truth be told I was going to stop with 'ladies' until I noticed you and mitch

12:24 am

jillibus

I don't know, Christine -- the surgeon seemed to indicate that at present it has no sweat glands so it's dry -- I assume they will regenerate eventually. There's a bit of a ridge around part of the edge, which I am to massage and I hope it will go away. Unfortunately one of the lumpier places is just where my glasses perch -- a bit uncomfortable!

12:24 am

jillibus

2:44 am

rubyfoo

{{estford}}, happy to see you

2:44 am

westford

just chipping away

2:45 am

Lizlin

Hi - just came back :)

2:45 am

and I am very happy to see you too

2:45 am

rubyfoo

hi lizlin

2:45 am

westford

((ruby))

2:45 am

westford

hi again liz

2:46 am

Lizlin

Hey Ruby - I hope you're looking forward to your London trip next week even with your concerns.

2:47 am

westford

so happy for you ruby

2:47 am

rubyfoo

we had such an annoying argument last night, that I actually yelled at him and he remains chastened. Now, I am leaving for my holiday (in a week) without any guilt!

2:47 am

westford

a much needed holiday

2:48 am

rubyfoo

I NEVER express anger, usually just slink away and internalize; this time I didn't

2:48 am

Lizlin

You deserve it and I'm sure somewhere deep inside him he knows it, even if he can't express it :)

2:48 am

westford

and I'll bet you will be missed

2:49 am

rubyfoo

all good! and now I'm smiling again

2:50 am

westford

what's happening in London ruby..going to visit the Queen?

2:50 am

rubyfoo

special invitation lol. My nephew's wife is having her 50th birthday party and since she had a cancer scare this past year, it is a very important party

2:51 am

rubyfoo

we have a very small family and her husband is my only nephew and my sister can't attend

2:51 am

westford

very nice

2:51 am

Lizlin

It'll be a wonderful trip

2:51 am

rubyfoo

and I'm staying in a "boutique" hotel in Notting Hill, the same place the party is taking place

2:52 am

westford

nice area..I remember it from the movie

2:52 am

Lizlin

Nice - very cosmopolitan!

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I plan on eating sushi whenever I'm alone and sleeping a lot

2:52 am

westford

maybe you'll see Hugh Grant

2:52 am

rubyfoo

no responsibilities

2:52 am

rubyfoo

I even sent the gift in advance so that I wouldn't have to carry it

2:52 am

westford

oh won't that be a treat

2:53 am

Lizlin

Don't take any on!

2:53 am

rubyfoo

aand my nephew's 3 sons will be there plus many of their friends who I know from previous visits

2:53 am

rubyfoo

I'll be the oldest person there

2:54 am

westford

I bet they'll treat you like a queen

2:54 am

Lizlin

Hope the weathers kind to you

2:54 am

rubyfoo

as long as it doesn't snow here, I don't care about the London weather

2:55 am

westford

somehow I see ruby dancing in the rain

2:55 am

Lizlin

They'll spoil you rotten, I hope. They know what you went through to get there.

2:55 am

rubyfoo

the problem with snow is that Geneva airport is 35 inutes away and a girlfriend is driving me and picking me up after

2:55 am

rubyfoo

hopefully, I'll dance at the party; I did last time

2:56 am

westford

I didn't realize you were that close to Geneva

2:56 am

Lizlin

Just allow loads of time. Have you looked at a long range forecast?

2:57 am

rubyfoo

yes, Geneva city is 50 minutes, but the airport is closer since they opened a new autoroute

2:57 am

rubyfoo

my friend is a good driver and is a native, so is undaunted by snow

2:58 am

rubyfoo

I've ordered a wheelchair for the airports, as the amount of walking needed is beyond me

2:58 am

westford

that's a plus

2:58 am

Lizlin

I'm sure that the whole area is geared up to dealing with snow

2:58 am

rubyfoo

agog

2:58 am

rubyfoo

sorry

2:59 am

westford

had that lol

2:59 am

Lizlin

Ty

2:59 am

westford

ruby how long will you be gone?

3:00 am

rubyfoo

leaving early Fri morning, coming back in time for dinner monday -- not very long but long enough

3:00 am

westford

that's just right

3:00 am

rubyfoo

when I worked, I used to fly around at least once a month, but now I'm old and a homebody

3:01 am

rubyfoo

and husband is a VERY OLD homebody

3:01 am

Lizlin

That makes an occasional trip very special

3:02 am

westford

I just don't care to fly any more..used to be fun

3:02 am

rubyfoo

I think it's been 1 1/2 yrs since I went away

3:02 am

rubyfoo

I feel the same way, westford. I was never afraid before 9/11

3:03 am

Lizlin

About time

3:03 am

westford

it's not even that..just being packed in and dealing with the rudeness

3:04 am

rubyfoo

fortunately, it's a very short flight

3:04 am

westford

except Miami..I swear the nicest people run that airport

3:04 am

rubyfoo

and incredibly cheap on easyJet

3:05 am

rubyfoo

the bad news is that the airport is very far from London proper; the ride into town is longer (much) than the flight

3:05 am

westford

are you flying into Heathrow?

