melonheadjujube

I do make a good one, and it's trÃ¨s easy. put ladyfingers in a pan, sprinle w/espresso. beat together mascarpoe + powdered sugar + amaretto and a little salt, layer. repeat. garnish w/ground espresso. No chocolate! That's it. Now, the thing is: I don't measure! Which is fine for a small pan, but I need to think about how to octuple my usual quantity. Might make a test one first, keeping track of measure,emts. This is for my synagogue for saturday night. Holiday is Shavuoth.

12:59 am

melonheadjujube

mascarpoNe! sorry.

1:12 am

negativeneil

I was stuck on a word here.

1:12 am

negativeneil

Hi and same to you, melon. :)

1:12 am

1:13 am

Glad to hear that flosey.

1:13 am

jillibus

1:14 am

negativeneil

Hi jilli. How are you doing?

1:14 am

melonheadjujube

Ok, now really to bed. {{poof}}

1:14 am

Erda

I just wrote you a note, Neil, and it disappeared. In short: I'm OK and thanks for asking.

1:15 am

negativeneil

Oh, ok Erda... well that's good to know!

1:16 am

jillibus

Doing fine, thanks, neil -- and you?

1:16 am

negativeneil

How did it disapear? Did the chog eat it?

1:16 am

negativeneil

Good to hear jilli and I'm well thanks.

1:17 am

negativeneil

I find the chog get stuck sometimes. And not always at the hiccup time either.

1:17 am

Erda

No idea, Neil. It's a strange day, all around...

1:17 am

negativeneil

I think I entered a post and it's not there. So I do it again then suddenly after a delay, it appears in duplicate... sometimes triplicate even.

1:18 am

negativeneil

You're telling me, Erda? We could compare notes... but I'm betting my strange day outstranges yours. lol

1:18 am

Erda

Eh -- cute!

1:18 am

rururocks

when the going gets strange.. the strange get going

1:18 am

Erda

outstrange -- now there's a word I must remember!

1:18 am

negativeneil

ru! :)

1:19 am

negativeneil

Sorry about my tireness last night... oy vey. Did I even make any sense at all? I'm doubting it.

1:19 am

rururocks

yes.. a lot of sense actually

1:19 am

negativeneil

I was mixing up everything. I was seriously overtired... had not slept the night before.

1:19 am

negativeneil

Oh cool ok. I know I didn't make total sense but at least I tried. lol

1:20 am

rururocks

ah.. to be young and stay up all night

1:20 am

rururocks

I miss those days

1:20 am

negativeneil

And the date thing... he's still in NYC so Mom put the celebration off until he's back, briefly. So I guess in my mixup it hadn't happened yet, haha.

1:21 am

rururocks

there are medications for hallucinations neil

1:21 am

negativeneil

Oh it wasn't voluntary. Just had a sleepless night... being woken up by a car alarm on the street didn't help much. I wished I had a gun!

1:21 am

rururocks

:)

1:21 am

negativeneil

I would've shot the alarm off through the car window, no kidding.

1:21 am

rururocks

I hear that. I hate those things

1:22 am

negativeneil

No kidding. I don't have one. Nobody would want to steal my old dinged up truck anyway.

1:22 am

rururocks

We have a neighbor who's car is so sensitive that when a motorcycle goes by it sets it off

1:22 am

negativeneil

Oh man. I bet that neighbor's not too well liked?

1:23 am

rururocks

not really.. I've had a few choice words..

1:23 am

negativeneil

Haha @ medications for hallucinations. Yeah... and drugs that produce them too. :P

1:23 am

negativeneil

I bet. I sure would.. and a few of them would be repeats of a certain "bomb" too.

1:23 am

Erda

I live in a very quiet neighborhood and I often wonder what makes people keep slamming all those eight-door cars in the middle of the night...

1:23 am

rururocks

he's the winner of the TOny Robbins look a like contest

1:24 am

negativeneil

Oh hell Erda. We live in an apartment building and I'm constantly wondering why some people feel a door is not shut properly unless it's SLAMMED shut.

1:24 am

Erda

Yup, Neil.

1:24 am

rururocks

I couldn't live in an apt any longer

1:24 am

negativeneil

He seriously is?

1:25 am

negativeneil

Well ru. We're young and broke... so not much choice for now. At least it's a home.

1:26 am

rururocks

yes.. we all gotta start somewhere

1:26 am

negativeneil

And mostly it's not bad.

1:26 am

negativeneil

There are worse buildings we could be in for sure.

1:26 am

rururocks

I got my first apartment at 16

1:26 am

negativeneil

Wow. I was still in HS then.

1:26 am

rururocks

I was too

1:27 am

negativeneil

Why did you move out? And how did you support yourself if you were in school full time?

1:27 am

rururocks

I worked graveyard and went to school during the day

1:27 am

negativeneil

Ok. Then when did you sleep?

