6:02 am

sprite

hello mummy

6:05 am

mummy

hi Sprite, how's things in your part of the world?

6:05 am

6:06 am

kje

gm

6:07 am

mummy

Rain overnight and rather cold and windy today, but it's nice when the sun comes out

6:07 am

sprite

morning kje!

6:07 am

sprite

sun is good. I vote for more sun.

6:08 am

mummy

I see you are near Amsterdam, I wen ther in March a few years ago when traveilling back from Australia via Bali, we went from 40 degrees to minus 1 in Amsterdam, a great shock to the system!

6:08 am

sprite

ouch! I hope you didn't get ill.

6:08 am

sprite

fall ill. Well, you know what I mean.

6:09 am

mummy

No, but it took a few days to thaw out!

6:09 am

sprite

I bet! Yes it can be rather unpleasant here. It is now. My girl put on gloves and a hat when she went to school this morning.

6:11 am

mummy

WE must make the effort to visit when the weather is better, I would like to get another diamond ring made, I lost the diamond out of the one I had made when we were there..

6:11 am

sprite

then Amsterdam is a good place. Let me know in advance when you come... we could have a coffee or lunch together!

6:12 am

mummy

thank you, that would be nice!

6:13 am

sprite

:)

6:15 am

mummy

6:16 am

sprite

bye mummy, see you later

6:16 am

mummy

6:17 am

sprite

I got it, don't worry :D

6:17 am

mummy

oh, blow, it's just started to rain...

6:17 am

sprite

:(
Stupid weather.

6:19 am

kje

kinda tricky little grid

6:19 am

sprite

it is, isn't it? It is harder than it looked to me at first.

6:20 am

kje

yep

6:21 am

mummy

hey Sprite, do you play chilexigame?

6:21 am

kje

jedi should be accepted ; )

6:21 am

sprite

that awfully addicting chihuahua game? Yeah, started last week. Can't stay away now.

6:21 am

sprite

I agree! Jedi is SO a word.

6:23 am

mummy

I thought that was your name I saw there, I started that last week too! I think someone mentioned it here in the chog, so I sought it out

6:23 am

mummy

I thought that was your name I saw there, I started that last week too! I think someone mentioned it here in the chog, so I sought it out

6:23 am

berri

hi everyone

6:23 am

sprite

yes, I think it was red. It is fun, isn't it! Quite a different twist than babble.

6:23 am

sprite

hello berri

6:24 am

kje

explain the game?

6:24 am

mummy

Yes, it's another game I enjoy, really gotta go now., bye all

6:25 am

sprite

you get 9 letters from which to make as many words as you can. One letter is central and must be used in every word. Plurals and verb forms that are -s are not valild.

6:25 am

sprite

bye mummy!

6:25 am

sprite

and there is at least one word that uses all letters.

6:25 am

kje

the link?

6:25 am

sprite

http://chi.lexigame.com/

6:26 am

kje

may check it out.... though really do not need another distraction

6:26 am

sprite

one good thing: it is fast. Not like babble. You play for maybe 10 mins and then you are out of words. Or I am, anyway.

6:27 am

kje

ok

6:28 am

sprite

lots of word freaks there too, on the forum. That is fun too.

6:30 am

8:10 am

ruby, I just looked it up - got calin, but many french speakers said they'd never use it.....

8:10 am

Dorens

shock is normal right now... you know this

8:11 am

JBV

do people send hugs and kisses in French? It's de rigueur in Italian - everybody hugs and kisses everybody in emails, letters, forums, etc...

8:11 am

rubyfoo

they say "serrer dans les bras" it is a thin language

8:11 am

Scrabbler

I was referring to my faith--was so strong--and now I am agnostic.

8:11 am

Dorens

calin? not embrasse?

Oh I didn't realize that you had begun to doubt. I myself have always doubted... and have envied those who do have strong faith... so comforting, and seems to make life simpler in general

8:12 am

Scrabbler

I think it is ok to wrestle with faith, beliefs, spirituality, religion.

8:12 am

"Never laugh at live dragons, Bilbo you fool!" he said to himself, and it became a favourite saying of his later, and passed into a proverb. "You aren't nearly through this adventure yet," he added, and that was pretty true as well. -- Bilbo Baggins, "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien, Chapter XII

I let the sun shine inside my heart and I see in its light the dazzling beauty that's within me. I see my strength, I see my compassion, I see my love, and I see my joy. I choose to feel connected, I choose to feel alive in this moment and I choose to feel good, happy, and whole. My life is good and I am blessed."

