2:09 am

Haz1558

My invisibility shield is defective.

2:10 am

rururocks

lol.. harry potter is using it

2:10 am

Haz1558

Shifty looking character.

2:11 am

rururocks

no kidding.. how are you ?

2:11 am

Haz1558

I'm okay. Yourself?

2:12 am

rururocks

I hope the queen had time to stop by your house for tea on the Jubilee

2:12 am

Haz1558

I wish.

2:12 am

rururocks

well.. my back is hurting.. so I'm grumpy

2:13 am

Haz1558

A sore back is no joke, I sympathise.

2:15 am

rururocks

I can't even think of one back joke

2:16 am

Haz1558

Not even a pun?

2:18 am

rururocks

no.. I'm stumped

2:18 am

Haz1558

Making note that when the puns get too much, introduce the subject of sore backs. For emergency use only.

2:19 am

rururocks

it's like I herniated through winter

2:19 am

rururocks

lol

2:19 am

Haz1558

Are you walking all of a piece?

2:19 am

rururocks

that'll shut me up.

2:20 am

grannyrose

hello in here. oh ruru, poor you. i presume you have iced for 5mins, heat for 5mins, then nothing for 5mins?

2:20 am

grannyrose

breaks up the spasms.

2:20 am

rururocks

I did ice my back.. I've discovered that getting old isn't not for sissies

2:21 am

grannyrose

lol, too true, ruru.

2:21 am

rururocks

that's supposed to be is not

2:22 am

rururocks

*horrified my my english faux pax in front of haz*

2:22 am

grannyrose

ruru, surprised you can type at all, let alone think coherently. back pain has to be the worst.

2:23 am

Haz1558

But your French is great.

2:23 am

grannyrose

now, as i said, ice, heat, nothing. have you done that?

2:23 am

rururocks

C'est Vrai

2:23 am

grannyrose

oooohhhhh, haz, my dear, how are you?

2:23 am

rururocks

I iced.. and then made a cocktail with the leftover ice

2:23 am

Haz1558

No, it's not, just realised you're mixing Latin in as well. Faux pas not pax. I'm as picky as ever.

2:24 am

rururocks

LOL>. I should have known better

2:24 am

Haz1558

Start in with Polish, you'll be safe there.

2:25 am

grannyrose

aaaahhhhh, give me strength. just follow granny's advice. plus ibuprofen if you have them

2:26 am

grannyrose

btw, did you rub the cocktail on your back? if it's made with creme de menthe, might work

2:27 am

rururocks

gin martini.. straight up.. no rubbing.. just glubbing

2:27 am

grannyrose

sounds good to me, plus?????? what analgesia?

2:28 am

rururocks

I've forgotten how I like the taste of gin

2:28 am

rururocks

I took some advil grannie.. thinking about relafen in the morning

2:31 am

grannyrose

advil good......keep it going. relafen? what's in relafen?

2:31 am

rururocks

I think I'll limp off to bed.. and call it a day.. thanks for the advice granny .. and thanks for saying hi haz. We miss you greatly.

2:32 am

grannyrose

night, ruru. heat pack, mate, and pillow under knees

2:32 am

rururocks

Relafen is a strong anti-inflammatory drug that doesn't upset my stomach as much as iboprofen

2:32 am

Haz1558

Thanks ruru. Just feel safer being invisible most of the time. I hope your back heals, I know how painful it can be.

2:33 am

grannyrose

then go for it, ruru.

2:33 am

rururocks

I understand Haz.. very rude the people who attacked you.

2:34 am

Haz1558

It's more than that, ruru, but it'll get better, I hope.

2:35 am

Haz1558

You concentrate on getting better so that normal punning service can be resumed.

2:35 am

Kazzer99

Morning all - how are we all today - ruru - 1 ibuprofen and 1 paracetamol every 3 hours - works a dream on me

2:35 am

rururocks

I hope so too.. it was so much more fun all the bantering and joking in the morning

2:35 am

grannyrose

haz???? email me. what's going on? there have quite a few of us atytacked in chog lately.

2:36 am

grannyrose

morning kaz

2:36 am

Kazzer99

whats this about folks being got at on the chog - this is not very babble like

2:38 am

grannyrose

yeah kaz, i almost at the point of emailing Dr God. it has to stop. peeps are using the chog for personal vendettas.....and it's just not right

2:39 am

Kazzer99

I suppose I miss most of it as I am usually only on for an hour or so in the mornings -depending when I can get up and maybe a couple in the evening. I am only usually on longer at the weekends

2:39 am

Haz1558

It's not why I'm opting out of chat, I've just not dealt well with losing FM and Spangle and my aunt in the space of ten days.