1:28 am

negativeneil

At work?

1:28 am

rururocks

in the afternoon

1:28 am

negativeneil

You needed a job as a mattress tester. Perfect.

1:28 am

rururocks

I went to work at midnight

1:28 am

negativeneil

Wow. You didn't get much sleep then.

1:28 am

rururocks

nope

1:29 am

rururocks

but it was better than what I left

1:29 am

negativeneil

Oh man. That bad?

1:30 am

rururocks

yeah.. that bad.. that's why you need to treasure your parents.. you got good ones

1:31 am

negativeneil

I do ru... every day. I'm sorry you didn't. :(

1:31 am

rururocks

it's fine.. past that now.. I have a good life now

1:31 am

negativeneil

I'm glad.

1:31 am

rururocks

thanks

1:32 am

rururocks

other than these stupid grids

1:32 am

negativeneil

Amazing how someone can come from that and turn out as well as you have.

1:32 am

negativeneil

Ha. But you always finish them?

1:32 am

negativeneil

Of course.

1:33 am

rururocks

not always.. but almost always..

1:33 am

negativeneil

You've just gotta beat them into submission sometimes. These grids I mean... not your parents. :P

1:33 am

rururocks

.. if I could just have dart arrested for a few days

1:33 am

negativeneil

Haha!

1:33 am

negativeneil

So what's this "race" you have with him? To get higher in the rankings?

1:34 am

rururocks

he threw the gauntlet a while ago.. I'm chasing him.. just to keep him honest

1:34 am

negativeneil

You believe that?

1:34 am

negativeneil

He's sneaky, remember.

1:35 am

rururocks

ever sooo sneaky

1:35 am

rururocks

*waves to dart*

1:35 am

negativeneil

Yep. But I have a feeling you are too. ;)

1:35 am

negativeneil

Exactly. He's probably right here.

1:35 am

rururocks

rururocks

LOL ... really?

1:37 am

rururocks

I'm a light sleeper

1:37 am

flosey

1:38 am

rururocks

1:38 am

rururocks

1:43 am

negativeneil

Oh yeah and obviously the most recent 2 are not from East Asia. Although the one of my neighborhood is my photography.

1:44 am

DTins

anyone having trouble with loading ironsudoku please

1:44 am

negativeneil

And the last one of me and Brad was taken by Elisse.

1:44 am

jillibus

I had several more there a while ago, neil -- don't know why they disappeared. I must add some more!

1:44 am

negativeneil

Haven't tried, DTins... but I will now.

1:44 am

DTins

TY Neil

1:44 am

negativeneil

Yep. Error... code red. Won't load.

1:45 am

DTins

TY same here

1:45 am

negativeneil

Oh reallyjllli? That happened to some of mine a while ago too and I thought it was just me.

1:45 am

DTins

I'll try it later

1:45 am

rururocks

night. .. see you tomorrow

1:45 am

negativeneil

Yeah. I'm sure it will be back up at least by tomorrow.

1:45 am

negativeneil

Night ru.

1:46 am

negativeneil

I'm off to sleep too.

1:46 am

negativeneil

Sure need it. Still not caught up on that.

1:46 am

anike

fireworks and farewell - happy babbling

1:46 am

negativeneil

Congrats anike.

1:47 am

jillibus

maybe the guys who run jigidi just delete them after a while, although the ones there were submitted at about the same time.

1:47 am

jillibus

Hooray for anike and bye!

1:47 am

jillibus

gnight ruru

1:47 am

negativeneil

I don't know. But maybe, yeah? Could be they only have so much room and older ones get purged after a while... makes sense with so many people using the site and creating puzzles all the time.

2:06 am

jillibus

Did neil fall asleep?

2:13 am

jillibus

over halfway so I can go to bed -- goodnight if there's anyone there...*poof

2:40 am

lizmac

hi, who's seeing deckchair?

2:40 am

grannyrose

{{{liz}}}} long time no see, how are you?

2:42 am

grannyrose

i'm seeing architect....

2:42 am

lizmac

Fine Rose. Never seem to get enough time to Babble as much as I'd like these days. However, all good.

2:44 am

grannyrose

lovely to see you, dear. doing ok here as well.

2:44 am

lizmac

Right, that's 2 of the 9s out of the way LOL

2:44 am

grannyrose

doing better than i

2:45 am

grannyrose

but i do have less than 100 to find.....so the grey matter is functioning quite well, thank-you

2:46 am

lizmac

And.....true to form, better go and get washed and dressed.No Rose, I meant architect and deckchair. I haven't really got any 9s.

2:47 am

grannyrose

lol, liz.....see you alter, perhaps

2:47 am

grannyrose

* later *

2:48 am

lizmac

hopefully, byeeee

2:58 am

gapeach

Hi there, rose!!!!

