12:32 am

rururocks

in the 1990's

12:33 am

VolleymomDee

hubby had an issue with his American Express last month... very odd, isn't it?

12:33 am

jillibus

At least I now have 2 different credit cards. There's an awful lot of this going on, ruru.

12:33 am

flosey

it's a very nasty one Dee

12:33 am

rururocks

i think they scramble numbers until they hit

12:33 am

jillibus

no te6/18 flosey

12:34 am

jillibus

No, ru -- they steal your ID

12:34 am

flosey

simple 4 + 2 vowels

12:34 am

rururocks

that hasn't happened

12:34 am

VolleymomDee

something's up... we have never had any issues until this year - and we have had cards for 30+ years...

12:35 am

jillibus

ditto, dee -- the thieves are more sophisticated, and the cards have chips in them now

12:35 am

VolleymomDee

so 7 if not called

12:35 am

flosey

we had a nasty one years ago, charged twice for airline tickets - by the time we got home, that office had closed, bank absorbed the double billing

12:35 am

VolleymomDee

too true, jili

12:35 am

Altagolfnut5

I gotta go to bed... night all

12:35 am

jillibus

ru, I just mean your bank ID numbers, electroniacally

12:36 am

VolleymomDee

that's good, flosey... guess that is really the key... who is the carrier of the card and will they stand by the innocent consumers

12:36 am

jillibus

gnight alta

12:36 am

rururocks

no. .just my chase card

12:36 am

rururocks

they caught it on the first day

12:36 am

rururocks

their security is pretty good

12:37 am

jillibus

12:37 am

VolleymomDee

AExp caught hubby's, too, within 24 hours

12:37 am

12:39 am

VolleymomDee

wow, found the j's ... wasn't sure I could find that many

12:39 am

jillibus

Oh, they catch the bad charges and don't penalise us -- just block our cards.But catching the thieves is harder now

12:39 am

flosey

wtg Dee

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

ty

12:40 am

VolleymomDee

especially since they can be international crooks

12:40 am

jillibus

ty flosey -- finally the monkeys got that T so nbt

12:41 am

flosey

our little island has always seemed so safe

12:41 am

flosey

good jilli

12:41 am

jillibus

But there's been so much limited to our island lately it's felt there's somebody here doing it.

12:42 am

VolleymomDee

I know this is probably a fish, but does anyone have both i's? I only have io 4

12:42 am

jillibus

Even the guy I spoke to at the bank here said he had just lost his card!

12:42 am

dizgrannie

VolleymomDee

ty so much diz looking

12:43 am

12:43 am

VolleymomDee

12:44 am

jillibus

And the guy at the credit card company had had his compromised 3 times!

12:45 am

flosey

it really is frightening

12:45 am

jillibus

just a damn nuisance -- our accounts are portected

12:45 am

VolleymomDee

I am such a cynic; I always wonder if some of the breaches are credit card or bank employees.

12:46 am

rururocks

i'm really careful with my cards too

12:46 am

rururocks

plus I change my identity weekly

12:47 am

jillibus

*protected

12:47 am

jillibus

*so tired -- *protection

12:48 am

rururocks

12:48 am

VolleymomDee

stuck at 133

12:49 am

rururocks

139

12:50 am

jillibus

I hear if you keep two diferent cards together, thenumbers get a bit scrambled so it's not so easy for the "skimmers" to get them with their hidden infernal machines. But see http://www.snopes.com/fraud/identity/p\nickpocket.asp

12:51 am

flosey

ah, that' good to know

12:51 am

rubyfoo

hello

6:25 am

MollyL

Hi Ruby. Is there a holiday capon waiting to be cooked?
: D

6:26 am

rubyfoo

couldn't get a capon, just a VERY big chicken. I'll make my mother's "traditional" stuffing and serve escargots (not like my mother) and pumpkin pie

6:27 am

rubyfoo

how do you remember so much stuff, molly??

6:27 am

MollyL

Blessed with a good memory. It comes in handy at times. : )

6:28 am

rubyfoo

it's terrific

6:29 am

MollyL

Sounds like you have a nice meal planned. I hope Mr. Grumpy is appreciative.

6:30 am

rubyfoo

he is really trying to be nice, but is truly failing. I just hope he holds it together long enough for me to go away for my little "escape" and come back

6:30 am

smores

hello again

6:30 am

MollyL

If he doesn't, I will personally come to France and kick his ass.

6:30 am

rubyfoo

I used to make very elaborate (and too expensive) feasts for our local friends, but after a while, I realized that they had no idea of the occasion

6:30 am

smores

Hi Ruby

6:31 am

rubyfoo

as you know, of course, molly, you would be more than welcome here!

6:31 am

smores

lol...Molly..me too

6:31 am

Lizlin

Hi again

6:31 am

rubyfoo

6:31 am

Lizlin

Hi again

6:31 am

rubyfoo

hiyz lizlin

6:31 am

Lizlin

I think there

6:31 am

Lizlin

be lots of kicking!

6:32 am

smores

Sorry he is failing, but glad to hear is he is trying

6:32 am

rubyfoo

I worry about his continuing to drive, but taking away his car keys would be terrible

6:33 am

crosshair

((ruby)) as long as he is not a hazard to others

6:34 am

rubyfoo

6:34 am

rubyfoo

he drives slowly; I am just afraid that he'll get lost

6:34 am

Lizlin

Too tired to find any more words. 71 left. Can't see me finishing this one! Enjoy your days. :)

6:35 am

smores

lol...ruby

6:35 am

rubyfoo

bye lizlin

6:35 am

smores

Nite Liz - sleep well

6:35 am

rubyfoo

but we used to go to Geneva at least once a month but no longer do it

6:35 am

rubyfoo

now, when people visit, they have to either take a bus (!!) or a taxi from Geneva Airport

6:37 am

o-o

rent a car

6:37 am

rubyfoo

or, yes, rent a car

6:37 am

rubyfoo

ty BR

6:37 am

rubyfoo

I forgot about that option

6:38 am

smores

why do you not drive to Geneva anymore? Too far, or too hectic?

6:39 am

smores

;) BR - good morning to you

6:39 am

rubyfoo

it's too hard for him and he won't let me drive

6:39 am

o-o

Hello, smores

6:39 am

rubyfoo

it's only 35 mins to the airport, about 50 mins to the city

6:40 am

o-o

Did you not just get your own new car, Ruby

6:40 am

rubyfoo

yes, but he drives it

6:40 am

rubyfoo

he has an Audi (small one), but I don't drive it

6:40 am

o-o

Do you have keys to it?

6:41 am

o-o

Get in and go

6:41 am

rubyfoo

actually, not. But we keep the Audi in the garage and the driveway is a steep uphill, not for me!

6:41 am

smores

definately

6:41 am

rubyfoo

the "Up" i in our little, street-level parking lot

6:42 am

rubyfoo

we used to go to the dentist in Geneva, but now I've found a local one and she's just as good, more convenient and about 1/4 of the price!

6:42 am

rubyfoo

is in*

6:45 am

rubyfoo

I'll be truly grateful if things don't get any worse for the no5

6:46 am

o-o

I expect you think I am a pedantic quidnunc but you might benefit from reading this, Ruby: http://tinyurl.com/aqsgt5b

6:47 am

rubyfoo

I would never think such a thing, BR, I know that you care and are being very helpful, always!

6:47 am

Trifioso

quidnunc might be my new favorite word, thanks BR!

6:48 am

rubyfoo

and, anyway, I have a fondness for quidnuncs!

6:48 am

rubyfoo

6:48 am

Trifioso

and good morning dear friends

6:50 am

Trifioso

wow, today's grid is a tricky one for me to hit nbt on, as I often misjudge which word comes from which letter

6:50 am

o-o

Hello, Trif

6:50 am

Trifioso

hello my very dear Babble

6:50 am

Trifioso

Rabble

6:51 am

o-o

It really is not that bad, Trif. One you find all the words you are done

6:51 am

o-o

Once

6:52 am

Trifioso

thanks for clearing that up for me, BR! hahahah

6:52 am

o-o

Is not my logic impeccable?