2:40 am

Haz1558

It's easier to be quiet.

2:40 am

grannyrose

this is supposed to be a fun site, and if we need to b***h about what is happening in our lives, then well and good. but to attack fellow babblers is just not right.

2:41 am

rururocks

oh.. Haz.. that helps me understand

2:41 am

Kazzer99

what happened to FM? - that how out of touch I have been

2:41 am

Haz1558

FM died in November past.

2:42 am

grannyrose

awww, haz, my heart goes out to you. may you find peace.

2:43 am

grannyrose

and the offer stands. email me, i will respond.

2:43 am

Kazzer99

Know what you mean Haz - 2011 was a pretty crap year - MY niece died in may and then my dad died in November - even worst on Armistice day so its always going to be really sad

2:44 am

Haz1558

It will get better with time but for now the whole upset on the chog mixed with the bereavements just makes me not inclined to join in.

2:44 am

Kazzer99

57 left off to get some brekkie

2:44 am

rururocks

yes.. That makes sense

2:45 am

grannyrose

understood, haz, take your time, dear.

2:45 am

Haz1558

And I appreciate you saying hello. I checked for hidden cameras.

2:45 am

grannyrose

who me??? never!

2:45 am

rururocks

well .. I really miss you haz.. you take all the time you need.. we'll all be here years from now.. maybe it will be better

2:46 am

rururocks

I can turn off the cameras.. but the Bugging stays

2:46 am

Haz1558

I'll watch what I say!

2:47 am

rururocks

you'd better..lol

2:47 am

Haz1558

Okay, heading to get some breakfast. I hope you sleep well. Bye for now!

2:47 am

rururocks

3:04 am

girlie

It is so beautiful there. I am a refugee from Brisbane myself.

3:05 am

grannyrose

lol, girlie. was that by choice, or did you have to move?

3:05 am

grannyrose

our next home will be in Gippsland

3:06 am

girlie

Sort of by choice, I moved for work. Miss it sometimes, friendly town, beautiful winters. Horrid summers.

3:08 am

grannyrose

yeah, i know. parents took us up to noosa every summer for years. and when the expo was there, so were we. as a family. present hubby does not like the thought of queensland, but am slowly bringing him around. there is so much to see up there

3:09 am

girlie

It is gorgeous grannyrose, sunshine coast is especially lovely. And a lot more affordable than Sydney :/

3:10 am

girlie

Brisbane also has a lot more to offer than it did 20 years ago, but I can understand that giving up proximity to Melbourne would be hard!

3:11 am

grannyrose

in so want to see the daintree forest, charters towers ( for personal reasons)

3:12 am

girlie

oooo, the reef as well?

3:14 am

girlie

ok, I should be paying some attention to dinner, nice chatting granny, hope you have a lovely evening!

3:15 am

grannyrose

rockhampton, cairns.....oh, yes, and the reef. and the islands. i love queensland, but new hubby has some set in concrete ideas. but have had him on the big plane flight, and on a cruise ship ( twice ), next is the long train trip. then i will tackle queensland.

3:15 am

grannyrose

okay, girlie. my dinner is in the slow-cooker. nearly ready

3:18 am

grannyrose

and on that note i bid all lurkers farewell. happy babbling! see you at the flip.

3:48 am

Norma

3:48 am

Kazzer99

thanks for the clues. Oops Chessy never mind. Hi Ruby - i heard that temps in north of england and scotland got down to near freezing overnight - the weather is ridiculous

3:48 am

rubyfoo

we had fires all of April and May -- never before

3:49 am

Kazzer99

It is pouring down here again - we had a lovely day yesterday but still a bit breezy

3:49 am

rubyfoo

no rain or snow in dec and jan, warm in Feb, very cold in Mar and then rain all of Apr and May. It is creepy, how the weather is changing

3:50 am

rubyfoo

<-- doesn't have central heating

3:50 am

Kazzer99

we have had pretty rubbish summers for the last few years

3:50 am

rubyfoo

all the flowers came at once -- iris, roses, peonies, etc

3:51 am

rubyfoo

and then the roses got ruined by all the rain

3:52 am

Kazzer99

thats the other crazy thing - a lot of my summer flowers have died but I still have some daffodils in some tubs that are doing well

3:52 am

rubyfoo

we lost several shrubs due to the cold in Mar and the fruit is very iffy

3:56 am

rubyfoo

still looking for the tree.....