2:58 am

grannyrose

hey peach

2:58 am

gapeach

You doing OK?

2:59 am

grannyrose

yeah, just another day in the workhouse....but only had to do 6 hours. and you, hun?

3:00 am

gapeach

Same as most days....sinus and allergies.....otherwise I'm OK. Just can't get to sleep. I've missed most of three summers..LOL

3:01 am

grannyrose

oh, dear, peach.... wish there was some advice i could give to help.

3:03 am

sprite

good morning, dear Babble friends

3:03 am

gapeach

I guess it is a pattern, rose. When I was able to work, I worked 3:00PM to 11:30PM ant then it took a couple of hours to unwind.

3:03 am

grannyrose

hey spritey, lovely grid today/night

3:03 am

gapeach

Hi there, sprite.

3:04 am

sprite

hey peach and rose :) *hug* Tough times, friends?

3:04 am

grannyrose

know th4 well. himself cannot understand how i can go and babble after a shift which finishes at 9:30pm.

3:05 am

sprite

babble is a great way to unwind

3:05 am

grannyrose

good grief....blinks in amazement....c's done

3:05 am

gapeach

Maybe we will get our clock's right some time.

3:05 am

sprite

good job, rose! Working on the Ks here.

3:06 am

gapeach

I tend to get caught up in it, sprite. Have to make myself go to bed. The dogs go to bed before I"m ready. LOL

3:07 am

sprite

:)
There are several exercises one can do to unwind and become sleep-ready. They might help you. Takes a bit of discipline to actually DO them, of course.

3:09 am

gapeach

I certainly would be willing to try. Whom should I contact?

3:10 am

sprite

I could email you a few. Got to translate them, but that should be no problem. Do you have an MP3 player? I could even make it into an MP3.

3:11 am

gapeach

Hon, I don't know exactly what I have here....I do have email though: gapeach106623@yahoo.com

3:12 am

sprite

ok, I will send you some. Within a few days, ok?

3:12 am

gapeach

Just put BABBLE on the subject line. I appreciate your helpfulness.

3:12 am

sprite

will do!

3:13 am

sprite

and np. That is what we are a babble community for.

3:13 am

grannyrose

would someone please tell me how to explain to himself, th4 reading out the entire menu from the ta4-away shop is NOT conducive to a positive response from someone who is playing babble?

3:14 am

sprite

LOLLLLL... please tell himself: "darling, you pick me my favorite. Thanks."

3:14 am

gapeach

That is a good reply.

3:15 am

grannyrose

before or after he reads the entire menu out aloud?

3:15 am

sprite

before. After, all you need to say is: "Yes. That one."

3:16 am

grannyrose

rofl....love your style

3:16 am

sprite

;)

3:18 am

sprite

Ks killed. No biggies at all.

3:19 am

grannyrose

watch out spritey, a few strange ones here. just finding them myself. some are really weird

3:19 am

sprite

bound to be, in a grid this size. I kinda like weirdos.

3:20 am

sprite

and lol, my new word from a few days back is here. The tree. With the beautiful berries. Berries one can eat.

3:20 am

grannyrose

yes, spritey

3:20 am

sprite

*smug* I remembered. All of it. And the plural. *smugger*

3:21 am

grannyrose

ok, ok, you are given permission to be smug

3:21 am

sprite

thanks :D

3:26 am

gapeach

sprite, I was just looking at your pictures in your profile.....great photos. I see you love animals too.

3:26 am

sprite

thank you :) Oh yes, love them lots. Animals are amazing creatures.

3:27 am

gapeach

The young man looks like George Clooney (I do believe he is better looking than George).

3:28 am

sprite

which pic is that?

3:28 am

gapeach

I can't remember not having dogs to love. They love unconditionally. They were (are) more faithful that either of my husbands. LOL

3:29 am

rubyfoo

good morning

3:29 am

rubyfoo

15 minutes to jump in

3:29 am

gapeach

Wait, I'll go back to the pictures and let you know.

3:29 am

sprite

hi ruby :)

3:30 am

grannyrose

morning dear friend.

3:30 am

sprite

lol @ faithfulness. I have not one single complaint about my husband in that area. But yes, dogs are amazingly loyal and faithful.

3:30 am

sprite

ruby, still trying to work out if I can come over. Need to find some money for the trip. Looks like it is going to work out :)

3:31 am

rubyfoo

oh yay, sprite!!!!!

3:32 am

sprite

if I would stay for about 3 days, would that be ok, or would that be too long and taxing for you?

3:32 am

rubyfoo

peach, in order to fall asleep, I go through the alphabet looking for 7-letter words for scrabble. There is nothing more moring; it works like a charm

3:32 am

rubyfoo

3:32 am

gapeach

It says Scrabbler's birthday Oct. 2010 and Haz's birthday Oct. 2010. On Scrabs birthday he has a green bunny on his lap.