6:52 am

rubyfoo

nice clue, br, but I need the middle o

6:53 am

Trifioso

added fun - there is something up with my laptop charger, and once I find a position the laptop will charge in, I can't move - at ALL

6:54 am

o-o

Rudy, group of eight(s)

6:54 am

smores

that's what I'm dealing with too Trif

6:54 am

crosshair

carefull with that trif.my sons laptop was like that and it was actually a precursor to a total power brick failure.i found the thing one day burning hot and you could smell wires burning inside the power brick

6:55 am

Trifioso

good to know crossy! I think the battery is about worn out, and will need to be replaced soon.

6:55 am

rubyfoo

ty, BR, slap me with a large fish

6:55 am

crosshair

yes,most of the 3 to 6 cell battery packs have a average lifespan of 3 years

6:56 am

o-o

os + a continent: a***

6:56 am

Trifioso

hmmm - so mine is about up then. I always buy the big unwieldy ones that stick out an extra inch, but I don't care - they last for an age

6:56 am

crosshair

that is a 6 or a 9 cell

6:57 am

rubyfoo

nice clues, ty

6:57 am

o-o

O + purloin

6:57 am

rubyfoo

and now it's nap time in front of the fire. very cold and humid here

6:57 am

Trifioso

honestly, my poor boo boo craptop is a *slight* step up from the flintstones typewriter with the bird and the rock in it, but I am attached to it, and there is not a penny to spare around here at the mo, so I am grateful to have even this one

6:57 am

o-o

Enjoy, Ruby.

6:58 am

rubyfoo

my computer is from 2000 and everybody keeps saying "get a new one" but I don't feel like spending the $$ OR transferring files

6:58 am

smores

Bye for now Ruby, enjoy your day {{hug}}

6:58 am

rubyfoo

6:59 am

Trifioso

6:59 am

Trifioso

crossy, do you visit the sporcle site ever? I was thinking of you the other day when I was doing one of the quizzes there

6:59 am

7:00 am

o-o

Be safe, smores

7:00 am

crosshair

7:01 am

Trifioso

I have searched the world over .... can't find it

7:08 am

Trifioso

been searching for ages, have you?

I read or heard something very interesting recently about the teenage brain - that it is an evolutionary advantage to have them be so crazy / excitable / susceptible at that age - more likely to be able to adapt to changing world they are 'inheriting'

fisting a spoon....ew

no, no pandas to worry about, thanks BR

7:17 am

Trifioso

I tutored a kid with PANDAS last year. That poor thing - it just wiped his slate clean, and he was wrecked. I have never seen such a bad case

7:19 am

o-o

Mental disorders are a curse and it takes more than a pill

7:19 am

Trifioso

please don't find this in bad taste, but it's become a bit of a dark joke amongst a lot of us - sort of a "please let it be pandas, please let it be pandas" thing, as pandas has a timeline and a cure. Adolescence? Not so much

i figue my son will come out of it around age 30 or so:(

You are right, crossy!

or when he move out and move back home with the pregnant gf,whichever comes first

7:20 am

I was not fun for my parents ... I got a suitcase when I graduated high school and I was expected to use it.

7:21 am

Trifioso

I hope she comes through relatively unscathed is all. her decision making powers are very poor, and she is very, very impulsive, so the teenage years provide particular challenges. yes, like the ones you mention, crossy. Except she would be the girl in the scenario

7:21 am

Trifioso

bill cosby did a GREAT graduation speech at my friend melinda's commencement - he said "your parents wanted me to tell you that today, many roads are open to you. NONE of them lead home

when our son flies away from the nest we are instantly packing our bags and going 3000 miles away to the far west coast,maybe vancouver isle and getting a nice 700 sq foot open concept loft on the ocean so nobody can move back in

7:22 am

Trifioso

i miss tertiare. she was so nice, once upon a time.

7:22 am

Trifioso

sounds like a PLAN!

7:23 am

Trifioso

would you not move south a bit?

7:23 am

we will fly out to see grandbabbies but that is it lol

7:23 am

nope.the states holds no real interest for me.a snowbird i am not

I am not saying the states, exactly - bermuda? tenerife? somewhere you will never have to shovel snow again

7:24 am

but if i go all the way west.i can avoid the snow

7:25 am

okay then

7:25 am

it only took about 10 years for me to have the same feeling flying into DC that I used to have flying into Houston

7:28 am

jmcnrick

hi all

7:29 am

o-o

same feeling? Panic?

7:29 am

Trifioso

I think I need to live near family. Thats a big part of it

7:29 am

jmcnrick

haha no a feeling of pride in my city

7:29 am

jmcnrick

it did help that my sister lives here Trif

7:29 am

Trifioso

of course, who can predict where they will all end up?

7:30 am

crosshair

home is where the heart is.you miss the comfortable feeling of knowing the weather cycles,the smell of the lake in the morning or the ocean at sunset.of knowing the towns,the villiages,the traditions.it gets into you so even costa rica with all its beauty is not home

7:30 am

o-o

God?

jmc my dad was the same way - a transplanted cheesehead

7:30 am

hi dan . . .lots of transplants here

7:31 am

MimiCat

Morning, all. Where's our smores? Crossy, I've lived in several places in the US and now I'm thinking about moving somewhere it's cold most of the time because these days I look so much better with more clothes on!

7:31 am

jmcnrick

when they had a fund raiser for Ann Richard's school with the play about her there were lots of Texas expats to say hello to

7:31 am

Trifioso

I have to say, jmc, with all respect and love, that I found it hard to find anyone with a sense of permanence in DC - I was there for about 4 years, I think.....because so many people live there for terms, it seems most people think of it as a way station

7:32 am

dan2bit

<-- born and raised. There's more of us than it might appear :-)

7:32 am

jmcnrick

well i think you will find people who have been her more than 10 years think of it as home as i do

7:32 am

dan2bit

but admit, it can be a hard place to get accustomed to

7:33 am

Trifioso

I am glad to know that. I found a lot of virginians who felt quite "planted" but much less in the city

7:33 am

jmcnrick

i remember thinking i would never get used to being underground for the metro but now i only think of thinking that

7:33 am

Trifioso

I LOVE the metro in DC! Trust me, compared to the fetid T in Boston, it's luxury

7:33 am

MimiCat

DC is a beautiful city. I've been there several times and loved it. You could spend the rest of your life just touring the Smithsonian.

7:34 am

jmcnrick

well my sister and many of the texas expats who came up with LBJ and later with Clinton consider this home

7:34 am

my first wife said it was like living in a postcard :-) She eventually ended up back in Idaho

7:34 am

Love that quote, BR.

the MALLS in DC/Maryland/Virginia were the other thing it took some getting used to! Potomac Mills, Tysons Corner, etc. HUGE places!

7:37 am

MimiCat

I'm not crazy about Phoenix anymore but I do have a good-sized one-bedroom apt. with a full-size washer and dryer, two pools in the complex, a nice courtyard to look out onto and my rent is only $515/month.

7:37 am

jmcnrick

haha small compared to some things in the midwest and texas trif. . . NE is a very cramped place to me!

7:38 am

Trifioso

that is AMAZING to a Boston girl, mimi! I shudder to think what 515 a month would get you in boston

7:38 am

jmcnrick

it wouldn't get you much here either

7:39 am

When I was still in college, studio apartments outside of Boston rented for upwards of $1300 a month

7:39 am

Trifioso

on the plus side, I can buy one bottle of sunscreen and it lasts me a whole summer

7:39 am

o-o

In college in the heart of winter walking back to my dorm from the gym with a full moon, calm and thirty below, the only sound was the crunching of your feet .. I loved it.

7:40 am

MimiCat

I hear that from many of my friends who live elsewhere. Funny, Trif, I almost married a guy who lived in Boston and would have moved there. I visited and found it utterly gorgeous. On the sunscreen issue, one bottle wouldn't even last a week here if you were diligent about use.

