1:43 am
flosey
hi sandyloo, yes a long, long time
1:43 am
flosey
that is what one daughter calls my daughter Sandra Louise
1:43 am
Glantarell
gosh, all those Su words and I can't find a single one - why is sunbed invalid, I wonder?
1:44 am
sandyloo
I have been distracted from babble for a long time we have shifted and have brought a farm in margaret river
1:44 am
flosey
8 of them start with su* (as below)
1:44 am
sandyloo
I see new faces here and stilll lots of old ones which is great
1:45 am
flosey
wow, that is quite an undertaking
1:45 am
sandyloo
hi glantarell
1:45 am
flosey
is it a large farm? do you have animals?
1:45 am
Glantarell
hi sandy
1:45 am
Glantarell
where in australia?
1:45 am
sandyloo
the farm is definitely an undertaking and has no buildings so we are in the process of earthworks\
1:46 am
flosey
preparing garden for vegies etc
1:46 am
sandyloo
yes glant it is in western australia and is in our beautiful wine district
1:46 am
flosey
oh, planting grapes?
1:47 am
Glantarell
i visited freemantle & perth once, nicest city in australia of the ones i visited
1:47 am
sandyloo
Flo that is one of our projects to get a vege garden and an orchard going
1:47 am
sandyloo
no grapes tho , they are too much work
1:47 am
flosey
great, hard work but nothing like a meal freshly picked
1:48 am
sandyloo
Glad you liked it here Glantarell , I do like Sydney and I also like tasmania and queensland
1:49 am
sandyloo
it looks like a quarry at the moment with all the dirt they are shifting around
1:49 am
flosey
hubby retired and became a farmer - have an old orchard and he has also planted a lot more
1:49 am
sandyloo
I think growing edibles is very rewarding
1:50 am
flosey
indeed it is sandy, just read your bio, lots of hard word but you're still young enough to enjoy it
1:50 am
flosey
do you ride the horses?
1:51 am
sandyloo
LOL I feel so old lately - I have to go and try to trim my daughter's horse this afternoon = HA I am sooooo old -I find that really hard as I am definitely no farrier
1:52 am
sandyloo
Yes flo I do ride but the ground gets further away each year - do you have a few acres?
1:52 am
Glantarell
down to 85, and have to get ready for my course, see you later
1:52 am
flosey

1:53 am
sandyloo
Ihave 162 left - I definitely am rusty
1:55 am
flosey
we have about 12 acres here - about 40 up the mountain but no buildings, it's just part of his Dad's old homestead
1:55 am
sandyloo
flo what is the weather like in Canada?
1:55 am
sandyloo
We have 66 here
1:56 am
flosey
all depends on where you are - we've had a very mild winter here on the lower west coast, parts of Ontario have had heavy snow, I hear - our 2 sons are still in Ontario
1:57 am
sandyloo
I believe there is a big storm coming to new york - I dream of snow it is hot here
1:57 am
flosey
only had a smattering of snow that didn't last
1:57 am
flosey
yes, that's probably the snow Toronto and area are getting
1:58 am
sandyloo
Of course we never have any snow here but we do get some good storms as winter approaches
1:58 am
Jivingjenny0

2:01 am
sandyloo

2:02 am
Lizlin
Not as hot as it was - we lost power here for 2 days after ex cyclone Oswald passed through.
2:02 am
Lizlin
Around 27 c today
2:03 am
Lizlin
It's cooled down since then
2:03 am
sandyloo
I live in Margaret River so it is cooler than Perth - it was about 31 today
2:03 am
sandyloo
Perth is to get 41 tomorrow so they say
2:03 am
Lizlin
Some great wines from there
2:04 am
sandyloo