Hi Judi!

9:12 am

Well, it's mostly paid for thanks to Hubby's unexpected bonus, so that's half the battle.

9:12 am

Hi Molly!

9:14 am

car.eeyore

Oooh! Molly! Is that online as well?

9:14 am

car.eeyore

And have you made it before?

9:14 am

MollyL

Yep, it's on line. It's better if you make it with the chocolate chips, but they are optional.

9:14 am

car.eeyore

TY!

9:16 am

car.eeyore

Help with the J"s please? I only have jo 4/9. TY!

9:16 am

9:16 am

EvaNadine

9:16 am

MollyL

It's similar to those Betty Crocker Moist Delight desserts.

9:17 am

MollyL

Well Eva, for you, there is caramel apple cake in a cup

9:18 am

car.eeyore

Oooh! You could make a variety!!!!

9:18 am

EvaNadine

i would do cake-in-a-cup for myself, but i want to actually bake a cake for the family. :)

9:19 am

Judi

Angel food cake is always a good option. Just throw some strawberries or other fruit over it. Voila! Dessert!

I think if I was in your entertaining position Eva, I would bake a regular cake for the clan and make a separate "okay points" dessert for you and Mom.

9:25 am

car.eeyore

OK...whilst looking for a new eeyore image on google...someone took eeyore and put the tentacles from Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean on Eeyore's face!!!! Nooooooo!

9:26 am

car.eeyore

Or, kick back and enjoy the cake and use your extra points or activity points!

9:27 am

9:42 am

car.eeyore

Bye Judi!

9:43 am

EvaNadine

i wonder if thats too much food? 6 adults + 3 kids. i think that seems ok?

9:43 am

car.eeyore

It is a lot of food. I would probably nix the potato salad and/or the corn pudding or the cabbage.

9:44 am

car.eeyore

I gots to scoot! Have a great day everyone! {{hugs}}

9:44 am

flosey

what is corn pudding Eva?

9:45 am

crosshair

kep the tater salad as it is the only starch

9:45 am

MollyL

I agree with Car. I would do corn pudding or potato salad but not both.

9:46 am

EvaNadine

crossy, thats why i put that on the list. otherwise, thats what i would cut. i kinda WANT corn pudding and i like the cabbage.

9:46 am

EvaNadine

maybe i will just do it all, but in smaller batches

9:46 am

crosshair

there u go:)

9:47 am

EvaNadine

or just make it all + send the leftovers home with everyone, like my mom usually does. :)

9:47 am

crosshair

and as flosey said,what the heck is corn pudding??

9:48 am

flosey

thanks crossy, I gave up and googled it

9:48 am

MollyL

Corn pudding is kind of a starchier version of corn souffle. Creamed corn thickened with corn starch and baked in a dish.

9:48 am

EvaNadine

ummm.... kinda like a casserole? can sweeter or more savory depending on the recipe

9:48 am

crosshair

ugh..toss that keep the taters

9:48 am

flosey

sounds southern?

9:49 am

crosshair

sounds super starchy and gloppy

9:49 am

EvaNadine

heh, i LOVE corn

9:49 am

flosey

I always do scalloped potatoes with ham

9:49 am

crosshair

i love it as well,just not creamed

9:49 am

EvaNadine

my coworkers wife makes the most AMAZING corn pudding. he brings it to every food event at work (we all demand it) but she refuses to give out the recipe.

9:49 am

jafro2

okay, you all are going to have to stop LOL. I haven't had breakfast yet.

9:49 am

EvaNadine

some corn pudding mix creamed corn with whole kernels

9:50 am

flosey

I find it very strange when a person doesn't share a recipe - did she create it herself?

9:51 am

flosey

now you can get almost any recipe you could want on the internet

9:53 am

EvaNadine

flosey, i dunno. it might be a family recipe (thats my guess). all i know is that of all the corn puddings i have had, this one blows the rest out of the water. SOOOOOO yummy.

9:53 am

crosshair

urp..crossy thinks of all that slimy corn...

9:54 am

flosey

probably a 'secret' ingredient that gives it a boost

9:54 am

periwinkle

hi all back from exercise class, took the more intense one and made it through!!