7:40 am

jmcnrick

yes the crunch of snow and ice is a good sound on a quiet night. . . one i have learned to appreciate

7:41 am

jmcnrick

Boston is one of my favorite cities. . .a good walking city with lots of great cheap italian restaurants and bodegos

boston is great. I love seeing primo discover it for his own, now that he is studying there

7:43 am

MimiCat

I truly miss the changing seasons. I was raised just in the Cincinnati area. My old high school is next to Kings Island amusement park. I miss weather---we don't have weather here. We have dry, sunny, nice all the time October-May and then hot as hell from May through September. I miss thunderstorms.

7:43 am

Trifioso

the people of boston have a wicked sense of humor that resonates with me....I would miss that

7:43 am

Trifioso

the ohio thunderstorms are BIBLICAL

7:44 am

speaking of the west i see in the grid the mountains that were right outside my mil's chidhood home in jackson hole

For me, weather is a mindset .... much like everything else ... you take what you are given and do what you might

7:44 am

yes, but enable has no love for them

7:44 am

the changing seasons is one of the reasons i like living in dc

I lived in Atlanta for 4 years in the early 70's and back then it was just starting to grow and was exciting. My best friend still lives there and now it's expensive and they have no good doctors left. The Georgia doctors moved to Florida due to the malpractice laws. You would not believe what she has to go through just to get someone who is competent at all. It's scary. I even called the state medical board and they agreed there is a crisis!

7:49 am

7:49 am

I'd love to go to Pike's Place Market regularly, take a ferry ride often and gaze out at the San Juan's. The other issue here in Phoenix is allergies....constant and unrelenting. The dust is so bad it's necessary to dust nearly every day. But there's no mold. Life is a tradeoff, right?

I've been excellent about staying in control on that front. His girlfriend has moved here and they are now living together. Bear in mind this is the woman he was seeing BEFORE we separated. I've successfully avoided meeting her all these years for fear of what I might say or do. She was, btw, also married at the time---to a cop!! Must have been a stupid cop because apparently he couldn't even BUY a CLUE.

In the 1950s, Harper Lee moved to New York to become an author. Her 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird won a Pulitzer Prize, but aside from a few nonfiction magazine articles she's published since, sheâ€™s refused to write anything elseâ€”including a foreword for her lone novel.

Crossy, when you start with the best, it's difficult to try anymore, right? I think I'd feel that way.

8:35 am

bichon

8:36 am

crosshair

and i did and i admit it:)

8:36 am

8:37 am

8:38 am

crosshair

if you have never heard it in conversation or never seen it printed on a page,morewords is allowable;))

8:38 am

ef7 and 8 are Shakespearean, but Babble Rabble cleverly clued them earlier as "newt pronto!"

8:38 am

haha, cross

8:38 am

I tend to agree with you

8:38 am

There's really 6 t's from the bottom t?

8:42 am

MimiCat

I tried fest, too, hurshy! It's a word in other games.

8:43 am

hurshy

i know, but i've also known for years that it doesn't count here and yet...

8:43 am

bichon

Fest should be a word, just like spam

8:44 am

MimiCat

One last made up word before I got and another "et" word. Small test.....now I retire to the PB and bid you all adieu.

8:45 am

hurshy

yes, there really are 6 t's from the bottom, i've found them

8:45 am

sprite

hello all

8:46 am

bichon

a hint for at least one hurshy

8:46 am

MimiCat

Hi and bye, sprite!

8:46 am

hurshy

add a vowel to exam

8:46 am

hurshy

then add another vowel for a 6

8:47 am

hurshy

exam + not off, and pl

8:47 am

bichon

tyvm hurshy

8:47 am

hurshy

those words, then double the vowel, gives you the last two

8:47 am

sprite

hi and bye, Mimi :)

8:48 am

hurshy

woot, 18 left.

8:49 am

hurshy

if that w were another L we could have constellate

8:52 am

Judi

Name that proper noun: One of the Santa's reindeer.

8:52 am

hurshy

that's a word, too, you can't use it for NTPN

8:52 am

bichon

Blitzen

8:52 am

hurshy

oh no, i'm wrong

8:52 am

hurshy

donner

8:53 am

Judi

Ding! Ding! Ding!

8:53 am

hurshy

although i think it's really donder.

8:53 am

hurshy

maybe both are acceptable spellings.

8:53 am

bichon

I wonder

8:54 am

Judi

Is it? I always thought it was "donner". Now I feel all confused.

8:54 am

bichon

It's Donner

8:55 am

hurshy

wiki says: Santa Claus' reindeer is a team of flying reindeer traditionally held to pull the sleigh of Santa Claus and help him deliver Christmas gifts. The commonly cited names of the reindeer are Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donder (or Donner), and Blitzen.

8:56 am

Judi

Wow. One of the reindeer has an alias. How supicious.

8:56 am

Jeff7

OK: name that proper noun actor who was Rocky's commanding offficer in Rambo...among many other roles

8:56 am

Judi

*suspicious* even.

8:56 am

sprite

both is correct. Donder and Donner are both words for Thunder in Dutch/German etc languages.

8:56 am

MollyL

Never seen him referred to as Donder.

8:56 am

hurshy

*wonders how jeff's NTPN will go over in a female dominated chatroom*

8:56 am

Judi

If Blitzen and Donder had a fawn, it would be "Blunder".

8:57 am

sprite

lol

8:58 am

hurshy

i haven't the foggiest idea who's in those movies besides stallone.

8:58 am

sprite

btw, add a consonant to the most usual spelling and you have a valid word today

8:58 am

sprite

sorry Jeff, not the foggiest

8:58 am

ty sprite i was just in the process of looking for that word!

9:00 am

mael is a winner

9:00 am

only because my husband has watched these movies obsessively and is very fond of telling me "yeah, and that guy, with the bit part, was in that 80s movie that you haven't seen"

How can you not "get" a day to share a meal with friends and loved ones and be grateful for your blessings?

9:46 am

sprite

I have an idea, ruby! I'll come visit next year, we celebrate the idea and we cook a moderate meal.

9:47 am

rubyfoo

they seem to have never heard of the holiday and I'd get all weepy saying the blessing. Too much for me, but it was certainly a lovely feast when I did it

9:48 am

rubyfoo

I'm a bit weepy when it comes to prayers and blessings. Sentimental moi!

9:48 am

sprite

I think it is one of the most beautiful celebrations. We don't do it here in the Netherlands. We are stuck with the Christian days but those are not celebrated like this.

9:48 am

o-o

Hello, sprite.

9:49 am

sprite

nothing wrong with being able to be touched by gratefulness and emotions.

9:49 am

sprite

hello BabbleRabble, am happy to see you!

9:49 am

mael

I have to say that I don't really "get" it either

9:50 am

mael

I think you have to grow up with it, for the most part

9:50 am

o-o

I do not get it cause I do not cook so well

9:50 am

harpjane

for nbt, could I get a clue for the corner t?

9:50 am

rubyfoo

I still make my mother's dishes and she's been gone about 20 years

9:50 am

sprite

harpjane: exam plus vowel.

9:50 am

mael

exam + vowel, latin plural

9:51 am

rubyfoo

I think I miss her the most at Thanksgiving

9:51 am

harpjane

thanks nbt

9:51 am

mael

I'm sorry, ruby

9:51 am

sprite

lol BabbleRabble... one has to be really hungry to be grateful for an ill-cooked meal, I guess

9:51 am

mael

I miss my mom most when I think about her cooking, actually, there's a visceral love that you feel through food

9:52 am

rubyfoo

too true, mael

9:52 am

rubyfoo

but I still miss my mother very often....a little bit crazy, I fear

9:52 am

sprite

but both of you have had a mother you really miss... and that is a blessing, I think

9:52 am

harpjane

visceral. hm. not a word I would use while stuffing a turkey!

9:52 am

sprite

yvw harp

9:53 am

uusue2

ok, we are back

9:53 am

sprite

lol!

9:53 am

sprite

wb sue

9:53 am

mael

it is, in a way. My mom was the best mom ever, and I lost her way too soon. I was only 23.

9:53 am

rubyfoo

and I use all the viscera!