2:04 am
Lizlin
Good clue for the 9 ty

2:05 am
sandyloo

2:06 am
Lizlin
London - and ty
2:07 am
sandyloo
I have been to London my daughter got married to a Pom in Hertfordshire last October and we had a big wedding there
2:07 am
Lizlin
Lived near Barnet which is in Hertfordshire.
2:07 am
sandyloo
I love England it is so picturesque and the weather is great - cool and rainy!
2:08 am
sandyloo
The wedding was at a place called Leez Priory
2:08 am
Lizlin
Have to say I don't miss the weather but I do miss friends and family.
2:08 am
Lizlin
Not a place I know!
2:09 am
sandyloo
My daughter and her husband live here so that's why we had the wedding over there - but I would miss my family too
2:10 am
Lizlin
My hubby's an Aussie and it was the right time for us to make the move. No regrets!
2:11 am
sandyloo
I'm glad for you, Aus is great too and I love Queensland - my sister in law lives in Malaney
2:12 am
Lizlin

Haz1558
sandyloo - are you still here? It's nice to see you again, it's been a long time.
2:29 am
sandyloo
Hi haz, great to see you too!! so nice that there are still some oldies here
2:29 am
sandyloo
I have been busy and we have shifted to a farm in margaret river
2:29 am
Haz1558
Not so much of the old! Yes, still some of us around. When was the last time you babbled?
2:31 am
sandyloo
Not for ages!! I was wasting toomuch time but now I will have a bit more time so I decided to reenter the world of cyber space and besides , I missed you all
2:31 am
Haz1558
How's your daughter? She was having problems with her shoulder.
2:32 am
sandyloo
she still is Haz, she has had a fusion done and it is marginally better - she is not going up tot he hospital with a dislocation allthetime- she still says it is painful but not so much i'm sure
2:33 am
sandyloo
Nice of you to remember
2:33 am
Haz1558
I'm glad some progress has been made even if it's not perfect.
2:33 am
Haz1558
I remember your fights with the rooster as well!
2:34 am
sandyloo
I think shoulder joints are the most difficult to repair and we dont have any roosters at the moment because we have only moved to this farm not long ago and are in the processes of building everything
2:35 am
sandyloo
those roosters were the pits
2:35 am
Haz1558
Nobody could accuse you of doing things the easy way, that's for sure. Have you a timeframe for the place being habitable?
2:37 am
sandyloo
LOL we are building , first a shed, then two chalets and then much later down the track a big house- however the chalets will be ready this year and hopefully the shed will be done by march
2:38 am
sandyloo
our youngest daughter and her new husband have gone halves in the property- it is 66 acres and so there is a lot of work to be done
2:38 am
sandyloo
She got married in England last year and we all went over for a gorgeous wedding
2:39 am
Haz1558
I hope all goes smoothly but from what I've seen of 'Grand Designs' building is always a bit of a lottery. I suppose it adds to the excitement.
2:39 am
Haz1558
Goodness, that's a long trip for a wedding but I'm sure it was worth it!
2:39 am
Haz1558
We had a daughter married in August 2011 but it was just up the road.
2:40 am
sandyloo
At the moment it is like a quarry while they move the earth around, - they are living here so we decided to have the wedding there and it was fantastic
2:40 am
sandyloo
it was at Leez Priory in Hertfordshire you can google it
2:40 am
Haz1558
Googling....
2:41 am
sandyloo
They had the works- fireworks and everything
2:41 am
Haz1558
It's GORGEOUS!
2:42 am
sandyloo
It was amazing! a 14th century building and they did a great job of the wedding with fantastic food - it was truly amazing
2:43 am
Haz1558
I'm glad that it was such a good experience for you - very happy memories, I'm sure.
2:44 am
sandyloo
It was greatand allthe kids got to go to england and we also went to
2:44 am
sandyloo
Spainfor a week
2:45 am
Haz1558
Had you been to Europe before?
2:46 am
sandyloo
