jillibus

Gonna go to bed now -- goodnight all...*poof

1:00 am

Cathyar

how many letters is the z?

1:00 am

jillibus

my monkeys are blind

1:00 am

negativeneil

Oh man I must be out of it ru. I glanced at the chog and thought I saw you saying "origami is my passion". :P Haha, I could just see that. Paper airplanes maybe? I still make those on occasion.

1:01 am

jillibus

6, cathy

1:01 am

negativeneil

Just if I want to fire one at someone here. ;)

1:01 am

1:02 am

negativeneil

Could be flosey.

1:02 am

Cathyar

night night jilli

1:02 am

rururocks

only if you fold in the tent neil

1:02 am

negativeneil

But by "here" I mean this apartment... not Babble. Kind of hard to throw one around in the chog.

1:03 am

rururocks

how's stompy tonight?

1:03 am

negativeneil

Huh. I'm not getting that, ru... but I'm kinda "out of it" right now.

1:03 am

negativeneil

Oh he's actually quiet. But that's how it goes with him... he has spurts where he makes a hell of a lot of noise, in between which there are no signs of life up there.

1:04 am

rururocks

origami.. fold in the tent.. a folding joke

1:04 am

rururocks

maybe he's catatonic

1:04 am

negativeneil

And he usually waits for hours where you're definitely asleep, before making lots of noise.

1:04 am

negativeneil

Yeah.

1:04 am

rururocks

I would literally kill him

1:04 am

negativeneil

Believe me... I'm sorely tempted. :/

1:05 am

negativeneil

Think I'll be paying him a little visit soon.

1:05 am

rururocks

or leave satanic signs scratched in his door

1:06 am

negativeneil

Haha!

1:07 am

rururocks

you could blame the building.. tell him you need sleep and his stomping and loud noises at all hours are disturbing your babble time

1:08 am

negativeneil

Blame the building? Huh.

1:08 am

rururocks

thin walls

1:09 am

rururocks

not enough sounds barriers.

1:09 am

negativeneil

Well, no. If he could walk normally and do his vacuuming and laundry at reasonable hours, there wouldn't be a problem.

1:12 am

negativeneil

Oh man. "Fierce" is nearly in the grid.

1:12 am

rururocks

i tend to be a light sleeper.. i wouldn't put up with it

1:14 am

negativeneil

No. Not going to.

1:17 am

rururocks

good for you

1:22 am

Cathyar

finally...managed to monkey that ze6/33

1:31 am

flosey

that's how I got it, Cathy

1:34 am

rururocks

are you saying banana prices are going up with this grid you two?

1:35 am

Cathyar

it's a horrible word...lol! 3:30 a.m. here...yet I cannot pull away. lol. this is why i cannot come here often. oi vay!

1:36 am

flosey

there's a chap on the island here who is growing bananas - so far, apparently, he has managed to produce very tiny ones

1:40 am

flosey

is the di8 related to the di7 before it?

1:43 am

rururocks

does he dole them out flosey

1:43 am

rururocks

does he dole them out flosey

1:45 am

flosey

lol, he is the most knowledgeable person I know when it comes to gardening - he specializes in unusual, apparently has a very interesting garden

1:46 am

grannyrose

flosey, di8, means a miniature scene...di + either/** + i **, you are + In Charge

1:46 am

rururocks

my neighbors have an interesting garden too.. not sure it's totally legal.. however..lol

1:46 am

flosey

lol, lots of that grown on the Island here

1:48 am

rururocks

so I guess the straits up there are the only thing that's straight?

1:48 am

flosey

once the police flew over a site, went back and got the car, drove back and the guys were still there, harvesting - caught red handed

1:49 am

rururocks

i'm guessing not exactly "red" handed

1:49 am

flosey

ok, more green handed, then, but it is (apparently) quite readily available if you know the people involved

1:50 am

flosey

one young fella was searched but without a warrant so case dismissed!

1:51 am

rururocks

they didn't have to hash it out with him?