3:56 am

Glantarell

4:00 am

Glantarell

gas fire doesn't work in my new house and I can't afford to have a a gas fitter look at present because if one gas thing doesn;t work they turn all gas off....

5:53 am

Deeha

Its not quite so bad today, we were having 80 mile an hour gusts but the wind seems to have dropped now and I did think I might get out in the garden this afternoon

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I think Europe is colder and US is warmer than usual

5:53 am

rubyfoo

I can see the weeds growing, but it's too cold to do any gardening

5:54 am

Deeha

I certainly toyed with the idea of having a hot water bottle a couple of nights ago!!

5:54 am

rubyfoo

nights are no problem for me, but the days are horrible

5:57 am

Uneaixoise

5:57 am

Deeha

Ive got 38 left so might have a break and get a bit of lunch - salad from the garden which always makes you feel green and righteous!!

5:57 am

rubyfoo

(me, too)

5:58 am

rubyfoo

we have tiny slugs in the streawberries, disgusting

5:58 am

Deeha

About the deniers - it always makes me laugh when they say 'climate change - this is the wettest/hottest/coldest since 1894

5:59 am

Uneaixoise

indeed, deeha

5:59 am

Deeha

I always have slugs but suddenly the cats are bringing in two or three mice a day - lucky I can cope with mice

5:59 am

rubyfoo

and in the conservative states in the US they are still denying evolution!!!!

5:59 am

rubyfoo

do mice eat slugs?

6:00 am

Deeha

If they did I would breed them and sell them!!

6:00 am

Uneaixoise

creationism . . . ugh

6:00 am

rubyfoo

we have cute mice (outside) with long fur. They eat the sunflower seeds that husband puts out for the birds

6:00 am

hi dawg, you working today?

7:46 am

lbdawger

yup, work every weekend.

7:47 am

Anniebrook

I used to work weekends also. I like having days off during the week, less crowded when I shopped

7:47 am

Anniebrook

*liked

7:47 am

Jillyjill

Good morning!

7:47 am

Anniebrook

I should edit myself before I send it

7:47 am

Jillyjill

Hi there dawg and annie

7:48 am

Anniebrook

Hi Jilly :)

7:48 am

lbdawger

hi Jilly, cold and wet in your neighborhood?

7:49 am

Anniebrook

It is a sunny beautiful day here

7:49 am

Jillyjill

cold and cloudy here..not much moisture yet....

7:49 am

lbdawger

days off during the week is nice, having some time with hubz is nice too, but tiring since i have to cram so much into such little time.

7:49 am

Anniebrook

where are you, jilly?

7:49 am

lbdawger

cold and wet here...again...yet...still.

7:50 am

Anniebrook

dawg, when you worked at Borders didnt you work weekends also?

7:50 am

lbdawger

clue for the first fa5?

7:50 am

Jillyjill

southwestern corner of Montana

7:50 am

Anniebrook

dawg, true or fa5

7:51 am

lbdawger

yes, but not every weekend. and the hours i worked were early morning shift so usually off by no later than 2

7:51 am

lbdawger

>*))<<, thank you, annie

7:51 am

Anniebrook

dawg, nice hours

7:52 am

Anniebrook

There was a great Borders in Norwalk near my daughter's house and I was always roaming around in the store when I was there. Sad when it closed.

7:53 am

lbdawger

yeah, i wish i had those hours now. HD spreads the hours around, so you work all shifts.

7:53 am

Anniebrook

anyone want a clue before I start my day?

7:54 am

lbdawger

i wish we had a good bookstore here. closest bookstore is near Jilly...120 miles south of here.

7:54 am

Jillyjill

Too early in grid but thanks annie!

7:54 am

lbdawger

hagd, annie, i'll muddle thru my last four.

7:54 am

Anniebrook

The closest bookstore here is about 10 subway stops away or in Staten Island. Don't people read or has Amazon taken over the market?

7:55 am

Jillyjill

wow dawg!

7:55 am

Anniebrook

that is far, dawg

7:55 am

Anniebrook

well then, enjoy the grid, bye

7:55 am

MollyL

E-books have robbed us of our book stores. Very sad.