Yes, we went to England in 2011 (lots of travel in the last 2 years) we drove to Scotland Wales and all around England it was great! I love haggis and black pudding
2:46 am
sandyloo
We also went to Paris for a few days
2:47 am
sandyloo
Now of course we are poverty stricken
2:47 am
Haz1558
Travelling isn't cheap, that's for sure.
2:48 am
sandyloo
Neither are weddings
2:48 am
Haz1558
Did you make it to Edinburgh? I have a soft spot for it.
2:49 am
sandyloo
Yes we loved Edinburgh and we stayed in a beautiful B&B there- I loved the hillyness of it (if there is such a word!
2:50 am
sandyloo
I loved everywhere and I loved the weather- we were there in May and it was just like our winter
2:50 am
Haz1558
I was at university in Edinburgh and met my husband there, but even apart from that it's just a beautiful city.
2:50 am
sandyloo
It sure is! There is a lot of beauty in the whole of the UK
2:51 am
Haz1558
Yes, May can often be better than later on in our summer.
2:51 am
Haz1558
Well, you'll know that there's even more to explore when you come again.
2:52 am
sandyloo
I just loved the whole trip - I loved the history of the place- We would never run out of places to see
2:53 am
Haz1558
I think we take an awful lot for granted and it's only when visitors come that you realise just how beautiful and historic it is.
2:54 am
sarah6girls
morning :)
2:54 am
Haz1558
Good morning, sarah.
2:54 am
sandyloo
Australia is lovely but it does not have the history- it made me feel how young our country is. hi sarah
2:55 am
Haz1558
sandyloo, I don't know if you've kept in touch with babblers by e-mail? I'm wondering if you knew that FMitch is no longer with us.
2:56 am
sandyloo
What do you mean? I don't know about this
2:57 am
Haz1558
FMitch was very ill and died in November 2011.
2:57 am
sandyloo
Oh that is soo sad, how old was she? That is really sad.
2:58 am
Haz1558
She was 52 when she died. She needed a liver transplant but died before it could happen. It was terribly sad and I miss her so much as we were in contact by e-mail a lot and then by phone when she was in hospital.
3:00 am
sandyloo
I remember her well of course - That is so terrible- it is sad that people don't donate their organs more- I always tell my kids that I want to donate no matter how sad they are! 52 is way too young!
3:02 am
sandyloo
Last I was here was about the time when we were sending the chicken soup to the girl who lost her husband and about the time of the scandalous JC
3:03 am
Haz1558
He continues to cause waves every now and again, even quite recently. Or maybe I should say that waves are caused on his behalf.
3:04 am
Haz1558
You've got a bit of catching up to do!
3:04 am
sandyloo
I must say that all scandal aside, I enjoyed the banter that went on in the chat and I will have some catching up to do
3:05 am
Haz1558
To be honest, there's a lot less banter than there used to be. Chat just isn't the same.
3:05 am
Jacula
Morning all. Welcome back sandy.
3:06 am
Haz1558
Look! There's Jacula - good morning!
3:06 am
sandyloo
Hi Jac! So many of you oldies still here - Oldies but goldies!
3:07 am
Haz1558
Can I excuse myself and head off? I've got to get ready to go out and the way I look just now won't cut it.
3:07 am
Jacula
Morning. I saw you chatting and thought I'd say hello. As Haz said, chat isn't quite the same but many of us keep in touch off the chog.
3:07 am
sandyloo
Lovely to chat Haz - will see you again no doubt
3:07 am
Jacula
See you later Haz. I'm sure you won't need to gild the lily much. x
3:08 am
Haz1558
And here's peri. I'll see you again, sandyloo. Bye for now. (I'll not do the full Barbara Cartland look this morning)
3:08 am
sandyloo
Jac, I am glad to see you all again- Hi Peri
3:08 am
Jacula
Lol at Haz and Cartland look. :-)
3:10 am
Jacula
Sandy - I'm glad your travels went well. I'm afraid I'm going to have to head off now, too. Need to get my shopping list done and go to shops before the snow that's falling causes road chaos and panic buying. :-)