1:52 am

flosey

nope

1:53 am

flosey

they're still trying to legalize it

1:53 am

rururocks

that was a joke flosey

1:54 am

flosey

yes, ha ha ha

1:54 am

flosey

it didn't go over my head

2:03 am

grannyrose

sorry to interrupt you both, but flosey did you see my clue at 1:46?

2:05 am

flosey

sorry rose, no, i didn't see it, checking it now

2:06 am

flosey

must have been when I went to the kitchen

2:07 am

grannyrose

had a b**** of a day...on he way to work, yours truly had angina, 2 doses of GTN and arrived at work still in pain. checked into emergency, and spent the day here until 1pm.all okay, no changes in enzymes or EKG.

2:08 am

flosey

thanks Rose, got it, would not have found it - poor monkeys

2:08 am

grannyrose

according to doctors i need to de-stress. lol. this is the only time when i am NOT stressed.

2:09 am

Lizlin

Hey Rose. Glad all's O K. That must've been scary

2:09 am

flosey

and I welcome the interruption to get a word like that one rose

2:09 am

flosey

2:09 am

gapeach

gosh i love you all, was really scary. ruru, angina is when the coronary arteries start to spasm or are partially blocked, and the heart tissue isn't getting enough oxygen.

2:15 am

rururocks

oh wow.. awful

2:15 am

grannyrose

if the medication to stop the spasms, or the actual arteries are not helped by stents to remain patent, death of cardiac tissue follows.

2:16 am

Lizlin

And what are your docs saying?

2:16 am

grannyrose

yeah, mate. consider...my mother has 'silent' heart attacks...she feels no pain, just feels unwell.

2:18 am

flosey

so a person wouldn't have any idea, other than simply not feeling well?

2:18 am

grannyrose

liz, don't need stents, and since it is now 16 months since i smoked a ciggie, and i have lost 35.5kgs, and am maintaining a fat-free diet as best i can, cardiologist is quite optimistic.

2:19 am

Lizlin

That's good. Personal question - don't have to answer. Can you afford to cut down on work to ease stress?

2:20 am

Lizlin

Hey! You could play the stress card to persuade Don to do your kitchen!!!

2:21 am

grannyrose

not yet, sweetie. in the new year, don and i are going to centre link. apparently they have a free financial information service. i have a 'loan' on the house in tecoma where son and his wife live. he is now qualified, and she has found another job. they should be able to afford to pay rent.

2:22 am

Lizlin

Well hope you're taking it easy over the Xmas period.

2:23 am

grannyrose

omg, liz, didn't think about that....

2:23 am

flosey

do you have any family coming for Christmas, rose?

2:24 am

grannyrose

not really, flosey. although don is pushing to go to his sister's for christmas tea....

2:24 am

flosey

well, anything you don't have to prepare, could it be a brief visit?

2:25 am

Lizlin

Tmhis year do what YOU want - you've had a tough time just since I've been in babble land!

2:25 am

grannyrose

she has some very strange friends who she invites to her home for christmas. all very nice, except they are very foul-mouthed, and i don't like christmas day to be spoiled with 4 letter words.

2:27 am

flosey

foul mouths aren't pleasant to deal with

2:28 am

flosey

no place for a Christmas Tea

2:28 am

Lizlin

I agree with flosey. Much too stressful

2:30 am

grannyrose

yeah, besides if don's eldest comes over to spend the day with us, he doesn't like to go there either. so...too bad, so sad. i will have to stay home with him, while don goes over there.* shrug *

2:30 am

Lizlin

Sounds good to me!

2:35 am

Dachef

Christmas Joke NO.754: An elderly gentleman phones his son and says, "Son, me and your ma are getting a divorce. After 50 years of looking at the cow, I've had enough." The son is very taken abackl and asks what on earth is going on, to which the father replies that its true, he's had enough, and its all over. Obviously, the son is rather upset, so he phones his sister and tells her the news. She gets straight on the phone to the father who confirms the story: "yup, its right. I've had enough of the cow, and we're getting divorced." The daughter says "Right, don't be stupid. Don't do anything. Don't see a lawyer, don't file any papers, we're coming to sort this out." The old man puts down the phone, turns to his wife and says "Right, thats sorted. They're both coming home for Christmas, AND they're paying their own air fare."