3:05 am

Lizlin

4 years since I last heard of easy jet. Flies into Luton, I think?

3:06 am

rubyfoo

Stansted going and Luton coming back

3:06 am

rubyfoo

I've used it before and it's horrible but less than half the price of any other carrier and the times are very convenient

3:06 am

Lizlin

They're both great little airports even if a fair way from Nottingham hill

3:06 am

cool.girl

luton is not that far about 30 mins from london

3:06 am

Lizlin

Self correction!

3:07 am

westford

years ago we stayed by Trafalgar Square and flew out of Heathrow but had the best cab driver..he was like a tour guide

3:07 am

Lizlin

Depends what the m1 or m25 are like

3:07 am

Lizlin

Depends what the m1 or m25 are like
,

3:07 am

rubyfoo

I don't care; my schedule is loose enough so there'll be no pressure

3:07 am

westford

the magic roundabout?

3:08 am

rubyfoo

if I'm able, I'll use either a train or bus from the airport of Baker St and take a cab to hotel from there.

3:08 am

rubyfoo

If I'm too tired, I'll take a cab all the way from the airport

3:09 am

Lizlin

I'm sure ill catch you before you go but in case I don't, have a good trip. Bbl

3:09 am

westford

bye liz

3:09 am

rubyfoo

thank you lizlin. I'm sure I'll be playing up 'til the last minute and will probably play with one of my nephew's sons from their house, as I did last time.

3:10 am

rubyfoo

3:10 am

westford

ruby you are going to have the best time

3:11 am

westford

3:12 am

westford

isn't that always the way?

3:13 am

rubyfoo

3:14 am

westford

MissOmnibus

Could I ask a clue for either one of the please?OX's

6:03 am

sprite

trust me :) Been there, done that, got the freakin' T-shirt and burned it. One moment you are staring and becoming more sure every sec that there cannot be any more words... the next you find one and all of a sudden you see a lot more.

6:03 am

hurshy

add vowel and what the white rabbit said he was, missO

6:03 am

Lizlin

Glad you're finding it easy sprite! I'm not! I've found others this week much easier. Perhaps it'll look better tomorrow! But I'll struggle for a bit longer!

6:03 am

hurshy

i cannot see the se6

6:03 am

sprite

sure. The ox7 sounds like the farm animal was not early.

6:03 am

MissOmnibus

i had second wind at 60 letters, whittled it down to 49, plodded to 32 and here i am

6:04 am

6:05 am

MissOmnibus

the first se is se6,24

6:05 am

sorry Liz :) I know, grids are personal. I have struggled through grids that everyone seemed to find easy.

6:05 am

sprite

so that is either sea or sec... lemmeC

6:06 am

hurshy

i know but i feel like i've typed every combo!

6:06 am

Lizlin

it's funny the way different people see words!

6:06 am

MissOmnibus

Somedays, if I could punch the grid THROUGH the internet, I feel the world would be a less stressful place...

6:06 am

Lizlin

:)

6:06 am

MissOmnibus

Otherdays I'm like, "I'm OWNIN YOU" baha... ,muscle flex>

6:06 am

6:08 am

MissOmnibus

...

6:09 am

Lizlin

ty hurshy - your last clue gave it to me tho I'd've preferred it the way sprite said!

6:09 am

sprite

first 3 = short for 60 in a minute
last 3 = kind of bird ***akeet

6:09 am

hurshy

why would they make a word like that? so weird.

6:09 am

MissOmnibus

ohhh ty sprite

6:09 am

sprite

yvw MissO ;)

6:09 am

hurshy

i mean if you already have a word what is the point of swapping the syllables to mean the same thing?

6:10 am

MissOmnibus

I swear the more I babble, the more I feel I'm getting juvenile dementia

6:10 am

hurshy

say, who wants a ride in my opyjal?

6:10 am

sprite

I have no freakin' idea, to be honest. It's funny though. One of those unexplicable word facts.

6:10 am

Lizlin

Perhaps we should call this grid blebab!

6:10 am

sprite

LOL! I like Blebab!

6:10 am

Lizlin

OK hurshy - you beat me to it!