Summer time is nice over here...winter..i wouldn't bother..as it is seasonal..most things close down.
6:53 am
sandyloo
summer is hot here but winter has a lot of charm! that's what i think anyway
6:54 am
sandyloo
I love the climate in England but I have never lived there and never experienced the snow
6:56 am
zoozzoom
Snow is nice to look at..even be in for a short while..but for me the novelty soon wears off..lol
6:57 am
sandyloo
and believe me zooz , the novelty of sunshine soon wears off when it is 42degrees c
6:58 am
sandyloo
but Aus is a lovely place to live - great food and great beaches but Enlgland is beautiful too
6:58 am
zoozzoom
Yes i can imagine it does..especially if you cannot cool down.
6:59 am
sandyloo
that is for sure, you can run naked around the paddock but you will still never be cool - you can always put on extra clothes and be warm!!
6:59 am
hurshy
ahhh, nothing like babble with tons of snow
7:00 am
sandyloo
hello hurshy
7:01 am
zoozzoom
We have a programme on t.v called something like 'life downunder' where Brits can try out for a week in Australia to see if they would like to pack up and move for good...the places always look so nice.
7:01 am
zoozzoom
Hello, Hurshy.
7:01 am
hurshy
sounds like an unfair test if they put them somewhere nicer than they could actually afford :)
7:02 am
sandyloo
Zooz Aus is fabulous but then again we travelled all over england and it was fabulous as well
7:02 am
zoozzoom
Thats the thing.they try out jobs similar to what they have here...work out the cost of living and so on.
7:02 am
sandyloo
it was so green and picturesque
7:02 am
hurshy
ah well that's ok then
7:03 am
hurshy

Hello, Medusa.
7:08 am
hurshy
oh it's hard to tell since the wind has blown and drifted it
7:09 am
rubyfoo
we had serious snow this week, the most we've had in years, the kind that is wet and covers the trees but is very pretty. Unfortunately, the tulips are up underneath all that so we'll see if damage was done
7:09 am
hurshy

7:09 am
zoozzoom

scotland but only for a few minutes
7:10 am
rubyfoo
and staying in the house in front of the fire is always a great option
7:10 am
MollyL
I saw some photographs of bad highway pile ups in Massachusetts. Why people feel the need to go out driving in a blizzard, I do not know.
7:10 am
hurshy
well molly they might be nurses and people who are told to come to work no matter what?
7:11 am
sandyloo
They are saying here on the news that New York is in for a bad time
7:11 am
zoozzoom
Scotland can see large amounts of snow..but normally the south of England sees no where near as much.
7:11 am
rubyfoo
I had better call my sister in NY

7:18 am
hurshy

7:18 am
sandyloo
the black pudding in scotland tasted different and much better than in england- I still liked the food had in England tho
7:19 am
zoozzoom
I do not like black pudding myself.
7:19 am
sandyloo
omg Ruby how did that happen, tho I know that you can develop allergies at any age - let's hope you don't develop an allergy to the Tour
7:19 am
hurshy
sandy is there anything you DON'T like?
7:20 am
rubyfoo
since we moved here, I've developed 4 new allergies, all to foods and very serious and scary. Must be the stress of retirement LOL
7:20 am
sandyloo
Yes I hate crickets - I have a great aversion to mud also
7:20 am
rubyfoo
one of these years, Sandy is coming to France to watch the Tour with me. This year, it comes through my village
7:20 am
hurshy
crickets and mud, ok.
7:21 am
hurshy
a bawn is totally a thing. it is a protective wall/fence.
7:22 am
sandyloo

7:23 am
rubyfoo

Ruby there are health professionals who believe that emotional blockages that need to be treated can cause food allergens.
7:26 am
rubyfoo

7:26 am
rubyfoo
I'm sure stress doesn't help
7:26 am
MollyL
Sorry, allergies.
7:27 am
hurshy
mind, body, body, mind. *they shake hands*
7:27 am
sandyloo
stress does not help Ruby and the mind does play a big part no doubt
7:27 am
MollyL
That's pretty much it Hursh. And many people don't understand the correlation.
7:28 am
rubyfoo
I never had an allergy until I divorced my first husband
7:28 am
hurshy

12:09 pm
Anniebrook
bichon, wow, 30 inches. We got about 10 inches but the wind is fierce. I am going to look at my car later and see if it can be dug out today. I doubt it, the wind is awful. I understand Gov. Molloy closed all the roads. Do you still have power?
12:09 pm
bichon
Molly, I understand what you mean, but won't take the word. I must have a misspelling
12:10 pm

yeah--they said that it was snowing so fast they had to call in the snow plows as they couldn't see
12:27 pm
Natasha
none of our streets are plowed
12:27 pm

That is one intense snow storm. If they had to name it (and I think it's very dumb that they did) Nemo is too wimpy.