3:32 am

rubyfoo

boring*

3:33 am

sprite

ah! That IS Clooney. Scrabs and Haz have a personal relationship with him ;)

3:33 am

sprite

( I sometimes make personal icons for Babblers, just for fun)

3:34 am

grannyrose

ahhhh, dinner here, bbl

3:34 am

gapeach

You are good, girl.

3:35 am

gapeach

Thanks for the suggestion for falling asleep. I will give a try, you can be sure.

3:36 am

gapeach

Ruby, I forgot to put your name on that one.....maybe I am getting sleepy.

3:37 am

sprite

enjoy, rose *hugs*

3:38 am

rubyfoo

sprite has made wonderful collages of chows for my husband

3:38 am

rubyfoo

sprite has made wonderful collages of chows for my husband
she is very talented

3:38 am

rubyfoo

sprite has made wonderful collages of chows for my husband
she is very talented

3:39 am

sprite

lol that does not take talent, it is just a bit of cut and paste. It is fun to do it. And if something makes your husband smile, it is a good thing ;)

3:40 am

gapeach

Rose, did you get the dinner you wanted?

3:48 am

sprite

still eating, I think :)

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I wish someone would read me a take-out menu! there's no take-out in our village

3:49 am

sprite

it is a shame, ruby. So handy, once in a while.

3:49 am

rubyfoo

especially Chinese!

3:49 am

sprite

ruby, I think you missed my question earlier:
if I would stay for about 3 days, would that be ok, or would that be too long and taxing for you?

3:49 am

rubyfoo

there isn't a single decent oriental restaurant in the whole agglomeration

3:50 am

rubyfoo

that would be heaven! no, I didn't see the question

3:50 am

sprite

aw you must miss good chinese food very much :(

3:50 am

rubyfoo

do you eat spicy food?

3:50 am

rubyfoo

and what are your favorite drinks?

3:50 am

gapeach

Well, dear ones, my eyes are getting droopy...since it is almost 5:00AM here, I guess they are allowed to be droopy. See y'all later...I still have 83 more to find. Hugs.

3:51 am

rubyfoo

what color wine, e.g.?

3:51 am

sprite

oh yes, love it. As long as it has taste and is not only burning my tongue off

3:51 am

rubyfoo

{{peach}} I hope you can sleep

3:51 am

sprite

sleep well, peach. *hug*

3:51 am

sprite

I don't drink alcohol, it does not go with my meds.

3:52 am

rubyfoo

orange or grapefruit?

3:52 am

sprite

would 3 days be ok or too long/taxing, ruby?

3:52 am

sprite

either or both :D

3:52 am

rubyfoo

3 days is perfect!

3:52 am

sprite

good!

3:53 am

rubyfoo

and puppy has settled down nicely; no more biting

3:54 am

sprite

ok. I think I will try to ta4 Terra along then. He will love the adventure.

3:55 am

rubyfoo

and will be company for you in the car

3:55 am

rubyfoo

does he wear a seat belt?

3:55 am

sprite

I might come by train. There seems to be a speedy connection.

3:56 am

sprite

no, if I come by car, Terra will be in a travel bench.

3:56 am

rubyfoo

that is better, then you can read!

3:56 am

rubyfoo

and the train is 7 minutes from the house

3:57 am

rubyfoo

have to run; I'm happy, sprite!

3:57 am

sprite

yes :) And walk, etc. I need to switch trains in Paris, but that should be ok. good metro there.

3:57 am

sprite

bye ruby :) Me too!

4:05 am

lynxxx

How lovely Sprite - I am very happy for both of you. I am sure Bert(Burt?) will be pleased to meet you too

4:10 am

sprite

hi lyn :) xxx
I hope so. I might be a bit of a distraction for him, from his troubles. And I can make ruby smile a lot ;)

4:13 am

lynxxx

and what an adventure for Terra, he will be beside himself

4:14 am

sprite

he is such an easy dog. He loves everything, is never afraid, is curious as can be and he is ok with sleeping for hours if nothing happens.

4:15 am

grannyrose

* sulking* spritey gets to visit ruby before me....not really.....so glad you can visit her, spritey, she does so need some wholesome female companionship.

4:15 am

lynxxx

wholesome! - see Sprite, a new description for you!

4:16 am

lynxxx

Hello Rose

4:16 am

sprite

roflollllllll! omg...

4:16 am

sprite

wb rose! Did you get the meal you wanted?

4:17 am

sprite

well I promise to make her laugh... and talk. Can't promise more than th4.

4:25 am

lynxxx

what a fun grid, any combo you try takes

4:25 am

sprite

I agree! Really good one.

4:35 am

sprite

found me a 9!

