12:10 am
VolleymomDee
sounds good; hubby sometimes uses cognac with seasonings; that helps tenderize
12:11 am
cybernan
We buy whole loins or ribs at costco - leave them in the fridge for 8-10 days, then trim and cut them into steaks ourselves. Makes them more tender and flavourful
12:11 am
jillibus
that sounds great too, dee@
12:11 am
cosdem
my friend uses miracle whip and diet pepsi. its actually good.. very juicy
12:11 am

last year..we played thru the winter...it was a mild one..but they close if snow is in the fairway...might not be great golfing when the high is 40 and windy...but some folks have the cart covers and hheaters and are hard-core
1:36 am
VolleymomDee
that IS hard core; I always thought winters there were rougher
1:37 am
dart001
we get ice storms...and on average 15 inches of snow
1:37 am
dart001
last year 3 inches,....and lowest temp whole winter was 12
1:38 am
VolleymomDee
I don't like winter, but I think we need a good hard one this year... kill off pests; kill off viruses; hydrate the ground
1:39 am

surprise! i hit halfway! off to bed

nice job pav; sleep well

Does MN have the worst winter in the US?

other than Alaska?

one of our daughter's friends just recently moved to Minneapolis area... think she might be in for a rude awakening

Hello Everyone. Dart, do you live here in MN?
1:47 am

not much of a choice not to be
1:47 am

bye volley...hi nef..lived there for 52 yrs...just moved to KS
1:49 am
Nef
Where did you live? I'm from northwestern MN and moved south for the warmer climate; so I've now been living in the Twin Cities for over 40 years
1:50 am
dart001
born st paul..grew up maplewood...then st louis park...maplewood..burnsville...then 22 in lakeville
1:51 am
Nef
we've lived insouth shorview for 20 years; lived in south MPLS for 20 before that
1:54 am
dart001
where in northern minn.?
1:55 am

50 miles east of ND and 70 miles so. of Manitoba
1:55 am

that is where the real cold i was telling volley about is
2:00 am
rururocks
you want cold.. it gets down to 50 here in November
2:00 am
Nef
LOL! Yeah, it doesn't get to -40 down here in the Cities like it does up there!
2:02 am
rururocks
I know.. I have to put pants on. not shorts..
2:02 am
Nef
poor ruru; 50 degrees (F) is still tee shirt and short weather here! ;-)
2:02 am
dart001
when the cold hits...you were at least 10 degrees colder than we were...and we were at least 10-15 colder than chicago...and they think they see cold
2:05 am
Nef
yep. But I really think the weather here isn't too bad at all most of the time. My sister is a vet and still lives up in that area; I'm so glad I chose an indoor career and moved south! :-D
2:07 am
dart001
my last winter there was 2010-11...snow was up to my waist by 2nd week of december.....last year was first one down here...and minneapolis had 15 inches total all winter
2:08 am
dart001
and winters have been on the wimpy side for about 10 yrs now minus that 2010-11 one
2:10 am
Nef
I know! We had been snowed in a couple of times that winter (2010-11) and luckily had friends who helped dig us out of our driveway. Last year we'd hired someone to clear our driveway whenever it snowed an inch or more; and that didn't really pay either
2:11 am
dart001
had neighbors move in from boston....dont think they have seen a bad one yet
2:12 am
Nef
(DH has MS and I had a hip replaced last year; neither of us can shovel or snowblow our short drive; it's a slight hill too
2:14 am
dart001
see ruru..if you lived in MN you would have to get yours knees done
2:14 am
dart001
oops..heleft
2:15 am

you don't want to mess with having to shovel snow...for sure
2:15 am

Jeez, just saw the time! Our grandson is spending the weekend here and he gets up early; I better get my butt to bed!
2:15 am
dart001
me too...golfing in about 8 hrs...nice chatting with you nef
2:15 am

we must have scaared him off talking about the cold....