I never heard of naming snowstorms before
12:29 pm

It's some dumbass thing they just dreamed up Ruby.
12:29 pm
Natasha
it seems to be the weather channel, which makes money off they hype.
12:29 pm
medusa
not getting the clue! lol
12:29 pm
bichon
It's a new thing ruby. Used to be hurricanes were given female names because they were unpredictable. We've come a long way
12:30 pm
MollyL
Oh, the weather channel. That figures.
12:30 pm
rubyfoo
WAS THAT THE REASON (SHOUTING ON PURPOSE!)
12:30 pm

LOL, yep Ruby it was.
12:30 pm

12:30 pm

nemo sounds like a cartoon.. captain nemo.. should have named it" one dam strong storm "
12:30 pm
medusa
got it at last. thanks
12:31 pm
rubyfoo
I never knew that and am horrified
12:31 pm
MollyL
But now we are politically correct and name our hurricanes with male and female names. *Snickers*
12:31 pm
bichon
Names like Nemo. Big advancement
12:31 pm
Natasha
the National Weather Service does name hurricanes and I think they may have given this storm a name when it officially became a blizzard
12:32 pm
cybernan
nemesis would have been better!
12:32 pm

for sure nan!

12:44 pm

i did more than that apparently molly.my dad use to play and my brother and i would go in after each match and get a shower with my dad as we would play our own rugby game and get really muddy and my mam always cooked the food for after the matches.anyway, apparently one day some of the men were lined up and had one leg up on the bench drying themselves and i went along pulling there willies and i got banned and my dad wasn't happy as he had to wait until all the men had had a shower before he could go in with me and my brother.i always said to my dad when i got older if i had have been banned doing it...and he said probably not! typical man!!

12:57 pm

Oh my God, in the context of this conversation...spell out spaghetti bolognese.
12:58 pm

yeah.. I was wondering what a spag boll was
12:58 pm
rubyfoo
years ago, during a beef boycott, I cooked horsemeat. It was very orange, but tasted OK
12:58 pm
Soodle
Bwah ha ha!!!
12:59 pm
sciencegeek
was beginning to wonder if Spag Boll was a relative of Hagis
12:59 pm
lilliann
am off to reheat the horse meat as i made it last night.biab.the french have been eating horse for years it comes from all the horses left by the british in ww1.
12:59 pm

Theres a huge scandal this side of the world. Horesmeat has been found in foodstuffs purporting to be beef.

1:02 pm
lilliann
i don't see why there is such a big thing about it, as we eat cows and other animals and i know they are saying that horses get given a drug which can cause cancer to us but it is also said that cows milk also causes breast cancer,so do we stop eating meat altogether?
1:03 pm
medusa

Yes, and just the cheaper types. Oddly enough the first lot came from Ireland and the second lot from France - if we lived in France it would only be the BEST that had horsemeat

8:25 pm
wht
ruru, Molly named me King of Babble one day in which I managed to get nbt and fireworks on the same word.
8:26 pm
MollyL
I was thinking Duke Of Pundom, Ru.
8:26 pm
rururocks
ah... that makes sense wht
8:26 pm
wht
The weather is cold and clear, now. But we had almost two feet of snow overnight last night.
8:26 pm
bichon
We had 30" here in CT. Road still not plowed
8:27 pm
wht
Ruru is clearly Duke of Pundom.
8:27 pm
MollyL
Sorry, but Archbishop Of Crabbytown is already taken.
8:27 pm
rururocks
guess that's better than Duke of Pudnom
8:27 pm

Or maybe that should be Duke of Pundomonium

We spent almost 5 hours shovelling today and we still have more to do.

