flosey

hi rose, how are you doing?

1:40 am

ursh

i keep trying gremlin

1:41 am

scouser

hi grannyrose and mcurlschool - we hardly ever have thunderstorms now compared to twenty years ago - that's climate change for you

1:41 am

flosey

oh, and WTG rose

1:41 am

mcurlschool

I'm pretty sure one lightning strike hit a tree not far away as all the sudden we could smell fresh fir smoke! Scouser--it is almost like being in So. Carolina or Florida except it's not warm enough!

1:41 am

grannyrose

hi flosey, still weepy at times, i know it's the meds. but have also begun a new exercise which really hurts

1:42 am

mcurlschool

I'ts been nearly 2 hours and the weather report is for several hours more.

1:42 am

scouser

jenny in6 part of shoe in7 on coast

1:42 am

flosey

ah, very understandable though rose, good luck with the exercises - don't push it too hard

1:43 am

Jivingjenny0

thanks very much

1:44 am

scouser

mccurl - there are some awesome videos on YouTube of storms.

1:44 am

grannyrose

and you, flosey, how are you?

1:44 am

mcurlschool

They are nice to watch but it's just not the same as being "in" one!

1:45 am

flosey

pretty good thanks rose, had back molar pulled this morning - was quite nervous about it but it was a breeze

1:46 am

grannyrose

btw, the 'new' exercise is on the stationary bike. can't do the full rotation(cycle), so just go forward as far as i can, then backward as far as i can.

1:46 am

flosey

good start rose,

1:46 am

grannyrose

ooowwww!!!!! you must have a good dentist for you to say it was abreeze

1:46 am

scouser

indeed not! 1981 was last really big one with g4/9 hail and pitch dark at 6pm in June!

1:47 am

flosey

he is great rose, thankfully

1:47 am

scouser

that was for mccurl - not for the teeth. There is a bit of a delay in the chog I think

1:47 am

flosey

speaks with a south african accent which I find interesting

1:48 am

flosey

he talks and jokes as he works

1:48 am

grannyrose

i recently changed my dentist and now have the loveliest lady dentist. she is so gentle

1:49 am

mcurlschool

we'll get a little lightning now and again during the winter but nothing like this during the summer! I hate to go to bed and miss the light show!

1:49 am

flosey

mine started with a woman and guess she found she had too much for one, there are now the 2

1:52 am

grannyrose

lol, scouser, could be quite amusing

1:55 am

grannyrose

mcurls, i remember a summer storm we had a few years back, lightning flash, followed immediately by thunder clap, right over our roof....it shook the windows and all

1:56 am

mcurlschool

tonight the thunder clap and lightning have been at the same time more than separate---really different but still great to watch

1:59 am

grannyrose

my dad taught us to count, one one thousand, two one thousand etc between lightning flash and thunder clap. he said it indicated how far away the storm actually was.

1:59 am

grannyrose

each one thousand being equal to 1 mile

2:00 am

ursh

same here rose - still do it today !!

2:01 am

mcurlschool

same here but to close for that. I think it's finally gone through another pass over so I think I'll head to bed before the next round starts in. Good night friends!

Glantarell

i am fine, just flat broke for the next 5 months as i am having to replace all my windows and external dors

2:31 am

cosdem

ahh we're broke too but thats because we're poor lol

2:31 am

Glantarell

nice people who sold the house to me had drilled tiny holes in the corners of each window so that it didn;t show that all the seals had gone by havuing condensation in the double glazed panels and the windows are too old to just replace the glass

2:31 am

Glantarell

well I'm not exactly rich LOL

2:32 am

Glantarell

and anyways, you are too young to have bult up your fortune yet :-)

2:32 am

cosdem

true true... hoepfully within 10 years ill have a house and be in debt

2:33 am

Glantarell

that's my problem, but at least i no longer have a mortgage to worry about as well!

2:35 am

cosdem

nice job. my MIL will always be in mortage. she keeps buying a house then selling it after a year.

2:35 am

cosdem

ive known her for 8 years and shes lived in 8 houses

2:36 am

grannyrose

but does she make a profir each time, cos?

2:36 am

Glantarell

i am fixing american english in my brain more and more each day as i babble - there are words you commonly use which are not used here and so aren;t really in my consciousness - like tu4/6 which has taken me 5 minutes of monkeying to find LOL

2:36 am

grannyrose

* profit*

2:36 am

cosdem

lol... i never thought of that

2:36 am

Glantarell

the legal fees must be horrendous for her - is she really unhalppy

2:37 am

Glantarell

2:37 am

cosdem

she gets bored i guess

2:37 am

Glantarell

expensive form of beredom LOL

2:37 am

cosdem

if she finds one flaw.. its time to mvoe

2:38 am

cosdem

money is not an object to her.

