is there anyone out there who could clue the 8 or 9 please
2:42 am
angelinaxox
fi 8 and mi 8 are both past tense of fi 6 and mi 6, both set up with the same letters
2:42 am
angelinaxox
i mean fi 9 and mi 9 both are based on fi 7 and mi 7
2:43 am
angelinaxox
om 8 is is the mi 7 with an o in front
2:46 am
angelinaxox
em 8 works the same as well
4:07 am
rbud
<--wants to know WHAT is up with the nightly 3:00 AM downtime - did it take the place of the 2:00 AM hiccup? - or is it in addition to it? sure seems to last a long time! :P
4:14 am
rubyfoo
good morning
4:14 am
rbud
hi, ruby? get the new addition to the doggy family?
4:14 am
rbud
I meant hi! not hi?, lol!
4:17 am
rubyfoo
?? is okay with me, I'm not sure if I'm coming or going, either. This place is a circus with the new and wonderful puppy trailing grumpy old Ruby lady-dog who is very jealous of the new arrival and uses her "discipline mommy" nasty voice on him
4:17 am
rubyfoo
He is, however, a total delight: handsome, athletic, very affectionate, smart AND housebroken
4:18 am
rubyfoo
he is better than any dog we could have wished for
4:18 am
rbud
haha, I know that voice, our little female uses it on all the big male "pups" around our place. Just to keep them in line.
4:18 am
rbud
Housebroken, wonderful!!!
4:18 am
rubyfoo
I hope she won't hurt him
4:19 am
rubyfoo
chows are always very clean but at 3 months, I find this amazing
4:19 am
rbud
oh, they know when it's just a pup, I think.
4:19 am
rubyfoo
he has run of the house already and for his late-night outinge, I've taught him to follow the flashlight
4:20 am
rbud
she just wants him to know who's boss. That's a neat idea, a flashlight - does he follow it back to the door okay?
4:20 am
rubyfoo
I think Ruby is still grieving for dear old Max
4:21 am
rubyfoo
yes, because there are steps and we both need the light
4:21 am
rbud
that's really amazing! glad he's fitting right in. has he cheered up your hubby?
4:22 am
dizgrannie
just picked out our new pup, a female beagle...lost our beloved 14 yr old dog 15mths ago and have finally decided to get another companion. She'll be ready to bring home in 4 weeks.
4:22 am
rbud
oh, nice! new pups for all! :) beagle babies are so cute.
4:22 am
rubyfoo
wonderful, dizgrannie! we need our pups to make the house feel like a home and with these delicate chows, we've decided to always keep two
4:23 am
rubyfoo
beagles are so smart!
4:24 am
dizgrannie
TY rbud and ruby, we've been very undecided about another pet - but the opportunity came up and the owner is getting its first lot of needles and microchipped for us.
4:25 am
rubyfoo
many people can't bear the pain of losing a dog and immediately replacing it, but I felt, especially for my sad and sickly husband, a new puppy might be just the ticket.
4:26 am
rbud
is he happy with the puppy, ruby?
4:28 am
dizgrannie
our g/kids were most upaet when poor 'Chrissie' passed on and have been at us that 'we need another pet' so we did it. Many well meaning people said, get another straight away but we weren't quite ready for another dog.
4:28 am
rubyfoo
yes, as the puppy loves everybody
4:28 am
rubyfoo
I think each of us handles his grief in his own way.
4:28 am
rubyfoo
I think each of us handles his grief in his own way.
4:29 am
rubyfoo
Husband os am introvert and has few friends and can't talk about stuff. I lean heavily on my friends and this wonderful support group and it is a great help.
4:29 am
rubyfoo
and he can't talk about Max without crying
4:30 am
rbud
good you didn't get another black one then, most likely.
4:30 am
dizgrannie
{{HUGGLES}} to Mr Ruby xxx
4:31 am
rubyfoo
Ruffino's mom is black and all of our six chows have been from the same, Canadian, bloodline
4:32 am
rubyfoo
originally out of Johnnie Walker, who was an internatinal grand champion
4:33 am
rubyfoo
we were very lucky that our friends found this Italian boy at just the right time and that he was raised by a family, not by a breeder
4:37 am
rubyfoo
yes, we had a beautiful little black female from the same kennel, Cleo, just before Ruby, but she had a heart anomaly and died, suddenly, at two
4:37 am
rubyfoo
I think that, usually, inbreeding for black may now be a good idea with these fancy guys