We have a snow blower that we share with 5 other households.
8:30 pm
bichon
We do not have a snow blower.
8:30 pm
bichon
pertaining to the nose syb
8:30 pm
wht
And a snow blower doesn't help with walks with steps on them, and things like that.
8:30 pm
MollyL
What a good idea, co-oping the snow blower.
8:31 pm
bichon
And it doesn't work on all types of snow, like hard icy stuf
8:31 pm
wht
The place where the snow blower is most useful is getting through the piles left by the snowplows.
8:32 pm
bichon
Hoping someone with a snow blower takes pity on us
8:33 pm
wht
A number of years ago our neighbor, who is now 95 said that he would buy us a snowblower if we would clean his driveway. We said now, but that we would split the cost of the snow blower and clean his driveway.
8:33 pm
wht
We mentioned this to a neighbor and they said they wanted in on the deal and by the time we were done, we had 6 familys involved.
8:35 pm

can't you just have Marion Berry come over.. or Keith RIchards?

I would be whipped after five hours of shoveling snow.

All of those people are under 14
8:37 pm

Exhausted, spent, wiped out, tired.
8:37 pm
wht
We got a robo-call from the town. They said that all the streets are passable but starting tomorrow morning they are going to start widening the streets.
8:38 pm
MollyL
"Passable" is a relative term in two feet of snow.
8:38 pm
bichon
We have had no plowage at all.
8:38 pm
wht
This is good. Our street is cleared only wide enough for one car to pass. I think I shovelled 10 feet from the street before I hit the driveway.
8:38 pm

I have made a new word: nublet. However, enable doesn't care to accept it. bummer.

Of course, where would we go. But, I doubt that emergency vehicles could get in
8:39 pm

I like it Champ.

what would nublet mean?
8:39 pm

Central CT. Some towns have plowed, some not.

Late this afternoon a couple of cars came down our street, so we figured the travel ban had been lifted.
8:40 pm
wht
They showed Milford in the news tonight. It had 38 inches. Did you have that much as well?
8:41 pm
ChampFit
I think it's a cross between a niblet and a nub, so maybe nugget-like?
8:41 pm
Dorens
wht, my sister in arlington hasn't answered her phone. Think i can assume she's still alive? how much did you have?
8:41 pm
MollyL
Not sure Ru. But once in college, my roommate was reading to me from a romance novel (and laughing her ass off) and lost it when she came to the part about "her tense nubbin".
8:41 pm
ChampFit
But smaller, definitely smaller.
8:41 pm
bichon
We had at least 30" I used a yardstick to measure. Of course the drifting against our garage door was much higher than that.
8:41 pm
wht
We had about 2 feet.
8:42 pm
bichon
Just looked at the Hartford Courant site and some towns won't have roads passable til Monday.
8:42 pm
ChampFit
And I don't mean to discount your snow storm bichon...my sis-in-law in Boston had a ton.
8:42 pm
Dorens
i only have about 15 inches. Normally that would seem a lot, but not this time
8:43 pm
bichon
I'm happy to have power, Tv and internet. We dug out part of the driveway and the fluffs can runn around free
8:43 pm
MollyL
<---Thinks 15 inches is more than enough
8:43 pm
ChampFit
Ditto. Awesome that you aren't disconnected or uncomfortable bichon!
8:44 pm
wht
We also felt that we were fortunate in that we didn't loose power.
8:44 pm
Dorens
i had a guy with a plow come do it this morning. don't know how much it will cost. don't care. all i care about is that there was not much wind so didn't lose power. I think i'm suffering from PTSD... any thought of losing power after last fall.... i lose my mind. had flashlights and all ready last night
8:44 pm
MollyL
Big snowstorms with power outages are depressing. We had a 30 hour outage in the winter of 2009.
8:45 pm
wht
Snowstorms become social events because it is one time that you see all your neighbrors as they are all out at the same time shovelling.
8:45 pm

i lost it for three days in the winter of 2010... but after sandy... twelve days. jsut too much

12 days with no power is enough to put anyone into clinical depression. You were with friends some of that time, right Dorens?
8:48 pm
Dorens
yes i was molly... but had to come home every day to feed the cats and spend some time with them... and each time brought more clothes and stuff to annie's house. By the time I came home, it seemed half my belongings were at her house. I was lucky, for sure, but it still was a drag and a half.
8:49 pm

I'm just glad you had somewhere to go. I can't imagine living without power that long.