4:36 am

lynxxx

clever girl

4:37 am

sprite

*grin* Am always late with the biggies. But it feels good to find some by myself.

4:40 am

grannyrose

yes thanx, spritey. just had the best chicken kebab ever. and no nasty after-effects.

4:40 am

sprite

ha good!

4:41 am

grannyrose

me thinks the bowel probs are actually due to stressing out about the surgery. i used to throw up when stressed, th4 time????

4:42 am

sprite

can't say for you, but I know it works that way for me. Whenever I am stressed, the bowels are misbehaving.

4:43 am

sprite

at least it is better than throwing up, hun. You will get some food inside of you this way.

4:43 am

grannyrose

yeah, but it doesn't hang around for long, lol

4:44 am

sprite

*grin* no. But longer than when the stomach misbehaves.

4:44 am

lynxxx

now see the trick is not to think about the surgery - I know I NEVER thought about it beforehand. Besides that weeks and weeks away

4:46 am

sprite

hm, not for me. If I don't think about it, it will stress me up more, unconsciously. Best for me is to take a moment, register all I feel about it and what it does with my body. Then put it aside for a minute and just breathe consciously. And then focus back on myself and accept that this is how it is.

4:46 am

lynxxx

however I did think about the lovely rest I would get in hospital and being waited on hand and foot - lovely!

4:47 am

sprite

hehehe... I love you, lyn. you are such a wise woman.

4:47 am

grannyrose

lyn, not sure if you know, but have been formally diagnosed as unstable andina, plus the central sleep apnoea....do you see where i'm going with th4? frankly, i'm scared outta my brain. i know, i know, us nurses know too much.

4:48 am

sprite

andina? Or is that angina?

4:48 am

grannyrose

and i won't have a computer to play babble for 6-10 days...waaahhhh!!!

4:48 am

lynxxx

Yes - you do know too much. You are in very good hands - you should know, you picked them!

4:48 am

sprite

lol rose, trust me, you will be ok. The withdrawal from Babble will be the worst of it all.

4:49 am

grannyrose

lol, angina...duh, my brain is slowing down. have taken my night-time meds.

4:49 am

lynxxx

Maybe treat yourself to a Kindle or like Rose...you can read and pretend it is Babble!

4:49 am

sprite

have your love print out the puzzles and play on paper :D

4:50 am

grannyrose

hey, what about himself putting babble, enable and lickety onto his laptop? think it will work?

4:50 am

sprite

yes of course

4:50 am

lynxxx

are you sure you can't take your laptop in Rose? I hear some hospitals have WiFi now

4:50 am

sprite

most hospitals have internet now

4:51 am

grannyrose

then he can use the desk top, and i can have the laptop. * grin *

4:51 am

lynxxx

absolutely!!!

4:51 am

grannyrose

i don't have a laptop personally, use the desktop. he has the laptop.

4:52 am

sprite

well, a hospital stay is a very good reason to trade for a couple of days.

4:52 am

lynxxx

He will love to 'lend' it to you I am sure

4:52 am

grannyrose

especially as he still owes me a bathroom

4:52 am

sprite

argh! That is true. No chance he will finish that before you come home?

4:53 am

lynxxx

he had better pull his finger out hadn't he?

4:53 am

sprite

lol lyn!

4:54 am

lynxxx

just a common expression here Sprite - does sound rather rude when written out I just realised

4:54 am

grannyrose

handed him the "p0ackage" from the surgeon to read. it says an occupational therapist will home visit before surgery, to make sure everything is sake for me. if it isn't, i have to go into rehab until it is....

4:54 am

sprite

love it, lyn. So very apt.

4:55 am

sprite

that should put him into motion.

4:55 am

grannyrose

oh dear....*package* and *safe*

4:55 am

lynxxx

so that would mean he has to look after Mum and visit you every night - he HAD better get busy!

4:56 am

grannyrose

don't think he will like it, if i'm not here to keep things ticking over.

4:56 am

sprite

almost done and now I finally see the superlative ending. Jeez.

4:57 am

grannyrose

lol, absolutely....and since he cannot write a shopping li4, we could be in a pack of trouible

4:57 am

lynxxx

what will happen with MIL Rose, esp while you are in hospital - can you get her into respite?

4:57 am

sprite

if you will allow me this bit of criticism, I think it is time for him to grow up.

4:59 am

lynxxx

hang on Sprite - that is a bloke you are talking about!

4:59 am

grannyrose

her care- co-ordinator is looking into th4 aspect, lyn. she realises hubby is going to have his hands very full.....what are our chances of getting his sister to look after mum for a while? but MIL does have respite booked for 3 weeks, starting 9th july.

4:59 am

sprite

so? Blokes are people too :)

5:00 am

lynxxx

only (half) joking

5:00 am

grannyrose

agree, sprite, himself needs to get his act together. i won't be here to pull him out of the gunky, so to speak.