4:38 am
rbud
yes, I recall you said your black ones had problems.
4:38 am
rbud
but he sounds like the perfect dog for you guys, hope Ruby thinks so soon, too. :)
4:39 am
rubyfoo
but evidently, Ruffino's mom is a lovely, smart, normal dog. Go figure! I don't know enough
4:39 am
rubyfoo
have you decided on a name for the beagle, diz?
4:39 am
rubyfoo
I love what people name their dogs!
4:40 am
rubyfoo
Ruffino is officially Akito (bleh)
4:45 am
rbud
oh, is there a big difference? between Akito and Chow?
4:46 am
rubyfoo
no, no, that was his registed name. totally different breed, Akitas are Japanese, chows Chinese
4:46 am
rubyfoo
they just had to put a name on his registration papers
4:46 am
rubyfoo
before we got him or they knew of our interest
4:46 am
rbud
oh, I see. No, I wouldn't have wanted to call him that, either.
4:47 am
rubyfoo
wasn't that the name of the Japanese prime minister in WW2?
4:47 am
rubyfoo
<-- not knowledgeable about history, either
4:47 am
dizgrannie
yeah Ruby, Begs as in short for beagle. Chrissie was so named as we found her as a pup abandoned on Xmas Eve
4:47 am
rubyfoo
and our old male was Rufus, so this does him honor, too
4:48 am
rbud
when I name animals, I always think of how I'll sound in the back yard calling them, lol! I had a friend once who named her dog "Free Bird" - sounded really silly out calling for it, hahaha! :P
4:48 am
rubyfoo
that is a lovely story about Chrissie and you will probably call him Beggie or poopy or who knows what, once you see him
4:49 am
rubyfoo
we had a temporary housekeeper during the summer who heard me call Ruby, Poopy, and thought that was her name. Ruby didn't mind but e thought it was hilarious
4:49 am
MollyL
Rbud, that is an excellent thing to think about when naming a pet. I wish my neighbor who named her dog Prada had thought of that.
4:49 am
dizgrannie
Ruby, owner posted photos of Begs on FB and me and Hubby feel in lurve....LOL
4:49 am
rubyfoo
{{molly}}
4:50 am
rubyfoo
and imagine calling "poopy" in the yard
4:50 am
rubyfoo
bad enough picking up poopy lol
4:50 am
rbud
oh, I call ours "poopydog" often, but not when she's trying to escape
4:51 am
MollyL
And it doesn't help that Prada is mental and her owner has a shrill, nails on a chalkboard voice.
4:51 am
rubyfoo
we've had the fence around the property totally checked and reinforced AGAIN since Max's escape
4:52 am
rubyfoo
"Prada, oh, Prada!!" hahah
4:52 am
rbud
oh no! I can picture that, Molly, eek!
4:53 am
rbud
(and by the way, poor Free Bird was a big male Irish setter, so no "birdie" for short)
4:54 am
MollyL
Seriously, who names their dog after handbag line. And Ruby it's Praaaaaaaaadaaaaaaaa
4:54 am
rbud
(hated him, he was prone to jumping through screens after females)
4:54 am
rubyfoo
bad dog stories hahah
4:54 am
rubyfoo
I would go crazy with neighbors like that
4:55 am
MollyL
I keep my windows shut A LOT
4:55 am
rubyfoo
it's funny how common Ruby, Rufus and Max are as dog (and cat) names
4:55 am
rubyfoo
and our first chow was Rosie, also common. And we all think we are being original.....
4:56 am
rubyfoo
SeaSpray's dog was named Max
4:56 am
rbud
our neighbor has a nasty mean little Boston Terrier who likes to come over here and pick fights with our dogs, can't get near him, all snarly - I used to like that kind of dog until I met him
4:57 am
rubyfoo
I don't like little dogs except for Bichons and Lhasa Apsos. The terriers and miniature poodles I've known have been nasty
4:58 am
rubyfoo
whenever I meet a new Yorkie, I ask the owner how he is with rats because that was originally what Yorkies did for a living
4:58 am
rubyfoo
I usually love Fr bulldogs, but one I knew fairly well tried to bite me one day
4:58 am
rbud
I like the common names for my dogs, have had a Maggie, Ralphie, Freddie - and then there was Eloise, we called her Weaseldog.
4:58 am
rubyfoo
and Burt has been bitten twice by Yellow Labs
4:59 am
rubyfoo
we got into the R names because alll of those dogs were dupposed to be reddish
4:59 am
rbud
oh, I don't like Labs in general, or Dobermans
5:00 am
rbud
once in a while I meet a good one, not often.
5:00 am
scouser
hey Ruby Doorbell is not a bad name for a dog is it?
5:02 am