6:10 am

hurshy

my cat tinmar is on my lap

8:01 am

72 Temple Owl

after cooking: 1 cup butter, 2 cups flour, 1/2 cup icing sugar. Knead until silky, shape into 2 blocks about 2 " wide x 3/4" thick. Prick with a fork, cover with a tea towel and put in fridge for at least one hour. Slice across blocks into 1" strips and bake at 300F for one hour (golden colour when done). You may have to slice into strips again while still hot, then cool on a rack. Store in a metal container between sheets of parchment or waxed paper at room temp. for 2 to 3 weeks before serving.

2:03 pm

lynxxx

Thanks Nan!

2:04 pm

If you try it -- forget the diet and use butter -- marge just doesn't work!

2:05 pm

lynxxx

I should use marg but I don't like it....salted or unsalted butter?

2:06 pm

cybernan

and knead it really well -- you will know it when the texture starts to have a silky feel -- knead a little longer after that.

2:06 pm

lynxxx

Shortbread , this is the best receipe I have ever tried and with a Scottish dad I have tried many
1and 3/4 cups plain flour
1/2 cup cornflour
3/4 cup icing sugar
250gms butter [ 8 ounces]
cream butter and sugar, add flours, shape into log and wrap in plastic wrap and refridgerate until firm, cut into about 1cm slices and bake mod. oven about 12 minutes.

2:06 pm

cybernan

salted butter

2:07 pm

That recipe is Angdrees - I have been using it for a few years now - but for cut-out shortbeads and I chocolate dip partially

2:07 pm

lynxxx

*Andrees

2:07 pm

lynxxx

I will try yours this year Nan - thankyou

2:08 pm

cybernan

I don't use any mixers -- just my hands - that is the secret. My recipe is from my Scottish grandmother, but there are as many recipes as there are regions in Scotland! This one has much the same texture but is not quite as hard as Walkers.

2:09 pm

lynxxx

Yes - I only use hands too

2:15 pm

dianedecoder

lynxx.... I copied your shortbread recipe, possibly last year at this time. My puzzle was corn flower and finally came to the conclusion that it is what we call corn starch.

hi all....clue please for pa6/21?

2:17 pm

corn flour = corn starch in U.S. and Canada , after reading up on it.

2:18 pm

hi Diane. Isn't Google a wonderful thing esp when we swap recipes - I am always looking up 'substitute'

Corn flour and corn starch are two totaly different things in the US

2:19 pm

as they are here

2:19 pm

Flask1

thanks lynxxx

2:21 pm

dianedecoder

what is the texture of your corn flour, bichon ? Is it like a VERY fine cornmeal ? Now I really am befuddled !

2:21 pm

crosshair

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cornflour

2:22 pm

crosshair

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_star\nch

2:22 pm

bichon

It's not orn meal either. We call it Masa Harina and it thickens chili

2:22 pm

bichon

*corn

2:22 pm

crosshair

we use the starch as a thickener

2:22 pm

crosshair

among other things

2:22 pm

bichon

But, yes, Diane, it is fine

2:23 pm

bichon

I think corn starch and corn flour are different. Look different anyway

2:24 pm

crosshair

they are

2:25 pm

dianedecoder

I had seen that link before, crossy... and this is what confused me: Called corn starch in the United States and Canada.
Called cornflour in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Israel and some Commonwealth countries. Not to be confused with cornmeal.
Often called maizena in the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria, Italy, Portugal, Norway, Denmark, Slovakia, Sweden, Switzerland, Spain, South Africa, Latin America, and Indonesia, after the brand.[citation needed]

2:26 pm

dianedecoder

and all being said, I think I'll just stick to my Grandma's recipe LOL

2:26 pm

bichon

Always the right way to go diane

2:27 pm

dianedecoder

;-)

2:27 pm

crosshair

in our venicular,we would use cornflour for baking corn bread ,making frittes etc,it is much coarser,corn starch is super fine and used to make cream style corn and to thicken sauces

2:27 pm

lynxxx

So you should be able to buy corn flour in Canada Diane...we are both commonwealth countries so I am guessing our products are labelled the same?

2:29 pm

bichon

We have so much Mexican foodstuff on our shelves. Can find anything corn.

2:34 pm

lol,sorry lost myself there

2:35 pm

BzznBea

There are several cases before the supreme court testing states same sex marriage laws, so all is not settled yet.

2:36 pm

wvteach

and there are just some of the states recognizing same sex marriage

2:37 pm

bichon

The real issue is not whether same sex marriages will be legal in x-number of states and illegal in others. The isuue is whether the anti states will have to recognize marriages done in other states.