2:38 am

cosdem

and she rubs it in our faces constantly :(

2:38 am

grannyrose

over here, you can buy a house, mortgage and all, then after 12 months sell it, at a profit, and pay no capital gains tax, because it is over 12 months since you bought

2:38 am

Glantarell

I'm not entirely sure i hvae bought the right house but the thought of the $4500 legal fees cost to move would put me off looking for soemthing else for quite some time LOL

2:39 am

grannyrose

oh, lovely, cos. could spit in her eye, i bet.

2:39 am

cosdem

woo hoo found in7 on my own

2:39 am

3:04 am

grannyrose

please clear this up for me...jelly, jam....same as conserves?

3:05 am

Glantarell

3:05 am

cosdem

3:05 am

grannyrose

and have you ever tried peanut butter and honey sandwiches?

3:05 am

cosdem

no. i prefer peanutbutter and banana sandwiches

3:05 am

Glantarell

and jelly is either a cpmpletely clear and lump free conserve or it is a pudding hich the US folks call jello

3:06 am

Glantarell

never tried pb and honey - only banana and honey

3:06 am

grannyrose

tastes like peanut brittle

3:06 am

Glantarell

never tried pb and banana either - i obviously haven't lived LOL

3:06 am

cosdem

we call gelatin jello

3:07 am

cosdem

u know whats delicious? a grilled PB and banana sandwich. same concept as grileld cheese but use PB and bananas

3:07 am

Glantarell

haven't had breakfast but you're both giving me ideas LOL - shame i have no bananas

3:07 am

lynxxx

so what do you call the setting agent in jello Cos?

3:07 am

lynxxx

Afternoon all

3:07 am

cosdem

not sure

3:07 am

Glantarell

we have flavoured commericla jelly which you just add boiling water to - either powder or block

3:08 am

Glantarell

gelatine is the setting agent in US jello

3:08 am

cosdem

jelly is fruit perserves, jam is similar

3:08 am

cosdem

ah we call that jelly "jello"

3:08 am

grannyrose

well seeing as both bread and peanut butter, jam/jelly, and honey are not on my diet plan, guess i'll have to wait a whiles before i try it

3:08 am

Glantarell

old fahioned folk like me also use gelatin to add to things to mkae home made jellies 0 which are much nicer

3:08 am

grannyrose

hey lyn

3:08 am

cosdem

F's finished!

3:08 am

Glantarell

hi lyn

3:09 am

cosdem

i love jello mixed with cool whip

3:09 am

grannyrose

yay cos

3:09 am

lynxxx

Hi Rose - weather lousy but I guess that makes you happy to be inside. How is it all going?

3:09 am

grannyrose

now i've gotta ask....cool whip?

3:10 am

Glantarell

OK cos - i'll bite - what is cool whip? sounds like some kind of sex game LOL

3:10 am

cosdem

the stuff u put a dallop on pumpkin pie

3:10 am

lynxxx

whipped cream in an aerosol can isn't it?

3:10 am

Glantarell

we would use whipped cream for that if we ate pumpkin pie

3:10 am

cosdem

cool whip is a brand name. whipped cream is the right term

3:10 am

grannyrose

not so bad, lyn, have added stationary bike into exercise list....not liking it at all

3:10 am

cosdem

cool whip comes in a tub and aresol can

3:11 am

Glantarell

we hve the aerosol variety but not tub kind

3:11 am

Glantarell

i prefer to whip my own because i'm a sadist LOL

3:11 am

grannyrose

thanx cos. saves my scalp from a lot of scratching

3:11 am

cosdem

ugh is it thanksgiving yet

3:12 am

cosdem

oh wait only Americans have that

3:12 am

Glantarell

tue!

3:12 am

Glantarell

and i don;t think anybody else on the planet would consider deep frying a whole turkey

3:12 am

cosdem

oh i dont want to try that. i prefer my turkey baked

3:12 am

lynxxx

we all have big deal Xmas instead

3:13 am

Glantarell

so do we

3:13 am

cosdem

xmas is bigger here. thanksgiving is the first official day of the xmas season

3:13 am

Glantarell

apparently ti's the best way to have turkey - well, that's what my friend in florida says

3:13 am

tijani

*********fireworks*********

3:13 am

grannyrose

deep fried turkey???what a waste!

3:13 am

cosdem

thats why the macy parade always ends with santa in his sleigh

3:13 am

lynxxx

that was a royal we - generally what the UK does we do too

3:13 am

cosdem

wtf tiJ!

3:13 am

Glantarell

actually we have deep fried chicken portions here in fish and chip shops and they are lovely so i guess it would be goo

3:13 am

grannyrose

WTG TIJANI!!!!

3:14 am

lynxxx

Congrats Tijani!