5:01 am

sprite

hehehe I know. But I really believe that men can do anything we can, if it comes to planning and caring and getting life organised. They just do it in another way than we. And when they are not used to do it themselves, it can be scary.

5:02 am

sprite

so he will make some mistakes, rose. He will manage. And learn along the way, just like we do ;) ;)

5:03 am

grannyrose

well, after the last experience, when i had my ankle fused...i can assure you, he is going to be very firmly put in his place, he is the carer, I AM THE PATIENT!!!!

5:03 am

sprite

exactly. It is up to you to say NO to all demands that are not helping your recuperation. As simple as that.

5:04 am

grannyrose

i hear you sister.

5:04 am

sprite

:)

5:07 am

grannyrose

my dear friends, have to be up and outta here in 10 hours. still have a couple of emails to respond to, then bed for me. love, hugs, and look after yourselves.

5:07 am

sprite

will think of you, rose. Take care of yourself, hun. *hug*

5:07 am

lynxxx

see you Rose - you do the same won't you. xx

5:08 am

grannyrose

*poof*

5:09 am

sprite

ha5/22 is a weird one

5:10 am

fireflies :) What a lovely grid this is.

5:11 am

lynxxx

Congrats!!

5:11 am

sprite

thank you :) Don't need to ask you if you need any help... have a lovely evening, lyn! And bye all.

5:12 am

lynxxx

bye Sprite - enjoy the rest of your day

5:12 am

6:46 am

molly, you could not be more on the money. every actor in the movie is on their game, and it is so absorbing and funny and poignant and just top notch. can't remember when I last saw such a good one

6:47 am

MollyL

Good. I'm looking forward to it coming out on DVD.

6:48 am

Trifioso

oh, COME ON - since when is the sh5,20 also a verb?

6:48 am

jwr

Tri - eyes wandered over to the chat on my way out ... and caught "Marigold" -- saw it last night too - and it went to my Film Favorites list. Haven't seen such a group of uniquely memorable characters in years. Will read the book.

6:49 am

Trifioso

thanks jwr. glad to be validated!

6:49 am

6:51 am

jwr

I think we're in the same latitude at least -- San Francisco. going 'poof' in a minute, calls coming in. Gotta get back on the crisis lines.

6:52 am

jwr

or is that longitude??

6:52 am

Trifioso

hmmm. hardly handy, san francisco...guess we were not in the same theatre then!

6:53 am

I have been corrected - ti**s are arachnids! I don't thinkyou can call it American - the largest number of species is in Africa, and Britain actually has a surveillance program. any warm damp place will be habitable for them, apparently - how we got them in Canada is a mystery!

hey all, home with a migraine. should I give this one a try?

1:13 pm

Kazzer99

its quite large with lots or normal words but some toughies that i have had to monkey with but it feels slow

1:14 pm

stidmama

thanks kazzer, I won't try to get too many then -- if there are lots of normal words I might get halfway without too much effort. how's you today?

1:14 pm

wvteach

depends - the first 100 were fun and came quickly - then it slowed down - are you comforetable with just doing how much you enjoy

1:16 pm

sammysmom

stid- put a facecloth soaked with half apple cider vinegar and half water on your head and wade into the grid

1:17 pm

Kazzer99

hot and itchy for some reason (the itchy not the hot). Fed up with everything today - work as a pile of one of the words in the grid

1:17 pm

stidmama

LOL thanks teach and sammysmom -- only ever really attempt halfway these days and that's not too hard on the big grids. Usually. I am more humble and realistic nowadays (compared to when I started babbling).

1:18 pm

stidmama

sorry to hear that kazzer -- iced tea? lemonade? those make me feel better on hot sticky days.

1:18 pm

periwinkle

child behavior question. how old should a child be before she/he is put in a time out?

1:18 pm

Kazzer99

I have been at it for about an hour and got 49 words since I started (I got the first big chunk this morning)

1:18 pm

sammysmom

two i think

1:18 pm

sammysmom

worked for me

1:19 pm

periwinkle

ok then the child in question will be three the end of June, not getting much discipline from parents

1:19 pm

sammysmom

a 30 second time out is a big deal when you are that young

1:19 pm

Kazzer99

time out as go and sit in the corner/naughty step? as soon as they know the word NO

1:19 pm

periwinkle

wonder what would happen if I suggested a time out?

1:19 pm

stidmama

depends on the child, peri -- and what you mean by time out. Also depends on why you think a time out is needed... very young kids can handle a time out if they have done something physically destructive.

1:19 pm

periwinkle

he know the word no but is turning into kind of a brat

1:19 pm

periwinkle

just bratty

1:20 pm

periwinkle

meant like sit on the bottom step

1:20 pm

Kazzer99

I also found that ignoring the worst of the tantrums worked - well it did with my son. I left in the middle of a store once having a screaming fit. Just said goodbye and walked way - worked a treat

1:20 pm

stidmama

If the child hasn't been on a time out before then it will take training to get him there; the first step will be to be consistent, and choose one thing at a time.

