove top, double ovens, microwave, flooring within last 8 years.

3:41 am

VolleymomDee

It sure did, dart. I think you did really well.

3:41 am

westford

that doesn't sound old to me..our house was built in 1901

3:42 am

dart001

the touch up paint and spray paint was cheap...and made a huge difference....I guess i just wanted it to look good when we left it. Spent 4 days scrubbing and refinishing the deck which the agent said we didn't have to do, but when he saw the results he was glad I did it.

3:42 am

VolleymomDee

lol lots of character...

3:43 am

VolleymomDee

Wonder how many hours of labor you put in getting everything spic and span

3:43 am

dart001

1901...wow.....last house was 1988..this one 2004 lol

3:43 am

rubyfoo

our house looked really awful when we bought it -- no landscaping, dingy inside and out. We did a huge amount of remodelling, but now, after these 15 or 16 years (can't remember), it is starting to look shabby inside

3:44 am

rubyfoo

but the garden is wonderful!

3:44 am

rubyfoo

but will never sell

3:44 am

dart001

was there for about 3 weeks doing that stuff...probably 8-10 hrs a day

3:44 am

westford

sure is ruby thanks to you

3:44 am

rubyfoo

<-- too old

3:45 am

rubyfoo

they'll have to carry me out!

3:45 am

VolleymomDee

LOL ruby

3:45 am

westford

the house we're in now ..1950 but we're slowly remodeling

3:45 am

rubyfoo

if anybody ever wants help with garden design, I'd love to help

3:46 am

VolleymomDee

Never ending with a house... always something you want to do or have to do...

3:46 am

rubyfoo

we did the remodeling before we left Miami

3:46 am

westford

such a beautiful location too ruby

3:46 am

rubyfoo

with dogs and rough housekeepers all these years, the wall papers have taken a real beating

3:46 am

VolleymomDee

Where are you now, ruby?

3:46 am

westford

no kidding..came home from shopping on Sat and found water in the basement

3:46 am

rubyfoo

I am lucky to have found this place when we did, when the dollar was still worth something

3:46 am

rubyfoo

it would be out of reach now.

3:47 am

westford

ice maker on fridge sprung a leak

3:47 am

VolleymomDee

Yuk on that west! Any damage?

3:47 am

rubyfoo

dee: we are near to Annecy in the French Alps, between the cliffs and the lake

3:47 am

dart001

think it is time for bed...night all..good luck volley

3:47 am

rubyfoo

good night, dart

3:47 am

westford

sleep well dart and thanks for the help

3:47 am

dart001

annecy is where the tour de france rode around the lake a few years back?

3:48 am

westford

3:48 am

rubyfoo

our appliances are all finicky and not even that old

3:48 am

westford

luckily it had just started

3:48 am

rubyfoo

yes, there was a time trial here and also, one year, they road right past our garden and I put all kinds of signs on the hedge and a bicycle on the lawn

3:49 am

VolleymomDee

3:51 am

rubyfoo

3:51 am

westford

so sorry to hear that

3:51 am

rubyfoo

the good news is that I am forced to be more active, getting my lazy butt off the couch

3:51 am

westford

are you still trudging up the stairs with trays?

3:52 am

rubyfoo

only his breakfast, he comes down for cocktails, lunch and dinner

3:52 am

westford

that's good

3:52 am

rubyfoo

and when he canceled his "kine" appointment, I went for a massage in his stead

3:53 am

westford

good idea !

3:53 am

rubyfoo

he wanted to pay for it; I thought that was stupid

3:53 am

rubyfoo

it wasn't anything special, but what the heck

3:54 am

westford

nice and relaxing?

3:54 am

rubyfoo

yes, and my back is always sore anyway, so I am going again today

3:54 am

rubyfoo

rubyfoo

4:06 am

4:06 am

4:07 am

4:07 am

Flask1

4:07 am

westford

lol

4:07 am

rbud

the pinball wizard

4:08 am

lilliann

flask look at the clues at 4.06 just before you spoke

4:08 am

rubyfoo

ty you, got the 8, will tackle the rest later

4:08 am

rbud

now trying to figure out where to hide the rest of the money, since hubby turned it over to me now to caretake.

4:09 am

rbud

as son took it right out of his pocket without waking him, guess I'd better be devious myself

4:09 am

lilliann

what about your knicker draw rbud?