2:37 pm

crosshair

we get many american couples here for weddings

2:38 pm

BzznBea

Even if a state recognizes them, they still can not get social security benefits or insurance coverage. That is the biggest issue, I think.

last year we had to tweak thing for non caanadian to divorce though

Unless DOMA is repealed. Fingers crossed

Good Afternoon, Everyone. How are you all today?

3:42 pm

Jillyjill

Hello nef...how is DH?

3:43 pm

Nef

He's doing okay; he just isn't trustworthy right now (not exactly safe yet). He came home 8:30 Tuesday night; having pain; but otherwise okay.

3:44 pm

Nef

how are you doing?

3:44 pm

Jillyjill

So nurse nef is busy....((hugs))

3:44 pm

Jillyjill

I am doing well, kinda rough day at work...

3:44 pm

Nef

tough patients or heavy schedule?

3:45 pm

Nef

(and thanks for the hugs)

3:45 pm

uusue2

hi nef, glad to hear your DH is doing better!!

3:45 pm

Jillyjill

administration....be nice if they had a clue about what we do....*sigh* just glad it's Friday!

3:45 pm

uusue2

and hi jill, wound up calling the surgeon last night and all is well (whew!)

3:46 pm

Nef

I'm glad to hear YOU and your Frank are doing okay, sue! Yikes!

3:46 pm

Jillyjill

Hi uusue!!

3:46 pm

Jillyjill

what did the surgeon have you do?

3:46 pm

uusue2

yes, we are managing. I saw my psychiatrist today and got a prescription for a beta blocker that I can use when the anxiety gets too bad

3:47 pm

uusue2

peroxide, antibiotic cream, and watch (which is what I was doing anyway). He said the packing was supposed to come out, and when I looked at it this morning it had closed up and was less red.

3:48 pm

Jillyjill

(((uusue)))

3:48 pm

Nef

Jilly, another nurse told me about a site you might like: http://whatshouldwecallnursing.tumblr.\ncom/

3:49 pm

Nef

oh-oh. What was wrong Sue?

3:49 pm

uusue2

the surgeon had opened up the original incision, which had some gunk behind it, and put in some packing gauze. It came out and I wasn't sure it was supposed to (but it was).

3:50 pm

uusue2

fixed link:
http://whatshouldwecallnursing.t\numblr.com/

3:50 pm

uusue2

I take it back, not fixed. Babble seems to insert random odd characters in urls in chat.

Best to tiny url.

I found it anyway....

3:52 pm

It's the backslash that shouldn't be there

3:52 pm

uusue2

and the n, nef

3:52 pm

Nef

sorry

3:53 pm

uusue2

don't be sorry, you are right!

3:53 pm

wvteach

hello sue

3:54 pm

uusue2

hi wv!

3:54 pm

Nef

I'm glad you called the surgeon, Sue. I had to talk to DH's surgeon too after we were home. His activity orders were that he couldn't resume routine activity til after he sees the surgeon 12/28; the home PT thought that meant bedrest for a month!

3:55 pm

uusue2

my goodness, that would be a lot of bed rest!

3:55 pm

Jillyjill

<---nbt and nbs

3:55 pm

uusue2

yay jill!

3:55 pm

Nef

not to mention that what it would do to his muscles and balance and etc.

3:56 pm

Nef

YAY, Jilly!

3:56 pm

Jillyjill

Having doubts on the PT...what was he'she thinking!!??

3:56 pm

wvteach

congrats jilly

3:56 pm

Nef

We are having a light sprinkle of tiny snow right now; first snow of the season! :-)

3:57 pm

wvteach

just a cold drizzle here

3:58 pm

Nef

She was reading that straight from the medical record: "May not resume routine activity until seen by surgeon" (which would be 12/28). The surgeon is the one who goofed

3:58 pm

MollyL

Pretty candles Teach. Are they in memory of someone?

4:00 pm

Nef

BRB, DH is sleeping and I need to check on him

4:00 pm

Jillyjill

Well, off to get a Christmas tree...bbl, so nice to chat with you alll...especially nef (it's been awhile)

4:00 pm

Jillyjill

4:01 pm

bye jill!

4:03 pm

Nef

back. Darn, I missed Jilly!

4:06 pm

Nef

Our dog will be 15 next month (we've had him since he was 8); but I'm worried he will die or need to be put down before Christmas. Poor pupster is not well; but the vet didn't find anything wrong with him after we spent over $550 in tests!

4:06 pm

lawyer-1

anyone have clues for la6/24?

4:06 pm

uusue2

well, that's a good sign, no?

4:07 pm

Nef

(It was the dog that made me think I had to check on DH; but now sounds like DH is up.