1:21 pm

periwinkle

thanks for the advice. I am not the parent and the parents seem to be letting him get away with stuff that I would not

1:21 pm

sammysmom

i have 4 kids,4 grands, and 2 great grands... not a brat in the bunch... lol

1:21 pm

stidmama

I ignored mine (the one who threw tantrums) too! In the middle of the team store at a baseball game. Stepped right over him (in the middle of the aisle) and kept walking. He stopped throwing his fit and followed me. LOL

1:22 pm

crosshair

we did the time out thing when our boy was young and the rule of thumb was one minute for each year of age,and to use the same spot/chair each time

1:22 pm

periwinkle

thing is if this behavior is ignored now it will only get worse.

1:22 pm

medusa

the other way is to throw a fit back at them. it shocks them into stopping

1:22 pm

Kazzer99

its a difficult one - some parents just don't seem to care what the little darlings do. thats exactly what my son did

1:22 pm

sammysmom

kids NEED to know their boundaries.... it is cruel not to set them and keep to them... sort of like a safety net i think

1:22 pm

stidmama

kids can understand at that age that different rules apply in different places, peri -- but they will test to be sure you mean it, so just be calm and stick to the expectation. Don't ignore or be patient with dangerous or potentially destructive behaviors, of course.

1:23 pm

stidmama

...and there are also children whose parents DO care and set limits, but the children refuse to follow rules anyway. That is a bigger issue than time outs, though.

1:23 pm

Kazzer99

i think i was vert strict with my son - I never smacked him but he got put to bed quite often

1:24 pm

Kenny Chuck

Anybody has a clue for the ra8?

1:24 pm

sammysmom

1:24 pm

stidmama

1:25 pm

1:30 pm

movieman

It's been in the mid 20's degree-wise here

oh come on cross... alexis was worth it.

2:11 pm

crosshair

too much baggage and drama on her

2:11 pm

MollyL

I think every female villian since Alexis Carrington has strived to achieve her greatness. The funniest episode of Dynasty ever was the church massacre.

2:12 pm

where only minor characters died right?

2:12 pm

Exactly : )

2:20 pm

cosdem

huh. u can also watch dynasty on cbs.com

2:22 pm

MollyL

I think there must be bad blood between Edelstein and the people at House. Not only was she not asked back for the show's finale episode, but there was barely a mention of Cuddy in it.

2:25 pm

Soodle

Truly, truly I say to you.... you do NOT want to see Soodle in a state of undress on a trampoline.

5:09 pm

7:43 pm

lilliann

*i can't

7:43 pm

Minveryork

Good phantom scrambler!

7:43 pm

stidmama

raspberries might grow in a pot, they like a more acid soil. Citrus trees (some varieties like kumquats especially) do well in pots, but need to be inside when it gets really cold.

7:44 pm

stidmama

there are "columnar" apples and pears that are pot-friendly as well and are okay left outside in most weather.

7:44 pm

lilliann

i do have apple,plum,pear, and cherry trees in pots

7:44 pm

stidmama

I would try any fruit that you really love in pots... blueberries, especially the dwarf kind, would do really well.

7:45 pm

stidmama

same with lingonberries, too.

7:45 pm

stidmama

does that help?

7:45 pm

lilliann

i have raspberries,blackcurrant and redcurrant bushes in back garden but i can't get to them so the birds have a feast, plus my bairn won't pick the berries for me

7:46 pm

lilliann

lingonberries?

7:46 pm

scrambler

thanks min

7:46 pm

stidmama

the lovely thing about growing things in pots is that you can get the soil "just right" for each plant

7:46 pm

stidmama

they are the red vaccinia (related to blueberries) that are common in scandinavia

7:46 pm

lilliann

if they come with canes as in can be planted in tubs then yes, tyvm stid

7:47 pm

stidmama

I have currants and gooseberries in pots, too, now that you mention it! LOL I am a well-ventilated thinker today...

7:47 pm

7:48 pm

Yes, lilliann, I didn't know at the time that you have a chair lift. I rented one when I was living with my daughter in CT for 7 years....it was my only means of getting from the main floor to the basement and garage. I had a chair at each end and it worked wonderfully.

8:22 pm

lilliann

i don't have a stair lift...is that a lift or a chair that goes up the stairs? i go up the stairs on my bum

8:22 pm

gapeach

Some are called stair lifts or stair chair glides. They can install them if you have a turn in your staircase. It gives one much more freedom.

8:22 pm

lilliann

and come down on it too :)

8:22 pm

welki

hi folks!