4:10 am

Flask1

not getting it lilliann

4:10 am

lilliann

blimey, he's a good pick pocket!!

4:10 am

rbud

oh, too easy, he knows I'm fond of hiding things in my dresser and other drawers. think I'll put it under the mattress and sleep right on it. :)

4:11 am

lilliann

when you push something to one side you do this flask, after the un that is

4:11 am

Flask1

keep on your person.....

4:11 am

rbud

well, hubby was a bit tipsy, as usual.

4:11 am

rbud

I don't drink, so I'm a bit more on top of things.

4:12 am

westford

put it inside a curtain rod

4:12 am

rbud

oooh, I like that!

4:12 am

rbud

but need bigger ones for that.

4:12 am

lilliann

that'sa good idea west

4:13 am

westford

drapery rod with the ends that come off

4:13 am

rbud

I just want to put it in the bank, but hubby doesn't want them knowing he has it. he's one of those who would rather bury his cash in the woods than let the government know about it.

4:13 am

westford

don't trust banks much any more

4:14 am

westford

how about a steel box you can lock

4:14 am

lilliann

my great nan was like that...she had money under the floor boards and under the mattress

4:14 am

rbud

afraid it will affect his disability. he got a small inheritance and is carrying a bunch around.

4:14 am

rbud

kid would take off with the box! :P

4:15 am

westford

yeah probably right

4:15 am

westford

so he's just helping himself to his inheritance a little early?

4:16 am

rbud

need a floor safe set in the concrete out in his shop, I told him, but he put in in-floor heating coils, so can't poke a hole in it.

4:16 am

rbud

oh, the kid? he's not getting our money, lol, we plan to spend it all! he needs to get a job, the shiftless lout.

4:17 am

westford

is he the one who had the really bad headaches a while ago?

4:18 am

rbud

hard even for a mother to love these days. he's stolen our money, takes our cars (no license, lost that), steals stuff he can sell - we'd throw him out but we fear that would just set him off, be a real challenge to him.

4:18 am

rbud

yep, that's him. no more headaches, just for us, not him, lol!

4:19 am

rbud

we had him arrested and they made a deal with him and had him back home within a couple of hours, sigh...

4:19 am

westford

he needs a good woman to straighten him out..and I don't mean his mother

4:19 am

westford

how old is he ?

4:19 am

rbud

he's due for a little jail time coming up soon, I think that's partly why he cares so little about what happens at the moment.

4:19 am

rbud

he's 20.

4:20 am

westford

we had a 20 year old son once..I feel your pain

4:20 am

rbud

can't tell him anything, he knows it all, he insists. and we're idiots.

4:20 am

westford

now he's 40, has a wife and 2 kids and is just the best thing

4:20 am

rbud

that

4:21 am

lilliann

perhaps that would make him grow up and reassess his life and do something worthwhile with it rbud

4:21 am

rbud

that's what I keep hoping, that he'll come out of it someday, and not be in jail for life when he realizes.

4:21 am

lilliann

i'm sorry to hear about all the crap he's putting you and hubby through

4:22 am

rbud

just hope he lives to grow up, sigh.

4:23 am

westford

you hang in there it is going to get better

4:24 am

rbud

yeah, it's hard on our relationship, hubby says I coddle him, and it's my fault he's like he is, I see him as having very low self-esteem from a lifetime of his dad picking on him and criticizing, not sure whose fault it is. don't really think it's anyone's, lots of kids in this town are like him.

4:24 am

lilliann

only he can make that decision tbud.at the end of the day, as parents we try our best at bringing our children up the right way, once they get to adult hood all we can do is hope they will make all the right decisions

4:25 am

rbud

jobless, no license, no future plans, taking drugs - the town is full of them.

4:26 am

lilliann

the problem is, we can't live their lives for them! i'm sure everything will work out in the long run

4:26 am

Flask1

true lillian.....!

4:26 am

westford

kids all have it hard these days

4:26 am

rbud

yes, I agree, lillian, just wish it wasn't making it so hard for the two of us to get along.

4:27 am

lilliann

in some ways i think they do west but in other ways, i think kids have it easy

4:28 am

rbud

hubby was recently officially diagnosed with muscular dystrophy, and is having a hard time - already depressed about it and now this with our kid, it's making him not a happy fellow (like he used to be)

4:28 am

rbud

hard for me to figure out how to deal with it all.