can anyone clue the 8 please
3:38 am
Shallow One
ra8 cut back in availability
3:42 am
Jivingjenny0
bit of a struggle but got there in the end thank you Shallow One
3:45 am
Shallow One
yw. dont like to get the overly obvious clues myself for a first try, i think one could always ask for more specific ones :) so if im too cloudy .... dont hesitate
3:47 am
Jivingjenny0
I agree, I don't look at those that spell it out unless I am completely stuck - which is probab;y why I never finish the grid. My target is NBS and NBT and halfway.
3:49 am
Shallow One
oh, i like to finish all right. i give the grid several workings, and when i'm absolutely stuck, theres always morewords. but since that never fails me, i try to avoid it.
3:50 am
Shallow One
but about 9 out of 10 times i consult morewords, i didnt know the word anyway
3:51 am
dizgrannie
just a question for Jenny and Shallow.....if one was to say - for example from yesterdays grid, Di 8,you need insulin (diabetes)...would that be a clue or what?...just like opinions...Thnx
3:53 am
Jivingjenny0
hello diz - to me that would be a good clue, but if you said di+b** on a horse 2nd vowel and plural - that's a bit too much
3:54 am
Jivingjenny0
I know a lot of people like the clues spelt out for them but that, to me, defeats the object of a challenge.
3:54 am
dizgrannie
TY Jenny.
3:55 am
Shallow One
for me it was a clue that worked well. the word is fairly common, so the clue is a bit obvious but would know how to hide it even more. I remember it was in an awkward position on the grid - with a turnable grid, i pretty sure i'd have found it sooner or later on my own
3:55 am
Shallow One
*i wouldn't know

Jenny, thats one of the reasons I don't look at Lickety's clues until the very last.
3:58 am

it were nice if lickety's clues came in stages like stage one only first letters, stage 2 first letters and wordlength, stage 3 adding wordcount and stage 4 as it is now. But i don't know if that were hard to program, wether someone would do, if enough people would share my view, and I'm very very thankful for lickety as it is right now -I'd be lost without it. I just limit myself not to open it until i atleast have half the grid, when i feel a grid is easy i try to carry on beyond that
4:01 am
dizgrannie
agreed, Shallow.
4:01 am
o-o
Those who clue cannot win. Some want more info; others less or none. That is why I do not clue like I did years ago.
4:02 am
Shallow One
how do you "win" at babble? first finisher?
4:02 am
o-o
That is not what I said
4:02 am
dizgrannie
WIN at Babble????
4:03 am
Shallow One
then please clarify, must have got you wrong
4:03 am
o-o
Another reason to not clue.... people cannot read
4:04 am
dizgrannie
sorry BR, just re read your post.

migthy harsh response, BR, but i think i got you now
4:07 am
Tanja
hello all - I just appreciate all clues and lickety too - have worked my own system of stages - finding all the words I can - then using lickety then using lickety and the dictionary and then when really stuck ask for clues :) and really I think it rude of poeple to complain if others have the deency to clue them - it is not like they have to do it - woops hobby horsing - I am bit bored - eldes sick hubby sick daughter bad shoulder and ti has got wet and rainy here and I shouold be working so play babble instead :)
4:08 am
o-o
Harsh? Your response was simply wrong
4:08 am
Shallow One
but wether reducing communication is a step towards 'winning'as never being able to get it right for everyone is a possible consequence, that for me would be even more unsatisfying than the occasional misunderstanding
4:09 am

i agree with u tanja i appreciate all clues. i pretty much work the grid same as you..

hi babble, tanja.. . some people want clues, some dont.. and you cant win with some of them.. cant please all the people all the time !. if u want a clue take it, if u dont, dont look at it
4:14 am
ivesy3
and i dont mean win the grid. i mean u cant win with some people.. just to clarify
4:14 am
Shallow One
i finally did get that:)
4:15 am

exactly Ivesy but ufortunately the mentality of the social networks has people say things and write things that have no tone or context or thought of context (are faceless ) and becasue they don't many people don'trealise there actions or manners are lacking

we are struggling, smores, but we have lots of support
5:36 am
lynxxx
Wow Sue - what a lot to go through in such a short time. You heads must n]=be swimming. Fantastic you have such a strong support time. A lot of people tend to back away when they hear the word cancer - but your friends don't.
5:37 am
uusue2
it has been pretty intense, lynxxx
5:38 am