8:23 pm

Minveryork

Hello welki!How are you doing? Welcome to the puzzle

8:23 pm

wht

Hi flosey

8:25 pm

gapeach

Oh, Hon, this would be so helpful for you. You would turn the chair lift so that you could transfer from it and then turn it so you will be facing forward and press a button and it will take you up or down and then turn so that you can transfer to a waiting chair at the other end. Please check into it, believe me, it was worth every penny. I didn't buy one because I didn't think it would fit another house...so I rented it for $95.00 per month.

8:26 pm

lilliann

we don't call them either, memory lax..trying to think what we do call them...it will come to me in a while...i can't have one in my house as stairs not wide enough, well they are but then my bairn and hubby can't walk past it plus my stairs go around in a square and i have a big window at the bottom and id we get rid of that then there would be no natural daylight

8:28 pm

gapeach

The seat and foot rest fold up when not in use. Takes up a small amount of space.

8:28 pm

welki

googled them for the UK - stairlifts - http://www.stairliftadvisor.co.uk/

8:29 pm

lilliann

my house isn't built for one peach:( and to be quite honest, i'm 43 and want to do as much as i can whilst i can, but as i get older we will have to move to a bungalow, very expensive to buy where we live so will have to wait until out daughter moves out and rent a council one

8:30 pm

flosey

oh,good for you welki, Lilliann, do hope you'll be able to find something that will fit your situation

8:30 pm

bichon

ca 6, brand of sneaker?

8:30 pm

gapeach

I don't think it would affect your window light as it is atttached to the bottom of the staircase. And making the turn wouldn't be a problem for the installers.

8:30 pm

8:31 pm

periwinkle

ty welki, good clue

8:31 pm

lilliann

the problem is welki, ny house isn't built for a stair lift, our hallways are too narrow, so the seat, and what it runs on will take the the width of the stairdase

8:31 pm

bichon

ca 6, brand of sneaker?

8:32 pm

periwinkle

are you asking for a clue, bichon?

8:32 pm

flosey

as7 the exercise of self discipline

8:32 pm

welki

as7 = self discipline - hard to clue, but as + sounds like nautical sibling, but spelled all weirdy

8:32 pm

lilliann

it would peach, because for the seat to go around my staircase, i would jhave to brick up the window

8:33 pm

bichon

nautical sibling

8:33 pm

Jacula

Hi all. Lil - there is another solution to the sarit lift. A separate lift that doesn't take up too much room and takes you upstairs. See DIY SOS for an example.

8:33 pm

Jacula

*stair lift, I meant!

8:34 pm

Hi Peri.

8:35 pm

lilliann

i saw that and we were going to have one but the council wouldn't let ius and we put in for planning permission years ago but the council wouldn't let us as we needed to extend the house a little bit and they said it wasn't in keeping with the rest of the houses!!

8:35 pm

gapeach

Oh, I see, lilliann. Perhaps you will find just the right home later, maybe all on one floor. Best luck to you.

8:37 pm

Jacula

Lil - how long since you asked the council that? Ask again, since members may have changed and be sure to ask the opposition, too. You can be sure the opposition councillor will get it sorted for you!

8:38 pm

lilliann

3/4 years ago and we still have the same councillors

8:38 pm

Minveryork

Hello bichon! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid

Minveryork

I opened up th4/5 websi4/4 as soon as from work. I started to at6/33 the puzzle at about 5:00.I at 8/70 it without Lickety's li4/4. Then I li 6/21 after I found 170 words.Made it to 200 words and gave up on grid. Now here is a story for my de4/5 Babble friends. I de 6/21 people who are ra6/21 pigs! I think that it is so unet5/14al of them to dislike others because of their ra 4/5. They seem to have it et 4/6ed in their minds th 4/5 they are better than people with da 4/9 color skin. They don't like African Americans, but they see nothing wrong w/those who are white tr5/12.I think th4/5 those who are ra6/21 are tr 6/27 themselves. Unfortunately, there have been some gr 6/30 crimes against black people when they have been ha6/39 to death. Even hubby has made his stupid remarks. For example,one time I told him one of my students had li 4/5. He asked if the student was black. My anger so 4/4ed and I hi6/24 at him for asking th4/5 question. I told him th4/5 what he said as bullsh4/5. Even some of the people I work with are prejudiced.I work in an inner-city school where the kids aren't ri4/6.Most of the students are black.I've heard some teachers say they are poor because of their ra 4/5. For pete's sa 4/8, how can people still feel this way?Wish I could sh 5/20 some sense into them! Husband wants to ta 4/8 the computer away from me. If I don't give it to him, he will cause major ch 5/14. I am going to get out of th 4/5 se 4/4 & da 4/5 on out of here and watch the TV show Without a Tr5/12. I will return to the ch4/6 log tomorrow afternoon. Goodnight to all babblers!

8:40 pm