2:35 am

5:37 am

carleekat

4th i had 2 from many many years ago

5:38 am

lynxxx

so you only have 4 months to go!?

5:38 am

carleekat

ummmm... either 1 more year or 5

5:39 am

lynxxx

really?...thats a big decision. Will money/employment decide for you?

5:40 am

carleekat

whether i get into the fac of ed next year decides it... if not..on to MA/PhD

5:43 am

carleekat

i will get a taste of that shortly...i have independent study this term with my fav prof... 1:1 as an undergrad woohoo!!!! how often does that happen?

5:43 am

lynxxx

good luck then...though sounds like you are really liking the work

5:44 am

carleekat

loving it for the most part..hated epistemology...it became an exercise in endurance... i would have rather an reconciliation with my ex over taking that course again

5:44 am

lynxxx

lol

5:45 am

carleekat

its horrid... and i told the prof that too... but getting into philosophy and especially applying events of today to the theories of the ancients and medievals...great great fun..love writing the papers

5:48 am

carleekat

how about you..how are things with you lynxxx?

5:51 am

lynxxx

pretty good...got involved with a local community group this year which is making me feel either really useful and satisfied - or otherwise pretty angry and frustrated. I think I will finish a project I am doing for it and then get out - maybe another 6 months

5:52 am

carleekat

yea..i got that way a while ago with girl guides..i stepped out of the politics.... made it much more enjoyable

5:56 am

lynxxx

unfortunately a really small group - and not big-noting myself but I think if I opted out it would probably fold. (so would be nice to actually achieve something positive for the local area before I give it up. We are getting very well known and lots of publicity but....

5:56 am

lynxxx

anyhow - how are your kids?

5:57 am

carleekat

ahh... sounds intriguing

5:58 am

carleekat

kids are good... all things are actually good...i started to see someone too... which is nice....is good..he lives 150 mi away which means when we are together its really nice....but we are not joined at the hip which is nice too...

5:59 am

lynxxx

sounds 'nice' lol.

5:59 am

lynxxx

sounds like your newish car must still be clocking up the miles..is there anywhere you go that isn't a hundred miles away

6:01 am

not much - he lost some weight over the summer but there wasn't anything particular wrong that the vet could find, she had us switch him to wet food for kidney health and because he's not very into food of any kind, it's a lot of effort to get him to eat as much as he should

Well at least the world is going to end tomorrow, it won't be a problem.

10:02 am

jmcnrick

glad you got the paycheck early. . . just don't spend it all in one place! ;-)

10:03 am

jmcnrick

i have been busy which makes me wonder how much time was lost while i had carbon monoxide poisoning. . . i am getting a good bit do** these days

10:03 am

sprite

oh, no we won't. Just the necessary things. And, I hope, a little bit extra for Christmas and for savings :)

10:03 am

jmcnrick

glad to hear about the savings part. . .so many people forget that part especially when the are living on little

10:03 am

sprite

oh my, jmc... that is awful. Are you totally better now?

10:04 am

sprite

yes, saving is very important. I had to learn that myself, as well.

10:04 am

jmcnrick

i have always had an automatic $10 per month taken out of my account even when i was broke because you rarely miss $10 and it is there when you have a sudden emergency

10:05 am

sprite

so very true.

10:05 am

jmcnrick

yes. . .my cat sarted acting weird and that made me start to look around and realize there might be a problem with my gas furnace . . . the heating guy came and turned it off immediately saying that i had the most dangerous situation he had ever seen in 40 years

10:06 am

jmcnrick

so he fixed it and my cat is getting progressively less weird. . .i think she is just afraid now rather than harmed. . .and one good thing came out of it. . .

10:06 am

sprite

jmc, that is scary! Am happy the cat warned you early... is the cat ok too?

10:07 am

jmcnrick

she now uses a litter box for the first time in 15 years haliluya!

10:07 am

sprite

yay :)

10:08 am

sprite

it is so dangerous and so very fast, carbon mono poisoning.