9:53 am

uusue2

ah, I was 22 when my mom died, mael, it is hard

9:53 am

mael

not that there's ever enough time with a loved one :)

9:53 am

rubyfoo

I was lucky. She lived to be about 85 and I was past 50

9:53 am

sprite

*rethinks celebrating Thanksgiving with ruby*

9:54 am

rubyfoo

wb sue

9:54 am

mael

yeah, sue, I think the biggest sadness I carry is that she never met the man I married. She would have loved to see me happy.

9:54 am

rubyfoo

gardener is cutting the grass; it's surprising how it has grown so long in this nasty cold weather and the geraniums are at their absolute peak!

9:54 am

o-o

I think that is offal

9:55 am

sprite

I agree :)

9:55 am

rubyfoo

husband actually ate offal at lunch in a resto; he just didn't know what he was eating

9:55 am

mael

lol, ruby

9:56 am

crosshair

there we go:)) crossy is back and much cleaner;)

9:56 am

sprite

argh yuck

9:56 am

MollyL

Oh wow, it's weepy time at Thanksgiving and we haven't even cracked open the wine yet. : )

9:56 am

uusue2

my mom always wanted grandchildren - my younger sister had kids first but my mom never met any of them

9:56 am

mael

don't tell anyone, but my favorite food in the whole world is rabbit kidneys

9:56 am

uusue2

<--- is all in favor of a clean crossy

9:56 am

sprite

I won't ask if you had a good time, crossy! :)
Wb, and wow you smell good.

9:56 am

rubyfoo

it was a perfect lunch for a cold and nasty day -- onion soup with "gesiers" (untranslatable) on toast and hot wine

9:56 am

MollyL

*Crosses mael off the "to invite for dinner" list*

9:57 am

mael

I don't have any children yet, and I am not religious, but the way I make myself feel better is that they're spending time with my mother before they get to spend time with me :)

9:57 am

crosshair

mmm..rabbits...

9:57 am

sprite

*keeps Scrabbler's ears closed*

9:57 am

crosshair

i am brave and only say things like that when scrabby is not here

9:57 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves offal but only small kidneys and not tripe!

9:57 am

sprite

aw I like that thought, mael

9:58 am

rubyfoo

and doesn't eat rabbit (would eat the kidneys though)

9:58 am

sprite

tripe... never could understand how anyone could eat tripe, unless one is a dog

9:58 am

rubyfoo

my dogs would sniff and walk away (maybe lol)

9:58 am

MollyL

There is a reason offal sounds like awful.

9:58 am

sprite

I don't eat organ meat, just muscle meat. Sorry.

9:58 am

mael

yeah, the texture of tripe is no good, very bad

9:59 am

rubyfoo

the only good tripe I've ever had was deep-fried in northern Italy and in Philadelphia hot pot

9:59 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves liver

9:59 am

sprite

I think there is a obvious connection between offal and 'afval', which is dutch for garbage. That which you throw away.

9:59 am

rubyfoo

raofl, sprite

9:59 am

mael

I think it's very regional, growing up in northern italy we ate organ meat all the time (and weird meat, like beef tongue)

9:59 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves Dutch

10:00 am

rubyfoo

it's hard to find tongue here, but I love it.

10:00 am

rubyfoo

and it's hard to cook

10:00 am

crosshair

crossy does not eat innards

10:00 am

sprite

beef tongue is being eaten here as well. Also not my favorite thing... I always wonder who is tasting who.

10:01 am

rubyfoo

do you like eels, sprite?

10:01 am

o-o

I get tongue-tied at the thought

10:01 am

sprite

only smoked, ruby :)

10:01 am

rubyfoo

can't get them here, but used to love them when travelling or in sushi restos

10:01 am

mael

my poor husband, we're going home to Italy for christmas this year. He's going to be faced with a lot of delicious food that grosses him out

10:01 am

sprite

lol BabbleRabble. How about soup from the tail of an oxen?

10:02 am

crosshair

i do not know about eels,but rattler is very tasty when cut into chunk,battered and deep fried

10:02 am

sprite

poor hubby!

10:02 am

rubyfoo

too bad for him, mael, Italian food is wonderful, offal or not! Where in Italy?

10:02 am

sprite

I could eat rattler. I have heard it tastes a bit like chicken.

10:02 am

mael

I tend to only tell him what it is if he asks. He knows it's better for his peace of mind if he doesn't. :)

10:02 am

rubyfoo

crossy, you could cut up my shoe and, if deep-fried, it would be delish

10:02 am

o-o

that tail would be tale for me best untold

10:03 am

mael

I'm from the northern part of Lake Garda, close-ish to Austria.

10:03 am

crosshair

lol ruby

10:03 am

rubyfoo

Ruffino comes from there

10:03 am

sprite

for me too, BabbleRabble. Here we say: "On4 you looked beneath the tail of an oxen, you don't want the soup anymore".

10:04 am

sprite

one of the few good sayings of my father, ruby: "Treated like that, you can even make poo taste good."

10:04 am

sprite

oh wow mael, beautiful there, I think!

10:04 am

rubyfoo

half! what a good saying, but I'm sure it sounds better in Dutch

10:05 am

sprite

"Zo kun je stront lekker maken" is it in Dutch. More concise, grin.

10:05 am

rubyfoo

sounds appetizing to me

10:05 am

sprite

lol

10:06 am

o-o

maken lekker stront is sure to please the drinkers

10:06 am

rubyfoo

hahah, BR

10:06 am

sprite

hahahaha!

10:09 am

rubyfoo

I think it's time for a maken lekker....

10:09 am

rubyfoo

see you later, kids

10:10 am

sprite

lekker eten maken! = making tasty food. Have a good one, ruby.

10:10 am

sprite

and tell your husband hi from me, please

10:10 am

rubyfoo

*poof*

10:10 am

rubyfoo

10:10 am

mael

it is very beautiful!

10:10 am

mael

bye sprite :)

10:10 am

sprite

*hugs back*

10:11 am

rubyfoo

<-- loves Italy, especially the food, but only knows the country a little -- small trips

10:11 am

rubyfoo

and small tripes hahah

10:11 am

sprite

lol

10:12 am

sprite

bye mael, have a good one!

10:15 am

sprite

fireflies for me. Bye all, have a good day and a peaceful evening. Thanks for the great company. *hugs*

10:17 am

good day, everyone. clue for the so7?

10:23 am

uusue2

hi lbd! I have no idea but will look.

10:24 am

lbdawger

hi UU~

10:25 am

lbdawger

so + female name shortened. Mrs Reagan comes to mind.

10:26 am

uusue2

ah, thanks. Usually I see that word with an re on the front.

10:26 am

lbdawger

tadone! finito!!

10:27 am

uusue2

yay lbd!

10:39 am

mixi6

not getting female name. for so7

10:42 am

mixi6-to gamble is to take a ch****--change the ch so it sounds like female name

10:43 am

mixi6

ty scribekd

10:43 am

scribekd

sure-I had trouble too-monkeys finnaly got it

10:43 am

mixi6

like mother-in-law's name too.

10:45 am

mixi6

all I could think of was Pat.

10:45 am

scribekd

right party-wrong wife!

10:46 am

mixi6

yeah

10:53 am

MollyL

Hmm, famous ones by that name. I would say Reagan is the most famous. Followed by Drew, Sinatra and Kerrigan.

10:58 am

mixi6

is7?

11:09 am

MollyL

is7...is + vowel + measurement of a prescription

11:09 am

mixi6

ty molly.

11:09 am

mixi6

fireworks.

11:10 am

MollyL

Well done Mixi. You may now go bake another pumpkin pie. : )

11:29 am

rubyfoo

hello again

11:33 am

rubyfoo

114 and good nightr

11:33 am

MollyL

Hard to say hi to someone when they only stick around for a minute. : P

11:34 am

rubyfoo

I thought I was alone!

11:34 am

uusue2

hi ruby, I just popped back in myself

11:34 am

rubyfoo

are you cooking or are you going to relatives, molly?

11:34 am

uusue2

and hi to molly too!

11:35 am

MollyL

I'm cooking. There was a fleeting chance that we were to go out to this nice country inn, but we didn't get reservations in time.

11:35 am

rubyfoo

aaah, that would have been lovely.