4:29 am

westford

you come here and talk to friends rbud

4:29 am

rbud

ah, my babble support group! :)

4:29 am

westford

that's us

4:31 am

lilliann

sorry to hear about your husband rbud.it's got to be tough for him and you.

4:31 am

westford

on a happier note lilli our granddaughter (age 24 ) and her girlfriend will be visiting Scotland at the end of March..she's dreamed of going forever

4:31 am

lilliann

ahh, lovely west.are they going on a coach trip?

4:31 am

westford

don't know much about the trip but I do know they will be in Aberdeen

4:31 am

rbud

thanks, lil. I'm an optimist, I just keep hanging in there hoping for the best for all.

4:32 am

Flask1

She'll love it Westford!

4:32 am

rbud

4:32 am

westford

4:33 am

lilliann

4:33 am

Flask1

Yes. Its a wonderful place to live!......

4:33 am

westford

4:33 am

lilliann

4:34 am

rbud

Hubby's ancestors came from Scotland, the family even knows which tartan they should wear.

4:34 am

Flask1

Of course, Castle Urquhart!

4:34 am

westford

she's one of the young people I was talking about..graduated from college and is working at a doggy day care

4:34 am

lilliann

oh flask, i found out the day my great grandmother was a mcgregor and we have our own tartan. will have to look and see what it is

4:34 am

westford

rbud maybe you and hubby should take a trip to the old homeland

4:34 am

Flask1

4:35 am

rbud

we'd love to, and he's always wanted to see Rome, too. One of these days.

4:35 am

lilliann

Hubby's great grandfather was named Alexander Thompson, heehee!

4:39 am

lilliann

4:40 am

rbud

My brother married a Scottish girl, she's a sweetheart. Love her accent, though it's hard to understand when she's talking fast.

4:40 am

lilliann

flask's grandson is named alexander

4:41 am

westford

that's a fine strong name

4:41 am

lilliann

i can understand flask but my daughter hates talking to her on the phone,she gets me to interpret!!lol

4:42 am

rbud

she calls our mom "Mum", which tickles mom no end. the other day on the phone she said she hadn't seen us in donkey's, I guess that's a long time? :)

4:42 am

it is now time for crossy,s quote of the day!!

10:10 am

crosshair

The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man. Nothing else that he builds ever lasts. Monuments fall; nations perish; civilization grow old and die out; new races build others. But in the world of books are volumes that have seen this happen again and again and yet live on. Still young, still as fresh as the day they were written, still telling menâ€™s hearts, of the hearts of men centuries dead.
- Clarence Day

10:11 am

Jellen

Nice, crossy!

10:12 am

uusue2

I had thought of ea7 as being the British way of saying what you do to your electric circuits so you don't get electrocuted (but then I would, wouldn't I?)

people don't realize you might know each other.

3:01 pm

MollyL

Two dimensional conversation can be difficult that way

3:01 pm

lbdawger

i try not to get too involved when it appears two people are chatting. can get sticky if you don't really know what's going on.

3:01 pm

lilliann

well, i must admit, no-one but lbd spoke to us whilst we were having fun! ty lbd

3:02 pm

lilliann

3:30 pm

MollyL

It must be apple pie week. I made one the other night.

3:30 pm

lbdawger

i made a rustic apple tart for tonight's dessert

3:31 pm

MollyL

Ooo, that sounds good LBD

3:31 pm

lbdawger

it's easier than a pie. :-)

3:31 pm

lilliann

i'm not a pudding person, especially sickly ones and i don't eat chocolate but i do like apple pie and apple or rhubabrb crumble

3:32 pm

lilliann

what makes it rustic lbd

3:32 pm

lbdawger

i'm not a big pie eater. usually soggy crusts or not enough filling

3:32 pm

lbdawger

no pie pan, just the crust on a cookie sheet, put apples or whatever fruit in the middle, fold up the sides and bake.

3:33 pm

lilliann

if i make a sweet or savoury pie i allways make thin pastry and loads of filling...normally a savoury pie i just like a puff pastry top

3:34 pm

lbdawger

what do you put in a savoury pie?

3:35 pm

lilliann

oh, so is the middle uncovered on the top then?

3:36 pm

MollyL

A savory pie is a meat pie, I think.