10:08 am

jmcnrick

well i am blue some much less now that i have to think and realize how much that was effecting me this wintere and last. . . so i am glad i am getting more do** and it is not just that i am old and useless ;-)

10:09 am

jmcnrick

well that is the odd thing is that i probably had a low level poisoning for winter last year and the first of this year. . .but when it got bad enough for my cat to notice was when i figured it out

10:09 am

sprite

*hugs jmc*
You are young, incredibly useful and, more importantly, much much loved. Glad you are safe now.

10:10 am

jmcnrick

[blush] i meant that as a joke! but i am feeling much better about things!

10:10 am

jmcnrick

so are you all ready for a merry christmas? do you have stockings and a tree there?

10:10 am

sprite

am really happy to hear that!

10:12 am

Snitkina

z anybody?

10:12 am

sprite

having a tree is very common here, stockings are less so. Ornaments, lights especially, indoors and outdoors. Some people celebrate with presents, others have the presents with Sinterklaas. Dinner with family and/or friends is also very common.

10:12 am

10:13 am

but we personally are not having a tree this year. We do have a lot of candles. No presents, but we are gonna cook with our family, my girl and me probably an entree and a sidedish, my husband and son the main dish and dessert. And we will have Christmas breakfast in a festive way too.

10:14 am

you don't have Sinterklaas, jmc. That is the perfect moment for gifting. It is more a fun celebration. For me, Christmas is quieter, more inward-looking.

nice. . . of course he morphed into our santa claus. . .

10:19 am

sprite

it is celebrated either with little children, and lots of (small) gifts, or with teens and adults (who don't believe in Sinterklaas anymore) and then the fun is in making silly poems and 'surprises' which means a fun package. Like building a TV from boxes and carton and hiding a remote inside. Etc etc.

10:19 am

jmcnrick

i like your version better i think. . . but when i was a kid i was very excited about Mother and Daddy leaving the front door unlocked for Santa

10:19 am

Snitkina

thanks

10:20 am

jmcnrick

sounds lovely sprite

10:20 am

yeah we have that excitement with Sinterklaas, indeed. Zwarte Piet, Sint's helper, throws sweets inside the houses and leaves a bag with presents.

10:20 am

my biggest problem with christmas is the my sister's birthday is on winter soltice so i have to be doublely creative. . .

10:22 am

that is a beautiful gift!

10:23 am

jmcnrick

i useally find her birthday present in the summer so it has nothing to do with christmas. . . but this year i gots nothing

10:23 am

so you are looking for an idea?

10:23 am

jmcnrick

i will give some of the other squares to my two other sisters and niece and nephews and the boy

10:24 am

jmcnrick

haha always sprite i only have until saturday (we are celebrating a day late so her daughter can be there)

10:24 am

sprite

sounds wonderful. I would love a gift like that myself, so I think they will be very happy with it.

10:25 am

sprite

ok, tell me what does she like and how is your relation?

10:25 am

jmcnrick

i mean to write a note about the squares for them to put on the back of the frame so my grandmother will get her credit. . . i suspect she made it for my mother's wedding

10:25 am

sprite

a great family story included... lovely gifts!

10:26 am

we are very close. . . she is lives near me in DC (the other two still live in TX) and she has been taking an audobon class, she likes good food, she gardens, she reads (very differnent books than i) she cooks, she was a journalist for 35+ years

10:27 am

hi peri

10:27 am

jmcnrick

i think the story is the real gift

10:27 am

periwinkle

*waves* back to jmc

10:28 am

sprite

how about an ornate box or little chest or case, filled with small packages containing a book voucher, a small dinner voucher, a card with a kiss on it, a voucher for a big hug, etc?

10:28 am

jmcnrick

Many years ago a very shy young man, too shy to share what was in his heart, gave a beautiful woman named Guinevere three red roses to propose to her. All during their lives together, whenever he wanted to express his joy or his contrition, he gave Guinevere three red roses. A few weeks after his death at a ripe old age, she came to the Friends Meeting of Washington, to Rick and my wedding. She took us aside and told us her story and gave us a beautiful vase and three red roses.
All during our married life, when some amazing or something terrible would happen, we would give each other three red roses. Sometimes Rick would bring me roses home when we were the most mad at each other! Neither one of us was shy, but the roses became a statement of our enduringâ€”even during the hard timesâ€”love.