3:14 am

Glantarell

woo hoo tijan

3:14 am

grannyrose

we have kentucky fried shops here. too greasy for me nowadays

3:14 am

Glantarell

I think the trick is to get the oil hot enough so it cooks and crisps without the meat absorbning the oil

3:15 am

NonoNanette

sh

3:15 am

Glantarell

our fried chicke doesn';t have any coating

3:15 am

lynxxx

there has been too many bad stories about kentucky here for me to even contemplate going to them

3:16 am

cosdem

i feel dumb for askingbut the first gr4 please

3:16 am

grannyrose

used to love ot!!!! and so did my waist-line....which i am now just re-discovering

3:18 am

cosdem

3:18 am

Glantarell

3:19 am

cosdem

probably what the kiddos called the great wizard as a kid

3:19 am

Glantarell

another uS english thing

3:19 am

lynxxx

I thought it was the coloring on some dogs - a variant of the spelling

3:20 am

lynxxx

actually its Scot

3:20 am

Glantarell

it may be scot but it's not in common usage

3:23 am

Glantarell

3:39 am

rubyfoo

3:39 am

rubyfoo

stealing a couple of minutes

3:39 am

rubyfoo

how are you feeling?

3:39 am

rubyfoo

how are you feeling?

3:39 am

lynxxx

hi Ruby

3:39 am

rubyfoo

sunshine is belying the weather forecast and there is a fleamarket in the village

3:39 am

rubyfoo

3:39 am

rubyfoo

3:40 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves fleamarkets as I have a collection of blue and white tableware, many of the odds and ends purchased that way

3:40 am

lynxxx

sounds like a perfect day coming up for you Ruby

3:41 am

grannyrose

ruby, still a bit weepy. have added the bike to exercise regimen. hurts like hell. will persist. it is on advice from physio

3:41 am

rubyfoo

and the Tour this afternoon "Come on Cadel!!!"

3:41 am

rubyfoo

should it hurt that much Rose? Maybe you are rushing things a little?

3:41 am

grannyrose

hey ruby, sounds like your perfect day

3:42 am

rubyfoo

snap for lynxx and rose!!!

3:43 am

grannyrose

ruby, just taking it slowly. can't do a full rotation, so going forwards and backwards as far as i can bear

3:44 am

rubyfoo

you will sur**ly gain mobility, but the thought of you crying while exercising is heartbreaking!

3:44 am

lynxxx

poor Rose

3:46 am

grannyrose

gotta do it...and before either of you even think it....PLEASE DO NOT SAY no pain, no gain. i will probably scream if i hear it once more

3:47 am

lynxxx

lol

3:47 am

rubyfoo

haha, ruefully!

3:47 am

lynxxx

Are you walking very far Rose?

3:48 am

rubyfoo

I don't agree with that theory. I was a runner for a long time, eased into it very gradually (at 42!) and never had pain or residual effects.

3:48 am

rubyfoo

telos

3:48 am

rubyfoo

loos

3:48 am

rubyfoo

sorry

3:49 am

spanner

rubyfoo

hi, spanner, when I get worked up (lol), I forget where to write

3:49 am

grannyrose

hey spanner

3:52 am

spanner

Bye

3:52 am

rubyfoo

the horrible sicks they use to poke the bulls....

3:52 am

grannyrose

lol, ruby, do you really think i would trust Don out on his own? with my credit card? he can't help himself. if he sees something he wants, even if it's not on the list, he buys it....and i pay for it!!!!!

3:53 am

rubyfoo

oh no! Burt doesn't deviate from the list; he knows he's get stuck with aforementioned mu7

3:53 am

grannyrose

6:01 am

kje

6:10 am

rubyfoo

hello

6:10 am

rubyfoo

anybody still here?

6:11 am

rubyfoo

just struggled up the hill from the village, after lunch, because there was a little fleamarket in the "mairie". No customers!

6:11 am

sprite

hey ruby :)

6:11 am

rubyfoo

6:11 am

sprite

oh my... none at all? How sad. Did you get something good from the market?

6:11 am

rubyfoo

it was a long way up! many stops, leaning on fences and walls

6:12 am

lynxxx

Back. Hi Sprite! and so did you get any blue and white crockery Ruby?

6:12 am

rubyfoo

found two little boxes, for my collection -- both round, one carved wood and the other Chinese porcelain

6:12 am

sprite

aw ruby :( Yes I know how that feels.

6:12 am

sprite

hi lyn :) xxx

6:12 am

rubyfoo

yes I did, lynxx, one tiny round covered porcelain box!

6:12 am

sprite

oh nice, ruby!

6:13 am

lynxxx

lovely!

6:13 am

rubyfoo

and I bargained blushing), got the prices down from 12 euros to 10! Disgusting, but necessary

6:13 am

rubyfoo

this market was half the size of previous years

6:15 am

sprite

oh WOW! Wtg ruby! I just cannot bargain, I totally s*ck at that. You rock.

6:15 am

sprite

question: why isn't 'florish' a word? As in proper?

6:15 am

rubyfoo

it is awful that I do that; it's one of the reasons that husband wont go shopping with me. But, if you pay the "list" price, they think you're a fool!

6:16 am

lynxxx

a flourish - as in a bow or sweep of a hat perhaps?