11:35 am

rubyfoo

aaah, that would have been lovely.

11:35 am

rubyfoo

how many people?

11:36 am

MollyL

Just five, but I make enough for the kids to take leftovers home.

11:36 am

rubyfoo

Thanksgiving has the best leftovers

11:37 am

BzznBea

One of the best things about Thanksgiving is the leftovers.

11:37 am

rubyfoo

snap, bzzn

11:37 am

MollyL

I'm looking forward to Friday, which is "do absolutely nothing" day. You could not pay me to go out shopping that day.

11:38 am

rubyfoo

can you imagine lining up at Walmart at 4AM??? I read about that

11:38 am

BzznBea

We used to go out every Thanksgiving. The only thing disappointing about it was not having leftovers the next day.

11:39 am

MollyL

The few times I have gone to someone's house for Thanksgiving, I have fixed a turkey breast and stuffing so there would be at least something for sandwiches the next day.

11:40 am

uusue2

ruby, some of the stores here are opening Thursday evening at 8 or 9

11:40 am

rubyfoo

in between marriages, I was often invited to people's houses for Thanksgiving but since I've been with Burt, I've cooked for more than 20 yrs

11:41 am

rubyfoo

you mean people are going shopping AFTER dinner?

11:41 am

rubyfoo

that's crazy

11:41 am

BzznBea

I have never shopped on Black Friday nor will I. Absolutely ridiculous!

11:41 am

uusue2

that seems to be what the big stores want, ruby!

11:41 am

MollyL

Great way to ruin a family holiday.

11:42 am

uusue2

I will probably have to do grocery shopping as we have not been home in almost 2 weeks, am not looking forward to it

11:42 am

BzznBea

And I feel sorry for those retail workers that have to work on Thanksgiving.

11:42 am

rubyfoo

it's funny explaining the holiday here. Big dinners here are with family and close friends

11:42 am

rubyfoo

but they don't have a comparable holiday

11:43 am

uusue2

impossible to get turkey that long before christmas, too, ruby, at least it was when I lived there

11:43 am

rubyfoo

maybe the workers get dibs on the bargains

11:44 am

MollyL

I don't understand people who cook turkey for Thanksgiving and then turkey for Christmas. Once a year is enough turkey for me.

11:44 am

rubyfoo

I tried to do that the first couple of years, sue, but they cost $75 , were scrawny and barely weighed 8 lbs. Then we started buying them in Geneva, but they were American turkeys, flown in, and cost more than $100!

11:44 am

rubyfoo

my mother used to make ham for Christmas

11:44 am

uusue2

right, totallly not worth it, ruby

11:45 am

rubyfoo

capon works well, but I didn't think of it in time, so we'll do with a big fat chicken

11:45 am

MollyL

I do roast beef for Christmas. It's the one time of year I splurge on beef tenderloin.

11:45 am

rubyfoo

husband is happy about it

11:46 am

uusue2

well, that's good, ruby. And so much turkey gets wasted here around Thanksgiving, a smaller bird makes sense

11:46 am

rubyfoo

when I was a young bride, 100 yrs ago or so, I used to make Beef Wellington with tenderloin. That's the sort of thing young faculty wives do, I think

11:47 am

uusue2

my grandmother did that once, ruby. Then there was another Christmas where we did a roast goose with chestnut stuffing. That was fun.

11:47 am

MollyL

Turkey does not go to waste in my house. I freeze anything leftover in "meal size" containers and it gets used later on.

11:47 am

uusue2

yes, I always did that too, molly, I even used the carcass to make stock.

11:47 am

MollyL

I also make stock with the carcass.

11:47 am

MollyL

Snap Sue.

11:47 am

rubyfoo

I've only eaten goose a couple of times, but have never cooked it

11:48 am

MollyL

I don't care for goose. Very fatty.

11:48 am

rubyfoo

tell me about your stuffings, ladies

11:48 am

uusue2

But nationally almost 300 million pounds of turkey gets thrown away after Thanksgiving (maybe mostly from restaurants or something?)

11:48 am

rubyfoo

that is a shocking stat

11:49 am

MollyL

Very basic New England stuffing here. Seasoned bread crumbs, onion, celery, chicken stock and some of the giblet juice.

11:49 am

rubyfoo

I've been learning various ways of cooking duck, also very fatty, and it is delish

11:49 am

MollyL

I've had cornbread stuffing with sausage which is good, but not a favorite with my clan.

11:49 am

rubyfoo

I do something similar but add chestnuts, pecans AND the giblets

11:50 am

uusue2

I haven't cooked a turkey in decades, so can't weigh in with any authority on stuffing

11:50 am

MollyL

My ex made giblet gravy with hard boiled eggs in it.

11:51 am

BzznBea

Molloy, do you stuff the bird with your stuffing?

11:51 am

MollyL

Yes, I stuff the turkey and cook some stuffing on the side in a pan.

11:51 am

rubyfoo

(I always did and nobody ever got sick)

11:52 am

MollyL

You only get sick from stuffing that is not removed from the turkey right after it comes out of the oven.

11:52 am

rubyfoo

my first husband's wife, a true New Englander, makes stuffing with sausage and(I think) oysters.....

11:53 am

rubyfoo

I've left it in the bird and eaten it for a couple of days -- never got sick

11:56 am

MollyL

I just took a pumpkin cheesecake pie out of the oven. The smell is so "Thanksgiving".

11:56 am

rubyfoo

yum

11:57 am

uusue2

that sounds awesome, molly! *loves cheesecake*

11:57 am

BzznBea

I've got a chocolate chip cheese cake in the oven now. Pumpkin Pie already out. Later will do the coconut creme pie.

11:57 am

MollyL

It is a layer of cheesecake on the bottom and a layer of pumpkin on top. I make it every year.

11:57 am

uusue2

*heads to Bea's, then to Molly's*

11:58 am

rubyfoo

how many people, bzzn?

11:58 am

cybernan

hello everyone :)

11:58 am

11:59 am

3:43 pm

uusue2

*could use some numbness*

3:43 pm

mo

sue ... hope Frank is still improving and you are ok too.

3:43 pm

smores

:)

3:43 pm

uusue2

we are slogging along, mo. Looks like we may be spending one more night in the hospital.

3:44 pm

uusue2

At this point it is mostly precautionary, but I have no problem taking precautions.

3:44 pm

mo

oh dear ... thought Frank was coming home.

3:45 pm

uusue2

well, he's still having a little trouble eating, and the doctor just removed his drain and poked around in his incisions, so he needs to rest a little.

3:45 pm

smores

That's good then Sue, sometimes I think they let people out to early. Better to be safe.

3:45 pm

mo

I agree with smores.

3:47 pm

mo

sue ... are you getting much sleep?

3:47 pm

uusue2

Sorry, computer crashed. We will stay at least until after dinner and will then re-evaluate.

3:48 pm

uusue2

I am sleeping ok, there is a chair in the room that unfolds into a single bed and is actually quite comfortable.

3:49 pm

mo

hope everything goes well for you both ... lots of hugs and love to you both.

3:50 pm

Jillyjill

Just caught up with things uusue...keeping fingers crossed. I do hope they have discussed drink supplements like Ensure for Frank?

3:50 pm

mo

oh good at least you dont have to sit in a chair to sleep.

3:50 pm

Jillyjill

And hello all!

3:50 pm

mo

hello jilly.

3:51 pm

smores

Hiya Jilly

3:51 pm

uusue2

Yes, he is already using Ensure Enliven.

3:51 pm

smores

Glad to hear you are getting some rest Sue

3:51 pm

smores

No problems with it?

3:52 pm

uusue2

Enlive, that is. Give me a minute, the computer is cranky.

3:52 pm

Jillyjill

Good, one point is to have that inbetween meals; if done around mealtime it can decrease appetite.

3:54 pm

uusue2

There, that's better.

3:54 pm

Jillyjill

;-)

3:55 pm

uusue2

Jill, right now I am just trying to get him to eat ANYTHING. So far today it's been about 3 oz of yogurt, maybe 3 oz of that Ensure drink, and 2-3 bites of omelet.