4:07 pm

4:15 pm

crosshair

way

4:15 pm

Nef

thanks, Molly. He's a cute dog but very dumb; a schiz-poo that weighs all of 11 lbs. We'd had one before this one that was smart and had thought they all were. (This one has gotten through life on his looks)

4:16 pm

Nef

yay for crossy jr! All your past worrying may be in vain?

4:17 pm

crosshair

we had a cocka-poo once that was so smart it was scary.he actually understood and carried out revenge. if you gave him heack for something he would get even,with just you,or your stuff

4:17 pm

dcseain

I always expect 'oxon' to work due to Oxon Hill, Oxon meadow, Oxon Rd and other such named places around here spelled like that.

4:18 pm

crosshair

maybe nef.he seems to have a natural affinity for this sort of thing in a savant kink of way.all these years fighting with the IEP school system and electronics and cameras just speak to him

4:18 pm

crosshair

kind

4:19 pm

uusue2

I thought the savant kink was rather intriguing :-)

4:19 pm

Nef

that's good he has a place to shine, crossy.

4:19 pm

crosshair

his compass is still drifting of course,but this may be "it" my beloved and i can only hope

4:20 pm

crosshair

my job is to show him where that compass can take him even though he may get lost along the way,if i help him read things right he will arrive at his destination

4:20 pm

Nef

having gone through a lot of anguish with my son at that age; I understand, crossy.

4:22 pm

crosshair

uh oh,waxing poetic again..time for tea and meds...

4:22 pm

uusue2

good luck with him, crossy!!!

4:23 pm

crosshair

so what is the latest with frank suze? i know he has the pic line in

4:24 pm

crosshair

wish i had that even though it is a pita.i was like a pin cushion after 6 months

4:24 pm

crosshair

looked like i had been a heroin junkie for 15 years

4:24 pm

uusue2

yeah, once he starts chemo he is really going to appreciate it, I think

4:25 pm

uusue2

he still has some infection in his original incision so I have to put some peroxide on it

4:25 pm

crosshair

he will indeed suze,the chemo needles are for the most part massive bored things9though i have seen butterfly type used with those with vein issues) but man! i swear they are half an ich across lol

4:25 pm

uusue2

but he is doing much better, much more himself now

4:26 pm

uusue2

one of our friends told us about another friend who had chemo with no port; now if they need to take blood they have to use her ankle

4:26 pm

crosshair

for dressing his larger spots ask the pharmacy for "adaptic" it is a sterile moist dressing that does not pull when changing and has medicants on it already

4:27 pm

uusue2

well, the hole closed up overnight so unless it opens again it should be ok

4:27 pm

crosshair

my left arm is shot for blood etc now suze,they draw from the right or my foot

4:27 pm

uusue2

I talked to the surgeon on call last night, and the surgeon's nurse today

4:28 pm

uusue2

did they just not have ports yet when you got chemo?

4:28 pm

crosshair

they had them,but i was never given the option

4:28 pm

uusue2

huh

4:29 pm

crosshair

and by the time i thought of it all was in chaos and i was too ill to care

4:29 pm

uusue2

apparently they are quite routine here now

4:30 pm

crosshair

well,it will be one less thing for frank to endure anyways endless jabbing that is

4:30 pm

crosshair

have they decided on the chemo type?

4:31 pm

uusue2

not quite, they want the results of the PET scan first

4:31 pm

Nef

sorry, I was off making tea for DH and me. Central line ports have been around for many years; it makes me mad to see you weren't offered one, crossy

4:31 pm

la6 small area of water

8:29 pm

lol

8:29 pm

Jacula

wht - that's so dark! I was thinking more of the love story rather than the horror film when I clued it. lol

8:30 pm

Jacula

I may be a realist re clues, but I'm also a romantic.:-)

8:30 pm

Jillyjill

Ty so much jac! Seem to be having a tough time with this one...but in my defense, watching a football game....

8:30 pm

Jac, what can I say. That was the first thing that popped into my mind. (such as it is.)

8:31 pm

Jacula

Lol, wht.

8:31 pm

rururocks

la 6 Half of the title of the worst movie ever made

8:32 pm

Jacula

ruru - You're probably thinking of the modern version of the film. The old one was much better!

8:34 pm

Jacula

The 1949 version with Jean Simmons and Donald Houston was lovely.

8:34 pm

rururocks

yes the brooke shield's one

8:34 pm

well .. it was sure new to me today

8:37 pm

wht

Is it a fraction of a parsec?

8:40 pm

Jacula

I forgot to say, it's a babblette, Babblers also know. I've added the extra t and the e to the end because it's a longer word.