7:55 am

lbdawger

e-readers are really convenient as is audio books. sad.

7:56 am

lbdawger

as are...

7:57 am

Jillyjill

Well, married to a bibliophile, e-books saved my house from drowning in books...at the point every shelf filled and there were 10 boxes in storeroom, I got him to buy a Nook.....

7:59 am

MollyL

They serve their purpose Jilli. I just wish they hadn't crushed the "real book" business.

7:59 am

lbdawger

bibiophile here too, times two! had to go back to work to afford my habit, and i'm looking into an e-reader, possibly a kobo, since that's what middle sis has and we read a lot of the same books.

8:00 am

Jillyjill

I guess it's another change, some good, some bad

8:00 am

lbdawger

cost of paper is also what has hurt the "real" book business. resources not being replanted in a timely manner etc.

8:01 am

lbdawger

argh, must get moving. hope to be back later after work. hagd everyone!

8:01 am

lbdawger

oh...tadone! finito! didn't notice my last word! doh

There is something special, and irreplaceable about real books to me. Which is why my money will continue to go in their direction, and not the digital version.

8:24 am

Jillyjill

interesting....

8:25 am

Jillyjill

did you try going into your settings?

8:25 am

uusue2

yes, I mucked about with them quite a bit, no luck. Oh well - not a disaster, my windows just aren't as pretty as they used to be

8:26 am

uusue2

9:10 am

HarryHood

beach is such a hassle

9:11 am

periwinkle

I do not have an sc6

9:11 am

I feel the same way about pools and lakes; somehow the ocean feels clean

9:16 am

periwinkle

9:16 am

periwinkle

hopefully I will get someone to drive with me to the beach. it is much more fun with someone else

9:17 am

doseffing

... but you've got all those mountains to walk in ... what do you need a ocean for? ...

9:17 am

rubyfoo

the lake here stays under 60F all year

9:17 am

periwinkle

mountains is not the same at the beach

9:17 am

rubyfoo

I know people (Swedish, of course) who come here a few times a year and swim across, about a mile

9:18 am

uusue2

hi all, I am back, and my Windows has rejoined the 21st century! Yay!

9:18 am

that's what I miss about Miami (and the food)

9:18 am

9:18 am

rubyfoo

how was the Japan festival, sue?

9:18 am

HarryHood

60 to go! bbl hopefully

9:19 am

uusue2

it was great, ruby! I've put a few pictures up on Facebook, and will post a bunch more later.

9:19 am

rubyfoo

are you rolling your own sushi now?

9:20 am

uusue2

lol - not yet, ruby, but we did buy a lot of sake :-)

9:20 am

rubyfoo

can't fiond sake here

9:21 am

rubyfoo

only one Japanese resto and it's awful

9:21 am

uusue2

(not at the festival but at the Japanese shopping mall nearby)

9:21 am

uusue2

Frank can't drink wine but sake is ok for him

9:21 am

rubyfoo

that's lucky

9:23 am

uusue2

there's a good sushi place here in town, too, which is nice (sushi being one of the things Frank can eat, as long as he skips the soy sauce)

9:24 am

uusue2

anyway I got some photos of my colleague during the opening ceremony, as well as photos and video of the kendo demonstration and the taiko drummers

9:24 am

rubyfoo

what is in the soy sauce that he can't tolerate?

9:25 am

uusue2

wheat. Normal soy sauce has wheat in it. There is a wheat-free variety but it is more expensive and restaurants never have it.

9:26 am

rubyfoo

that's interesting, out of curiosity, I'll read the labels on my soy sauce

9:27 am

uusue2

I'll be amazed if it doesn't have wheat in it

10:04 am

welki

thanks for the sun dance, but i'm thinking it'll be like this for most of the day - it's been like this for most of the weekend, including tornado watches yesterday. did manage to fish for a couple of hours before the winds started, though :)

10:04 am

uusue2

"marching" is probably too formal for what we will actually be doing :-)

10:05 am

welki

i can see sue with a big bonnet, with all the flowers on it *singing* - the board parade!

10:05 am

welki

waling, moseying, slouching (not towards bethlehem)

Crossy...yer mad ;)

11:16 am

crosshair

11:16 am

crosshair

done the helicopter ride too...

11:17 am

andrew in drag

haha, when I moved to England, I thought I was the bravest shman there ever was. Now I see I should enter the big leagues...

11:18 am

Judi

Watching roller coasters makes me puke. Does that count?