3:55 pm

uusue2

And the problem isn't really appetite; it's more emotional.

3:56 pm

smores

Does is bother him to eat or just no appetite?

3:56 pm

Jillyjill

You are a very good nurse uusue! Hang in there. Any negative outcomes to indrasing his diet?

3:57 pm

uusue2

He has LOTS of gas pain that gets worse when he eats.

3:57 pm

smores

:(

3:58 pm

uusue2

Which has me a little concerned; I want to be sure that all the snipped and re-attached parts are functioning as they should.

3:58 pm

Jillyjill

Not sure if it would help, but they do have simethecone drops that decrease gas without decreasing the motility of the intestines.

4:00 pm

uusue2

They are giving him Protonix (which is primarily an acid reducer); I can ask about a gas reducer as well. A couple of days ago they really didn't want to go there, but that was then and this is now.

4:01 pm

Jillyjill

It's a choice of potentially masking problems..

4:01 pm

uusue2

right, and since he already has had one serious complication...

4:02 pm

Jillyjill

Will make for a very balance..

4:02 pm

Jillyjill

<----nbt,nbs

4:02 pm

uusue2

anyway in a little while I will see if they've called in the meds they are going to discharge him with, as the pharmacy is closed tomorrow

4:03 pm

uusue2

yay jilly!

4:03 pm

Jillyjill

Have they talked about what to do with the central line?

4:04 pm

uusue2

They will remove it before we go home (probably right before, to be sure he doesn't need it)

4:05 pm

uusue2

they just used it an hour or two ago to give him more antibiotics

4:05 pm

Jillyjill

If any concerns about near future, there can be an option of teaching you to flush it daily and sending him home with it.

4:05 pm

uusue2

I think if they are that concerned they won't send him home.

4:08 pm

mo

must be off now ... love to you and Frank and everyone out there and good luck.

4:08 pm

Jillyjill

Have a great day mo..

4:09 pm

mo

ty jilly and you too.

4:09 pm

smores

Bye mo :) have a great evening

4:11 pm

uusue2

bye mo!

4:11 pm

uusue2

and thanks!

4:11 pm

Jillyjill

Has he gained any strength/endurance?

4:13 pm

evanonut

good evening kiddos!

4:13 pm

Jillyjill

Hello evanonut!

4:14 pm

smores

Hi evan :)

4:14 pm

evanonut

how's things this fiiiiine evening?

4:14 pm

Jillyjill

Looking forward to a 4 day weekend!

4:15 pm

evanonut

ah, i am afraid i must work friday, so i can't join you on that

4:16 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, well, if there is an emergency I might get called for Friday...we'll see

4:16 pm

evanonut

do like me and ignore the phone when you're not working, does wonders for your life

4:17 pm

uusue2

he is getting a little stronger, Jill

4:17 pm

uusue2

but is still quite weak. needs to eat.

4:17 pm

evanonut

who is sick?

4:18 pm

Jillyjill

That is a great sign uusue. I am sure this is extremely stressful for both of you. And Frank is very lucky to have such a great person standing by his side!

4:18 pm

uusue2

my fiance, evan, LOOOOOONG story in my profile

4:18 pm

uusue2

((((jill))) thank you :-)

4:19 pm

Jillyjill

Well, the wedding vows will be easy...you've already had "in sickness" and "bad times".

4:20 pm

evanonut

a loooooong story i am personal familiar with uusue, best of luck to you. that's a draining experience

4:20 pm

uusue2

unfortunately when the doctor came to remove the drain and poke around in the incision, Frank had fallen a bit behind on his pain meds, so was close to unmedicated while he was doing that

4:20 pm

uusue2

and you are right, jilly!

4:20 pm

smores

lol...noid should sooo be a word

4:20 pm

evanonut

as in i came into the chog and 'noid everyone

4:21 pm

Jillyjill

Well, that was not a great thing....and Docs tend to go ahead with the poking and prodding irregardless :-(

4:21 pm

uusue2

so should annoid, like I am really annoid that it is so hard for me to find words in this grid

4:22 pm

Jillyjill

Naw evan, it's fine, not 'noid at all..you're concern would be appreciated by uusue..

4:22 pm

smores

lol...what was that commercial a long time ago with the little noid character?

4:22 pm

uusue2

Indeed.

4:22 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, I was thinking this one was pretty doable...just remember the pl

4:22 pm

evanonut

i keep seeing 'food' in the puzzle...maybe cause i dearly wish to eat but can't bring myself to do it

4:22 pm

uusue2

yeah, I'm just kind of brain dead at the moment.

4:22 pm

uusue2

why not, evan?

4:23 pm

MollyL

Dominos pizza avoid the noid

4:23 pm

Jillyjill

very good molly, I couldn't recall it at all!!

4:24 pm

evanonut

recent root canal, jaw feels all bruised. uusue, may i kindly and without any intent to insult knowing that i've known you all of three minutes, strongly suggest that you get your you time?

4:24 pm

smores

YAY Molly, thank you - I could picture the little character " Don't be a noid"

4:24 pm

uusue2

you certainly may, evan :-)

4:25 pm

smores

:( so sorry evan - will you be able to eat tomorrow?

4:25 pm

evanonut

ah good! something i frequently look back on and realize i should have done

4:25 pm

MollyL

I'm behind Evan all the way on that. Sue, you have been more than devoted, but don't take it to the extreme. You will get sick yourself.

4:25 pm

Jillyjill

That is a very good point evan

4:25 pm

uusue2

I actually have a lot of friends who have been coming in so I can get out a bit, but with the holiday they've kind of dried up

4:25 pm

evanonut

i'm thinking if i get the softer bits of turkey i'll be good, be back, time to make up the next batch of fruit pies

4:26 pm

uusue2

you can always just eat pumpkin pie, evan :-)

4:26 pm

smores

poor evan - baking pies and can't eat

4:27 pm

smores

Gotta go for a bit - just past the 1/2 - will be back later to try and finish

4:28 pm

smores

4:28 pm

Jillyjill

*puts self in PB for using do4/6 earlier*

4:28 pm

smores

bye for now everyone :)

4:29 pm

Jillyjill

see you l8r smores!

4:30 pm

uusue2

bye smores!

4:33 pm

Jillyjill

a-d vanquished and more than 1/2 way...bbl

4:34 pm

Jillyjill

Uusue...thinking of you and Frank! Praying extra and ((hugs))

4:34 pm

Jillyjill

*poof*

4:34 pm

uusue2

bye jilly! Thanks!

4:38 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh good,smores is here

4:38 pm

uusue2

hi TO!

4:39 pm

72 Temple Owl

hi sue, are you both home?

4:41 pm

72 Temple Owl

oh heck, smore is gone...i wanted to ask how to make the pie without a blender.

4:41 pm

uusue2

not yet, TO, maybe later tonight but more likely tomorrow

4:47 pm

evanonut

owly!!!

4:52 pm

MollyL

TO, I'm sure if you mix it very well, and your margarine is nice and soft, you can whisk it.

5:13 pm

Jillyjill

All quiet on the babble front...sheesh..I leave and things go dead! ;-D

5:14 pm

MollyL

I'm here. Taking a break from the cooking/cleaning frenzy.

5:16 pm

Jillyjill

We have potlucked with my best friend now for about 20 years...Thanksgiving day at her house, then leftover night at mine on Friday...so no cleaning frenzy till Friday! Now cooking willl commence after a few more moments of babbling

5:18 pm

Jillyjill

Doing green bean casserole, appetizer and pie tonight. Tomorrow the turkey and yam dish.

5:20 pm

MollyL

Sounds like fun. Thanksgiving with friends is probably a lot less stressful than with family.

5:23 pm

Jillyjill

As working moms who used to not have Friday off, we got tired of busting our butts one day cooking. So we split things up. Now with her daughters here even more cooks. Plus we open it to people we find whom have no where to go for Thanksgiving.

5:23 pm

Jillyjill

But sadly, we have lost 3 of our friends this year...

5:28 pm

Lizlin

Hi to anyone out there!

5:28 pm

wvteach

good evening all

5:28 pm

Jillyjill

Hello lizlin!