rbud
we had a dog named Diogee once, pronounced D-O-G... he was a great dog.
5:02 am
rbud
hiya, Scouser, how's tricks?
5:03 am
MollyL
Prada is a Rottweiler who growls the death growl at everything. Butterflies, squirrels, you name it.
5:04 am
scouser
When I was little we had a whitish dog called Woolyb (short for woolly bear) which could jump the four-foot fence into next door's garden
5:04 am
rbud
LOL! Really a poor choice of names, a Rott! heehee!
5:05 am
rbud
I like Woolyb, though, not bad!
5:05 am
MollyL
I really do think the dog is not right in the head.
5:05 am
rbud
Rotts get weird if not trained right, from my experience.
5:06 am
scouser
I notice that not many Rotw owners manage to train them well enough. I knew a dog-trainer/breeder who used to take the food-dish away after two mouthfuls, and if the dog carried on attacking to get the dish, it was put down.
5:06 am
MollyL
That makes sense, I doubt this dog is trained at all. And I don't think big dogs like that belong in a townhouse. I doubt it ever gets walked, it's just confined in a tiny back yard.
5:07 am
rbud
that's how they judge them on some rehabilitation TV shows I've seen, as to whether they're food obsessed or growl when you get near their bowl.
5:08 am
scouser
I think Rotts and possibly chows and Pyreneans are all one-man dogs, hence their use as guard-dogs but they get confused who the one-man is or isnt.
5:08 am
rbud
stick out a fake hand on a broomstick to snag the bowl, if they bite it, they are judged not fit for adoption.
5:10 am
scouser
Are one-man dogs therefore not particularly pack-dogs (like most are) and are therefore have no inkling of "sharing". There have been horrendous cases of Rotts and other guard-dogs attacking children here.
5:17 am
rbud
wandered to the kitchen... back again. I know Rotts and German Shepherds, too, often have hip problems at a fairly early age.
5:18 am
dizgrannie
fox terriers are also one person dogs....had one when our girls were little and it attached itself to youngest dtr - if both girls were playing in the yard and the eldest went near the youngest - the dog would growl and nip at her. we ended up adopting her to an elderly friend and it lived till a ripe old age - thoroughly spoilt.
5:19 am
rbud
we've never had a purebred anything, though, except a couple of pitbulls (brother and sister) for a while, more of a foster deal. I like mutts! :)
5:20 am
rbud
I think our little Roxie is mostly rat terrier, she's attached mostly to me, can't go anywhere in the house without her right on my heels.
5:23 am
dizgrannie
Our Chrissie was a mixed breed, twas great with our g/kids - nobody could come in the yard if they were there playing, also when hubby was away for the night she would be under my feet AND sleep on the bottom of our bed. Never slept there when hubby was home.
5:23 am
rbud
sounds like a sweetie, diz. :)
5:25 am
rbud
you know, I was a dogcatcher one summer years ago - the meanest dog I dealt with all summer was a tiny toy poodle, lost at the local state park campground by her owners, she was vicious. Scared and hungry, of course, so I still felt sorry for her.
5:27 am
rbud
they didn't even come back for her when we caught her, so we put her in a cage alone and didn't hold out much hope for an adoption. she'd attack all of us when we tried to do anything with her.
5:28 am
rbud
then one day a sweet little older lady came in, and before we could warn her, she'd whipped open the cage and was snuggling her and talking baby talk, dog loved her, and they went home happy.
5:28 am
dizgrannie
aww luverly
5:29 am
rbud
we were all amazed! :)
5:31 am
MollyL
Just goes to show that some dogs and people were meant to be together.
5:31 am
dizgrannie
did my new icon come up??? our little Begs
5:32 am
rbud
awwww, so tiny!
5:32 am
MollyL
Wow, that's a tiny puppy.
5:33 am
dizgrannie
isn't she lurverly...born last Friday on my Mums 85 birthday.
5:34 am
rbud
and how long until you get her?
5:34 am
dizgrannie
Pity we have to wait a few more weeks to get her (I want her NOW...lol)
5:35 am
dizgrannie
around 6 weeks, rbud
5:35 am
rbud
bet she won't already be housebroken like ruby's, haha!
5:36 am
dizgrannie
rbud, LOL nope
5:38 am