11:19 am

11:20 am

andrew in drag

sounds like me and Judi might be holding the bags while you're on that one...

11:21 am

Judi

Amen, Andrew. The most daring thing on my bucket list (so far) is to see a Jimmy Buffet concert.

11:22 am

Judi

Color me whimpy.

11:22 am

crosshair

lol crossy loves parrotheads

11:23 am

Judi

:-). Well, I'm not really a parrothead, but I want to go to the concert to see the other parrotheads. And drink the margaritas of course.

11:23 am

crosshair

and no andrew,the big leagues are the guys who tag the sharks,cliff dive and that fella who is going to take a single man sub down to the deepest point in the ocean

11:24 am

crosshair

of course...got my salt and lime...

11:25 am

andrew in drag

I always thought going into space must be absolutely terrifying. I saw the movie Apollo 18, and it was ~rubbish~, but I got jittery because they were on the moon. Would you do that?

11:25 am

crosshair

i still want to go down in a submarine,but that may be a tough one to arrange

11:25 am

crosshair

if they offered me a seat,i would be on it in a heart beat

11:26 am

crosshair

you can get a seat on the russian stuff but it costs big money

11:27 am

andrew in drag

wahhh! well you be sure to send me a postcard.

11:27 am

Judi

Andrew, there is a "ride" at Epcot in Disney World (Florida) called "Mission to Mars". It simulates a rocket takeoff and landing to/from Mars. Apparently it is a giant centrifuge. Hubby refused to go on the ride, so I went alone. I came out a teary, quivering, blubbering mess. It was far too intense for me.

11:27 am

crosshair

and you can get a ride on an air force jet but the cost is ten grand

11:28 am

crosshair

lol judi

11:28 am

crosshair

but to say you were on a jet and broke mach one..priceless now that the concordes are gone

11:29 am

MollyL

James Cameron? He already completed the sub dive.

11:29 am

crosshair

did he??

11:29 am

crosshair

dammit,i wanted to catch that

11:29 am

crosshair

in that vertical sub of his?

11:30 am

andrew in drag

lol Judi! if I want a thrill, I just stand up too quickly...

11:30 am

MollyL

Check out the National Geographic web site. They sponsored it.

11:30 am

crosshair

will do molly

11:30 am

Judi

I think I would really dig a military jet ride. As long as they stay in a straight line and I have the horizon and ground to see I think I would be fine. Speed is a rush. Speed and crazy motion just makes for suffering. No barrel rolls, no loop-de-loops, thank you.

11:31 am

Judi

I thought they just did an unmanned test dive of the sub so far.

11:31 am

MollyL

Oh Judi, they would "tell you" they wouldn't do those things...but once you're up there...I know Navy jet pilots. : D

11:32 am

Judi

Probably true, Molly. Then I'd feel sorry for the poor ground mechanic who would have to clean up my bodily fluids once we landed.

11:32 am

periwinkle

hi all

11:32 am

crosshair

they will make you puke

11:32 am

periwinkle

I am drinking root beer vodka with my sandwich. don't like it (the vodka) but it is all I have

11:33 am

Judi

Puke wouldn't be all they'd get.

11:33 am

crosshair

those jet jockeys,with a newbies in the back seat? lol.they will shake and bake you

11:33 am

andrew in drag

haha!

11:33 am

MollyL

*Makes the sign of the cross* Root beer and vodka were never meant to be mixed.

11:34 am

crosshair

root beer and vodka?? omg!

11:34 am

periwinkle

the sandwich is very good, untuna witharugula on a whole wheat bagel. one of these days I will buy grey goose or ketels one plain vodka

11:34 am

periwinkle

it is pretty awful

11:34 am

crosshair

i will jump out of a perfectly good plane with a bag of silk on my back but i will NEVER mix root beer and vodka

11:35 am

Judi

Yuck, Peri. I'd opt for water over root beer vodka.

11:35 am

periwinkle

it tasted good at my friends house, that is why I bought it, not a good idea :(

11:35 am

periwinkle

very hot here, at least 90

11:35 am

crosshair

and peri wins the crazy bucket list insane deed of the day!!!

11:35 am

periwinkle

:-)

11:36 am

crosshair

that stopped my tales cold..ewwww

11:36 am

Judi

I just got back from the farmers market. Bought orange and purple carrots, blueberries, raspberries, sour cherries and little red taters. YUMMMM!