3:37 pm

lilliann

i make, savoury mince,mushroom and onion,chicken and leek, chicken and mushroom and steak,mushroom and onion or steak,kidney and mushroom

3:37 pm

lynxxx

My mouth is watering Lill & Dawg. Morning all

3:38 pm

lilliann

oh and bacon,cheese and onion, that one is all shortcrust pastry

3:38 pm

3:39 pm

hi Josh

3:39 pm

lilliann

in my steak and mince ones i always put some marmite in.

3:39 pm

lilliann

hi josh

3:40 pm

MollyL

<---Can't hang with marmite

3:40 pm

lilliann

when you get a minute molly, could you put it on your profile as i would like to try it

3:41 pm

lilliann

marmite is a love or hate thing...my daughter and i love it and my husband hates it but he'll eat it when it's cooked in things...i don't like bovril or vegemite though

3:42 pm

lynxxx

similarly, I hate vegemite however I used to put a touch in blander hot dished - good seasoning

3:42 pm

lbdawger

morning, Lynxxx

3:43 pm

Jellen

Hi josh and lyn

3:43 pm

MollyL

Posted the recipe Lilliann

3:43 pm

lbdawger

as for the tart, no lid on it. it's like the apple pie without a pan, and limited juice. mostly just fruit.

3:43 pm

lbdawger

and hi Josh

3:44 pm

lynxxx

hi Jellen

3:45 pm

lilliann

tyvm molly.will copy it in a minute.

3:45 pm

lilliann

sounds nice lbd

3:46 pm

lilliann

i hate shop bought pies as there is so much pastry and not enough filling...i always put loads of filling in...it's like a sandwich...if i'm eating one i want to taste the filling, not just the bread!

3:47 pm

lbdawger

there's a meat pie called a pasty here. Irish i think, but mostly here we call it butte food. (butte as in montana mining town.) the pasty is like a meat pie but in a totable form.

3:49 pm

lilliann

we have pasty's here...they are called cornish pasties as that's where they originate from...they have mince lamb,potato,swede,carrot and onion

3:49 pm

lbdawger

best description would be like a pocket pie or calzone that isn't italian! lol

3:49 pm

lbdawger

yes, i bet that's where these pasties originated from.

3:50 pm

Jellen

Is the last ti 5/12 a fish?

3:50 pm

lilliann

cornish pasties are crescent shaped

3:50 pm

joshuavorbis

spelled like absolute state of mess, fi***

3:50 pm

lbdawger

rhymes with dirty as in fi***y, dirty

3:51 pm

lbdawger

yup, these are crescent shaped too.

3:51 pm

Jellen

Ah, thanks!

3:51 pm

lynxxx

I think pasties were created so miners could easily carry them down into the mines. A family favourite here and I make regularly

3:51 pm

lilliann

probably the same things then lbd

3:52 pm

lbdawger

yup, that's what i'm thinking. and all this time the buttians claimed it as theirs! lol

You have to excuse Soodle, Jellen. She says hi, pounds a few shots of Irish and passes out at her computer.

hi again all! back from class...

4:39 pm

Soodle

Whats the 'savoury' in Moll's recipe?

4:40 pm

Jellen

wb, sue

4:41 pm

MollyL

Savory...no U...it's a seasoning

4:41 pm

Soodle

I never heard of it, Molly, but that doesn't mean its not sold under a different name here. I wonder what it is?

4:43 pm

uusue2

it's an herb - maybe summer savoury?

4:45 pm

MollyL

Yep, it's an herb, like basil, oregano, etc.

4:45 pm

uusue2

Latin name Satureja hortensis

4:46 pm

Soodle

Very few dishes are prepared Chez Soodle without Oregano. I go through buckets of the stuff.

4:47 pm

uusue2

Here's some information with a picture of the plant: http://www.uni-graz.at/~katzer/engl/Sa
tu_hor.html

4:47 pm

MollyL

The BBC has recipes involving savory on it's web site, so it has to be available in the UK.

4:50 pm

Soodle

Thank you Ladies. Once again, I am marvelling at the wonders of Babble, and the things learned here. I am going to treat my family to Canadian Meat Pies tomorrow. Stand by for comments..........

4:53 pm

Soodle

On a different note, the past week here has seen clear blue skies, balmy spring warmth, newborn lambs frolicing, daffodils dancing, and all in all, a truly beautiful Spring experience.