anyways me is off for the night, been great chatting. Night all xxx

The way I really know that I am ill is that I woke up with Katy Perry's singing in my head.

Is it possible to overdose on homeopathy?
7:44 am
hurshy
wow what a horrid symptom
7:44 am
Kaplan the Magne
People gathered to protest homeopathic snake oil by downing bottles of hp pills.
7:44 am
hurshy
it's POSSIBLE to overdose on anything - including water
7:45 am
Kaplan the Magne
That is true. Water can dilute your sodium severely.
7:45 am
Kaplan the Magne
Haz, I think that was their point- they were saying there is nothing in it.
7:46 am
hurshy
i kissed a cat and i liked it...
7:46 am
Haz1558
My cynical husband would agree, Kaplan.

sales of cherry chapstick went through the roof that year...

I think we probably have to deal with the reality that a cold is a cold is a cold, and if you've got one
7:48 am
Kaplan the Magne
you've got one.
7:48 am
hurshy
at what point does hunger overcome the knowledge that getting up will be very painful?
7:48 am
Kaplan the Magne
Breakfast in bed, Hursh.
7:48 am
Haz1558
Feeling hungry is a good sign, surely?
7:49 am
hurshy
well that's a nice idea but who knows how long it will be before husband wakes up
7:49 am
Kaplan the Magne
Kick him in the ribs.
7:49 am
hurshy
hungry is fine, it's my back that is the big problem now. the cold would be more manageable had i not wrenched my back while coughing.
7:50 am
Haz1558
Ah, that makes a difference. I can sympathise with the back pain.
7:50 am
Kaplan the Magne
triple whammy.