8:41 pm

wht

I like you spelling, Jac. It seems much more sophisticated.

8:41 pm

wht

Although it might also be construed to refer to a Babbler like you.

8:42 pm

rururocks

as opposed to a Babelette?

8:42 pm

Jacula

Gosh! This new, whizzy cordless mouse my son insisted I have a few hours ago certainly takes some getting used to! I know my old 'attached' mouse was getting slow, but all this whizzing is sending me dizzy! lol

8:42 pm

wht

Jac, do you need a cat to catch your mouse?

8:43 pm

Jacula

ruru - Babel (the tower of) is a totally different place from Babble. Well, most of the time.

8:43 pm

grannyrose

jac, looks like you need to go into your mouse settings and slow it down.

8:43 pm

rururocks

whizzing means something else over here Jac

8:43 pm

rururocks

whizzing means something else over here Jac

8:44 pm

wht

So that is where all the wierd words in Enable come from. It is from when God confused the languages at the tower of Babel. It all makes sense now.

8:44 pm

grannyrose

hello ruru, jac, wht

8:44 pm

Jacula

wht - I might need a cat - perhaps I should let mine out of his bedroom and let him have a go? No, probably not. He doesn't like rude awakenings.

8:46 pm

grannyrose

ok, jac...i found my cordless mouse was wa-ay too fast for me.

8:46 pm

Jacula

rur - I guess you're going to tell me that 'whizzing' means something rude like we in UK had to tell you that 'wanking' did some years ago?

8:47 pm

grannyrose

hey jilly. doing well, thanx. and you, my friend?

8:47 pm

Jillyjill

LOL..go jacula!

jac...years ago, when i was a twenty-something, a group of us went out for dinner at a very posh chinese restaurant. whilst waiting for our dinner to arrive, someone started handing around a brown paperbag with cookies in it. innocent me took one, and was told to eat it surreptitiously...can't remember much after that...

8:53 pm

Jillyjill

new word for me, se6/24, astronomic measure

8:53 pm

Jacula

But, it seems to me that every time a teacher puts children in here we get foul-mouthed trolls for a day or so.

8:53 pm

Jillyjill

Yep jacula, we will have no pr5/12 here!!

8:54 pm

Jacula

Granny, are you taking your next vacation in Seattle?

8:56 pm

grannyrose

hey, i guess you could say that....much smaller than i used to was.

LOL, one can vacation in WA or Colorado soon...

8:57 pm

8:57 pm

rururocks

I ate pot corn bread only once in my life

8:57 pm

Jacula

I've never taken drugs other than cigarettes and alcohol, and brown pot in the 70s, which put me off drugs 'cos it gave me a headache. Have spoken to both present partner and my daughter after they've had green pot and still don't think it's for me.

8:57 pm

rururocks

8:58 pm

smores

9:01 pm

Jacula

When I was a kid and got a stomach upset the doctor used to prescribe a fantastic medicine. Kaolin and Morphine. The Kaolin was white and chalky and fell to the bottom of the bottle, the morphine/opium was brown and stayed at the top. I love that bit!

9:01 pm

9:03 pm

smores

I remember my grandmother taking ( and giving us) paregoric for just about everything...used to infuriate my mom

9:04 pm

Jacula

Jily - Yes, that was two books and Lewis Carroll's relationship with his friends' daughter Alice would be questionable these days.

9:04 pm

Jacula

But don't forget Charles Dickens, and others.

9:06 pm

wht

And then there was Sherlock Holmes taking a bit of cocaine when the detective business was slow and shooting a patriotic VR in the wall of his den.

9:07 pm

Nef

I once bought paragoric over the counter in Wyoming when our daughter was very sick on a road trip coming home from Montana. Wonder if it's still sodl OTC there?

9:12 pm

Nef

Our daughter is now 30; she was about 5 at the time... So it wasn't *that* long ago.

9:13 pm

Jacula

paregoric drugs roytinely given to children in the 50s, 60s and early 70s - cannabis, opium, heroin and more.

9:13 pm

Jacula

*routinely, I meant to type.

9:15 pm

Jacula

If the UK NHS now refuses to treat any of us born in the late 50s 'due to drug or alcohol' abuse I think they might ave to thinik again, given the hard drugs they gave us from birth to 10 years old!

9:15 pm

rururocks

yeah but those children were Keith RIchard and Ronnie wood

9:16 pm

Jacula

Sorry for bad spelling. It's due to the super fast mouse this time.

9:16 pm

9:18 pm

lol...yeah I was born in '62 and gramdma gave it to me ever time I so much as sneezed

9:18 pm

Nef

Our dtr. was violently ill, with vomiting and diarrhea and stomach ache. We were trying to get home ASAP and stopped at a small town pharmacy when I couldn't handle it. The pharmacist sold the paragoric to us, no Rx needed. It did help her sleep and the N&V and diarrhea stopped..