4:53 pm

uusue2

ah - and here we are supposed to get snow tomorrow night :-(

4:54 pm

MollyL

<---Wonders about an Irish woman who cooks with buckets of oregano

4:55 pm

Soodle

Snow...Yuk. We have been blessed with a really mild winter this year, thank goodness. But this week has just been spectacular.

4:55 pm

bichon

Yes, that needs 'splaining'

4:55 pm

MollyL

Daffodils and crocus up here. The Earth is being turned in The Garden Of Molly. A corn dolly will be planted closer to when the plants go in.

4:56 pm

bichon

Molly, where are you located. We have no such flowers in CT

4:56 pm

uusue2

our winter has been quite mild too, relatively speaking, but we are still in the thick of it

4:56 pm

MollyL

Maryland Bich.

4:57 pm

Soodle

Love of oregano probably dates back to a holiday in Mykonos in Greece, with a chap with whom I was madly in love. Sadly, neither of us were sophisticated enough to try the proper Greek food, and lived on oregano-sprinkled pizzas for a fortnight. (Probably too much info for Babble, but there your go!!)

4:58 pm

MollyL

No, TMI is people posting about Babbling on the toilet. Your story was just fine.

5:00 pm

bichon

Ah, MD, the semi-south. Am watching the show [TV form the 90's] "Homicide: Life on the Streets"

5:00 pm

bichon

Takes place in Baltimore

5:00 pm

Soodle

LOL. Mercifully, I have been spared the 'Babbling on the Toilet' stories. Thank you God.

5:01 pm

Soodle

Bich... I am a huge fan of TV from the 90's.

5:02 pm

bichon

I'm getting this from Netflix. It's a well-cast, well-acted story.

5:02 pm

MollyL

Maryland is on the Mason-Dixon line. So depending on how your loyalties lie, you can be a Yankee or a Reb. I am more the genteel Southern woman type.

5:03 pm

bichon

I'm New Yorkish transplanted to southern NE

5:04 pm

MollyL

My Mother was a New Englander, so I have aspects of that bred into me. I saw Brown Bread in the store the other day for the first time in ages. My Mom loved that stuff.

5:05 pm

bichon

I have never left my NY origins behind. My accent comes out quite often

5:06 pm

Soodle

I have spoken to several Babblers on the phone. I am always totally blown away by their accents. For some reason, when I communicate in writing with people from the US I totally forget they have different accents to me. Doh!

5:07 pm

bichon

Molly and I probably sound completely different

5:08 pm

Soodle

I am imagining Molly sounding like Scarlett, and Bich as sounding like Rachel from Friends....

5:08 pm

MollyL

Why dawlin, whatever would make you think such a little ole thing?

5:09 pm

bichon

Haven't watched Friends, but if she has a Boston accent, I don't sould like that. I'm a mixture between NYC and a non-descript CT accent

5:09 pm

MollyL

I imagine Bich sounding tons better than (ew) Rachel from Friends.

5:10 pm

bichon

I have left some of the worst of my NY accent behind, but it never leaves completely.

5:10 pm

bichon

BBL

5:11 pm

Soodle

<-----Sadly, only really knows the accents as portrayed on TV shows and films, like Gone with the Wind, and Cheers, and NYPD blues etc.

5:12 pm

MollyL

Happily, I know an Irish accent because I have actually spoken with people who have them. Thick ones too, I have to concentrate to get every other word.

Soodle

Molly, reading your post at 5.08, I am imagining you clinging onto the bedpost, getting your corset tied ever tighter!!!!

5:14 pm

MollyL

Ahahahaha, as if I would let someone bind me up in a corset.

5:15 pm

MollyL

As for accents on TV, they can be deceiving. Before I met my husband, I thought everyone in Canada sounded like the McKenzie brothers.

5:16 pm

Soodle

Hanging head in shame... I can't tell the difference between the Canadian and American accent.

5:24 pm

MollyL

Soodle, I think you would understand Canadians better than Americans. For reasons unknown to me, Canadians use all kinds of British phrases. Like "on holiday" and "in hospital"

5:24 pm

MollyL

Oh, and they refer to their Mothers as "Mum".

5:26 pm

Soodle

You know what, Moll? .... Viva La Difference!!

5:27 pm

MollyL

Yes, we are all different, in our own way.