Kaplan the Magne
mi4 soup is good for you.
7:51 am
Haz1558
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatories are your best bet.
7:51 am
hurshy
does that mean ibuprofen?
7:51 am
Kaplan the Magne
MOTRIN
7:51 am
Kaplan the Magne
yes. Ibuprophen the wonder drug.
7:51 am
Kaplan the Magne
spelled the way J
7:51 am
Kaplan the Magne
Hursh spelled it
7:52 am
hurshy
i have some leftover percoset...
7:52 am
Kaplan the Magne
fen.
7:52 am
hurshy
medical stuff is never spelt the way i imagine when i hear it so i am just resigned to getting it wrong
7:52 am
Haz1558
See, there's the difference between the US and the Brits. We know about 2 medicines, the US know and can discuss lots.
7:52 am
Kaplan the Magne
Percoset is the opiate. If the ibuprofen really doesn't work, that would be your better bet.
7:53 am
hurshy
what is the other one you know about haz?
7:53 am
Kaplan the Magne
Percs don't agree with everyone.
7:53 am
Kaplan the Magne
Heroin.
7:53 am
Haz1558
I know lots of animal drug names, though.
7:54 am
Kaplan the Magne
Aspirin is so 1965.
7:54 am
hurshy
do you not have medical dramas on tv?
7:54 am
Kaplan the Magne
Excedrin headache number 43.
7:54 am
hurshy
that is where most of my words come from
7:54 am
Haz1558
I remember having an antibiotic for a sinus infection and being strangely comforted when my husband informed me it was the equivalent of Nuflor and great for calves.
7:55 am
Kaplan the Magne
"Tommy, can you please take your bicycle OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY?"
7:55 am
Kaplan the Magne
"Mother, please- I'd RATHER DO IT MYSELF!"
7:55 am
Haz1558
There are lots of medical dramas, yes, but I think in everyday life people here don't really discuss their medicines just as much.
7:55 am
Kaplan the Magne
You can get shapelier calves from antibiotics?
7:56 am
hurshy
put on the capris!
7:56 am
Kaplan the Magne
Does it reduce cellulite too?
7:56 am
Haz1558
If only that were true, women with calves would benefit hugely.
7:56 am
hurshy
there aren't a whole lot of women without calves
7:57 am
Kaplan the Magne
hm.
7:57 am
Haz1558
The missing information for you, Kaplan, is that my husband is a vet.
7:57 am
hurshy
ok i am going to make a medicine/food voyage, wish me luck
7:57 am
Kaplan the Magne
I figgered as much.
7:58 am
Kaplan the Magne
Do animals benefit from placebos, I wonder?
7:58 am

Bon Voyage, hurshy.

i have been going through so many tissues i feel like i am single handedly destroying a rainforest
8:06 am
Haz1558
It's horrible, I know. Can you get the tissues with balsam in them?
8:07 am
hurshy
aloe, we tend to have ones with aloe, which i do have
8:08 am
Haz1558
As long as you're not dealing with just the straightforward tissues, they can leave your nose all sore.
8:09 am
hurshy
with this many, i think it is inevitable one will get the sore nose
8:09 am
hurshy
but yes it is definitely not as bad with the treated ones
8:10 am
Haz1558
It will get better but it's astonishing just how bad a streaming cold can make you feel.
8:11 am
hurshy
i thought i would be back at work by now but then last night and this morning i had a slight temperature
8:11 am
MollyL
Facial tissue has abrasives in it. That is why you aren't supposed to use it to clean your eyeglasses.
8:11 am
Haz1558
Better to stay home than infect everybody else.
8:12 am
hurshy
but the longer it goes the less contagious you are, right?

I'm not sure at what point you start being less of a health hazard.

Just found out yesterday - our daughter who is due in August is having a girl!! We are thrilled. We just have one grandson, who is turning 13 next week.
9:58 am
trentsnana
I had a gut feeling and have already been buying girl clothes and making girly things like little crocheted hats and the like.
9:59 am
cybernan
lucky you -- we still don't know if the twins are girls, boys or one of each.....any day now and I can hit the stores!
10:02 am

Yay! A girlie for TNana! Congratulations!
10:05 am

Do they live near you?
10:05 am
trentsnana
No, unfortunately 1600 miles away.
10:05 am
trentsnana
But I will be there for the shower, the birth, and then again when she is about 3 mos. old.
10:06 am
trentsnana
I told hubby I would stay where we are (he loves it here in Montana), only if I could fly back to Michigan at least a couple of times a year.
10:06 am
trentsnana
Hahahaha
10:06 am
trentsnana
Thank you, Molly.
10:06 am
m9f9l
similar to my situation. I wasn't there for the birth, but got to see him at about 26 hours.. and then again at 6 weeks
10:07 am
trentsnana
Yes, it's tough being this far, but I've been back many times in the almost five years that we've been here.
10:09 am
cybernan
we won't get to see ours until they are a week or more old, but there is a grandma (her 2nd and 3rd) living in the same city and lots of aunts, uncles and cousins
10:10 am
trentsnana
With the technology we have, though, it makes it easier to stay in touch. Email, Facebook, etc. My daughter put the ultrasound pics on FB and then I was able to put them on my phone, so I will have them with me to show everyone. It is amazing what those ultrasounds can do now. There is a very clear one of her precious little face!!
10:11 am
cybernan
that's lovely, tnana
10:11 am
cybernan
is this your first grandchild?
10:11 am

Yes, makes you feel (almost) like you are there!