Has to be somewhat frustrating not to know to the extent possible what Frank has to deal with.
5:39 am
uusue2
it is, BR, but we will have answers soon.
5:40 am
lynxxx
Just take each step one-by-one. It will all happen so quickly you won't have time to dwell too much on it all anyway. I know when I was going through it I didn't truly realise what was happening...it was actually much worse for those around me than it was for me. Looked like shit - death warmed up - but truly I just felt out of it. Hopefully Fran k will be a bit oblivious to it all as well. Really tough time for you - but he does have you by his side which means so much. He will get through it Sue - you gotta trust in that. XX
5:41 am
uusue2
thanks, lynxxx, it is really hard to watch
5:42 am
lynxxx
I know, I know...hang in there girl
5:43 am
uusue2
what I want to watch out for now is that he doesn't slide into depression
5:43 am
lynxxx
He has a history of that?
5:44 am
smores
That is very important Sue, just stay strong, he will need your strength
5:44 am
uusue2
partly it was a side effect of undiagnosed celiac disease
5:46 am
smores
There will be times when you will want to lose it, make time for yourself away from him for this
5:46 am
lynxxx
You know there are all these stages that you go through when you are told you have cancer....You know the Anger/Denial etc. I am sure they will have physc support services there in the hospital for caner patients...maybe that is something positive you can do/find out about
5:46 am
smores
Just stay as positive as possible
5:47 am
lynxxx
If not within the hospital...there are probably phone cancer support services. I used them a lot for me - I also used them a lot when my Mum was dying
5:48 am
uusue2
yes - I am told the cancer center here is quite good - I am sure we will find out all about it over the next few days
5:49 am
lynxxx
Great to talk to people who have an intimate and similar experience with what you are going through.
5:50 am
uusue2
yes, cancer is certainly common, and a lot of my friends have already shared their experiences - I lost my mom to ovarian cancer but that was almost 40 years ago and I was not actively involved in her care
5:50 am
lynxxx
There are always things you forget to ask the Doctor too...or may feel stupid asking him. Those support services are great for that too. Knowing &/or information is really helpful coping mechanism
5:51 am
uusue2
that was one of the reasons I was glad to have several friends with me when talking to the surgeon - I knew I wouldn't remember everything. One of them even took notes.
5:52 am
lynxxx
Talking talking - something we women do a lot and is really useful for coping. Something I don't think men do enough to get them through stuff. (personal observation in my own family this week)
5:53 am
uusue2
yes - he's talking to me but I think it would be good for him to talk to a professional too
5:53 am
lynxxx

5:54 am

5:56 am

Where is he again? I was listening to a program the other day where they were interviewing a power company trying to fix all the lines. Sounds like a nightmare
5:56 am
smores
Found the 8 - yeah!
5:56 am
uusue2
he's in New Jersey, not near the shore so no water problems, just a bazillion trees down
5:56 am
uusue2
yay smores!
5:58 am
lynxxx
Yeah, the guy was saying in a lot of instances they had to cut through/down 2 trees to get to the problem ones. Had quite a few thousand linesmen coming in to work on it.
5:58 am

hi, all. I have incontrovertible proof that I am NOT addicted to Babble. This past week, we have had two fairly large grids, and I have completed them, despite having an abrasion to my right eye that has led to a trip to the ER and to an eye doctor, with medication required to prevent infection/promote healing, and for pain. Nope, not addicted to Babble at all... :)

Just looked at your profile and we have something in common. I haven't had cancer but I've nearly died 3 times. Actually was allowed to see the other side the last time and it was amazing. I'm not religious but am spiritual and now am not afraid to die but not in a hurry either. What a terrific thing for your friend to do for others. My father has a small display in a museum in York, Pennsylvania that is a museum exclusively for the 101st. Makes me feel good knowing there is a type of memorial to him.