6:16 am

rubyfoo

With our new car (not to be delivered until Aug or Sept, I couldn't bargain that!), I reduced the price by 3,000 euros

6:17 am

sprite

ahhhh of course, that is it. Thanks lyn. One of my brain's weird hiccups.

6:17 am

rubyfoo

I think that the "bargaining" is buiilt into the price

6:18 am

lynxxx

I think so too Ruby...but don't try it in Australia

6:18 am

sprite

yes that is the word, it can also mean to thrive.

6:18 am

lynxxx

of course unless that is all you have in your purse at the time

6:18 am

rubyfoo

or, probably, in the UK (or, for that matter, in the US)

6:19 am

sprite

nor in the Netherlands, though you may try it on fleamarkets. But I once was in Tunesia an there you have to, or you will pay 3 times the real worth at least.

6:20 am

sprite

so I didn't buy a single thing there, lol. I just cannot bargain. Makes me feel so... I don't know...

6:20 am

lynxxx

I have surprised myself recently by returning faulty goods (I never would have bothered when I was working and had lots of $s to spare) It is just not an issue to get satisfaction

6:20 am

rubyfoo

in Arab countries, it's "de rigeur", but many people have a lot of trouble doing it. After we re-did our house, I discovered, once we were here, that you could get any price reduced aT least 10%.

6:23 am

rubyfoo

funny word in here, go5 and pl, for a scary clay monster

6:24 am

lynxxx

TY

6:24 am

rubyfoo

hebrew, I think

6:24 am

sprite

I like that word :)

6:24 am

rubyfoo

I'd like to put one in my garden!

6:26 am

lynxxx

How is your Ruby - is she responding well to medication?

6:26 am

o-o

A blockhead is one definition .... good term for my congressional delegation

6:26 am

rubyfoo

yes, she seems much better. Still doesn't want to walk in the street, but is eating well and breathing easier. I was so worried and will be grateful if we have a bit more time with her

6:27 am

rubyfoo

hi BR

6:27 am

rubyfoo

blockhead is a def on go5? Very funny. There must have been some Jewish legislators

6:27 am

o-o

Hello

6:27 am

lynxxx

Hello BR - a very popular insult here in the 50 & 60s

6:28 am

sprite

hey BabbleRabble, glad to see you

6:28 am

rubyfoo

go, lynxx?

6:28 am

o-o

Hello, sprite

6:28 am

periwinkle

hello all

6:28 am

sprite

looks like you will, ruby. Am so glad she responds well.

6:28 am

periwinkle

help with the 8 pls

6:28 am

lynxxx

That is good Ruby, she needs to be around a bit longer to teach Rufie some manners

6:28 am

o-o

Hi, Lyn

6:28 am

o-o

Hi, peri

6:28 am

lynxxx

no, a blockhead Ruby

6:29 am

lynxxx

hi Peri

6:29 am

rubyfoo

he is learning fast. Now he's training me to do tricks!

6:29 am

rubyfoo

6:29 am

lynxxx

has he stopped nipping you yet?

6:29 am

sprite

those are beautiful old faces you are putting up as icons the last 2 days, BabbleRabble.

6:29 am

sprite

hi peri :) It is what a butterflies does in your stomach when you are in love.

6:30 am

periwinkle

ty spritey

6:30 am

rubyfoo

yes, which is lucky because now his teeth are 1" long and a nip would require hospitalization. I can see him thinking about it, but he licks instead

6:30 am

sprite

lol yes... when I was there, Rufie refused to do his trick of going after a ball, but he made rubyfoo do it a lot of times ;)

6:30 am

sprite

yvw peri

6:30 am

rubyfoo

he does a double somersault, but only if you don't have company!

6:31 am

lynxxx

and could Terra smell Rufie on your clothing Sprite?

6:31 am

rubyfoo

it's like getting a baby to talk in front of his gram!

6:31 am

sprite

well he IS a chow. If he feels you expect him to do a trick, he won't. Actually, Terra is the same. not a chow, but still headstrong, gr4.

6:32 am

rubyfoo

Rufie loved sprite, as did Ruby

6:32 am

sprite

oh yes, lyn! He was all over me when I came home. Happy to see me, and very curious about the dog smells on me.

6:32 am

rubyfoo

and Ruby is VERY selective!

6:33 am

sprite

I was amazed and honored. I arrived at Ruby's, and Ruby (the dog) sniffed my hand and then licked it. And I had clean hands :)

6:33 am

lynxxx

nice to see that the whole family loved you Sprite

6:33 am

rubyfoo

(I did, too, lol)

6:33 am

rubyfoo

but the big surprise was husband, who is even more selective than the pup

6:34 am

sprite

it was mutual, lyn. It was even better in real life as through the internet.

6:34 am

lynxxx

ah yes but we know he is an old womaniser

6:34 am

sprite

yes... but ruby's husband did NOT sniff or lick my hand, I promise.