5:28 pm

Jillyjill

Hello wvteach!

5:29 pm

welki

Jillyjill

((welki)) long time!

5:30 pm

5:30 pm

Lizlin

5:30 pm

Jillyjill

Well, here too.. ;)

5:31 pm

welki

heck, we're even having avalanche warnings - could be an interesting winter

5:32 pm

welki

summer in oz - jealous, liz

5:32 pm

Jillyjill

Rained like heck last night, snow level just above the valley floor though and none on the ground.

5:32 pm

Lizlin

That doesn't sound too nice! Summer here's lovely - not often too hot or too humid where we are but winter's usually better. Months of blue skies!

5:32 pm

Jillyjill

Tonight will be different

5:33 pm

welki

hope everyone stays safe and warm, jilly

5:34 pm

welki

summers here in alberta are usually nice, too, liz. landlocked,so low humidity generally and only a couple of weeks of hot weather (+25c is pretty hot for this area)

5:34 pm

welki

anyone need a clue or two before i head off to "pretend to make something creative for dinner"time?

5:34 pm

Jillyjill

Well, us natives know how to do that! Now others...there's the worry.

5:35 pm

Lizlin

Fine for clues at the moment thanks. Just started listing at 70 to go!

5:35 pm

welki

if only folks would prepare for the weather and drive to the conditions

5:35 pm

Jillyjill

Thanks welki, but doing pretty well on this grid..only 31 left. I need to start cooking for tomorrow here soon though...*silently wishing she had a double oven"

5:35 pm

Lizlin

I know it gets cold in Ab - my cousin lives in Edmonton

5:36 pm

welki

edmonton is a 3 hour drive (north) from calgary (where i am)

5:36 pm

MollyL

Your Thanksgiving gathering sounds very nice Jilly. It's always good to have several people making things.

5:36 pm

Lizlin

If I don't see you - Happy Thanksgiving!

5:36 pm

welki

use the barbecue :)

5:36 pm

Jillyjill

How about your plans molly..who's coming?

5:36 pm

Lizlin

We're doing a Rockies trip (and Alaska) next year

5:37 pm

welki

well, before your trip, if you think you'll be in this neck of the woods, let me know, liz, and we can arrange a meet up!

5:37 pm

Lizlin

:)

5:37 pm

MollyL

My kids will be here. My three sons and my girlie-in-law. I cook enough for the kids to take leftovers home.

5:38 pm

welki

i have a couple of online friends from geelong nsw who made the trip over and we got to spend a lot of time together - was a blast!

5:38 pm

welki

hi molly

5:39 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I do wish my boys could be home for Thanksgiving...it's been 3 years since any were home then. And only one for Christmas. But last year did have both..

5:39 pm

Jillyjill

How fun welki!

5:39 pm

welki

<-- misses american thanksgiving

5:39 pm

Lizlin

Have fun

5:39 pm

MollyL

Too long of a trip for them?

5:40 pm

welki

jilly, i invited the whole chat room over - we had friends from australia, germany and all over the u.s.

5:40 pm

Jillyjill

Lizlin...traveling where in the rockies? *secretly hopes thru Montana*

5:40 pm

Jillyjill

Yes Molly, one in Virginia and one in Massachusetts

5:41 pm

welki

liz, pick jilly up on the way to edmonton :)

5:41 pm

Jillyjill

WOW!! welki, what a treat!

5:41 pm

Lizlin

Not sure yet - will probably do an organised tour as it's such a long way from home and we want to make the best out of it. Probably mainly BC and AB as it will start in Vancouver

5:42 pm

Jillyjill

LOL..don't I wish!! *mental note to get passport completed*

5:42 pm

welki

both you and dawg have been saying that for years - do it already!

5:42 pm

Lizlin

Need to get an Aussie passport sorted first. Waiting for citizenship ceremony!

5:42 pm

Jillyjill

Maybe we'll have to do another babble meet-up in Vancouver this time!??

5:42 pm

welki

where'd you move from, liz?

5:42 pm

Lizlin

London

5:43 pm

Lizlin

Took early retirement from teaching primary

5:44 pm

welki

or maybe i should drive down to great falls and the two of you (and harpjane!) can meet for an overnight!

5:44 pm

Jillyjill

Wow, so very jealous on early retirement. We had had plans for that, but hubby's forced medical retirement ended that

5:45 pm

Lizlin

Hubby forced me!!!!!!!!! Not too hard though!

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

That would work welki...maybe get lbdawg to meet in Missoula (that's where harp and I met uusue)

5:45 pm

Lizlin

I also really know how lucky I am!

5:45 pm

Jillyjill

*imagines lizlin kicking and screaming*

5:45 pm

Lizlin

Stop twisting my arm!!!! Ow! Ow! lol!!!!

5:46 pm

welki

ewww - that's an 8 hour drive for me (to missoula) - 5 to great falls

5:47 pm

Jillyjill

Actually, Griffles (nickname for Gr Falls) might work for dawg as well. Wouldn't that be fun!!

5:48 pm

welki

sure would! anyway, off to the kitchen to plan supper - later, all. nice chat :)

5:48 pm

Lizlin

Have a good evening welki

5:49 pm

6:23 pm

stidgmere

Hello and to you, also a Happy Thanksgiving. Pumpkin pie is baking now.

6:25 pm

maryanne

Wow that sounds real good We are going to my parents and get homemaid stuffing

6:26 pm

stidgmere

We are going to cook tomorrow and probably won't need to do much cooking for several days afterwards, I think.

6:27 pm

maryanne

That sounds about right ecspecially are family

6:30 pm

ChampFit

Happy Thanksgiving all, from your lurker friend!

6:30 pm

Jillyjill

Hello champfit!

6:30 pm

ChampFit

Hi!

6:30 pm

Jillyjill

Well, dinner beckons...bbl...anyone need clues before I leave?

6:32 pm

ChampFit

I'm going to muddle through, but thank you, and hope you have a lovely holiday!

6:32 pm

Jillyjill

Thank you champ..you too!!

6:32 pm

Jillyjill

and *poof*

6:33 pm

stidgmere

ty champ. I'm just going very slowly on this grid. Nothing seems to pop out.

6:33 pm

ChampFit

I'm with ya Stidgmere. Slow goings.

6:35 pm

stidgmere

Oh well. some days are slower than others.

6:36 pm

MollyL

Muddle, that is the other thing Babble players do. Wander, toddle and muddle.

6:36 pm

ChampFit

True! I feel like I muddle often.

6:37 pm

stidgmere

Hi Molly. did you mention dither?

6:38 pm

ChampFit

Dithering!!!!

6:38 pm

stidgmere

See. It does fit at times.

6:39 pm

stidgmere

I'm making fresh ice cubes. We so rarely use them but at the holidays I liketo have good fresh cubes.

6:40 pm

ChampFit

There ya go! I'm almost finished with precooking. One more casserole to make, and some dusting.

6:42 pm

stidgmere

I need to dust but we also need to defur the floor. Murphy, bless his heart, sheds.

6:44 pm

ChampFit

My dogs do too, but for the moment, it's very light. Will run the vacuum, and dust. Although my mom tells me not to bother, because it'll all be a mess after everyone is here.

6:46 pm

ChampFit

It hit 80 today... wonder if that'll kick the shedding in again?

6:49 pm

MollyL

I've got roll dough working right now. Like Jilly, I wish I had a double oven. It would be far more useful than an oven and a microwave that I barely use.

6:51 pm

stidgmere

My mother had a single oven and of course no microwave for years and yet she put the most delicious food on the table everyday. I have a double oven and really like the convenience. I'm afraid I'm spoiled rotten.

6:53 pm

ChampFit

Can I admit to that I BOUGHT the mashed potatoes from Costco, and the gravy, and made everything else? They're real mashed potatoes, and to me, saving the time peeling was worth it. As I get older, I think smarter. Mostly.

6:55 pm

stidgmere

I have a friend who always buys her pumpkin pies from Costco, she says her pies are not as good. So that works for her. I look at the variety of foods in the frozen food section and my goodness, such a selection of tasty meals.