11:36 am

andrew in drag

it's pretty good with ginger beer and lime though.

11:36 am

crosshair

which sows you andrew,there is always someone out there more daring than you or i;)))

11:36 am

periwinkle

purple carrots? wow

11:36 am

crosshair

shows

11:37 am

periwinkle

it is? no ginger beer here tho

11:37 am

crosshair

love those little red taters,so good for fry ups

11:39 am

Judi

I wanted asparagus, but they were asking $4.50 a bunch for it. Crazy. Walked away from that stuff.

11:39 am

Judi

Peri - the purple carrots turn back to orange when you boil them. However, if you roast them, they stay purple. It's a scientific mystery.

11:40 am

periwinkle

that is neat, Judi

11:40 am

andrew in drag

haha, I'll drink to that, Crossy!

11:40 am

Judi

Carrots came with the geens on them. So, for easier storage, I chopped off the greens and tossed them out in the yard for the bunnies.

11:42 am

Judi

Off to do my chores. See you kids later. *ZOOP*

11:42 am

MollyL

Yeah, we have ginger beer. Look in the international section of the grocery store.

11:43 am

periwinkle

just got back from Wegmans

11:43 am

periwinkle

did not know I would need any ginger beer

11:44 am

MollyL

I keep some around in case someone gets an upset stomach. It's very good for that. That or ginger tea.

11:44 am

periwinkle

I have ginger tea and ginger ale. wonder if ginger ale would work

11:44 am

periwinkle

oh wait, no more ginger ale

11:45 am

crosshair

a good ginger beer is hard to find

11:45 am

MollyL

Ginger ale is good. Better if you shave a little fresh ginger in it.

11:45 am

periwinkle

would that work as well as the ginger beer then?

11:45 am

crosshair

you had ginger ale and you mixed your vodka with root beer??????

11:45 am

periwinkle

no more ginger ale

11:45 am

crosshair

ah

11:46 am

MollyL

No Cross, it's worse than that. It was root beer flavored Vodka. YAK.

11:46 am

periwinkle

the root beer is already in the vodka, I did not put it there!!

11:46 am

periwinkle

worse indeed

11:46 am

crosshair

shiudder...

11:46 am

crosshair

oh,you talking about those new pre-mix vodkas?

periwinkle

11:48 am

periwinkle

I have not tried any other flavored vodka. and will not

11:48 am

andrew in drag

11:54 am

11:54 am

crosshair

no,it eats the spoon

11:55 am

andrew in drag

lol! ah, you're killing me. just like your drinks would.

11:56 am

MollyL

Gin is fine, Peri. Nothing like a frosty cold gin and tonic with a big wedge of lime on a hot summer day.

11:56 am

andrew in drag

mind you...in communist berlin my family learned to make pretty decent moonshine...that'd make your hair curl

11:56 am

4:35 pm

Dorens

went to my 45th HS reunion last nite/this morning. Really a trip. For once, we are all so mellow and secure in who we are that we could really talk. even to folks we didn't know back then (class was over 850) and it was truly an amazing experience

4:36 pm

Uneaixoise

what fun, dorens! :-)

4:36 pm

jmcnrick

nice dorens

4:36 pm

4:45 pm

Jillyjill

4:49 pm

rururocks

I was hoping to graduate early.. joke was on me

4:49 pm

Jillyjill

4:49 pm

rururocks

Bozeman?

4:50 pm

Jillyjill

I had 525+ in my class...I do still miss the beach though....

4:50 pm

Jillyjill

Yes, Bozeman in 77, Butte in 78, Missoula in 79...ah, a rolling stone...

4:50 pm

rururocks

I think my class was 700-800

4:50 pm

Jillyjill

Jillyjill

Hi Trif

Trifioso

4:53 pm

rururocks

4:53 pm

Jillyjill

oohhh, nice! We should do a babble gathering!

4:53 pm

Jillyjill

Snowshoeing is pretty easy...LOL, now cross-country skiing....

4:53 pm

rururocks

let's see.. Harpjane, Nef, you, and who else lives there?

4:54 pm

rururocks

I don't do cross country skiing .. I'm just not coordinated for skiing

4:55 pm

rururocks

I keep crossing the skis and then fall over

4:55 pm

Jillyjill

lbd too, and there's a newbie (can't recall name-damn age thing) living east of Bozeman

4:56 pm

rururocks

my last cross country excursion was a disaster in Manitoba

4:56 pm

rururocks

oh.. wow.. it'd be great to meet LBD

4:56 pm

Jillyjill

All you have to do with snow shoes is keep your feet apart (judiciousy avoided 'legs spread') to snow shoe

4:57 pm

Jillyjill

actually, nef is in Minnesota, just has tons of relatives here...