6:34 am

rubyfoo

operant word "old"

6:34 am

lynxxx

lol

6:34 am

sprite

oh yes, he is a charmer! And incredibly intelligent.

6:35 am

lynxxx

and has good taste - especially in wives!

6:35 am

rubyfoo

interesting that le5?14 and lo5/10 are both in here.

6:35 am

sprite

amen to that

6:36 am

rubyfoo

no. 4 is a charm! lol

6:36 am

sprite

yes it is an animalistic grid, lol

6:36 am

sprite

ruby is amazing when it comes to taking care of her loved ones, btw. One couldn't be in better hands.

6:37 am

rubyfoo

as long as I don't lick and sniff! lol

6:37 am

sprite

*giggles* No, you didn't. We hugged a lot. Nothing worse :)

6:39 am

sprite

ok I greyed out the F. Couldn't believe at first that there were 17 words from that! But there are.

6:39 am

rubyfoo

finally found the mu**ta; I was putting in two t's

6:40 am

sprite

lol... go ruby, spell it out for us ;)

6:40 am

rubyfoo

o-o

Although â€œhairbrainedâ€ is common, the original word â€œharebrainedâ€ means â€œsilly as a hareâ€ (the little rabbit-like creature) and is preferred in writing.

6:42 am

rubyfoo

ty, BR, for the tidbit

6:42 am

sprite

I like that. Stored away in my brain vault under spelling tidbits!

6:42 am

lynxxx

you prefer harebrained writing?

6:43 am

sprite

lol

6:43 am

rubyfoo

sm5 for hug too hard should be allowed!

6:44 am

sprite

I agree.

6:44 am

rubyfoo

yay, half, nbt and nbs but no newspaper today, just fireworks tongith (which dogs hate!)

6:45 am

except that now, you-know-who watches and makes snide remarks.....

7:01 am

7:49 am

We actually got a little rain this AM

7:50 am

Anniebrook

Did it get cooler?

7:50 am

Anniebrook

No rain here as yet.

7:51 am

bichon

It was just a shower, just enough to wet things down until the sun came out. Didn't really affect the temps for the day

7:51 am

Anniebrook

Enough to give the lawn and flowers a shower.

7:52 am

MollyL

We got that kind of rain too. But there is more on the horizon.

7:52 am

Anniebrook

Good morning, Molly

7:52 am

bichon

Not enough to really help the garden. I've resorted to using the water from the basement dehumidifyer on some plantings

7:53 am

bichon

I've discouraged hubby from mowing in a drought

7:53 am

MollyL

Bacon and eggs, fresh fruit and croissants on the sideboard for all.

7:54 am

Anniebrook

Molly, the perfect breakfast...thank you. *digs in*

7:54 am

bichon

Hubby made waffles this AM. Yummy

7:55 am

MollyL

I have the best waffle recipe. You beat the egg whites stiff, which makes the waffles lightly crispy. And there is cinnamon in the recipe. They smell so good when they are in the waffle iron.

7:56 am

bichon

He usually uses buttermilk, but I forgot to get some at the store

7:56 am

MollyL

I use buttermilk powder. That keeps a lot longer than buttermilk and I only use buttermilk in certain recipes.

7:57 am

bichon

I agree, but I'm not the one making it. Love buttermilk bread.

7:57 am

MollyL

He is a good guy to make you breakfast, Bich.

7:58 am

bichon

During the week we each make our own. I like hot cereal all year round. He is the weekend breakfast cooker.

8:19 am

72 Temple Owl

there is breakfast food in this grid. well, porridge

8:19 am

MollyL

Please sir, may I have some more?

8:28 am

72 Temple Owl

with 57 to go, i have been reduced to making up words. and the sad thing is, they actually ARE words.

8:29 am

MollyL

Yes, that is the way with Babble.

8:30 am

72 Temple Owl

gl6/27., "one who gl4/7s" ridiculous.

8:33 am

MollyL

Agreed

8:34 am

72 Temple Owl

and to add insult to injury, don't forget to plural it.

8:38 am

Anniebrook

name that proper noun...old time actress, Miss Young

8:39 am

Morning babblers!!!

8:39 am

MollyL

8:39 am

Anniebrook

8:39 am

72 Temple Owl

8:39 am

redturtlehead

I dreamed about a babble grid last night with about 6 13 letter workds....

8:40 am

Anniebrook

good dream or nightmare, red?

8:40 am

MollyL

Um, I think it's a red flag when you start dreaming about Babble : D

8:40 am

72 Temple Owl

oh my. is that because you left the grid unfinished?

8:41 am

redturtlehead

It was an ok dream.

8:41 am

72 Temple Owl

did you find them?

8:41 am

redturtlehead

I recently started to take singulair at night and I think I am sleeping better because i can actualy breathe....my nose and lungs are doing better.

8:41 am

Mr Bob

Morning friends

8:41 am

Anniebrook

I have been on line in a supermarket and all of a sudden I find a word...