I give to you the roses and the story.

As Rick would say -- I hope your marriage is at least half as good as ours because then it will be very good indeed.

Love and best wishes,

10:29 am

periwinkle

lovely story, jmc

10:29 am

sprite

awwwww... jmc, that really touches my heart.

10:30 am

jmcnrick

an ornate box sounds like a great idea! I think not the kiss and hug. . . she is more huggy than i am but as you know that is not saying much

10:30 am

jmcnrick

ty peri it still brings tears to my eyes . . .

10:30 am

sprite

well... that would make such a voucher a special treat indeed... to be used when she is in need of one :)

10:31 am

jmcnrick

haha i will consider the voucher. . . maybe at least one for the next book i read that i think she would like

10:31 am

sprite

anyway, lots of good things to put in an ornate box. And they don't have to be expensive, often the small things work wonders.

10:32 am

sprite

or a voucher to get together and have a lovely drink on a terrace some day?

10:32 am

jmcnrick

yes i am giving everyone a tiny jar of sea salt with herbes du provance that i made up since they are the trendy (and expensive) things at the food stores

10:33 am

I am always grateful no matter how small the gift. be it handmade or storebought. It makes me happy just to know that someone thought enough to give me something.

10:34 am

periwinkle

but I have known others who did not appreciate handmade gifts :( I think handmade gifts are the best since they are made with love

10:34 am

peri, that is so very true! I am the same. I really treasure the gifts I get. Your little booklet is always on my desk :)

the way you make sandcaste candles is you put wet sand in a box and then put the form in the wet sand (i usasually used a bowl) and then you remove the form and fpour in the wax. . . usually about a third of the mold at a time with different colors let it set then the next third and the other colors oftern drip down the sides. . .it make a beautiful candle. . .

10:43 am

I'm still here and it's getting late! uh oh

11:48 am

rubyfoo

hi firefly, are we alone?

11:49 am

rubyfoo

do you have stats for the 10? I have no idea

11:49 am

mael

hi ruby

11:49 am

mael

:)

11:50 am

rubyfoo

hello mael, how are you?

11:50 am

MollyL

cr10/77

11:50 am

rubyfoo

molly, I was just thinking bout you! I made my all-time-best lasagna for dinner but had to substitute mascarpone for ricotta. It still worked

11:51 am

mael

i'm good, how are you?

11:51 am

mkg

hi all. clue for that 10 please.

11:51 am

MollyL

Sounds good Ruby. My clan doesn't like ricotta so I don't put it in my lasagna.

11:51 am

rubyfoo

the mascarpone totally disappeared

11:51 am

mael

ricotta does not belong in lasagna

11:51 am

mael

:)

11:52 am

mkg

clue for cr 10 please.

11:52 am

rubyfoo

and the sausage was Italian-American, brought here by my DIL from California. It's impossible to find those here

11:52 am

rubyfoo

and they make awful lasagna using bechamel sauce

11:52 am

MollyL

Nice treat for you.

11:53 am

mael

heresy!

11:53 am

rubyfoo

nice treat for husband!

11:53 am

rubyfoo

this has to be the worst food region in France

11:53 am

mael

bechamel sauce is the only sauce for lasagna

11:54 am

mael

bechamel and meat sauce :)

11:54 am

gwenski

cr10 - looks like an ingredient I'd read on a protein powder or supplement of some kind.

11:54 am

rubyfoo

I make a spicy tomato sauce with meat and then layer mozzarella, parmesan and (mascarpone). It was wonderful

11:55 am

mael

add a chemical ending to the cr7

11:55 am

rubyfoo

got it! ty mael

11:55 am

mael

I've converted my inlaws to proper italian lasagna ;)

11:56 am

mael

yw!

11:56 am

rubyfoo

I imagine that every family has its own lasagna recipe and my mother learned hers from the local Neapolitans

11:56 am

mael

yeah, I make the classic bolognese lasagna

11:56 am

MollyL

I prefer cheese, not cheese sauce in my lasagna.