No, have a grandson, Trent, hence - Trentsnana
10:12 am

He will be 13 next week - so there's been a long time between grandbabies.

10:54 am

just a bit, dorens. first we don't have buffalo. we have bi5. the american bi5, infact.
10:54 am
Dorens
see, but here in nj we don't even know the difference between them
10:56 am

well, what most americans call buffalo are the same, but it's a slang, and not the proper name. so no biggy

I agree Harp, child-like is over used for those with disabilities
11:08 am
Trifioso
do they all have the same pathology, harp?
11:09 am
harpjane
nope, intellectual disabilities is as broad picture as you can find.....

i know what you mean, their lives are a daily trial, but there is a special-ness that breaks thru the hard realities. they make the rest of us such schmucks
11:10 am

many of my athletes have the same job troubles, family troubles, money troubles, etc, as the rest of us.
11:10 am

isn't it amazing, though, to see the determination with which some people overcome and deal with their handicaps?
11:10 am

working here as long as I have, I have become CONVINCED that people with Down's are spies for God.

And Special Olympics brings out the best in all of us--athletes and volunteers alike!

I would LOVE for the world to think I was clever enough to come up with such a gorgeous phrase, but I want good chi, so I tell the truth.
11:13 am
lbdawger
fluff and fold calls. see ya'll later
11:14 am
MollyL
Good chi is yours Trif : ) I have a healthy respect for words and those that create phrases with them. I have little respect for word/phrase stealers.
11:15 am
Trifioso
ugh, I am afraid you would take issue with me quickly! I LOVE good phrases so much I use them all the time when I speak....
11:15 am
Trifioso
does that count?
11:16 am
MollyL
No, I'm talking about people who post quotes on the internet and make it look like they said them.
11:17 am
Trifioso
oh gads, there is a HUGE fracas over that very thing on one of my favorite blogs. The author was alerted by a long time reader that another blogger had copied whole sections of her writing to post on her blog, which was a PAID one, so it got very nasty.

yes wht.. the # 2 player of all time.. doesn't have to go to the PB.. she has a permanent get out of jail card

9:03 pm

what are you grading?
9:03 pm

I'm not asleep; I've been watching something on i-player whilst mulling over a few short story ideas and talking to my son (really here) and my daughter (in Romania, so talking to her on Facebook).

If anyone needs a list for the grid there is one in my profile and on BabAnon. Mind you, only the be6/24 and 7/36 were new to me today.
9:05 pm

Sue - thanks! I pinched the pic off an old friend on FB.

jac, i just recently lost a very good friend who was from England, pleasant lady
9:06 pm
uusue2
sorry to hear that, jen :-(
9:06 pm

Sue - I salute you! 'Grading physics exams' - that's like me scaling Everest whilst doing short multiplication and half a dozen algebra problems on the side.
9:07 pm
JenMO16
she was 88 and found out at the funeral that she kept her British citizenship
9:07 pm
Jacula
Jen - sorry to hear that.x
9:08 pm
Jacula
Jen - a lot of ex-pats do hang on to their British citizenship - I know my cousin in Canada proudly hangs on to his even though he was only about 4 when he left our shores.
9:09 pm
uusue2
well, I really like teaching, jac, but grading is the pits
9:09 pm
Jacula
sue & wvt - I'm glad you can make use of my lists. I'll try my best to keep posting them.
9:09 pm
uusue2
however I am discovering that if I write really easy exams the grading goes a lot faster :-)
9:10 pm
JenMO16
how true uusue!
9:10 pm
Jacula
Sue - LOL! (BTW, I'm rubbish at maths. I'm more a wordy/arty person. I can do my accounts though!)
9:11 pm
uusue2
I have also discovered that what I think is a really easy exam is not necessarily easy for the students, though
9:12 pm
Jacula
sue - that's true. Same with Babble grids or anything really. If you know it, it's easy. If you don't, it's like swimming through mud with fog above it.