9:54 am

flosey

9:54 am

i would gladly blow my diet for a day to dine on it. :)

9:55 am

ty flosey

9:55 am

MollyL

I find it strange when people won't share recipes too, Flosey.

9:57 am

flosey

seems to me, no 2 people end up making it quite the same anyway

9:58 am

EvaNadine

there is definitely a lot of variety. some people even make it kinda spicy, but i prefer the sweet, creamy varieties. :)

12:53 pm

The picture of it by The Washington Monument was pretty spectacular too. Eva have you been to the big Air & Space Museum in Virginia?

12:53 pm

bichon

12:53 pm

gemini_J13

I was there with my dad on an Honor flight

12:53 pm

12:54 pm

gemini_J13

at the airport...

12:54 pm

MollyL

That's cool Gemini. No Bich, it's another one they built in Virginia. Big enough to house entire planes and things like the space shuttle.

12:54 pm

EvaNadine

molly, i havent been to it, but i DID work the groundbreaking for it. :)

12:57 pm

EvaNadine

i got to hand a shovel to chief justice william renquist. (or "billy ren," as they would NOT let me call him...heh)

1:07 pm

MollyL

Oh wow Eva, I hope you got lots of pictures. How did you come to do that?

1:08 pm

i used to work at the Air + Space museum.

ah - I hope so!

1:53 pm

1:53 pm

had a VERY frustrating meeting this morning with a student accused of academic misconduct

1:54 pm

jesdraggon

yah?

1:54 pm

uusue2

he was found responsible (guilty), lost again on appeal, but is still insisting that he is innocent and that my giving him an F is capricious :-(

1:54 pm

jesdraggon

hah. capricious? good word, even if he is being a dick

1:57 pm

jesdraggon

did you catch him cheating/copying on an exam? or did the F come from turning in a plagarized paper?

2:13 pm

2:20 pm

I just bought my dad a 6" scope for his 80th birthday

2:20 pm

HarryHood

hi hi

2:20 pm

uusue2

The student had been caught by the lab TA - he would come in, sign the attendance sheet, leave, then come back and ask other students for their data

2:21 pm

uusue2

hi harry and molly! Harry, sounds like great fun!

2:21 pm

HarryHood

I'm tempted to keep it :)

2:21 pm

uusue2

lol, harry, I would be too!

2:22 pm

jesdraggon

ah. Silly of him. And in other news of smart people being stupid...just found out my cousin's hubby got caught using off-road diesel in his truck.

2:23 pm

uusue2

off-road diesel? I know people who make their own biodiesel - I think, at least here, as long as you don't sell it, it is legal

2:23 pm

uusue2

(or maybe they just don't tell anybody)

2:24 pm

HarryHood

any1 have the right hand E for nbt?

2:24 pm

jesdraggon

no, the red-dye diesel they sell at fuel stations. it's for off-road use only, tractors and such, and it's way less expensive because it doesn't have the road taxes included.

2:24 pm

uusue2

ej5/22 and ej6/36

2:24 pm

HarryHood

I had not idea JES

2:24 pm

uusue2

ah, that makes sense, jes, I'm sure they have it here too, for the farmers

2:24 pm

jesdraggon

so apparently, and i knew it was illegal but didn't know the groovy details until today, it's considered tax evasion to use it in road-licensed vehicles.

2:25 pm

HarryHood

2:25 pm

2:43 pm

3:18 pm

grr. li5 is not a word, it's an abbreviation of 2 words mooshed together.

3:21 pm

ah yes, I pointed that out in the physics babblets :-)

3:21 pm

uusue2

although my colleagues and I do use it as though it were an actual word...

3:22 pm

MollyL

Enable doesn't like mooshed either, but I do.

3:22 pm

jesdraggon

yeah, we do too, but that doesn't make it a real word... i use non-words all the time, but i know they're non-words :)

hi all, went to the longer, more difficult exercise class this am. and managed to make it through the whole class!

5:24 pm

ch1212

impressive, peri. I went for a short stroll around the neighborhood and managed to make it home ;)

5:25 pm

periwinkle

:)

5:25 pm

periwinkle

I was very pleased with myself. the class is called: Body Sculpt.

5:26 pm

ch1212

Wow. The name alone tells me I am even more impressed with your abilities. You go, girl!