11:57 am

rubyfoo

3 cheeses, molly

11:57 am

mael

yeah, a nice sprinkling of parmesan

11:57 am

rubyfoo

do you add sausage, mael?

11:57 am

MollyL

I use two, mozzerlla and Parmesan. And lots of Italian sausage.

11:57 am

mael

no, I make meat sauce. Beef and pork, usually

11:58 am

mael

and pancetta if I have any

11:58 am

rubyfoo

the sausage makes the difference but you can't get it here. When DIL brings it, she buys huge amounts, freezes them and has a special carryon case

11:59 am

rubyfoo

they probably have pancetta here, but I'm not sure what it is

11:59 am

rubyfoo

phantom: zarf

11:59 am

mael

it's a cured bacon-like product

11:59 am

rubyfoo

and my "trick" for the sauce is Good Seasons Italian dressing mix

12:00 pm

mael

I sautee it with my onions. celery, and carrot dice to start the sauce

12:00 pm

MollyL

I love that stuff. I make our dressing with it and it's so much better than the bottled kind.

12:00 pm

mkg

still dont have the cr 10. darn. cant find the seven

12:00 pm

rubyfoo

and it makes a zippy tomato sauce and/or meat loaf

12:01 pm

rubyfoo

cr7 sounds like inventing somethingf and then you add on and on

12:01 pm

rubyfoo

end it with a number

12:02 pm

sammysmom

Not today but she said yesterday that she'd be back at flip, so wouldn't expect to hear yet.

9:51 pm

Oh, right.

9:51 pm

gapeach

9:51 pm

gapeach

9:54 pm

Lizlin

it's weird I know - and the world's still in existence here! lol!

10:12 pm

gapeach

How about that? I have some friends who believe this stuff......but they are friends and so it goes.

10:14 pm

Lizlin

I have some friends who also are a bit freaked by it all - even though they claim they're not! Hard to believe that some people have evacuated their homes or even contemplated worse because of this!

10:15 pm

gapeach

The media latches onto anything that will sell.

10:18 pm

Lizlin

But it's the gullible ones who get caught up by it!

10:19 pm

gapeach

Indeed.

stidmama

hey all, would like NBT today -- Z please?

10:40 pm

nrkii

z + a type of kitchen that has a table and chairs

10:41 pm

nrkii

or z + the opposite of take-out at a restaurant

10:47 pm

stidmama

thanks nrk

10:47 pm

stidmama

hope you are well?

10:48 pm

nrkii

Eh. Just called the gas company because of a slight smell of gas, and it's almost midnight. So now I'm stuck waiting up for their technician. I know it's nothing, and I should have waited till morning. This has happened before. UGH.

10:49 pm

stidmama

oh gee. What do you think it is, if it happened before? a breeze down the ventilation?

10:50 pm

nrkii

not sure, but whenever it happens it seems to go away quickly

10:50 pm

stidmama

do you have a CO detector? or two? One for each floor...

10:50 pm

nrkii

I'm traveling for the holidays tomorrow, and I didn't want to leave it unchecked. Especialy because I'm in a duplex.

10:51 pm

stidmama

good idea

10:51 pm

nrkii

I have 2, but CO detectors don't detect gas. Or at least not always.

10:51 pm

stidmama

that's true.

10:52 pm

stidmama

My grandmother's home in L.A. always smelled of the methane, just slightly. Old home, pilot lights and such. Ours smells a bit occasionally of propane, but our appliances all have electric ignition so no pilot lights to release gas.

10:53 pm

nrkii

my stove is 100 years old, so I have to light it... but the smell was not coming from the kitchen. It was in the living room, which is above the furnace and hot water heater.

10:53 pm

stidmama

usually it's because someone leaned briefly against the stove and moved one of the dials a little.

10:54 pm

stidmama

always best to check it out if it's noticeable.

10:54 pm

stidmama

Loved the funny holiday card you posted on fb with the zombie dolls

10:54 pm

thanks :)