4:59 pm

Trifioso

ugh, my dogs are driving me CRAZY.....rough housing all over the place, fur FLYING. How many times a day does a woman to vacuum already?

5:00 pm

Jillyjill

My cats are wild today too....what's up with that?

5:00 pm

MollyL

Hey, at least you vacuum. I know people with animals who don't bother.

5:00 pm

Trifioso

No idea....planetary shift?

5:01 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...or what sign is rising?!!

5:04 pm

Trifioso

I have no idea, but I hope it fades and quickly. the one night I have here alone, no kids fighting, and the DOGS are fighting. God help us all

5:05 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...no rest for the weary...

5:07 pm

Trifioso

oh I am weary....

5:08 pm

MollyL

Hmm, doggies need to be put in a room with a closed door so Miss Trif can have a drink and relax.

5:08 pm

Jillyjill

That sounds like a very good idea...maybe separate bedrooms?

5:10 pm

torgone

Maybe outside?

5:11 pm

Trifioso

hey there torgone! I put one outside, and took molly up on the drink thing - great idea!

5:12 pm

torgone

Perfect ..

5:12 pm

Jillyjill

Hmmm...drink sounds good! Almost 5 PM here...lol

5:12 pm

5:45 pm

lilliann

5:47 pm

lilliann

it was nice to see him as we haven't seen him for 5 weeks and he was going to take me out for lunch before he went back to scotland but he had to go earlier to help out the man sub contracts to, but he'll take me out next time he's home.

5:58 pm

Jillyjill

Glad you had a nice unbirthday!

5:59 pm

MollyL

Waiting...waiting...waiting...

6:00 pm

Jillyjill

for....for...for....

6:02 pm

lilliann

sorry...sorry..sorry....but you didn't answer so i thought you'd gone off! an iron ing board and a microwave!!

6:04 pm

Jillyjill

bbl....time to cook dinner...

6:04 pm

lilliann

so i've been spoilt! :)

6:04 pm

lilliann

bye jill, enjoy your dinner

6:07 pm

MollyL

Man, you weren't kidding when you said he buys practical gifts. : )

6:10 pm

lilliann

told you!! lol actually they weren't gifts....as you know i needed a new keyboard and then the microwave blew up last week and the ironing board was ols and wonky, so seeing as he came home this weekend for my birthday he bought the things i needed. i need a george foreman too as mine died but i can't get one the same at the moment...will look on amazon!

6:10 pm

stidmama

hey all!

6:10 pm

stidmama

down to 30...

6:10 pm

lilliann

hi stid :)

6:11 pm

MollyL

Well Lilliann, I'm glad you are almost all stocked up on "needed things". And I hope you had fun celebrating with your man.

6:12 pm

stidmama

I did something "right" today in the kitchen -- bought a ham hock to put in with "Coba" beans (they are a yellow dried bean from Mexico I think), and it smells SO good and the beans are softening up nicely so we will be able to have lovely bean soup for supper! *proud mama look*

6:13 pm

lilliann

we don't normally buy gifts, but i must admit, the bairn and i bought some plastic boxes and cleaningstuff for his coach...and he was really happy!! practical!!

6:14 pm

stidmama

sounds like a lovely way to spend the time together -- sometimes the practical gifts are the ones that demonstrate how well you know each other. *wishing my tom would get me some new art supplies*

6:14 pm

lilliann

i't sounds lovely stid, i must admit, i've never heard of coba beans

6:15 pm

stidmama

I never had either, and then I was in one of the local tortillerias a few months back. They are meaty, but not "beany" the way pintos can be. I really like them.

6:16 pm

lilliann

well, i would prefer nicer gifts or things that i can use hobby wise but my hubby is a very practical person and hates lovey dovey gifts, even from his children!

6:17 pm

lilliann

where did you get them from stid?health food shop or normal and are they dried in a packet or can you get them in a tin?

6:18 pm

lilliann

tortillerias? we don't have them here

6:19 pm

lilliann

i've never had a pinto either

6:19 pm

stidmama

it's spanish -- means a place that makes tortillas -- which in the Americas are thin flatbreads.