Scrab, when my mother died (she was actually my grandmother) I honestly felt he with me for several years. One day while I was in the shower and very pregnant with my first child I felt her kiss me on the cheek and leave. I never felt her with me again. She had her own destiny to fulfill and was satisfied I was OK on my own. I believe they are very well cared for on the other side and suffer no pain of any kind. The love I felt when I was allowed to briefly enter that space was unlike anything I've ever experienced. Take comfort in that, please.

Yes, the canyon is amazing. I adore Canada as well. Wow, Mub---right next door! I've been in every state in this county except far New England and lived all over as well. Would like to travel abroad but am happy I've seen so much of this incredibly beautiful and diverse country. Good to connect with everyone.

we just finished talking to the surgeon (profile doesn't reflect that), it may be Wednesday before we get the pathology report since the thing they took out was rather large and complex
8:46 am
uusue2
Frank is feeling sort of ok, obviously our emotions are all over the place. He is going to get some blood soon, lost about 500 ml during surgery
8:46 am
Dorens
i wish you strength for the next few days, and peace
8:47 am
Scrabbler
This surgery will require a long time for recovery, so remind Frank to take baby steps toward wellness.
8:47 am
uusue2
thank you, Doren! Oh, as of yesterday my dad still didn't have power, but he says he's fine. The library has power so he's spending a lot of time there.

8:48 am

he's been sleeping at home, sue? does he have any source of heat, wood stove? Most folks from Mountain Lakes are sleeping at the High school where they've set up shelter. Fortunately the weather seems to be warming up, but it was desperately cold for a few nights there
8:48 am
72 Temple Owl
speed. sorr sue, at least it did not become seedy! :/
8:48 am
uusue2
we really won't know exactly what's going on until we see the pathology report, and I will let you all know when we do
8:49 am
uusue2
Doren, he has been sleeping at home, he has large east-facing windows so the house heats up during the day. He's been wearing a knit hat I got him as well as some thick down booties, and says he is fine. His living room is in the 50s at night, 60 during the day
8:50 am
uusue2
I asked him if he had somewhere to go if it got too cold and he said the weather was getting warmer. Sigh. But he did say he would go somewhere if it got too cold.
8:50 am
Dorens
that's terrific sue... one thing you don't need to worry about. My house was 43 the last day i was there, and that was at 3:30.
8:51 am

5:49 pm
uusue2
I can laugh but right now Frank can't, it hurts him too much
5:50 pm

5:50 pm
crosshair

crosshair

6:07 pm
smores
really uu? I would have guessed crossy
6:07 pm

actually it's more a combination of sweat and anesthesia, which causes itching
6:07 pm
smores
oh, okay, makes a little more sense now...lol
6:08 pm
crosshair
lol,stuff really works though and wanted to make suze smile
6:09 pm

6:56 pm
SeaSpray
Thank you so much....I am hoping he is feeling well enought tomorrow that I can take him out and take him to his beloved farm...he was born there and he loves it
6:58 pm
nrkii
Oh, that sounds like a good plan. I hope he feels well enough! When my dad passed away 2 years ago, I was glad that I had a chance a few months before that to take him to the Marine Corps Museum in Quantico. We didn't know he would leave us so quickly after that, so it was just luck that we managed to make the trip in time.
6:59 pm
SeaSpray
That is wonderful...My dad owns the farm and went there everyday...My 4 year old granddaughter has been there every weekend since she was 4 weeks old...She went to visit him last night, he was so happy

7:56 pm
stidmama
oh oh, another one of those, eh jes?
7:56 pm
nrkii
thanks Stid... I picked up 19 more dolls on Thursday, so I will work on them through the year
7:56 pm