5:26 pm

periwinkle

pretty good for an old gal like me

5:26 pm

periwinkle

can't believe I just used the word gal

5:27 pm

periwinkle

but I did not want to use the word girl

5:27 pm

ch1212

How old are we talking? (I just checked your profile and didn't see age, but LOVE that recipe and will try it!)

5:27 pm

periwinkle

70

5:27 pm

periwinkle

but don

5:27 pm

periwinkle

but don't feel that old and don't think I look that old and age is only a number

5:28 pm

ch1212

NO!!! Oh my gosh! (Bow, bow, in reverence and awe)

5:28 pm

MollyL

Peri = Buff...Good for you Peri!!

5:28 pm

periwinkle

hope you like the recipe

5:28 pm

periwinkle

thanks Molly. most of the women in the class looked younger than me but I did not care

5:28 pm

ch1212

Age is indeed a number. One my 'oldest' friends is what I tell her, "84 going on 28".

5:28 pm

MollyL

And not caring is the secret. You do it for you. : )

5:29 pm

ch1212

She teaches at community college, volunteers at the theatre, travels the globe, runs a Senior program, and helps people getting their citizenship.

5:29 pm

periwinkle

I am naturally slim but trying to get rid of a bid of a roll around my middle which no one seems to notice but me

5:30 pm

periwinkle

good for her, ch1212. I am curious and want to continue to grow and to learn new things. It is when you stop growing and learn that you grow old.

5:30 pm

ch1212

(Thinking about the phrase 'naturally slim' and wondering what that would be like ... )

5:31 pm

periwinkle

this grid is tough for me. but plodding along

5:32 pm

ch1212

Ditto.

5:33 pm

ch1212

Oooh! Just got a response from a genealogy question on a post. bbl!

6:07 pm

periwinkle

got it thanks

6:07 pm

crosshair

there we go;)

6:08 pm

periwinkle

def is a person who is an expert in hunting

6:08 pm

viajes

it was well-hidden -- thank you!

6:10 pm

crosshair

The American Heritage Dictionary offers two distinct definitions of a ni6 -- either a hunter, or a person regarded as silly or foolish. The dictionary goes on to explain that the second meaning probably originated with the cartoon character Bugs Bunny. The wily Bugs used the term in its original sense to refer to dithering hunter Elmer Fudd, whom he called a "poor little Nimrod." Over time, however, the "hunter" meaning got dropped, and the "dithering" connotation stuck.

6:10 pm

viajes

I should have kept looking for idiot; the biblical name thing threw me off :P never would have dreamed that's where it came form

6:10 pm

*from

6:11 pm

crosshair

so it seems warner bros may have altered it from its intended form

6:11 pm

VIa, the PB is loaded up with hot appetizers and an open bar, help yourself.

6:12 pm

6:12 pm

6:12 pm

viajes

Ew, but okay.

6:13 pm

crosshair

or i will make us crossy,s perfect martini

6:15 pm

crosshair

tiy take a jumbo frosted martini glass and add 4 ounces of high end gin or vodka, if vodka use pearl onions,if gin use pimento olives..take a sterling silver cocktail sword and impale 3 olive or onions and gently float into the gin or vodka..now lean over the glass and whisper the name Antonio Benedetto Carpano and serve

6:18 pm

viajes

so... what does the name do?

6:20 pm

crosshair

the name is the man who invented vermouth

6:20 pm

viajes

ahhhh... I get it :P

6:21 pm

Nef

Good Evening. Evidently crossy and my DH know each other; DH says the best martinis are gin and a glance at the vermouth bottle

6:26 pm

MollyL

It's an old story, going back, way back, that perfect Martini has no vermouth. Mention was made of that several times in the classic series MASH.

6:29 pm

viajes

I keep really wanting to put in acorn

6:30 pm

Nef

yeah, it didn't work for me either

6:31 pm

viajes

I give up... hints for the acs please?

6:32 pm

Nef

sorry, viajes, I just started myself

6:33 pm

viajes

found the ac6... now just the 5...

6:33 pm

Nef

6:34 pm

6:35 pm

viajes

ty!

6:35 pm

MollyL

I had to think about that for a minute Nef. The green vegetable that grows and grows. : )

6:35 pm

viajes

question for Crossy, if he's still there... why this obsession with tiny amounts of vermouth? why not just, you know, not use it?

6:36 pm

MollyL

Nef, how is your husband doing?

6:36 pm

viajes

(the version I've heard of that is, "wave the bottle over the martini" but I think your version has even less...)