8:42 am

redturtlehead

Nope I did not. Hi Mr Bob. How is everyone on this Saturday!

8:42 am

MollyL

Not being able to breathe at night makes for a crappy night's sleep. Ask anyone with apnea.

8:42 am

redturtlehead

Annie, are you remembering the grid or??

8:42 am

Shirlockc

i haven't been sleeping well because of a sinus infection and why do i have a sinus infection? i didn't clean the AC filters!

8:42 am

72 Temple Owl

yes. simple congestion makes me miserable. i cannot imagine

8:42 am

crosshair

crossy hates his cpap machine:( good morning all

8:43 am

72 Temple Owl

shirl: can one clean them vice replace them?

8:43 am

redturtlehead

Hi Shirl! I am a maniac about those filters, but I just went to a new Doctor and apparently my allergies are far worse than I imagined.

8:43 am

MollyL

I had a neighbor burn out the compressor in his AC unit because he forgot the change the filters for months.

8:43 am

Anniebrook

Sometimes I can see parts of the grid when I am not at the computer...oh dear, should I be concerned? LOL

8:43 am

Shirlockc

absolutely! wash them with warm water and soap

8:43 am

MollyL

Yes Annie. : D

8:43 am

Shirlockc

then dry BEFORE putting back in, is what i did

8:43 am

redturtlehead

Annie, I think that is wonderful!

8:44 am

Shirlockc

a bit icky but easy to do

8:44 am

redturtlehead

I think Shirl, there are some types of washable filters and then some less expensive disposible ones.

8:44 am

72 Temple Owl

even if they are disposable? because a new filter is on my to do list.

8:44 am

MollyL

I've never seen washable filters. Only the disposable kind.

8:45 am

72 Temple Owl

perhaps if I put on a mask and peel the dust off...becuase i know mine is bad

8:45 am

Shirlockc

dunno about that, mine are ptac units so i just assume they're washable

8:45 am

redturtlehead

I have to say, I think it would be worth the 16.00 to get a new filter.

8:46 am

redturtlehead

wht is a ptac unit?

8:46 am

MollyL

According to what I just read, they have to be the washable kind. With a metal frame.

8:46 am

redturtlehead

ooooh. You know I just realied many of your guys are using window units?

8:47 am

MollyL

Not me. Central air. Maybe that is the difference.

8:47 am

72 Temple Owl

the probelm is climbing a ladder to check and them to install. i am pretty short and need to clim fairly high, the filter is in the ceiling.

8:47 am

redturtlehead

I have central air as well. My mother does take the filter stuff out of her window units and wash and dries it...

8:47 am

Shirlockc

ptac unit = both heat and ac, not quite central air, i'm in a condo

8:47 am

MollyL

Red, a ptac is like the air conditioning unit you see in a hotel room.

8:48 am

redturtlehead

I need to clean the spokes on my ceiling fan, and like you temple owl, I dont want to fall.

8:48 am

redturtlehead

ooooh.

8:48 am

redturtlehead

this has been a very educational morning!

8:49 am

Shirlockc

i always learn something here!

8:55 am

Shirlockc

and there's si5 in the grid, relevant to this convo!

8:55 am

phaeton

use a swiffer on the fan red...works great

8:57 am

MollyL

It depends on how high they are. I was going to suggest an extended-arm duster, but I don't think those will work on fans in 12 ft ceilings.

8:59 am

phaeton

but you can use a step stool and not be as high...just take your time

8:59 am

72 Temple Owl

lots of critters in this grid... a int in parting to everyone! happy babbling I am off to do errands

8:59 am

MollyL

Bye TO

8:59 am

Anniebrook

bye Owl, stay cool

8:59 am

72 Temple Owl

i think those swiffer dusters that bend would be doable if you are average height.

9:00 am

mixi6

the filter with the cardboard edges are disposable, the others types are probably washable.

9:00 am

redturtlehead

Can I admit, I usually clean with with soap and water. they are pretty caked, because I tend to leave the door open...

9:00 am

72 Temple Owl

bye! *poof*

9:02 am

mixi6

There

9:02 am

11:11 am

Haz1558

I don't know, cybernan. It could hardly get any worse, but the incredibly bad weather (worse in England than over here) seems to be the result of a jetstream getting stuck. I don't know what's going to unstick it.

11:11 am

Dorens

me too ru... me too!! (or i have to make my own!!

11:12 am

Dorens

jet streams seem to be getting more and more stuck these days.

11:12 am

cybernan

We've been getting news of the flooding on our tv

11:13 am

Haz1558

It's been really bad on the mainland - some localised flooding over here but nothing on the same scale as across the water.

11:15 am

cybernan

we have also had a lot of rain and meltwater flooding along with landslides in BC. Three people lost in a mudslide 2 days ago.

11:16 am

Haz1558

How sad - property being destroyed is bad enough but for people to lose their lives is tragic.