HI

Hi Herin. Not seen you to talk to for a while!x

Does anyone ne4/5 any clues?
9:19 pm
Jacula
Herin - ??
9:19 pm
herinfernallady
What
9:20 pm
Jacula
BTW, the any clues post was to the Babble community in general, not in answer to Herin's post which came up just after I posted.
9:20 pm
herinfernallady
I just haven't had anuything nice to say
9:21 pm
Jacula
Herin - your mother/nothing nice to say? Is that your birth Mum or your adopted Mum and why did she say that?
9:21 pm
herinfernallady
No the saying is my says if you have nothing nice to say say nothing at all. Sorry not enough cofffee
9:21 pm
uusue2
hi, herin! You can be grumpy here as far as I am concerned :=)
9:22 pm
herinfernallady
nnot grumpy but that is the reason for lurking
9:22 pm
Jacula
Oh, okay Herin. I'm pretty down and grumpy myself at the moment, so I can certainly cut you some slack to be so, too.
9:22 pm
uusue2
((((herin)))))
9:23 pm
Jacula
I'd hug you,too, Herin, but sue's got you in a pretty tight grip there and we don't want to smother you!;-)
9:23 pm

No i just need a made to put everthing back on the shelves in the kitchen and vacuum to double make sure there is no glass about
9:24 pm

Bear hug back

O stupid fb
9:25 pm
JenMO16
jac, thanks for the list, it is really helping me
9:26 pm
uusue2
oh, I see it now, herin, sounds like a real nuisance! And those little bits of glass can get everywhere. What a bummer.
9:26 pm
herinfernallady
THe cabinet above the range hood tanked the other night taking the shelves with it.
9:26 pm
JenMO16
sorry, had to refresh my browser, wondered why it got quiet in here!
9:27 pm
herinfernallady
Broke 4 glasses lucky they were $2 plus store glasses
9:27 pm
herinfernallady
Hi Jen we can see you load and clear
9:28 pm
Jacula
Oh dear! Get some parcel tape or duct tape, wrap it around your hands (or your feet) and dab the whole room with it. It gets the tiniest shards of glass up.
9:28 pm
JenMO16
lol herin!
9:28 pm
Jacula
Sticky side out, of course!
9:28 pm
herinfernallady
I have been using those picks up grease disposable wipes they have worked well. have to vacuum under the table soon
9:29 pm
herinfernallady
Coffee, babble and peanut butter bread first though
9:30 pm
uusue2
good set of priorities, herin!
9:30 pm
Jacula
$2 plus stores - have to LOL at that. They sell stuff that's a bit more upmarket than the $1 stores? I guess the glass won't have broken into such tiny shards then?
9:31 pm
herinfernallady
Well I don't know how else to describe those stores.
9:31 pm
herinfernallady
Darn skippy there sue
9:32 pm
Jacula
Don't mention Skippy or I'll be singing that damned theme tune all night!
9:32 pm
Jacula
I can also do 'the whistle'.
9:33 pm
uusue2
<--- cannot whistle
9:33 pm
JenMO16
i can't whistle either!
9:33 pm
Jacula
Skippy our friend ever truuuuueeee!
9:34 pm
herinfernallady
Darn Jac I can't do that I have gaps in my teeth. Himselfs mother has the best whistle ever, the joys of growing up in the bush
9:34 pm
Jacula
B*gger, Herin's given me the ear worm now!
9:35 pm
herinfernallady
This is the song that doesn't end it goes on and on my friend
9:35 pm
Jacula
One whistle I can't do, always wanted to be able to do, should be able to do (since I have a gap between my front teeth) is the 2 fingers in the mouth stop a taxi whistle.
9:36 pm
herinfernallady
Nah I used to just hike my skirt up a tad higher to get taxi's
9:36 pm