6:36 pm

Nef

very well, Molly (I guess I should update my profile, huh?)

6:38 pm

oh well, I guess I will never know... I'm going to *poof* myself into a book

bye via. hi sue

6:41 pm

MollyL

Just checking in Nef. I know you have been busy taking care of him and wondered how things were going.

6:41 pm

uusue2

hi, nef! Glad to hear your husband is doing better!

6:43 pm

MollyL

Poor Via, she will never know that the classic recipe for a dry martini is a healthy shot of gin and a moment of silence for the vermouth. : )

6:43 pm

crosshair

even better molly,i just honor the copyright and say the mans name

6:44 pm

Nef

my biggest problem is he doesn't think about consequences to being stupid. He's fallen several times and wasn't using a cane or anything at the time. I worry that he's going to mess up his back again (he's developed sciatica again

6:44 pm

uusue2

when I worked at Los Alamos, the people testing the weapons said the best thing was to strap a bottle of vermouth to the "device" and then hold your martini glass up in the air after the device went off (typical black humor)

6:45 pm

crosshair

nef,that was my fil,s biggest issue,he got "delicate" past the age of 70,but was too proud to use a cane.every time he would take a fall he would destroy himseld

6:45 pm

uusue2

oh, dear, nef, it can be hard to get them to be sensible, can't it?

6:45 pm

crosshair

i like it sue!

6:45 pm

MollyL

Ah, "he doesn't think about the consequences of being stupid". I could write a thesis on that about the male species.

6:46 pm

Nef

I don't know how much is his male hormones telling him he's invincible or if his short term memory is that short!

6:46 pm

crosshair

easy molly cast not stone in glass houses

6:48 pm

crosshair

crossy uses his cane when the sciatica is really bad.have no choice darn right foot turns outward

6:48 pm

MollyL

Either way, he is lucky to have you there to make sure he's okay.

6:48 pm

crosshair

he is indeed nef

6:49 pm

Nef

When he was in the hospital; I found and gave him the perfect get well card. The front says "If you'd just DO what I TELL you I wouldn't have to be so BOSSY!" -Addison Graves, age 4"

6:49 pm

stidmama

rofl, Nef!

6:49 pm

Nef

He thought we should frame it; but he hasn't done that yet. I'm going to have to find a frame before I go on vacation with my sisters on Saturday for a week!

6:50 pm

stidmama

*suspicious mama look* what did dh do this time? *goes to look back in chat*

6:50 pm

uusue2

hi stid!

6:50 pm

I've told him I can't go if he won't behave....

6:51 pm

stidmama

hey sue! did you like my neutrino poem?

6:51 pm

uusue2

I did, stid! Very nice!

6:51 pm

stidmama

A whole week's vacation, Nef? that sounds like a really nice idea!

6:51 pm

stidmama

*beams at praise*

6:52 pm

stidmama

and then today it's mhos...

6:52 pm

Nef

stid, among other things, he went out the back door and slipped on the steps and fell and broke our palstic window box herb garden; he fell directly on his surgery site breaking the window box.

6:54 pm

trentsnana

Oh, okay. There is someone on here that lives in DC and is remodeling her house.

6:54 pm

6:54 pm

That's JMC, TNana.

6:55 pm

Nef

I SO need a break. I hope this week off will help; but it won't if I have to worry the whole time

6:55 pm

crosshair

not bad at all trentsnana and how is your lovely self?

6:55 pm

trentsnana

Maybe it's jmc

6:55 pm

stidmama

you're thinking of jmc if remodling is involved! LOL

6:55 pm

trentsnana

A little tired, but great.

6:55 pm

MollyL

TNana, did you get that, from all the comments? : P

6:55 pm

stidmama

Nef: I am SURE he will be okay while you are going. Who is going to check in with him to be sure he's eating?

6:55 pm

trentsnana

Yup

6:56 pm

trentsnana

My chat is slow, so I guessed before I was actually told, I think.

6:56 pm

Nef

I threatened to duct tape him to the chair before I leave; but who knows what he'd do to get out! ;-)

6:56 pm

MollyL

Nef, don't you dare worry. You have earned this break, take it, and have a great time.

6:57 pm

stidmama

*quietly superglues dh posterior to chair cushion*

6:57 pm

oh! there's a grid! LOL how is it? worth starting?

6:57 pm