9:19 pm

I've managed to chase off Jacula & rururocks, anyone else?

9:28 pm

Nef

I had some hand surgery Nov. 3rd and DH had a cervical fusion of his spine Nov. 26th. I am doing fine; but DH just never follows the usual recovery process.

9:31 pm

Minveryork

Sorry to hear about DH, but glad you are doing ok.Hope that he gets better very soon Nef. Is it because he is not following the doctor's orders, or it just takes him longer to recover.Surgery can be hard to recover from at times

9:33 pm

Nef

Both, Min. His MS probably has something to do with it; but his stubbornness is a big problem too. Safety is a serious issue these days...

9:35 pm

smores

:( sorry to hear Nef

9:37 pm

Nef

Tonight I fixed some supper for him and left him alone for 20 minutes. He is having trouble with his throat and swallowing; so no bread or crackers allowed. While I was gone (I'd had to run to the pharmacy for something), he got up by himself and got some crackers and was eating those when I got back! I could have choked himmyself I was so mad!

9:38 pm

wht

Sounds like the model patient, Nef. :^)

9:39 pm

Minveryork

I get mad at my husband too because he doesn't take care of himself either with his drinking and his smoking. Hubby is also known for not following his doctor's orders too Nef.

9:40 pm

Nef

He just proved AGAIN why I can't leave him alone and to his own devices. (He'd been told both IN the hospital and by the speech therapist yesterday about NO bread, crackers, etc.)

9:40 pm

Nef

wht, if he was my patient at work; I'd get a few hours away from him to recoup!

9:41 pm

Nef

Sorry; that's off my chest now. Change the subject; okay?

9:42 pm

wht

No problem. The chog is a good vent pipe.

9:42 pm

Of course, you should see what we were smoking in the pipe before. :^)

10:40 pm

Nef

10:46 pm

Pinikula

My youngest dau married at the end of September...I think I'm almost fully recovered! LOL

10:46 pm

Nef

Oh. my! I bet it was both fun and a lot of work.

10:46 pm

Pinikula

It was, but well worth it...

10:47 pm

Pinikula

My icon is one from my annual photo shoot with my grandkids...they're gettin' sooooooo big. ;)

10:49 pm

Jillyjill

*sigh* wondering if either of my boys will find their soul partners...

10:49 pm

Nef

They are! I think I remember you had your grandson in camouflage the last time I saw one

10:49 pm

Pinikula

Oh, I'm sur they will, Nef!

10:50 pm

Nef

Jilly, my daughter is now 30 (my baby) and she's not married either. She says she doesn't want kids though...

10:50 pm

Pinikula

He was for awhile, Nef...I dressed him "preppy" today...his dad 'bout had a heart attack!! LOL

10:51 pm

Nef

:-) How old is he now?

10:51 pm

Jillyjill

Don't ya luv upsetting your children!! LOL

10:51 pm

Pinikula

He turned 3 in August, Nef...and I sure do, JJ!!! LOL

10:51 pm

Pinikula

All he could do was shake his head and say the sweater belonged at one of those "holiday sweater parties"...

10:52 pm

Nef

my grandson is now 3 1/2, Pini

10:52 pm

Pinikula

..but it was simply a red cable knit...no other embelishments, etc., over a white turtleneck

10:52 pm

Pinikula

we're neck in neck, Nef! :)

10:52 pm

Nef

BTW, your picture is really nice!!

10:52 pm

Jillyjill

OMG, mkg...I only have 2 so far...but they're great!!!

10:54 pm

Nef

well, Jilly, my dtr is a certified "travel info specialist" for MN tourism; and she is in to roller derby BIG time.

10:54 pm

Nef

From what we are being told; our 1 is all we will ever have.

10:55 pm

Jillyjill

I'd take one...oh well, patience...

10:55 pm

Jillyjill

I think I may have better chances with the younger gay son marrying and adopting...

10:56 pm

Nef

you are young yet, Jilly.

10:57 pm

Jillyjill

Yup, just that I had a taste when the oldest was married and had a step grandson...loved it so much...not so much the wife....

10:57 pm

Nef

our D-I-L is mentally ill; so I hope and pray they never do have more. But I do hope that our dtr. has a child JUST like HER!

10:57 pm

Jillyjill

LOL, that would be my wish for the oldest....

10:58 pm

Jillyjill

actually, I have wished two twin daughters on him!