11:17 am

11:22 am

Haz1558

It was good, wasn't it? I thought Andy Murray played well but when Federer is on form like that, it's poetry in motion.

11:22 am

Haz1558

I knew it was over once Murray's shoulders began to fall.

11:22 am

rururocks

and princess Kate in the front row was wonderful eye candy.. she's beautiful

11:23 am

rururocks

well .. he didn't have answers for Federer coming to the net

11:23 am

rururocks

His serving was AMAZING (Murray)

11:23 am

Haz1558

I miss players coming to the net. So much is done from the back of the court.

11:23 am

rururocks

133 mile per hour serves? Unvelievable

11:24 am

rururocks

brb

11:24 am

Haz1558

Yes, but once his first serve started deserting him (Murray) it started unravelling.

11:25 am

Haz1558

I'm sure he'll win something eventually, just his misfortune to be competing with monumental talents like Federer, Nadal etc.

Dorens, I usually lurk but I have to chime in. We're the same as you, and my husband loves to engage people with bibles who ring our doorbell. He likes to see how far they'll go to convert him. He says it's good practice for them.

ls1

I know ru, that's what I tell him, but he likes a good discussion.

12:29 pm

rururocks

google El Bullli

12:29 pm

hego

12:29 pm

m9f9l

nitrogen ice cream...

12:30 pm

hego

I don't need my food decontructed and reconstructed.

12:30 pm

hego

I just want it good!

12:30 pm

m9f9l

well actually hego....

12:30 pm

rururocks

he's a genius

12:30 pm

hego

yes....

12:30 pm

m9f9l

reminds me of what an old geezer told my husband at work..

12:31 pm

oldhousejunky

If we really knew what was in prepared food....would you eat it??

12:31 pm

hego

yes, he may be, but not my taste.

12:31 pm

m9f9l

My husband asked "how was your meal?" and the ol guy said "it'll make a poop!"

12:31 pm

hego

I like food to be simple and fresh.

12:31 pm

m9f9l

and if that isn't deconstructed and reconstructed I don't know what is!

12:31 pm

hego

lolol

12:31 pm

rururocks

I agree

12:32 pm

rururocks

that's how I like to cook.. simple

12:32 pm

hego

it's just a matter of taste Ru.

12:32 pm

rururocks

I like to go to restaurants that cook better than I do

12:32 pm

oldhousejunky

agree ruru

12:32 pm

Dorens

with good ingredients, that's all that's needed

12:32 pm

m9f9l

We're having a quinoa salad for dinner

12:32 pm

oldhousejunky

rutt

12:32 pm

m9f9l

exactly ru!

12:33 pm

m9f9l

Which I why I don't eat out much

12:33 pm

rururocks

me neither.

12:33 pm

rururocks

I have to server her highness first

12:33 pm

hego

Just because the cooking is more complicated doesn't always make it better.

12:33 pm

oldhousejunky

quinoa salad sounds delish....

12:33 pm

m9f9l

If I eat out, I want it to be so good that it inspires me to make something at home

12:34 pm

rururocks

I like quinoa with mint, and lemon and spring garlic and arugula

12:34 pm

hego

Ever go to French Laundry Ru?

12:34 pm

hego

Or Tra Vigne?

12:34 pm

rururocks

yes many time

12:34 pm

rururocks

times

12:35 pm

rururocks

Tra Vigne all the time

12:35 pm

hego

lucky Ruru!!

12:35 pm

Dorens

quinoa salad is delicious. yesterday i had some leftover quinoa, threw it in a bowl with spinach, roast chicken, chopped up snap peas, asparagus, red onion and threw in white wine balsamic and olive oil... s & p... yum

12:35 pm

rururocks

The Laundry is too much for me these days

12:35 pm

hego

Oh God, I am so jealous!

12:35 pm

m9f9l

This is a kind of southwest take on tabbouleh I think.. Instead of mint or parsley it's cilantro. a little chile pepper... lime instead of lemon

12:35 pm

Dorens

oh ru definitely knows how to eat

12:35 pm

rururocks

oooh.. that sounds good m9

12:35 pm

m9f9l

beans and corn...

12:35 pm

hego

I prefer Tra Vigne also.

12:35 pm

rururocks

I'm friends with Thomas and Laura

12:35 pm

Dorens

yes m9 -- i do that sort of thing.... lime and cilantro are soooo good

12:36 pm

hego

now you're killing me Ru.

12:36 pm

m9f9l

The recipe I saw used canned corn.. but I just cut some off a fresh ear.

12:36 pm

m9f9l

..waiting....

12:36 pm

hego

I will come and visit you some day.

12:36 pm

rururocks

my last meal there started at 6 and ended at 2 am I can't do that any more

12:36 pm

Thanks lilli! The pre-party for the grown ups was last night (and well into this morning), even with the rain I think it's gonna be a hit. Kids love to play in the rain, after all... the house (I should say garage) may be a wreck later, but that's ok.