5:28 pm

MollyL

And that was no slur to Canadians, which I would think is obvious, since I married one.

5:30 pm

Soodle

I feel a song coming on..... 'Everyone is bee-yoo-tiffull- in their own way......

5:32 pm

periwinkle

hi folks. who has a list pls

5:32 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Grammar cops:
"everyone is beautiful in his or her own way."

5:32 pm

Soodle

Hey Peri. And Pedantic Kap. :-)

5:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

No c*rdio?

5:33 pm

periwinkle

found a list in bab anon

5:33 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

5:35 pm

MollyL

I don't get Enable and abbreviations. Some work, some don't.

5:36 pm

MollyL

What is with pedantic? Is it the word of the day or something?

5:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

All are beautiful in their way?

5:36 pm

Kaplan the Magne

One for all?

5:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Oh, no- Daniel and Nicole???

5:37 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Sorry- just watching my soap.

5:37 pm

Soodle

<---- floundering.

5:38 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Fishing?

5:39 pm

MollyL

I made some really good cream of asparagus and ham soup tonight. I wish I could grow the stuff, we love it.

5:39 pm

Soodle

Herring a laugh, Kap.

5:39 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Tune a piano.

5:40 pm

Soodle

<--- little bit wary of asparagus, and the effects it has on the old corpus delecti....

5:40 pm

MollyL

Effects?

5:41 pm

Kaplan the Magne

flagrante delicto?

5:41 pm

Soodle

Oh gosh. Searching for a polite way of saying this... No polite way found... It makes one pee stench!

5:42 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Ever eat beets?

5:42 pm

MollyL

Okay, can't say I have ever noticed that.

5:43 pm

MollyL

Beets are hideous. I would rather starve than eat beets.

5:43 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Dem's fightin' woids.

5:44 pm

periwinkle

I ate shredded beets in a salad and did not notice until someone told me. It was fine. would not have eaten it if I had known beforehand

5:44 pm

periwinkle

ar5 pls

5:44 pm

MollyL

No, I did not say anything about people who eat beets. So I don't need the Vive le difference lecture again.

5:44 pm

Damn, I forgot the one minute Peri rule.

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

The Beet Poets, you know.

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And the Borscht Belt.

5:46 pm

Kaplan the Magne

OWWW- PB!!!

5:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Where there is a plate of borscht!

5:47 pm

MollyL

Oops, didn't know which ar5 you meant.

5:47 pm

Kaplan the Magne

And I have to eat the whole thing and I don't really like it either!

5:47 pm

periwinkle

might eat shredded beets again but never borscht!

5:47 pm

periwinkle

or pea soup for that matter

5:48 pm

MollyL

Just being around pickled beets gives me the eebie geebies.

5:48 pm

Kaplan the Magne

I can't believe I avoided PB for one be4 and walked straight in with another.

5:48 pm

Soodle

..........meanwhile, back in the toilet..........

5:49 pm

MollyL

Soodle, are you fixated on your anal stage? Freud would have a field day with that.

5:49 pm

Kaplan the Magne

His claims were freudulant.

5:50 pm

Soodle

Sorry, that was a slip.

5:50 pm

Deeha

That suggestion should be couched another way !!

5:51 pm

Soodle

Welcome to the parallel universe, Deeha.

5:51 pm

Kaplan the Magne

Here ego again.

5:51 pm

Deeha

ID like a parallel universe

5:52 pm

Soodle

Come into my world...

5:52 pm

Deeha

Oh to be Jung again

5:53 pm

MollyL

<---Has never thought much about what pee smells like

5:54 pm

Deeha

Id take the chance if it means more asparagus

5:55 pm

MollyL

I love asparagus. Don't eat it much because it's pricey, but it was on sale this week. And seriously, who smells your pee but you anyway?

5:55 pm

Soodle

OK. My job here is done. I have started a conversaton about what pee smells like. I will now bow gracefully out, and retire to bed. Good night all.

5:56 pm

MollyL

Oh right. Just introduce your kinky subject and then wander off to bed.

Someone (not a regular) on here said that Lickety was on Xbox every day. That person also said they would message Lickety and let him know he was missed here.

9:08 pm

Jellen

Ohhhh...sorry!

9:08 pm

mab

it's especially bad if you go around correcting everyone else.

9:09 pm

My attention is divided. I'm watching basketball, and my team is down...

9:09 pm