May I please have a clue for ba6-36? Thanks
10:11 pm

I use a pack of Swiss Miss Dark chocolate sensation cocoa mix instead of the cocoa and sugar. Also substitute 3T of leftover coffee for the water and add a few chocolate chips.

10:14 pm

double clues often help!
10:15 pm

The coffee instead of water and adding the chocolate chips are a must.
10:15 pm
Lizlin
Coffee and chocolate go so well :)
10:15 pm
gapeach
need food, brb
10:16 pm
MollyL
(In my Forest Gump voice) Just like peas and carrots
10:17 pm
Lizlin
lol - preference is choc / coffee!
10:17 pm
Lizlin
Using list - grid improving a bit!
10:18 pm
MollyL
Maybe Forest should have said "Me and Jenny are just like chocolate and coffee"
10:19 pm
Lizlin
Probably a better line but not so funny!
10:20 pm
smores
So you use coffee in yours too Molly?
10:20 pm
MollyL
Yes, and it would have tread all over Mama Gumps line about how life is like a box of chocolates.
10:21 pm
Lizlin
And probably too complex for forest gump too!
10:22 pm
MollyL
The recipe I have calls for coffee.
10:23 pm
smores
the one I have uses water
10:24 pm
smores
lol...also says chocolate chips optional...yeah right, as if
10:25 pm
MollyL
Do you use oil or butter/margarine? Butter/margarine is much better.
10:26 pm
smores
I use canola oil, I'll have to try it with butter next time.

Hi Min :)
10:27 pm
MollyL
We were talking about this recipe at work once and some health nut popped up with the fact that she used pumpkin puree instead of oil to lower the fat content. We all looked at her like she was from Mars.
10:28 pm
MollyL
Seriously, if you want a healthy snack, eat your carrot sticks and don't mess with brownie recipes.
10:28 pm
smores
lol...never heard of that one...I do like to use applesauce instead sometimes
10:29 pm
gapeach
Hi there, Min. Hope all is well with you.
10:29 pm
smores
Not for brownies of course, but in butter or spice cake recipes.
10:29 pm

Hi Min :)
10:29 pm

Hi Min, what's your snow situation?
10:30 pm

I'm jumping into the middle of this conversation, but speaking of health, I found out if you drink a glass of water before before going to bed it can reduce your chances of dying in your sleep. Don't know if it's true
10:31 pm

okay Jilly
10:31 pm

Minveryork
LOL torgone!That is true and hello there! How are U?

10:34 pm
MollyL
Oh good Min, glad you didn't get clobbered.
10:35 pm
Minveryork
Actually,it was really easy for me because I didn't do it.Hubby snow plowed driveway and then made trails in the backyard so dog would have a place to urinate
10:35 pm
Jillyjill
I heard amounts were variable in NYC
10:36 pm

MollyL
Nothing Dorens, you can use either.
10:48 pm
Dorens
cool. i like the idea of that. it looks tasty, and I don't have to feel guilty about making an entire cake and what to do with it
10:49 pm
smores
Thank you Molly :)
10:49 pm
MollyL
And if it really matters in some recipe, you can give regular oats a whirl in the blender or food chopper to make them smaller.
10:49 pm

The other day my coworker gave me some advice on how to not let others bother me. She said I should do yoga and to put whatever bothers me into different baskets. She says that she has baskets for different things depending on what bothers her. So then when another colleague upset her a few days later, I think she forgot about her baskets so I had to remind her.

11:03 pm
Minveryork
Kill'em with kindness smores. That is my motto.
11:03 pm