1:31 pm

Glantarell

sn5/14 like the thing you keep you cotton on with different 2nd letter

1:32 pm

redturtlehead

I appreciate the needle case alert!

1:33 pm

3:39 pm

3:40 pm

crosshair

my mrs used to take great delight in going down to largo fla when it was 70-75 there and the locals had the sweaters and the jackets on.she had the pool to herself

3:40 pm

crosshair

yes kje.for the first time in 20 years,we have a ac unit in the house

3:40 pm

kje

it is all what you are used to

3:41 pm

kje

I keep my house at 82 in the summer

3:41 pm

crosshair

!

3:41 pm

kje

(62 in the winter)

3:42 pm

kje

feels fine compared to outside cross

3:42 pm

kje

when you walk in from 100+, 82 feels a-ok

3:42 pm

crosshair

when it is hot like this,i keep it at 72-75 in winter when it is minus 20- minus 30 out ,we will keep it 65 in house

3:43 pm

kje

I just wear extra layers in the winter.... and less in the summer

3:43 pm

crosshair

funny how we differ

3:44 pm

kje

I am worried in my new place where the radiator is controlled by the landlord that I may be too hot in there - I don't like it stuffy

3:44 pm

crosshair

nor do i

3:44 pm

crosshair

are you in a upstairs unit?

3:45 pm

kje

in B-more, I kept it at 58-60 in the winter... that house was built in the early 1800s and leaked too much to heat the outdoors... so I got used to it

3:46 pm

crosshair

if you are to be in a upstairs unit,you will most likely be too warm.make sure all the windows can open

3:47 pm

crosshair

we were in a upstairs duplex once and we died in the winter it was sooo hot

3:51 pm

kje

I suspect I will keep the radiators closed and just get the ambient heat from below

3:52 pm

crosshair

i would imagine so

crosshair

One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number since the number one

No is the saddest experience you'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience you'll ever know
`Cause one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number, worse than two

It's just no good anymore since she went away
Now I spend my time just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest, number one is the loneliest
Number one is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
One is the loneliest, one is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do
It's just no good anymore since she went away..arrrroooooo

Mein Hut, der hat drei Ecken,
Drei Ecken hat mein Hut,
Und hÃ¤tt er nicht drei Ecken,
So wÃ¤r es nicht mein Hut.

I am trying to select a rug for my dining room and this is much harder than the other rooms

8:03 pm

lbdawger

but i thought you were moving to SF? why buy rugs now?

8:03 pm

kje

I think because the others are much more restricted by furniture/linen colrs/patterns and with the dining rom there is a lot more leniency

8:03 pm

kje

no, these rugs are for my new place

8:03 pm

kje

the LR rug I will keep, bedroom I need a larger one and already bought

8:04 pm

kje

now I need dining

8:04 pm

lbdawger

8:04 pm

kje

yep, found a cool place, move at the end of the month, will likely have delivery there around the 6th

8:05 pm

lbdawger

8:10 pm

rururocks

8:10 pm

kje

8:11 pm

8:30 pm

dan2bit

a VERY realistic, rich video game. addictive

8:30 pm

stidmama

It's a STUPID, INFERNAL, AWFUL game that has my menfolk completely addicted. IF I don't get in there and find something for them to do they will spend all day slack-jawed and glassy-eyed.

8:30 pm

kje

clearly stid is not a fan

8:30 pm

rururocks

*wonder what Tom thinks of Babble*

8:31 pm

stidmama

The one who isn't playing looks like a zombie, the one who is playing evidences no signs of actual fun. It's like living in part of Dante's inferno

8:31 pm

not that I need any more computer addictions

8:33 pm

kje

<---- remembers ru's attempt to give up babble

8:33 pm

kje

should add pathetic attempt

8:33 pm

stidmama

It's horrible -- "just a sec" has often turned into several hours. I have to stand there and ask every 30 seconds how much longer... It's like I don't have real people living with me sometimes. But if I get to them before they turn it on... then I have healthy, happy menfolk.

8:33 pm

rururocks

I tried to be celibate too.. that didn't work either

8:34 pm

kje

sounds like it is time for an intervention, stid

8:34 pm

stidmama

hmph. well, there isn't much to be said for celibacy, and there is a lot of good that comes out of babbling. *giggle*

(Not addicated...)

8:35 pm

kje

comparing babble to sex? doesn't do it for me

8:35 pm

rururocks

maybe an interrimtion

8:35 pm

rururocks

sure it does kje

8:35 pm

stidmama

I am about to confiscate the little controller thingy, I think. It can be hidden easily. I don't want them to have their brains drain out their ears.

8:35 pm

lbdawger

maybe a timer on the game console, only one hour allowed then auto shut off for minimum of 8 hours.

8:36 pm

stidmama

that's an idea, LBD. Will have to consider how to make it work.

8:36 pm

kje

um, nope

8:37 pm

lbdawger

or put a money lock on it. they have to pay to play. 25 cents per x amount of time.