6:55 pm

MollyL

*Absolves Champ*

6:56 pm

stidgmere

Thank you Molly, there is enough forgiveness to go around, isn't there.

6:56 pm

ChampFit

Thanks Molly. Stidgmere...not frozen...fresh, real, refrigerated potatoes. It's a cheat, but hey! I insist on having a life.

6:57 pm

MollyL

The year I had the most people for Thanksgiving, a friend said she would bring the mashed potatoes. I almost keeled over when I took a bite of mine at dinner and realized they were instant.

6:57 pm

uusue2

hi again all!

6:58 pm

ChampFit

Instant? No way!!!

6:58 pm

MollyL

Really. When all you have to fix for Thanksgiving is mashed potatoes, pick up a peeler and do it the old fashioned way.

6:59 pm

ChampFit

I don't get doing instant. It's not that big of a deal to make them for real. I use a ricer, which is awesome! Boil them, cram 'em through, and it catches the skins.

7:00 pm

uusue2

ah, that's a good trick, champ! I just bought a big bag of potatoes so I can make mashed for Frank when we get home, but he can't have the skins

7:00 pm

ChampFit

I'm not even sure it's cheaper.

7:00 pm

ChampFit

Ricer. Works like a charm!

7:00 pm

uusue2

*puts ricer on the shopping list*

7:02 pm

ChampFit

How's he doing today uusue?

7:02 pm

stidgmere

I would give you my ricer but the shipping would outcost the implement.

7:03 pm

uusue2

I rather expect I can find one here, but thanks, gmere!

7:03 pm

uusue2

he's almost ready to go home but we are giving it one more night

7:03 pm

MollyL

I love my potato ricer.

7:05 pm

ChampFit

I'm with ya. Why rush it? One of the best thanksgivings we ever had was in the hospital with my Dad. Everyone was there, our family brought sides and wine, and the hospital did the bird and the set up. it was great, and he was in good form that day. Amazing.

7:06 pm

uusue2

well, I want to make sure he can eat and have things progress as they are supposed to

7:06 pm

uusue2

between the celiac, the Crohn's, the cancers, and the surgeries he's a bit of a mess

7:07 pm

ChampFit

I'm sure! Poor guy. You'll be such a light in his day!

7:07 pm

MollyL

Champ, that sounds like an episode of "Brothers & Sisters".

7:09 pm

ChampFit

I was being nice!!! It happens once in a blue moon.

7:09 pm

ChampFit

Was I Sally Field? she's so adorable!

7:14 pm

snags

uusue, after reading your profile, I have a greater respect for what your husband has been through and the strength you have given him throughout this ordeal. May you continue doing the things you do to give him the boost he needs. Our hearts and prayers go out to both of you.

7:14 pm

maryanne

Hello snags

7:14 pm

uusue2

((((snags)))) thank you!!

7:17 pm

snags

((((( hugs )))))........... I can't imagine what your feelings are right now uusue.

7:18 pm

MollyL

Champ, of course you were Sally Field.

7:18 pm

uusue2

I'm not sure what they are either - it's been quite a roller coaster

7:18 pm

Lucky snags Feels like i have been pooped on by the babble gods

7:30 pm

stidgmere

Enough for now. Time to fix a little clam chowder. Good night to all.

7:30 pm

uusue2

night, gmere!

7:39 pm

MollyL

Thank God for bread machines. After everything I have baked and stirred and prepped, the thoughts of kneading dough right now are not pleasant.

7:41 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, a little more tired than I thought...came back to finish grid...ahhhh, but I already had...*sigh*-gotta love old age!

7:41 pm

MollyL

<---Thinks Jilly has been nipping the cooking wine.

7:42 pm

Jillyjill

Not yet molly...that's for tomorrow!!

7:43 pm

Jillyjill

Hi again uusue! Can Frank tolerate all milk products?

7:44 pm

MollyL

I actually had some wine today while I was making my gravy base. And it's a good thing I did too. Because I needed something to toast with. My roux was a thing of beauty. All my Cajun friends would have been so proud.

7:44 pm

ChampFit

Go Molly!

7:45 pm

Jillyjill

*lifts toast in honor of Molly's roux*

7:46 pm

uusue2

yes, he has no problem with dairy, jill

7:48 pm

Jillyjill

Milkshakes? You can throw in either protein powder or some powdered milk to boost protein amounts

7:50 pm

Jillyjill

Or even better, Brewers Yeast...B vitamins and protein

7:51 pm

uusue2

I already got some powdered milk and plan to put it in a lot of things

7:51 pm

MollyL

Oh sounds delicious. A yeast milkshake. : P

7:51 pm

uusue2

the nutritionist was very big on smoothies; we'll see

7:51 pm

ChampFit

Yeast. We tried that once in babbly. Yeasty, actually. GROSS.

7:51 pm

Jillyjill

Might be hard with his intolerances...

7:51 pm

MollyL

Why we'll see? Smoothies are a great way to get liquid nutrition.

7:51 pm

ChampFit

Babble. DOH!

7:52 pm

uusue2

he should be able to eat solid food as long as he doesn't gulp it down; he just polished off a hamburger.

7:52 pm

Jillyjill

YAY!!! *crosses fingers*

7:52 pm

uusue2

We'll see because he doesn't like smoothies so I will have to sell him on the idea (and create things that are tasty)

7:53 pm

MollyL

Oh well if he can eat a hamburger then he is well on his way back to regular food. Good.

7:53 pm

ChampFit

Next up...bacon! ;) Nod to crossy.

7:53 pm

uusue2

right - if this goes well I will be happy, and will believe he is really ready to go home.

7:53 pm

Jillyjill

Well, I think focusing on things he likes might be best for now...you can boost a lot of things with the powdered milk. May be more helpful than trying to change his tastes right now

7:54 pm

uusue2

he would love bacon (as long as it is gluten and nitrate free)

7:54 pm

uusue2

I agree, jilly!

7:55 pm

Jillyjill

Just thought of crossy perusing the latest Wireless catalog. Bacon throw and pillow, bacon scarf and tshirts....crossy heaven!

7:55 pm

ChampFit

Ha! Missed his tidbit today. Always enjoy those!

7:55 pm

Jillyjill

If you get a gluten-free thickener, any cream soups are also good...but again, IF he likes them!

7:57 pm

Jillyjill

WEll, back to cooking...bbl

7:57 pm

Jillyjill

*poof*

7:57 pm

uusue2

bye, jilly1

8:01 pm

ChampFit

bye!

8:03 pm

MollyL

<---Thinks Sue has been playing Babble too long.

8:03 pm

rururocks

*ties fingers*

8:04 pm

ChampFit

Oh, but it's such a great word!

8:04 pm

rururocks

as opposed to my postbrandial walk...

8:05 pm

ChampFit

well, my postbeerial walk just sounds tacky

8:06 pm

MollyL

So walk while you're drinking the beer already.

8:06 pm

ChampFit

Oh...so much sense!

8:13 pm

rururocks

sounds like she has experience at it

8:18 pm

MollyL

Well, you know how us low minded, small idea people are.

8:18 pm

rururocks

ha

8:19 pm

rururocks

think I need to go for a postdoggial walk

8:22 pm

MollyL

I can think of a word that starts with post and ends with al and has nothing to do with dogs or prandis.

8:23 pm

rururocks

:D

8:37 pm

torgone

I'm going to have a postworkial beer ..

8:38 pm

MollyL

Cheers, Tor.

8:39 pm

uusue2

ok, nice walk, we are back :-)

8:40 pm

o-o

Hello, Sue and Frank

8:41 pm

uusue2

had a lovely talk with the evening charge nurse, whom we hadn't even met directly - she told us that all the nurses really love Frank (and me too, apparently) and are really pulling for him to get well. She asked us to stop back in after we get home (which shouldn't be hard as the cancer center is next to the hospital, sigh). But it was very sweet of her to say, and gave Frank some much needed support.

8:41 pm

uusue2

hi, BR!

8:43 pm

MollyL

That was nice of her, Sue. I'm sure it meant a lot to you both.

9:07 pm

uusue2

It did indeed, Molly.

9:23 pm

dan2bit