10:58 pm

Pinikula

oh, you're rather evil, JJ! :)

10:59 pm

Pinikula

My brother has twin girls...and just had another

10:59 pm

Jillyjill

You didn't raise him ;)

10:59 pm

Jillyjill

wow!

10:59 pm

Pinikula

good point, JJ! :)

11:00 pm

Jillyjill

Actually, he is a dear wonderful young man that I love dearly, but he was a terror as a child...I NEVER want to EVER be in a principals office again!

11:00 pm

Pinikula

that's not even his full head count...1 boy, 4 girls...he and his son are definitely out numbered!

11:00 pm

Nef

He sounds like he was as much of a handful as my dtr was, Jilly

11:01 pm

Nef

oh my, Pini. Rather him than us; right?

11:01 pm

Jillyjill

Good heart without a brain...his being likable was his only saving grace

11:01 pm

Pinikula

aint that the truth, Nef!

11:01 pm

Nef

:-)

11:01 pm

Jillyjill

I am sort of glad I had only boys...

11:03 pm

Pinikula

I had 2 girls...and now have a wonderful S-I-L...his family, on the other hand...can't figure out how he's even related to them...he's priceless...they're...well, um..."if you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all"... LOL

11:03 pm

Nef

my son became a handful when he was in ; so at that time my dtr. was a good kid.his late teens

11:03 pm

Pinikula

*er...I HAVE 2 girls

11:04 pm

Nef

(BRB; I need to check on DH)

11:19 pm

Nef

Well, when my son brings the little boy over at 11PM (they live 35 miles across The Cities); I wonder if all is well too

11:19 pm

Pinikula

They did, but were robbed in the game against Stanford :(

11:19 pm

Pinikula

oh my, Nef...didn't know that part...really do hope all is well!

11:21 pm

Nef

(our son isn't saying anything is wrong yet. Durn boys! Too closed-mouthed at times)

11:22 pm

Pinikula

I'm sure he'll come around, Nef...

11:22 pm

Nef

he will; in his own time.

11:23 pm

o-o

How are you doing, Pini?

11:23 pm

Jillyjill

Sorry nef...

11:24 pm

Pinikula

He's kinda gotten' a little on the fat side...

11:25 pm

Pinikula

...he's decided that he doesn't want to go out when the ground is wet!

11:25 pm

o-o

Did not really have a winter last year. This year appears to be more of the same.

11:25 pm

Pinikula

...or when it's raining...apparently he thinks he might melt! LOL

11:25 pm

Pinikula

*knock on wood* BR...hope the weather up there stays managable

11:26 pm

o-o

Cut the food back for awhile and he may change his mind

11:26 pm

Jillyjill

Wow, we are neighbors BR...

11:26 pm

Pinikula

good point, BR...but I'd rather he not eat me instead! LOL

11:26 pm

Pinikula

11:27 pm

Nef

No, Jilly. BR is *my* neighbor! ;-)

11:27 pm

o-o

I think he knows better.

Jillyjill

11:30 pm

Pinikula

...going to go snowmobiling later this month up on the mountain...can't wait

11:30 pm

o-o

No snow here.

11:30 pm

Nef

11:30 pm

Jillyjill

Ahh, Lehr, been through there once, almost south dakota..

11:34 pm

o-o

Yeah, in about a minute you will be out of sight

11:34 pm

Pinikula

...then again...maybe I should run behind...

11:35 pm

o-o

Glad you are doing well, Pini

11:35 pm

Pinikula

11:35 pm

Pinikula

Thx, BR...good to be back :)

11:36 pm

Pinikula

good to see ol' friends!

11:36 pm

Nef

11:36 pm

Jillyjill

Sounds like the dog might be on his own snowmoblile..

11:36 pm

Jillyjill

Haven't seen cosdem around much lately..

11:36 pm

Pinikula

I have to draw the line somewhere, JJ... ;)

11:37 pm

Nef

Didn't he post somewhere he was having computer problems? Or wasthat someone else?

11:37 pm

Jillyjill

LOL...but dogs love rides!!

11:38 pm

Jillyjill

He's been on FB, but it could be on his smart phone..

11:38 pm

Pinikula

that's right, JJ...he can ride...not drive! LOL

11:38 pm

Pinikula

If I let him do that I'm sure he'll want to drive the truck next!

11:39 pm

Nef

There was something on the news recently about dogs being smart enough to drive though

11:39 pm

Pinikula

I'll keep that in mind...I think I'd rather be the one to rule this roost! LOL

11:40 pm

Nef

me too.

11:40 pm

Jillyjill

Dogs probably wouldn't text and drive...

11:41 pm

Pinikula

We can only hope, JJ :)

11:41 pm

Pinikula