6:20 pm

stidmama

pinto "painted" beans are speckled, brownish beans, used frequently in American cooking for refried beans.

6:20 pm

stidmama

I think one can order canned (tinned?) mayocoba beans in the U.S., but not sure if they are shipped to Europe.

6:21 pm

lilliann

i know what a tortilla is but we don't have shops like that here

6:21 pm

stidmama

I think I remember someone telling me that in Spain a "tortilla" is more like what we think of as an omelet?

6:22 pm

stidmama

we have a large and growing population of people from the central american countries, each place seems to have its own variations, but there are a lot of commonalities, too.

6:22 pm

lilliann

well, to me, a tortilla is a flat bread...it reminds me of an indian chapate, but they are made differently....

6:23 pm

lilliann

and obviously taste differently

6:23 pm

stidmama

there are "flour" tortillas made of wheat (which had to have come over with the Europeans), and the traditional corn tortillas, which we eat most often and I make on occasion.

6:24 pm

lilliann

i'll have to look for those beans stid. i have a 3 bean salad in a tin which is cannellini, flageolet and adzuki beans, which i've never heard of before

6:25 pm

stidmama

adzuki beans are nice, you'll like them I think. A little sweeter than other beans.

6:25 pm

lilliann

we3 have the flour ones here...sold in all the big supermarkets

6:25 pm

stidmama

you eat a lot of tinned food in the UK, don't you? Most americans buy frozen it seems.

6:26 pm

stidmama

rofl I just realized why it is so quiet in here right now, the kids (Grant and his gf) took the budgies/parakeets outside.

6:27 pm

lilliann

well, i normally buy everythig fresh, but there are certain things i can't get fresh so i will buy frozen as that is the next best thing and then tinned

6:27 pm

stidmama

we buy canned beans at times, but it is so much more expensive than buying dried beans -- and I don't like the mettalic flavor of the canned ones.

6:28 pm

stidmama

or the metallic flavor *sigh* feeling tired all of a sudden

6:29 pm

lilliann

obviously the different types of beans i buy in a can and i bought tinned pilchards the other day for my old male cat as he's not been eating alot lately but now my kitchen stin ks of fish!!!

6:30 pm

stidmama

ah, pilchard is a fish -- like a sardine maybe? *runs off to look it up*

6:30 pm

stidmama

LOL yep! exactly like a sardine!

6:30 pm

lilliann

lol stid, i thought you meant quiet in the chat!! so you have parakeets and budgies?

6:32 pm

lilliann

i fin ished eatrlier stid, are there any clues you need?

parakeets or budgies?

6:34 pm

6:36 pm

lilliann

well here, budgies are alot smaller and have different sized beaks...i only know as i've had to go to alot of wild fowl parks as my father in law likes them.

6:36 pm

lilliann

just looking for your c

6:37 pm

stidmama

budgies aren't wild in the states, except in a few places where enough have escaped to form breeding populations. Around here, they would stick out like a sore thumb and be very nice eagle treats.

6:37 pm

lynxxx

and I have to add budgies originated in Australia . Morning all

6:38 pm

stidmama

hey lynxxx! yes, they did originate in Australia -- I remember feeling some amazement once when mrp talked about the commotion they were making outside her window!

I finished the grid la 4/4 this evening. Here is a story.La 4/4 year my friend Be 4/7 and I were in a minor fender bender. Fortunately, nobody di 4/6. My friend & I were on our way to me 4/5 another friend to go ca4/5r a big graduation party when somebody backed up too fa 4/7 and slammed into the car I was driving.I tried my be4/7 to avoid collision by be4/7ing horn at other person who was about to back up into me, but he did not he4/6 my warning. His rear bumper became em 5/18ded into my headlight and took a huge bi 4/6 out of my light. Glass shattered all over into bi 4/6 and pieces on the ground. I cl7/40 w/other driver and his friend as soon as we got out of our cars. Th4/7 se4/5ed like big jerks. His ey4/6 glared at me and he la 6/24 out at me saying it was my fault. He told me he had other huge de 5/16 that were so de4/6, he could not pay for my light. I told the other driver that I de4/6ed it necessary that he pay for a new light or give me the money that he ow4/9 me for a new light.Needless to say, other driver had to pay a lot of ca 4/6 to fix my light. I am going to sign off now in ca 4/5 hubby needs laptop. By the way, everything in this story is fa5/16,not true.I'll see you all you babblers tomorrow