9:44 pm
jillibus
I have those too -- somebody stole my car just before I woke up
9:45 pm
Jacula
Jilli - men, especially truck drivers who see things from above, drive by many women showing more than they think they are showing, including young mothers with pushchairs/strollers who don't realise how much they're displaying when they bend over to see to baby. I know this, 'cos I'm a trucker's moll and have ridden alongside. LOL
9:45 pm

and I keep losing my purse and MasterCard.
9:45 pm

okay.. i'll be back later I have to get to the store before it closes..and we don't eat..

9:51 pm
Jacula
We had slow-roasted shoulder of lamb set atop potatoes and carrots last night. Easy for me to prepare and bung into the oven to cook for 4 hours and then do a couple of boiled green vegs to go with it. Not easy for the rest of the family, who all arrived home about 2 hours earlier than they 'should' have done to keep smelling and slavering over, though. ROFLOL.
9:51 pm
herinfernallady
Jac do you use oven bags?
9:52 pm
uusue2
grading done, now I can get the last 9 words (8 of them starting with s)
9:52 pm
herinfernallady
Jill it was lovely and close to mum and dads
9:52 pm
Jacula
Imagine the smell of roast lamb with garlic and rosemary teasing you. (Unless you're a vegetarian. If so, tune out now!)
9:53 pm
Jacula
herin - No. I use a closed roasting tin or casserole dishes. Why?
9:54 pm
herinfernallady
Because that is how I do slow roast pork and lamb
9:55 pm
jillibus
My easy supper was just a one-dish job -- a big can of diced plum tomatoes, one cup of raw rice, 3 celery sticks cut into half-inch pieces, topped with 1 lb of sausages, bunged into a med oven (350 in North America) for about 90 minutes.
9:55 pm
Jacula
Herin - if you're doing slow roast pork in plastic, I assume you're not aiming for pork crackling? (That's the skin and fat above gone all crispy and lovely.
9:56 pm
herinfernallady
I can't do crackling so I don't.
9:56 pm
jillibus
But your slow-roasts sound wonderful. Cooking for one is a whole other thing.
9:56 pm
herinfernallady
Jill that sounds good
9:56 pm
Jacula
jilli - did you add any seasoning or herbs to that?
9:56 pm
jillibus
Oooooh, pork crackling!!! Megadrool!

Cooking for one is, I admit, a whole other thing. However, for many meals you can forget that mentality and cook for 2 or for 4 and freeze the excess. Eventually you end up with lots of meals you can just defrost and heat.:-)
9:59 pm
Jacula
Sue - well done!*~*~*~*~*~*~*

10:02 pm
brokenleo89
thanks...duh moment
10:02 pm
Jacula
jilli - don't forget to whizz your stale bread up for breadcrumbs to make other meals. Stick the breadcrumbs in your freezer.
10:03 pm
jillibus
The ankle is doing much better -- almost normal walking, but still an open wound on the leg which is healing gradually -- gets treatments once a week now. Thanks for asking. It's a good thing I cancelled the trip!
10:03 pm

10:04 pm

10:04 pm

10:06 pm

Yes, Jac (re breadcrumbs) but I don't want to -- I don't enjoy cooking. I do eat a very balanced diet -- remember my degree in Biochemistry and Bacteriology? No fads for this kid.

10:26 pm
herinfernallady
You had a cute kitty
10:32 pm
mom23
He was my pretty boy. Still finding little reminders of him on clothes from time to time. But having a grandbaby arrive the morning he left us took a bit of the sting out of losing him. Our lifestyle now (retired, busy and traveling) isn't conducive to having another kitty. Maybe so4-day. Think I'm gonna get so4 shut-eye now. 'Til the morrow!