7:56 pm

well at least you have a hobby -- which is oddly and scarily appropriate for the icon in your profile...
7:57 pm
smores
you make zombie dolls? cool...lol
7:57 pm
jesdraggon
cat had a really bad anesthetic reaction, tried to die... we got her back, but now she acts like she is blind. I keep telling the owner that I expect improvement for up to 2 weeks, and I can't tell yet how much she will or will no improve, but despite the strikingly obvious changes just since yesterday, the woman is focused on the cat being permanently blind
7:58 pm
jesdraggon
and apparently thinks that blind = should be euthanized.
7:58 pm
stidmama
oh man, jes... how sad. Poor kitty!
7:58 pm
72 Temple Owl
i guess she is in shock. can an animal really go blind in reaction to the anesthetic alone?
7:58 pm
jesdraggon
Which makes me wonder if she's never met a blind person...
7:58 pm
smores
tha's sad jes
7:59 pm
nrkii
Oh jes, that's awful.
7:59 pm
smores
My grandmother was blind
7:59 pm
jesdraggon
well, it's more the concerted attempt at dying that did it, TO. Kitty stopped breathing and had to be respirated for about half an hour before she was breathing steadily on her own again.
7:59 pm
nrkii
smores, yes, started last year with turning perfectly dreadful porcelain dolls into perfectly wonderful zombies
7:59 pm
smores
and one of the most amazing women I have ever met
7:59 pm

8:00 pm
72 Temple Owl

8:00 pm

blind animals can get along okay, I have heard
8:00 pm

12 muffins, TO... full-size
8:10 pm

8:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
i wish i had one now
8:10 pm
nrkii
I have not tried doing mini-muffins or bread yet with that recipe
8:10 pm
72 Temple Owl
but i would fall asleep chewing it
8:11 pm
nrkii
I wish I had one too... I almost made some today
8:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
and ou could amear them with chocolate cream cheese
8:11 pm
nrkii
I packed away all my zombie kids to go up to the attic yesterday. It's sad, but needs to be done.
8:11 pm
72 Temple Owl
well i do have everything including the ghirardelli
8:11 pm
stidmama
Well, I just hope that they stay up there, nrk! *imagining thumps in the attic at 1 in the morning*
8:12 pm
smores
sounds yummy
8:12 pm
nrkii
People kept asking, how do you sleep with those in the house? I kept laughing about it, till my vacuum cleaner spontaneously fell over at 3:30 in the morning one night. I was not laughing then.
8:12 pm
72 Temple Owl
nrk since the bitter is melted wondering if i could sub oil?
8:13 pm
nrkii
TO, you could try, but I stay very true to the recipe.
8:13 pm
nrkii
Plus, I do love butter. But the consistency would be the same, so I don't see why there'd be any issue.
8:13 pm
stidmama
oh nrk, that is EXACTLY what I would be nervous about! I would sleep with my fish whacking stick under my pillow!
8:14 pm
72 Temple Owl
yes. i need to refersh myself on the chemistry. i know it for cookies but i forget about cakes.
8:14 pm
nrkii
And the taste is going to be overpowering spice and chocolate, so I don't think you will notice the diff between oil and butter.
8:14 pm
stidmama
subbing oil for butter can be tricky -- when the butter cools it re-solidifies in recipes, and oil would not.
8:14 pm
nrkii
LOL, stid, it was a high-adrenaline few minutes.
8:15 pm
nrkii
help on the no 6 please?
8:15 pm
72 Temple Owl
fish whacking stick? sitid do you have those walking catfish?!
8:15 pm
72 Temple Owl
not the id
8:16 pm
Minveryork
An no6/24 word is negative prefix plus Freudian term nrkii
8:16 pm
stidmama
no, actually I don't even know when or where I got it. It's like a billy club for conking the fish after you catch them. Works on most fish, but dogfish are really hard to kill. (speaking of gross zombie things)

Saddest lost tree story I've seen was up in Castine Maine. When Dutch Elm disease hit the east coast, this town went through a huge effort to save their elm trees. They succeeded, and they had a gorgeous tree-filled town. A few years ago, a microburst hit there, and took out a ton of trees. I was up nearby for vacation, and saw them during the cleanup. :(

We would go as a tr4/4. We would get on4/4 the ski lift and ski down the hills hundreds of times each day we were there. Nobody could pe4/5 us from the mountains, we'd just ke4/9 on skiing until it closed.That weekend always took a to4/4 on my legs. I was always so sore after. That tradition en 5/14 when my friends got married & had children. Now I don't have a le5/14imate reason to go there since I do not have the money to go there and nobody to go with.
